Kamala Harris greatly exaggerated prosecutorial record during district attorney campaign

By James Lynch | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris exaggerated her trial experience when she first ran for San Francisco district attorney just over two decades ago, greatly overstating the number of felony cases she prosecuted in order to bolster her image as the tough-but-fair prosecutor San Franciscans needed to set the city straight. Harris’s overstatements about her prosecutorial record, central to her pitch as a candidate who would clean up inner-city crime, became a point of attack throughout the campaign from opponents who questioned her level of experience. “As Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County from 1990 to 1998, Kamala prosecuted hundreds of serious and violent felonies, including homicide, rape and child sexual assault cases,” Harris’s campaign bio s...

Could illegal immigration sway elections in swing states?

By Unleash Prosperity Our friend Jon Sutz has reported in his “Fact Check” blog that illegal immigration numbers have roughly quadrupled in the seven swing states under Biden. Funny how that was allowed to happen. As we’ve noted in previous HOTLINE issues, if even a small fraction of these non-citizens cast ballots in the razor-tight races in these battleground states, it could decide who the next president is. Makes you wonder why liberals are so opposed to requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. READ THE FULL STORY AT UNLEASH PROSPERITY

Biden-Harris admin shipping migrants to Arizona and Texas to hide border problem before Election Day: ‘It’s about optics’

By Jennie Taer | New York Post With just two weeks until the presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration is working overtime to hide its illegal migrant problem from the public’s view, furious Border Patrol agents say. ICE has been ordered to speed up deportations. And Border Patrol agents are busing and flying migrants from San Diego — where arrivals are still double what they were when President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, Homeland Security sources told The Post. They’re being sent to border towns in Texas and Arizona, which have far fewer migrants. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

In anti-Trump rant, Biden blurts out: ‘We gotta lock him up’

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller President Joe Biden said Tuesday at New Hampshire’s Democratic National Committee (DNC) office that the party needs to “lock up” former President Donald Trump, quickly adding he meant to “politically” lock him up. Since 2019, Democrats have been calling for Trump to be behind bars, flipping the script on their previous criticism of Republicans and the former president for calling for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to be locked up. While speaking to the DNC office in Concord, New Hampshire, Biden noted how close the race is becoming, claiming Trump believes he has immunity from “physically eliminating” threats. “All of it’s on a knife’s edge. It’s on a knife’s edge right now. So this is really, really, really, reall...

‘Release the memes’: Babylon Bee scores free speech win after Newsom tried to make parody illegal

By Leah Barkoukis | Town Hall Free speech advocates are celebrating after California agreed it would not enforce one of its new censorship laws targeting political satire and parody. The development comes less than a month after Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, on behalf of The Babylon Bee and attorney Kelly Chang Rickert, sued the state over two new laws that aim to censor online content.  “All of it’s on a knife’s edge. It’s on a knife’s edge right now. So this is really, really, really, really important right now. Folks, look, think about it. He is talking about doing away with the entire Department of Education — he means it, this is not a joke. This [is] a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant, every single one,” Biden said. "Because one of ...

Harris rejects religious exemptions for abortion

 By David Zimmermann  | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night she would reject religious exemptions for abortion as president, effectively forcing health-care providers to perform the medical procedure in violation of their moral conscience. The Democratic presidential nominee has been adamant about passing a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law, despite the Supreme Court overturning that decision in 2022. In an interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris indicated she would refuse to compromise with Republican lawmakers on the abortion legislation. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body,” Harris said when asked if sh...

Walcher: A new national sacrifice zone in effort to move beyond oil & gas?

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A couple years ago a little-noticed report called, “Beyond Carbon-Free: A Framework for Purpose-Led Renewable Energy Procurement and Development” was published by an energy company in Seattle, together with the Nature Conservancy and the National Audubon Society. It suggested that the goal of net-zero carbon emissions would require “massive areas of land for development,” perhaps “a footprint of 228,000 square miles – a land area greater than that of Wyoming and Colorado, combined.” With a gift for understatement, the authors wrote that “This tremendous need for land poses significant land-use challenges, and the potential for unintended consequences on both local communities and natural habitats.” Oh well, the report said, “In to...

Democrats fear race may be slipping away from Harris

By Amie Parnes  | The Hill There is growing fear in Democratic circles that the presidential race could be slipping further away from Vice President Harris. To be sure, Democrats still think Harris can defeat former President Trump. The margins are so close in the seven battleground states likely to decide the contest, a shift toward either candidate or a mistake in the polling could be decisive.  At the same time, Democrats are privately expressing worry that battleground polling appears to be moving in Trump’s direction over the last two weeks.
