#1 – Kamala Harris’ New Nickname Is So Funny and So Right on Target — by Nick Arama
“Que Mala!” means “How Bad!”
Then they tried to translate the MALA to “Make America Love Again,” which is basically trying to rip off former President Donald Trump’s MAGA structure. Harris herself has already tried to rip off his policy positions such as calling for “no tax on tips.” Trump is literally living rent-free in her head as her team seems to be looking for him for things like this. She doesn’t seem to want to put out there her own positions in clear fashion, and she still has no policy positions on her website. She’s trying to get into office without being concise on any of those thoughts, likely because if she put out her real positions, Americans would know “how bad” they truly were.
#2 – Biden Goes Full-On Incoherent in Pittsburgh, What He Says About Kamala Is Incredible — by Nick Arama
In some ways, it would be better if he stayed on vacation, as he may do less damage then when he’s actually before the cameras and talking. How wrong it is that the Democrats have put us in that position with him, by not being honest about his condition. Kamala Harris is chief among those who has not been honest with the American people about Biden’s issues.
After making bizarre comments before and after a meeting in the Situation Room about the situation in Israel, Biden went with Harris to Pittsburgh for a campaign event with union people.
#3 – WATCH: Tom Cotton Takes Down NBC News Anchor After She Shamelessly Lies Defending Kamala Harris — by Bonchie
Cotton’s takedown of Welker’s talking points is perfect, not because of some impressive political prowess, but because it’s the truth. The claim that Trump made “campaign content” at Arlington National Cemetery is simply false. None of the pictures with the family have been used in ads or placed in a political context by the Trump campaign. He was there at the behest of the Gold Star families. Given their children died defending this country, I think they have a right to snap a few pictures if they’d like.
This game has long been played left and the federal bureaucracy. When John McCain took some video of him walking among the gravestones, the press attacked him for it. When Barack Obama and Joe Biden did the same thing (including Biden being pictured in Section 60), no one said a word. No ANC official came running out telling them to put the cameras away while accusing them of breaking the rules. Let a Republican show up to honor the fallen though, and suddenly it’s a scandal. The entire thing is so transparent.
#4 – Honolulu: Man Stops and Kills Mass Shooter, and Is Promptly Arrested…for Murder — by Jim Thompson
The police chief of Honolulu was happy to announce that it didn’t matter if you have “license” to carry a gun and you are defending yourself and, in fact, stop a mass shooting on your own property you will be arrested for murder. A few days ago the following happened:
Three people were killed and two others injured in a shooting at a home stemming from a dispute between neighbors on Saturday night in Waianae, a west Oahu community. The shooter was also fatally shot by a resident, who was arrested on a second-degree murder charge, police said.
Police Chief Arthur Logan (he wants you to call him “Joe”) told the local paper that in the state of Hawaii and in his city, you cannot defend yourself based on “stand your ground” principles.
#5 – WATCH: ‘Trump’ Impersonator Hilariously Explains How He Worked at McDonald’s Like Kamala — by Nick Arama
With Tim Walz, it seems to be continual revelations about lies in his background, with Kamala Harris she can’t even keep her policies straight and seems to say whatever she thinks will help her politically, regardless of the truth. She also seems to be developing a habit of swiping policies from her opponent, former President Donald Trump, including the “no tax on tips” idea.
It’s hard to imagine, but there was even a question about whether Kamala Harris was telling the truth about working at McDonald’s, making fries, when she was young. Who would make up something like that? But she didn’t mention it in her resume, or any of her books, or in her biography.
