FINALLY: Kamala Harris releases policy platform on her official campaign website… and it’s as bad as you might expect

Vice President Kamala Harris has finally released a policy platform on her official campaign website.

The policy platform, titled “New Way Forward,” seeks to align her campaign more closely with the mainstream political views while addressing key issues that have defined her tenure and political identity. (Related: Kamala Harris working with Tim Walz to create federal Department of GROCERIES – food price controls and empty shelves won’t be far behind.)

In a section labeled “safeguard[ing] our fundamental freedoms,” Harris declared her opposition to a national abortion ban, pledging to sign any bill that restores reproductive freedom nationwide.

She also disclosed her commitment to pushing for the passage of the “Equality Act,” a controversial measure that mandates legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals across various sectors, including business, education and public spaces. The act would also require employers and educators to use the preferred pronouns of every person, allow transgender athletes to compete in sports based on their gender identity and obligate health care providers to offer so-called “gender-affirming” care, even for minors.

Harris’ platform also endorses the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” and the “Freedom to Vote Act,” which seeks to strengthen voting rights protections, expand vote-by-mail options and increase early voting opportunities.

The Democratic presidential nominee also proposes a range of economic measures under the theme of creating an “opportunity economy.” These include expanding child tax credits, increasing government spending on affordable housing, providing direct payments to first-time homebuyers and taking legal action against corporations for price gouging. She also calls for supporting the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), strengthening Social Security and Medicare through higher taxes on the wealthy and investing in infrastructure, education, child care and clean energy.

Moreover, the Harris campaign agenda outlines plans to “ensure safety and justice for all,” advocating for stronger gun control measures, immigration reform through a “bipartisan” border security bill and the elimination of presidential immunity. The platform also supports “common-sense Supreme Court reforms,” including imposing term limits on justices and requiring them to adhere to ethics rules that govern other federal judges.

On foreign policy, Harris promises to maintain the strength and security of America by standing firm against dictators, pursuing peace efforts in conflict zones such as Gaza and investing in future-facing industries like semiconductors, so-called “clean” renewable energy and artificial intelligence.

Did Someone Leak the Debate Questions to Kamala Harris?

It’s a fair question. Why? Because it’s happened before. It’s not some tin foil hat, pie-in-the-sky conspiracy theory: Democrats hired by major news networks have fed debate questions to their party’s presidential nominees. While many analyses and polls are being discussed about the ABC News debate on Tuesday, what about the possibility that Harris got the questions in advance?

To tee this up, let’s not forget that Donna Brazile gave the Clinton campaign the questions before the CNN debate: 

Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile acknowledged sending town hall topics to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, calling it a “mistake I will forever regret.” 

Brazile wrote in an essay for Time magazine that she shared potential topics for a CNN town hall with the Clinton campaign in her role as a Democratic operative and the DNC vice chair. 

“My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen,” she wrote. “But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret.”

WikiLeaks posted emails from Brazile to the Clinton campaign that tipped it off that a woman from Flint, Michigan, would ask Clinton about the situation there for a town hall. Brazile also told the campaign that Clinton would be asked about the death penalty at a separate town hall. 

CNN dropped Brazile as a contributor after the revelations. When the email alerting the Clinton campaign about the death penalty question was released, Brazile suggested the documents were “misinformation.”

Overthrowing The Constitution: All Sides Are Waging War On Our Freedoms

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” — Abraham Lincoln

It is both apt and ironic that the anniversary of 9/11, which paved the way for the government to overthrow the Constitution, occurs the week before the anniversary of the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787.

All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain the biggest losers.

This year’s presidential election is no exception.

As Bruce Fein, the former associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, warns in a recent article in the Baltimore Sun, “In November, the American people will have a choice between Harris-Walz and Trump-Vance. But they will not have a choice between an Empire and a Republic.”

In other words, the candidates on this year’s ballot do not represent a substantive choice between freedom and tyranny so much as they constitute a cosmetic choice: the packaging may vary widely, but the contents remain the same.

No matter who wins, the bureaucratic minions of the Security/Military Industrial Complex and its Police State/Deep State partners will retain their stranglehold on power.

Neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris have the greatest of track records when it comes to actually respecting the rights enshrined in the Constitution, despite the rhetoric being trotted out by both sides lately regarding their so-called devotion to the rule of law.

Indeed, Trump has repeatedly called for parts of the Constitution to be terminated, while both Harris and Trump seem to view the First Amendment’s assurance of the right to free speech, political expression and protest as dangerous when used to challenge the government’s power.

This flies in the face of everything America’s founders fought to safeguard.

CNN’s Tapper Slams Kamala For Dodging Questions During Debate

CNN’s Jake Tapper unusually criticized Kamala Harris’ debate performance, pointing out a number of examples where she dodged actual question being asked.

The presidential debate was noteworthy for its clear bias towards Harris, who received zero fact checks from the moderators despite making a number of false claims.

On the other hand, Trump was fact checked at least four times and faced numerous ‘follow up’ confrontations with the moderators compared to Harris who faced barely any.

CNN also noted Kamala’s repeated prevarications when questions were lobbed her way.

When Harris was asked, “Do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?” she responded by saying, “I was raised as a middle class kid.”

Debate Debacle: Our Bleak Foreign Policy Future

The first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump presented a bleak picture of the future of U.S. foreign policy no matter who wins in November. On the most urgent and important foreign policy issue of the year, the war and genocide in Gaza, Harris repeated empty platitudes about a “two-state solution” and Trump fell back on tired “pro-Israel” rhetoric. Neither candidate offered voters any hope that there would be a meaningful change from Biden’s policy of unconditional support for the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians.

Trump absurdly said that Harris hates Israel, but aside from her perfunctory expression of support for Palestinian self-determination there was unfortunately very little to distinguish the two of them on this issue. Like Trump, Harris backs Israel to the hilt, and the main difference is that she pays lip service to Palestinian rights while doing nothing to protect them. She says some of the right things about the need for a ceasefire, but the Joe Biden administration isn’t willing to use its leverage to secure one and Harris refuses to call for the halt to U.S. arms transfers that U.S. law requires.

Harris has had many opportunities in the two months since Biden dropped out to separate herself from the president on this issue. She squandered them all by sticking to the official administration line. The vice president would rather tout her support from the likes of Dick Cheney than try to win the support of antiwar voters across the country. Harris has been catering mostly to hawks this summer, and she prefers attacking Trump for being “weak” instead of using his policy failures against him.

Undebatable: What Harris and Trump Could Not Say About Israel and Gaza

Kamala Harris won the debate. People being bombed in Gaza did not.

The banner headline across the top of the New York Times home page – “Harris Puts Trump on Defensive in Fierce Debate” – was accurate enough. But despite the good news for people understandably eager for Trump to be defeated, the Harris debate performance was a moral and political tragedy.

In Gaza “now an estimated 40,000 Palestinians are dead,” an ABC News moderator said. “Nearly 100 hostages remain… President Biden has not been able to break through the stalemate. How would you do it?”

Vice President Harris replied with her standard wording: “Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must when, end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out.”

“End immediately”? Anyone who isn’t in fantasyland knows that the only way to soon end the slaughter of Palestinian civilians would be for the U.S. government – the overwhelmingly biggest supplier of Israel’s armaments – to stop sending weapons to Israel.

Meanwhile, a pivot to advocating for a cutoff of weapons to Israel would help Harris win the presidency. After the debate, the Institute for Middle East Understanding pointed out that the need to halt the weapons is not only moral and legal – it’s also smart politics. Polls are clear that most Americans want to stop arming Israel. In swing states, polling has found that a large number of voters say they’d be more likely to cast a ballot for Harris if she would support a halt.

Election Officials Warn of Potential Voting Chaos Due to Mail System Failures

On Wednesday, state and local election officials from across the country warned that issues with the mail delivery system could disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election. In a concerning letter, they informed the U.S. Postal Service head that ongoing deficiencies have not been addressed.

Officials reported that over the past year and during the recent primary season, mailed ballots postmarked on time were often received days past the counting deadline. 

They also highlighted issues with properly addressed election mail being returned as undeliverable, which could inadvertently place voters on inactive status and cause confusion when they attempt to vote. 

The officials also stated that their repeated attempts to address these issues with the Postal Service had been unsuccessful, noting that the widespread nature of the problems indicated that they were not isolated incidents or issues with specific facilities but rather a systemic failure to understand and enforce USPS policies among employees.

Fact Check: CNN Claims Kamala Harris Only Made One False Statement During Debate

CLAIM: Vice President Kamala Harris delivered only one false statement during Tuesday night’s debate on ABC News, CNN Senior Reporter Daniel Dale alleged.

VERDICT: False. Harris delivered at least 21 false statements and hoaxes, according to Breitbart News’s Alana Mastrangelo:

1. “Very fine people” hoax
2. Project 2025 hoax
3. False claims on Trump trade deficit
4. Putin can “do whatever the hell he wants”
5. “Dictator on day one” hoax
6. Blaming botched Afghanistan withdrawal on Trump
7. Putin “would be sitting in Kyiv”
8. “Bloodbath” hoax
9. Abortion “monitor” hoax
10. Rental property hoax
11. Central Park Five “execution” hoax
12. “Suckers and losers” hoax
13. False fracking claims
14. False oil production claims
15. National Sales Tax
16. Distorting unemployment figures
17. “I was raised middle-class”
18. “Terminating” the Constitution
19. “Sold us out” to China
20. “Not one” troop in any war zone
21. Taking guns away

Read more specifics on Harris’s false statements and hoaxes here.

Dale alleged that the only false statement Harris delivered was a claim that former President Donald Trump left the Biden-Harris administration the worst employment since the Great Depression.

“So, the Biden-Harris administration was not actually left the worst unemployment since the Great Depression,” Dale reported Tuesday evening:

They were left a 6.4 percent unemployment rate in January 2020, one that was certainly elevated, by recent standards — pretty high — but it was significantly down from the 14.18 percent level it reached early in the pandemic, so, it was already improving at the time the Biden-Harris administration took office, and that 6.4 percent level was the highest since the Great Recession, so, in the last 20 years, not going back decades.

Democrat allies in the establishment media widely applauded ABC News debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for their performance.

Muir and Davis attempted to “fact-check” Trump at least seven times but never did so with Harris, according to an analysis by Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak. Harris regurgitated many hoaxes, notably the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax, but the moderators turned a blind eye. The “fact-checking” was in one direction, Pollak found.

At one point in the debate, Muir even fact-checked Trump’s claim that he was sarcastic when discussing the results of the 2020 election in a recent interview.

Trump Campaign Fact-Checks Kamala Harris Point by Point After Biased Moderators Fail to Call Out Her Lies During Debate — Here are the Details

The Trump campaign is taking matters into its own hands after a blatantly biased performance by the debate moderators, who failed to hold Kamala Harris accountable for her numerous lies.

Last night’s debate featured Kamala Harris dodging responsibility for her failed policies while a complicit moderator allowed her to escape scrutiny in yet another display of blatant media bias.

Despite the stacked odds, President Donald Trump emerged victorious, offering clear solutions while exposing Kamala Harris’s disastrous record and long list of lies.

The debate was a glaring example of how far the radical left is willing to go to distort the truth. Kamala Harris, with the full support of a biased moderator, attempted to rewrite history while pushing dangerous, far-left policies. But the facts speak for themselves.

Trump campaign officials immediately issued a point-by-point fact-check of Harris’s lies.

Biologist Bret Weinstein’s Ominous Prediction: Harris Will Lose Electoral and Popular Vote, but It Won’t Be ‘Reported’ That Way

The 2024 election is already shaping up to feel a lot like 2020. There are a lot of familiar red flags popping up, especially with all the warnings and alarm bells going off. Let’s be real—at this point, most Americans believe there was plenty of “funny business” surrounding 2020. From the free-for-all with mail-in ballots to unmanned drop boxes, late-night suitcases, “busted pipes,” and those private “ballot counting” sessions, the entire election felt off—especially the so-called “winner.”

Here we are again, dealing with the same concerns, thanks to the Deep State, who tore open Pandora’s Box back in 2020 when they tampered with our sacred elections. They made it clear to the American people that their voice and their vote didn’t matter.

Now, Bret Weinstein, a biologist and podcaster, is taking things a step further with a chilling prediction he made while chatting with media heavy hitter Glenn Beck. Bret says Kamala’s “Team Blue” will take a major hit, losing both the electoral and popular vote, which doesn’t sound all that bold, right? But here’s where things get interesting—Bret claims none of Harris’s losses will actually be reported by the media.

A new level of cheating: gaslighting.”
