Kamala Backs Mass Amnesty for Illegals in Rambling Interview.

Vice President Kamala Harris is backing mass amnesty for illegal immigrants instead of mass deportations, which are supported by a majority of the American people. The immigration policy revelation came during a disjointed response by the 2024 Democrat Party presidential nominee to a question posed by Telemundo.

“Right now, we’re talking about border security and there’s nobody—no Democrat—talking about a pathway to citizenship, an immigration relief,” pressed Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro before Harris interjected: “I am!”

Vaqueiro continued, emphasizing Democrats are not talking enough about the “benefits migrants bring to this country.” At this point, Harris engages in one of her signature rambling, nonsensical interview answers.

“Oh, but there is no question that [pause] migrants bring. America is a country that is, was built, in part, by immigrants,” the vice president says, appearing confused by her own response. When pressed further by Vaqueiro regarding concerns among immigrants about mass deportations, Harris—becoming visibly frustrated and angry—says: “I’m not talking about other… Uh, we need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes a pathway to citizenship.”

Trump Suggests He Could Abolish Federal Income Tax Entirely

Donald Trump has sensationally suggested that he could abolish federal income tax for Americans entirely if he wins the presidency.

Trump made the comments during a visit to a barber shop in the Bronx after he was asked if there was “a way to eliminate federal taxes.”

Suggesting that America could return to the policies of the late 1800s, when income tax funds were replaced by new trade tariffs, Trump said America could go back to a time “when we were a smart country” and “relatively the richest it ever was.”

“It had all tariffs — it didn’t have an income tax,” said Trump.

“Now we have income taxes, and we have people that are dying. They’re paying tax, and they don’t have the money to pay the tax,” he added.

The presidential candidate said that during the 1890’s, America was becoming so rich, “We had to set up committees, blue ribbon committees (on) how to spend our wealth – we had no idea how to spend it there was so much money.”

“Then we went to the income tax system and the rest is sort of history,” said Trump.

WOW! Kamala Harris Says She’s Considering Taxpayer Funded Reparations for Black People

Kamala Harris joined black radio host Charlamagne Tha God for a live audio town hall where she indicated that she’s considering reparations for black people if elected president. 

It can be recalled that Charlamagne Tha God is the same radio host who Joe Biden told, “You ain’t black” if you don’t vote for him in 2020.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Kamala’s scripted town hall, which was still a disaster despite not even being on camera.

The town hall abruptly ended as Kamala Harris rambled on about nonsense.

During the show, Harris was asked about her stance on reparations, and she said that the idea “needs to be studied.”

She then continued with her typical talking point that she “grew up in the middle class.”

After the last four years, we all deserve reparations for suffering under the Harris-Biden Regime while illegal aliens receive handouts paid for by our hard-earned money.

After Locking Up 1000s For Weed Possession, Kamala Harris Patronizes Black Men In Pot Pandering Scheme

On track to post Democrats’ worst presidential-election performance with blacks in 64 years, a desperate Kamala Harris smashed the vote-buying button on Monday, proposing an “Opportunity Agenda” for black men that includes dishing out one million “forgivable loans” at $20,000 each. 

The loans would be offered to black entrepreneurs “in partnership with trusted organizations like mission-driven lenders and banks with a proven commitment to their communities,” the Harris-Walz campaign said. If these “forgivable loans” are anything like the ones dished out to businesses during the madness of Covid stimulus, they’ll be loans in name only — meaning this is just a blatant wealth redistribution scheme aimed at buying black votes.  

Unsurprisingly, the campaign provided few details about the program’s requirements — such as just how black one will need to be to qualify.

The pledge comically evidences Harris’ generationally-terrible poll numbers among blacks. Consider that, in 2012, President Obama owned the black vote by an 85-point margin. Today, Harris is up by just 54 points. The numbers are even worse among black men age 18 to 45: Obama won by 81, and Harris is up 41. Among all black men and women, Harris is poised to have the lowest share of the black vote since John F. Kennedy faced Richard Nixon in 1960.

President Trump Accuses Google of Illegally Manipulating Search Results to Favor Kamala Harris, Vows to Prosecute for Election Interference When Re-Elected!

President Donald Trump has launched a new salvo in his war against Big Tech, specifically targeting Google for its blatant election interference.

Trump says Google has manipulated its search algorithms to boost Kamala Harris in the presidential race while simultaneously burying information about him.

The former president vowed to bring Google to justice for this illegal activity if he is re-elected.

The latest accusations stem from a disturbing pattern noticed by users across platforms last month—searches related to Trump’s campaign and the July 13 assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, failed to generate relevant autocomplete suggestions.

Instead, Google’s search engine prioritized results for historical incidents like the attacks on Presidents Truman and Reagan, along with completely unrelated events like the shooting of musician Bob Marley.

What’s So Goofy About Eliminating Taxes?

A prominent libertarian is calling Trump’s tax proposals to eliminate taxes on tips and Social Security benefits “goofy.” What’s so goofy about eliminating these taxes and letting Americans keep more of their money?

Said Trump about tip taxation: “For those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy, because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips. You do a great job of service. You take care of people, and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved.”

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS): “All cash and non-cash tips an received by an employee are income and are subject to Federal income taxes. All cash tips received by an employee in any calendar month are subject to social security and Medicare taxes and must be reported to the employer.” Tips include:

  • Cash tips received directly from customers.
  • Tips from customers who leave a tip through electronic settlement or payment. This includes a credit card, debit card, gift card or any other electronic payment method.
  • The value of any noncash tips, such as tickets or other items of value.
  • Tip amounts received from other employees paid out through tip pools, tip splitting, or other formal/informal tip sharing arrangement.

Said Trump about Social Security taxation: “Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security and they won’t.”

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA):

Fifty percent of a taxpayer’s benefits may be taxable if they are:

  • Filing single, head of household or qualifying widow or widower with $25,000 to $34,000 income.
  • Married filing separately and lived apart from their spouse for all of 2020 with $25,000 to $34,000 income.
  • Married filing jointly with $32,000 to $44,000 income.

Up to 85% of a taxpayer’s benefits may be taxable if they are:

  • Filing single, head of household or qualifying widow or widower with more than $34,000 income.
  • Married filing jointly with more than $44,000 income.
  • Married filing separately and lived apart from their spouse for all of 2021 with more than $34,000 income.
  • Married filing separately and lived with their spouse at any time during 2021.

(Income here is “provisional income” — adjusted gross income + nontaxable interest income + half of Social Security benefits.) Congress has never adjusted the income thresholds that subject Social Security benefits to taxation. They have never even been indexed for inflation.

Trump Vows To End Ukraine War BEFORE Taking Office If elected

During an X Spaces discussion, Donald Trump again promised to end the war in Ukraine, noting that he intends to do it as president elect, before taking office.

Trump appeared on Spaces with cryptocurrency enthusiast Farokh Sarmad, marking his first interview since the second attempt on his life.

He stated, “I want to get Russia to settle up with Ukraine and stop this — millions of people being killed, far greater than the number you read about.”

Trump added, “But I want to get that done before I even take office, I want to get that done as president-elect, because it has to be solved — too many people dying, too many cities are just in rubble right now, you look at the cultures just being destroyed. We’ve got to get that done, and I’ll get it done.”

He further claimed that had Joe Biden not been voted into office, “There wouldn’t have been an October 7th, there wouldn’t have been Russia attacking Ukraine, there wouldn’t be inflation, all this inflation which has hurt people so badly.”

Kamala Harris vows to grant amnesty to migrants who illegally cross border: ‘Earned pathway to citizenship’

Vice President Kamala Harris vows on her long-awaited new campaign website to establish an “earned pathway to citizenship” for migrants who cross the border illegally.

“She knows that our immigration system is broken and needs comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship,” says the website — which only went online Sunday, a month and a half into her campaign, and has already been criticized as too vague.

Former President Donald Trump, who Harris is going up against for the White House, has claimed he will enact a large deportation initiative to expel illegal migrants from the US.

Harris’ website policies on the border, which voters rank as a high-priority issue, don’t add anything beyond harking back to a related bipartisan Senate bill.

“As President, she will bring back the bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law,” her website states without offering any other proposals on the crisis.

Harris Campaign Omits Marijuana From New Issues Page As Trump Earns Praise For Backing Legalization

As the cannabis world reacts to former President Donald Trump’s newly announced support for federal rescheduling, advocates are taking notice that a new, long-awaited issues page launched by the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris omits any mention of marijuana policy reform despite her record promoting comprehensive legalization.

The issues page is fairly exhaustive, with details about her platform on taxes, affordable housing, health care, education, child care and more.

The new website section touches briefly on broader drug policy, noting that Harris is “committed to ending the opioid epidemic and tackling the scourge of fentanyl”—noting her record of going after “drug traffickers” as a prosecutor but also pointing out that when it comes to harm reduction, the Biden-Harris administration “made the overdose-reversal drug naloxone available over-the-counter.”

Notably absent, however, is any mention of her position on cannabis policy.

While Harris privately reaffirmed her support for legalization during a roundtable event at the White House event with marijuana pardon recipients—and she sponsored a bill to end federal prohibition during her time in the Senate—she’s been silent on the issue since President Joe Biden bowed out of the race and she became the nominee.

That seems to have created an opening for Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee, to seize the issue in recent weeks, culminating in a post he made on his social media site Truth Social on Sunday, where he embraced the Biden administration’s push to reschedule marijuana and also backed freeing up banks to work with state-legal cannabis businesses.

Trump also confirmed he would be voting in favor of a Florida ballot initiative to legalize marijuana as a resident of the state—another development that seems to run counter to the extreme anti-drug rhetoric he’s previously promoted during the campaign.

The prior Biden-Harris campaign had made several attempts to contrast the administration’s marijuana reform actions with those of the Trump administration, pointing out for example that his former attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had rescinded Obama era guidance that generally encouraged prosecutorial discretion in federal marijuana enforcement.

Trump Says He’ll Release Epstein Files If Elected

During a podcast with Lex Fridman, Donald Trump said he has “no problem” releasing all the files on sex trafficker to the elite Jeffrey Epstein, should he be elected in November.

When Fridman brought up the subject, Trump stated “A lot of big people went to that island, but fortunately I was not one of them.”

Fridman noted “It’s just very strange for a lot of people that the list of people that went to the island has not been made public.”

“Yeah. It’s very interesting, isn’t it?” Trump responded.

“So if you’re able to, you will (release the Epstein files)?” Fridman asked.

“I’d certainly take a look at it,” Trump replied, adding “yeah, I’d be inclined to do the Epstein. I’d have no problem with it.”

This could get interesting.
