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with those of the Trump administration, pointing out for example that his former attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had rescinded Obama era guidance that generally encouraged prosecutorial discretion in federal marijuana enforcement.

Vivek Ramaswamy Warns That ‘Strange Things’ Could Happen After the Presidential Debate if it’s Clear That Trump Won

The debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is happening this week and millions of Americans will be watching.

Vivek Ramaswamy spoke to Sean Hannity this week and warned that if it is clear after the debate that Trump won, which he fully expects, some ‘strange things’ could happen in the weeks that follow, ahead of the election.

Ramaswamy points to the fact that it was after Biden bombed in the June debate that Democrats booted him off the ticket. He is not suggesting that Democrats will try to get rid of Harris, but notes that the left will stop at nothing to prevent Trump from winning the election.

RedState has details:

People remember that Joe Biden imploded in the first debate. But Trump also did very well under the same rules that are going to be employed on Tuesday. If he has the same kind of performance, he’s going to be in a good position, especially if Harris is hampered by her own issues and glitches out while speaking extemporaneously.

Whatever she does, even if she falls off the stage, I fully expect most of the liberal media to say how she triumphed and how Trump “lied”–or paint something he says as wrong/bad/racist. We’re constantly seeing the media do that with things like the “fine people” and “bloodbath” hoaxes.

But former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has issued a warning. He anticipates that Trump will “run circles around” Harris. But that isn’t the only thing here. Prepare for “strange things” to happen before November, he warns, if Harris “tanks.”

“They’ve already sued him, prosecuted him, tried to kick him off the ballot, and swapped out his opponent. All of it could be just a preview of what’s to come,” he said on Fox’s “Hannity” show Friday night…

WHOA: Jesse Watters and Josh Hawley Reveal More SHOCKING Trump Shooting Facts From Whistleblowers

It is sometimes impossible to believe that we are just under two months removed from the attempted assassination of Donald Trump — a former President and the Republican nominee to become the President again this year — and we have almost no meaningful information about the incident. 

It is equally impossible to believe that there has been nearly no accountability for this epic security failure. Yes, former Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle resigned, but she wasn’t fired by Joe Biden or Alejandro Mayorkas. The only other accountability there has been is that five agents were placed on leave. Not fired. Placed on leave. With pay. 

What is not at all impossible to believe is that the media has completely memory-holed the assassination attempt. They simply do not talk about it. Why not? Because discussion of that historic event could help Trump in the election. The media, in their TDS-induced stupor, simply cannot have that. 

Fortunately for America, there are still brave people within the Secret Service (not you, Ronald Rowe) who have come forward to shed light on the massive security cock-up on July 13. Thanks to Senator Josh Hawley sharing the testimony of those whistleblowers, we have learned more about the attempt on Trump’s life that we never would have otherwise known.

It Was a Setup… REVEALED: Most Agents Protecting Trump During Attempted Assassination Were Homeland Security Personnel Who Received Only a ‘2-Hour Online Webinar’ Beforehand

On July 13, 2024, President Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attempted assassin, Thomas Crooks, was seen staking out the area before the assassination attempt. Crooks somehow was able to carry a gun up on the roof, jump from roof to roof on two buildings, walk around on top of the roof, and then crawl up the metal roof before he started firing at President Trump.

Several Trump supporters were standing nearby screaming at police to take action, who did nothing before Crooks started firing off eight shots at the former president.

Since that day there are still no answers on how Crooks was able to fire off several shots at Trump during a rally and why President Trump was allowed on the stage.

It is now known that former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and the agency denied repeated requests from worried agents on Trump’s detail for more security for the former president. It was denied.

On Tuesday, Senator Josh Hawley posted information from a whistleblower that is truly shocking. According to the whistleblower, the Homeland Security personnel who were assigned to Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania received only a “two-hour online webinar” for their training before protecting President Trump.

Senator Hawley included this in his letter:

“Whistleblower allegations to my office report that the only training received by many HSI agents reassigned to work protective details is a single two-hour webinar on Microsoft Teams featuring pre-recorded videos… These videos were not substantive and their playback was frequently riddled with technical mishaps leaving the HSI agents ill-prepared for the protective mission to which they were newly assigned.”

So DHS refused the Trump campaign requests for extra agents and then the majority of agents who were assigned to the Butler rally received only a ‘two-hour online webinar’ for their training.

It was a setup.

This is a shocking development.

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.

Kremlin Spokesman Suggests Moscow Prefers Kamala Harris Over Donald Trump

After Vladimir Putin said he preferred Biden over Trump, the Kremlin now appears to favor Kamala Harris, saying that, “The Democrats are more predictable.”

Before Biden was forced out of the race, Putin indicated that he had a preference for Biden over Trump, noting that the president was an experienced “old school” type of politician.

With Biden having disappeared from the ticket, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked by pro-Russia TV reporter Pavel Zarubin, “Then who is our candidate now?”

“We have no candidate. But, of course, the Democrats are more predictable. And what Putin said about Biden’s predictability applies to almost all Democrats, including Ms. Harris,” responded Peskov.

The Kremlin spokesman was also dismissive towards Trump’s claim that he could end the war with Ukraine within 24 hours.

“I Was Astonished at the Lack of Numbers Protecting President Trump” – Devin Nunes Insinuates Democrats Were Purposely Trying to Get Trump Killed

Former Congressman and CEO of TRUTH Social, Devin Nunes, spoke to the X22 Report this week. Nunes discussed the 2024 election, the rigged elections, and the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Nunes told X22 Report that he had noticed for months that he was “astonished” that there was not enough Secret Service agents assigned to President Trump’s rallies. The campaign had requested more manpower for months. But Joe Biden refused the requests for some reason.

Nunes implies that Democrats (and deep state officials) were purposely attempting to get Trump killed.

It sure looks that way.

X22 Report: Do you think we’re going to see some October surprises? Do you think they’re either on the side of the Democrats or with Trump and his party? Do you think there are any surprises that are going to come out in October? Normally, we get that.

Devin Nunes: Look, we know now there’s nothing that they won’t do. I mean, look, we watched an attempted assassination attempt. I knew from just my time with the President and speaking to the Secret Service, many who I’ve known for a long time, and they know my background in intelligence, I was just astonished by the lack of numbers that were protecting President Trump.

And I think many of the Secret Service guys that I spoke to knew that also. And this wasn’t a couple of months ago. This goes back a year ago to when I was having these discussions. And I told President Trump numerous times that he’s got be very careful here because a lot of bad actors out there that don’t want to see him in office.

And as you know, just to take that shot to the side of the head, just by, I don’t know, quarter inch, and this is a changed world.

Look, there’s nothing they won’t try. I guess, Dave, is nothing they won’t do, but they are hampered right now because they have two candidates in Kamala, Kumala, however the hell you say her name, and Walz.

Secret Service Failed to Prevent Juvenile from Illegally Entering President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Compound Last December

The US Secret Service failed to prevent a juvenile from illegally entering President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound last December and no one was disciplined or fired over the security breach.

The juvenile intruder was able to wander around undetected for nearly ONE HOUR and even jumped into the pool.

“Sources in the Secret Service community are raising the Mar-a-Lago breach as further evidence that the detail and its supervisors assigned to protect Trump are given preferential treatment and are not bearing the same responsibility for the layers of security failures leading up to the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump that wounded the former president in the ear and killed retired fireman Corey Comperatore in front of his family. The detail and its two leaders are very close to and well-liked by Trump and the former president’s extended family,” RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree said.

FBI Withholds Physical Evidence in Update on Trump Attempted Assassination Investigation

Forty-five days after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a litany of investigative information. While any nibble goes a long way, the information provided has shortcomings insomuch as the FBI still is not being specific about the all-important physical evidence.

Special Agent in charge of the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office, Kevin Rojek, provided remarks during a media call that simply raise more questions. For example, Rojek explains that the “FBI is now in possession of the subject’s autopsy and toxicology reports from the coroner’s office.” Great. When did the FBI obtain the autopsy and toxicology reports from the coroner? Is Rojek referring to the Butler County Coroner or the Allegheny County Medical Examiner? People often confuse these two entities. Specificity would be helpful. It matters.

Rojek also says that the “autopsy report indicated the subject was pronounced deceased at 6:25p.m. on July 13, 2024, as a result of a single gunshot wound to the head.” This reads just like the Butler County Coroner’s death certificate, not the ME’s autopsy. If this is from the coroner and not the ME, then there are serious problems. The coroner’s report reads “an inquisition taken at 615 Whitestown Road on the 13th day of July…” Nope. The coroner went to the crime scene at midnight on the 13th and was rebuffed and told to return later. The coroner returned at 6 a.m. on the 14th to complete the death investigation. Assuming the FBI told the coroner to return later, then the death investigation report is inaccurate and should be corrected, and Agent Rojek should have explained why the coroner was sent away at midnight.

Next. Agent Rojek explains that “all reviewable evidence collected from the AGR roof and from the Subject’s body are consistent with the round fired by the Secret Service Sniper.” It is interesting that the FBI would use the word “consistent.” What the public needs to know is whether a projectile was recovered from the subject’s body and was there a rifling match between the projectile and the barrel of a sniper’s weapon? Providing the ballistics report would be helpful. Further, having a look see at the autopsy would also provide important information about which direction the projectile removed from the subject traveled. Specificity.

FBI Releases Details of Trump Shooter’s Internet Search History, Photos of Gun, Backpack, Explosives

The FBI has provided new insights into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, shedding light on the actions and planning of the would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks.

USA Today reported that the FBI revealed these details in a recent conference call briefing, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation.

Special Agent Kevin Rojek, in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, explained that an analysis of Crooks’ online search history showed “detailed attack planning” before the Butler, Pennsylvania rally where Trump was shot. 

Despite this insight into Crooks’ activities, Rojek stated that a clear motive remains elusive. 

“The FBI’s analysis into Crooks’ activities provided valuable insight into his mindset, but not a definitive motive,” Rojek noted.
