Hi, everyone. Dont you love that music. It is 4 00 in New York. The prosecutor versus the felon, the want to be autocrat versus the democrat. A candidate weighed down by incumbency in the eyes of the voters, a candidate who will be the oldest president in our history should he prevail. Versus the candidate of change from a much younger generation. Every contrast that defined the 2024 president ial election could very well be distilled in to 90 minutes on one of the biggest stages of this Campaign Season so far. With the mics muted and no audience with only the moderator as loued to ask the questions and two minutes to answer and two minutes for rebuttal, Vice President Kamala Harris will be up against a candidate who at this point is defined by his lies. As we reported before, he told more than 30,000 lies over the course of his presidency. Countless more since then. A candidate who has no problem spewing disinformation no matter the consequences, as long as it serves had im. Here is h
If Donald Trump goes in and does what he does exactly with Joe Biden, that is let the opponent talk, it is the best night of his life because Kamala Harris cannot speak extemporaneously.

The expectation has always been that she is punting above peered she will have to punt above her weight and she was the underdog and this debate is no different. She will appear to do better during the debate but the problem is you will take whatever she says during the debate and compare it to all of those platforms that you just listed it that she already flipped on. John moments are now the White House will hold its first briefing of the week as Vice President harris prepares to defend the admin
Speaking out for the first time. Why . This is not a normal election in any way. Certainly not one defined by policy debate. In one fell swoop, Donald Trump laid the groundwork to dispute the 2024 election just as did he in 2020. He threatened mass arrests of election officials, political opponents and critics and it landed like a Thunder Clap in the Saturday Night truth social post. It read in part, quote, when i win, those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Which will include longterm Prison Sentences so that this depravity of justice does not happen again. Please beware that this legal exposure extends to lawyers, political operatives, donors, illegal voters and corrupt election officials. Those involved in Inscrupulous Behavior will be sought out and caught and prosecuted at levels unfortunately never seen before in our country. And now you should know it includes a lot of nonsensical caps. A couple of long words that make me wonder who wrote i
