No evidence there were transmitters in Kamala Harris' earrings during debate | Fact check

There is no credible evidence that Harris' earrings contained audio transmitters. Photos show her earrings do not match the claimed wireless...

Frank Luntz Is Just Another CNN Hack

There’s one clear loser from this week’s Presidential debate: Frank Luntz. The Republican pollster and messaging consultant was met with backlash after posting his advice to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

“If she wants to win, Harris needs to train her face not to respond. It feeds into a female stereotype and, more importantly, risks offending undecided voters,” Luntz posted on Tuesday night.

Politics aside, America saw a man who has no business being near the levers of power. Simply put, he’s crazy. - Stephen King

Two top allies of former President Trump are warring on social media about a bigoted social media post mocking Vice President Harris’s Indian heritage, exposing fault lines within the Republican presidential candidate’s inner circle.

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer, a former congressional candidate with a lengthy history of anti-Muslim comments, and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) have been engaged in a war of words on the social platform X, with Greene calling Loomer “appalling and extremely racist” for her recent comments.

New York Court Keeps The Muzzle On Him...

New York’s high court tossed out former President Trump’s appeal of the gag order in his hush money criminal case Thursday. 

The gag order, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s sentencing, bars the former president from making public remarks about prosecutors involved in the case or their families. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) and Judge Juan Merchan remain fair game. 

This all started because a Black man embarrassed him at a correspondents dinner. And now all these years later a Black woman has humiliated him in front of the world. - Don Lewis

The Pet Eaters
NBC News Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor caught up with Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) after the ABC News presidential debate to ask him why he keeps pushing the debunked claim that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets. And he still pushed it.

Doctors are not murdering newborn babies.

Schools are not doing transition surgery on kids.

Trump May Have To Imprison Himself According To His Latest Claim. LOL.
Former President Donald Trump, who makes frequent false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen through rampant fraud, warned Saturday that he would try to imprison anyone who engages in "unscrupulous behavior" during this year's race.

New York Times wrote 3562 articles about Clinton’s emails in 2015-16

If someone had actually shot at Trump:

1. He would sue that family. 

2. He would sue the Secret Service. 

3. He would tweet about it every day.

4. It would be in his stump speech. 

5. He would blame Biden. 

6. He would blame Hunter Biden and Hillary.

Southern California’s border-adjacent communities are pushing for emergency assistance from regional and state agencies as they contend with a cross-border sewage crisis that is poisoning the air they breathe.
