Election Interference? You be the judge.
Amazon insists that its Alexa voice-enabled assistant does not have any political opinions — and that Alexa’s responses explaining why someone should vote for VP Kamala Harris while refusing to answer the same question about Donald Trump was a mistake.
“If this is real, this is wild. Amazon’s Alexa is a politically biased hack,” conservative commentator Charlie Kirk wrote in response to a video of someone testing out their Alexa.
Fact checking the final day of racism, bigotry, and hate speech.
After watching the adults and hearing uplifting speeches and human event stories in Milwaukee, the children in Chicago were something else. All that screaming and yelling was typical for children, but seeing so called grownups doing it was both funny and sad.
So, let’s do some fact checking and see what they got wrong. Now I’ve been using left wing media because even they spotted out the lies. What’s that tell you when MSM calls you a liar?
Vice President Kamala Harris: “[Trump] intends to enact what in effect is a national sales tax, call it a Trump tax, that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year.”
Details: Harris is citing an estimate of potential costs if former President Donald Trump were to implement tariffs on imported goods. Trump has advocated for a tariff of at least 10% on most imports and a tariff of at least 60% on Chinese imports. No mention of the national sales tax the Biden Harris administration put in place.
Misleading.
Trump has proposed broad-based tax cuts during his presidential campaign, to high earners and other taxpayers.
Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 that permanently cut corporate tax rates and lowered individual tax rates for most households.
Estimates from the nonpartisan congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and the Tax Policy Center found that the majority of people would benefit from these tax cuts.
Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania: “When Big Pharma jacked up the cost of insulin, we passed a bill to stop them. Now, for millions of Americans, it’s capped at $35 a month.”
Previously, the Trump administration introduced a more limited voluntary program that allowed some Medicare Part D plans to cap out-of-pocket costs for certain insulin products at $35 per month. There were over 800,000 insulin users who had access to the $35 insulin cap under the Trump-era program.
Kamala Harris mentioned the Supreme Court’s July decision on presidential immunity while warning about the “consequences” of giving former President Donald Trump another term.
“Consider the power he will have – especially after the United States Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution,” Harris said. “Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails.”
Facts First: The Supreme Court ruling last month did not grant Trump or former presidents in general total immunity from criminal prosecution, though it did grant them immunity for many of their activities in office.
Harris said that if Trump were to become president again, he and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion; enact a nationwide abortion ban; force states to report on women’s miscarriages and abortions “with or without Congress”; and create a national anti-abortion coordinator. “Simply put,” she said, “they are out of their minds.”
Facts First: Harris is making a prediction that we cannot definitively fact check, but Trump himself has not, during this campaign, endorsed these policies she said he would implement as president.
Harris on Thursday said Trump fights for the wealthy, not the middle class.
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, one of Trump’s key achievements in office, reduced taxes for most people. 65% went to those making less than $400,000. Biden Harris always mention.
Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey highlighted Harris’ recently announced plan to put in place anti-price gouging laws in an effort to lower the cost of food, saying Thursday at the Democratic National Convention, “Prices are up because these corporations are scheming to drive them up.”
Research published by the San Francisco Fed earlier this year reached a conclusion: that alleged corporate price gouging was not a primary catalyst for the inflation surge that occurred in 2021 and 2022.
Ultimately, the inflation Americans have had to contend with over the past few years is the product of a confluence of events, including the war in Ukraine, government spending and pandemic-related disruptions across the economy.
Harris: Trump “plans to create a national anti-abortion coordinator and force states to report on women’s miscarriages and abortions.”
Mostly False.
What Harris describes is Project 2025. Although the 900-page policy manual makes such recommendations, it isn’t Trump’s plan.
Harris: “As a part of his agenda, he and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion and enact a nationwide abortion ban, with or without Congress.”
Harris’ predictive, multipart claim exaggerates Trump’s abortion agenda by tying him to Project 2025 “allies” and misleading about some of the document’s scope.
• Birth control: After a May interview in which he said he was “looking at” birth control restrictions, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “I have never and will never advocate for imposing restrictions on birth control.” Medication abortion: Trump is on record against Project 2025’s position on this issue.
Enact a nationwide abortion ban, with or without Congress: Trump said this year he would not sign a national ban, even though he endorsed a 20-week cutoff as president. Since April, Trump has said abortion should be left to the states.
Harris: “I … helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind in the nation.”
As California’s attorney general, Harris was part of a multistate settlement that won debt relief for homeowners affected by the 2007-10 housing crisis. She initially withdrew from settlement talks in 2011.
A bonus feature from day 3.
Israelis Brace for Potential Attack by Biden-Harris ally. Progressive leaning Iran.
Make no mistake. The present administration removed sanctions on Iran thinking that Iran would be forever grateful. So what did removing those sanctions get us in return?
Terrorists armed with drones, misles, and who knows what else. So where are we now with Iran? Oh and Iran continues to process Uranium to create a nuclear weapon.
The Jerusalem Post reported speculation that Iran would attack on the Jewish holiday of Tisha B’Av, the Ninth of Av, a day of mourning on which the destruction of the First and Second Temples is commemorated by fasting:
Western intelligence sources told Sky News Arabia that they had evidence Iran plans to attack Israel on Tisha B’Av in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which begins on August 12 and ends on August 13, the site reported on Friday.
…
The report indicates that there is an emotional and psychological impact in targeting Israel on the holy day of mourning.
The report claimed that Jewish Israelis may feel particularly vulnerable on this day – adding an additional layer of psychological torment.
Can you really protect yourself 100% against an enemie who’s goal is to end your very existance? Rumors flew of potential Iranian plans — including a missile strike several times larger than the 300 projectiles launched at Israel in April, almost all of which were intercepted.
Some say Trump will purge DOJ and FBI. I say prosecute top brass in FBI and DOJ. We have seen weaponization of several government agencies and yes it goes back to the Obama years.
Now those same folks are upset that there just may be a payback. Former President Donald Trump will purge the administrative state by firing career bureaucrats from the DOJ and the FBI if he wins reelection.
The difference is that the Trump administration will use actual laws and not hide information from the public the way the Biden justice department has done.
Biden defends Hamas ally. Suspends arms shipment to Israel. Yes the shipments that were already approved by Congress. Biden put a stop to for now. I guess he’s waiting for another October 7.
The U.S. reportedly put a hold last week on a weapons shipment to Israel ― a stunning diplomatic shift as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to go against the Biden administration’s warnings and move forward with a military invasion of the Gazan city of Rafah
How much longer can Biden sit on the fence? Wanting it both ways when it comes to Israel, Hamas, and the college protestors. When it comes to the pro Hamas protests, Biden says how terrible the protestors Anti – Semitism is, but we don’t see any federal charges on hate crimes or speech.
Biden claims he supports Israel against Hamas, but when he posts numbers on war casualties, he uses Hamas information. He asks Israel to cease fire, but not Hamas. He threatens Israel with sanctions, but continues to feed Hamas.
Someone finally making sense. Cease-Fire in Ukraine-Russia War. We keep on hearing from Progressives about a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and their allies, but noting about Russia and Ukraine until now.
France wants Russia to observe a cease-fire in Ukraine during this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with Ukrainian television on Saturday.
“This is a message of peace,” Macron said, before a voiceover interpreter quoted the French president as saying that France is doing so in line with the spirit of the Olympic movement.
CBS claims that Strike Targets Likely Dodged Strikes Because Biden Telegraphed Strikes, That Was ‘Intentional’. This is not some Conservative group saying this but none other than CBS News.
CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin stated that because the Biden administration “has done such a job of telegraphing this strike” it’s likely that “all” of the people the U.S. was looking to hit have hidden from the strikes and “we’re not probably going to get the individuals this time,” and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent and “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan reported, “a lot of those IRGC Quds Force trainers have left Iraq and Syria knowing this was coming, and that is also intentional by the United States.”
The U.S. has not assessed that Tehran directed this attack. But President Biden did say he holds Iran responsible for providing the weapons and the assistance to the militias that did. So, they are drawing a distinction there, and part of this attempt is to avoid a direct conflict with the State of Iran, instead taking on these proxy forces.”
Iranian back group of Progressive Terrorists kill 3 American Soldiers.
Three American troops were killed and dozens more were injured in an overnight drone strike in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border. Biden was not to be disturbed and was notified the next morning.
While this Administration is trying to figure out what to do, the Terrorists are leaving their base of operations. Thanks Joe Biden. Iran-backed fighters in east Syria began evacuating their posts, fearing U.S. airstrikes, according to Omar Abu Layla, a Europe-based activist who heads the Deir Ezzor 24 media outlet. He told The Associated Press that the areas are the strongholds of Mayadeen and Boukamal.
Weaponization of Government. New series.
By MC.
I’ll be starting a new series on how Government is using its powers (Sometimes unconstitutionally and possibly illegally). Some of the articles will be in my own words (with sources) and some will be the reposting of articles from others.
I’ll be looking at local, state, and federal. Also, I’ll be looking at the educational system. Hopefully you will be shocked that this is going on. So, let’s see where this takes us.
If you have some ideas or have stories of weaponization, please feel free to comment or send me a link.
