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.

I’ve updated the comments for this article.
Kamala Harris claims fact checked. Her lies exposed.
The BBC did a fact check on what Harris has been saying. And of course, her lies were sugar coated, but you can see that she wasn’t being truthful.
CLAIM: “Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare.”
VERDICT: This is misleading. In this campaign, Mr. Trump has said repeatedly he would not do this.
“I will not cut 1 cent from Social Security or Medicare,” Mr. Trump said at a rally on 5 August.
And in his 20 point policy platform, one of the pledges is: “Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts.”
CLAIM: “Inflation is down under 3%.”
VERDICT: That figure is correct, but some context is needed here. Inflation is down from a peak of 9.1% under the Biden administration and it is higher than when Mr. Trump left office.
When President Biden took office in January 2021, inflation was 1.4% but it rose significantly during the first two years of his administration. While the Biden administration had limited control over these external factors, some economists say that their 2021 American Rescue Plan, worth $1.9tn (£1.5tn), also contributed to rising prices.

Short and Sweet. Winning. Official Olympics YouTube Account Deletes Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony Video.
Does my heart good to see that the drags won’t get worldwide exposure when folks look at the official You Tube video.
Metro UK reports that the Paris 2024 Olympic Games kicked off with a grand opening ceremony along the River Seine on Friday, showcasing a blend of French culture, artistry, and athleticism. However, the event has sparked controversy for its bizarre imagery mocking Christians. As controvery began to rage, the video of the opening ceremonies was deleted from the Olympics YouTube channel.
Despite the controversy, some elements of the ceremony received praise. The performance by Gojira, who delivered a metal version of “Ah! Ça Ira” alongside opera singer Marina Viotti, was particularly well-received. The band later shared their excitement on Instagram, calling it a “once in a lifetime experience.”

This deeply concerning slide from an anti-terrorism brief was first exposed by citizen journalist Sam Shoemate, or @samour, on X.
“An anti-terrorism brief was held on Fort Liberty (Bragg) today where they listed several Pro-Life organizations as “terrorist organizations.” The slide you see here followed right after a slide about ISIS, a terror group in the Middle East,” Shoemate wrote on X.
The presentation slide, which has since circulated widely on social media, lists these pro-life organizations that oppose “Roe[sic] v. Wade” under a headline reading “TERRORIST GROUPS.”
The Biden regime’s Defense Department has taken an unprecedented step by categorizing pro-life organizations as “terrorist organizations” during an anti-terrorism briefing held at Fort Liberty’s Directorate of Emergency Services, formerly known as Fort Bragg, on Wednesday.

Not only Biden’s Defense Department but Biden’s FBI has also singled out traditional Catholics with pro-life, pro-family views as potential domestic terrorists.
As The Gateway Pundit reported in April 2023, Chris Wray’s FBI was infiltrating Catholic parishes.
The FBI agents are engaging in outreach to Catholic leaders to spy on Americans practicing their Christian faith.
This was a shocking revelation. Americans already knew the FBI-DOJ was targeting traditional Catholics from earlier reporting. We also have evidence they are infiltrating Catholic parishes.

Protecting Yourself from a Bully with a Badge (When You’ve Done Nothing Wrong.) Part 2
The main focus of this episode happened in my home state, on a road that I regularly traveled: US Route 23, on Independence Day 2023
While the main idiot here is the cop, we see at the 1:02 mark an OHP (Ohio Highway Patrol – aka State police) officer exiting his vehicle WITH AN “ASSAULT RIFLE” TRAINED ON THE TRUCK — over a mud flap! I would also pull away if I saw an ASSAULT RIFLE aimed at me for no apparent reason! Note this officer copsplained his reason for doing that the truck driver had made “direct eye contact” with the officer signaling him to pull over — something that is physically impossible given the Patrolman was in his car while the Driver was in the cab of his truck. PRIMA FACIE, there is physically NO WAY this could occur given the difference in heights of the car and the cab of the truck, So this right off was a bad call.
Getting to the meat of this video:
From about 4:16 OHP radio:”Circleville PD has a dog” 4:19(OHP):“That’s a dog. Come to me!” “You don’t want bit!”
4:25 Circleville COP:“Get on the ground, or you’re gonna get bit!”
Here, we can see two conflicting orders: Come to me (OHP) and Get on the ground, or you’re going to get bit! (Circleville cop)
From this point on OHP repeatedly tells the cop not to release the dog, which the cop ignores. The cop runs towards the trucker who is clearly seen to have his hands in the air. At about the 4:43 mark the cop RELEASED the dog, who runs away from the trucker towards the OHP officers.
At 4:45 the Cop ORDERS THE DOG TO ATTACK! Against a man ON HIS KNEES ALREADY!! The dog attacks for at least 10-12 seconds before he is finally made to stop.
This cop was eventually fired, but not for siccing his dog on the helpless trucker, but for lying during the investigation!!
What is truly unbelievable is that THE COURTS said he was wrongfully terminated, turned his firing into a ‘resignation,’ fixed his record so he could go work for another police department, and allowed him to “adopt” the dog he used as a deadly weapon for $1!
Comments on the video:
@chitownracing
Even the dog knew he wasn’t a threat, he ran right past him.
@alixena9340
Exactly. The dog is trained to detect the person that is the threat and deal with them. The dog does not have to be told any history. That dog determined that the dude was not a threat and so went looking elsewhere for the actual threat.
@RumbelinGrumbelin
“Come to me!” “Get on the ground”
Good lord, I swear they create situations like this on purpose so they can escalate force
@mangoismangois1672
They just proved this man’s fear of police very right
@budc.8172
Sounds like this mans fear of stopping was COMPLETLY justified.
@boanoah6362
“I told him if he doesn’t get on the ground he’s going to get the dog.”
Says the officer who ordered his dog to attack the suspect WHILE HE WAS ON THE GROUND SURRENDERING! The fact this cop didn’t get prison time for an actual literal war crime is deeply upsetting.
@Ott3rKing
The fact that the highway patrol were telling them to not release the dog and that one trooper was walking away covering her face tells you everything you need to know about how bad this situation is.
Here, it isn’t merely an ego-tripping corrupt cop, but a corrupt judge, a trooper lying about the initial contact, and the other State troopers doing the bare minimum for the Trucker.
From the open road to a person’s house:
This one shows the victim was killed in her own house by a cop that went lurking around her house without identifying himself and fired off his gun less than 2 seconds after the victim looked out her window to see what/who was making the noise in her back yard:
The red flags were there, but the PD ignored them and ignored their own psychologist’s warning that the man was a narcissist and lacked the temperament needed for the job.
And police wonder why they aren’t trusted?

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. Males are accused of “Toxic Masculinity.” Of trying to control women via “the patriarchy.” And — whether white or not — enjoying their “White Privilege” to oppress others. But they should treat gold-digging, entitled little princesses like royalty and cater to their every whim.
Seriously, why would any self-respecting, sane woman want to “identify” as a man?
Similarly, why would a self-respecting man want to “identify” as a woman? Is it because he’s a wimp who can’t succeed against other men?
It started when over-the-hill Bobby Riggs started challenging women tennis pros to best of 3 tennis matches. Billy Jean King, who was a bit over half his age at the time, shellacked the peacock 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.
Then we have “Renee” Richards (born Richard Raskind) who, after playing tennis for years, opted to mutilate hirself so “she” could play against women.
And let’s not forget “Lia” Thomas, who went from being ranked below the 400 mark as a MALE swimmer, suddenly vaulted to #1 as a WOMAN(!) swimmer. Sorry, at 6’4″ and packing a sausage between your legs, you are not female, and should not be competing against actual biological women.
If you want to diddle someone of your own sex, go ahead — in private. Dress how you want to, but don’t get upset if someone “mis-genders” you because you look like you’re cosplaying.
I do really wonder why all these crazy people are wandering around feeling entitled to insult and harass people who would happily mind their own business if these nut cases would just leave everyone else alone! Note that Karens/Kevins suffer from similar mental disorders of entitled-ness and delusions.
Seriously, who in their right mind would show signs saying “Queers for Hamas” when they would be killed on sight (if they were lucky) or tortured, killed, and paraded around like a hunting trophy while they spit the corpse (if not)—if actually living in Gaza.
Ah yes, the question again answers itself.
I have one rule in dealing with people: you respect me and my friends, and I’ll respect you. Disrespect me, and I’ll give you a chance to apologize; if you insist on continuing, there will be trouble.
Oh yes, that 1.72% with abnormal chromosomes? They are biologically male.

Columnist Enraged that Caitlin Clark Is Getting a Shoe Deal Instead of Black WNBA Players. I’ve never watched more than five minutes of a WNBA game because it looked like a bunch of hormone drug addicts out there. I saw maybe three or four games.
Caitlin Clark will add pure excitement to a boring girls game that might draw 10,000 tops. Some teams averaged less than 5,000. Who wants to watch a bunch of men wanna Be’s?
Now we see where a so called journalist is upset that Clark may get a great shoe endorsement. “If she does,” Freeman writes of Clark’s pending shoe deal, “Clark would join only three other WNBA players with signature shoes: Breanna Stewart, Elena Delle Donne, and Sabrina Ionescu. You may notice a pattern there.”
It’s all because of racism, Freeman exclaims.
“What so much of this comes down to is a lack of respect for the Black women of the WNBA. A lack of respect for Black Americans overall isn’t something new to the marketing world. This is old hat. That doesn’t change the ugliness of it,” he claimed.

No Virginia, MSNBC is not a News Channel. There’s a misconception that MSNBC is a News Channel. That’s crazy. Nothing but NBC News rejects and dregs of Society.
This latest fiasco has the big wigs at NBC throwing each other under the bus with the Ronna incident. Even the AA person who was reported to be a supporter of hiring Ronna has back tracked.
We’re told Jones was sending individual texts and making phone calls to her talent in an effort to distance herself from the hire after the backlash.
