Presidential Debate: 3 Against 1 – Majority Loses

The Presidential debate was the elite left versus Donald trump in a nutshell. The pile on was relentless but Trump was fierce.

WATCH: Trump’s closing statement is one of the GREATEST in history.

WATCH: Megyn Kelly moderators at ABC News are “full of sh*t” and “they’re trying to steal an election.”

3 v. 1: Moderators Team with Harris to Debate Trump

Breitbart, September 10, 2024:

It’s hard to see how this debate changes anything in the trajectory of the race. Trump is on the upswing, Harris is fading, and it does not appear that this debate changes anything.

The panel on ABC News afterwards is claiming that Trump was “rattled” and that the Harris campaign feels good after the debate, but again–it was not the slam dunk performance she needed.

Kamala repeatedly lied throughout the debate, including claiming she would not ban guns:

UPDATE 10:45 p.m. ET:

The debate has ended and the candidates are walking off stage without shaking hands.

UPDATE 10:44 p.m. ET:

Trump questions why she has not done the things she says she will do already since she has been in office for several years.

UPDATE 10:42 p.m. ET:

Harris cites her history as a prosecutor and says “I’ve only ever had one client: the people.”

Now, Trump is up.

UPDATE 10:41 p.m. ET:

Harris is delivering her closing statement in which she repeats the catch phrase “we’re not going back,” and claims there are two “very different” visions for the country offered by the candidates this evening.

UPDATE 10:40 p.m. ET:

Team Trump is declaring a clear victory:

UPDATE 10:38 p.m. ET:

The debate is entering the second commercial break, and then returning with closing statements.

UPDATE 10:30 p.m. ET:

Harris claims she is a gun owner.

UPDATE 10:25 p.m. ET:

“She is Biden,” Trump said.

“Clearly I am not Joe Biden,” Harris replied.

UPDATE 10:22 p.m. ET:

Muir next presses Trump on his recent comments that Harris “became black,” asking him what race Harris is. Trump said he did not care.

UPDATE 10:20 p.m. ET:

The gall of Harris to blame Trump for Biden’s and her failures in Afghanistan is pretty incredible. She is definitely not doing herself any favors in so doing this.

In response, Trump lays out how the deal he negotiated with the Taliban stopped all killings of American soldiers for 18 months but then laid out how he would have gotten out of Afghanistan without seeing Americans killed and without leaving tens of billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment behind.

UPDAYE 10:18 p.m. ET:

The conversation now turns to Afghanistan, and Muir asks Harris if she bears “any responsibility” for what happened in the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan. Harris dodged the question, and then started attacking Trump claiming the deal Trump negotiated to end the war in Afghanistan was “weak.”

UPDATE 10:15 p.m. ET:

Trump tells Kamala “quiet please” while he is explaining that Putin has nuclear weapons. “They sent her to negotiate peace three days before this war started,” Trump said of Harris, arguing she failed as a negotiator.

“She’s worse than Biden,” Trump says, “she goes down as the worst vice president in the history of this country.”

UPDATE 10:11 p.m. ET:

Coming back from the first commercial break, Muir turns to Trump and asks him how he would end the war in Ukraine and whether he wants Ukraine to win the war. Trump said he wants to end the war, and he noted how the U.S. has put hundreds of billions of tax dollars into the war and he called out Harris for failing to get Europe to pay its fair share. He noted how Putin and Zelensky do not respect Biden, and he warns that this could “lead to World War 3” and that President Biden is missing in action and he was thrown aside “like a dog.”

UPDATE 10:02 p.m. ET:

Trump says Kamala “hates Israel,” something Harris denies. Trump also says he would end the war in Ukraine before he even takes office. Then Harris claims Trump said Putin “can do whatever the hell he wants and go into Ukraine,” even though Putin did so when Harris was leading the country as Vice President.

UPDATE 9:57 p.m. ET:

The discussion has moved backward to the 2020 election, and now Harris is claiming that Trump was “fired by 81 million Americans”–the vote total for Biden in 2020–four years ago. Harris then claims world leaders are “laughing at” Trump, but then Trump cites several world leaders back at Harris including particularly Viktor Orban of Hungary.

Trump then bashes Harris for getting zero votes but taking the nomination away from Biden, who got 14 million votes. “I’ll let you in on a little secret,” Trump says. “He [Biden] hates her [Harris].”

UPDATE 9:50 p.m. ET:

There is another emerging theme here where the moderators keep “fact-checking” Trump–sometimes accurately, sometimes not–live during the debate, but allowing Harris to openly and repeatedly lie nonstop from the stage. Harris continues making ugly frowning faces.

UPDATE 9:48 p.m. ET:

Now, the moderators shift the conversation to January 6 and keep pushing Trump on it, but Trump asks why the radical leftists who engaged in riots have not been prosecuted. In her response, Harris touts the Charlottesville Hoax, which has been thoroughly debunked.

UPDATE 9:44 p.m. ET:

Kamala falsely claims she never said she would ban fracking–she is quite clearly on camera saying she would do so. Trump hammers her on this, and on defunding police.

Then, there’s a moment where Trump says to Harris as she’s making funny faces at him–“I’m talking now–sound familiar?”–emulating her line from a previous debate. He pauses then stares back at her. Harris continues to make odd faces back at Trump.

UPDATE 9:40 p.m. ET:

Harris keeps making nasty faces at Trump, trying quite clearly to goad him and get under his skin.

Trump says he “took a bullet to the head” because of the narratives pushed by Harris’s government’s weaponization against him.

UPDATE 9:31 p.m. ET:

Trump says that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating people’s pets, and Muir fires back at Trump quoting the city manager saying there are no credible reports of that. Harris in response has a shrill laugh, and then starts quoting establishment Republicans who are working to elect her.

UPDATE 9:29 p.m. ET:

Harris invites Americans to go to Trump rallies, arguing that people leave Trump’s rallies early. Trump responds by arguing that Harris’s rallies are small and that Harris is paying people to be there.

UPDATE 9:25 p.m. ET:

Trump is now fighting back, live fact-checking Harris on IVF and then he asks Harris directly if she would allow abortion in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy–or even afterwards–and she refuses to say she would not.

UPDATE 9:22 p.m. ET:

Trump is holding his own and he’s ripping Harris for lying. Harris is making frowning faces off the side of the camera, coming off childish.

UPDATE 9:21 p.m. ET:

Davis is now commentating instead of moderating, making commentary about Trump’s answer where she says there is no state in the union where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born. But, Davis’s snide remark–which helped set Harris up for a snide remark of her own about Trump telling “lies”–ignores the fact that several Democrats including the Democrat former governor of Virginia Ralph Northam have openly said they want infanticide.

UPDATE 9:18 p.m. ET:

Kamala is not coming across as presidential. She seems like she’s trying to troll Trump, and Trump’s not taking the bait. He’s calm and confident, but not low-energy. Trump’s in-depth policy answers are a stark contrast to Harris’s angry and odd faces she’s making on the other side of the screen.

“She’s a Marxist,” Trump hit her at one point, something Harris did not deny.

Now, the conversation is on abortion, and Trump is laying out how Democrats are the radicals on this issue and Trump is trying to unite the country.

UPDATE 9:13 p.m. ET:

An early theme is emerging here–Harris has very little substance in her commentary throughout the debate, but seems to be trying to goad Trump by attacking him. Trump is holding his own explaining policy while Harris fires off catchy sound bites.

UPDATE 9:12 p.m. ET:

“That’s just a sound bite,” Trump viciously fires back at Harris’s critiques. Then he rips her for plagiarizing Biden’s website in her very thin policy page on her own website.

UPDATE 9:11 p.m. ET:

Trump is now explaining how the migrants that Harris let into the country are “dangerous,” and then the moderators come back to Harris to respond on the economy. She claims “Trump left us” the worst unemployment ever.

Harris then launches into a diatribe about “name-calling” that she claims Trump will engage in, then falsely says Trump wants Project 2025. Trump in his rebuttal corrects her lie again, saying he has “nothing to do” with Project 2025. Trump then explains how the economy was incredible until COVID hit the country, and then explains how he got the country through the pandemic and then the Biden-Harris administration did not actually create jobs but only got “bounce back jobs” post-COVID.

Harris then in her rebuttal says “Donald Trump has no plan for you,” and then proceeds to attack Trump’s economic plans.

UPDATE 9:06 p.m. ET:

Trump in his response corrects Harris’s false claims about his tax plans, and then explains how tariffs work and do not cause inflation. Trump then explains how inflation is ripping the country apart economically. Harris is sitting there shaking her head as Trump lays out how the economy under her administration has been a disaster.

UPDATE 9:05 p.m. ET:

Muir asks Harris the first question, which is whether people are better off today than they were four years ago economically. Harris immediately begins dodging and claiming falsely she was raised in the middle class. She does not answer the question about whether people are better off at all.

UPDATE 9:03 p.m. ET:

Muir and Davis are introducing the rules, and the candidates are coming out on stage. Trump won the coin toss and will deliver the final closing statement. Harris comes right up to Trump and shakes his hand.

UPDATE 9:01 p.m. ET:

The debate is beginning now as Muir and Davis introduce the program and begin with a video introduction of the candidates.
UPDATE 8:55 p.m. ET:

Kamala’s mini-podium is becoming a major thing people are noticing:

NEW: Kamala Harris will have a miniature podium during tonight’s debate on ABC against Donald Trump.

The move was requested by Harris’ team who is afraid she will look tiny compared to Trump.

The smaller podium will make it so the candidates look the same size during the… pic.twitter.com/f1BOxoVPeC

‘Cleaning Up Kamala’ | TRAILER OUT NOW

A couple months ago, Kamala Harris was the worst VP in American history. Now, she’s heralded as the Savior of the Republic.

Suffering from whiplash? We are too. That’s why we set out to expose how this inexplicable 180 happened.

The Daily Caller’s new documentary, “Cleaning Up Kamala,” shows that one doesn’t just become a warm, joyful “Momala” overnight. It takes a whole billion-dollar media effort.

“Cleaning Up Kamala” debuts Sept 13. and is available exclusively for Patriots subscribers. Catch a first glimpse below.

First, the Daily Caller uncovered the true cost of the Defund the Police movement in “Lawless.”  Then “Rigged” exposed the issue Democrats fear most: how their political machine managed to secure Joe Biden the presidency in 2020. Now, with “Cleaning Up Kamala,” we take on a corrupt corporate media establishment that built a new presidential candidate, their candidate, out of whole cloth.

Harris was nobody’s first choice. Voters resoundingly rejected her in the 2020 primaries. Joe Biden chose her as VP to check an identity box, but she proved more incompetent than anyone could have imagine. A revolving door of staffers found it unbearable to work with her. She failed miserably as the border czar and her cackle made everyone uncomfortable. Unsurprisingly, her approval rating stood deep underwater — until she was made into the new Queen of the Democratic Party.

With hilarious clips and insightful interviews, “Cleaning Up Kamala” shows how the media turned this trainwreck into a tulip.

The Daily Caller’s documentary productions are made possible by our faithful Patriots members, and we wouldn’t be able to do it without them. To watch “Cleaning Up Kamala” on Sept. 13, and to help support future investigative documentaries, please consider subscribing.

‘Putting In The Work’: Republicans View JD Vance As Invaluable Asset As Campaign Enters Home Stretch

Republicans believe former President Donald Trump made the right choice in picking Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance to be his running mate as the campaign enters the fourth quarter of the election season.

Through the final weeks of August, Vance has spent his time on the campaign trail, sparring with hostile media and drawing contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris as she dodges the media. Prior though, Vance was fighting a barrage of Democratic attacks that branded him as “weird” for past statements.

Republicans and campaign officials expressed satisfaction with Vance’s performance in conversations with the Daily Caller.

“J.D. Vance is doing what Vice President picks are supposed to do, which is aggressively make the case in the Earned Media, which is the press, the entire political world is saying, not Where’s Waldo, but where’s Walz. He’s not out there making the case in the press the way VP candidates are expected to do,” GOP strategist Mark R. Weaver told the Daily Caller.

After Trump chose Vance as his running mate, Democrats unearthed comments from a Fox News interview and a July 2021 speech about “childless cat ladies” and women who didn’t have children. Vance faced many questions about the comments, including in interviews with NBC and CNN.

Democrats used the comments alongside debunked rumors to brand Vance as “weird” — a line of attack CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said was hurting the vice presidential candidate’s favorability.

Amidst the rocky start, Trump downplayed the importance of the vice president — a comment that pundits and social media users believed indicated je wasn’t thrilled with his pick.

“Of course he is. I wouldn’t have chosen him for my ticket if I wasn’t certain he could assume the presidency in the event of a crisis,” Trump began.

“Historically, the vice president, in terms of the election, does not have any impact,” he continued. “I mean, virtually no impact.”

But since Vance’s battle with hostile media, Shermichael Singleton told the Daily Caller that the senator has found his footing.

“People forget this, J.D. Vance has only recently been elected to the United States Senate. This is not someone with multiple terms of political experience. And I don’t say that as a negative. I said that to say that a lot of people were saying, well, he’s floundering here, or he should be doing this, or he’s not doing that, or some of the comments, etc, you have to give someone an opportunity to kind of warm up to this,” Singleton, a GOP strategist, told the Caller.

But it wasn’t long before Vance hit a turning point when he used a question about his past comments to pivot to attack Harris.

“You’ve now asked me three questions about comments that I made three years ago,” Vance said. “I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she supported policies that open the American Southern border. I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about Joe Biden’s mental faculty for the office.”

“I’m interviewing you,” Bash replied. “Not Kamala Harris.”

“You are interviewing me, Dana, because I respect the American people enough to sit down for an interview,” Vance quipped. “Kamala Harris has been the nominee for three weeks. She hasn’t sat down for a real interview.”

“I sort of always expected that the guy would eventually get into the zone, and he’s found his footing, and he appears to be more confident and more comfortable. I think one thing I would like to see more of as he has been making the case on the issues, which I think is strong,” Singleton told the Caller.

One week before, Vance had wooed Republicans after landing in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, just after Harris arrived on Air Force Two. The senator walked across the tarmac to the vice presidential plane where he spoke to reporters that Harris had ignored just moments before.

Vance used the moment to highlight how Harris was yet to do a sit-down interview, give a press conference or meaningfully interact with reporters.

“J.D. Vance is fearless and he clearly gets the better of his exchanges with the media, because they come at him aggressively and he knocks down their attacks with precision,” Tim Murtaugh, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told the Caller.  “He’s a great asset to the campaign and to President Trump. That’s exactly why the Democrats tried — and failed — to damage him with outrageous lies, because he’s so effective.”

Vance, the campaign officials told the Caller, draws stark contrast to Harris’ chosen running mate, Gov. Tim Walz.

Since joining Harris on the Democratic ticket, Walz has been caught in several lies, including some about his service record.

Walz’s military story unraveled after the Harris campaign itself unearthed a 2018 video of the governor pushing for gun control, saying that “those weapons of war, that I carried in war” should stay only in combat. Social media users were quick to point out that there was a problem with Walz’s statement — he never saw war.

Veterans part of Walz’s unit during his time in service had previously accused him in 2018 of retiring from the Guard to run for Congress once it was revealed that he would be deployed to Iraq. Vance has used the lie to hit Walz before he meets him on the debate stage, questioning why Americans should trust a guy who lied about his military record.

Walz also recently became the subject of a Congressional investigation into his ties to China. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting all documents relating to any Chinese entities that the now-governor may have interacted with while on his dozens of trips to China.

“J.D. Vance has proven to be a great asset to President Trump’s campaign,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump national press secretary, told the Caller.

“J.D. is authentic, relatable and unafraid to debate the issues as evidenced by his frequent sit-down interviews with hostile press. Meanwhile, Tampon Tim Walz is a radical liberal who lacks credibility and has turned out to be a huge liability for the Harris campaign as more and more of his egregious lies have come to light,” she continued.

Other Vance quips have gained traction in recent weeks as Harris and Walz have been repeatedly pushed to engage with the media and answer questions about policy.

During a recent rally, an audience member asked the potential vice president where his teleprompter was.

“Ma’am, I don’t need a teleprompter. I’ve actually got thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris,” Vance replied.

Vance took another swipe at Harris after liberal media outlets criticized Trump for a wreath-laying ceremony honoring the 13 service members killed in the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, as a politicized event. Harris and President Joe Biden put out statements honoring the fallen soldiers, but neither had any public events scheduled to recognize the Gold Star families.

“Kamala Harris is disgraceful,” Vance said of Harris’s lack of recognition for the families. “We’re going to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent Americans who lost their lives, it’s that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won’t even do an investigation into what happened, and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up. She can go to hell.”

Two months out from election day, Republicans have found Vance to be the perfect match for Trump on the campaign trail.

“Senator Vance is a natural complement to President Trump, and his American Dream story is resonating well with voters in the Rust Belt who feel left behind by the Biden-Harris administration,” Trump surrogate Harrison Fields told the Caller.

The Knife Did It!

Germany Chancellor Olof Scholz is calling for greater “knife control.”

That’s right. When a Syrian Muslim illegal migrant slashed the throats of several middle aged Germans at a “diversity festival” recently, it was the fault of the knife, not the Muslim.

We’ve seen this movie before.

Now the German government wants to ban German citizens — who, let’s remember, weren’t the ones on a slashing spree — from carrying knives over 2.4 inches long. That’s down from the current ban on knives over 4.5 inches.

I wonder, will the German police start frisking German citizens to test the size of their concealed knives? What other concealed parts will they also begin to measure?

I can just about guarantee you that they won’t be measuring those Muslim “migrants” for anything, let alone the size of their Korans. That would be racist and discriminatory.

Instead, let’s have more “knife control.”

Perhaps the Chancellor should leave his kitchen knives lined up outside his bedroom door to see what crimes they will commit overnight? (But perhaps he doesn’t dare to….)

Also this week, Pope Francis called on governments around the world to welcome migrants, because it was the right thing to do. I guess he failed to consult with Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, who as president of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State, actually runs the Vatican and has authority over its immigration laws.

There are currently 618 citizens of the Vatican, and a total of 764 residents. To protect them, Cardinal Alzaga retains 104 Swiss Guards, and another 130 gendarmes tasked with ensuring “internal security.”

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying the Pope shouldn’t be protected better than former president Donald Trump. But I don’t want to live in a country where every third person is an armed agent of the government.

Even the family members of the Vatican’s Mercenary Army don’t get to keep their citizenship forever. Once their children turn 18, they become stateless.

How’s that for Christian charity?

You’ll be relieved to note that another week has gone by without a major regional war in the Middle East, just your average bombings and missile strikes and Israeli raids to catch terrorists plotting to kill Jews. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency tells us that the Iranian regime continues to enrich uranium to 60%, which is essentially weapons-grade.

I’m sure you will be especially relieved to learn that Kamala Harris’s presumed Secretary of State nominee, Philip Gordon, helped negotiate the failed 2015 Iran nuclear deal and has co-authored opeds with members of the pro-Tehran lobby in Washington, DC. More about that in my upcoming book, The Iran House.

But hey, no one cares until Labor Day, right?

Until then, I remain yours in freedom,

Harris Hiding from Far-Left Record by Plundering Trump Policies

Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to be unburdened by what has been — namely her far-left political record — by adopting MAGA policies. The latest instance of flip-flopping is Harris’s support for the border wall proposed by former President Donald Trump. According to Axios, the vice president is now pledging to spend an estimated $650 million to complete the border wall Trump started, despite having called the initiative “racist” and “un-American” during Trump’s White House tenure. Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Trump’s running mate, commented, “Kamala Harris is a fake. If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now!”

In recent weeks, Harris has adopted a “tough” persona regarding border security, with immigration consistently ranking as one of the top two most pressing issues for voters ahead of November’s election. In fact, Harris’s latest campaign ad features images of the border wall while touting the Democrat’s past role as a “border-state prosecutor.” The ad claimed that Harris, if elected, would “hire thousands more border agents” and “crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.” The ad concluded, “Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris.”

Yet the incumbent Biden-Harris administration is responsible for at least 10 million illegal immigrants crossing the southern border since taking office in January of 2021, including “at least 99” illegal immigrants on the U.S. terror watchlist, according to a congressional report released earlier this month.

“Americans are used to presidential candidates flip-flopping on unpopular positions they’ve taken in the past, that’s nothing new. But, the outright copying of major pieces of an opponent’s policy agenda in the middle of an election less than 70 days from election day certainly is unprecedented,” said FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter in comments to The Washington Stand. “I think it exposes the Harris-Walz campaign as being fundamentally insecure about the policies they’re offering the American people,” he added.

“This is further evidenced by the fact that their own campaign website is a policy desert, they have no policies listed on their campaign website, and they have only just recently announced the first sit down interview with their candidate on a major news outlet since becoming the presumptive nominee,” Carpenter continued. “To me, all of this suggests a campaign that is not confident in the abilities of their candidate and the appeal of her agenda.”

“Vice President Harris will say and do anything, and she will change her positions on policies like a chameleon … to get elected,” said former acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan in an interview. “They realize now that in every single poll, she’s upside down with respect to their border security policies. What [has] she [done]? A 180 degree-flip flop and now actually shows the picture … of the very tool and resource that she took away from the border control agents, making their job more difficult,” Morgan continued. He added, “Now all of the sudden, she’s acting like she’s for the wall. … I’m hoping the American people are going to see through this and they’re not going to buy this.”

Early in 2021, Harris was appointed “border czar” by President Joe Biden and was charged with stemming the flow of illegal immigration, while the administration dismantled many of the border security measures put in place by Trump. Her handling of the illegal immigration crisis has been described as “one of the most catastrophic failures in American history.” Numerous reports have exposed the “infighting” and “ineffectiveness” of the Biden-Harris administration’s treatment of the border.

The border wall isn’t the only Trump-team initiative that Harris has quickly adopted as her own. Earlier this month, Harris announced plans not to tax service industry workers’ tips, a plan originally devised by Trump and approved by many elected GOP officials. Just days ago, Harris also changed her tune on the Child Tax Credit (CTC). After attacking Vance for supporting the CTC, claiming that supporting and encouraging families is a means of declaring “war” against “childless people,” Harris reversed her position and proposed expanding the CTC, after Vance had already done the same.

While Harris herself has not formally or personally said anything on the subject, unnamed individuals in her campaign have reported that Harris is “changing her position” on several issues, including fracking, gun control programs, and the idea of a “single-payer health insurance program.” Harris has consistently endorsed far-left policies and positions throughout her career. During her tenure in the U.S. Senate, she maintained the furthest-left voting record of any Democrat. The Trump campaign recently released a new ad featuring side-by-side comparisons of Harris complaining about issues such as inflation and bragging about the Biden-Harris policies which have resulted in the issues Harris is complaining of.

Kamala’s 2024 Dangerous Policies and Radial Agenda website launched

A new website has been launched explaining Kamala’s, and Tim Walz’s, dangerous and radical policies. During her acceptance speech, Kamala did not discuss her policies.

This website does.

WATCH:

According to the Stop Kamala’s Radical Agenda website:

Kamala Harris is Weak, Failed, and Dangerously Liberal

Not only does Kamala Harris own the weakness, failure, and chaos of the Harris-Biden administration, she is so radical that she makes “the Squad” look like moderates. She wants to abolish our borders, let criminals control our streets, surrender our communities to cartels and a plague of fentanyl, wage war on American energy, and destroy the American Dream.

Here are some key parts of Kamala and Tim’s radical agenda:

Fighting to Set Murderers Free

Kamala Harris supported the Minnesota Freedom Fund, helping to bail out now-convicted murderers and violent criminals. One man freed by the bail fund went on to commit murder. She’ll bring the MFF’s policies to the White House.

Harris’s Positions

Kamala Harris actively supports bailing violent criminals out of jail and allowing violent illegal aliens to roam our streets.

Case in point: Kamala Harris called on her supporters to “chip in” to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

According to new reporting from CNN, that fund went on to bail out at least 65 people in a single county accused of “felony charges involving violence, physical threats or sex crimes. All were convicted.”

The MFF paid bail for looters arrested in the 2020 riots, for a twice-convicted rapist, a man accused of sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl, a man accused of a vicious assault and robbery, a man charged with attacking a woman in a restaurant bathroom, and even several serial domestic abusers — among dozens of other criminals.

That makes sense considering Kamala Harris supports ending cash bail — even for violent criminals.

More “Bidenomics”—it’s “Working,” Rising Costs are Nothing to Worry About!

Record high gas prices under the Harris-Biden administration are the “price to pay for democracy.” Remember, Kamala proudly delivered the deciding vote that allowed the $1.9 trillion “stimulus” to be passed. Don’t listen to former Obama economist Jason Furman, who said the spending bill is “too big,” or former Obama and Clinton economist Larry Summers, who said the “tremendous wall of money” led to inflation, or former Obama economic advisor Steven Rattner, who called Kamala’s $1.9 trillion stimulus “the original sin” of inflation.

Harris’s Positions

Harris was the deciding vote on the inflation-fueling $1.9 trillion “stimulus.” Harris owns this inflation, and everyone knows it.

Even liberal economists admit Harris’s massive spending spree sent inflation soaring.

Harris now claims her policies are “working” and wants to double down on the exact same agenda that will send prices even higher.

More Taxes to Ensure the Middle-Class Pays Their “Fair Share”

In Kamala’s America, the middle-class will need to pay more. Those are the Harris tax hikes!

Harris’s Positions

Kamala Harris wants to eliminate the Trump tax cuts, which would mean a massive tax hike on middle-income families.

Harris was the deciding vote for the “Inflation Reduction Act,” which decreased the “average after-tax income for taxpayers” at every income level. Americans earning less than $200,000/year saw their taxes rise by $16.7 billion in 2023.

Abolish Borders

Kamala Harris delivered on her promise to open our borders as border czar—just look at the 10 million who have crossed already, an all-time record! Now it’s time to abolish ICE, decriminalize illegal border crossings, give benefits to illegal aliens, and let them vote!

Harris’s Positions

Kamala “Border Czar” Harris is responsible for the worst border crisis in U.S. history.

According to Harris, “the current administration’s immigration policies largely involve undoing the previous one’s work.” Unfortunately, she’s right, and it fueled the invasion.

The chaos we’ve seen though, may be intentional. Kamala Harris said illegal aliens “are not criminals,” and Harris opposed measures to increase border security and decrease illegal immigration.

Bring Back the Green New Deal

Kamala Harris believes American energy is just plain awful. Thankfully, she knows other countries we can import it from. That’s why she wants to ban fossil fuels, ban fracking, end oil drilling, and export our energy supply chain to China. Her $100 trillion GND would do just that, in addition to ending all of those 2 million “dirty” energy jobs. They need to “transition” to new ones!

Harris’s Positions

Harris bragged about delivering “the most ambitious climate agenda in history.” What does that really mean? Hurting our environment, national security, and economy by exporting our energy supply chain to Communist China.

During her campaign for president, Harris said “there’s no question, I’m in favor of banning fracking. She also touted an agreement to phase out fossil fuels, supported cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, which killed 11,000 jobs, and Harris called the record-high gas prices seen under the Biden administration the “price to pay for democracy.”

Indeed, Harris’ commitment to killing American energy is not new. As senator, Kamala Harris cosponsored the radical $93 trillion Green New Deal with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which estimates show could kill up to 2 million jobs and cost an average family $165,000. In 2017, Harris sponsored legislation to ban offshore drilling.

On top of it all, she wants to ban practically everything, including expressing support for banning plastic straws and a national reduction in red meat consumption.

Kamala Believes in Freedom for Individuals Associated with Violent Behavior. (Formally Referred to as Violent Criminals)

Kamala will continue her record from her time as a prosecutor, where San Francisco police officers said she was slow to prosecute numerous murder suspects and said she regularly offered favorable plea deals to resolve cases out of trial.

Harris’s Positions

Harris supports defunding the police. As even CNN reports, her record supporting defund the police is a long one. She said it is “outdated, it is wrongheaded thinking to think” that more police officers make communities safer, and Harris has repeatedly called to “reimagine” the role of police.

As senator, Harris praised L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti’s $150 million cut in police funding.

When given the opportunity, Harris failed to prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law.

  • As San Francisco DA, Harris chose not to seek the death penalty against the murderer of a Hispanic San Francisco police officer, or against an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member who shot a father and his two sons. And police accused Harris of being slow to prosecute numerous murder suspects and said she regularly offered favorable plea deals to resolve cases out of trial.
    • In 2010, Harris’ DA office had to dismiss over 1,000 drug cases due to a scandal in the police crime lab, with Harris taking “full responsibility” for the failure.
    • Harris’ DA office granted probation to a violent criminal who then went on to murder two men while released.

To make matters worse, Harris said that we should have a “conversation” about whether terrorists like the Boston Marathon bomber should vote from prison.

Ending “Wrongheaded Thinking” That More Police Mean Safer Communities

Kamala Harris was proud to join the Defund The Police movement in 2020. She boldly said the protests “should not” let up and applauded then-L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti for defunding the LA Police.

Eliminate Private Health Insurance

Kamala Harris believes it’s terrible people have private health insurance, and that even if they like their plan, they shouldn’t get to keep it. Under Harris’s plan, all Americans would lose their health insurance in the name of fairness. That’s why she cosponsored a $32 trillion socialist health care takeover plan to make sure that everybody loses choice!

Harris’s Positions

Harris supports abolishing private insurance. She even cosponsored Bernie Sanders’ $32 trillion socialist health care takeover bill.

When asked about her plan, and specifically on if people who like their plan could keep it, she said “let’s eliminate all of that.”

To add insult to injury, while denying Americans insurance, she supports providing taxpayer-funded health insurance for illegal immigrants. Studies also show that her plan would also lead to as many as 50% of rural hospitals closing their doors.

Give Social Security and Medicare to Illegal Aliens

Kamala believes it’s selfish that seniors want to ensure benefits only go to American citizens. They should pay for benefits for illegal aliens! Who cares if that destroys the program. Kamala believes illegal aliens should receive taxpayer-funded benefits, and while she’s at it, she wants to expand the government takeover even if it puts over 50% of rural hospitals out of business. Move to a city!

Harris’s Positions

During the Harris-Biden administration seniors saw the largest ever Medicare Part B premium increase in 2022, jumping 14.5 percent.

Democrats still have NO PLAN to protect Social Security and Medicare benefits — and that tells you all you need to know, especially since Harris wants to give benefits to tens of millions of illegal aliens, which would destroy the program entirely.

The Bottom Line

It is critical for every legal American voter to understand the policies of the Harris/Walz ticket and the Trump/Vance ticket.

Here are the 20 items on the RNC’s Platform for 2024.

  1. Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion.
  2. Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.
  3. End inflation, and Make America Affordable Again.
  4. Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far!
  5. Stop outsourcing, and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower.
  6. Large tax cuts for workers, and No Tax On Tips!
  7. Defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.
  8. Prevent World War III, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country – all made in America.
  9. End the weaponization of government against the American people.
  10. Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders.
  11. Rebuild our cities, including Washington DC, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.
  12. Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world.
  13. Keep the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
  14. Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with NO CUTS, including no changes in the retirement age.
  15. Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly burdensome regulations.
  16. Cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, Radical Gender Ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.
  17. Keep men OUT of women’s sports.
  18. Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again.
  19. Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship.
  20. Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success.

As we have said before “It’s their policies, stupid!”

Choose wisely.

FLORIDA: Dr. Barber Accepts Endorsement for Re-election from of Gun Grabber Senator Doug Broxson

Dr. Karen Barber,

Thank you for the colorful flyer that you mailed to my house at great expense here in Pace in Santa Rosa County, Florida. I noticed you have an endorsement from the Gun Grabbing fraud Republican Senator Doug Broxson.

You do understand that Senator Broxson was the deciding vote that banned the purchase of rifles and shotguns by American citizens aged 18-21 and added a 3 day waiting period on said rifles and shotguns etc..

All totally unconstitutional of course.

On May 10th, 2023 a federal judge ruled that federal prohibitions on licensed dealers selling handguns to 18- to 20-year-olds are unconstitutional.

You are well educated and you probably learned that the average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776 was 44 years old, but did you know that Alexander Hamilton was 20 years old when he was writing this document in conjunction with others and was 21 when he signed it at great risk to his life.

Do you think Alexander Hamilton would comply with Broxson’s unconstitutional actions due to his age or would he consider it an attack on our republic ?

Broxson is a selfish weak spineless individual who betrayed our republic and our constitution and here you are accepting his endorsement for Santa Rosa Superintendent of Schools. Seriously ?

This means you support unconstitutional edicts perhaps ?

Gun ownership is an essential part of our freedoms, our liberty and our Second Amendment Rights and Senator Broxson needs to be removed from the State Senate and the Republican Party sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the mailout our piece means my vote will be for Brenda Stephens.

FLORIDA: Santa Rosa County Commissioner Colton Wright a Poster Child for the ‘Propaganda RINO Club’

Commissioner Wright,

Why are you mailing me more bogus colorful propaganda “vote for me mailings to my house”?

Your mailer states you are a Conservative.

Actually — I am the real conservative and you are perhaps the biggest fake Republican in the history of Santa Rosa County. My opinion.

Your fake mailer says you are a conservative yet at a past commissioner meeting you stated you are proud to be a Republican in Name Only RINO.

Your mailer states you got endorsed by Senator Broxson and you say you support the National Rifle Association. You can’t make this stuff up.

Senator Broxson was the deciding vote that:

  • Disarmed adults under the age of 21, leaving them defenseless.
  • Imposed mandatory government waiting periods on ALL firearms purchases in Florida.
  • Banned certain firearm accessories.
  • Implemented a “mental health” gun ban which could strip up to 3.5 million law-abiding Floridians of their rights WITHOUT due process.
  • Created a Gun Confiscation Order without due process.

ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Senator Broxson is being sued by the NRA for this vote after he told his constituents he would not vote for this bill but he did. Now here he is endorsing you, the most liberal fake Republican County Commissioner in the history of Santa Rosa County.

A fraud endorsing a fraud. A real conservative would NOT accept Broxson’s endorsement.

You show an endorsement from another fraud Republican Michelle Saltzman, a member of the Florida House of Representatives who paid her way through college as a stripper.

Saltzman also served as a “Safe Schools Equality Index Advisory Member” through Equality Florida.

The “Safe School Equality Index” partners with youth centered organizations to meet the so called needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-binary and questioning students in Florida’s K-12 schools.

This is the job of WE the parents, not the Florida school district or Michelle Saltzman. Michelle Saltzman is a poster child for DEI on steroids. I would not have accepted her DEI Endorsement.

You include an endorsement from former Congressman Jeff Miller, another “Let’s play Republican for votes guy”. Jeff Miller was an executive assistant to Democratic state Agriculture Commissioner Doyle Conner from 1984 to 1988. Jeff Miller was a full blown liberal Democrat until he switched parties in 1997 because Republicans had the lead in the voter base.

Commissioner Wright, why did you endorse and vote to approve a Democrat to sit on a county environmental board, how about you voting against the banning of illegal immigrants in our county or words to that effect.

Don’t you also support implementing “impact fees” on developers which will drive up the price of building and selling a home adding to the exponential inflation in our county.

Don’t you want to double the existing half-cent sales tax to help fund transportation projects ? Exactly what transportation projects do you want to fund ? Electric bikes for the road and bridge employees perhaps or grants for electric police cars in Gulf Breeze? Maybe an electric golf cart for the engineering department ?

Seriously dude don’t waste your time mailing me your bogus propaganda mail outs, save these mail outs for your democrat socialist pals in Gulf Breeze.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want Americans oppressed like Venezuelans!

In 1992 Venezuela was the 3rd richest nation in our hemisphere here in the Americas. The expansion of free market capitalism and job creation even resulted by 1997 in Venezuela becoming the 2nd largest global purchaser of F-150 work trucks.

In 2001 the socialist redistribution of wealth gang, a minority group of Communists with fraud, deception and sweet words organized and elected a socialist president under the political banner of “income inequality”.

Sound familiar?

The Communists convinced the few lazy bums that would not work in Venezuela they would get the fruits of the capitalist job creators and entrepreneurs labor for free. Just vote for them. So — with the Communists running the show.

In 2004 private health care was abolished in Venezuela and completely socialized. This is also advocated by the Communist democrats in the United States like the legislators in socialist controlled California, New México and New York.

Doctors, nurses and investors in health care who refused to work for a government pittance began leaving Venezuela for Colombia and other countries creating a massive brain drain on the economy.

In 2007 all higher education was also taken over by the Communist Venezuelan government and all student loans were paid off by the Communists.

Higher education became free but the impact on the Venezuelan economy added to the national debt and spurred a continued inflation and contraction of the economy.

The once beacon of light that offered Venezuelans an opportunity to get an advanced degree of value became a worthless communist controlled propaganda diploma. But it was free.

In 2009 the Venezuelan government banned all private gun ownership which was supported by some members of the U.S. government like Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Diane Feinstein.

Kamala Harris already has executive orders in her Executive Vice Presidential desk ready to disarm law abiding Americans if she is elected president this November by another fraudulent election.

WATCH: Harris vows to sign Executive Order to confiscate all guns in America if elected

In 2012 Communist Bernie Sanders endorsed the Communist government of Venezuela and praised their so called new “American dream” Bernie Sanders also supports and supported the Communist dictatorship of Nicaragua that is persecuting the Catholic Church in and arresting Catholic priests in that country.

In 2014 the Communist government of Venezuela started to imprison political opponents and opposition leaders. The gutless spineless coward Maduro had to block the rising dissent.

By 2016 food, medical supplies and healthcare became in short supply creating hunger and poverty all over the once richest country in South America.

Folks here in the USA seem to forget the baby formula shortages and empty shelves at supermarkets created by the communist Biden administration.

Over 8 million Venezuelans have fled their homes out of basic survival measures to not starve and to provide for their families including my Venezuelan wife’s 5 brothers now living in Colombia and Brazil.

In 2017 the Venezuelan constitution was suspended along with elections and in 2019 when the Venezuelan people rose up unfortunately they were now disarmed and were unable to retake their country back and thousands were massacred by the Maduro regime.

In 2024 another fraud election has been uncovered in Venezuela when the people won their freedom by a 71% margin. My Venezuelan wife told me Venezuelan law requires all polling stations to release the election results in 48 hours after the election.

Maduro has not done this — so he’s manipulating the results. The election results are easy to verify by district using an individual Venezuelans cédula number. My wife did this and Maduro lost by 71% in her district of Caracas.

Already 16 Venezuelans have been killed by the Bernie Sanders endorsed Maduro regime. This time the people won’t roll over and Maduro may want to call Bernie Sanders and ask for political asylum in Vermont.

Personally I’m looking at the 15 million dollar bounty on Maduros head placed there by the Trump administration. I would love a trip to Vermont.

The era of the bounty hunter is emerging in Venezuela and this time I’m pretty sure soon the US Treasury will be paying out the reward money. Today’s drone technology is a hoot right?

Stay strong America even though our republic is currently on the same failing course as Venezuela by the corrupt installed Biden regime but the difference is we are still well armed and we are still maintaining peace and decorum.

Although I have zero confidence in the Republican led do nothing weak useless Congress the Rep/Dem uni-party we must still elect Trump this November.

VA Official Says Agency Won’t Follow Law Protecting Veterans Gun Rights If Passed

VA Official Says Agency Won’t Follow Law Protecting Veterans Gun Rights If Passed

By Mark Chesnut

Debate over federal legislation designed to protect veterans from having their gun rights infringed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs simply for having someone help them with their finances is getting contentious.

A U.S. House of Representatives hearing on Wednesday focused on the “Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act,” which would reverse the policy for reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS)  when a veteran has appointed a financial fiduciary to handle his or her monetary affairs. The VA deems a veteran appointing a fiduciary to be mentally incompetent, barring them from purchasing a firearm as a result.

Veteran supporters and pro-gun advocates believe the VA reporting such an occurrence to NICS makes veterans in need of help less likely to ask for fear they’ll be denied their Second Amendment rights.

VA officials, however, vehemently disagree. And at the hearing, one said that if Congress should pass such a law, the VA would not comply with it.

According to a report at freebasenews.com, VA Deputy Undersecretary Glenn Powers testified that his department opposes the act. Additionally, he said the VA already provides a sufficient method for beneficiaries who have been reported to NICS to “petition for relief.”

“VA did not err in reporting, and if passed into law VA could not comply,” Powers said.

Of course, “petitioning for relief” after one has lost their gun rights isn’t what the Second Amendment is all about. “Shall not be infringed,” doesn’t mean “Infringe and then see if you can get your rights back.” It’s akin to unconstitutional “red-flag” laws that allow the government to confiscate weapons because of possibly baseless accusations, then make the gun owner go to court and prove they deserve to have their firearms returned.

Speaking of such laws, Powers also said the VA would oppose a forthcoming bill that would bar the VA from joining in support of “red-flag” laws, also called extreme risk protective orders (ERPOs). Powers said that legislation “places the security and safety of veterans their families and communities at risk and ultimately prevents VA from providing appropriate care for some of our most vulnerable veterans.”

Of course, the VA undersecretary’s declaration that the agency would not follow a law if legally passed by Congress didn’t set well with supporters in the House, including Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Montana.

“Well, I’m glad everybody hears that on the record—that the VA is going to refuse to comply regardless of what we actually pass here,” Rep. Rosendale said.

Harris vows to sign Executive Order to confiscate all guns in America if elected

Supreme Court Strikes Down Bump Stock Ban

The Supreme Court tossed out a Trump administration-era ban on bump stocks Friday.

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) exceeded its authority when it issued a rule classifying firearms equipped with bump stocks as machine guns. The case, Garland v. Cargill, challenged the ban enacted following the 2017 Las Vegas concert mass shooting, which the ATF implemented by interpreting a federal law restricting the transfer or possession of machine guns to include bump stocks.

“Semiautomatic firearms, which require shooters to reengage the trigger for every shot, are not machineguns,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the majority opinion. “This case asks whether a bump stock—an accessory for a semiautomatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger (and therefore achieve a high rate of fire)—converts the rifle into a ‘machinegun.’ We hold that it does not and therefore affirm.”

A bump stock device can be added to a semi-automatic rifle to assist the user in bump firing, using the weapon’s recoil to help “bump” the trigger against the finger and fire more quickly.

Under the National Firearms Act, a “machine gun” is defined as a weapon that automatically shoots more than one shot “by a single function of the trigger.”

The majority’s opinion, which includes diagrams showing the internal mechanisms of the trigger, explains that “nothing changes when a semiautomatic rifle is equipped with a bump stock.”

“The firing cycle remains the same,” Thomas wrote. “Between every shot, the shooter must release pressure from the trigger and allow it to reset before reengaging the trigger for another shot.”

In a concurring opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the “horrible shooting spree in Las Vegas in 2017 did not change the statutory text or its meaning.”

“There is a simple remedy for the disparate treatment of bump stocks and machineguns,” he wrote. “Congress can amend the law—and perhaps would have done so already if ATF had stuck with its earlier interpretation.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a dissent joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote that the majority’s ruling “will have deadly consequences.”

“When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,” Sotomayor wrote, arguing that Congress’ language naturally encompasses bump stocks.

Mark Chenoweth, president of the organization behind the case, the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), said in a statement that his firm is “delighted that the Court has vindicated our client’s position that ATF does not have the power to rewrite criminal laws.”

“The statute Congress passed did not ban bump stocks, and ATF does not have the power to do so on its own,” Chenoweth said. “This result is completely consistent with the Constitution’s assignment of all legislative power to Congress.”

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Delaware Jury Convicts Hunter Biden On Felony Gun Charges

A Delaware jury convicted Hunter Biden on three felony gun charges Tuesday.

Special counsel David Weiss charged Hunter Biden in September on three counts relating to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly possessed the gun while addicted to drugs and made false statements on the purchase form. The jury found him guilty on all counts.

Hunter Biden was indicted on separate tax charges in December.

Last July, a deal that would have had Hunter Biden plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a diversion agreement for a felony gun charge fell apart under questioning by District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who voiced concerns about an immunity provision included in the diversion agreement. The diversion agreement stated Hunter Biden would not be criminally prosecuted for any crimes encompassed by the statement of facts in his plea deal, which listed the millions of dollars he received through foreign business dealings in China, Ukraine and Romania.

The payments, along with President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings, have been the subject of investigations by the House Oversight Committee.

Prosecutor Leo Wise admitted to Noreika at the time that he was not aware of precedent for an agreement not to prosecute crimes “that have nothing to do with the case or the charges being diverted.”

During the trial, prosecutors called a total of 10 witnesses and rested their case on Friday. Witnesses included multiple women who were romantically involved with Hunter Biden, such as his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, his ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan and Hallie Biden, the widow of his late brother Beau Biden.

To show Hunter Biden was addicted to drugs at the time of his gun purchase, prosecutors cited portions of his memoir, Beautiful Things, where he elaborates on his drug use in 2018, as well as text messages he sent relating to his drug use.

“I was sleeping on a car smoking crack on 4th street and Rodney,” Hunter Biden wrote in a text from October 14, 2018.

Some evidence was obtained from the laptop he abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. Special Counsel David Weiss shot down the defense’s challenge to the laptop’s authenticity, calling their argument in court filings “a conspiracy theory with no supporting evidence.”

FBI agent Erika Jensen, a witness for prosecutors, confirmed on the stand that she had not seen any evidence of tampering with the data.

“The evidence was personal, it was ugly, it was overwhelming,” Wise said during closing arguments, according to NBC News. “It was also absolutely necessary.”

The defense argued that Hunter Biden did not believe he was an addict at the time of the purchase. Naomi Biden, Hunter’s daughter, testified in his defense, speaking about two meetings with her father during 2018, one at a Los Angeles rehab facility during the summer and another in New York City during the fall.

Naomi Biden recalled that her father seemed during that summer “the clearest” she had seen him in the three years since her uncle’s death, The New York Times reported. On cross-examination, prosecutors presented text messages from Hunter Biden’s visit to New York City in October 2018, where she was living at the time.

“I just want to hang out with you,” she wrote in one message, according to Politico. He apologized for being so “unreachable.”

Defense attorneys opted not to call President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, as a witness. Hunter Biden also did not testify in his own defense.

Many Biden family members attended the trial, including First Lady Jill Biden.

Hunter Biden’s California trail on federal tax charges is scheduled to take place in September.

These Accounts of Defensive Gun Use Speak Volumes

It seems that many gun control activists want to take your guns so badly that they’re willing to take your voice, too. And increasingly, the war for the Second Amendment involves battles waged on a First Amendment front.

Just ask the National Rifle Association, which last week needed the Supreme Court to vindicate its right to free speech against New York’s attempts to suppress the gun rights organization’s pro-Second Amendment views.

New York’s unconstitutional assault on a Second Amendment advocacy group was, unfortunately, far from the first time that gun control activists have attacked the lawful gun industry and lawful gun owners by threatening their right to speak freely.

Particularly when it comes to the importance of armed self-defense, gun control activists know that the closest thing they have to a winning argument is a silent (or silenced) opposition. The numbers simply don’t work in their favor.

Almost every major study has found that Americans use their firearms in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times annually, according to a 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2021, the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the issue concluded that roughly 1.6 million defensive gun uses occur in the United States every year.

No wonder gun control activists pressured the CDC two years ago into quietly removing those numbers from the agency’s website. But defenders of the Second Amendment should keep shouting the facts from the rooftops, despite efforts to silence us.

For this reason, The Daily Signal publishes a monthly article highlighting some of the previous month’s many news stories on defensive gun use that you may have missed—or that might not have made it to the national spotlight in the first place. (Read other accounts here from past years.)

The examples below represent only a small portion of the news stories on defensive gun use that we found in May. You may explore more using The Heritage Foundation’s interactive Defensive Gun Use Database.

  • May 1, Jackson, Mississippi: A woman returned home to find herself face-to-face with three burglars who’d broken in, police said. At least one burglar was armed and shot at the woman, who drew her own gun and returned fire until all three fled. Police later arrested one suspect.
  • May 4, Omaha, Nebraska: Security cameras captured the moment an armed Air Force veteran defended his jewelry store from a would-be robber who used a rock to smash his way inside after the store closed, police said. Footage shows the veteran store owner jogging out of a back room and pointing his gun at the robber, who stands over a display case with burglary tools in his hands. After seeing the armed owner, the robber puts his hands in the air and scrambles back out of the store, the video shows. Police didn’t have a suspect.
  • May 7, Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania: A DoorDash driver with a concealed carry permit exchanged gunfire with two carjackers who accosted him while he made a late-night delivery, police said. The driver escaped unharmed and his assailants fled, though police later arrested a suspect after tracking him down with a K-9 unit.
  • May 9, Portland, Oregon: Two private security officers confronted a man who was “aggressively banging on apartment windows” and tried to get him to leave the premises. For unclear reasons, the man then charged at a bystander and continued coming after him, even as the bystander tried to get away. Eventually, the bystander drew his lawfully concealed firearm and shot the man, wounding him.
  • May 11, Yakima, Washington: A homeowner who fatally shot an elderly man did so in self-defense after the man came onto the homeowner’s property and threatened his family with a gun, police said. The homeowner’s version of events was confirmed by video evidence and witness statements.
  • May 14, Vermillion, South Dakota: Police said a man with a history of domestic violence violated a protection order, forced his way into a woman’s home, threatened those inside with a handgun, and shot at a guest. The guest retrieved his own firearm and fatally shot the assailant before he could harm anyone. Records indicate this wasn’t the first time the woman was granted a protection order against the man—or the first time that he violated one.
  • May 15, Willow Springs, Illinois:  An armed homeowner helped end a police manhunt, detaining a wanted burglary suspect at gunpoint after catching him hiding in his backyard, where his young child was playing, police said. The suspect was one of two men accused of stealing chainsaws and leading police on a high-speed chase that at times reached 120 mph. Police arrested a second suspect outside a nearby school.
  • May 17, Monrovia, California: Police said a man armed with knives showed up at a woman’s home in violation of a restraining order, then tried to stab her and another man inside the residence. The woman retrieved her firearm and fatally shot him. Neither victim appeared to be injured.
  • May 21, Vernon Parish, Louisiana: A woman’s ex-boyfriend broke into the home where she and her children were staying as a way to avoid him, police said. He stabbed the woman in front of the children, then stabbed the homeowner when he tried to intervene. Despite life-threatening wounds, the homeowner retreated to another room, grabbed his gun, and fatally shot the ex-boyfriend.
  • May 24, Farrell, Pennsylvania: When a police officer approached a man outside a convenience store, suspecting he carried a weapon, the man refused to cooperate and started shooting at the officer, police said. A bystander with a concealed carry permit helped return fire at the gunman, who was wounded and arrested.
  • May 27, Taylor, Texas: A homeowner shot and wounded a man who, while wielding a large knife inscribed with the words “hail Satan,” tried to break into his house in the middle of the night. The suspect faces felony charges, police said.
  • May 29, Lehigh Acres, Florida: A county sheriff lauded an armed homeowner as a hero for fatally shooting a man who, in the midst of an hourslong violent crime spree, drove a stolen car to a relative’s home and opened fire at those inside. It wasn’t clear what prompted the man, who had no criminal history, to commit four carjackings before targeting the homeowner.

Examples like the ones above make it easy to see why proponents of gun control are often more eager to use the government’s coercive power to silence pro-Second Amendment views than they are to engage in open and honest gun policy debates.

They rely on a narrative that “good guys with guns” really don’t exist and that armed self-defense is rarely an effective solution for crime victims. But that narrative is only persuasive if stories about defensive gun use are swept under the rug.

Because these stories of armed self-defense speak volumes.

We won’t let them be silenced.

Rep. Mark Green Leads Bid To Reverse Biden Admin’s ‘Politically Motivated’ Gun Restrictions

Republican Tennessee Rep. Mark Green on Wednesday took action to reverse a Biden administration rule placing new restrictions on firearm exports.

The rule, released by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on April 30, makes a number of changes to licensing requirements that could make it more difficult for firearm manufacturers and sellers to conduct business. Green, who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the rule, along with 69 other Republicans.

“Congress cannot abandon American firearm exporters to the whims of an administration hellbent on undermining their businesses, their livelihoods, and their constitutional freedoms,” Green told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Congress has the authority to rein in rogue federal agencies—it’s time we used it.”

Republican Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty is introducing the Senate’s version of the CRA.

“This rule is another Operation Choke Point—a politically motivated effort that significantly harms Tennessee manufacturers—and will consequently destroy U.S. jobs and small businesses that support the firearm and ammunition industry,” Hagerty said in an April 30 statement. “The Biden administration has made clear that its goal is to damage the firearm industry that supplies the products that allow Americans to exercise their constitutional freedom. Crushing American exports is just a means to skirt the legislative process and do damage to yet another Biden-disfavored industry.”

The CRA comes on the heels of Green’s introduction of the Stop the Bureaucratic Ineptitude Shuttering Respectable and Upstanding Lawful Exporters Act (Stop the BIS RULE Act) bill in early May, which would prevent federal funds from being used “to finalize, implement, or enforce” the rule.

Green previously told the DCNF the rule would “harm American business owners, hinder the right of people overseas to protect themselves, and will allow China and Russia to fill the void.”

The rule lowers export license validity to one year rather than four, inserts a “crime control” licensing requirement that factors in crime in other countries and applies a “presumption of denial” to export applications to 36 countries deemed high-risk.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement announcing the new rule that it was designed to protect “America’s national security by making it harder for criminals, terrorists, and cartels to get their hands on U.S.-made firearms,” which she noted “fall into the wrong hands and end up being used in ways that directly undermine U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.”

BIS, an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, issued the rule following a 90-day pause on new export licenses for civilian firearms, which was announced in October but ultimately lasted over 180 days.

President Joe Biden has a long history of supporting gun control. As a senator in 1994, he helped pass a ten- year ban on “assault weapons” and continues to advocate for a federal ban.
