We didn’t post every lie Harris told during last night’s debate, but we have 22. The fact-checkers never once fact-checked her, but they debated and fact-checked Donald Trump. Even their fact-checks were lies. The lies were so blatant that this could only have been aimed at low-information voters. In that case, Harris might have won.

Former President Donald Trump declared victory on Wednesday morning following his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying he believed it was one of his best debate performances ever. The Republican nominee made the remarks during an interview on “Fox & Friends” after he had to battle not only Harris, but also biased ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, over the course of the 105-minute event. Trump called the debate “rigged,” alleging extreme bias from Muir and Davis, which included them only fact-checking his statements and not Harris’s and them pressing Trump with follow-ups while allowing Harris to evade questions. “I thought I did a great job,” Trump said. “It was three-on-one. Man, I thought I did a great job.” After discussing various points from the debate, Trump was asked about Fox News’s offer to both campaigns to have a debate hosted by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. The network offered three dates in October: October 9 in Arizona, October 15 in Georgia, or October 16 in North Carolina. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

Trump added that he believed he won the debate because Harris’ campaign came out immediately afterward and started pushing for a second debate. “They lost very badly,” he said. “The first thing they did is ask for a debate, because that’s what when a fighter loses, he says, ‘I want a rematch’. I want a rematch. They always do.”

In 2022, on the one-year anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot, Vice President Kamala Harris compared the day to mass casualty events 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Harris spoke at the Capitol on January 6, 2022, leading a day of Democrats treating the riot — which resulted in the death of protester Ashli Babbit at the hands of Capitol police — as something akin to the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York City, which killed nearly 3,000 people. “Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them, where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault,” Harris said at the time. “Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars but a place in our collective memory. December 7, 1941. September 11, 2001, and January 6, 2021.” One police officer died the day after January 6 due to two strokes, and four more committed suicide in the months that followed. It is unclear just how many first responders and others have died in the decades since 9/11 due to cancer and other related illnesses. A total of 2,403 people were killed in the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Harris also in that speech called for legislation to allegedly protect democracy, The Daily Wire previously reported. “On Jan. 6, we all saw what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful. The lawlessness. The violence. The chaos,” Harris said in 2022. “What was at stake then, and now, is the right to have our future decided the way the Constitution prescribes it: By we, the people.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

At the time of Harris’ speech, report and investigator Jerry Dunleavy called the vice president’s comparison “ridiculous.” “Ridiculous comparisons… The Capitol riot was bad, political violence is wrong, & people are being prosecuted for it,” Dunleavy tweeted. “It wasn’t comparable to Pearl Harbor (2,403 sailors, soldiers, & civilians killed by the Japanese Empire) nor comparable to 9/11 (2,977 Americans & others killed by Al-Qaeda). Obviously.” The Capitol riot was bad, political violence is wrong, & people are being prosecuted for it. It wasn’t comparable to Pearl Harbor (2,403 sailors, soldiers, & civilians killed by the Japanese Empire) nor comparable to 9/11 (2,977 Americans & others killed by Al-Qaeda). Obviously. — Jerry Dunleavy IV ?? (@JerryDunleavy) January 6, 2022 Podcast host and actor Joe Rogan also blasted Harris for her “insane” comparison. “This is complete insanity. Look, Jan 6 was embarrassing; it was pathetic; it was confusing to me,” Rogan said in 2022. “‘Cause there are parts of it that confused me—the parts where you have these clear agent provocateurs in the audience calling for people to go into the Capitol. … There’s video of cops opening up barriers. What is that? Why did they do that? Has there ever been an explanation of that?”

Since the September 11 terror attacks that caused the United States to occupy Afghanistan for two decades, the threat of terrorism is once again growing in the Middle Eastern country. The House Foreign Affairs Committee released a 353-page report this week that detailed some of the terror activity that has ballooned in Afghanistan spurred on by the U.S. withdrawal in 2021. “From the inception of the United States’ presence in Afghanistan, a primary goal has been to incapacitate terrorist groups seeking haven in the region, particularly with the Taliban’s assent,” the report states, adding that the “administration failed to plan for alternative methods of countering terrorism following the withdrawal. Terrorism, as a result, has flourished under the Biden-Harris administration.” The threat of terrorism has increased from one group in particular. ISIS-K is an offshoot of ISIS in Afghanistan and is responsible for the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and dozens of Afghans in a suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport during the U.S. withdrawal. The United Nations now assesses that ISIS-K, especially after a terror attack on the Crocus City Hall in Moscow in March, now represents the “greatest external terrorist threat to” Europe. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. ISIS-K and other terror organizations have been allowed to regroup and grow under Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, according to the report. The Haqqani Network, a sophisticated terror operation under the Taliban, and Al Qaeda, the terror group behind the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., have also reasserted themselves in Afghanistan “Meanwhile, without a presence in Afghanistan, the United States is ill-positioned to counter the rise in terrorism in Afghanistan,” the report says. It goes on to call Al Qaeda “one of, if not the largest threat from Afghanistan following the Biden-Harris administration’s withdrawal.” FBI Director Christopher Wray has repeatedly warned about the increasing threat environment for years, especially after the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7 of last year. “Even before October 7, I would have told this Committee that we were at a heightened threat level from a terrorism perspective,” Wray told the Senate Intelligence Committee in April. “In the sense that, it’s the first time I’ve seen in a long, long time, the threats from homegrown violent extremists — that is jihadist-inspired extremists — domestic violent extremists, foreign terrorist organizations, and state-sponsored terrorist organizations all being elevated at one time.” The terror threats rising in the Middle East have been made more pressing by the chaos on the southern border, Wray has said.

After the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice-President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, CNN political commentator Scott Jennings pointed out that many of the voters Trump still needed to win over likely did not watch. Former President George W. Bush appointed Jennings as special assistant to the president and deputy director of political affairs in February 2006. “I think if you want to hang your hat on something for Trump, it’s the economic numbers,” Jennings started. “I’ve said I thought he won the first 15 minutes; it was largely about the economy. And so there’s still a built-in belief by most voters that it’s been mismanaged by Biden and Harris.” Jennings’ claim gains more credence in light of the fact that a CNN poll taken after the debate found that the percentage of voters who thought Trump was more trustworthy on the economy rose; before the debate, he led Harris by 16 points, 53-37%, but after the debate, the difference increased to 20%, 55-35%. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “And so if you’re Trump, and you’re trying to take something positive out of this, it’s that built-in vibe of ‘they just didn’t do a good job on it,’” Jennings stated. “He had to understand that and not get away from it.” Then he turned to the prospective voters Trump needed to win over, saying, “Number two, obviously, millions of people watched this. A lot of people didn‘t watch it, and a lot of those people who didn‘t watch it and may see nothing about it are some of the people that Donald Trump‘s campaign needs to turn out. The disengagers, they‘re not going to be persuaded by this. That‘s still a big part of the Trump strategy, and I don‘t think they‘ll be moved.” https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/2024-09-10-Grabien-CNN-Scott_Jennings-2590144-1.mp4 During the debate, Trump stated, “We’ve had a terrible economy because inflation has — which is really known as a country buster. It breaks up countries. We have inflation like very few people have ever seen before. Probably the worst in our nation’s history. … Everybody knows I’m an open book. Everybody knows what I’m going to do. Cut taxes very substantially. And create a great economy like I did before. We had the greatest economy.” RELATED: CNN Poll: After Debate, Even More Voters Trust Trump On Economy

The overwhelming pressures of life can cloud our minds, making it difficult to think or make decisions, and in these moments, we crave peace and clarity but often feel trapped in our anxiety and confusion.

Are we performing to earn God's favor in some way, or have we allowed the affection of God to absolutely inundate us with gratitude for how much He loved us and what it cost for Him to go to the cross?
