On Sunday night, Vice President Kamala Harris finally published a policy agenda on her campaign website, nearly two months after she became the de facto Democratic nominee. The problem, however, is that much of the source code on the page appears to have been lifted from President Joe Biden’s campaign website from when he was still running. X user Corinne Green, described as a “queer, transfemme activist from New Orleans,” posted that the Harris campaign “copied and pasted the policy page code from biden’s website and couldn’t be a**ed to change it. ‘join our campaign to re-elect joe biden today!’” they copied and pasted the policy page code from biden’s website and couldn’t be assed to change it. “join our campaign to re-elect joe biden today!” pic.twitter.com/cDlL8xn01Q — Corinne Green (@gaynarcan) September 9, 2024 “very serious people deeply concerned with the situation we’re in and approaching the campaign with the focus and gravity it deserves,” Green said in a follow-up post. The text didn’t appear on the website but was visible in its metadata, but that metadata is used by search engines, meaning the “re-elect Joe Biden” phrase was visible in searches for Harris’ policy issues page. It was also visible when links to the page were shared, The New Republic reported. “All of this creates the impression that at least some of the Harris campaign’s policy language was copied and pasted from Biden’s documents,” the outlet noted. “That would be an embarrassing miscue from the Harris campaign, which partly came into being because of a perception that a refresh was needed to garner enthusiasm in the Democratic Party. It doesn’t help that the section on her website about her Israel-Palestine policy seems very similar to what Biden’s campaign was saying.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

The latest New York Times/Siena College poll shows former President Donald Trump with a one-point lead over Harris nationally. “This is a disaster area poll for Kamala Harris. I’ve been saying for a long time that she had hit her high watermark, that there was only receding to the mean from there, that she had had weeks and weeks and weeks of no serious questions asked of her, and eventually the vibes would run out,” Shapiro wrote. The lead is with likely voters, a better measure of voting than polls that sample registered voters. But when looking at registered voters nationally, the same poll gave Trump a two-point lead. The poll also found that Trump had a one-point lead in terms of favorability over Harris. Forty-six percent of Americans said they had a very or somewhat favorable view of Trump, while 45% said the same of Harris. A bigger gap came when voters were asked whether they already knew what they needed to know about the candidate to make a decision. Eighty-seven percent said they already knew what they needed to know about Trump, but only 67% said the same of Harris. “It turns out the American people really do want Kamala to explicate who she is and what she believes in order for them to make her president of the United States,” Shapiro wrote.

Senator Ted Cruz is calling on the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to immediately end a Democrat-led parole program, alleging that the program is rife with fraud and is enabling trafficking and violent crime, including “sexual assault, rape, and murder.”  In a letter sent Tuesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Cruz and his fellow senators call for the Cuba-Haiti-Nicaragua-Venezuela (CHNV) Parole Program to be terminated “immediately,” calling it “ineffective, unlawful, and hazardous.”  The senators also demand enhanced border security and immigration enforcement, a comprehensive investigation of the failures and abuses associated with the program, and the promise that any future immigration policies will be subject to appropriate congressional review.  The Biden-Harris administration temporarily halted the CHNV Parole Program in mid-July “out of an abundance of caution” following serious backlash to the program, which facilitated the entry of about 520,000 illegal aliens into the United States by plane.  Yet DHS restarted the program after less than six weeks’ pause, the senators wrote in their letter to Garland and Mayorkas, noting that DHS merely added new requirements for those who wish to sponsor illegal aliens to submit fingerprints.  “These stop-gap marginal improvements and platitudes to improve the program do not solve the fundamental fraud, failure, and illegality of the CHNV program,” the senators wrote. “This fundamentally-flawed program must be permanently dismantled, and steps must be taken to ensure that future immigration policies are both lawful and effective.” Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (2L) speaks about immigration and border security near Coronado National Memorial in Montezuma Pass, Arizona, August 22, 2024. (Photo by OLIVIER TOURON/AFP via Getty Images) DHS had pulled the plug on the program in July after an audit found that many of the program’s sponsors were lying about their relationship with the immigrants who were seeking U.S. residency, The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak reported on August 20. Many sponsors were posing as relatives or friends while exploiting migrants.  The Democratic Party still cites the program as its top plan for “expanding legal immigration and deterring illegal immigration.”  Cruz and his fellow senators allege that the CHNV Parole Program violates existing law. Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act stipulates parole can only be granted on a case-by-case basis for “significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian need.”  “By establishing a categorical program based on nationality, the Biden administration created a parallel immigration system without congressional approval,” the senators wrote.   The senators also warn DHS and DOJ that the program has “pervasive failure in oversight” and does not properly vet applicants, allowing fraudulent submissions. “There have been many instances of crimes, such as sexual assault, rape, and murder committed by CHNV participants.”  The program is rife with massive fraud, the senators continue, citing an internal Homeland Security report that found a total of 100,948 forms had been filed by 3,218 sponsors who often did not provide their income or meet the financial threshold necessary to support the number of parolees they were asking to sponsor. The report also cited many instances of fake phone numbers and addresses and identical false information, “suggesting a coordinated attempt to exploit the program.”  “Scammers have been charging up to $5,000 for sponsorship, which underscores the program’s vulnerability to exploitation by traffickers and other malicious actors,” the senators wrote.  Given that the United States has “limited diplomatic relations with Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua” and that Haiti lacks a functional government, the senators also expressed concerns that the program has exposed the United States to serious national security risks.  “This unprecedented surge has overwhelmed our border enforcement resources and heightened the risks associated with inadequate immigration controls,” they wrote. “Given these grave concerns, it is clear that the CHNV Parole Program represents a profound failure of policy and administration. The program has not only facilitated widespread fraud, but has also exposed serious vulnerabilities in our immigration system, leading to dire consequences for public safety.”  Supporters of former US President and 2024 presidential hopeful Donald Trump hold images of Laken Riley before he speaks at a “Get Out the Vote” rally in Rome, Georgia, on March 9, 2024.

(Photo by ELIJAH NOUVELAGE/AFP via Getty Images) The lawmakers also note that the program has been associated with a significant increase in Venezuelans entering the United States associated with a “troubling rise in crime” — including violent Venezuelan gangs operating within the country linked to drug trafficking, extortion, and violent assaults.  One such Venezuelan illegal alien has been charged with the brutal murder of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia. Her killer is connected to the gang Tren de Aragua. “The CHNV program’s design, which allows for large-scale entry without thorough individual vetting, has made it easier for criminal elements to exploit the system and to enter the interior of the United States,” the letter states. “In tandem with the current border crisis, the CHNV program does not only pose a direct threat to public safety but also strains law enforcement resources as they work to address the rising crime rates associated with an influx of inadequately vetted aliens.” DOJ and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) fiercely criticized CNN for its role in covering up the Hunter Biden laptop scandal during the 2020 election. In a tense exchange with CNN’s Dana Bash, Cotton pointed to the media’s suppression of the story as a significant factor that influenced the election outcome. This confrontation occurred during a recent interview where Bash asked Cotton about alleged Russian interference in U.S. elections, specifically regarding claims that Russian operatives were funding right-wing influencers through organizations like Tenet Media. Cotton did not deny the possibility of foreign interference but argued that these efforts, such as memes and videos, were minuscule compared to the media's active role in shaping narratives that affected voters. He redirected the conversation to the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was widely dismissed by major news outlets and intelligence officials as Russian disinformation during the 2020 election. Cotton asserted that this misinformation campaign was far more consequential to the election’s outcome than any foreign meddling.

He highlighted how more than 50 former intelligence officials, including CNN’s Dana Bash’s ex-husband Jeremy Bash, signed a letter in 2020 suggesting the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. This narrative, according to Cotton, was debunked as investigations later confirmed the authenticity of the laptop and its contents. However, by then, the damage had been done, and the public had been misled at a crucial time during the election. The Arkansas senator underscored the broader implications of this misinformation. He claimed that suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story helped protect Joe Biden from scrutiny and negatively impacted voters’ perception of the Biden family. Cotton accused CNN and other mainstream outlets of “buying the lie hook, line, and sinker,” referring to the now-disproven claims that the story was Russian propaganda. He argued that this type of media manipulation was more dangerous than any external interference from Russia or other foreign adversaries.

The laptop, which contained emails and other data allegedly linking Hunter Biden to questionable business dealings, was largely ignored or dismissed by mainstream outlets in the lead-up to the election. Cotton contended that had the story been properly reported, it could have swayed voter opinions and altered the course of the election​. Dana Bash tried to refocus the conversation on the potential impact of foreign interference, particularly Russian efforts to influence right-wing influencers, but Cotton remained firm on the media’s culpability in the Hunter Biden cover-up. He argued that while foreign influence campaigns have been a factor in U.S. elections for decades, the deliberate suppression of domestic stories like the Biden laptop was a more direct and harmful form of election interference​. This latest exchange between Cotton and CNN reflects the ongoing tension between conservative politicians and mainstream media, with many on the right accusing outlets like CNN of bias and misinformation. As the 2024 election approaches, these concerns about media manipulation and election integrity continue to shape the political discourse. Cotton’s remarks have resonated with many in conservative circles who view the Hunter Biden laptop story as a missed opportunity for accountability. As the narrative around the laptop shifts, Cotton’s confrontation with CNN highlights the ongoing debate about the role of the media in influencing public perception and elections.

When you add personal touches to a home, you’ll be amazed at how much the space transforms. This is especially true of old or unconventional homes. And you can’t get much more unconventional than where Grymm Dupp chose to live. In the town of Horton, Michigan, this man discovered a gem — a church that was built in 1906, making it 118 years old. Needless to say, Grymm signed up to do quite a few renovations when he purchased it. For example, one of the bathrooms had carpeted floors, a design choice that has only become more and more disliked over the years. When Grymm pulled up the old carpet, he was no doubt hopeful he’d discover vintage flooring he’d love. What he didn’t expect, however, was to discover that the church has a trapdoor. With far more bravery than most of us, the man opened it up… see the result in the video below! @nypost A Michigan man finds a creepy trap door in 118-year-old church. ♬ original sound – New York Post | News Man Investigates a Hidden Trapdoor in the 118-Year-Old Church He’s Making His Home If Grymm had any qualms about opening up the trapdoor alone, it certainly didn’t stop him from doing it anyway. Not even the layers of webs could deter him from trying to get a closer look at this hidden passage. Although he wasn’t able to get the clearest view at the moment, it’s so cool that he managed to find this hidden spot! As much of a bummer it is that Grymm wasn’t able to explore the area a bit more, he’s likely taking things in stride. Turns out, renovating an old church to become a home takes time, so he’s got quite a bit of work to do. But that won’t stop people from speculating about the origin of this trapdoor. While some people find the space to be terrifying, others find it fascinating. It was also pointed out that, because it seems there is PVC piping down there, it could be a more recent addition. Either way, we wonder if Grymm will ever give us a full tour of the spooky space… You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
