Gun grabber Kamala Harris claims she will protect the 2nd Amendment and Donald Trump will take away our gun rights. This is nuts. In the clown world, Harris is the protector of America’s Second Amendment rights. It shouts desperation. The internal polls must be bad for this empty-suit candidate who was undemocratically installed as the […] The post Harris’s Desperate Lie Defies Credulity for Every American appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

USA Today became the third national news outlet not to endorse a presidential candidate this cycle, rejecting demands from staffers to publicly back Vice President Kamala Harris for president just one week before Election Day. The outlet previously endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 – the editorial board’s first presidential endorsement in its history – but will not endorse Harris in 2024, The Hill reported. This includes more than 200 Gannett-owned outlets across the country, however, those outlets can endorse local politicians. “None of the USA TODAY Network publications are endorsing in presidential or national races,” Lark-Marie Antón, a spokesperson for USA Today, told the Hill on Monday. “While USA TODAY will not endorse for president, local editors at publications across the USA TODAY Network have the discretion to endorse at a state or local level,” Antón said in a different statement sent to the Hill. “Many have decided not to endorse individual candidates, but rather, endorse key local and state issues on the ballot that impact the community.” “Why are we doing this? Because we believe America’s future is decided locally – one race at a time,” the spokesperson continued. “And with more than 200 publications across the nation, our public service is to provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Last week, the Los Angeles Times became the first major outlet not to endorse in the presidential race after the editorial board proposed supporting Harris, even though it had endorsed every Democrat presidential candidate since Barack Obama in 2008, The Daily Wire reported. The decision not to endorse reportedly came from Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a wealthy biotech entrepreneur who bought the newspaper six years ago. A spokesperson for the outlet didn’t deny reports about the rejected endorsement, telling those who asked: “We do not comment on internal discussions or decisions about editorials or endorsements.” Following the decision, the head of the Times’ editorial board, Mariel Garza, announced she would resign from the paper, The Daily Wire reported. “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.” “I didn’t think we were going to change our readers’ minds—our readers, for the most part, are Harris supporters,” Garza added. “We’re a very liberal paper. I didn’t think we were going to change the outcome of the election in California.” The Washington Post followed the Times in an announcement that it also would not endorse in the presidential race after its editorial board proposed backing Harris, The Daily Wire reported. “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election,” the Post Editorial Board said in a statement. “Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.” “We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” the paper added. “That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way.” The Post reportedly lost more than 200,000 subscribers after the announcement, The Daily Wire reported.

Vice President Kamala Harris raised a number of eyebrows after video circulated of her recent tour of a semiconductor plant — where she asked employees whether or not she could touch something she described simply as “shiny!” Harris, ramping up her campaign stops during the final days of the 2024 presidential election, made a visit to Hemlock Semiconductors in Saginaw, Michigan, where she got the chance to see newly harvested silicon laid out on a table.

Do not touch it!” “Do not — I’m glad I asked,” Harris recoiled slightly, laughing. “And I won’t touch that.” “Please do not touch any of the poly — it is very sharp,” the employee repeated. “Those are very sharp.” “And shiny,” Harris agreed, still laughing. Critics mocked the whole scenario, suggesting it looked more like a scene from the show “VEEP” than a real interaction between a presidential candidate and a constituent. “Veep or VEEP?” conservative communications strategist Steve Guest asked, encouraging viewers to watch the exchange play out with the sound on.

Former President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday a plan to seize assets from criminal gangs and drug cartels and divert those resources to a compensation fund for the victims of migrant crime during a second term in the White House. “I’m announcing that for the first time under my administration, we will be seizing the assets of the criminal gangs and drug cartels,” Trump said during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, one week from Election Day. ?

The government will help in the restitution, but something has to be done, and we’re gonna get it done.” While the economy appears to be the leading issue for voters across the nation in the 2024 election, immigration and violent crime are also top issues they consider to be important, surveys have shown in recent months. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Trump’s 2024 rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, has faced blowback over the Biden administration’s struggles to curb illegal immigration because she was tasked with stemming the “root causes” of migration to the southern border in 2021. Data from the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement show that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the U.S. as of mid-July were serious criminals, The Daily Wire reported in September. Harris also gets flack over her support of the “defund the police” movement and promoting a bail fund to assist people who were arrested in Minnesota amid the George Floyd riots that took place during the summer of 2020. “The full consequences of Kamala’s four-year reign are almost too terrible to discuss or contemplate … Kamala is grossly incompetent — a total train wreck who has destroyed everything in her path,” Trump said during his press conference. Earlier in the year, Trump said during a Fox News interview that airstrikes against Mexican drug cartels were “absolutely” a possibility, adding, “Mexico is going to have to straighten it out really fast or the answer is, absolutely. They’re killing 300,000 people a year with fentanyl coming in.”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro revealed on Monday night an effort by The New York Times to deplatform conservative podcasters on YouTube using information provided to them by a highly-partisan liberal activist group. Shapiro posted a text message he received earlier in the day from a reporter at The New York Times about a report that was about to be published on “how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube.” The reporter disclosed that the newspaper relied on research provided to them by Media Matters for America, a far-left organization dedicated to destroying conservative media that is funded by Democrat megadonors. Media Matters claims that they identified 286 alleged instances from May through August of this year of podcasters on YouTube promoting what they claimed was “election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or are not supported with credible evidence.” The reporter said that they are including a clip of Shapiro saying: “… Your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting …” The New York Times asked the following three questions: Are you a member of the YouTube Partner Program? If so, how frequently does YouTube demonetize your videos? Has YouTube sent you messages, emails or notices in the last year that your content contains misinformation? The quote from Shapiro that Media Matters flagged for The New York Times came from Shapiro’s show on June 21, 2024, titled: “The Debate Is COMING.” In the portion of the video where Shapiro makes the remarks, he is talking about how former President Donald Trump should have responded to Biden when Biden brings up January 6. The following is the full context of Shapiro’s remarks: And what Donald Trump needs to say is: “Listen, Joe, you and I disagree on what happened in the 2020, election. I, for example, think that your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting. I think that you worked with the media in order to prevent the dissemination of a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the last month of the election, and you and your son knowing that the laptop was real, lied about it to the American people. We can disagree about what happened in 2020 but none of that matters to the American people, because right now the calendar reads 2024. It reads June 27, 2024, no one in America is thinking about January 6. And the only reason you are is because you are a cynical actor attempting to avoid the consequences of your own failed presidency. In other words, January 6 happened three years ago, and the number of Americans who are thinking about January 6 is relegated to Joe Biden and his campaign. Most Americans are concerned about how they put food on the table today, and that’s your fault, because you’re the president. It doesn’t matter who I think won the presidency. You are the president. You’ve been the president since January 2021, and you’ve been terrible at it.” That’s the answer on January 6. Shapiro posted a lengthy thread on X outlining the message from The New York Times and explained what their agenda was. “What, precisely, is NYT doing?” he wrote. “It’s perfectly obvious: using research from Media Matters, a radical Left-wing organization whose sole purpose is destroying conservative media (see below), in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize and penalize any and all conservatives ONE WEEK FROM THE ELECTION.” “That’s the entire game here,” he continued. “Run an article in America’s ‘most trusted newspaper’ that declares pretty much every major conservative a purveyor of ‘misinformation’ on YouTube, thus strong-arming YouTube into taking action against conservatives. 3/ That’s the entire game here. Run an article in America’s “most trusted newspaper” that declares pretty much every major conservative a purveyor of “misinformation” on YouTube, thus strong-arming YouTube into taking action against conservatives. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 29, 2024 Shapiro noted that the claim that the report was about “election information” was false considering that he “always acknowledged that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.” “And if it is ‘election misinformation’ to point out the ‘rigging’ of the voting rules for election 2020, resulting in massive mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, then the NYT might want to talk to…the NYT and CBS News, for starters,” he said in a post that included screenshots from CBS News and ABC News’ FiveThirtyEight. Shapiro noted that even if someone does believe that President Joe Biden did not win the election, those claims are still protected under the First Amendment. “But that’s the point: you don’t have to purvey ‘misinformation’ to be the target. You just have to support Trump,” he continued. “This is totally scandalous. In 2020, the legacy media shut down dissemination of the Hunter Biden laptop story and laundered the claim that it was all Russian disinformation, all to get Joe Biden elected.” He continued, “In 2024, they’re even more brazen: they’re openly trying to intimidate YouTube, one of the most dominant news platforms in America, into shutting down anyone who isn’t pro-Kamala.” Shapiro posted a graphic from the Pew Research Center that showed more than a quarter of adults in the U.S. get their news from YouTube. 8/ In 2024, they’re even more brazen: they’re openly trying to intimidate YouTube, one of the most dominant news platforms in America, into shutting down anyone who isn’t pro-Kamala. pic.twitter.com/nwbwfRY3zf — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 29, 2024 “Again, understand the mission from these supposed guardians of free speech and American liberty: silence the opposition the WEEK BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTION,” he continued. “They can’t get away with it, and they won’t. If ever you doubted that The New York Times is part of the Democrat-Media Human Centipede (see below), doubt no longer.” Shapiro posted screenshots of headlines by The New York Times Editorial Board and its columnists, and news division during the same time frame that Media Matters conducted its search. The examples included: The newspaper endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris with a headline that stated: “The Only Patriotic Choice for President.” A columnist from far-left writer Jamelle Bouie that said: “JD Vance’s Blood-and-Soil Nationalism Finds Its Target.” A report titled: “At Mar-a-Lago, Extremism is Good for Business.” A headline that consumed the entire front page of the newspaper’s opinion section that said: “DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL PROSECUTE HIS ENEMIES, ORDER MASS DEPORTATIONS, USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS, ABANDON ALLIES, PLAY POLITICS WITH DISASTERS. BELIEVE HIM.” Shapiro concluded the thread by posting: “So, The New York Times wants comment? Here’s my comment: kindly, go f*** yourself.” X owner Elon Musk responded to Shapiro’s post: “The New York Times is a threat to our democracy.” The New York Times is a threat to our democracy https://t.co/uF9lMuCh5j — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 29, 2024 Other media figures who posted screenshots of similar messages that they received from The New York Times included Andrew Klavan, host of “The Andrew Klavan Show”, Tucker Carlson, head of the Tucker Carlson Network; and Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee.
