Vice President Kamala Harris was unable to name anything that she would do differently than President Joe Biden when again confronted about the matter this week. Harris made the remarks during a brief interview Friday afternoon with NBC News reporter Peter Alexander on the campaign trail in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “What is one policy that you would have done differently over these last three and a half years than President Biden?” Alexander asked. “I mean, to be very candid with you, even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents,” she said. “I think that really actually, in terms of the tradition of it, and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship.” WATCH: ??? “What is one policy that you would’ve done differently over these last 3.5 years than Pres.

MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “And I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,” she noted. When asked about the matter by CBS’ Stephen Colbert, Harris said, “Well, I’m obviously not Joe Biden. So that would be one change in terms of … but also, I think it’s important to say with 28 days to go, I’m not Donald Trump.” Harris was again asked the same question during an interview with Bret Baier this week. “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” she declared. “And like every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership.” Related: Kamala Signals She’s Open To Spending Trillions On Racial Reparations

Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman made us laugh and sometimes cry as Reba Hart and Barbara Jean Booker Hart on Reba. Their chemistry and comedic timing worked together beautifully. They made us fall in love with two characters who loved to hate each other. Interestingly, sometimes they even loved to love each other. Reba aired for six seasons from 2001 to 2007. Sadly, when it went off the air, fans missed the women working together. It took a very long time, but Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman are back in Happy’s Place. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NBC Entertainment (@nbc) Reba McEntire’s New Show “Happy’s Place” Brings Together Some Familiar Faces Happy’s Place stars Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman, and it looks like another fan favorite, Steve Howey, who you might remember as Van Montgomery, also taped an episode. Melissa told Entertainment Tonight that even though it’s been nearly two decades since the old Reba crew is back together, it feels like “no time has passed.” Happy’s Place is a sitcom about a woman who inherits a restaurant from her deceased father and has to share ownership with a new sister she never knew existed. Thankfully, Reba McEntire’s signature sass plays a key role in Happy’s Place, and Melissa Peterman’s inclusion as a bubbly sidekick is refreshing. Happy’s Place premieres on October 18 on NBC, and the network shared a sneak peek on YouTube. Needless to say, Reba McEntire fans can’t wait to watch. “I already knew I was gonna love this show,” a Reba fan wrote. This person can’t wait. “I’m ready for Reba, Melissa, Rex, and the gang for Friday night!!!” And of course, the super fans are in. Like this person, “I love this woman!! I’ll listen to any song she releases or any series she puts out. Reba is one of those rare talents that you already know you’ll enjoy whatever it is because you enjoy her. It’s that simple. You know what you’re getting with Reba. So yes, I’ll be watching and I’ll be a fan of it. I’m sure of that.” This story’s featured image is by Kathy Hutchins via Shutterstock.

'An issue for Kamala'

'And Iran will be shaken by one more setback'

Bill Adair, Duke University journalism professor and founder of the “fact-checking” site PolitiFact, indulged his warped scales with a sympathetic host on tax-funded PBS, sending out a fair-and-balanced message: Republicans love to lie! Guest host Bianna Golodryga encapsulated Adair’s ideological view in her introduction. Bianna Golodryga: As Americans gear up for the election, our next guest warns of an epidemic of lying in U.S. politics, particularly within the Republican Party. Bill Adair joins Michel Martin to discuss his new book, "Beyond the Big Lie." As founder of fact-checking website PolitiFact, he is well placed to account for where disinformation comes from, how it spreads, and the danger that it poses to democracy. The full title of Adair’s book laid out his prejudice: Beyond the Big Lie: The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do It More, and How It Could Burn Down Our Democracy. Does that sound like the stance of an objective truth-seeker trying to win you over by argument? Or more of a partisan Democratic hack? Journalist Michel Martin prodded Adair to tell his heroic origin story, his founding of PolitiFact in 2007 while Washington bureau chief for what’s now the Tampa Bay Times. Martin: The other thing you say in the book, and this is something that obviously we're seeing play out right now in the current election season, you say Republicans do it more. Why is that? Adair: So, that has been apparent to me really since before I started PolitiFact. When I was covering Congress, I remember thinking, you know, there's just a lot more, at the time, stretching the truth and lying coming from Republicans. I covered the Capitol, and whatever the issue was, I would just find that Republicans took more liberties. And then, when I became editor of PolitiFact, and we started PolitiFact in 2007, we really saw it firsthand. And if you think about the 2008 presidential campaign, that was Sarah Palin, it was Joe the Plumber, then came Obamacare and all the lies about Obamacare….I don't think there's any question that pattern was true and is particularly true now [with Trump]. (Oddly, Adair skipped a rare moment of PolitiFact balance, when his organization crowned Barack Obama with the 2013 “Lie of the Year” for his false claim that “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” under his administration’s convoluted universal health insurance scheme known as Obamacare.) Adair said the Republicans he talked to (both current and former) “put the turning point in the early 1990s when Newt Gingrich took over the House Republicans.” In other words, when Republicans started fighting aggressively and took over the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. And of course, Fox News and talk radio, “that not only doesn't question the lies from Republicans, but echoes them and even profits from them.” PolitiFact has had a long culture of unacknowledged Democratic partisanship since its inception, as NewsBusters has long documented. Just one recent example of tilt, as noted by NewsBusters Tim Graham: "On September 4, Trump was rated as 'Pants on Fire' for calling Kamala Harris a 'communist.' But Democrats and leftists (even TV hosts) have called Trump a 'fascist.' Search PolitiFact for a harsh rating on that, and you won’t find any fact check." Asked by Martin why don’t Democrats lie more if it’s so effective, Adair responded in a way that would surely puff up a self-righteous liberal fit to burst. Adair: The Democrats are stopped from lying by two things. One, I don't think they believe it's as effective as the Republicans do. They also don't have the media ecosystem that would egg them on the way that the conservative ecosystem does. And they also feel shame in ways that I'm afraid too many politicians on the right do not…. Adair has even thought up capricious, whimsical ways to punish Republican politicians for disagreeing with people who think like Adair: “…how about charging more to politicians who have worse records for lying and charging lower rates for politicians that have better records….”
