The DA rejected her case

'Many, many ways she could have answered that'

'This is a very, very close race'

And to make things even sweeter: These boys won me a parlay

'she's a hard leftist'

As former President Donald Trump’s lead in the Electoral College widens over Vice President Kamala Harris, the national media is pulling out all the stops. The latest example: flagrant media bias at CBS News in favor of Harris. Conservatives are taking aim at CBS for what appears to be its attempts to polish Harris’ sloppy speaking style. Harris, known for her meme-worthy, strange verbal meanderings, gave a disjointed, word-salad answer during a “60 Minutes” interview about Israel.  Harris’ unvarnished response first aired on CBS’ Sunday show “Face the Nation,” but didn’t appear in the version that aired on a special Monday edition of “60 Minutes.”  Instead, the network ran a more concise, articulate response from Harris.  This begs the question of whether the Harris campaign pressured CBS News to airbrush her verbal gaffe. CBS must release an unedited copy of the Harris interview to restore its integrity with voters. This would help restore trust among the network’s audience even as public trust in the national media plummets. The veteran polling organization Gallup found trust in television media to be at the lowest point in nearly a quarter century. As someone who has been a frequent guest on CBS programs, I know the network has producers who value evenhandedness, and I appeal to their better angels to do the right thing and come clean. “We do not control CBS’ production decisions and refer questions to CBS,” a Harris campaign aide said in a statement to Fox News Digital.  Will CBS release all correspondence with the Harris campaign to verify this? Trump took notice, posting Wednesday on Truth Social:  This comes also as CBS faces heat for attacking its own “CBS Mornings” co-anchor Tony Dokoupil for his interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates, an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas author who previously wrote comic books, including Marvel Comics’ Black Panther and Captain America titles. CBS’ attack on its own anchor was so blatant that even Shari Redstone, chair of CBS’ parent company Paramount Global, publicly defended Dokoupil. Redstone disagreed with network executives’ behavior in throwing Dokoupil under the bus simply for asking Coates tough questions.  These two episodes sum things up well: CBS News would rather be a propaganda organ for Harris, a Democratic candidate who has not won a single electoral vote in a national primary, than ask tough questions like real journalists do.  How is CBS serving democracy by doing this?  Carrie Sheffield is a senior policy analyst at Independent Women’s Voice.

The Biden administration has turned to Japan repeatedly to bolster our national security, especially vis-a-vis China. But when it comes to allowing a Japanese company to acquire U.S. Steel, the administration seems to be conjuring up national security excuses to oppose it. In response to Chinese aggression, the U.S. and Japan announced in April enhanced military cooperation between the two countries, including a joint command structure and a new missile-defense network. President Joe Biden in April called it “the most significant upgrade in our alliance since it was first established” and a “new benchmark for our military cooperation.” Biden and then-Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also announced deals for sensitive technology, including artificial intelligence, and the accelerated development and commercialization of nuclear fusion. Overall, our two countries struck about 70 new agreements on defense cooperation this year. Separately, when the Biden administration identified Chinese-built cranes at U.S. ports as a national security risk, it turned to a Japanese company instead to produce these advanced cranes. In other words, when the U.S. faces the most sensitive and challenging national security risks, it turns to its trusted ally Japan. Yet the Biden administration is reportedly poised to block a Japanese company from acquiring U.S. Steel on national security grounds—a move that reeks of political self-interest. The administration sent Nippon Steel a letter saying the acquisition would undermine national security because it would supposedly reduce American steel production. It’s no surprise that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would come to such a conclusion after Biden openly stated his desire for the deal to be thwarted. It was a highly unusual decision that disregarded the independence with which the committee is supposed to conduct its review of foreign investments. The idea Nippon’s investment would threaten national security is preposterous and ignores our countries’ deeply intertwined national security commitments. It also strains credulity that Nippon would reduce, rather than increase, steel production in the U.S. after making such a major investment. The committee’s reported findings are especially suspect considering Nippon Steel already owns American steel companies, including Standard Steel in Pennsylvania and Wheeling-Nippon Steel in West Virginia. Nippon Steel bidDownload Biden’s opposition comes from his fealty to labor unions, in this case the United Steelworkers. The union’s senior leadership opposes the deal, having aligned itself with Cleveland-Cliffs, a competing bidder. The latter has a cozier relationship with the union and offered about half as much as Nippon. The administration has been candid with its Japanese counterparts, privately telling Japanese diplomats that the president’s opposition reflects his party’s need for the United Steelworkers’ support in the election. It’s a concession that national security risks from the deal are negligible, but perceived political risks reign supreme. U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt has acknowledged that without Nippon Steel’s significant investments, “thousands of good-paying union jobs” would be put at risk. Nippon has pledged to invest $2.7 billion in U.S. Steel’s facilities, including $1 billion for its Monongahela Valley facility near Pittsburgh. That would keep the plants open that employ U.S. Steel workers, who would also benefit from Nippon’s promise not to impose any layoffs. It’s why rank-and-file U.S. Steel employees have broken with the USW leadership to support the acquisition. But Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris would rather acquiesce to union executives than protect steelworkers’ jobs. In her recent interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, Harris was asked about the lost jobs that would come from nixing the Nippon deal. She deflected and answered that it’s “most important that we maintain America’s ability to have American manufacturing of steel by American workers.” Of course, the best way to preserve American steel manufacturing is to ensure that U.S. Steel facilities receive investment, remain operating, and continue employing American workers. Harris’ economic campaign plan says her administration would place “a special focus on rewarding reinvestment, retooling, and rehiring in long-standing steel and iron communities like those in Pennsylvania’s Mon Valley.” Yet when Nippon comes knocking with $1 billion in hand to invest, Harris would slam the door. Harris said in her MSNBC interview what she understands “the importance of investing in new industries and working actively with the private sector to grow our economy.” Evidently, however, she and Biden do not.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida once again excoriated Vice President Kamala Harris for trying to insert herself into disaster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Milton. DeSantis made the comments on Thursday when asked by a CBS News reporter about her accusations that he had not taken her phone call about helping the affected residents. 'As the governor here, who’s leading this, I don’t have time for those games. I don’t care about her campaign.' “I didn’t even know she was trying to reach me, but she has no role in this process. And I’ve been dealing with these storms in Florida under both [former President] Trump and Biden. Neither of them ever politicized it. And, in fact, all the storms I’ve dealt with under this administration, although I’ve worked well with the president, she has never called in Florida. She has never offered any support,” said the governor. Harris had started the feud with the governor by accusing him of snubbing her in order to politicize the disaster response. DeSantis fired back at the suggestion with his own fiery statement. "My focus has not been on dealing with Kamala Harris," said the governor last week. "I didn't know she tried to contact me, but I'd also say, it's not about you, Kamala."Oddly enough, President Joe Biden appeared to undermine Harris' attack on DeSantis, leading some to speculate that the president was getting revenge for being shoved out of his re-election campaign. DeSantis went on Thursday to elaborate on this criticism against Harris. “So, what she’s doing is she’s trying to inject herself into this because of her political campaign," he added. "So, as the governor here who’s leading this, I don’t have time for those games. I don’t care about her campaign. Obviously, I’m not a supporter of hers.”Hurricane Milton made landfall late Wednesday in Siesta Key and caused major damage while spawning numerous tornadoes. Five deaths have already been attributed to the storm. Exclusive video captured by Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas showed disaster relief efforts in Clearwater, Florida in the storm's aftermath. Rosas said the relief efforts he documented were organized by Clearwater Police, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, and Florida Fish and Wildlife. Floodwaters reached as high as eight feet in some areas.The hurricane caused electricity to be knocked out for 3 million people in the region and utterly destroyed the roof of the Tropicana baseball stadium, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays.
