Late on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump once again shot down a second debate against Vice President Kamala Harris in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election cycle. After the conclusion of the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz, Harris’ team released a statement that made another call for a second face-off against Trump before the November contest. “Vice President Harris believes that the American people deserve to see her and Trump on the debate stage one more time. She will be in Atlanta on October 23 – Donald Trump should step up and face the voters,” said Harris campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon. On Truth Social, Trump responded, “Lyin’ Kamala just put out a request for another Debate because they lost so badly tonight – Again, it’s like the fighter who lost, gets up and says, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.'” Trump went on to say he “beat” former President Joe Biden and “then beat” Harris. He added: “I’m not looking to do it again, too far down the line. Votes are already cast – And I’m leading BIG in the Polls. I’ll MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, she’s incapable of it!” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Back in June, CNN held the first 2024 general election presidential debate. Trump faced off against Biden, whose fumbling performance sparked a crisis of confidence among his allies. Biden then stepped aside under pressure. When Harris became the Democratic Party’s nominee in early August, Trump floated three debates against her: a Fox News debate on September 4, an ABC News debate on September 10, and an NBC News debate on September 25. Harris accepted the ABC debate, but her team refused to commit to a second one until after the first ended. When it did, Harris’ team called for a second match in October. But, within a few days, Trump declared that he would not do another debate. Harris accepted an invitation for a CNN debate on October 23 in Atlanta anyway. The suggested Fox News date was ultimately used for a town hall with Trump and the NBC debate never happened. Harris’ team also rejected a dare by Vance to have Walz do a second VP debate hosted by CNN after the one held by CBS on Tuesday. Polls show that Harris performed better in the ABC debate despite the moderators facing backlash from the Right for how they dealt with Trump. Early surveys indicate Vance edged out Walz on Tuesday. The overall race looks close.

On Tuesday night at the vice presidential debate, GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance contended that the massive influx of illegal immigrants was causing housing prices to rise. When moderator Margaret Brennan challenged his assertion, he replied that after the debate, he would publish remarks from the Federal Reserve Board that supported his contention, which he did only hours after the debate ended. Speaking on the issue, Vance stated at the debate, “We do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does drive up costs, Tim. Twenty-five million illegal aliens competing with Americans for scarce homes is one of the most significant drivers of home prices in the country. It’s why we have massive increases in home prices that have happened right alongside massive increases in illegal alien, alien populations under Kamala Harris’s leadership. …We have a lot of Americans that need homes. We should be kicking out illegal immigrants who are competing for those homes, and we should be building more homes for the American citizens who deserve to be here.” Brennan then interjected, “But, Senator, on that point, I’d like for you to clarify. There are many contributing factors to high housing costs. What evidence do you have that migrants are part of this problem?” “Well, there’s a Federal Reserve study that we’re happy to share after the debate,” Vance replied. “We’ll put it up on social media. Actually, that really drills down on the connection between increased levels of migration, especially illegal immigration, and higher housing prices. Now, of course, Margaret, that’s not the entire driver of higher housing prices. It’s also the regulatory regime of Kamala Harris. Look, we are a country of builders. We’re a country of doers. We’re a country of explorers. But we increasingly have a Federal administration that makes it harder to develop our resources, makes it harder to build things, and wants to throw people in jail for not doing everything exactly as Kamala Harris says that they have to do. And what that means is that you have a lot of people who would love to build homes who aren’t able to build homes.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! A few hours later, Vance published remarks from Michelle W. Bowman, who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since 2018 and spoke at the Massachusetts Bankers Association Annual Convention in Key Biscayne, Florida, on May 3. Vance wrote on X, “As promised earlier tonight, here is Michelle Bowman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.” Bowman stated: There is a risk that strong consumer demand for services, increased immigration, and continued labor market tightness could lead to persistently high core services inflation. Given the current low inventory of affordable housing, the inflow of new immigrants to some geographic areas could result in upward pressure on rents, as additional housing supply may take time to materialize. Wage growth has remained at an elevated rate of between 4 and 5 percent, still higher than the pace consistent with our 2 percent inflation goal given trend productivity growth.

Tributes have been paid to police dog Gizmo, who was based at Loch Ryan, Scotland, after passing away on August 08 after a period of illness. Police Scotland Dumfries & Galloway announced the police dog’s passing on Tuesday, September 24. According to the Police Divisions, the 11-year-old Sprocker Spaniel had a 10-year career as a police dog. And during Gizmo’s time as a police dog, he was able to sniff out drugs worth $12 million in the area and across the country. Aside from sniffing out drugs, Gizmo also worked at major events such as state visits, music events, and sporting events. Gizmo was first introduced by Police Scotland on Christmas in 2014 when he just joined the border policing team at Loch Ryan Port. In 2015, Gizmo became the successor of another amazing police dog, Buster. Buster retired after a successful career that lasted for 7 years. During Buster’s time as a police dog, he was able to detect over $7 million worth of drugs in Scotland. In a June 2015 Facebook post, Police Scotland wrote, “One year old Gizmo is taking over Buster’s search duties – hunting for weapons, drugs, cash, stolen items and explosives. He learnt a lot from Buster in the day they spent working together.” And after learning from the best, Gizmo went on to become one of, if not the most talented, police dog in Scotland. In 2022 alone, Gizmo, after working with Border Police, was able to find cannabis with an estimated street value of $1.5 million at the seaports in a village in Scotland called Cairnryan. Detective Sergeant David Hanlon said: “We are deeply saddened by the death of Police Dog Gizmo, who was a fundamental part of our team.” “Police dogs are a crucial support in our work to keep our communities safe and deter crime.” “Gizmo was a valued colleague, and he will be sadly missed, especially by his former handler.”
