Trump Threatens CBS with Lawsuit for Concealing Kamala’s ’60 Minutes’ Transcript.

Former President Donald J. Trump‘s legal team has threatened legal action against CBS News if the network does not publish the full transcript of its 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The controversy centers on differing versions of Harris’s response to a question about Israel. A promotional clip of the interview showed a long, rambling answer. However, the version of the interview that went to air shows an entirely different, more assured answer, with the original not present even in the interview’s written transcript.

Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik, representing Trump, accuses CBS of manipulative editing intended to confuse voters about Harris’s capabilities, presenting her in a more favorable light. He argues that news outlets have a duty to present accurate information rather than skew interviews to benefit a preferred candidate. Trump’s legal team has requested the release of the complete, unedited transcript to the public, emphasizing the network’s obligation to retain all related documents and communications for potential litigation.

CBS claims the disparity results from using different sections of the same answer in their programming. A statement released by 60 Minutes says that an excerpt given to Face the Nation included a lengthier segment than what was eventually broadcast. The network maintains that the excerpts were part of one consistent response—but the originally released version of Harris’s answer is not just longer, it is completely different.

On Truth Social, Trump denounced the editing as potentially the biggest scandal in broadcast history and demanded CBS release the full transcript, alleging that Harris’s response was altered significantly to enhance her image.

FCC Commissioner Says Facebook is Censoring Factually Accurate Critiques of Kamala Harris.

U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr is criticizing Facebook, owned by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta conglomerate, for censoring factually accurate content critical of the Biden-Harris regime. Carr took to X (formerly Twitter) to expose a case where Facebook flagged a post that accurately pointed out the failure of a Harris-led rural broadband expansion initiative, labeling it as “false information” despite the post being truthful.

The censored post highlighted that the Biden-Harris government promised to spend $42 billion to expand Internet coverage across the U.S., yet to date, no households or businesses have actually been connected under the plan. According to Carr, the post was flagged by one of Facebook’s so-called “fact-checkers,” who are often criticized for biased assessments. While the post wasn’t removed outright, Facebook’s algorithms significantly reduced its visibility, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitting that flagged posts receive 95 percent fewer clicks and up to 47 percent fewer shares.

Carr noted the irony of the “fact-checkers” citing officials from the very government being criticized to issue their “false information” rating. He stressed that the censorship is taking place despite the fact that “Zuckerberg promised Congress that it had stopped censoring posts at the behest of the Biden-Harris Administration.”

Carr has long accused Big Tech of political and ideological bias, asserting that platforms like Meta and Google are “building in” bias into their algorithms, which control everything from search results to artificial intelligence (AI) outputs. He has called this trend a significant threat to freedom of expression and an “existential crisis for democracy.”

Just 28% of Men in Georgia Support Kamala Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presidential campaign continues to struggle to win over male voters. A new survey in Georgia shows the Democratic candidate with just 28 percent support among men in the Peach State. Conducted by the University of Georgia’s Survey Research Center on behalf of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the poll finds former President Donald J. Trump capturing 59 percent of male voters.

The survey suggests a substantial gender gap affects Harris’ campaign prospects in the crucial southern swing state, which offers 16 electoral votes. Harris’s approval rating among men stands at just 29 percent, with 59 percent disapproving of her performance. Meanwhile, Trump’s near two-to-one margin among male voters is a significant factor in his overall 47 percent to 43 percent lead over Harris in Georgia, according to the poll.

The gender gap does show a different picture among women, where Harris leads with 55 percent support compared to Trump’s 37 percent. However, this advantage is not sufficient to close the overall gap. In terms of age demographics, Trump leads across most groups except for the 30 to 44-year-olds, where Harris has a 10-point lead. Trump holds sway among 18 to 29-year-olds by eight points, 45 to 64-year-olds by 10 points, and seniors by two points.

Racial demographics also play a role in the current standings. Trump has substantial support from white voters, with 66 percent backing him against Harris’ 28 percent. Conversely, Harris garners 74 percent support from black voters, though 18 percent remain undecided, which is an increase from previous surveys.

Internal Democratic support poses a concern for Harris, with 11 percent of Democrats undecided despite her receiving 88 percent backing from the party. Meanwhile, 95 percent of Republicans support Trump. The survey further notes the competitive race for the vice presidency in Georgia, with Republican J.D. Vance holding a slight edge over Democrat Tim Walz in approval ratings.

Overall, 41 percent of respondents believe Trump will likely win in November, while 39 percent think Harris will emerge victorious.

Fake and Nasty Yelp Reviews Bombard the McDonald’s Trump Worked At This Weekend.

A McDonald’s restaurant in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, attracted significant attention after former president and Republican nominee Donald J. Trump held a campaign event there on Sunday, prompting a series of fake and negative reviews on Yelp. During the media event, Trump performed tasks typically carried out by McDonald’s employees, such as frying and serving food to drive-thru customers, pre-vetted for obvious security reasons.

Following Trump’s visit, a surge of malicious “reviews” appeared on the business’s Yelp page, with users mockingly referencing the 2020 election and the lawfare cases against the former president. As a result of this influx, Yelp intervened by temporarily suspending the ability to post new content on the restaurant’s page. A warning issued by the site cited “unusual activity” and indicated that the page had drawn increased attention due to current events. This step by Yelp aims to preserve the integrity of reviews on the site, ensuring that they pertain to real customer interactions instead of becoming a venue for political commentary.

The America First leader’s shift at McDonald’s was partly motivated by Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’s questionable claims to have worked at the fast food chain in her youth. The company has no record of her having worked there, and to date, she has produced no photographic or other evidence to support her claims, with Trump alleging she had made the story up.

Harris often misrepresents her past, claiming, for instance, that her Indian grandfather was an “independence fighter” when the country was under British control. In fact, he worked for the British imperial government.

Similarly, Harris has lied about her past support for a fracking ban—which would destroy many Pennsylvanian jobs—and the decriminalization of illegal border crossings, among other extreme-left policy positions.

Voting Chaos as Election Websites Crash.

Several county election websites in Florida experienced outages this week as early in-person voting commenced across the state. These disruptions impacted sites containing essential state election information, including voting locations and times.

According to state election officials, an investigation is ongoing to determine the cause. Initial suggestions point to heavy web traffic as a potential factor. The websites appeared to have been restored to working order by Tuesday.

VR Systems, a Tallahassee-based tech company providing hosting services for these election sites, acknowledged some sites began experiencing crashes last week. However, the company insists there is currently “no indication of malicious activity,” ruling out cyberattacks for the time being.

This incident echoes a similar situation from August, when county election websites faced outages, igniting fears of possible cyberattacks. Although the Florida Secretary of State, Cord Byrd, initially did not dismiss the possibility of hacking, VR Systems later accepted responsibility for the glitches.

Some counties, like Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas, offered backup versions of their websites, ensuring the availability of vital information for voters. Joe Scott, the election supervisor for Broward County, expressed concerns that the issues could be linked to those from the summer. However, VR Systems claims that significant changes were implemented, and outside experts were consulted to prevent recurrence.

Despite the website disruptions, in-person voting in Florida continued unaffected. Wesley Wilcox, the elections supervisor in Marion County, reported a strong early voter turnout. “All my early voting sites opened at 8 AM, and there were people in line at every one of them,” he said.

Anti-Trump Election Chief is Raising MILLIONS to STOP Election Integrity Efforts.

Georgia’s top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, is fundraising for a nonprofit lawfare group that he claims will target any activists or election officials who raise concerns regarding voter fraud. Election Defense Fund, Inc.—a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization—was founded in 2023 and appears to be run by Ryan Germany, the former General Counsel for  Raffensperer.

In a recent fundraising email for the Election Defense Fund, Raffensperger—who says he intends to raise $5 million for the group before the November election—specifically targeted Georgia State Election Board members Dr. Jan Johnson, Janelle King, and Rick Jeffries. The three election officials recently spearheaded several major election integrity efforts and changes to the state’s election rules regarding ballot counting.

“Election deniers and conspiracy theorists have taken their anger to new levels, employing a variety of tactics including intimidation, legal challenges, and rule changes,” Raffensperger writes. “In Georgia they have threatened, harassed, and sued election officials. And as you know, most recently the Georgia State Election Board was taken over by three individuals who have pledged to put partisanship over sworn duty,” he alleges.

While Raffensperger’s involvement in an outside lawfare group is concerning on its own, Germany’s involvement raises additional problems. During the 2020 presidential election, Germany stonewalled attempts to audit election results in Fulton County, drawing the ire of President Donald J. Trump.

A phone call between Trump and Germany later resulted in one of the charges brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in her RICO prosecution of the former president and his allies. However, in March of this year, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed that specific charge—along with several others.

Laura Loomer Sues Bill Maher for $150 Million Over Trump Sex Smear.

Conservative journalist Laura Loomer is looking to sue television host Bill Maher for $150 million after he insinuated she was engaged in a sexual relationship with former President Donald J. Trump. Loomer has filed a defamation suit in Sumter County, Florida, against the Real Time With Bill Maher host. She alleges that Maher made defamatory statements about her during a September 13, 2024, broadcast on HBO.

According to the legal documents, Maher suggested on his show that Loomer might be involved in a relationship with President Trump to influence the election. He added that Loomer, 31, fits his “type,” stirring controversy by implying a personal relationship. Loomer has strongly refuted these claims, stressing that she has no romantic involvement with Trump and that Maher’s statements lack any evidence.

Loomer accuses Maher and HBO of fabricating the story to gain attention and notoriety. She maintains that Maher’s claims are false and without basis, suggesting it was a strategic move to boost the show’s ratings and increase its visibility.

Trump commented on Maher’s remarks through his social media platform, Truth Social, criticizing the host and his show.

The lawsuit names both Maher and HBO as defendants, with Loomer asserting that the network acted in concert with Maher in promoting the statements.

Maher has been consistently anti-Trump for years and claims that a second Trump presidency could see him become a dictator. Earlier this year, he said he thought it was likely that Trump would win in November.

Maher has also not been overly keen on Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. In March, he suggested that Joe Biden should replace her on the ticket with Republican former Governor Nikki Haley. However, Biden himself later dropped out of the race, with Harris replacing him as the Democratic nominee.

Kamala Insists She’s Not on Weed Gummies.

Vice President Kamala Harris denied using marijuana-infused “gummies” to manage the stress of her presidential campaign during a town hall in Royal Oak, Michigan, on Monday. Harris was pressed on stress management by Kennedy clan member and former First Lady of California Maria Shriver—who moderated the event.

Shriver rattled off a series of stress relief strategies she had heard from her friends. “‘I have to turn off the news, I can’t read anything, I’m meditating, I’m doing yoga. I’m so anxious … I’m eating gummies.’ All kinds of things,” Shriver said before asking Harris: “What are you doing?”

“I’m not eating gummies,” Harris cackled in response.


While the Biden-Harris government has moved to lift some federal restrictions on the drug cannabis, the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee has faced backlash over her aggressive prosecution of drug cases as a district attorney.

Despite her past stance as a prosecutor, Harris has backed the nationwide legalization of marijuana. Last week, she publicly supported the move toward legalizing the drug across the country in the hopes the move will appeal to young black male voters.

During the 2020 presidential election, Harris acknowledged using marijuana in college—triggering accusations of hypocrisy, given her stance while serving as a prosecutor. Her father, a Jamaican Marxist, also publicly chastised her for encouraging negative stereotypes about Jamaicans and drug abuse.

Ken Paxton Takes Major Step in Alleged ActBlue ‘Straw Donations’ Case.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken a major step in his ongoing investigation into the Democrat-aligned fundraising platform ActBlue, alleging that it is being exploited by suspicious actors to make straw donations. In a formal Petition for Rulemaking sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Paxton highlights concerns about fraudulent contributions using prepaid cards, which could undermine the integrity of U.S. elections.

Paxton launched an investigation into ActBlue in December 2023 to assess whether its fundraising practices comply with federal law. By August 2024, the investigation had prompted ActBlue to finally introduce a requirement for credit card donors to provide CVV codes—a basic security measure. However, Paxton argues this step is insufficient, as his team continues to uncover evidence of straw donations using false identities and untraceable payment methods, posing serious risks to election transparency.

In his petition, Paxton urges the FEC to close fundraising loopholes that allow foreign money and illegal contributions to flow through platforms like ActBlue. He criticizes ActBlue’s prior opposition to regulations to address vulnerabilities, stating that their stance is “no longer tenable” in light of the investigation’s findings.

“Our investigation reveals that bad actors are using ActBlue to funnel illegal contributions into U.S. elections, including foreign money and donations exceeding legal limits,” Paxton says. He is calling on the FEC to act swiftly, warning that without new regulations, these loopholes will continue to compromise the integrity of the electoral system.

Paxton’s intervention follows GOP strategist Mark Block, Internet famous as the “Smoking Man” in a Herman Cain campaign advertisement, reporting someone stole his identity to make over $880 in donations to Kamala Harris and the LGBTQ-focused Equality PAC without his approval.

Fox News Decision Desk Chief Says Election Might Not be Called for 4 Days.

Fox News Decision Desk chief Arnon Mishkin has indicated that the outcome of the 2024 presidential election might not be confirmed for several days after Election Day. In an interview with POLITICO, Mishkin attributed this potential delay to the vote-counting processes in several key swing states, including Pennsylvania. He suggested it could take up to four days to determine the winner.

Mishkin commented on the closeness of the race, stating, “The race seems very, very close.” He pointed out that results from crucial states like Pennsylvania might follow historical reporting patterns, potentially leading to the announcement of the winner by Saturday, similar to the situation during the previous election cycle. Mishkin’s projections and experience hold considerable weight as he has led the Fox News Decision Desk since 2008. Notably, during the 2020 election, he accurately called Arizona for Joe Biden earlier than other media outlets, a move that drew criticism from Donald Trump’s supporters.

Discussing the current political landscape, Mishkin expressed mixed views on Donald Trump’s standing, suggesting the former president could be either gaining or losing ground. He highlighted uncertainties in polling data, noting, “There’s some reporting that Trump is sort of gaining… there’s another sense I have that actually he may be declining.” Mishkin emphasized that the 2024 election might hinge more on Trump’s trajectory than his opponent.
