Kamala Harris is seeking to change the terms of her ABC debate with former President Donald J. Trump, with the America First leader’s camp saying her team wanted a sit-down debate with opening statements and notes. Harris has already backed out of a debate on the less-friendly Fox News network in front of a “full arena audience.”
Harris’s camp is currently quibbling over whether or not microphones should remain “hot” while the rival candidates are not speaking. Trump, who asked for hot mics in 2020, agreed to muted mics and no audience for the upcoming ABC debate and his previous CNN debate against Joe Biden—with the Democrats being the ones who put forward these demands. Now, Harris’s team is asking for mics to be left hot on ABC after all and criticizing Trump for declining to reopen the negotiations—to distract from the fact Harris has been demanding even more favorable terms than Biden.
“Enough with the games. We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate. The Harris camp, after having already agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements. We said no changes to the agreed upon rules,” said Jason Miller, senior adviser to President Trump.
“If Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to repeat the messaging points her handlers want her to memorize, that’s their problem,” Miller continued.
“This seems to be a pattern for the Harris campaign. They won’t allow Harris to do interviews, they won’t allow her to do press conferences, and now they want to give her a cheat-sheet for the debate. My guess is that they’re looking for a way to get out of any debate with President Trump,” he concluded.

The Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS), responsible for “customs, border, and immigration enforcement, emergency response to natural and manmade disasters, antiterrorism work, and cybersecurity,” states that building “a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace” as the number one objective of its Information Technology Strategic Plan for 2024-2028.
“DHS strives to attract individuals across all levels of the DHS IT workforce, including senior leadership positions, that represent the diversity of the populations we serve,” states objective 1.1. of the plan.
“We will expand partnerships with diverse academic institutions, professional organizations, and communities and strengthen internship, rotation, and developmental programs that promote equitable access to career advancement for all employees,” it adds.
The document begins with a message from Chief Information Officer Eric Hysen, who formerly worked for Google, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, California Governor Gavin Newsom, the Penn Biden Center, and the Biden-Harris Transition Team. He also states up front in the DHS plan that “attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining diverse technology talent” who can “bring their authentic selves to work every day” is his top priority.
An obsession with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) also plagues the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), which often relies on DHS personnel to execute its duties.
A top official at the scandal-ridden agency, which almost allowed former President Donald J. Trump to be assassinated in July after a series of security lapses, described DEI as “mission imperative” and his “ultimate goal” in a 2023 podcast.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has created an interactive map showing the sanctuary states, cities, and counties established across the United States. Illegal aliens are encouraged to settle in these areas, where state and local authorities limit cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal bodies responsible for immigration control and deportations.
Courts and other authorities in sanctuary jurisdictions often ignore detainers lodged by ICE against migrants charged or convicted of crimes, resulting in criminal aliens being let loose among the public after leaving jail or prison.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, a former Senator and Attorney General for the sanctuary state of California, has been one of ICE’s fiercest critics, comparing their work to the actions of the Ku Klux Klan when she was a legislator.
A complete list of sanctuary states, cities, and counties identified by the CIS is provided under the map below. An interactive version of the map is available on the CIS website.

The former chief U.S. infectious disease “expert,” Anthony Fauci, was recently hospitalized with a West Nile virus infection. A spokesman said = Fauci is now recuperating at home and is anticipated to make a full recovery.
West Nile virus is primarily transmitted through bites from infected mosquitoes. Around 20 percent of infectees experience symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Approximately 1 in 150 people develop serious and potentially fatal conditions.
Fauci indicated the infection likely resulted from a mosquito bite in his backyard. He was hospitalized nearly 10 days ago after showing symptoms, including fever, chills, and severe fatigue.
There are no vaccines or specific treatments for West Nile virus. The best preventive measure remains avoiding mosquito bites. As of August 20 this year, the CDC had reported 216 cases across 33 states.

The Biden-Harris government will send approximately $125 million in new military assistance to Ukraine, according to U.S. officials. This move comes as Washington seeks a clearer understanding of Kiev’s recent escalation of the conflict with operations now being conducted within Russian territory.
The latest military aid package includes air defense missiles, munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelins, a variety of other anti-armor missiles, counter-drone and counter-electronic warfare systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, vehicles, and assorted equipment. Biden and Kamala Harris are providing the equipment through presidential drawdown authority. The aid is being supplied amid ongoing Ukrainian efforts to extend their surprising offensive into Russia.
U.S. taxpayers—through the actions of the Biden-Harris government– have likely spent over $200 billion on aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded the Eastern European country in late February 2022. Former President Donald J. Trump has promised to end the conflict swiftly should he retake the White House in November’s U.S. presidential election.
It is believed that the Democratic Party’s nominee, Kamala Harris, will continue Biden’s policies toward Ukraine, providing billions of dollars more in aid. However, Harris has not released detailed policy proposals for top-election issues, including Ukraine aid.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly secured approximately 100 square kilometers (62 square miles) of territory around Kursk. Concurrently, Russian troops are making advances in eastern Ukraine near Pokrovsk, a crucial logistic center. Should Pokrovsk fall, Ukraine‘s defenses would be significantly compromised, moving Russia closer to its goal of capturing the Donetsk region. Reports indicate Russian forces are now about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from the city.
The Biden-Harris government says it recognizes Ukraine‘s intention to create a border buffer zone, but further clarity is needed on how this fits into the overall war strategy.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a deadly knife attack in Solingen that killed three people. The statement, posted on the group’s Telegram account, mentioned that the attack was carried out in revenge for Muslims in ‘Palestine’ and around the world.
A 15-year-old has also been detained in connection with the incident, which occurred on Friday evening during the “Festival of Diversity” event near Dusseldorf. According to police, the suspect randomly targeted festival goers, leaving eight injured, five of them seriously. The police released a statement early on Saturday indicating that they are currently questioning both victims and witnesses.
BREAKING:
German police have arrested a 15-year-old boy for questioning in connection with yesterday’s suspected terror attack in Solingen, Germany.
The 15-year-old was arrested in the asylum center where he lives.
The stabbing spree, which police said took place around 9:45 PM in the city’s central square, saw the perpetrator specifically targeting the throats of his victims. However, authorities have not provided additional details or a potential motive for the attack.
Fatal stabbings and shootings are relatively uncommon in Germany, and the government has expressed intentions to introduce stricter regulations on the types of knives that can be carried in public. This follows several incidents, including the fatal stabbing of a 29-year-old police officer in Mannheim during a right-wing demonstration in June and a stabbing attack on a train in 2021 that injured several.
The details come as French cops respond to a synagogue bombing by a man wearing an Arab keffiyeh and a Palestinian flag.

The Houthi terrorist group, which controls a large portion of Yemen, is claiming responsibility for destroying a Greek tanker ship carrying crude oil from Iraq to Greece. Video of the aftermath shows the ship exploding and burning as it sits adrift in the Red Sea. According to the European Union (EU), an EU naval mission was able to rescue the sailors on board.
Since the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, Yemen’s Houthis have engaged in an extensive terror campaign against shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. However, the attack on the Greek-flagged Sounion is one of the most brazen strikes yet. The fact that the ship is Greek-owned and said under a Greek flag raises some concerns that the attack could trigger an Article 5 declaration by NATO, as Greece has been a member of the alliance since 1952.
A spokesman for the Houthi terrorist group claims the Greek ship “belongs to a company that have ties with the Israeli enemy and violated the ban decision of entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.” Despite the terrorist group’s assertion, the oil tanker’s official manifest states it was bound from Iraq to Greece and carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil.
Following initial land-to-sea missile strikes on both domestic and military ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region by the Houthis, the Biden-Harris government—in conjunction with the United Kingdom—has carried out sporadic air strikes against the group. However, the deterrence effort has thus far proved ineffective. The National Pulse reported in May that the Houthi terrorist group successfully downed a $30 million dollar drone and was able to capture the weapon, which appeared to be concerning in fair condition.

A whistleblower has claimed that the United States Secret Service (USSS) told agents not to request additional manpower ahead of the July 13 rally that saw former President Donald J. Trump shot by a would-be assassin. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) released a letter on Friday addressed to acting USSS Director Ronald Rowe Jr. alleging that a whistleblower had contradicted his testimony before a Senate hearing in which Rowe claimed no assets were denied to agents at the Butler, Pennslyvania rally.
Sen. Hawley‘s letter explains that agents can typically submit a request to the USSS‘s Office of Protective Operations—Manpower (OPO—Manpower). However, the whistleblower contends that agents assigned to former President Trump‘s detail had been told not to submit such requests, and any sent would be denied.
The revelation comes after several USSS agents were put on leave over the Trump shooting, including the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office and a member of Trump‘s personal security detail. Hawley, however, stated that it was not enough just to put several agents on leave. The Missouri Republican is asking Rowe to provide the name of the individual who told agents their requests would be denied and whether any disciplinary action has been taken against them.
In late July, Rowe, testifying before the Senate, denied accusations that the USSS had blocked requests for additional support and manpower. Additionally, the acting USSS Director repeatedly insisted that he had not personally rejected any requests.
The National Pluse reported shortly after Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Trump that the USSS was understaffed during the rally and that many of those present were inexperienced Homeland Security (DHS) agents rather than USSS agents.

A lawsuit filed by 16 state Attorneys General is aiming to block a Biden-Harris plan to grant amnesty to potentially over one million illegal immigrants. Led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, the filing asks a federal court to issue a temporary restraining order against the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Parole in Place (PIP) Program, which would allow some illegalimmigrants to adjust their legal status in contravention of existing law.
Under current U.S. federal law, illegalimmigrants already present in the United States are not allowed to adjust their status to being a Lawful Permanent Resident—though there are some exceptions to this rule. However, under the PIP, the Biden-HarrisDHS is claiming the “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit” exception to circumvent U.S. immigration law.
The coalition of state Attorneys General claims that the Biden-Harris government is abusing the humanitarian exception in instituting the PIP program. They contend that federal law is specific regarding what qualifies as a humanitarian exception and that DHS “cannot use that power to parole aliens en masse.” Additionally, the lawsuit argues that DHS parole power only applies to immigrants seeking to enter the United States and not those already present in the country illegally.
“Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the federal government is actively working to turn the United States into a nation without borders and a country without laws,” said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a statement announcing the lawsuit.
Paxton added: “Biden’s new parole workaround unilaterally grants the opportunity for citizenship to unvetted aliens whose first act on American soil was to break our laws. This violates the Constitution and actively worsens the illegal immigration disaster that is hurting Texas and our country.”

Hungary is threatening to send migrants directly to the European Union (EU) capital of Brussels, Belgium if disputes with the EU over penalties imposed on Hungary for controlling its borders are not resolved. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has imposed a €200 million (~$222.5 million) penalty and a daily fine of €1 million (~$1.1 million) on Hungary for turning away illegal immigrants at its border instead of allowing them to claim asylum.
Gergely Gulyas, who heads Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s office, says negotiations with the European Commission will begin in September. He warns that failure to reach an agreement will result in Hungary issuing “one-way tickets to Brussels” for migrants. Gulyas wants a swift resolution to the dispute to avoid daily fines piling up.
The European Commission has not commented on Gulyas’s remarks.
The current situation mirrors tensions in the United States, where pro-borders Texas is bussing illegal immigrants to states like New York, where state officials oppose a border wall construction and promote “sanctuary” policies.
The row is just the latest between the EU and Hungary. Orbán’s government also faces pushback from the bloc for a law banning the promotion of LGBT ideology to children in schools and media.
The EU is also clashing with Bulgaria over new legislation along similar lines.
