WATCH: Vance Slams Harris’s Mishandling of the Southern Border Crisis.

Former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, took Vice President Kamala Harris to task for the Biden-Harris government’s mishandling of the U.S. southern border crisis on a visit to Cochise County, Arizona, on Thursday. Vance expressed disbelief at the scale of the crisis, with Joe Biden having assigned Harris to tackle its “root causes” in 2021, emphasizing how hard it is to understand the severity of the situation without seeing it firsthand.

“Kamala Harris came into office making promises, and she kept those promises to open the American southern border,” Vance said.

“They stopped deportations on day one; they stopped construction of the border wall on day one. We see the border wall sitting here, ready to be completed behind us, and that can’t happen because of Kamala Harris‘s administration,” he continued.

“They reinstated ‘catch and release’ and they stopped ‘Remain in Mexico,’ so all these asylum claimants who come to our border, they can now get released into our country because they’re not forced to stay in Mexico while we adjudicate their asyum claims,” Vance said.

These policies, the Senator stressed, “cause real human beings to suffer,” citing his own childhood experience of his mother, a recovering drug addict, almost losing her life to “poison” trafficked across the porous frontier with Mexico.

It is true that Harris opposes the border wall, having dismissed it as a “vanity project,” and she has expressed little interest in deporting illegal aliens, instead stressing the supposed importance of a “pathway to citizenship” that would only encourage more illegal immigration.

She also compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the KKK as a hyper-liberal U.S. Senator.

July Jobs Report Renews Recession Fears as Biden-Harris Economy Sputters.

According to official data, the U.S. economy added just 114,000 jobs in July, well below the 176,000 expected. Additionally, it should be noted that job gains have been consistently revised down in the months preceding the July report, meaning this initial estimate may even be on the high side. The unemployment rate came in much higher than expected in the monthly jobs report, signaling potential cracks in the economy and sending markets on Friday into a dive.

Unemployment came in at 4.3 percent, well above the 4.1 percent projected. This is the highest the rate has been since October 2021.

Earlier this week, the United States Federal Reserve announced there would be no movement on interest rates for the time being. While acknowledging a weakening in the labor market, the central bank still heeded concerns about a potential resurgence in inflation—especially as they are still struggling to reach their 2 percent target. However, if paired with positive downward movement on inflation, the July jobs numbers could lead to a 25bps or 50bps cut in interest rates at September or November’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

The jobs report miss sent stock futures tumbling Friday morning, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ both seeing losses.

Some economists are noting that the so-called Sahm Rule—named for a former Federal Reserve economist—has been triggered, indicating the U.S. is in the midst of a recession. However, some consider the rule to be less than definitive. It dictates a recession is underway if the unemployment rate—based on a three-month moving average—jumps by half a percent from its low in the past year.

Kamala Harris Descends from Notorious Slave Owner, Historian Reveals.

A British historian has traced Vice President Kamala Harris’s lineage to Hamilton Brown, a notorious 19th-century slave owner and plantation manager in Jamaica. Harris, of Indian and Afro-Jamaican descent, has not publicly addressed these historical ties. Her father, Donald Harris, an academic at Stanford University, has written about the family’s connections, noting that Brown is his ancestor.

Stephen McCracken, a historian from Northern Ireland, has asserted that Hamilton Brown—himself an Ulster Scot—was not only a slave owner but also campaigned against the abolition of slavery. Born in Antrim, Brown relocated to Jamaica where he established a plantation and protested anti-slavery efforts in London.

Joe Biden has endorsed Harris as the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee after Biden decided not to seek re-election last month. While Harris has enjoyed a honeymoon phase in election polling,  critics have pointed to Harris‘s penchant for gaffes and policy decisions as potential liabilities. Her political ascent has been accompanied by controversies, such as her handling of cases as San Francisco’s District Attorney and Attorney General of California.

Harris is not the only Democratic presidential hopeful who can trace her ancestors back to slave owners. When he was still just a U.S. Senator, Barack Obama was presented with evidence in 2007 that his ancestors were also slave owners on his mother’s side.

Numerous currently living members of the American political elites have ancestors tied to the slave trade, including five living presidents and senators like Elizabeth Warren and Lindsay Graham, among at least a hundred others. However, one major political figure who appears not to have any ancestors involved in the slave trade is former president Donald J. Trump.

The legacy of the slave trade remains an issue for some, including Caribbean nations, who have demanded as much as $33 trillion in reparations.

Biden-Harris Government Gifts Plea Deal to 9/11 Mastermind, Death Penalty Off the Table.

The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris government has reached a plea deal agreement with alleged September 11, 2001, terrorist attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and several other accused plotters held at Guantanamo Bay. Under the agreement, none of the accused plotters, including KSM, will face the death penalty for perpetrating the deadliest terrorist attack in American history.

“The Convening Authority for Military Commissions has entered into pretrial agreements with Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, three of the co-accused in the 9/11 case,” an Office of Military Commissions (OMC) spokesman stated on Wednesday.

According to family members of 9/11 victims, the OMC has informed them the terrorists will not face the death penalty.

KSM and the other 9/11 plotters, held at the special U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, face charges of providing training, financial support, and other assistance to the al-Qaeda terrorists who perpetrated the attack.

Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives when al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners and flew two of them into the World Trade Center Buildings in New York City. A third plane flew into the Pentagon, which houses the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, D.C.

A fourth plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers overcame the hijackers. It is believed that they intended to fly it into the U.S. Capitol building.

Kamala’s NatSec Adviser Has Been Implicated In An Iranian Spy Ring Exposé.

Philip H. Gordon, Kamala Harris‘s national security advisor, appears to have concerning ties to an Iranian influence operation that has sparked a full investigation of the Biden-Harris government’s special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley.

In a letter on Wednesday, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) allege Gordan is tied to Ariane Tabatabai, a senior Defense Department official accused of participating in an Iranian influence operation.

“Before joining your office, Mr. Gordon co-authored at least three opinion pieces with Ms. Tabatabai blatantly promoting the Iranian regime’s perspective and interests,” Cotton and Stefanik’s letter states. It continues: “In a March 2020 piece, Mr. Gordon and Ms. Tabatabai claimed continued sanctions on Iran would create ‘catastrophe’ in the Middle East. In another, they wrote sanctions could lead to new Iranian efforts to ‘lash out with attacks on its neighbors, and on Americans and American interests in the Middle East.'”

The Republican lawmakers ask Harris for details regarding the circumstances of Gordon’s employment by the Office of the Vice President. These include whether she was aware of his ties with Ariane Tabatabai and the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI)—a foreign influence operation controlled by the Iranian regime’s Foreign Ministry—at the time of his hiring. In addition, they requested to know whether Gordon has an active security clearance.

In addition to questions regarding her national security advisor, Cotton and Stefanik pressed Harris regarding Tabatabai’s ongoing employment at the U.S. Department of Defense. The National Pulse reported in September that Tabatabai was able to obtain a security clearance and serve as an aide to Biden’s special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, before moving to the Defense Department. Since the revelations, the State Department has placed Malley on unpaid leave, and his security clearance has been revoked.

Win for Texas AG Paxton as Court Rules Floating ‘Wall’ in Rio Grande Can Remain – For Now.

A floating barrier in the Rio Grande aimed at deterring illegal immigrants from crossing from Mexico into Texas can remain in place for now, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday. This overturns a prior ruling by a panel from the same court, marking a new chapter in the ongoing conflict between Texas and the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris regime over illegal immigration across the 1,200-mile frontier with Mexico.

In a divided decision last December, a panel of the Fifth Circuit sided with a federal district court in Texas, which ordered the removal of the buoy barrier. On Tuesday, however, the full appeals court determined that the lower court had abused its discretion by issuing the preliminary injunction.

The broader case, brought against Texas by the Biden–Harris government, remains active in the district court, with a trial set for August 6. The Biden-Harris regime insists the floating “wall” violates the federal Rivers and Harbor Act. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a leading America First conservative, has been fighting back, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott is pushing for states to have greater power over immigration control.

The buoy barrier, which is anchored in concrete, extends approximately the length of three soccer fields in an area known for frequent illegal border crossings between the Texas border city of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras in Coahuila, Mexico.

The Justice Department (DOJ) argues that the buoys pose humanitarian and environmental threats along the international boundary, seeking a court order for their removal.

The Biden-Harris regime is also suing to be able to cut state-installed razor wire protecting the border.

Illegal Alien ‘Gotaway’ Charged in Fatal Carjacking of American Grandmother.

Jose Aguilar-Martinez, a 21-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, has been charged with felony carjacking following the killing of a Maryland grandmother in Loudoun County, Virginia. Melody Waldecker, 54, of Montgomery County, was allegedly run over by Aguilar-Martinez after he stole her car at a 7-Eleven in Sterling, Virginia, around 11:30 AM. She had been visiting her sick mother.

The Salvadoran was apprehended approximately 45 minutes later, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed his status as an illegal alien. ICE has also placed a detainer on him, so he should be transferred to their custody if he is released from jail at any point. However, local authorities frequently refuse to cooperate with ICE and release criminal illegals in defiance of detainer requests, sometimes with disastrous results.

Aguilar-Martinez is a so-called “gotaway,” meaning he crossed the U.S. border without encountering Border Patrol officers or other U.S. officials. The number of annual gotaways is estimated in the hundreds of thousands and has tripled since the inaugurations of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The latter was given special responsibility for tackling the “root causes” of illegal immigration by Biden in 2021, but it has increased exponentially under her watch.

Even if Aguilar-Martinez had been apprehended when he crossed the border, illegal aliens are usually released after minimal vetting, with immigration court dates set years into the future. The Biden–Harris government has granted a de facto amnesty to hundreds of thousands of these illegals by terminating their asylum cases with no on either deporting them or granting them refugee status.

Family members tell the press that Melody Waldecker worked as a caregiver at a nursing home in Montgomery County and was fond of spending time with her grandchildren. Her four children and eight grandchildren survive her.

Kamala Heckles Trump Over Debate: ‘Say It To My Face.’

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for the November presidential election following Joe Biden’s ouster, again challenged former President Donald J. Trump again to a debate during her first rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday night.

The Democratic candidate said that Trump should criticize her record as a progressive prosecutor and failed border czar “to her face” in a September debate.

“So, the momentum in this race is shifting, and there are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it,” Harris asserted at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia. She claimed the former president has pulled out of a September debate he previously agreed to—against Joe Biden—although his campaign has only said he will not commit to the debate until the Democratic Party officially designates Harris as its nominee.

Harris suggested Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance have had “a lot to say about her,” adding: “Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage, because as the saying goes, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.”

The National Pulse reported late last week that polling data following Biden’s announcement that he would not run for reelection shows the race has narrowed, with Harris and Trump nearly tied among voters.

Harris’s entrance in the 2024 contest has injected new life into Democrats who had been previously demoralized by the failing campaign of the 81-year-old Biden, who shows clear signs of cognitive and physical decline.

Kamala Trying to Disown Far-Left Positions Against ICE, Fracking, and Police Funding.

Vice President Kamala Harris is starting to distance herself from some far-left positions she previously endorsed. Harris’ earlier campaign efforts catered heavily to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. She was once rated the most liberal Senator in America in an analysis piece the corporate media have now memory holed.

In December 2019, the then-Senator ended her initial run for the Democratic nomination after a disastrous primary performance. However, she remained in the limelight by aligning with progressive ideology during the protests following George Floyd’s death. Recently resurfaced videos, now being aired in ads by Republican Senate candidate David McCormick in Pennsylvania, show Harris opposing fracking, suggesting the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), criticizing police funding and hiring practices, and considering granting the vote to felons.

The videos also show her supporting a mandatory gun buyback program and the elimination of private health insurance.

With Pennsylvania being a critical battleground state due to its economic dependence on fracking, the Harris campaign claimed on Friday that she would not seek to ban fracking if elected, despite the many recordings of her saying there is “no question” she would abolish it.

Harris has also endorsed Joe Biden’s Supreme Court “reform” proposal, which even the corporate media have denounced as a politicization of the high court and a naked assault on the separation of powers.

Harris’s recent campaign adjustments underscore a strategic shift as the “original Marxist district attorney” seeks broader voter appeal ahead of the November election.

Suspected Palestinian, Turkish Terrorists Apprehended Crossing U.S. Southern Border.

Three Palestinians and a Turkish national with suspected ties to terrorist organizations were caught attempting to cross the U.S. southern border this week. The potential national security threat the four individuals posed was only discovered because the illegal immigrants provided their real names to border agents.

At least one of the suspected terrorists had menacing photos on their mobile phone, including one image of a masked man holding an AK-47. Several months ago, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a security memo for the San Deigo border region warning that individuals “inspired by, or reacting to, the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border.”

Since the Biden-Harris government’s border crisis began over three years ago, government officials—including Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director Christopher Wray—have warned that the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants poses a national security threat. “There is a particular network that, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we’re very concerned about,” Wray warned Members of Congress in March.

The latest incident is, concerningly, just the latest encounter border agents have had with possible foreign threats. In early June, eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to Islamic State (ISIS) were arrested in several major U.S. cities after sneaking into the country through the porous southern border. At least one of the Tajik terror suspects was inadvertently released into the U.S. by the Biden-Harris government after initially being detained attempting to illegally enter the country.

In total, upwards of 400 individuals with potential ties to ISIS and other terrorist groups are believed to be at large in the United States.
