Moderator For VP Debate Tied To Donations For Radical, Pedo-Friendly 'Lincoln Project'

 

The husband of one of the two moderators in next week's CBS News debate featuring vice presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz appears to have made two donations of $250 apiece to the controversial Lincoln Project during the 2020 election.

 

Records from the Federal Election Commission show that Ali "Yado" Yakub, the husband of Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, contributed on July 2 and Sept. 26 of that year to the anti-Trump super-PAC.  [...]

Even the NY Times is Trashing Kamala's MSNBC Interview

 

It's not exactly a secret that Kamala Harris is deliberately seeking out friendly ground for her "interviews" since becoming the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.  Nor is it a secret that these interviews haven't exactly gone well for her.  No matter how much she tries to stack the deck in her favor, she doesn't come across well.  Generally speaking, you have to go to conservative-leaning outlets to get a more fair assessment of her performances, though.

For example, last month she did a joint interview with her running mate Tim Walz on CNN conducted by anchor Dana Bash—and it went terribly.  That didn't stop Bash from defending Kamala's performance in a subsequent interview.  Of course.

Kamala just did another interview, this time with anchor Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC, and once again, it didn't go well.  Kamala just has a problem with actually answering questions.  Heck, even Ruhle conceded this point, although she still proceeded to play defense for her.

But, the New York Times actually trashed the interview—and Kamala's performance.  [...]

MSNBC:  Kamala Harris Has to Address Communist Memes

 

[...] On MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," NPR's Maria Hinojosa had a minor meltdown over AI images of Kamala Harris done up in Maoist uniforms.  This is something that the candidate has to address, she said, because these images are actually taking off — because they're accurate.  [...]

WHY Is This So Hard for Her?!  Here's Another Kamala Harris Word Salad Answer on Economic Plans (WATCH)

 

Why, why, why is it so hard for Kamala Harris to give a straight answer on her economic plan?

Is it because she doesn't have one?  Is it because it's so bad it'll destroy her in the election?  Is it because she's so idiotic she can't articulate it, if it exists?

 

The answer is probably a combo of all three.  But, darn it, it's so awful to watch her ramble on without saying anything.

Stick a fork in both of them!  Can't wait to see what JDV does with this during the VP debate.

She Was SLEEP DEPRIVED?!  Kamala Harris Says Insomnia Drove Her to Pick Tim Walz As Her Running Mate

 

OH.  EM.  GEE.

We don't know what else to say, really.  From the moment Kamala Harris announced Tim Walz as her running mate, it's been a non-stop series of unflattering revelations including lies, tactless posts, hypocrisy, and a temper.  He's just a weirdo.

 

Some of us even said this -- Kamala's first policy decision -- was a bad one from the start.

Well, it seems Kamala is having some buyer's remorse:  [...]

Comments about the VP debate?  I think that Vance was weak on only one issue, and that the biased moderatrices (plural of moderatrix, a female moderator) were even worse than ABC's were.

I think Vance destroyed Tampon Tim. What do you believe he was weak on?

HOT TAKES:  Democrats, Media Seethe As Republicans Cheer After Vance Dominates Vice Presidential Debate

 

I don't know what the viewership numbers were on the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but if they're not high they should have been because that was one of the best debates I've ever watched in my time as a political junkie (which goes back a looong time).

Vance, as RedState previously reported, wiped the floor not just with Walz but also the CBS News debate moderators, who did what they weren't supposed to do at least twice in "fact-checking" Vance, only to have him refuse to be silenced by fact-checking them right back.

 

There is no question here who won the debate, with pollsters and even some in the media saying in so many words that Vance was the victor:  [...]

He needed to debunk the falsehood that women who have miscarriages won't get medical care under abortion bans.  He was perhaps too apologetic on the abortion issue overall.

Trump Forced To Play Glockenspiel At Rally After Every Artist Bars Use Of Songs

 

WALKER, MI—Plunking out a solo as the performance entered its 45th minute, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was reportedly forced to play the glockenspiel at a rally Friday after every musical artist in the country banned him from using their songs.

 

"He started out with some sheet music, but within minutes he was just hammering away at the same few notes over and over," rally-goer Ray Garza said as Trump regaled the crowd with a medley of public domain material [...]

Why is Tim Walz able to know the time of day so well?

Because JD Vance cleaned his clock.
