Townhall - Kamala Harris Has Avoided a Press Conference for 35 Days: Harris has spoken at several rallies, typically scripted with a teleprompter. CNN’s Jim Acosta pushed back on this, pointing out that “a campaign rally is not a press conference.” The last time Harris took questions from reporters at a press conference was eight months ago, on December 2, 2023 (Townhall).
Associated Press - Taliban Passes “Vice and Virtue” Laws Ending Female Freedoms in Afghanistan: The Taliban’s new vice and virtue laws that include a ban on women’s voices and bare faces in public provide a “distressing vision” for Afghanistan’s future, a top U.N. official warned Sunday. Roza Otunbayeva, who heads the U.N. mission in the country, said the laws extend the “ already intolerable restrictions ” on the rights of women and girls, with “even the sound of a female voice” outside the home apparently deemed a moral violation. Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers last Wednesday issued the country’s first set of laws to prevent vice and promote virtue. They include a requirement for a woman to conceal her face, body and voice outside the home. The laws empower the Vice and Virtue Ministry to be at the front line of regulating personal conduct and administering punishments like warnings or arrest if its enforcers allege that Afghans have broken the laws. These are the people President Biden let take over Afghanistan. Where is the outrage? No protests on college campuses. No statement from the White House. Guess who’s funding this? We are. (Associated Press).
Townhall - Democrat Rep. Dean Phillips is Open to Serving in a Republican Administration, “We failed a lot of people”: The Democrat admitted that the United States is facing an unprecedented border crisis and a struggling economy, acknowledging that “We failed a lot of people.” As it relates to policy, yeah, we have a border crisis. I’ve seen it twice with my own eyes. We also have to be a welcoming country, as Ronald Reagan would say,” Phillips added. “We have to be a country that has an economy that works for people. Sixty percent of people are living paycheck to paycheck” (Townhall).
Atlantic - Atlantic Reporter Exposes Democrat Lies Meant to Increase Kamala Harris’ Favorability: Democrats might count on Americans to be forgiving, but they are not stupid, and they would do well to not let the pageantry of televised politics obfuscate the fact that they are being lied to…We were captive to decisions sold in the name of science but created more crudely by teachers’ unions and political appointees. Children were among the worst off as America—blue America, really, like the host city to the Democratic National Convention—kept its schools closed longer than any peer country. Does the Biden administration expect voters to not remember this? In our supposed exuberance over Kamala Harris, are we somehow supposed to invent a memory of her heroic effort to pry open schools? It’s worth keeping in mind as we look at the 2020–21 school-reopening timeline we are being asked to magically revise in 2024, with an eye toward what, if anything, Harris had to do with it. Harris also didn’t do anything to change the administration’s policies. Instead of facing down the teachers’ unions and urging local jurisdictions to reopen their schools immediately, the Biden administration decided to try buying their cooperation. So what did Biden mean when he said Harris “helped states and cities get their schools back open”? Keeping schools closed for so long was a mistake, and the Democrats shouldn’t pretend Harris is responsible for opening them. Nor should voters allow Democrats to pretend that she did (Atlantic).
Free Beacon - Another Tim Walz Lie Exposed: When Tim Walz launched his 2006 campaign for Congress in rural Minnesota, he boasted in his public biography that in 1993, he “was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities.” That was not true. It was a small lie about a minor honor, but for Walz it was part of a pattern of deceit and embellishment that helped pave the way from high school teacher to Congress to the Minnesota governor’s mansion and now, should the Democrats win in November, to the vice presidency (Free Beacon).
Daily Caller - Massive NAVY shortages amidst Democrat Failures: The U.S. Navy is reportedly considering drastic measures to tackle manpower shortage, sources told USNI News. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is reportedly facing operational challenges due to a shortage of qualified civilian mariners. This prompted a strategic plan to sideline 17 Navy support ships, USNI News reported, citing three people familiar with deliberations. This proposal, termed as a “force generation reset,” reportedly aims to alleviate the staffing strain by putting two Lewis and Clark-class replenishment ships, one fleet oiler, twelve Spearhead-class Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF) and two expeditionary sea bases into extended maintenance while reassigning their crews to other vessels (Daily Caller).

I think I need some help here Todd.
Since Cam a la will not face the public, we have to rely on what she has said.
I found the transcript of her press conference, November 12, 2021.

Simone: (19:19)
Yes [crosstalk 00:19:20]. My microphone was not on. Let’s do our first question from Philippe Ricard from Le Monde and I will just hold it for you.
Philippe Ricard: (19:30)
Okay. Thank you very much. Philippe Ricard from Le Monde. I have a question about the recent breach of trust between France and the United States linked to the, to the [inaudible 00:19:39] alliance in the Pacific. Do you believe you have done the job to try to repair the relation between Paris and Washington during your trip? Which guarantees did you give to Mr. Macron to avoid such a crisis could happen again in the next [inaudible 00:19:57] and maybe as vice president of the United States and as the first woman in that job, do you think the way you dealt with this issue during the last days could be a kind of model for European and American [inaudible 00:20:14] leaders? Thank you.
VP Kamala Harris: (20:15)
Thank you. I will tell you that was not the purpose of this trip and we didn’t discuss it. What we did discuss is the issues that are challenging us and the issues that are the basis for this relationship and the strength and the endurance of this relationship. And so, I’ve gone through the list of those issues and there were more. We talked about, for example, our mutual interest in the Western Hemisphere and issues that range from, “What are the current challenges?” to what have been relationships that one could argue should be strengthened and some might even say, have been neglected. We talked extensively about our mutual interest and, in many ways, a longstanding focus of France on the continent of Africa and how obviously what happens in Africa can impact our nations, both from a security perspective and an economic perspective, but also a moral perspective. We talked about what we have is also a perspective on alliances and the strength of alliances and the importance of paying attention to those relationships and understanding the strength of them, but also the fragility of them. Meaning, we can’t take relationships for granted. We must be present. That’s one of the reasons that I’ve been traveling like I have and the president has been traveling in spite of the restrictions we’ve had with COVID because we do understand the significance of being present.

Moderator: (22:20)
Thank you. Our next question will come from Jennifer Jacobs at Bloomberg.
Jennifer Jacobs: (22:27)
Thanks a lot. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. You hold onto it. Ma’am, the US is experiencing record inflation, the worst in 30 years, way beyond expectations, OPEC didn’t increase oil production. Can you tell us a little bit about how you would prevent the new spending in your Build Back Better agenda from exacerbating the problem? And also, what else are you going to do to fix this problem with inflation?
VP Kamala Harris: (22:55)
Right. Thank you. Well, let’s start with this, prices have gone up, and families and individuals are dealing with the realities that bread costs more, that gas costs more. And we have to understand what that means. That’s about the cost of living going up, that’s about having to stress and stretch limited resources, that’s about a source of stress for families that is not only economic, but is on a daily level something that is a heavy weight to carry. So it is something that we take very seriously, very seriously. And we know from the history of this issue in the United States, that when you see these prices go up, it has a direct impact on the quality of life for all people in our country. So it’s a big issue and we take it seriously, and it is a priority therefore.
VP Kamala Harris: (23:56)
So we have addressed it in a number of ways, one of the issues that we know is related to this is the supply chain issue that we just discussed. And so, on a domestic level, in terms of domestic policy, one of the approaches we have taken is to work with labor unions and to work with municipalities in opening backup, and extending the hours of our ports. There are actually three I have in mind, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Savannah. I mean, in fact, part of the Infrastructure Bill benefit is most recently what we will do to assist Savannah in broadening their ability to be an active port. And we have seen a reduction in the container ships off of the Long Beach and LA ports because of what we have done, which is to extend the hours to now 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |

Trump was the one who ordered the withdrawal.
He knew there would be big problems, that is why he kicked the can down the road until he was out of office.

You will need to provide three credible unbiased sources to back up your claims.
I read somewhere that you ALWAYS do that...
And, President Trump was confident that he would still be CIC when the withdrawal was scheduled, so there was no need to be a can kicker.

Can't blame Harris for the Biden administration policy. She was not in control.
I assume the comment about helping states and cities get their schools back open referred to the American Rescue Plan that provided millions of dollars to schools to address the added costs of re-opening classes. Republicans opposed the passage and Harris cast the tie breaking vote to allow the bill to pass in the Senate.

Why would I say that the plan wasn't in the works during Trump's Administration?
Your screws may need tightening.

A "mistake" but not a "lie". Walz did receive the award. It was just credited to a different organization. He was given the award by the Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce, also known as the Nebraska Jaycees.
I don't think people care much which organization gave him the award. It was still a notable achievement.
This is nothing like Trumps huge lie that Michigan gave him a "Man of the Year Award". That is a total fabrication, but of course that does not bother you at all.

Because, like TA82, you don't want Trump to have any blame for the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban. You want to blame it all on Biden.
And the plan was not "in the works". It was already agreed to by Trump while he was in office.[This message has been edited by BingB (edited 08-26-2024).]

Military has had recruiting problems for years. No Biden policy has anything to do with it other than the large number of jobs created in the private sector while he has been in office. Military generally recruits better when the private sector job market is tight.
he is a article that explains why the military is having problems with recruitment.
