Kamala Harris greatly exaggerated prosecutorial record during district attorney campaign

By James Lynch | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris exaggerated her trial experience when she first ran for San Francisco district attorney just over two decades ago, greatly overstating the number of felony cases she prosecuted in order to bolster her image as the tough-but-fair prosecutor San Franciscans needed to set the city straight. Harris’s overstatements about her prosecutorial record, central to her pitch as a candidate who would clean up inner-city crime, became a point of attack throughout the campaign from opponents who questioned her level of experience. “As Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County from 1990 to 1998, Kamala prosecuted hundreds of serious and violent felonies, including homicide, rape and child sexual assault cases,” Harris’s campaign bio s...

Harris rejects religious exemptions for abortion

 By David Zimmermann  | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night she would reject religious exemptions for abortion as president, effectively forcing health-care providers to perform the medical procedure in violation of their moral conscience. The Democratic presidential nominee has been adamant about passing a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law, despite the Supreme Court overturning that decision in 2022. In an interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris indicated she would refuse to compromise with Republican lawmakers on the abortion legislation. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body,” Harris said when asked if sh...

Anti-Israel protester interrupts Ted Cruz at committee hearing on hate crimes

By James Lynch | National Review An angry anti-Israel demonstrator on Tuesday interrupted Senator Ted Cruz during a committee hearing on hate crimes and profanely questioned why the Texas Republican was spending his speaking time on antisemitism. Cruz spoke at the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on hate crimes and was criticizing Democratic committee members for refusing to hold a hearing solely focused on antisemitism when a protester began shouting over him. “Every Republican member of this committee asked the chairman to hold a hearing on antisemitism in February, and yet, we don’t get a hearing on antisemitism. We get a hearing generically on hate, because this administration — and this is the kind of anger and hate that is encouraged,” Cruz said, as the man beg...

Biden-Harris Admin ignored repeated military warnings ahead of disastrous Afghan withdrawal

By James Lynch | National Review President Biden’s insistence on withdrawing entirely from Afghanistan no matter the cost — despite repeated warnings from the military and NATO allies — exposed American personnel to security threats and allowed the Taliban to quickly remake the country into a terrorist safe-haven, according to a new congressional report. Taking their cue from Biden himself, senior State Department officials were hellbent on getting every last U.S. troop out of Afghanistan by September 11, 2021, regardless of the security situation on the ground or the Taliban’s compliance with the previously negotiated Doha Agreement, according to a 354 page report compiled by the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Republican majority.

Harris Backtracks on 2020 Commitments in First Interview as Dem Candidate — but Can’t Explain Why

By Zach Kessel | National Review Vice President Kamala Harris addressed several high-profile flip-flops Thursday night in her first sit-down interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket — but failed to explain exactly why she’s backed away from the progressive positions she staked out during her primary run four years ago. CNN’s Dana Bash first asked Harris about fracking, which the vice president came out in favor of banning during her ill-fated 2020 presidential primary campaign. “You know, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as president, I did not ban fracking as vice president,” Harris said. “I will not ban fracking.” READ THE FULL STORY AT NATIONAL REIVEW

Colorado’s Campaign Against Christians Continues

By Andrea Picciotti-Bayer | National Review The state will provide preschool education only to children of parents who are happy to subject them to progressive ideology. ‘Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” For many parents, Proverbs 22:6 offers powerful guidance as another school year begins. One group of Catholic parents in Colorado takes this directive to heart and wants to partner with Catholic preschools for the education and formation of their little ones. They are demanding that the state’s universal preschool program allow them to use the public benefit at their schools of choice. It shouldn’t surprise you to learn that the intolerant demands of progressive ideology are at issue. READ MORE AT NATIONAL REVIEW

Trump threatens to skip ABC News debate against Kamala Harris

By James Lynch | National Review Former president Donald Trump Sunday evening raised the possibility of skipping his upcoming ABC News debate against Vice President Kamala Harris because of the network’s apparent bias against him. “I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” Trump wrote on Truth Social. ABC reporter Jonathan Karl’s Sunday interview with Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) went viral after Karl tried defending Harris’s past support for ending private health insurance, a progressive position she took during her failed ...

Berger: Democrats Can’t Turn Kamala Harris into the Next Obama

By BRIAN HAWKINS, Commentary | National Review Dear Weekend Jolter, When John Edwards exited the 2008 primary race to let Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battle for the nomination while he tended to his, um, home life, he memorably declared he was stepping aside “so that history can blaze its path.” Democrats, judging by this week’s convention, are really working to recapture that feeling, to convince the electorate that gathering behind Kamala Harris’s sudden candidacy is the full force of History.

Lennington and Gruel: Title IX Changes Risk Undermining Female Athletics in the Name of Inclusivity

By Dan Lennington and Lauren Greuel | National Review With the closing ceremony now in the rearview, we can declare an official winner of the Olympics: Title IX. Now over 50 years old, Title IX is a federal law that guarantees equal treatment of men and women in American educational institutions, including in college sports. Before Title IX, schools heavily prioritized men’s athletic programs, with the average university devoting only 2 percent of athletic budgets to women’s sports. Title IX put an end to that disparity. The law’s mandates are rigorous. It requires distribution of scholarship dollars proportionally based on participation. Title IX also ensures that, as women step onto the field, court, or track, the financial support follows. By tying scholarsh...

National Review: The attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump

By THE EDITORS | Commentary, National Review The nation escaped an unspeakable tragedy that would have been profoundly destabilizing for the country by perhaps a few centimeters. As it is, what happened in Butler, Pa., is godawful enough. A gunman tried to assassinate former president Donald Trump and grazed his ear with a bullet, while killing one rally-goer and seriously injuring others. This was a heinous act of violence and an attack on American democracy. Trump’s reaction was truly extraordinary and will long be remembered. After Secret Service officers threw themselves on the former president and then picked him up to begin to take him to safety, he insisted on pausing on the stage, with blood streaming down his face, and pumping his fist to the crowd and repe...
