Kamala Harris’ economic plan: $1.7T in handouts, fed ban on grocery store ‘price gouging’

By Diana Glebova, Josh Christenson and Victoria Churchill | The New York Post Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday unveiled the economic policies she would enact in her first 100 days in office — and it comes with a whopping estimated $1.7 trillion in handouts, as well as government price controls on groceries amid ravaging Biden-Harris administration inflation. Her economic plan includes measures to dole out $25,000 to help first-time homeowners with their down payments and give up to a $6,000 tax breaks for lower and middle-income families who have a child in their first year of life. Harris did not say what incomes qualify as “lower” and “middle.” The housing subsidies alone are “absolutely inflationary” and would “push a $2 trillion dollar deficit even higher,” Bri...

As California AG, Kamala Harris helped illegal alien become nation’s first ‘undocumented’ lawyer

By Judicial Watch Years before her catastrophic failure as the Biden administration’s border czar, Vice President Kamala Harris helped an illegal alien become the nation’s first undocumented lawyer while she was California’s top law enforcement official. In a court brief filed during the illegal alien’s years-long legal battle to obtain a law license, then California Attorney General Harris wrote: “it is not a crime either to be present or to work in the United States without immigration status.” Even the Obama administration opposed an illegal immigrant practicing law in the United States and the Department of Justice (DOJ) challenged it, arguing that a 1996 immigration reform law precludes undocumented aliens from receiving commercial and professional licenses issued by states a...

Sen. Tim Scott: ‘The American people are smarter than Kamala Harris when it comes to the economy’

By Julia Johnson  | Fox Business Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., shredded Vice President Kamala Harris' economic proposal on Friday, which laid out a sweeping overhaul including broad cross-industry price-fixing and $25,000 government-subsidized down payments for first-time home buyers.  "The American people are smarter than Kamala Harris when it comes to the economy," the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Ranking Member told Fox News Digital in an interview.  "The ‘price-gouging’ that they've experienced has come at the hands of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden," Scott said. "When you artificially stimulate the economy by the federal government and the Democrats spending trillions of dollars, the net effect is high inflation, high interest, high demand and lower sup...

Harris, Biden talk big on ‘Big Pharma’, but have accepted combined $11M in campaign donations since 1990

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | Commentary, The Daily Signal President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris slammed Big Pharma for “inflating the price of lifesaving medications” in a speech Thursday in Largo, Maryland. But Biden and Harris’ congressional campaigns received $9 million and $2 million, respectively, from 1990-2024. “Folks, this is a fight all of us have been fighting for a long time,” Biden said. “Thinking about Big Pharma, we pay more for prescription drugs, it’s not hyperbole, we pay more for prescription drugs than any advanced nation in the world.” Despite Biden and Harris’ strong anti-Big Pharma rhetoric, Biden was the top congressional recipient of donations from pharmaceuticals and health care products from 1990-2024, accepting more than $9 ...

Votes have been bought at taxpayer expense, and the White House is lying about it, congressmen say

By Alan Wooten | The Center Square Only 40% of student loan borrowers make payments, and congressional committee leaders from North Carolina and Louisiana said Wednesday the federal report confirms the White House’s efforts to win votes at taxpayers’ expense. U.S. Reps. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., and Sen. Dr. Bill Cassidy, R-La., requested the Government Accountability Office analysis because they believed the Biden administration “has repeatedly failed to communicate to borrowers on how to transition to repayment,” a release says. Payments resumed in October 2023 after a 3½-year pause due to COVID-19. The congressional leaders – Foxx as chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and Cassidy as ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor an...

Bidenomics or Kamalanomics? Either way it’s the worst inflation record since Reagan sacked Carter

By Amy Furr | Breitbart Consumer prices have soared 20.2 percent since Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden took office 42 months ago, according to the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Americans continue to feel the strain of runaway inflation. That is the worst inflation record for any president since Jimmy Carter. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have spent the last three and a half years promoting the same ideas and touting the same economic programs. That’s now seen as a burden for Harris as she tries to distance herself from Biden’s unpopular programs and economy. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Fake news: Kamala Harris’ campaign writes their own headlines on Google search ‘news’ ads, report says

By Katherine Donlevy | New York Post Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign team has been quietly editing news headlines in Google search ads to make it seem like major news outlets are on her side, according to a report. The altered headlines — appearing on Google ads and paired with a “Paid for by Harris for President” banner — were changed without the news outlets’ knowledge, Axios reported Tuesday. Nearly a dozen publishers were swept up in the faux headline campaign, including major companies like the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News, the Associated Press and PBS.

Trump: Harris picked Eric Holder-vetted Walz despite ‘stolen valor’ because Dems ‘don’t care about the military’

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart  Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate despite his history of stealing valor because Democrats do not care about veterans and the military. “I think for the Democrats they did because I don’t think they care,” Trump said in an interview at Mar-a-Lago last week. “I don’t think they care about his military service because they don’t care about the military. I think they did for themselves, but I don’t think they did for the country.” Walz’s history of stealing valor — he claimed he was “in war” when he certainly was not — has become a major liability for Democrats and for Harris. Several establishment media outlets like ABC News, CNN, and mor...

Vance agrees to Oct. 1 debate of VP candidates with Walz on CBS

By Jared Mitovich | Politico Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance agreed to debate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Oct. 1 on CBS, locking in a match-up between the Republican and Democratic nominees for vice president. On Wednesday, Walz had publicly agreed to the October debate in CBS’s New York City studios. “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan will moderate the forum. Vance added that he had agreed to debate Walz on CNN on Sept. 18, writing, “The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already.” Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump last week committed to a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC, but Trump has continued to challenge Harris to join him for...

‘Reject any funding for President Trump’s border wall’: In 2018, Harris led Dems in call to reject Border Patrol, ICE funding

By Julia Johnson | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris previously led a group of Democratic senators in calling for a reduction in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and to reject appropriations entirely for additional Border Patrol agents and border wall construction. In 2018, then-Sen. Harris and her fellow Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee led several other Democrats in a letter to Senate appropriators. "We urge the Committee additionally to reject President Trump’s proposal for funding to hire new Border Patrol personnel at this time," they wrote. Another signatory of the document pushing back on President Trump's administration and its request for funding in fiscal year 2019 was vulnerable Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin of...
