Flotsam and Jetsam - Kamala Konsiders Kost Kontrols, Walz DUI Drawing Attention

At Hat Hair, Dave Strom, Harris to Propose Price Controls. The Peacock crows Harris to propose federal ban on ‘corporate price-gouging’ in food and groceries and Beege Welborn, Kamala's 'Day 1' Is Too Late for the Biden-HARRIS Economic Damage Being Done Right Now.  Funny how food producers only price gouge when Democrats are in office. At WaEx, Harris teases first hard policy position with ‘price-gouging’ ban. Noah Rothman at NRO says Kamala Harris’s First Policy Proposal Is Economically Illiterate. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments It's not a plan; it's a whine. In that sense, it shares plenty with modern progressivism and no small amount with neo-Marxism, too. Ben Whedon at JTN reports Trump rips Biden-Harris drug price controls: 'She's running on the Maduro plan' "He further blamed the administration's spending packages for rising prices, contending that landmark legislation ostensibly designed to curb price increases actually had the opposite effect." The Maduro plan also includes cheating in the election. Ed Driscoll at Insty, WHEN YOU’VE LOST THE WAPO: "When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls? It’s hard to exaggerate how bad Kamala Harris’s price-gouging proposal is. But they worked so well for Richard Nixon…" also, OLD AND BUSTED: Make America Great Again. "The New Hotness? Make America Cuba Again! Castro writ large: Kamala Harris declares war on wreckers and hoarders." Selina Wang@selinawangtv, "NEW: Harris will propose providing up to $25K in down payment support for 1st time homeowners, with more generous support for 1st generation homeowners, according to campaign official She'll announce tomorrow in NC, along w/ her plan to ban corporate price-gouging on groceries." Ace, Kamala Harris: I've Got a Great Solution to the Runaway Inflation My Profligate Printing of Fake Dollars Caused -- Soviet-Style Price Controls on Grain!. "Not just grain, but all foods. But "price controls on grain" sounds particularly Soviet."

WaEx's Paul Bedard has a list of 10 radical Harris positions the media are helping her hide. PJM's VodkaPundit sees Harris Explained Democracy Today and I'm Laughing but Also Frightened.

Kamala loses the Bulwark? Attorney General Kamala Harris Was Even Worse Than You Think
She was less interested in justice than she was in running for her next office. TN Star highlights a Black Man Wrongly Convicted of Murder Under Kamala Harris: ‘I’m Going with Donald Trump’ in 2024. Matt Vespa at TownHall cites a Black Voter on MSNBC: the Kamala Harris Agenda Is Already 'Killing Us'. Debby Saunders, The Latest Campaign Ad for Kamala Harris Calls the Veep 'Tough' on the Border. You Can't Make This Stuff Up. From the Free Bacon, Biden Erasure: Kamala Harris Wants You To Forget She Ever Served as Biden's Vice President. To be fair, she didn't serve much. 'Becca Downs at TownHall thinks This Harris Campaign Job Application Is Absurd, but Real. Mark McCaig @MarkMcCaig, "Applicants for jobs with the @KamalaHarris  campaign can choose from a wide array of preferred pronouns including “Fae/faer”, “Ey/em”, “Hu/Hu”, or the custom pronouns of the applicant’s choice." OTP, Trump: Harris ‘Openly Against Christmas’, and we posted the receipts earlier. Da Wire, Trump Turns His Focus To Grinding Harris Down By Highlighting Her Disastrous Record. Dan Chaitin at WaEx, Trump Schedules Another Presser As Kamala Continues To Shy Away From Reporters. PJM's Matt Margolis notes The Media Gaslighting About Kamala Harris Just Keeps Getting Worse. Daniel Friedman@DanFriedman81 "Implicit in this argument is the assumption that taking questions from the media would make Kamala Harris less likely to win the election." Quote Michael McFaul@McFaul "The paramount objective for @KamalaHarris is to win this election. If a press conference helps her win, she should do it. If not, she shouldn’t do it. It’s just that simple. She has no “moral obligation” to talk to the press. Tone it down folks." Charles Lipson at Spec World, Kamala Harris and that new car smell. "Can she define her candidacy for voters before Republicans do it for her?"


Da Wire, CNN Admits Tim Walz Campaign Lied About His Drunk Driving Arrest Numerous Times "While running for Congress, however, Walz’s campaign repeatedly claimed that the Democrat had not been drinking, but was pulled over and failed the field sobriety test because of alleged hearing loss he suffered from his time serving in the National Guard. As the CNN report put it, “None of that was true.”" So he stole a little more valor? Guy Benson at TownHall, New Details: Walz Also Blatantly Lied About His DUI. Capt. Ed, Walz Lied About Drunk Driving, Says ... CNN. John Hinderacker at Power Line, Walz Busted By…CNN? "Walz is a notorious liar. It is interesting to see how his elevation to the role of vice presidential candidate has caused the national press to shine light on some of his misdeeds that the local press has long been happy to ignore." Vicky Taft at PJM, calls it Sick that Kamala's Running Mate Literally Minted a Coin to Memorialize His Stolen Valor. 'Becca Downs again,  note how Tim Walz's Replacement in the National Guard Wrote to Him Years Ago About His Rank "It is an affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps that he continues to glom onto the title. I can sit in the cockpit of an airplane, it does not make me a pilot." Alex Berenson at Unreported Truths On Gov. Tim Walz, Covid lockdown fanatic. "At least he came by his insanity honestly (unlike his descriptions of his military service); ex-Minnesotan and censor-in-chief Andy Slavitt was one of his top advisors." Matt Margolis at PJM, Tim Walz Looks Like an Increasing Liability for Harris. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.15.24 (Morning Edition), Louder With Crowder: Hey, remember when weird Tim Walz had cops shoot paintballs at people breaking the curfew? (Updated).

From Fox, Biden remains bitter at top Democrats as they plan to formally usher him out the door. Capt. Ed, NYT: Here's *How* Biden Stepped Down, But ... "... but do we get the why? Not in any believable version, anyway." Beege Welborn, Who's Minding the Store When What Was Stored in POTATUS's Gourd Is About Gone?. Driscoll at Insty, WHEN FICTITIOUS PRESIDENTS MEET: "Lame-duck Biden urges Trump to ‘get a job’ while spending dwindling moments of his own with Martin Sheen."

Breitbart, Karine Jean-Pierre Refuses to Say if Joe Biden Will Demand Harris Pardon Son Hunter: ‘That’s a Hypothetical’. NYPo ed board, Elites decide Hunter Biden can finally be a scandal now that Joe is out. Eli Lake at Freep, Now We Know: Hunter Biden Was Lobbying for Foreign Companies. "Trump’s complaints of a two-tiered justice system have become central to his campaign. Hunter’s treatment gives weight to his claims." Capt. Ed comments "FARA for thee but not for we. Given that Hunter used his access to influence to do business with China in particular, the need for FARA enforcement in this case is even more acute. And yet, the DoJ gave Hunter a pass. And everyone knows why -- because it would have pointed back to Joe Biden." Matt Vespa, Here's What Happened the Secret Service Official Who Refused to Destroy the Evidence in Cocaine-gate.  "The acting chief of the uniformed division was passed over for promotion in the wake of this event."


Matt Margolis reports Kamala Officially Chickens Out of First Debate With Trump/ 'Bonchie' at RedState, Kamala Harris Runs for the Hills With New Statement on the Debates. Won't debate on Fox. Nicholas Ballasy at JTN reports Vance agrees to debate Walz on Oct. 1. ""The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already," Vance wrote on X."

IPSOS, Harris gains, but Trump still holds the fundamentals. Capt. Ed comments "There has been an inordinate amount of bedwetting on the Right over the Harris honeymoon bump. It's real but it's not spectacular, and it really just reflects renewed interest in the race now that the rematch aspect is over. If Trump and the GOP force the discussion on issues and policy, the honeymoon bump will fade." From OTP, Trump Holds Narrow Lead Over Harris In Michigan and Polling Guru Nate Silver: Polls Are ‘Underestimating’ Trump’s True Strength. 

At NewsMax, Karl Rove thinks Trump Needs 'Reset' to Hone Attacks on Harris. Capt. Ed, "He's correct, but thus far Trump seems to have realized it too. He's been more focused on policy rather than identity politics since the NABJ appearance, and his ads are directly on point."   Don Surber, via  Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.15.24 (Morning Edition), Trump's winning strategy and on how Congress can help elect Trump "For starters, pass a bill next month exempting tips from taxation." And force Schumer to reject it. 


VodkaPundit at Insty thinks I GUESS THOSE RUMORS ABOUT RFK JR ANGLING FOR A HARRIS ADMINISTRATION CABINET SLOT AREN’T GOING TO PAN OUT: Robert F. Kennedy Jr@RobertKennedyJr, "VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. . . " Mary Chastain at LI, Democrats Want Green Party Candidate Jill Stein Removed From Wisconsin Ballot "Plenty of leftists blamed Stein for spoiling the election for failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016." To be fair, they've been trying very hard to keep Trump of the ballot, too. Beege Welborn snarks Judging by the Harlem Hamas Brouhaha Last Night I Don't Think There's a DNC Protest Truce in Place. Ace, Pro-Hamas Protesters Raid Kamala Harris Event, "They deserve each other."

Fox cites Andrew McCarthy: Prepare for Trump to be sentenced to prison on September 18. "The objective here is to enable VP Kamala Harris and the media-Democratic complex to label Trump 'a convicted felon sentenced to prison' as voting begins." At OTP, It’s ‘Personal’ Now. "Trump Takes Off The Gloves Because 'They Want To Put Me In Prison'"

Twitchy, Got Some 'SPLAININ' to Do! NEWLY Discovered J6 Footage Gives GLIMPSE Into Pipe Bomb Mystery. "One has to wonder if members of the January 6th Committee actually saw this video Julie Kelly shared of what looks like a police officer carrying a bag near where the pipe bomb was allegedly found. Hey, we're not saying that was what was definitely in the bag, although it was just 15 or so minutes before another officer discovered the device." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano thinks it's fishy that The FBI 'Visits' Scott Ritter. Cowboy State News, Outrage At Feds In Tactical Gear Indicting S.D. Ranchers Over 75-Year-Old Fenceline. "Ranchers across the U.S. have expressed outrage over the Forest Service prosecuting a South Dakota ranch couple for allegedly stealing public land. The feds, who showed up armed and in tactical gear, say a fence that’s been on the owners' land for 75 years crosses a boundary with federal grasslands."
 
Fox, 'Corruptly influencing the courts': Climate justice group that trains federal judges under scrutiny, "American Energy Institute CEO says Climate Judiciary Project's training program is 'like interfering with the referees before a match.'" Capt. Ed comments "Why would federal judges need to be "trained" at all? They are supposed to judge legal matters, not policy. Having classes conducted by litigation participants is very suspect, too. AEI has good reason to expose this practice, although given how far the Left has intruded into the Bar, I wonder how much good it will do."

Stacy McCain examines Trump Derangement Syndrome and the Media’s ‘Misinformation’ Obsession. From OTP, Google Admits Trump Assassination Attempt Search Omissions Were By Design. Tim Graham, NPR Proves They Despise Trump 162 Times. Breitbart, Facebook Admits to ‘Incorrectly’ Rejecting Ads for ‘Reagan’ Movie. Hat Hair's Duane Patterson wonders So When Did We All Start Trusting Regime Media Again? Charlotte Hazard at JTN, Oversight Chairman Comer says Google should not receive tax dollars over censorship concerns.
