Key Moments Of Donald Trump’s Interview With Dr. Phil Summarized

/

Former president Donald Trump sat down with renowned TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw for another interview on Monday that aired on his Merit Street Network.

The interview (which he can viewed in full below) went on for an hour, and was Trump’s second interview with Dr. Phil this year, the prior being before he was shot.

The two began the interview by discussing the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, PA. Trump once again praised divine intervention with regards to the last-minute head turn which saved his life.

Shortly after the assassination attempt, Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party’s de facto presidential nominee. Trump noted how attitudes had shifted towards what was once America’s least popular Vice President.

“She was known as a terrible vice president, laughed at, scoffed at. They wanted [Biden out], but they didn’t want her. They would have done anything to get anybody on the list. You know, they had a list of ten people, and they put her on the list, and she came in 11th,” Trump said.

The Republican also noted the increased pressure on President Joe Biden to step aside, and gave some behind-the-scenes details of him being forced out.

Attention then turned to the Democratic National Convention. Speakers, many of whom were unable to highlight existing problems within the country since Harris is a central part of the current administration, and instead just bashed Trump wherever possible.

Trump concluded the interview by praising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who in the past week suspended his campaign and endorsed the former president. Trump described the ex-Democrat as a “great asset” and “a fantastic and influential person in terms of getting this country back on track.”

Kamala Harris Pledges To Build Less Homes Per Year Than Her Administration Currently Is

/

Vice President Kamala Harris is on a thematic rampage in a bid to secure the votes required for a term in the White House.

Of course, it could be argued that a better approach for Americans would be to enact the required changes while she is in a position of political power rather than her whistlestop tour to secure four more years of it.

This week when talking about housing Harris pledged to build three million homes over four years to address the housing shortage her administration is partly responsible for.

“My mother saved for years to buy a home. I was a teenager when that day finally came – I remember how excited she was,” Harris wrote on X. “Right now, home ownership is out of reach for too many Americans. When I am President, we will end the housing shortage by building 3 million homes and rentals.”

The problem? That would actually mean building less housing!

The United States is currently building 1.4 million homes a year, nearly double Harris’ target of 750,000 a year.

And that’s despite the fact that housebuilding figures have already been substantially reduced under the Biden-Harris administration with figures falling for the first time since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis: “According to U.S. Census Bureau, single-family new home starts, which comprised 66.8% of total 2023 home starts, fell 6.0% from the prior year to 944,500 units. Multi-family starts were down 14.4% from 2022 to 468,600 units. Looking ahead, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) forecasts 2024 total housing starts to decrease 3.4% to 1.37 million units, with single-family starts rising 4.7% but multifamily starts decreasing 19.7% from 2023.”

It’s sometimes a wonder how she has any supporters at all. Then again…

There is ultimately a question of what influence Harris would have.

This Was the Craziest Moment of the DNC – And Few Have Seen It

/

Throughout the election campaign, the Democratic Party’s commitment to democracy has been questioned as to whether it truly stretches beyond the party name.

In the past month alone, the Democrats have selected a presidential candidate who failed to win a single primary, while also reportedly fighting to keep Donald Trump-endorser Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot in key swing states – and fighting to keep off far-left third-party candidate Cornel West.

However, under-the-radar footage from the Democratic National Convention suggested the party’s loyalists’ true attitude towards democracy.

Kelley Robinson – the first “queer, Black, female” president of the leftist Human Rights Campaign – showed her true colors on the DNC’s “LGBTQ+ Kickoff” on Monday, August 19. She’s also a Harris surrogate.

“We can’t just worry about protecting democracy. In this moment, we’ve got to reimagine it with people that look and love like us at the center,” Robinson said in one of the many references to Trump that week. “And I think for us right now is about reimaging freedom and this American story in a way that is more revolutionary than what our founders actually put down on that little piece of paper, but instead is the type of democracy that is by and for all of the people in this country. That’s the opportunity that we have.”

“That little piece of paper”, as she called it, is the Constitution.

Many thought Robinson’s comments alluded to communism.

Her reference to the Constitution did not go unnoticed either.

And this is hardly the first time she’s made headlines. Last year, she went viral for not being able to answer the question of if there’s a difference between men and women during a congressional hearing.

Democrats Cast Doubt On Reality Of Kamala Harris’ Price Control Policy

/

Kamala Harris’ plans for “communist” price controls on grocery items has been a focal point for her otherwise lackluster policy commitments so far.

When she’s not promoting concepts which she previously voted against, the Democratic nominee has sought to play on the concerns of voters over the cost of living, specifically the essential goods which have risen in price during her tenure as Vice President. Rather than fixing the issue while in an office of political power, “Comrade” Kamala has opted to introduce a price cap on goods under the condition she wins the election on November 5.

It’s an extremely Keynesian approach to an economy which has historically relied on free market forces, and has even concerned some of the less progressive factions within the Democratic Party.

In fact, a Politico article this week gave doubt that her price cap policy would ever pass Congress. Speaking under anonymity, several Democratic lawmakers told the publication that price controls would be unlikely to pass Congress: “But such a bill has no chance of passing Congress anytime soon, even if Democrats win the White House and Congress this November, according to six Democratic lawmakers and five Democratic aides who were granted anonymity to discuss the matter candidly. These people said Democrats in Congress have privately been telling critics that this part of the Harris plan is not viable,” Politico reported.

“Rather, they’ve argued it’s a messaging tactic — a way to show that she understands food prices remain an economic burden for many Americans and to redirect voters’ anger about inflation to corporations, in a way that progressives in particular have cheered,” they continued.

Politico also noted that the proposal “has also alarmed food industry officials and even some left-of-center economists, who’ve warned such policies can hurt more than they help.”

It marks yet another flaw in the Harris campaign. The month-long wait for Democratic in-fighting has returned, even if the concerns are less public than they were with Joe Biden’s insistence to carry on his campaign. Even if successful in November, Harris would be unable to deliver on what is currently a key campaign pledge.

There is, nevertheless, always the executive order route…

DEI Pushback

Lowe’s Becomes Latest Corporation To Backtrack On DEI Policies As Conservative Campaign Builds Momentum

/

Home improvement store Lowe’s has become the latest company to withdraw its “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies amid a conservative campaign on social media.

The decision came following an inquiry to a Lowe’s executive by popular campaigner Robby Starbuck. In recent months, Starbuck’s activism has prompted motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson to reverse DEI policies, as well as farmyard corporations Tractor Supply and John Deere.

Lowe’s’ decision to amend its corporate policy on DEI initiative came before the conservative campaigner exposed the company. In a three-minute video posted on X, Starbuck listed the preemptive changes: Lowe’s will withdraw from the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index where companies are assessed on their inclusivity to LGBTQ+ individuals. It also pledged to prohibit donations to pride “or other divisive events” while ending Employee Resource Groups catered towards race or sexual orientation.

“We’re now forcing multi-billion dollar organizations to change their policies without even posting just from fear they have of being the next company that we expose,” Starbuck wrote on his social media profile. “We are winning and one by one we WILL bring sanity back to corporate America.”

Adding that his movement was “a force to be reckoned with”, Starbuck encouraged concerned followers to expose their woke workplace with tips and evidence to [email protected].

He received widespread praise on social media from supporters of his campaign.

He also received strong reviews from those who subscribe to his X account.

Former Hawaii Congresswoman Joins Ever-Growing List Of Ex-Democrats To Endorse Trump

/

Former Hawaii Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has become the second ex-Democrat to endorse Donald Trump in as many weeks.

The former Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee endorsed the Republican nominee at a National Guard conference in Detroit, MI. Her decision comes just days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign to also back the former president.

Kennedy noted  on Sunday that there will be more Democratic endorsements of Trump to come, noting that “Trump is going to make a series of announcements about other Democrats who are joining his campaign.” Elon Musk, who had historically supported Democrats had first endorsed Trump following the assassination attempt on the former president last month.

Gabbard, a National Guard veteran herself, acknowledged the “grave responsibility that a president and commander in chief bears for every single one of our lives” on Monday, August 26. She slammed the Democratic White House for bringing the United States into a situation where it is “facing multiple wars on multiple fronts in regions around the world and closer to the brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before.”

Gabbard’s endorsement of Trump is perhaps not unexpected. She was previously one the Democratic Party’s most conservative lawmakers, and refused to vote in favor of impeaching the then-president in 2019.

Despite running for the Democratic ticket in 2020, Gabbard left the party two years later amid concerns over wokeness within Democratic ranks. She has since identified as independent.

Her decision marks yet another blow for a Democratic Party whose critics argue has become too far left. While ex-Democrats line up to support the former president, the same can’t be said for Kamala Harris who has done little to attract anti-Trump conservatives.

Gabbard’s support also signals a show of unity behind Trump.

Kennedy Jr.’s Trump Endorsement Sparks Bad News For Kamala Harris

/

The political implications of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to suspend his campaign and endorse Donald Trump will be scrutinized by historians for generations to come.

Albeit a decision formally announced only three days after rumors started to circulate, talk of RFK Jr.’s campaign event in Phoenix, AZ, took the media spotlight away from an otherwise lackluster Democratic National Convention.

The independent’s chances of winning diminished to a level where a Kennedy Jr. presidency was all-but off the cards by Friday, August 23. Polls of 15% soon plummeted when Joe Biden announced he would be stepping aside in favor of Kamala Harris as disgruntled Democrats returned to a rejuvenated party. Truth be told, the attempted assassination on Trump probably didn’t help RFK’s chances of retaining anti-MAGA Republicans either.

Nevertheless, Kennedy still retained a small but substantial level of support in the key swing states which are often decided by a finer margin than the circa 4% RFK held. Quite simply, his decision could decide the election.

Just take a look at how Trump has gained since RFK Jr. dropped out: 1.25 points in Arizona, 1.08 in North Carolina, 2 in Nevada, 0.52 in Pennsylvania, and 1.2 in Wisconsin.

The resulting support for Trump has given him an edge in the states he must win to return to the White House, and he wasn’t exactly losing in them in the first place.

That said, it’s also worth remembering that anything can still happen in this presidential election with two-and-a-half months still to go.

Kamala Harris’ “Marxist” Father Absent From DNC

/

Kamala Harris’ estranged father did not attend last week’s Democratic National Convention, according to media reports.

Donald Harris, 86, has had a long-estranged relationship with the Vice President and Democratic Party presidential nominee – evident from Kamala’s acceptance speech on Thursday, August 22, where her father was almost seldom mentioned.

“At the park, my mother would say, ‘Stay close.’ But my father would say, as he smiled, ‘Run, Kamala, run. Don’t be afraid. Don’t let anything stop you,’” Harris said in her only mention to her father. “From my earliest years, he taught me to be fearless.”

It is unclear whether Donald was not invited to the DNC, or chose not to attend.

Born in Jamaica, Donald and Kamala’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, divorced in 1971 when the now-Democratic nominee was only eight years old. The 86-year-old has since stayed largely out of the political spotlight with his daughter’s rise to prominence, and his views have been described as “combative Marxist economist” by the Economist.

“​​He is a clear writer. There are few compound nouns or sentences that run for paragraphs. Yet he is still a Marxist and his writings are sprinkled with obscurantist theorizing. Republicans who have mocked Ms. Harris for word-salad speeches will find precedent in her father’s writing,” the Economist wrote of Harris’ father. 

Donald Harris was born in 1938 in Jamaica, and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of London before moving to the U.S., where he completed a doctorate in economics at the University of California in Berkeley in 1966. 

Most recently, Harris and her father cashed in 2019 when the then-Sen. for California joked about smoking marijuana during her college days in an interview with Charlamagne tha God. Her father’s grievances at the comment caused him to respond to the “fraudulent stereotype” of the country in Jamaica Global – and he denounced her campaign.

In response to the article by the New York Post, social media users noted the “Marxist” connection to a candidate her political opponent calls “Comrade Kamala”.

Others noted a similar theme emerging to Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns.

“What A Team!” – Oprah Winfrey Once Wanted To Be Donald Trump’s Vice President

/

Oprah Winfrey made headlines across the country on Wednesday, August 21, when she appeared at the Democratic National Convention to endorse Kamala Harris – especially for the part where the billionaire claimed to be a victim of income inequality.

The 14-minute speech largely centered around Winfrey’s view that, as an independent, she felt compelled to support Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over the Republican pairing of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.  

“I’m calling on all you independents and all you undecided [sic],” she told the Chicago crowd. “You know this is true. You know I’m telling you the truth: that values and character matter most of all, in leadership and in life. And more than anything—you know this is true—that decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024.”

“And just plain common sense. Common sense tells you that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can give us decency and respect. They’re the ones that give it to us,” Winfrey added.

The speech marked a rare foray into politics for the television personality. It also marked, as noted by social media, and change of heart by Winfrey.

Since the late ‘80s, Winfrey held a special fondness for Trump until he became a Republican presidential candidate. She would regularly invite him onto her talk show to discuss the economy, business, and foreign affairs.

In fact, she even suggested she’d be Trump’s running mate if he ever ran for president.

It wasn’t just in public that the two had a special relationship. As shared by the Trump campaign immediately after Winfrey’s remarks, the Chicago native held high praise for the former president after the release of his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, where she responded, “Too bad we’re not running for office. What A TEAM!” after Trump suggested she would be his first choice for vice president.

Social media users noticed the consistency of Trump’s viewpoint…

…while also criticizing Winfrey for her flip away from Trump.

Don Lemon Among Thousands Fooled By Project 2025 Website

/

After four days of long-winded speeches and non-stop Trump-bashing, the Democratic National Convention is finally over.

The DNC saw speeches from the Clintons, Obamas, and, of course, Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.

It was the antics away from the main stage, however, which captivated conservatives across social media. While Edwin the Venezuelan alien was kept away from the convention, conservatives who managed to sneak into the DNC caused chaos among the Democratic attendees.

One incognito activist was Matt Walsh, the conservative children’s author who’s risen to fame for his efforts against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across America.

Walsh spoke to a number of Democrats, including liberal social media personality Don Lemon. He warned them of the dangers of Project 2025 – the policy framework Democrats insist is the authorship of Republican rival Donald Trump despite repeated evidence to the contrary.

Lemon, and many others, were handed a leaflet which directed them to “learn the truth” at www.project2025.com.

Unfortunately for the unsuspecting Democrats, the URL directs them to a poor-quality website predominantly featuring links and clips of Walsh’s upcoming film, Am I Racist? Nevertheless, it does contain a link to one video which is essential viewing.

Amusingly, former CNN commentator Brian Stelter “liked” Lemon’s tweet, also not realizing he was being trolled.

Lemon has since deleted his tweet.

Conservatives held high praise for Walsh’s antics at the DNC.
