Media Helps Harris Steal Trump’s No Tax on Tips Plan

Waiters and waitresses, barbers and hairdressers, and delivery drivers, make a large portion of their income through tips. Tips are especially important for restaurant servers as, believe it or not, the federal minimum wage in 2024 for tipped employees is only $2.13. Yours truly started waiting tables in 1992, and that’s the same rate restaurants were paying then. Of course, many states have raised that wage, but the federal government has not. 

Whatever you think of the current proposals to stop the IRS from taxing tips, one thing everyone knows is that the idea belongs to Donald J. Trump. He floated the idea at a June, 2024 campaign rally. 

Then, just as she swiped the presidential nomination, America’s least-favorite Democrat Kamala Harris is stealing Trump’s idea. The cackler in chief is now energizing the crowds at her rally by promising to take tips off the table for the tax man. This isn’t particularly surprising, given the source. But what may irk you more is how the mainstream media is colluding with it. 

When Trump suggested it, they scorned him. When Kamala swiped it, they cheered her. Take a look at this headline comparison:

It couldn’t be more brazen. Everything Trump does and says must be evil no matter what. CBS News was motivated to frame Trump’s proposal as a blow to the treasury, but when Harris came out with the same line, there was no such framing. Nor was there any acknowledgment of the hollow candidate’s idea thievery. 

It’s reminiscent of the media’s contrived outrage over the fact that Kamala Harris was put in charge of stopping the influx of illegal immigrants. The press is fixated on claiming that she was not appointed “border czar” by formal legislation using that exact title. “See! Republicans lie! Nobody officially named her ‘border czar!’” But the media did, in fact, routinely call her “border czar” until it was no longer convenient. Leftist digital pulp outlet Axios had to eat its own words when it blasted Republicans for calling Harris the border czar. Check it out:

And then:

It’s hard to say what the American public will make of Harris’ policy sleight of hand, but social media users aren’t shy about sharing their view of the lying media:

Can we get some praise for Elon Musk for preserving at least one public forum where people can tell the truth?

This user pointed out the flip side of consumers not mistrusting the media enough:

Trump Campaign Hacked, Internal Memos Sent to News Outlet

The Trump campaign has confirmed that some of their internal communications have been hacked. Politico also reported that they’ve been sent internal memos from an anonymous account that details some of the Trump campaign’s internal operations.

Trump campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, declined to say if they had further information substantiating the campaigns’ suggestion that it was targeted by Iran.

Cheung said, “On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a vice presidential nominee.”

According to Washington Examiner:

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has reported it has been hacked, and Politico confirmed confidential memos from the campaign were sent to them.

“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

Cheung did not provide confirmation to Politico for how he knew the hackers were from Iran.

The news outlet reported they received documents from a person who called themselves only “Robert” from an AOL email account, and the records included research on Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Marco Rubio (R-FL).

After the assassination attempt on Trump, reports emerged that there had been unrelated Iranian plots to kill the former president. In his statement to the outlet, Cheung referred to those reports as he accused Iran of this hacking.

Politico described in an article how they came into possession of the information and hinted at some of the data in it:

On July 22, POLITICO began receiving emails from an anonymous account. Over the course of the past few weeks, the person — who used an AOL email account and identified themselves only as “Robert” — relayed what appeared to be internal communications from a senior Trump campaign official. A research dossier the campaign had apparently done on Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, which was dated Feb. 23, was included in the documents. The documents are authentic, according to two people familiar with them and granted anonymity to describe internal communications. One of the people described the dossier as a preliminary version of Vance’s vetting file.

The research dossier was a 271-page document based on publicly available information about Vance’s past record and statements, with some — such as his past criticisms of Trump — identified in the document as “POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES.” The person also sent part of a research document about Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who was also a finalist for the vice presidential nomination.

The person said they had a “variety of documents from [Trump’s] legal and court documents to internal campaign discussions.”

Asked how they obtained the documents, the person responded: “I suggest you don’t be curious about where I got them from. Any answer to this question, will compromise me and also legally restricts you from publishing them.”

This is a breaking story and will be updated when more is known.

Trump Destroys Reporter For “Stupid” Question Over Campaign Schedule As Harris Hides

Every politician likes to run their own campaign in their own way.

For some, it could be oft-quoted comments under the guise of “no such thing as bad publicity.” For others, it could be on-the-ground engagement with voters in key demographics.

However, like it or loathe it, there’s no dodging the media in an election… apparently unless you’re Kamala Harris.

Harris has deployed the tactic of avoiding the media since her all-but confirmation as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee last month.

When l Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago he addressed the situation firsthand following a “stupid” question from a reporter.

When the reporter asked why the former president had not been campaigning nationwide, Trump said, “Because I’m leading by a lot, and because I’m letting their convention go through.”

“I’m campaigning a lot. I’m doing tremendous amounts of taping here. We have commercials at a level I don’t think anybody has ever done before,” Trump continued.

Adding that he had spoken to journalists throughout the week, as well as at the news conference, Trump added “She’s not doing any news conferences. You know why? Because she can’t do a news conference. She doesn’t know how to do a news conference. She’s not smart enough to do a news conference. And I’m sorry, we need smart people to lead this country.”

Many agreed with Trump’s remarks.

Others held high praise for the Republican.

Stephen King Posts Yet Another Work Of Fiction On Social Media

Prominent author Stephen King is renowned for his works of fiction, although he may have released his least popular work yet.

King, who regularly posts his left-wing opinions on X despite his apparent hatred for the social media platform under Elon Musk, has long used his large following to sway voters towards the Democrats.

The author regurgitated a comment from former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly about Donald Trump’s fictitious disparagement for those who had served the country – a claim Trump has vehemently denied. denies.

Within minutes, King’s post was barraged with photographs of Trump being photographed with amputee veterans.

Indeed, no community note appeared on the post, presumably because the replies had already done the work.

Kamala HQ “Empty Seats” Dig Backfires Massively

The Kamala HQ account on X – rebranded from Biden HQ – is often a haven for ridicule.

When it’s not accidentally promoting its Republican rival, Kamala HQ posts propaganda for the Democratic nominee hoping to be the 47th President of the United States. Its focus, which perhaps speaks volumes, centers on attacking Donald Trump rather than highlighting the supposed achievements of the Vice President.

For some reason, the account (and supporters of it) are obsessed with trying to give the impression their attendance figures at Harris’ rallies surpass Trump, particularly in swing states such as Georgia. Perhaps this is because of how embarrassed they were the prior nominee was Biden, who got turnout in the dozens at his rallies.

Both candidates campaigned in Atlanta, GA, at the end of July in a bid to win over voters in the state. Trump’s rally caught the attention of Kamala HQ which quickly posted a pre-speech picture of an empty section of the arena – before it filled up.

They posted a side by side of the Harris rally and Trump rally in the same arena, purporting to show higher turnout at Harris’ rally.

Unfortunately for them, conservatives hastily responded with footage of Trump’s actual attendance – which showed the “empty” areas completely full.

Other Republican voters flipped the post on its head and criticized Harris’ rally.

While polls vary, Trump averages a one-point lead in Georgia with only three months to go before the election.

Doug Emhoff’s Ex-Wife Responds To Reports Of Affair During 16-Year Marriage

A bizarre conversation on social media has gone viral after the ex-wife of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff called out Usha Vance – the wife of Donald Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance.

Kerstin Emhoff was married to Kamala Harris’ now-husband from 1992 to 2008, during which time they had two children.

On Wednesday, July 31, Kerstin reposted a Kamala HQ video which accused Sen. Vance of “going to war against” childless people.

“Usha’s going to be in the ex-wives club in 2025. Mark my words,” she wrote on X.

Three days later, news broke that the Second Gentleman impregnated his daughter’s nanny while married to Kerstin. Sure enough, the article was quickly shared back to her.

Many on social media expressed their disbelief at the absurdity of the situation.

Kerstin issued a statement to the Washington Post following news of the affair.

“Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons, many years ago,” she said. “He is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great friend to me and I am really proud of the warm and supportive blended family Doug, Kamala, and I have built together.”

What a weird bunch.

Republican Sen. Destroys CNN Anchor As Kamala Harris Dodges The Media

President Joe Biden’s decision not to stand for re-election has thrust Vice President Kamala Harris into the political spotlight.

As the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Harris has been on a whistlestop tour in a bid to salvage her reputation as one of America’s least popular Vice Presidents.

However, her stops around the country seldom seem to take place in front of journalists, prompting Republican opponents to question why she has gone into hiding.

Appearing on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday, July 31, Sen. Tom Cotton said it was “refreshing” to see Republican candidate Donald Trump face tough questions in reference to his appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists earlier in the week.

“It turned out to be a hostile, adversarial interview, but he’s been doing that for nine years. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has been hiding out for the 10 days that she’s been a president nominee,” Sen. Cotton said.

The discussion turned to controversial remarks made by the former president in which he said he “didn’t know” she was Black amid allegations that she has changed her preferred ethnicity for electoral gain.

“Four years ago, Joe Biden said, ‘if you don’t vote for him, you ain’t Black’ – could you imagine a more insulting comment?” Cotton asked. “Joe Biden is presuming to judge the political views of one-eighth of our citizens based on their skin color – did you ever ask Kamala Harris to condemn his remarks?”

The conversation moved on following a war of words between Cotton and Collins (below)

Cotton was referring to a memorable debate moment where Harris implied that Biden was racist right after saying she didn’t think he was racist at a 2020 Democratic debate.

“So, on the issue of race, I couldn’t agree more that this is an issue that is still not being talked about truthfully and honestly. There is not a Black man I know, be he a relative, a friend or a coworker who has not been the subject of some form of profiling or discrimination,” Harris said during the debate. “And I will say also that in this campaign, we’ve also heard—and I’m going to now direct this to Vice President Biden. I do not believe you are a racist and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.”

She then went on to add “You also worked with them to oppose busing. And you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was me. So, I will tell you that on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats. We have to take it seriously. We have to act swiftly,” Harris added.

In the exchange she also blasted Biden, telling him it was “hurtful” to “hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on segregation of race in this country.” She was referencing Biden working with two former segregationists, Senators James Eastland and Herman Talmadge. Biden commented in 2019 that there was “at least some civility” in working with them.

Many praised the Arkansas Sen. for his handling of the interview.

Others were more critical of Harris’ continued avoidance of the media.

There was also criticism of CNN itself.

Social Media Corrects Fact-Checking Website Over Kamala Harris’ Support For Illegal Alien Health Care Coverage

Political websites and mainstream media organizations are continuing their desperate attempts to promote Kamala Harris.

The Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee has enjoyed a relatively easy ride since President Joe Biden announced his intention to stand down last month. Left-leaning websites have removed previous accusations, while others have contradicted their own reporting about the Vice President.

PolitiFact, which assesses claims made about politicians it doesn’t like, said Donald Trump’s comment that Harris “endorsed free taxpayer-funded government health care for all illegal aliens” was “mostly false”.

How something can be “mostly false” is a story for another day. Importantly, the site deemed Trump to have told a lie.

Except, he hadn’t.

Thanks to the joys of social media, we can now verify sources independently, as the End Wokeness account did on Wednesday, July 31.

The account shared a 30-second clip of Harris speaking with CNN about a bill covering health for those who entered the country illegally (below). “Let me be just very clear about this: I’m opposed to any policy that would deny, in our country, any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health. Period,” the then-Sen. for California said.

And that wasn’t all.

On the debate stage during the 2020 Democratic Primary, where she garnered exactly zero delegates, all the candidates were asked if they support free healthcare for illegals, all of which affirmed they would:

Even Elon Musk chimed in to comment on the absurdity.

Others noted that PolitiFact’s claim was “mostly false.”

J.D. Vance Provides Perfect Response To Race-Baiting CNN Question

Donald Trump’s appearance in front of the National Association of Black Journalists caused a stir among liberals and woke extremists.

Few, except for Trump himself, mentioned that the sit-down discussion began 35 minutes late after technological problems from incompetent ABC News workers.

When it finally began, ABC’s Rachel Scott began the onslaught. One particular remark drew the attention of social media when Trump referenced Vice President Kamala Harris’ ever-changing ethnicity in order to secure the votes of her audience of the day.

“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black,” Trump said at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention. “So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?”

Trump continued;: “I respect either one but she obviously doesn’t because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person. And I think somebody should look into that, too.”

Naturally, CNN sought to pounce and asked the former president’s running mate, J.D. Vance, for his views on Trump’s comment that Harris was “all of a sudden Black”.

“As the father of three bi-racial children, do those comments give you pause at all?” quizzed correspondent Steve Contorno.

Vance promptly responded, “They don’t give me pause at all; all he said was that Kamala Harris is a chameleon.”

“She is everything to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on what audiences she is in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,” Vance added.

He concluded; He continued; “I think it’s totally reasonable for the president [Trump] to call that out, and that’s all he did. Look, she’s running as a tough on crime prosecutor even though she implemented open border policies. She’s saying that she wants to support the police, yet she wanted to defund the police just three years ago. It’s totally reasonable to call out the fact that she pretends to be somebody different depending on the audience she’s talking to.”

The Sen. for Ohio referenced Harris’ track record of contradictions over the border and the police, much to the praise of many on social media.

For others, Vance’s confidence gave prudence to Trump’s selection of him for running mate.

Associated Press Contradicts Own Reporting Amid Kamala Harris Ethnicity Row

Since her effective confirmation as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, the mainstream media has sought to eradicate previous claims and attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Media outlets have deleted previous reporting on Harris’ left-wing views, descriptions of her as a “border czar” while Politico claimed her anti-fracking stance was an “allegation”.

On Wednesday, July 31, the Associated Press became the latest outlet to attempt to alter history when reporting on Donald Trump’s appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.

After a question regarding whether the Republican candidate believed Harris was the Democratic nominee “because she is a Black woman,” Trump said he “didn’t know” she was Black due to her previous ethnicity claims.

“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump responded. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black.”

“Now she wants to be known as Black,” Trump continued before adding that his presidential rival “obviously doesn’t” respect either race due to her conflicting claims.

Watch his comments below:

The Associated Press claimed the former president “falsely suggested” Harris had misled voters over her race.

However, social media users were quick to find evidence to the contrary.

So poor was the Associated Press’ argument that a guy who goes by the name “Catturd” was able to refute it.

And everyone else could see through their BS too.

Others agreed with Trump’s comments.

Harris is trying to claw back Black American voters who may be tempted by a second Trump presidency. Although not the largest demographic of the American electorate, many Black voters live in highly populated swing states, thus making them crucial in the race for the White House.
