"Candidate questionnaires have long been a part of American politics, locking in politicians to certain policies, pledges and positions. But it has been decades since one has threatened to roil a presidential race, or undercut a major party nominee's carefully crafted image. ...

But Kamala Harris is facing the real possibility that the candidate questionnaire she filled out for the American Civil Liberties Union in 2019 may undercut her efforts to rebrand herself as a moderate and distance herself from the insecurity, immigration crisis, and inflation unleashed by her boss Joe Biden's liberal agenda the last four years.

The reasons for the threat are simple. Five years ago Harris tried desperately to run to the left of Joe Biden during the 2020 Democratic primary, planting her flag on positions far from the American mainstream, particularly on immigration, law and order and social policy. She also suggested her earlier actions as California attorney general and a U.S. senator were proof of her commitment to far-left policies."

"It's been 23 years since America watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell on live TV.

"Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists, hailing from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon, hijacked four planes and killed 2,977 of us, shaking the nation to its core.

"America was suddenly, brutally awoken to the menace of those who hate our country and what we stand for.

"Heroes stood up: Todd Beamer and his fellows on Flight 93; firefighter Stephen Siller and his Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel run; Morgan Stanley's visionary Rick Rescorla and so very many more ... some whose names we'll never know.

"On 9/11, we saw endless proof that Americans are brave, selfless and resilient.

"But we also learned that there are those who would try to bring America to its knees if given the opportunity to strike.

"As the bells ring Wednesday morning at 8:46, 9:03, 9:37 and 10:03; as the names are read and the bagpipes play, let us all reflect on both lessons."

"The beginning of the end of Joe Biden's presidency arrived in August 2021.

"That's when the president began a catastrophic pullout from Afghanistan that shredded our national credibility and his own reputation. He never really recovered.

"The House Foreign Affairs Committee has just released an exhaustive 353-page report putting on record the sorry episode from beginning to end.

"The report's over-arching conclusion is that this was a Joe Biden operation from beginning to end. ...

"No rational person would want to be associated with any of this, but, at the time, Vice President Kamala Harris boasted about being the last person in the room."

"New polls show Vice President Harris faces a major challenge in winning over male voters and is losing men by a bigger margin than she's winning women in key states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina.

The gender gap between Democrats and Republicans isn't new, but it's becoming especially pronounced in the toss-up race for president.

Former President Trump's problems with female voters are well known. New polls show that Harris has just as big of a problem with male voters in some states."

"I see a lot of people on Twitter desperately trying to defend the insane, suicidal tax proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris on 'unrealized capital gains.'

It's been a while since anyone has proposed a dumber idea, so in that sense, at least, she is a historic candidate. And those who think it's a good idea are historically stupid.

As many others have pointed out already, such a tax would harm everyone investing for retirement, depressing asset values as the uber-rich are forced to make massive annual sales just to pay the tax. And what I'd really like to know is whether, if I'm ever forced to pay taxes on stocks I'm still holding just because their value went up on paper, do I get my money back when their on-paper value goes back down again months or years later?"

"As fate would have it, the 79th anniversary of the formal Japanese surrender in World War II came on the same day that Joe Biden all but encouraged Hamas to keep fighting and holding hostages in Gaza.

"The contrast suggests that had Biden been president back then instead of Harry Truman, America would have lost the Second World War.

"Truman boldly led the free world to total victory, while Biden is an appeaser from head to toe.

"He is a modern incarnation of Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister so desperate for peace that he convinced himself Adolf Hitler wanted the same thing."

"President Joe Biden has vowed to veto the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which simply requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. His promise was made in reaction to congressional Republicans who want to include it with any continuing resolution required to fund the next fiscal year, which begins on Oct. 1. The president's adamant opposition to what most Americans support demonstrates just how much Democrats are dedicated to making it easier to cheat in elections.

"On Dec. 16, 2020, as chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, I held a hearing titled, 'Examining the Irregularities in the 2020 election.' In spite of the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the election irregularity deniers, there were many indisputable irregularities."

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been found guilty of puffing up his military record to look more manly -- also known as stolen valor. Now it looks as though Kamala Harris has committed her own version of stolen valor by claiming a working-class medal that she may never have earned.

"Harris and her campaign have been bragging about her modest roots and her supposed connection to working-class folks, exemplified by her having toiled at McDonald's while in college, a claim she repeatedly makes in her speeches and that came up countless times at the Democratic National Convention.

"But, like so many things about Harris and Walz, this story started to fall apart on closer inspection."

"I thought I was reading a headline from The Babylon Bee when I saw on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris now wants to build the border wall.

"But it wasn't satire.

"Rather, the Democratic presidential nominee has decided she supports one of former President Donald Trump's signature ideas -- and one despised by progressives.

"Here's how left-leaning Axios described Harris' newfound desire to build the wall: 'It's the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions such as supporting Medicare for All and banning fracking -- proposals that aides say she now is against.'"

"Over the last few weeks, as corrects and fact checks roll in, I've wondered whether Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has ever told the truth about anything at all. We know that he's lied about his military service, including misleading people into believing he served in Iraq or Afghanistan, and habitually claiming a rank he never earned. We know he lied brazenly about his DUI, with his Congressional campaign distorting literally every detail about the incident, in which he was drunk and going 96 mph. We know he even stooped to lying about how his two children were conceived, making up a false story in furtherance of an already-deceitful attack against JD Vance (and Republicans generally). If one is willing to misstate facts about one's own military service, as well as peddle falsehoods about one's own kids, there is likely no subject that would be off limits for lying."
