In an article titled “Harris Flip-Flops on Building the Border Wall,” Axios is reporting that Kamala Harris is suddenly pledging to “spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border.” That claim is demonstrably false and is based on a misrepresentation of the Senate Border Act of 2024, which has been repeatedly misportrayed as a “tough” border bill. Axios’ article, written by Alex Thompson and Hans Nichols, claims that Harris promised to build a wall because she announced at the “Democratic National Convention last week” that she “would sign the recent bipartisan border security bill.” And according to a statement obtained by Axios from Republican Senator James Lankford (OK), the bill “requires the Trump border wall.” Those claims are highly misleading for two reasons.

Editors’ Note: For those who howled about the cost of the Trump Border Wall and did so much to delay and obstruct its construction, it would seem the cost of not building the wall has been much higher.

In July, members of the 52nd contingent of the Venceremos Brigade traveled to Cuba to demonstrate their solidarity with the country’s communist government.

State of the Union: Trump understands accountability. That is a danger to the national security bureaucracy. Compared to recent policy-infused speeches, Donald Trump’s big foreign-policy address in North Carolina was strangely devoid of, well, policy. This was vintage Trump. Trump mentioned his advisers: “They always say, ‘Sir, please stick to policy. Don’t get personal,’ and […]
We are in the camp that argues climate is always changing, and that attempts to change the environment by government edict will fail, and that those bad policies will have major negative consequences elsewhere.

One of my colleagues, a medical doctor, that I often “tour” with on what many refer to as the “freedom” circuit, texted me a meme a while ago that I just love. Well, to be honest, I actually despise it because of what it symbolizes, which is the tremendous struggles we’ve endured the past four […]

Now that the physical and mental infirmity of Joe Biden has been admitted to by those who tried for years to hide the obvious from Americans, speculation still runs rampant about who is really running the country.

They also kidnapped more than 240 Israelis to the Gaza […]
