Trump spars with Harris, moderators during heated presidential debate: ‘She doesn’t have a plan’
Harris and Trump faced off in their first and potentially only debate ahead of Election Day 2024, which is eight weeks away
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris faced off in a heated debate Tuesday night, sparring about abortion, immigration, Israel, the economy and a range of other issues—but Trump also battled the ABC News moderators, who were quick to challenge and “fact check” the 45th president, while leaving Harris’ numerous distortions untouched.
Trump and Harris engaged in their first, and possibly only debate of the 2024 general election cycle at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pa. Tuesday night—a highly-anticipated ninety-minute showdown as they traded jabs, and repeatedly, accused each other of lying.
The two met for the first time Tuesday night on the debate stage, with the vice president introducing herself as “Kamala Harris” to the former president as they shook hands–before making it a top priority to attempt to get under his skin and bait him throughout the debate.
The debate got underway with questions from ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis, who challenged Trump throughout the debate.
Shortly after it concluded, Trump told Fox News Digital that he thought it was his “best debate ever, especially because it was three on one.”
Moderators began with the economy—first questioning the vice president on whether Americans “are better off than they were four years ago?”
Harris did not directly respond to the question. The Biden-Harris administration has seen rising inflation.
Instead, Harris incorrectly claimed Trump wanted to introduce a “sales tax” on everyday goods, but Trump dismissed that claim as an “incorrect statement.”
Moderators chimed in, suggesting Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on other countries would pass on higher costs to consumers.
But Trump countered, pointing to the high inflation of the Biden-Harris administration, calling it the “worst in our nation’s history,” while touting the record-economy under his administration.
Trump went on to hit Harris on her lack of clear policies, saying her past record and “everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window.”
“She’s going to my philosophy now,” he said. “In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.”

Can They Really Reinvent Kamala Harris in 70 Days?
Harris is not so much a flip-flopper as a padder, who supports anything, without any worry about framing each new position by renouncing her original and opposite one.
September 2, 2024
An Opportunistic Mediocrity
In theory, it should be hard for Kamala Harris to win the presidency of the United States.
Under pressure, Harris just completed her first “live interview”—a disastrous performance that was mysteriously taped, edited, and emotionally supported by her co-interviewed running mate. During the interview, she claimed that her values remain the same even though her manifestations of them have admittedly changed. Translated, that means for the next 70 days, she will advocate for popular policies antithetical to her own values, which will inevitably resurface after the election once the current façade fades away.
She is a Berkelyite who, as attorney general of California, had a proud far-left tenure. The lifelong large corpus of Harris’s left-wing enthusiasm and causes are only now being unearthed. But they are singular in that her riffs of embracing wokism, being a radical, erasing ICE, doing away with private health insurance, or being the last person in the room when Joe Biden made his disastrous decisions were all given to sympathetic media or pandered to crowds.
As a result, she often doubled down. Her emphatic statements were intended to stun audiences. Unlike other leftists, she really was a proud woke, radical and wanted everyone else to be one as well—broadcasting her leftism as openly as she is now cloaking it.
In one respected survey, Harris’s voting record was rated as the most left-leaning in the United States Senate. If she voted to the left of the admitted hardcore socialist Bernie Sanders, what exactly does that make her?
Otherwise, Harris was undistinguished, and often overtly so, as she was exposed as inane in Senate hearings. Her envisioned 2019-2020 primary bid proved an utter disaster. When liberal Democrat voters nationwide were first made aware of her radical record, her left-wing agendas, and her weird wash/rinse/spin word-salad chats, they ran.

Covid Relief Money Paid for a Water Park and Luxury Hotels

If you were looking for a family-friendly escape from the heat this summer, you should have checked out the new aquatic center in Danville, Ill. While the Central Illinois town may not ring a bell, what should catch your attention is that you helped pay for Danville’s splashy venture—thanks to a cool $13 million injection from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
While facilities like the Danville Aquatic Center will likely provide enjoyment for area residents for years, such expenses aren’t a smart use of federal taxpayer dollars, especially considering that the funds that built the new water park were intended for Covid-19 recovery efforts. Unfortunately, this questionable expenditure represents a small fraction of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
The law also allocates $350 billion specifically for emergency funding to state, local and tribal governments. This particular pool of money has bankrolled many projects like the Danville Aquatic Center. It’s a spending spree that should upset all taxpayers, as such projects demonstrate a complete lack of oversight and blatant misuse of funds intended to accelerate the nation’s economic rebound.
Danville, population 28,000, is far from alone in this trend of inefficient spending. Across the country, American Rescue Plan funds have been used in questionable ways. In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy spent $15 million on promotional efforts to attract soccer’s 2026 World Cup to the state. Maine used $20 million to modernize fish hatcheries, while North Carolina dedicated $5 million for the development of moonshine walking trails. Arizona spent $7 million to boost horse racing. New York paid $2 million to plant 3,600 trees. And Broward County, Fla., commissioners doled out more than $140 million to build a 29-story luxury hotel.

Doesn’t it give you a warm fuzzy feeling to know that our taxpayer money is going to the Taliban who control Afghanistan? I’m sure the Taliban uses the money (cash) for humanitarian purposes (Just like Hamas uses the humanitarian aid to help the people of Gaza). Nancy
U.N. Has Flown More Than $2.9 Billion in Cash to Afghanistan Since the Taliban Seized Power, Diverting U.S. Funds
The U.S. State Department has previously said that no U.S. funds went to the militant group, but a new federal report indicates that some taxpayer money has ended up in the Taliban-controlled central bank of Afghanistan.
March 20, 2024
The United Nations has delivered more than $2.9 billion in cash to Afghanistan since the Taliban seized control, resulting in the flow of U.S. funds to the extremist group, according to a recent government report.
The U.N. deposits the cash into a private Afghan bank and disburses funds to the agency’s aid organizations and nonprofit humanitarian groups. But the money does not stop there, the report found. Some winds up at the central bank of Afghanistan, which is under the control of the Taliban. The group took over the country after the withdrawal of U.S. forces in August 2021.
The report, from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, provides the first detailed account of how U.S. cash falls under the control of the Taliban and adds to a growing body of evidence that contributions to the U.N. are not always reaching Afghans in need. It did not specify how much U.S. funding has been channeled to the central bank.
“Most of the money that’s going in cash through the U.N. is ultimately coming from U.S. taxpayers,” John Sopko, the inspector general, said in an interview. “It’s going to a terrorist group. The Taliban are a bunch of terrorists.”
U.N. officials do not deny that the cash delivered to Afghanistan makes its way to the central bank. But they say there is no avoiding it since the Taliban control the country.

Can you hear the drip, drip of our tax dollars turning into an avalanche of money ! U.S. Debt clock
Nancy
By Jack Montgomery
The Biden regime’s humanitarian aid to Afghanistan appears to be ending up in the hands of the Taliban. During a recent House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) lambasted the poorly overseen State Department expenditure.
The Biden regime, Mast observes, has “sent more than $2.8 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took power in August of 2021.” A federal inspector general’s report shows “tens of millions of dollars of that money going directly into the hands of the Taliban.”
“It is unacceptable for any U.S. funding to benefit the Taliban,” agreed Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, demanding Biden “take immediate action to prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to the Taliban.”
McCaul cited findings from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) showing that the Taliban had indirectly received at least $10.9 million from U.S. taxpayers. However, SIGAR warns this is likely only a fraction of the Taliban’s indirect U.S. taxpayer funding through taxes, fees, and other means.
Mast also criticized the State Department for a $500,000 grant to “promote atheism in Nepal,” which is predominantly Hindu, raising a broader problem of reckless federal spending.
Waste also plagues U.S. aid to Ukraine. U.S. taxpayers are not only providing and paying for weapons for Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces but also paying the salaries of Ukrainian government workers, subsidizing Ukrainian businesses, and purchasing supplies for Ukrainian farmers.
U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh estimates Zelensky, his government ministers, and commanders have embezzled “at least” $400 million in U.S. aid in 2022 alone.
