San Francisco Residents Sue the City Over Rampant Prostitution

Last week, investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent Steve Baker went undercover at the DNC in Chicago to get an insider’s perspective on mysteries, such as whether the “joy” surrounding is Kamala authentic. Is the left’s platform built on real policies or just Trump hatred? What are they talking about behind the scenes? Now Baker joins Jill Savage and the “Blaze News Tonight” panel to share his findings. - YouTube www.youtube.com Embedded with an organization friendly with Blaze Media, Baker stayed at a hotel “that was greatly populated by ... delegates, congressional members, senators, governors — all types of politicians within the Democratic Party machine.” While many might wonder whether Baker would be recognized due to his Jan 6 trial, he was able to fly under the radar with the help of a hired actress and model who helped spark and steer conversations in beneficial directions. “We had a lot of conversations with quite a few important people within the Democratic Party,” he tells Jill and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson, “but we're not going to get those surprise shocking statements because what's shocking anymore coming from them? They're as extreme as they can possibly be.” “This is a party of people who are motivated by their feelings; they're motivated by an image and not by the numbers, the facts, the math,” he explains, adding that “the overriding sacrament of abortion seems to be the largest driving factor for the Democratic machine.” “What were the feelings like of the people that you were actually interacting with? Were they really excited for Kamala Harris?” asks Jill. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. When Baker watched the speech from the hotel lobby alongside several other people, most of them were “cheering” for Harris. “There were people cheering in the bar area. Weight staff would stop and just gush over her,” Baker admits. As for the actual delegates who watched Harris’ speech from the hotel lobby, Baker says “they were effusive.” Some even said “it was the best speech they had ever seen.” It’s clear that they believe “this is their moment in history because they are excited about a woman of color finally becoming president of this country,” says Baker. “Doesn't matter what the issue is; it seems it's more about the looks, the feelings, the packaging than it is the actual issues themselves.” To hear more of Baker’s report, watch the clip above.

Democrats believed that population growth in high-density areas of North Carolina would help them turn the red tide, but a separate trend might crush those hopes completely. The Cook Political Report changed North Carolina from a right-leaning to a toss-up state based on demographic trends, but an analysis by NBC poll analyst Steve Kornacki says former President Donald Trump is also gaining in Republican-leaning parts of the state. 'Republicans have made gains. They sort of almost canceled each other out there.' Kornacki points out that Democrats have been able to shave down Trump's advantage in the state from a gap of about 175k votes in the 2016 election down to only 75k votes in the 2020 election against Biden. This has led many Democrats to believe that Vice President Kamala Harris might be able to turn the state blue. "One thing we see is Democratic support getting increasingly concentrated geographically into metropolitan areas, suburbs with high concentrations of college diplomas," he explained. However, despite the city and metro parts of the state becoming more Democratic, Kornacki says that Trump has been able to make up the difference by pushing the red parts of the state farther to the right. In one example cited in the analysis, Trump was able to win Hamilton County with a margin of 25 points in 2020 after former President Barack Obama lost the same county by only eight points in 2016. While the county is small in terms of population, it could be a stand-in for all the other Republican-leaning parts of the state, which are smaller in population but greater in total number, Kornacki says. "Smaller counties, more diffuse geographically, Republicans have made gains. They sort of almost canceled each other out there," he said. Kornacki went on to say that if Democrats are able to turn out the blue vote in the more populous regions, they might have a chance to win the state and switch 11 electoral votes from the red column to the blue column.

Employees at a Wells Fargo corporate office in Tempe, Arizona, say the company hasn't done enough after an employee was found dead at her desk on Aug. 20. Police said they were called to the offices by building security on a report of an unconscious employee. 'To hear she's been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick.' They found 60-year-old Denise Prudhomme dead at her desk. Police have only said that they had not found any suspicious evidence related to her death but have not released any other details. An associate who didn't want to be identified told KPNX-TV that the incident was very troubling. "It's really heartbreaking and I'm thinking, 'What if I were just sitting there?' No one would check on me?" the worker said. The associated said Prudhomme's boss had emailed her and didn't get a response. "So they went to check where she sits and that's how they found the body," said the worker. A spokesperson for Wells Fargo released a statement about the incident. We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague at our Tempe office. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and loved ones during this difficult time. Counselors, through our Employee Assistance Consulting service, are available to support our employees. The spokesperson also said the bank was cooperating with the police investigation. "To hear she's been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick," the worker said. "And nobody did anything. That's how she spent her last moments." KPNX posted video and images from the scene on its news report at YouTube. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

CNBC hosts disdainfully dismantled a Harris campaign economics advisor for trying to defend her new tax proposal on Thursday. Bharat Ramamurti, who also worked in the Biden administration, explained the proposal to tax investors on unrealized gains while appearing on "Squawk Box" with hosts Joe Kernen and Becky Quick. 'It's not income. It's not an income tax if you tax unrealized gains.' "I think it's a commonsense policy to make sure we address the problem that we have right now, which is that for people who earn most of their income through a large investment portfolio over the course of their lifetime, the effective rate they pay on that is a lot lower than somebody who goes in and teaches school every day or drives a bus or works on the factory floor," said Ramamurti. "I think that's unfair and I think most Americans agree with that." He also claimed that no one who earns under $400,000 a year would face new taxes and that a hundred million Americans would get a tax cut. Quick challenged him that the tax would discourage investment, but a later exchange made the CNBC hosts laugh at his argument. "Taxing unrealized gains just doesn't seem fair in any sense of the word," said Quick. "If you are taxing unrealized gains, all you're doing is pulling forward the taxes that would be paid later when somebody actually sells the stock." "I think that this reaction to unrealized gains is a little funny given that I bet that the majority of people watching right now are already paying a tax on unrealized gains, it's called a property tax," he replied. "Property tax," Kernen muttered. "It's tiring. It's not the same. It's always the go-to answer." "Property tax is a use tax. That's a use tax, you're paying for schools. And the value of your home never moves the way a stock moves," Quick countered. "You're paying for schools, you're paying for emergency services, those are things that make absolute sense." Ramamurti tried to claim that the existence of a property tax was similar to the unrealized gains tax proposal, which set off Kernen even more. "It's probably unconstitutional. It was never in anyone's intent to tax, and it's never gonna happen, probably," Kernen added. "It's not income," Quick said to back up Kernen. "It's not an income tax if you tax unrealized gains." Ramamurti said that the unrealized capital gains tax would only apply to less than one half one percent, or about 60,000 people. The unrealized tax proposal is just one of the many tax programs that have been suggested by the Harris-Walz campaign. Part of the segment was posted on CNBC's YouTube channel. Like Blaze News?
