Scott Jennings made a brilliant point in his appearance as a CNN panelist, and the Democrats on the panel looked displeased. Kamala is “in the White House right now,” Jennings said. “Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years.

An Axios reporter rushed to the defense of Vice President Kamala Harris’ heavily criticized proposal to control grocery prices on Tuesday, but her article was hit by a community note on X that provided some important context. Axios Markets Correspondent Emily Peck wrote, “One of Kamala Harris’ most controversial policy proposals is a ban on grocery price gouging — critics are conflating the idea with Soviet-style price controls, and calling the plan ‘Kamunism.'” Peck added, “If banning price gouging is communist, then the U.S. went Marxist long ago. Most of us live in states that already have bans in place.” Axios also posted a link to the article on X with the caption, “Don’t call it price controls: How price gouging bans really work.” X slapped a community note on Axios’ post, pointing out that the same author called it “price controls” when the U.K. considered a short-term policy in 2023 to push retailers to agree to standardized prices on certain groceries like milk and bread. In 2022, another Axios writer, Matt Phillips, referred to the G-7’s pledge to limit how much Russia could profit from oil sales as “price controls.” Don’t call it price controls: How price gouging bans really work https://t.co/tyPKx1nayt — Axios (@axios) August 20, 2024 Harris promised last week that her administration would punish companies for “price-gouging” as food prices have increased due to high inflation rates over the past three years. Bread and ground beef have risen in cost by around 50% since before the pandemic when Donald Trump was in the White House. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter have also jumped more than 30% in price since 2020, according to Yahoo Finance. Eggs are up 54%, and cereal has gone up 28% on average across the country. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Peck argued that a Harris administration would likely attempt to expand on existing state laws that seek to prevent large companies from hiking prices on essential items during emergencies, such as a hurricane. She wrote that Harris has not provided much detail on her plan, which, Peck claimed, has “led to wild speculation about what the plan could mean.” The Axios reporter also argued in favor of Harris’ proposal, writing, “One advantage of a national ban is that the federal government would have more power to go after big global corporations that are hard to pursue at the state level.” Trump referred to the Democratic nominee’s plan as “communist,” saying last week that such a proposal would “have the exact opposite impact and effect and it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation.” Even the Left-leaning Washington Post ran an op-ed blasting Harris for the price control plan. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat,” Catherine Rampell wrote. “(There’s a reason narrower ‘price gouging’ laws that exist in some U.S. states are rarely invoked.) At worst, it might accidentally raise prices.”

True to form, the Democratic Party’s 2024 foreign policy platform is as full of historical revisionism as one would predict. Its contents range from artful dodging to outright untruths. Most importantly, the platform is divorced from the actual Biden-Harris foreign policy record of the last four years. The most blatant omissions are on Afghanistan, found in a section absurdly titled “Leading with Diplomacy and American Values.” The platform gives a single cursory mention to the withdrawal, stating that the White House “ended America’s longest war” and led the “largest resettlement effort since the Vietnam War.” That’s certainly one way to describe a humiliating retreat that left Americans trapped behind enemy lines, killed 13 military heroes, ignored clear intelligence warnings, and unleashed a historic humanitarian disaster. A subsequent section touts the Biden-Harris administration as a “strong advocate for the rights and opportunities of women and girls.” Did they already forget about the millions of women and girls they relegated to Taliban rule? The platform’s discussion of Iran is Orwellian, touting the administration’s “aggressive diplomacy” to “defend against Iran.” In other words: relentless appeasement, unchecked attacks on troops and diplomats, ransom payments, and billions in sanctions relief for the leading state sponsor of terrorism. No U.S. presidency has done more to enrich and embolden the regime, and it’s not even close. Then comes Russia. The platform argues Democrats have successfully helped Kyiv “defend its territory.” Don’t they know Russia murdered its way through Ukraine under its watch? We all remember how Biden and Harris set the stage for Putin’s invasion with the “minor incursion” gaffe, repeated weapons delays, desperate diplomacy, and their refusal to sanction the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The Middle East section does its best to be all things to all people, paying rhetorical lip service to Israel while nodding to Palestinian grievances. Most incredibly, the platform touts Democrats’ supposed defense of Israel at the United Nations. Is that what they meant by restoring funding for UNRWA’s terrorism, legitimizing the anti-Semitic Human Rights Council, and letting anti-Israel resolutions pass in the Security Council? To no surprise, the platform also avoids a clear stance on deterring the Chinese Communist Party. Instead, it discusses the need to “manage” our “most consequential strategic competitor,” avert “a costly spiral to conflict,” and “identify new areas where the United States and China may be able to work together.” Forget a theory of victory — we all know this is a euphemism for accommodation and appeasing the CCP. And to remove any wonder as to whether Democrats view the PRC as America’s top security threat, the platform also clarifies that “there is nothing more important than addressing the climate crisis.” Is it even worth discussing its absurd border claims? The platform outrageously claims the White House took “decisive action to secure our border” and “decreased illegal border crossings.” Even progressives know this is a farce. Biden and Kamala willfully abetted illegal immigration and fueled border chaos. Regarding Latin America, the platform argues the Biden-Harris Administration “strengthened ties with key allies across the Hemisphere.” But their only new friends seem to be Left-wing authoritarians like the FARC (delisted as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the Blinken State Department) and Maduro, who has enjoyed sweeping sanctions relief, freed relatives, and political cover for his sham election. The platform also boasts of “historic investments” in military capacity – quite a claim from a White House that sought to cut the Pentagon’s buying power. The Biden-Harris Administration has made our military budget its smallest since World War II. And lest we forget, Kamala has even acknowledged that she “unequivocally agree[s]” with the goal of reducing the defense budget. Americans should be outraged at these distortions, which neglect the war and chaos that have spread across nearly every theater under Biden and Harris. Our national security is clearly weaker under their leadership. Americans know we are less safe and that Kamala would only accelerate the foreign policy failures of the Biden presidency. * * * Morgan Ortagus is the Founder of POLARIS National Security and host of “The Morgan Ortagus Show” on SiriusXM.

Anti-Israel protesters interrupted a live interview between late-night host Stephen Colbert and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday night, prompting Colbert to chastise them. The special episode aired live during day two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where thousands of protestors gathered to demonstrate.    Pelosi was discussing her new book, “The Art of Power,” when a woman started chanting in the back of the audience, per Deadline.  Colbert responded by saying, “For the people at home who can’t tell, there’s a protest going on in the audience right now. Hold on young lady, I can hear you. We’re actually at a commercial break but the subject is on Israel and Palestine, and if you’ll have a seat, we have to go to a commercial break and when we come back I will ask the next question I had on that subject, if you will listen.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The show went to break, and Colbert returned and asked Pelosi about her opinion on “the proper use of American power” in foreign countries.  “If the goal is the peaceful and prosperous future for both Israel and Palestinians, what role does the United States play?” the late-night host asked. She began by paraphrasing John F. Kennedy. “‘To the countries of the world, ask not what America can do for you, but what we can do working together for the freedom of mankind’ and that is our mission,” Pelosi replied.  She continued, “Yes, we’ve had a commitment to Israel, that’s been in our security interest to do so. Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization. We want the hostages freed, but we don’t want children killed in Gaza, so we have to come up with a solution.” “War has no place in a civilized society… We have to learn more about trust and peace and learning about each other rather than to have a conflict by war,” Pelosi added. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI As some audience members kept yelling, Colbert said, “As you can see from the continuing protest out here, that answer is unsatisfying to some people.” “Israel has a right to defend itself … But the other part of it that has been so major for all of us for so many years is that there must be a two-state solution. We cannot have peace unless there’s a two-state solution,” Pelosi added. “Unless you have a two-state solution, we’ll not have a resolution of this.” The yelling continued, which prompted Colbert to address the audience, saying, “Please don’t interrupt my guests.” RELATED: Protesters Breach DNC’s ‘Wall’ Before First Speaker Takes The Stage

Every musician has their own unique style, no matter what genre they play. Still, few are quite as unique as NiNi. Born in Taiwan, she is greatly inspired by Chinese folk music. But she tends to blend traditional sounds with rock, metal, and EDM. We first got a taste of NiNi’s incredible style during her unforgettable AGT audition. But now that she’s in the show’s quarterfinals, she has found a way to blow us away once again! At the start of her performance, it seems that NiNi has chosen to go with a more traditional instrument. This quickly changes, however, when she brings out a different guitar for a more metal sound. She even switches a third instrument, this time taking to a small stage directly in front of the judges. Check out her epic performance in the video below. Talented Guitarist, NiNi, Delivers an Electrifying Performance for AGT Quarterfinals I think it’s safe to say that Summer by Antonio Vivaldi and Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach have never been performed quite like this before! As the above video shows, the audience goes wild over NiNi’s unexpected performance. Even Simon Cowell, who had critiques on her song choices, admits that she is spectacular. “Most definitely go get that ice cream after such a LIT performance NiNi,” one fan shares in the comment section of her performance, with another adding, “It’s giving us some Mad Max: Fury Road vibes.” Was this performance enough to send NiNi to the AGT semifinals? There’s only one way to find out! You can watch America’s Got Talent on NBC tonight. In the meantime, we’ll be watching this performance on repeat.
