by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics: I have been asked numerous times if a Donald Trump victory would equate to eliminating our computer’s projection for war. No. No one can alter a cycle once in motion. We can change the velocity at best but everyone and anyone who has tried to alter a cycle, be it […]

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ Secret Service detail was caught on video committing crimes against a local business owner during a Harris campaign event late last month in Massachusetts, according to a report. Alicia Powers, owner of Four One Three Salon in Pittsfield, said that she would have been more than happy to let the Secret Service use her business as a comfort station during Harris’ event in the city on Saturday July 27 if they had simply asked her permission. “I’m the kind of person that would have set up coffee and doughnuts for them had they asked me for permission,” said Powers. “Instead, they taped over a security camera on the back porch, broke into the salon, helped themselves to the bathroom, ate the mints on the counter and left without tidying up the bathroom or locking the back door on the way out,” according to The Berkshire Eagle, a local newspaper. The Secret Service agents never contacted her or her landlord to ask permission to enter the building. Powers had decided to close her business for the remainder of the day on the 27th because the agents were doing intense bomb sweeps in the area and things became “a little bit chaotic.” The U.S. Secret Service is apologizing to a Massachusetts salon owner after an agent covered her security camera with duct tape and broke into her salon by picking the lock so that its bathroom could be used by various people for a two-hour period.

(@yashar) August 11, 2024 The Pittsfield Police Department has been supportive of her efforts to get accountability after what Harris’ agents did. The Secret Service claims that they never would have entered the business if they were not given permission. Powers said that she did not give them permission and she feels violated, angry, and disrespected, the report said.

When she spoke to the New York Secret Service office, she said that they denied their agents would act that way and then tried to guilt her into letting go of the issue. “And he kind of ended the conversation with telling me, ‘Do you think we need to deal with this right now with what we have going on?’ And my response was, ‘Sir, I’m not trying to be rude but I don’t deserve to deal with this right now either,’” she said. Powers told Business Insider that the head of the Secret Service’s Boston-based field office caller her and apologized after Business Insider published its report. “He said to me everything that was done was done very wrong,” Powers said. “They were not supposed to tape my camera without permission. They were not supposed to enter the building without permission.”

Vice President Kamala Harris stole Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” policy proposal during a political rally on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Trump has been repeatedly touting his plan for months as a way of helping service and hospitality workers who have been financially damaged by high inflation rates that President Joe Biden sparked with massive government spending early on in his presidency. “It is my promise to everyone here, when I am president, we will continue to fight for working families, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” Harris said. Trump immediately ripped Harris on social media for stealing his policy proposal. “Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” The idea was so popular that the powerful Culinary Union, a left-wing organization, endorsed Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” proposal, as did the state’s two Democrat U.S. Senators.

On Friday morning, MSNBC's Jose Diaz Balart devoted a segment to complaining about both the Joe Biden and Donald Trump administrations slowing down the entry of illegal immigrants as the liberal host fretted that limiting immigrant entry makes it take longer for LGBT asylum seekers to enter the country. After beginning the segment by playing a clip of former President Donald Trump promising mass deportations, Diaz-Balart undermined him: You know, immigration is such a hot political topic, but when you look at it, and when you study it, it really all boils down to people. I want to introduce you to three people who were forced to leave their country of birth and experience the most horrendous abuse on their way to the United States because, for them -- for them -- asylum is literally about life or death. He then played a pre-recorded piece recalling the violence faced by gays and transgenders who travel from Central America through Mexico to reach the U.S. before bringing aboard Bridget Crawford of the group Immigration Equality to complain that it is too difficult for gays to get into the U.S.: You know, the process itself is quite daunting, and there are lots of systemic barriers that make asylum out of reach for people even who should qualify. For example, you know, there are policies that have been brought under both the Biden and the Trump administration that make people presumptively ineligible for asylum depending on whether they entered the country regardless of how strong their underlying claim is. She soon complained about gay asylum seekers being detained before their cases are heard: And I think this is particularly pronounced and hard when people are detained. So many asylum seekers are put in immigration jails just because they asked for asylum and assistance. And LGBTQ people face particularly abusive conditions in U.S. immigration jails and often struggle to find lawyers or even prepare their cases. No concerns were raised about how the system needs time to do proper background checks on illegals to make sure they have not committed crimes back in their home countries, and that there have been many cases of those with criminal records being allowed to enter the U.S. in recent years. Diaz-Balart followed up: "Yeah, I mean, so many people who make the journey to the United States in the last couple of years tell us that the worst part of their journey is when they have to go through Mexico. You've represented so many asylum seekers. Do LGBTQ people face additional dangers?" Crawford concluded by complaining about both the Biden and Trump administrations making it too difficult for asylum seekers to enter: ...But one of the biggest problems that we're running into now in Mexico is these asylum bans that have been brought under both the Trump administration and the Biden administration that makes someone ineligible for asylum if they cross the border without authorization, and this means that you have to go through a port of entry to be eligible for asylum. But the issue is, to approach this port of entry, you have to have an appointment, and you might have to wait six, seven months to get this appointment, and this strains at the LGBTQ refugees like my client, like the folks that you had in Mexico in these dangerous conditions. Diaz-Balart wrapped up: "What a horrible, horrible reality that I'm so glad that we're -- and I'm so glad that you are -- Bridget -- are doing to shine a light on this. I thank you for being with us this morning, Appreciate it." Transcript follows: MSNBC's Jose Diaz Balart Reports August 9, 2024 11:45 a.m. Eastern DONALD TRUMP: We are going to start the largest mass deportation in the history of our country because we have no choice. It's not sustainable (editing jump) ... and we're going to start with violent criminals, and we're going to start then with criminals. And our local police is going to work with us because they know everything about the people. They know their names -- they know everything about them. JOSE DIAZ-BALART: You know, immigration is such a hot political topic, but when you look at it, and when you study it, it really all boils down to people. I want to introduce you to three people who were forced to leave their country of birth and experience the most horrendous abuse on their way to the United States because, for them -- for them -- asylum is literally about life or death. (...) What are some of the challenges LGBTQ people face in getting asylum in the U.S.? BRIDGET CRAWFORD, IMMIGRATION EQUALITY: Well, I mean, I think there are a lot of them unfortunately despite the strength of their underlying claims. You know, the process itself is quite daunting, and there are lots of systemic barriers that make asylum out of reach for people even who should qualify. For example, you know, there are policies that have been brought under both the Biden and the Trump administration that make people presumptively ineligible for asylum depending on whether they entered the country regardless of how strong their underlying claim is. You know, I think another big challenge for people is navigating this very complex immigration system, often without a lawyer, especially in a language that they may not understand. Studies show that folks who have lawyers are between five and 10 times more likely to win relief, but many asylum seekers, especially if they enter across the southern border, don't have an attorney. And many folks struggle without an attorney to access the evidence that would help them prove their claim. And I think this is particularly pronounced and hard when people are detained. So many asylum seekers are put in immigration jails just because they asked for asylum and assistance. And LGBTQ people face particularly abusive conditions in U.S. immigration jails and often struggle to find lawyers or even prepare their cases. DIAZ-BALART: Yeah, I mean, so many people who make the journey to the United States in the last couple of years tell us that the worst part of their journey is when they have to go through Mexico. You've represented so many asylum seekers. Do LGBTQ people face additional dangers? CRAWFORD: Yes. I mean, this is so consistent with what we've seen. Mexico is an asylum-producing country, meaning that we have lots of Mexicans who win their cases for asylum because of what they face in Mexico. And the situation is often worse for refugees from other countries traveling through Mexico who may not have any support system... (...) ...But one of the biggest problems that we're running into now in Mexico is these asylum bans that have been brought under both the Trump administration and the Biden administration that makes someone ineligible for asylum if they cross the border without authorization, and this means that you have to go through a port of entry to be eligible for asylum. But the issue is, to approach this port of entry, you have to have an appointment, and you might have to wait six, seven months to get this appointment, and this strains at the LGBTQ refugees like my client, like the folks that you had in Mexico in these dangerous conditions.

On Friday's CNN Newsnight, contributor Scott Jennings wisecracked "I'd just like to first welcome Kamala Harris, the vice president, into the Republican Party" after a look at Kamala Harris's new ad on immigration. The ad -- titled "Tougher" on YouTube -- features an announcer bragging, “as a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs and across the border.” They claim as vice president, Harris backed the “toughest” immigration bill in decades (but not until this year), which completely ignores Biden repealing every tough order Donald Trump imposed at the border. It ends with: “fixing the border is tough – so is Kamala Harris.” Jennings let her have it:  I’d like to be the first to welcome Kamala Harris into the Republican Party! Her new immigration ad is … something. My latest on @cnn. pic.twitter.com/iJPuTWLL7Y — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) August 10, 2024 JENNINGS: Well, I mean, I saw her ad today and I thought, did I – did I miss something in the, did she switch parties? Is she now running as a Republican? Because if you were a space alien and you landed on this planet and you knew nothing, and you watched that ad, you’d say, ‘Well that Republican, she looks pretty tough on the border right now. There is no conceivable way that any person in this country is going to believe that Kamala Harris or any Democrat candidate for president, after everything they’ve said and done, is going to be tougher on the border than Donald Trump. I want to Venmo the DNC right now, so they'll keep running these ads and keep reminding people of what a disaster this is. Republicans argued all along that Biden repealed Trump's policies by executive order, and he could restore them by executive order.  Former RNC spokesperson Madison Gesiotto was on the CNN set, and proclaimed, "it is the gaslight of the century. You know it, I know it. You can talk about any bill you want, but the reality is they come into office, Biden-Harris come into office, they reverse a lot of the policies that were keeping people from coming over the border. And that's the reality of how we got to where we are."
