Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma By Ben Emos and Tony Bruce | Wednesday, September 25 , 2024 | 7 min read Recently, critics have argued that Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t fully fleshed out her policies, raising concerns about the clarity of her agenda. Interestingly, this critique mirrors rhetoric often used by former President Donald Trump, who is known for diverting attention from more controversial issues. In this case, it could be seen as a way to shift the spotlight away from growing unease around the GOP’s Project 2025 and the more symbolic “eating of cats and dogs” controversy in Springfield, Ohio.

In both cases, the goal was clear: damage the opponent’s reputation through a blend of accusations, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. In yet another one of his colorful anecdotes, former President Donald Trump claimed he experienced an emergency helicopter landing alongside former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

By Tony Bruce | Tuesday , May 28, 2024 | 5 min read Amidst the fallout from his recent hush money verdict and the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search, some Libertarian voices are making it clear that their disapproval could significantly impact Trump’s political fortunes. According to reports, President Joe Biden's team plans to leverage a guilty verdict to launch more attacks against Trump ahead of the upcoming election. This strategy, perceived as a direct attempt to undermine Trump's chances, has fueled anger among his supporters. However, it is the emerging criticism from Libertarians that could pose an even more substantial threat to Trump's campaign. Trump booed repeatedly during Libertarian convention speech (AP) Libertarians, who typically advocate for limited government, personal freedoms, and a non-interventionist foreign policy, have historically had a complex r...
