Kamala Harris has yet to give a press conference or sit down with any journalist to discuss the construct of a campaign around her.  The media has largely tried to cover for this lack of openness, but even hardcore narrative engineers are starting to become twitchy at the extreme handling of Hawk Tuah Harris.

To deflect attention from the absence of questioning, HT Harris primary handler Brian Fallon, has arranged a scripted interview with CNN.  Together with her sketchy running mate, Tim Walz, Mrs Harris will be questioned by Dana Bash in a taped interview which will be edited, smoothed and broadcast on CNN fake news tomorrow at 9pm ET.

WASHINGTON DC – Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will face questions from CNN anchor Dana Bash in an interview expected to air 9 p.m. Thursday, the network announced Tuesday. The interview will take place in Georgia as the vice president is on a bus tour through the battleground state.  (read more)

The lawyers representing the campaign of Robert F Kennedy Jr have successfully removed RFK Jr from the ballot in Nevada after coming to an agreement yesterday with DNC lawyers who were suing to keep him off the ballot.

Essentially, team RFK JR just dropped their argument, acquiesced to the DNC position and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice. That removes RFK Jr from Nevada.  [Filing Here] This is the same process the lawyers used to get Kennedy off the ballot in Pennsylvania.

That said, Michigan and Wisconsin are not removing Robert F Kennedy Jr from those state ballots.

MICHIGAN – […] Kennedy is on the ballot in Michigan as a candidate for the Natural Law Party, which nominated him at its convention earlier this year. Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for the Michigan secretary of state’s office, confirmed to NBC News that “minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election.

WISCONSIN – […]  In Wisconsin, the state’s election commission met Tuesday to certify ballot access for presidential and vice presidential candidates. Even though Kennedy requested to withdraw his nomination petition as an independent candidate, the commission ultimately voted to decline that request, according to an archived video of the proceedings published by WisconsinEye, a nonprofit public affairs network.

“The statute literally says, ‘Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination. The name of that person shall appear upon the ballot except in case of death of the person,'” Ann Jacobs, the chair of the commission, said to another commissioner struggling with the idea of keeping someone on the ballot who didn’t want to move forward with his candidacy.

“You’re giving me this touchy, feely: ‘I feel like this shouldn’t be the law.’ The law in this case is crystal clear,” she added. “I don’t disagree with you it’s weird but I don’t see we have any discretion here.” (MORE)

♦ SUMMARY: RFK Jr is gone from ballots in the battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania and now Nevada.  Not Michigan and Wisconsin.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

President Trump confidant Dan Scavino promotes this interview between Dr. Phil McGraw and President Donald Trump. [Twitter Link]

The interview begins with a discussion of the assassination attempt against the life of President Trump and how Trump feels about the hand of God protecting him. Dr. Phil directly asks President Trump about his Christian faith and belief in God’s intervention. Within the answer, President Trump says he feels a much greater purpose ahead.

In the second half of the interview (beyond 33 min mark), President Trump is asked about the coverup of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the RFK endorsement. WATCH:

It’s really not Jack Smith, so we should drop the pretenses.  Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann have recrafted a new DC indictment against President Trump by dropping around 10 pages of fraudulent evidence from the prior indictment and labeling it a “superseding indictment.”

The 36-page indictment is available HERE.  Essentially, after the supreme court decision on immunity, the majority of the previous case against President Trump was likely to fail, so Mary, Norm and Andrew went back and modified the previously lawfare to fit a narrower scale as requested by the supreme court.

The Lawfare crew then hand off the indictment to Jack Smith who runs it through a Grand Jury, and re-files it as a new set of issues; however, the majority of the case is structurally the same, they just took out the evidence they were using.  This fiasco does not appear to be any better than the previous pages of Lawfare.

(Via Politico) – […] The new indictment removes some specific allegations against Trump but contains the same four criminal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States. It’s a signal that Smith believes the high court’s immunity decision doesn’t pose a major impediment to convicting the former president.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” Smith’s team wrote in an accompanying court filing.

President Trump announced via Truth Social that both political campaigns had agreed to terms of a presidential debate on September 10th.  However, according to Politico – the Harris campaign is saying they did not agree to all the outlined terms.

.

(Via Politico) – […] the Harris campaign rejects the claim that the Sept. 10 debate will have the same rules from June. The issue regarding whether mics will be turned on during the entire debate is still being discussed, a Harris campaign official said.

“Both candidates have publicly made clear their willingness to debate with unmuted mics for the duration of the debate to fully allow for substantive exchanges between the candidates — but it appears Donald Trump is letting his handlers overrule him. Sad,” a Harris campaign official said in a statement to POLITICO.

Several people have asked why the recent outlines about Tulsi Gabbard (Trump endorsement) and RFK Jr (Tucker Carlson interview), were presented without any opinion or analysis to accompany the articles.  Allow me to explain.

Friends, first, I am in action mode identifying who specifically is uploading state/county level registration data for key state ballot printing operations.  It sounds like boring footwork because it is, well, boring footwork.  This is not sexy, but hopefully this can have a big impact where needed.

Additionally, I am also just like you – trying to figure out how the intersections of the IC are playing out within this newly created coalition of MAGA and influential Democrats, the Unity Party as it is termed.

Essentially, on some aspects to these recent developments I’m trying to figure it out along with you; while my attention is operating at lower level toward what might be called the theatrics of political events.  Ballots matter right now more than all this other stuff.

That said, I am certainly not buying a lot of what is being put directly in front of me to purchase.  Someone recently said we have just accepted this intelligence operation of the 4th branch of government as if it is a hurdle to jump, or a gate with a lock to pick.

I’m not the guy that just accepts this stuff as our – “new normal.”  Eff these IC clowns.

Another aspect is how all of these anti-Trump anti-commonsense narratives (essentially lies) over the past several years are just accepted as the baseline for point making.  I just tune the conversation out because the premise is false, like RFK Jr saying yesterday that President Trump is “reprehensible” for what he did on January 6th, and Tucker Carlson just sitting there nodding in agreement like a goofy tool.

My mind sees that conversation and says, “what the heck is that all about?”  They both seem intelligent, Tucker has presented the FBI J6 stuff before, and yet they talk about J6 as if Trump was raging at people to attack Capitol Hill government.

Great, years later, at a time when it seems that no one cares about the issue, nor will anyone in a position of capability actually do anything about what he now admits, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he was working with the White House specifically to censor Americans by removing content on social media and he regrets it.

Just effen’ perfect…. The zombie minded leftist killers of speech and information, have overwhelmed the ramparts, crossed the moat, destroyed our gates, constitutional defenses and drawbridges, and are now bashing loudly on the interior doors in their bloodlust effort to take full control.  Meanwhile the few of us who remain are on the other side of that splintering door; veins bulging, muscles strained, pushing and holding back with all our might against every surge and attack wave…. and Zuckerberg nervously says, “whoops, sorry for dropping the drawbridge guys.”  Good grief Mark, shut up and grab an axe now!
