#1 - The Most Devastating Moments of Kamala Harris' Train Wreck Fox Interview — by Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

Baier gently pushed back with documented facts, and Harris briefly got that deer in headlights look she gets when she is desperately trying to find her talking points. Then she jumped on her supposed record as California Attorney General (not her current position as VP) as proof that she knew how to handle this crisis. Failing to understand that the fact that a crisis exists is proof that you have no ability to correct it.

But the most purely evil and damning part of this topic of illegal immigration was the fact that Harris could not even form the words to apologize for allowing criminals into the country that resulted in the senseless deaths of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin.

#2 - Ted Cruz Leaves Colin Allred's Campaign in Shambles With Masterful Debate Performance — by Bonchie

While Allred has been bombarding the airwaves with ads claiming he's tough on the border and a social moderate, the truth is far different. As Cruz laid out with such precision, the congressman went to Washington and did what Democrats in Washington always do. He sponsored and voted for a variety of radical, far-left policies that make most people in Texas wince. 

Over and over, on the issue of transgenderism, Allred enthusiastically voted with his party and against protecting children. Far from the rebel he claims to be, the congressman has been a rubber stamp for the most extreme facets of the left-wing agenda. He can try to run from that record, but he can't hide from it.

#3 - Kamala Goes Off the Rails in PA, but It Was Who Wasn't There That Tells the Tale — by Nick Arama

Then she dove deep into the lies, trying to whip up fear about Trump because she has nothing else. She claimed Trump would "weaponize" the DOJ against political enemies. 

Kamala once again claims President Trump "would weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies."

Many termed that "projection" in response, especially in the face of the lawfare Trump has faced as well as the efforts to toss him off ballots. 

But as she's going over the cliff, guess who wasn't there to go over with her? Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who's in a neck-and-neck race with Republican challenger Dave McCormick.

#4 - Catherine Herridge Gets Some Big Help in Push for Transcript in CBS Kamala Interview Scandal — by Nick Arama

"A strong majority of voters (DEM + GOP) think CBS should release the transcript of the 60 Minutes' Harris interview; a slight majority say CBS edited it to make her look better."

Eighty-five percent of people - including 87 percent of the Democrats, 88 percent of the Republicans, and 80 percent of the independents said they should release it. A majority of 53 percent also thought it was done to help Kamala Harris. 

On Sunday, "60 Minutes" ran again but did not address the "growing controversy" and the "widespread calls for transparency" as Yahoo called it. "60 Minutes" did not inform its viewers of the situation or mention it whatsoever.

#5 - Shocking Discovery Made On Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar's Bodyguard After Elimination — by Margaret Clark 

Since the IDF's operation in Gaza, hardly a single UNWRA school, hospital, or office space has been found without weapons or operatives. There was a tunnel network found directly under UNWRA's headquarters. Hamas tunnels are found filled with bags of UNWRA's stolen aid. 

The evidence is irrefutable. The credibility of this organization, and the UN, which should have been overseeing it, has been damaged beyond repair. The American people, Israel, and every other contributing country deserves an apology. Our leadership should answer for the blank check it wrote this incredibly blemished organization even amidst plentiful evidence of corruption.
