Kamala Harris’ Question About Trump’s Health Sets Off Speculation On Social Media

At a rally in North Carolina recently, Vice President Kamala Harris asked a question about the health of her Republican opponent, former president Donald Trump, that set off waves of speculation on social media regarding what exactly the ex-president is hiding by refusing to release his full medical records.

“He’s not being transparent with the voters,” Harris began. “He refuses to release his medical records.”

Harris also noted that Trump had steadfastly refused to sit for an interview with “60 Minutes” and has also said he won’t debate again before the election, which prompted her to ask, “It makes you wonder, why does his staff want him to hide away? One must question: Are they afraid that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America?”

Those are fair questions, especially considering that Trump is 78 years old and would be 82 if he served another term in office. After all, Trump and his Republican allies have repeatedly questioned the health and acuity of President Joe Biden, who will turn 82 in November.

Harris has released a full medical report, something Trump has never done. And those records showed she was in “excellent health,” CBS News reported.

Vice President Kamala Harris is in “excellent health” and “possesses the physical and mental resiliency” required to serve as president, her doctor said in a letter released Saturday summarizing her medical history and status. 

Dr. Joshua Simmons, a U.S. Army colonel and physician to the vice president, wrote that 59-year-old Harris maintains a healthy, active lifestyle and that her most recent physical last April was “unremarkable.”

Harris’ question set off a wave of speculation and suggestions on Twitter/X.

Trump Suggests Using The Military Against ‘Radical Left’ Voters

Failed and disgraced former president Donald Trump decided today that he’d go ahead and say the quiet part out loud.

During an interview with Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, Trump was asked if he was “expecting chaos on election day.”

The twice-impeached and multiply-indicted ex-head of state replied, “Not from the side that votes for Trump. I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and destroying our country, by the way, totally destroying our country, the towns, the villages, they’re being inundated.”

“But I don’t think they’re the problem in terms of election day,” he added. “I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics.”

Then came a call for the military to deal with anyone who disagrees with him.

“And I think they’re the big, and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”

In that same interview, Trump also tried to justify raising the price of nearly every good sold in the United States by imposing massive tariffs.

“But what about the criticism, and the Journal has done this as well, that if you do put something like a 200% tariff on a product, that it’s only gonna mean higher prices for consumers?” Bartiromo asked. “It’s gotta be passed on somehow.”

“All I’m doing is saying, I’ll put 200 or 500, I don’t care,” Trump responded. “I’ll put a number where they can’t sell one car into the United [States], I don’t want them to sell their car, because I don’t want them hurting our car companies.”

If Trump does happen to win in November, the United States will soon resemble Germany under Hitler. We can’t let that happen. It’s our sacred duty as Americans to vote against this wannabe tinpot dictator and then demand he be sent to prison for the rest of his life.

The Reason Trump Is Campaigning In Dark Blue States Should Worry Every American Voter

Over the next week, Donald Trump will hold campaign rallies in three states that are longtime Democratic strongholds: California, Colorado, and New York.

Why would a candidate seeking to win a national election waste resources and time in states that have been dark blue for decades and are trending further to the left yearly?

According to an illuminating article from Heather Digby Parton in Salon, it appears Trump is chasing crowds to satisfy his massive ego and give the appearance that he’s winning, even though most polls show otherwise.

Parton cites this comment from a Trump adviser as proof:

“Choosing high-impact settings makes it so the media can’t look away and refuse to cover the issues and the solutions President Trump is offering. We live in a nationalized media environment and the national media’s attention on these large-scale, outside-the-norm settings increases the reach of his message across the country and penetrates in every battle ground state.”

Trump is an egomaniac. We’ve always known that. But there could also be darker forces at work behind the scenes that involve Republican plans to steal the 2024 election even if Vice President Kamala Harris winds up winning more votes than the disgraced ex-president.

All of this is to say that Trump seems to have a Plan B in mind if he loses the election again and he wants to make sure he’ll have a Republican House and Senate on January 6, 2025 just in case they want to contest the transfer of power again. It’s almost as if he’s looking forward to it.

Remember, his campaign manager Chris LaCivita made it clear that they were prepared to contest all the way. He said, “It’s not over until he puts his hand on the Bible and takes the oath…. It’s not over on Election Day. It’s over on Inauguration Day, ‘cause I wouldn’t put anything past anybody.” I assume the Democrats understand this and are prepared for everything, right?

If the GOP manages to maintain control of Congress, they would then have the power to refuse certification of the vote and throw the election into the House of Representatives, which would choose the next president. And if the House and Senate remained in GOP hands, that would mean Republicans would no doubt choose Trump, despite what voters have said with their ballots.

The 2024 would be stolen. But legally, and likely with the blessings of the Supreme Court, which would cite the Constitution as mandating the electing of the head of state by Congress. Yes, that would disenfranchise millions of voters, but the high court did exactly that in 2000 when they handed the White House to George W. Bush.

What we need is a genuine Blue Wave, an overwhelming show of support for Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot that cannot be denied or overturned without the risk of a national uprising. We cannot risk letting a far-right Supreme Court install Trump. The power is in our hands, but we have to use it.

Barack Obama Donald Trump Elections Viral Video

Obama Goes Viral By Skewering Insecure Trump With Hilarious Diaper Joke

At a jampacked campaign rally in support of Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday evening in Pittsburgh, former President Barack Obama commented on the man who followed him in the White House that went viral in less than an hour and continues to be shared on social media this morning.

Obama praised a proposed tax credit of $6,000 for new parents that’s part of Harris’ economic plan, noting, “She wants to make it easier to afford stuff like a crib, or a car seat or diapers.”

“I remember changing diapers,” he added. He then asked the rallygoers, “Do you think Donald Trump ever changed a diaper?”

The room erupted in laughter when someone in the crowd yelled, “His own!”

 “I almost said that but decided I shouldn’t say it,” Obama replied as the audience began laughing and applauding again.

Obama added, “Instead of giving more tax breaks to billionaires and raising prices on working families, Kamala will give a tax cut to 100 million middle-class and working people here in America.”

The former president’s remarks in Pittsburgh clearly struck a nerve with the Trump camp as campaign communications director Steven Cheung fired off an angry response.

“Barack Hussein Obama couldn’t even make a coherent defense of Kamala Harris’ record because even he knows she represents a disastrous four years of skyrocketing inflation, an out-of-control border, and rampant crime that terrorizes communities across the country.”

Nice try, Steven, but that’s not going to make the diaper comment disappear, and it’s likely to increase the damage inflicted by Obama, who remains incredibly popular with the American electorate.

Obama’s remarks were hailed online.

Trump’s Latest Boast Of ‘No Empty Seats’ At His Rallies Backfires On Him Seconds After He Makes It

According to failed one-term and twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, no one has bigger crowds than he does at his campaign rallies. The venues are always packed to the gills with thousands more assembled outside wishing they could have had the honor of getting in.

However, photographic evidence from a rally Trump held Wednesday in Reading, Pennsylvania, suggests that like everything the Donald says, the opposite is almost always true.

Trump told the audience in Reading, “We do a lot of these beautiful rallies, and it’s so great. We never have an empty seat, never have, look at it.”

However, photos of the event prove otherwise, as sections closest to the stage where Trump was speaking were indeed full, other parts of the arena certainly weren’t.

Here’s a photo from Alex Brandon of the Associated Press:

Libbey Dean of NewsNation also provided a video that contradicted Trump’s no empty seat claim.

Washington Post Columnist Dana Milbank joined the documentation, too.

That was all it took to set off a wave of well-deserved mockery aimed directly at the disgraced ex-head of state.

“OMG!!! Look at all of the empty seats at Trump’s rally in Reading, Pennsylvania! This is so humiliating for the Trump campaign. Nobody shows up to his rallies anymore!”

“BREAKING: As Donald Trump talks about his sellout crowds, this video clearly shows empty seats. Americans are sick and tired of Donald Trump’s BS. Retweet to make sure every American knows Trump’s rallies have low energy and low attendance.”

“My kid’s had their high school graduations at this same arena as Trump’s rally tonight in Reading, Pennsylvania. There were not as many empty seats there for their graduating classes of 335 and 352 students. The arena can hold 8800 for concerts.”

“BREAKING: Donald Trump says ‘we never had an empty seat’ to an audience full of empty seats.”
