Read MoreHarris’s Vague Presidential Campaign Launch Opens the Door to Bipartisan Criticism
The rough start to Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has been criticized by conservatives and normally supportive mainstream media alike, as they note her unwillingness to talk to reporters, extreme policy proposals, and severe reversals on key policy issues.
Since Harris started her presidential campaign less than four months before the presidential election, she has purposely avoided the media and been light on specifics of policy proposals. The few policy issues she has addressed have either been extremely left-wing or a 180-degree turnaround to more closely align with those of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Read MoreCommentary: Law Enforcement Collapse Masks Rising Crime Rates
Law enforcement in the United States has collapsed. Americans in many parts of the country see that products at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart stores are behind plexiglass, that you must call a clerk to unlock the glass and then wait while you read and examine the different packages. People know these companies have no choice. Americans know that crime is rising, but the true collapse in law enforcement, particularly in large cities, is without precedent.
A Gallup survey last November showed that 92 percent of Republicans and even 58 percent of Democrats believed that crime was rising. In a series of surveys from March 2023 to April 2024, Rasmussen Reports finds a remarkably constant percentage of Americans who believe that violent crime is getting worse – 60 percent to 61 percent. Roughly four times as many people think violent crime is rising rather than getting better.
Read MoreBill That Would Give Illegal Immigrants up to $150,000 to Buy Homes Heads to Gavin Newsom’s Desk
A bill passed by the California state legislature on Wednesday that would make some illegal immigrants in California eligible for generous cash assistance to buy homes has been sent to the desk for consideration of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to Politico.
Under AB 1840, illegal immigrants with social security or taxpayer-identification numbers would qualify for a program called California Dream for All that gives first-time home buyers up to $150,000, with recipients only having to pay interest if they sell the property, Politico reported. Newsom has declined to comment on whether or not he will sign the bill after some moderate Democrats joined Republicans in the California Senate in an attempt to block the legislation.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz signed a law in May 2023 as Minnesota governor that will require schools to offer “ethnic studies” courses that may include lessons on “resistance” and discussions on “social identities.”
The law requires elementary and middle schools to teach ethnic studies classes by the 2027 to 2028 school year, while high schools must offer a course on the topic starting in the 2026 to 2027 school year, though some districts have already begun implementing ethnic studies programs. The program is described as an “interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity” and says it will emphasize “perspectives of people of color” and analyze “the ways in which race and racism have been and continue to be social, cultural, and political forces.”
