Emhoff’s Ex Opens Up about Parenting Trio w/ Kamala

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Kerstin Emhoff, the first wife of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, has spoken up about the non-existent attacks aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris for having no biological children. 

In remarks to CNN on Thursday, Emhoff claimed that Harris has acted as a parent to her children, Ella and Cole Emhoff, who were born during her marriage to Doug Emhoff, now Harris’s husband.

“These are baseless attacks,” Kerstin Emhoff claimed, citing no evidence of such attacks. “For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Dough and I. She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present.” 

Emhoff’s remarks were likely prompted by the media’s false assertion that the Trump-Vance campaign has criticized Harris for being “childless.” 

These claims are far from reality. Fueling the left’s paranoia are comments from Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, made in 2021 about politicians without children influencing the future. 

Missing from most leftist outlets’ reporting is Vance’s clarification that individuals unable to have children despite their wishes are not included in his criticism. 

As explained in a video by the Daily Caller, Vance stated that Democratic politicians should not have a “direct stake” in the country.

At the time, Vance was a private citizen running for a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio. Neither the Trump campaign nor Vance, now Trump’s running mate, have raised such criticism against Harris. 

Despite this, the Harris family rushed to counter these imaginary attacks. In a temporary Instagram post, Ella Emhoff asked, “How can you be ‘childless when you have cutie pie kids like Cole and I.” She added, “I love my three parents.” 

Ella Emhoff’s defense comes months after she came under fire for fundraising for anti-Israeli and Hamas-linked groups. 

In March, the New York Post reported her fundraising for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), whose teachers and workers were accused of participating in the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel on Oct. 7. 

In November 2023, Ella Emhoff promoted a fundraiser for the Hamas-governed Gaza Strip through the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. 

America’s Only Never-Elected President Eerily Predicted Kamala’s Rise 

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Former President Gerald Ford—the only U.S. leader never to have been elected either president or vice president—made a startlingly accurate prediction 35 years ago that appeared to harbinger the recent political rise of Vice President Kamala Harris.

During a 1989 appearance at the Herbert Hoover Library in West Branch, Iowa, Ford stated that the stigma of a woman president would only be broken if she were first elected vice president and then elevated to the presidency if her running mate were to pass away while in office.

In response to a question from a young girl seeking advice on how to become president, Ford explained that such an election would not occur in the “normal” course of events.

“Either the Republican or Democrat political party will nominate a man for president and a woman for vice president and the woman and man will win. So you’ll end up with a president a male and a vice president of female,” Ford began. 

He continued, “In that term of office, the president will die and the woman will become president under the law or Constitution and once that barrier is broken, from then on, men better be careful because they’ll have a hard, hard time ever even getting a nomination in the future.” 

Ford concluded his prediction by saying such a scenario would happen “sometime in the next four or eight years.” Nobody’s perfect.

Notably, Ford himself was elevated to the presidency after serving as vice president to President Richard Nixon, who resigned under pressure over the Watergate scandal. 

Nixon had selected Ford as second-in-command after his original vice president, Spiro Agnew, resigned over a criminal investigation.

Ford—a centrist who had previously served on the Warren Commission, which determinied no conspiracies had occured in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—became Nixon’s top choice because he was advised that the House minority leader would be most easily confirmed by Congress.

But according to some, Nixon, who was elected into office as one of the most popular presidents only to resign as one of its most reviled, may have been a target of the Deep State, much like Kennedy and former President Donald Trump.

Although Ford had a reputation for being clumsy yet amicable, behind the scenes he may have been helping intelligence operatives to cover up their Kennedy hit and to successfully execute the Nixon coup. Ford’s appointment of globalist billionaire heir Nelson Rockefeller as his own vice president only underscored where his loyalties lay.

Fast forward to 2024: Ford’s prediction is making a comeback on social media after President Joe Biden was forcibly ejected from the 2024 presidential ticket by Democrat party elites under threat that they would have the 81-year-old declared unfit to serve. Biden then endorsed Harris, his running mate, as the heir to the ticket. 

Some Democrats are even demanding Biden resign from office and make Harris the incumbent to increase the chances of winning the election. Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor and former boyfriend of Harris, is among those Democrats calling on Biden to step down.

“I hope all those Democrats who’ve been pushing Biden to quit will now show up and ring doorbells with me,” he said recently.

However, where Kennedy, Nixon and Trump all defied the demands of powerful plutocrats and paid the price for it, Bidenplayed the obedient foot soldier and is likely to be rewarded by finishing out his term, health permitting.

With attention now focused on Harris, the lame-duck, wholly unaccountable president is well positioned to ramp up his pursuit of one of the most radical and corrupt agendas in U.S. history, and to ensure that the outcome that Ford foretold long ago comes to pass as promised.

Fox News Open to Hosting Debate Between Trump and Harris, If She Is Nominee

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Fox News offered to host a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris after Joe Biden stepped out of the race on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Harris for president.

Fox News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace and Fox News Vice President of Politics Jessica Loker wrote a letter to both the Trump and Harris campaigns on July 23, 2024, proposing a debate.

“Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee, FOX News Media is amending our proposal for a debate this cycle. Given that the race has changed, we’d like to request the opportunity to host a presidential debate between VP Harris and former President Trump,” the letter stated.

They also wrote that the debate could occur in Pennsylvania in September before early voters go to the polls in the 2024 election.

“We propose to host the debate in the state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, September 17, just as early voting is getting underway there and in other key battlegrounds. We are open to discussion on the exact date, format and location – with or without an audience. Again, we believe Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, the faces of our political coverage, are the best choices to moderate,” the letter stated.

Despite the gaslighting from leftists in the media about how he is supposedly afraid of debating Harris because she is a non-white woman, Trump enthusiastically responded to Fox News the same day by saying he would “absolutely” be open to debating Harris.

However, on July 25, 2024, Steven Cheung, Trump’s Campaign Communications Director, published a statement regarding the debates, in which he wrote that the debates will not happen until Democrats make a formal and final announcement of their presidential candidate.

“Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee,” he wrote.

Cheung then pointed out that Democrats use Harris as a temporary Biden replacement until they find someone better.

“There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party – namely Barack Hussein Obama – that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone ‘better.’ Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats… could still change their minds,” he added.

Kamala Ran S.F. Program That Helped Illegals Who Were Arrested Avoid Deportation

(Headline USA) As San Francisco’s district attorney, Kamala Harris ran a program that helped illegal immigrants arrested for drug crimes avoid deportation, get jobs, and even have their records expunged.

The “Back on Track” program was run by the San Francisco district attorney’s office while Harris was district attorney from 2004 to 2011. At the time, Harris claimed she didn’t know illegal immigrants were being selected by her office to be a part of the program.

Harris claimed she learned of the loophole only after an illegal immigrant in the program attacked a San Francisco woman.

The illegal was Alexander Izaguirre, a Honduran who allegedly assaulted a young woman and left her with a skull fracture. He was chosen for the “Back on Track” program after he was arrested twice in eight months—once for stealing a woman’s purse and a second time for selling cocaine.

In 2008, while in the “Back on Track” program, Izaguirre committed another crime and stole the purse of Amanda Kiefer, a resident who had been walking to a restaurant with a friend. After stealing her purse, Izaguirre got into a SUV and ran her down, fracturing her skull.

When Kiefer’s story came to light, Harris insisted she wasn’t aware of Izaguirre’s admission into the program.

“The immigration issue, as it relates to the Izaguirre case, obviously is a huge kind of pimple on the face of this program,” Harris told the Los Angeles Times in 2009. “I don’t mean to trivialize it, nor do I mean to cover it up. My issue was more, what are we going to do to prevent this from happening in the future?”

Harris supported Izaguirre being deported after the assault and agreed to change the program to require participants to be legal U.S. residents. 

“The whole point of the program is that these people would be able to obtain and hold down lawful employment, and if they’re undocumented, they probably would not be able to do that, so it would go against the very spirit of the program,” Harris told the outlet.

However, she let the remainder of illegal immigrants in “Back on Track” complete the program and continued to support San Francisco’s sanctuary city policies.

Trump Opposes Using 25th Amendment Against Biden, Says Kamala Is ‘More Dangerous’

(Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump argued this week against invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office, warning it would be more “dangerous” to put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge.

“I don’t think they should use the 25th Amendment,” Trump told Fox News on Thursday. “Not long to go, you know, we have four months now [until the election], and then he’s got another month and a half.”

He added that removing Biden now could create even more instability.

“I will say this: The world is in a very dangerous place,” Trump noted.

“I think if [Biden] goes, [Kamala] then takes over and she’s worse than he is,” he continued. “I believe she’s a San Francisco radical. I believe she’s actually much worse and a way worse candidate than he is, and she’s not doing very well.”

Several Republican leaders have called on Biden’s Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, arguing that if Biden is not physically well enough to run for reelection, then he isn’t physically well enough to serve out his term.

Headline USA previously made the case that a similar GOP-led effort to impeach Biden was dead in the water primarily because the alternative would be having Harris lead the country.

Harris became the Democratic Party’s de-facto presidential nominee this week after Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed her.

Just as with Biden, no other viable candidate had stepped forward as of Thursday night to challenge her, meaning that the Democratic National Committee is likely to confirm her nomination on Aug. 1 without anyone having ever voted for her directly.

Trump has welcomed the new challenge, calling her a “horrible” candidate.

“I thought he was terrible, but she was terrible. She was horrible,” he said of Harris’s short-lived 2020 Democratic presidential campaign.

When asked if America could survive Harris winning November’s election, Trump said, “No,” and slammed Harris for being “the most radical person we’ve probably had in office.”

Citing Harris’s viral debate performance against Biden during the 2020 primary, during which she suggested Biden was racist, Trump added: “She was the meanest person up there. She was meaner to [Biden] than anybody else. She accused him of being racist with the buses. Not a very good debater and nasty, just nasty to him. And when he chose her, I said ‘How do you do that?’ A person treats you so badly—he was treated so badly during the debates.”

The former president also responded to Harris having refered to Trump himself as a “predator” in a speech this week.

“I think it’s disgusting,” he replied. “They say, ‘Sir, be nice. You just got hit with a bullet. Maybe he’s changed. Be nice.’ And I’d love to be nice, but I’m dealing against real garbage when you hear that.”

Amazon Sold ‘Dead’ Trump Shirts While Banning ‘Trans’ Criticism

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Jeff Bezos’s Amazon allowed a retailer to sell t-shirts featuring the sinister phrase, “The Only Good Trump Is a Dead One,” just days before President Donald Trump narrowly escaped death in an assassination attempt, Headline USA has learned.

Social media critics first noticed the sale on Thursday afternoon and called out the $1.8 trillion company for permitting such disturbing listings. The name of the store selling the shirts was not immediately available.

An Amazon spokesperson told Headline USA that the item was “removed due to noncompliance with our guidelines.” The spokesperson did not specify how many shirts were sold or whether the company would still process the profits.

The shirts, priced at $20.00, came in ten different colors and various sizes. An alleged description of the sale claimed the t-shirts were “great for anybody,” including parents, grandparents, offspring, spouses or friends, according to Fox Business.. 

According to the outlet, the listing went active on July 6—seven days before Trump was nearly assassinated in an attack that shocked the nation.

On July 13, failed assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks’s bullets grazed Trump’s right ear, fatally wounded former firefighter Corey Comperatore and critically injured two others. 

The fact that Amazon allowed the listing to remain active for several days contrasts sharply with its past actions on items deemed offensive by the left 

In 2021, Amazon banned the sale of Ryan T. Anderson’s book, When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment. The same year, Amazon temporarily banned Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage, a book some on the left deemed “anti-trans.” 

In 2015, the company shut down the sale of the Confederate Flag after the inhumane shooting of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Amazon allows the sale of Antifa and anti-law enforcement merchandise despite claiming on its website that it “does not allow products that promote, incite or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual or religious intolerance or promote organizations with such views.” 

A Headline USA review of Amazon’s listings showed the sale of pro-Karl Marx shirts and other “Resist Fascism” items. 

Massachusetts Offers Illegals Free Flights to Leave the State

(Headline USA) Massachusetts announced this week that it was offering illegal immigrants free flights out of the state as it deals with overflowing homeless shelters.

The state has right-to-shelter policies in place that require illegals to be given a maximum 30-day stay with an option to reapply. But the state’s shelters have become so overwhelmed by the influx of Biden border-hoppers that Massachusetts officials are now rolling out additional restrictions.

Starting Aug. 1, “temporary respite centers” in the state will have a five-day stay limit. 

Shelters will also start giving priority to Massachusetts families with a newborn baby, a veteran, or someone with a significant medical issue, according to the Boston Globe.

Officials have also started sending out 90-day eviction notices to push illegal immigrant families out of the state-run centers by Sept. 29. There are currently 300 families living in the shelters, according to Democrat Gov. Maura Healey’s office.

Those evicted and all other migrants looking for shelter elsewhere will be eligible for a new “reticketing” program, which will cover the airfare and travel expenses for illegals leaving the state.

“I want to be clear, particularly to people outside of Massachusetts who may have gotten word that this is a place to come, that we do not have room here in Massachusetts,” Healey said on Tuesday.

“We’ve also offered them the alternative path that they may wish to go to family members or ones they know elsewhere, communities elsewhere in the country, and I think that is a humane and appropriate thing to do,” she added, ignoring the fact that doing so would simply shift the burden onto another state or locality.

Healey also defended the new five-day stay limit, arguing it was “in line with the policies of other cities facing similar challenges as Massachusetts, and will help give families some relief for a few days while they access the diversion services we can provide, such as reticketing.”

Trump Mocks Biden’s Oval Office Address, Demands Equal Network Time

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Donald Trump criticized Joe Biden’s Oval Office address on July 24, 2024, and demanded equal network time from the media.

“Crooked Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech was barely understandable, and sooo bad!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In his follow-up post, Trump also criticized Kamala Harris.

“CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND LYIN’ KAMALA HARRIS ARE A GREAT EMBARRASSMENT TO AMERICA — THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME LIKE THIS!” he wrote.

The New York Post reported that, in his primetime address, an 81-year-old Biden insisted that he would stay in the White House through January of next year, even though many Americans previously said that Biden was not fit to remain in the Oval Office.

Biden also said that he decided to abruptly end his re-election campaign because it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation” to “unite” the Democratic Party.

A 78-year-old Trump, who had just finished his rally in North Carolina minutes before Biden’s address to the nation, listened to Biden’s “speech” on the plane.

“On Trump Force One… Hey Joe… You’re Fired!” Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita wrote on Twitter, including a photo of Trump standing in front of a TV on the plane.

Trump’s campaign also informed media outlets that they would hear from Trump’s lawyers for violating the Equal Time Rule when they broadcasted Biden’s latest speech.

“Every single network that televised this campaign speech will be getting follow-up letters from our attorneys regarding equal time,” LaCivita wrote.

Other people also talked about Biden’s latest speech.

“All politics aside, it’s sad to watch Biden slur through a farewell speech with glassy eyes and a weak voice. I agree with him that there’s no place for violence. [I was] hoping he would condemn the violence this very day in DC by Hamas supporters,” former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark., wrote.

Propagandists in mass media also talked about the speech, calling it “sad.”

“The kid with the stutter did good. Most heroes fight to the bitter end. He fell on his sword. He’s an old guy, but his heart is still there,” CNN analyst Van Jones said.

Disciplinary Actions against Maine Mass Shooter’s Fellow Army Officers to be Kept Secret

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Three Army Reserve officers were disciplined for dereliction of duty following a rampage in which reservist Robert Card killed 18 people in Maine, according to an Army report that cited communication failures within the chain of command and between military and civilian hospitals, among other shortcomings.

However, the details of the disciplinary actions are being kept secret.

“In accordance with policy, the Army will not release the names or further details of the disciplinary action taken because the officers are in the rank of colonel and below,” the United States Army Reserve Command said in a press release this week.

According to the USARC, there were multiple communication failures between military and civilian hospitals, as well as with Card’s chain of command. An Army Inspector General’s report provides more details: According to that report, Card’s close families first noticed his mental health deteriorating in early 2023.

“Card told his friends and family that people were talking about him being a pedophile, having a small penis, and being homosexual. SFC Card was convinced his civilian co-workers started the rumors, which he believed spread as a conspiracy online, leading to just about everyone believing the rumors,” the Army IG report said.

Last July, members of Card’s unit brought him to Keller Army Community Hospital (KACH) at West Point. While there, an unnamed Army official ordered him to undergo a command directed behavioral health evaluation at KACH, according to the Army IG report.

Based on that evaluation, Card agreed to an inpatient psychological evaluation and therapy at the Four Winds Hospital, a private facility in nearby Katonah, New York.

He remained voluntarily hospitalized for 19 days at Four Winds undergoing additional psychological evaluation and therapy, according to the IG report.

Later that month, Four Winds told KACH that Card may need a higher level of care, the Army IG said. Then, on July 25, 2023, Four Winds notified KACH that Card submitted a 72-hour request for discharge and release from treatment.

Four Winds then notified Card that the facility applied for a court hearing to involuntarily retain him at their facility with a scheduled court date on August 2, 2023. But before that could happen, Card withdrew his voluntary release request and consented to continue treatment at Four Winds, at which time Four Winds cancelled the court hearing.

On August 3, 2023, Four Winds discharged Card, categorizing him as “low risk” of harm to himself and others and cleared him to return to work.

It’s not clear why he was categorized as “low risk” when the hospital had considered committing him involuntarily. In any event, Card returned to his home in Bowdoin, Maine, ending his active-duty status.

About two months later, he went on his shooting spree, killing 18 people in two separate shootings.

The shootings happened Oct. 25, 2023, at a bowling alley and at a bar and grill in Lewiston. Besides the deaths, 13 survived gunshot wounds and 20 others suffered non-shooting injuries. Card allegedly died by suicide.

While Card’s mental health issues only became apparent to his family last year, the Army’s investigation revealed that he had a nasty fall from a roof in 2008. He broke his neck during that fall and may have suffered trauma to the brain, though the report said there wasn’t evidence of brain damage from the fall.

Additionally, the report revealed that Card had a bizarre “egg-sized lump on his head from an unknown origin” that one of his colleagues apparently noticed in June 2023.

However, “We found no medical documentation on this,” the Army IG report said.

‘Veep’ Show’s Viewership Skyrockets to More than 300% After Harris Enters Race

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The political satire TV series Veep became more popular after Joe Biden announced that he was ending his reelection campaign and endorsing Kamala Harris as the new candidate for the Democratic Party.

The Daily Wire reported that, even though the Emmy Award-winning HBO series starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus ended in 2019, many clips have been circulating since Biden’s announcement, with people comparing the fictional character Selina Meyer to Harris.

On July 22, 2024, the series’ viewership increased by 353% compared to the day before. On July 21, 2024, Biden announced he was dropping out. Viewers watched 2.2 million minutes of the series on MAX the day after the announcement. The day before that, it was only 486,000 total minutes.

Last year, Harris mentioned the show during an interview with Stephen Colbert, claiming that there are “bits of [the show] that are actually quite accurate” and saying she was a fan of Louis-Dreyfus.

“[Biden] is really a true partner, and he understands that job. He’s an extraordinary leader and I wish people could see what I see because there’s only one person who sits behind that Resolute Desk. And the decisions that person has to make are the decisions that nobody else in the country can make. And he’s an extraordinary leader. He really is,” she said.

The show’s creator, Armando Iannucci, responded earlier this week to fans who pointed out similarities between the comedy series and current politics.

“Let’s remind ourselves that #Veep has already written a fictional version of this script… Kamala *inherits* the actual presidency. Then runs. The electoral college is tied. The [House] vote is tied, [which] means the Senate has to choose the tie-breaking candidate. And that ends up with… JD Vance as POTUS (Nb this is DRAMA …),” one of the fans wrote.

Iannucci responded to the comment by pointing out that the show is fictional.

“Don’t forget we made all that up, though,” he said, adding in another of his comments that we are still “working on the ending.”

The news source reported that, in the show, the president resigns, leaving Meyer to ascend the office herself and later launch her campaign.
