The Awkward Kamala Harris Interview

I watched it so you didn't have to. Here's what happened in under 5 minutes.

🧵 THREAD Image
Kamala Harris's first interview as the Democratic nominee just dropped, and she brought in VP pick Tim Walz to comfort her.

Remarkably, it took her less than a minute to bring up Donald Trump, claiming Americans are ready for "a new way forward" and that it’s time to "turn the page" on Trump.

What she failed to mention is that she's literally been in power for 3.5 years.
Then something remarkable happened. CNN unexpectedly asked a good question, pressing Harris on economic issues.

Bash brought up Harris's campaign slogan, "We're not going back," and asked, “I wonder what you say to voters who do want to go back when it comes to the economy, specifically because their groceries were less expensive, housing was more affordable when Donald Trump was president.”

Harris’s response fell flat.
But the questioning didn't stop there. Bash put Harris on the spot over her shifting stance on fracking.

Harris had previously stated in 2019, "There is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking," but now she claims, “I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as vice president.”

Ummm… what?

Bash pushed back on Kamala a second time, reminding her that she previously said she was in favor of banning fracking.
Then came the question about the border crisis—a glaring issue for the Biden-Harris administration.

When Bash asked why it took three and a half years to implement asylum restrictions amidst record illegal border crossings, Harris didn't hesitate to shift the blame to Trump.

Yes, this really happened.

Her administration has had nearly four years to address the border, and yet she circles back to Trump as the scapegoat.
Bash questioned Kamala on Trump’s allegations of “turning black” for “political purposes.”

After a long and awkward pause, Kamala replied that Trump’s using the “same old tired playbook” before saying, “Next question please.”

This is actually a new play that Trump developed for Kamala Harris specifically.
Tim Walz finally got his first question when his claims of serving in war crumbled on air.

In a 2018 video clip, Walz said: "We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at."

The truth is that Walz has never served in a war.

And when confronted on it, Walz dodged the question before blaming his misleading statement on poor English.
Then, the most important question of the night dropped. CNN’s Dana Bash asked Harris if she had any regrets about hiding Biden’s cognitive decline from the public.

Kamala said with a straight face, “No.”

Remarkably, she continued to gaslight the public even more by saying Biden is "smart" and has the "intelligence" and "judgement" to serve as president.
While you're here, don't forget to follow this page for more threads like this one and weekly news roundups each Sunday.
Next, came the most painful moment to watch of the night.

Kamala Harris broke down in tears when she recalled the day that Joe Biden told her that he was dropping out of the race.

She continued to tell an elaborate story of how she was eating breakfast when it happened. Skip this video unless you think you can handle it.
In the final moments, Kamala attempted to quell the concerns of every doubter who’s called her a “DEI hire.”

“Listen, I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender."
Thanks for reading! If you made it all the way to the end, you’re a champ.

For something a little less painful to get through, check out my thread on RFK Jr. His latest interview with Dr. Phil will literally blow your mind.

Elon Musk Reveals Shocking Surge in Social Security Numbers for Non-Citizens

“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk said. And once you see the numbers, it’s hard to look away.

🧵 THREAD Image
Elon Musk lit up the stage in Green Bay on March 30, 2025, as he hosted a packed town hall in support of conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel.

The event opened with a nod to local culture. Musk walked out wearing a cheesehead, signed it, and launched it into the cheering crowd.
But the mood quickly shifted. A heckler tried to derail the event, and Musk shot back.

“It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience. Give my regards to George! Say hi to George for me!” he jabbed.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried This Week

#10 - Joe Rogan guest completely shatters the polio narrative.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries challenged one of the most sacred beliefs in medicine: that vaccines eradicated polio.

The truth is – polio wasn’t eradicated. Polio is actually “still alive and well,” Dr. Humphries declared. It’s just that a few sleights of hand made the world believe otherwise.

What largely brought polio cases down, according to Humphries, wasn’t the vaccine’s impact—it was a change in the way polio was defined.

“Polio is called different things today,” Humphries explained. “Whereas back in the 1940s, 1950s, the criteria for diagnosing polio were completely different to the year that the vaccine was introduced. The playing field, the goalposts—everything was changed… they were able to show a complete cascading drop of paralytic polio simply because of the way they changed the definitions of what polio is and what could cause it.”

After the vaccine rollout, cases that would’ve been diagnosed as polio were now labeled as Guillain-Barré syndrome, coxsackievirus, echovirus, or chalked up to lead or mercury poisoning.

She also pointed to another key factor: environmental toxins. The rise in polio diagnoses, she said, mirrored the use of toxic chemicals like DDT.

As use of neurotoxic pesticides like DDT, arsenic, and lead declined, so did toxic exposures that mimicked polio symptoms. Fewer kids were bathing in poisons that caused spinal nerve damage, so naturally, paralysis decreased.

“The tonnage of production of DDT absolutely mirrored the diagnosis for polio,” Dr. Humphries explained. Even today, she added, “The countries that still make DDT… are where we’re still seeing this paralytic polio situation happen.”

And when it comes to the poliovirus itself? It’s not quite as harmful as people think. Humphries explained that polio is actually a “commensal”—a virus that lives in most people without causing harm.

“95 to 99% of all polio is asymptomatic.” Dr. Humphries described a study of the Javante Indians, where “98 to 99% of every person they tested… had evidence of immunity to all three strains of polio,” yet none of the children were crippled. “They were like, ‘We don’t have any of that problem,’” she recalled.

Dr. Humphries also cited a chilling story in history. In 1916, a Rockefeller lab in Manhattan set out with “the specific stated goal… to try to create the most pathological, neuropathological strain of polio possible.” Researchers injected monkey brains and human spinal fluid into monkeys.

And that experimentation came with devastating consequences. “There was a big problem with that, which was [polio] released into the public by accident,” Dr. Humphries explained. “And the world experienced the worst polio epidemic on record. 25% mortality.”

In short, Humphries argued that polio didn’t vanish because of vaccines. It disappeared under a mountain of redefinitions, environmental triggers, manmade disasters, and a lot of propaganda.

#9 - Greg Abbott delivers the PERFECT response after Rep. Jasmine Crockett mocked his disability and called him “Governor Hot Wheels.”

“It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate. And Americans are not buying it. It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red and why Republicans are going to continue to win elections across the country.”

“The bottom line is that Republican states like Texas are leading the way. And with comments like this by Democrats, we will just leave them in the dust in future elections.”
#8 - Bill Maher Demands Gavin Newsom Explain the Government Hoops Blocking His Roof Repair

Bill Maher has been trying to make changes to his roof for years, but California’s endless red tape keeps getting in the way. Frustrated by the needless bureaucratic hurdles, Maher finally had the chance to confront Governor Gavin Newsom face-to-face and ask why even basic repairs feel impossible in the state.

This isn’t Maher’s first run-in with California’s regulatory nightmare. Back in 2018, when he tried installing solar panels, he faced over three years of delays due to permits and red tape.

Now, following a new roof debacle after the wildfires, Maher is fed up.

“Let’s talk about what’s important: my roof,” Maher said firmly to Newsom.

“Your roof?” Newsom asked—surprised.

“My roof,” Maher reiterated.

Maher explained that after a wildfire damaged his roof, he chose to repair it exactly as officials recommended. But instead of being able to move forward quickly, he encountered more unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles.

“Two inspections I needed to have—why?” Maher asked. “It’s my roof. If it falls on my head, that’s my problem.”

“That’s it? That’s just a statement,” Newsom replied.

“No, that’s my question,” Maher shot back. “Why do I need two inspections, which I have to pay for? Yeah, you were here last time we talked about regulations. You said, ‘Oh, it’s a completely new day.’ That’s a quote from you. ‘Completely new day.’”

Newsom then referenced Ezra Klein’s book, Abundance, suggesting that liberal governance often becomes too focused on process instead of outcomes—essentially admitting that Maher’s roof situation was a perfect example. He vaguely promised to remove some of the hurdles.

Maher—seeing through Newsom’s political speak—wasn’t satisfied. “How’s that going, though?” he asked.

California is drowning in red tape—and Bill Maher just put Gavin Newsom on the spot to explain why. See how Newsom responds.

He vaguely promised to eliminate some of these hurdles.

Maher—seeing through Newsom’s political speak— wasn’t satisfied. “How’s that going, though?” he asked.
Shortly after this exchange, Newsom’s rebranding as a moderate fell apart when Bill Maher called out California’s rule that kept parents in the dark if their child changed their gender identity.

“So what do you say to people who say… ‘Governor, you were the poster boy for a lot of this [woke] stuff?’” Maher asked.

“I see today the Trump administration talked about the fact that California had a rule that schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids in school have changed their gender, their pronouns. That’s the kind of thing—even though it doesn’t affect a lot of people—that makes a lot of people go, ‘Well, you know what? That’s the party without common sense,’” Maher added.

Newsom tried to deflect, framing the issue as protecting students: “I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was you would be fired, a teacher would be fired if a teacher did not report or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity. I just think that was wrong. I think teachers should teach. I don’t think they should be required to turn in kids.”

Maher quickly called out the political spin: “Turning in? We’re talking about their parents. How can you snitch?”

BREAKING: Utah just became the first state to officially ban fluoride in all public drinking water.

For decades, fluoride was accepted as a safe way to prevent tooth decay.

But some lawmakers are reversing course after new evidence raised serious concerns.

What changed? And why are they taking action now?

🧵 Let’s take a closer look.Image
For decades, fluoride was promoted as a simple way to prevent tooth decay. Few questioned it.

But last year, in a dramatic legal twist, a federal judge ruled that fluoride may actually lower children’s IQ—and cited evidence that could upend everything we thought we knew.

That ruling sent shockwaves through the public health world.Image
Judge Edward Chen pointed to scientific studies showing a “high level of certainty” that fluoride exposure “poses a risk” to developing brains.

He ordered the EPA to reexamine its safety standards, warning that the margin for safety may be far too narrow. Image

RFK Jr. Drops Stunning Vaccine Announcement

It’s finally happening. This changes everything.

🧵 THREAD Image
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just unveiled new reforms that could transform how this country treats vaccine injuries forever.

But before sharing the details with Chris Cuomo Thursday night, he exposed just how bad things really were inside the Department of Health and Human Services before he took charge.

According to Kennedy, parts of HHS were “selling patient information to each other” and actively working against one another.

That means your private health data—funded by taxpayers—was being treated like a commodity inside the same agency that’s supposed to protect it.

But it gets even worse. Kennedy said when he tried to access CMS data—patient and billing records from Medicare and Medicaid—he was told HHS would have to buy it back from another branch of itself.

“So I tried to get the CMS patient information, which belongs to the American people and belongs to HHS, and the sub-agencies said we have to buy it from them, and it doesn’t make any sense. There are sub-agencies that refuse to give us patient data,” Kennedy lamented.

This kind of red tape, he argued, is exactly what’s prevented progress. But change is already in motion.

Kennedy pointed to DOGE—the Department of Government Efficiency—as one of the major drivers of reform.

“We’re going from 82,000 workers to 62,000. That’s tough on everybody. But I think in the long run we’re going to have much greater morale in a demoralized agency,” he said.
The vaccine injury news broke when Kennedy announced that the CDC is creating a new sub-agency focused entirely on vaccine injuries—a long-overdue shift for patients who’ve spent years searching for answers without any support from the government.

“We’re incorporating an agency within CDC that is going to specialize in vaccine injuries,” Kennedy announced.

“These are priorities for the American people. More and more people are suffering from these injuries, and we are committed to having gold-standard science make sure that we can figure out what the treatments are and that we can deliver the best treatments possible to the American people.”

For years, the vaccine-injured have felt ignored or dismissed, as public health agencies refused to even acknowledge the problem. Now, there’s finally an initiative underway to investigate their injuries and to provide support.

Joe Rogan Guest Completely Shatters the Vaccine Narrative

Everything you’ve been told is a lie—especially when it comes to polio.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions, reveals what really made all those polio cases disappear after the vaccine was introduced.

🧵 THREADImage
Dr. Suzanne Humphries, former board-certified nephrologist and co-author of  Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, just made a bombshell appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience—and what she shared will completely change how you think about vaccines.

Most people are told vaccines are “safe and effective” with no real downside. But Dr. Humphries pulled back the curtain on decades of deception, starting with a major turning point in 1986—when President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act into law.

Before that, vaccine manufacturers were getting hammered with lawsuits. Humphries explained that after the 1976 swine flu vaccine disaster, Guillain-Barré cases were piling up. It got so bad that the companies couldn’t even get insurance.

They ran to the government and basically said: “Bail us out, or we’re done making vaccines.” So the government stepped in. First, it agreed to cover the lawsuits. Then came the 1986 law—sold to the public as a way to help injured families get compensation faster, but in reality, it became a kangaroo court system that rarely paid families deserving of vaccine injury claims.

Companies like Wyeth (now Pfizer) admitted their vaccines were “unavoidably unsafe,” yet instead of making them safer, they were handed blanket immunity.

Humphries explained that this opened the floodgates for “creativity” by the vaccine makers. They could now play with adjuvants without fear of being sued. Profits soared, and the childhood vaccine schedule expanded rapidly.
That freedom also meant cutting corners in safety testing. Most people assume vaccines are tested like other drugs—with placebo controls. But that’s not the case. Instead, vaccines are actually tested against other vaccines, which obscures negative outcomes.

“The few studies that exist with saline placebos show how bad the vaccine actually is and how it makes you not only not respond to the disease when it comes around, but more susceptible to it in many cases,” Dr. Humphries explained.
