Noteworthy: The 2024 election has devolved into a question of facts versus feelings, of plans versus platitudes. The issue in which this separation is most apparent is the economy. While Donald Trump’s campaign tries to remind people of the prosperity they enjoyed when he was president, Kamala Harris’ campaign tries to make people forget her role in decimating the economy for the last four years.
One does not need to be a Republican or an economist to appreciate that the very straight-forward vision Trump and J.D. Vance have for the economy. Conversely, one must be either gullible or blind to ignore the fact that the Harris-Walz economic “plan” has no substance at all. Watch the video and decide if you have common sense or if you’re brainwashed.
According to The Gateway Pundit:
A video that’s getting a lot of attention on Twitter/X shows a side by side comparison of how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris answered what is basically the same question. What is your plan to lower costs.
It’s truly stunning when you hear their answers to the question because Trump has a real plan while Harris responds with one of her typical word salads.
The Trump clip is from the rally he did with Sarah Sanders. This was his answer, via REV News:
Good. Very good. Thank you. So, we have to start, always, with energy. Always. I don’t want to be boring about it, but there’s no bigger subject. It covers everything. If you make donuts, if you make cars, whatever you make, energy is a big deal. And we’re going to get that. It’s my ambition to get your energy bill, within 12 months, down 50%. If I can do that, we’ve done a hell of a job. 5-0, 5… Not 15, 50.
Interest rates are going to follow. And actually, they’re going to follow for another reason. The economy is now not good. And interest rates, you’ll see, they’ll do the rate cut and all the political stuff tomorrow, I think. And, “Will he do a half a point? Will he do a quarter of a point?” But the reason is because the economy’s not good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to do it. But we’re going to get interest rates down.
And we got to work with our farmers. Our farmers are being decimated right now. They’re being absolutely, absolutely decimated. And one of the reasons is we allow a lot of farm product into our country, and we’re going to have to be a little bit like other countries. We’re not going to allow so much. We’re going to let our farmers go to work.
This is how Kamala Harris answered the same question at her Oprah event. Via the New York Post:
When a viewer asked Harris what her plan is “to help lower the cost of living,” she replied: “Yours is a story I hear around the country as I travel. In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American dream is, for this generation and so many recently, far more elusive than it’s been.”
“And we need to deal with that,” she said, only offering the possibility of “bringing down the cost of everyday necessities, including groceries,” which have risen during her administration under President Biden.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

Everyone has an a*hole.
But Harris IS an a*hole.
