Bernie Sanders: Kamala Is Laying Out a ‘Strong Progressive Agenda’
Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) praised Kamala Harris for unveiling a “strong progressive agenda” during her economic speech on Friday.
Harris in her speech proposed communist-style price controls on food, claiming she would help Congress pass a national ban on “price gouging” for food and groceries.
She also pledged to provide $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time home buyers and to create three million new homes if elected.
Naturally, far-left Sanders was ecstatic over her proposals.
“I think given the fact she has been a candidate for only three weeks I think she’s doing really really well in a whole lot of ways. I think what she laid out today was a strong progressive agenda,” Sanders said on MSNBC’s “All In.”
“Obviously in the weeks and months to come, I think she will add more specificity to some proposals and she’s going to add to it. I have always believed that good policy is good politics. What she is talking about today is reining in the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs, that’s enormously popular and the right thing to do.”
“She’s talking about building 3 million units of affordable housing at a time when we have a housing crisis in Burlington, Los Angeles and everyplace in between,” Sanders continued. “We have to lower the cost of housing in America. She’s talking about ending medical debt so that a quarter of the people in this country who have cancer do not have to deplete their savings or go bankrupt.
“She’s talking about controlling the cost of groceries when we know there’s been massive concentration of ownership in that industry. They spike prices up and going after them is exactly the right thing to do and very good politics.”
Harris’ policy proposals are so radical that even the liberal media like CNN and the Washington Post condemned them, warning that price controls are a key feature of failed communist regimes.
?CNN just DESTROYED Kamala Harris’s Marxist economic agenda:

“When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?” reads the headline of the opinion piece by WaPo columnist Catherine Rampell. “It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is.”

Harris’ policy platform is shaping up to be so radical that even fellow Democrats are urging her to keep them hidden until AFTER the election.
In other words, you’ll have to vote for Kamala to find out what she stands for — a signature Democrat tactic.
When Comrade Bernie Sanders is expressing enthusiasm over these policy proposals, once can be sure they’ll be extremely destructive to the American people.

Israel Expects US and Other Allies to Help Bomb Iran
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has said his country expects not only the United States but also its allies, including Britain and France, to assist in offensive operations against Iran, in the event of a direct conflict.
Katz made the comments during a meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourne in Jerusalem on Friday, according to a Hebrew-language statement from his office.
”Israel expects France and Britain to publicly clarify to Iran that it is unacceptable for it to attack Israel, and that if Iran attacks, the US-led coalition will join Israel not only in defense but also in an attack against significant targets in Iran,” the statement said, as cited by the Times of Israel.
Katz reiterated in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that he made it “clear” to his colleagues that they should publicly declare that their countries “will stand with Israel not only in defense but also in striking targets in Iran.”

The French and British diplomats downplayed these assertions, with Sejourne telling reporters that it would be “inappropriate” to discuss any “retaliation or preparation for an Israeli retaliation” amid diplomatic efforts to negotiate a deal to end the Gaza war. A joint French-British statement following the meeting also made no mention of any anti-Iran coalitions.
“We have urged Iran and its proxies to stand down the ongoing threats of military attack against Israel. We have also stressed to all parties that the spiral of escalating reprisals must end,” they said in their only reference to Tehran.
The meeting in Jerusalem occurred shortly before the latest round of indirect ceasefire talks ended without breakthroughs, although there were promises to return to the negotiating table next week.
The war between Israel and Hamas has raged for 10 months since the militant group staged a deadly incursion, resulting in approximately 1,100 deaths and around 200 hostages. The large-scale Israeli ground and air response has claimed over 40,000 Palestinian lives, according to Gaza health officials.
The risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East was exacerbated by the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh, who served as the Palestinian armed group’s lead negotiator in indirect talks with Israel. He was killed in Tehran on June 31, hours after attending the inauguration of Masoud Pezeshkian as Iran’s president. Iran promised to inflict a “harsh punishment” on Israel, which has neither acknowledged nor denied any involvement in the killing.
The US has deployed additional warships and a submarine to the Middle East to protect the Jewish state from potential attacks, but it remains unclear whether Washington supports any plans to bomb Iran.
In April, when Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in retaliation for the bombing of its embassy in Damascus, US fighter jets and warships helped intercept many of the incoming projectiles. However, this was a purely defensive operation, with no direct counterstrike on targets inside Iran.
