Kamala Harris Refuses Fox News Debate Against Trump
The Kamala Harris campaign is apparently refusing to debate Donald Trump on Fox News which the former president announced on Friday.
Trump on Truth Social said he agreed to a debate against Harris with Fox News on Wednesday Sept. 4 before a live primetime audience.
“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”
“The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined. The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!….”
But the Harris campaign responded Saturday that Trump is “running straight to Fox News to bail him out” and insisted he commit to the ABC debate on Sept. 10.
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement Saturday.

“He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.”
“We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”
As Trump already explained, he’s in the middle of a defamation lawsuit against ABC News and doesn’t want to create a conflict of interest with the network he’s litigating against.
Despite the Harris campaign’s talking point that Trump is too scared to debate Harris, many prominent political commentators had their own interesting takes.
“Trump agreed to debate Biden. Biden then dropped out of the race after everyone saw his brain was made of pudding. At no point did Trump ever agree to debate someone who wasn’t even nominated and hadn’t received a single vote,” The Federalist’s Sean Davis wrote.

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly noted, “He went on CNN for a debate w/a network that loathes him (not to mention to the NABJ). @BretBaier & @marthamaccallum would be totally professional & fair & have a history of asking Trump hard Qs – I know, I was there. Why is she too scared to do this on Fox?”

Donald Trump Jr. wrote, “My father already did a debate with Fake News CNN, so is Kamala going to accept the debate with Fox News? Or is she going to be a coward and back out?”

ALX summed up the development: “Donald Trump agreed to a debate with Joe Biden. Biden backed out when he quit the race. Kamala Harris called for Trump to debate her. Donald Trump proposed a new date. Kamala Harris is now refusing to debate Trump.”

It remains to be seen if Harris will relent and ultimately agree to the Fox News debate against Trump.
About Face! SecDef Austin Kills Plea Deal That Would Spare 9/11 Plotters From Death Penalty
In a stunning turnaround, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has killed the deal that would have spared three major 9/11 defendants from the death penalty in exchange for their admissions of guilt.
The Friday move came just two days after the Pentagon ignited a firestorm of controversy by announcing the plea bargain agreement — a deal that angered 9/11 victims yearning for maximum accountability, and for the revelation of new facts about the attacks.
“I have decided that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused…responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009,” wrote Austin in a memorandum addressed to Susan Escallier, a retired Army brigadier general and military lawyer who has been overseeing the Guantanamo prosecutions. That puts potential death penalties back in the mix.

Nearly 23 years after the attacks that killed 2,977 people and radically changed the course of history, the US government has yet to conduct a trial against 9/11 defendants who’ve been held at the US Navy base at Guantanamo, Cuba. Recent years have been consumed by pre-trial clashes over the admissibility of statements made by detainees who were subjected to the US torture regime.
The US government has efficiently prosecuted many non-9/11 terror cases in civilian federal courts — including the one that centered on the first attack on the World Trade Center, which came in a 1993 truck bomb explosion meant to topple the towers. The Bush-Cheney regime’s decision to prosecute 9/11 defendants as “enemy combatants” via military tribunals overseen by Pentagon officers with uniformed juries sent the pursuit of justice into a quagmire.
That would have caused enough problems, but the complexity of the 9/11 prosecutions has been compounded enormously by the Bush-Cheney regime’s decision to torture the accused. The plea bargain agreement announced Wednesday offered an opportunity to end a seemingly endless cycle of pretrial motions and discovery aimed at sorting out and potentially excluding incriminating statements made while being tortured — by opting against death penalties for what likely would have been sentences measured in thousands of years.
Of course, many Americans including family members of those killed on 9/11 understandably want to see the three defendants covered by the nixed deal — alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi — put to death. However, it should be noted that death penalties at the end of a full trial are far from assured, as defense attorneys will argue the government’s torture of their clients should be factored into the sentencing decision. Mohammad alone was waterboarded 183 times.
While there’s something to be said for putting a relatively expeditious end to literal decades of slow-grinding “justice,” many 9/11 family members and survivors hope that full trials of the defendants will help them pursue a different avenue of justice — by illuminating links between the 9/11 plot and Saudi government officials.

The same day the plea deal was announced, 9/11 plaintiffs were in a federal courtroom in New York, where Judge George Daniels was hearing arguments over Saudi Arabia’s motion to dismiss a long-running civil suit that seeks to hold the kingdom liable for logistical and financial aid the hijackers appear to have received from a web of Saudi officials operating out of the Saudi embassy in Washington and the consulate in Los Angeles.
As they’ve pursued that case at its own glacial pace, plaintiffs lawyers have had to contend not only with the Saudi government, but with the US government, which has thwarted their attempts to obtain files from the FBI’s investigations of the attacks. On Wednesday, 9/11 Justice, a grassroots group pursuing Saudi-9/11 transparency, expressed alarm over the plea arrangement. In a statement, the group’s president, Brett Eagleson, whose father was killed in the attacks, said:
“Our primary concern remains access to these individuals for information. These plea deals should not perpetuate a system of closed-door agreements, where crucial information is hidden without giving the families of the victims the chance to learn the full truth…We urge the administration to ensure that these deals do not close the door on obtaining critical information that can shed light on Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks.”
Meanwhile, jury selection in the military trial in Guantanamo isn’t expected to start until at least 2026 (!), with the trial then expected to span upwards of a year and a half.
As the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied…especially for 9/11 survivors and families.

Gang of Illegals Caught Breaking Into Michigan Home
Authorities busted a group of illegal aliens from South America during a home invasion in Michigan as foreign theft gangs continue to wreak havoc in upscale communities, according to reports.
The disturbing incident unfolded on Thursday in Troy, a city in Oakland County near Detroit.
A homeowner alerted police about masked thieves breaking into her residence, Fox 2 reports.
Officers arrived and arrested five suspects.
All five were determined to be citizens of Colombia who are illegally present in the U.S.
Investigators were reportedly surprised to learn the suspects were part of a much larger theft ring.
“Seems like it’s a sign of the times. Troy is a pretty affluent area,” a local resident told Fox 2. “Not shocked that they are here.”
“I don’t know what the solution to that is other than just beefing up neighborhood community, watching out for each other, police presence.”
Sophisticated foreign theft gangs, often comprised of South Americans who are either in the country illegally or temporarily, have been targeting homes and businesses in Oakland County, along with many other upper-class communities across the U.S.
“They’ve done pre-op surveillance. We’ve seen (them) – here and across the country – utilizing trail cameras, battery-operated cameras, trackers on cars, and even drone units,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard explained at a town hall organized to address the issue back in May.
InfoWars has been documenting the surge of crime fueled by the ongoing Biden border invasion.
