Axios Mocked For Defending Kamala Harris’ Communist-Style Price Control Scheme
Left-leaning outlet Axios carried water for Kamala Harris’s communist price controls proposal, urging voters not to call her scheme “price controls.”
“Don’t call it price controls: How price gouging bans really work,” the outlet wrote on X with the article justifying price controls.

— Axios (@axios) August 20, 2024
The outlet conflated price-gouging laws — already in place in some states in the event of an emergency triggered by a natural disaster or pandemic –with Harris’s price control scheme.
One of Kamala Harris’ most controversial policy proposals is a ban on grocery price gouging — critics are conflating the idea with Soviet-style price controls, and calling the plan “Kamunism.”
If banning price gouging is communist, then the U.S. went Marxist long ago. Most of us live in states that already have bans in place.
Harris hasn’t provided much detail. That’s led to wild speculation about what the plan could mean, including opinion pieces expressing fears that retailers won’t be able to, say, set the price of a gallon of milk, and that it would lead to widespread shortages, black markets and hoarding.
What Axios failed to mention is that America is currently not under a formal national emergency declaration, so a ban on price-gouging isn’t even relevant.
In its attempt to defend Harris’s policy, Axios inadvertently acknowledged her plan wouldn’t “make much of dent” in improving the lives of voters if her actual goal is preventing price gouging given most states already have similar laws in place.
“If a national price gouging ban is structured like these local bans, only triggered by emergencies and targeted to specific firms, it’s not clear it would make much of a dent,” the outlet reported.
The grocery industry lashed out at Harris’ plan, noting the skyrocketing prices of food and goods is due to rising inflation, not price gouging, which means Kamala’s plan is effectively aimed at controlling prices.
“We understand why there is this sticker shock and why it’s upsetting,” said Andy Harig, a vice president at FMI, a trade group representing food retailers and suppliers. “But to automatically just say there’s got to be something nefarious, I think to us that is oversimplified.”
The National Grocers Association likewise said its members are hurting from the same inflation pain points as customers.
“The proposal calling for a ban on grocery price gouging is a solution in search of a problem,” the group said.
Recall that former Republican President Richard Nixon tried to implement price controls in 1971 to combat inflation, which inevitably led to shortages, misallocations of resources, and black markets.
His price controls were phased out several years later, but inflation was still a persistent problem.
When elected in 1980, Ronald Reagan worked with the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to combat inflation, which led to the economic boom of the 1980s.
Axios was promptly ratioed on X for essentially giving Harris an in-kind campaign contribution:

Unlike Axios, CNN and the Washington Post — both outlets friendly to Harris — couldn’t help but admit her “price-gouging ban” proposal amounted to communist-style price controls, which have never been successful.

CNN’s Van Jones Panics: ‘Scary’ Kamala Still ‘Tied’ with Trump Despite ‘Positive Press’
Leftist CNN correspondent Van Jones voiced concerns that Kamala Harris has not managed to pull ahead of Donald Trump in polls, despite a friendly press pushing positive propaganda for her non-stop over the past two weeks.
Providing a glimpse into Democrat anxiety over the tight race, Jones, who previously served as an advisor to Barack Obama, said he was hopeful this week’s Democratic National Convention would give Harris a bump in polls, as she’s currently neck-and-neck with Trump.
“This is the big opportunity to go from a tied race to push our numbers up 1 point, 2 points, maybe 3 points,” Jones said following Day 1 of the DNC.
“We come out of this convention with a major bounce, that puts us in the best possible position after Labor Day. We don’t want to be tied,” Jones said, adding Harris should be further ahead due to positive coverage.
“I don’t like being tied with Donald Trump, because we’ve had now 20-plus days of positive press,” he said.
“He’s been falling down the stairs, slipping on banana peels and poking himself in the eyeballs,” Jones claimed. “We should not be tied. We want to pull ahead.”
Jones went on to agree with CNN political commentator and former Trump campaign adviser David Urban, who remarked it’s surprising Kamala’s tied with Trump, considering she’s been running a “flawless” campaign.
“They’re doing the best they can, and it’s tied, that’s really important,” Urban said, prompting Jones to add, “That’s scary.”
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod expressed similar concerns during a panel discussion Monday night, telling a CNN panel, “If the election were today, I’m not sure who would win, and I think it may well be President Trump…”
?PANIC: @davidaxelrod admits on @CNN that if the election were held today Trump would likely win.

Reminder: Axelrod has seen the internal polls the public hasn’t seen.

Indeed, a bump in polls would help keep up Harris’ momentum, and the fact that it has not yet manifested should be a worrying sign for Dems.
Add to that the fact that RFK Jr’s running mate Nicole Shanahan on Tuesday suggested their campaign might consider backing Trump to prevent a Kamala presidency, and Democrats should be in total panic of another stinging defeat.
Major Escalation! Russia Summons US Ambassador Over American Mercenaries Fighting With Ukraine
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that it called for a meeting with Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy, Stephanie Holmes, after an American private military company allegedly took part in the recent Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region.
⚡️ On August 20, US Charge d’Affaires Stephanie Holmes was summoned to the @mfa_russia.
❗️А strong protest was lodged in response to the provocative actions of American journalists who illegally entered the Kursk Region

According to Russia Today, “The diplomat was issued a demarche over the involvement of an American private military company (PMC) in Kiev’s incursion into Kursk Region and the ‘provocative actions’ of American journalists who illegally entered Russian territory to cover the cross-border attack.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday suggested American soldiers participating in the incursion “contradicts” Biden administration claims that the U.S. has not been involved in “attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis on Russia.”
The American private military company (PMC), or the Forward Observation Group, posted images of their fighters in Kursk wearing blue armbands worn by Ukrainian troops fighting against Russia.
Additionally, the Kremlin voiced concerns about American journalists entering Russian soil during Kiev’s Kursk operation, claiming they “illegally entered into Kursk Region to provide propaganda coverage of the crimes committed by the Kiev regime.”
Moscow said, “US citizens involved in these crimes will face necessary investigative actions by the competent agencies in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to ensure they are held accountable.”
Any Americans fighting alongside Ukrainian troops inside Russia will be treated as if they’re enemy combatants, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
This is the biggest escalation yet. https://t.co/9VGaCaNhSj

Vladimir Putin’s government accusing America of knowingly participating in the boldest incursion into Russia yet is a huge escalation that risks dragging the U.S. into a global war.
Watch: Joe Biden Repeats Debunked Lies & Hoaxes About Trump in DNC Closing Speech
Joe Biden delivered farewell remarks at the DNC on Monday, where he perpetuated at least 6 well-known Democrat hoax talking points about former President Donald Trump.
Biden’s ill-tempered speech delivered late into the night was laden with vitriol and the most common Democrat-manufactured lies about Trump.
Lies from Demented Joe:
— Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) August 20, 2024
1) Fine People lie
2) Suckers and losers lie
3) Nationwide abortion ban lie
4) Bloodbath lie
5) Dictator on Day 1 lie
Goddamn liars is what they are.
(Added 5)
“Very Fine People” Lie
Biden repeated the lie that Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people”, a talking point thoroughly debunked even by leftist outlet Snopes.

“Suckers and Losers” Lie
Biden pushed the fake news that Trump called U.S. servicemen who had fallen in France during WWII “suckers and losers,” a claim pushed by Trump’s disgruntled former Chief of Staff John Kelly in The Atlantic.

Joe’s speech, and the convention as a whole, was nothing but shameless lie after shameless lie.

“Bloodbath” Lie
Biden also pushed the false claim that Trump once called for a violent “bloodbath” in America, when in fact Trump was speaking about the dying auto industry.
“He’s promising a bloodbath! If he loses, in his words,” Biden yelled.

“Fewer Border Crossings Than Trump” Lie
Biden also falsely claimed that illegal border crossings under his watch were lower than when Trump was in office.
“Then I had to take executive action. The result of the executive action I took, border encounters have dropped over 50%. In fact, there are fewer border crossings today than when Donald Trump left office,” Biden falsely claimed.

“Nationwide Abortion Ban” Lie
Biden, struggling to read the teleprompter, also falsely suggested Trump banned abortion nationwide, when in fact the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, which kicked abortion laws back to the states.

“Dictator Day 1” Lie
Invoking Jan. 6, Biden also falsely claimed Trump proclaimed he wants to be a dictator.

In reality, Trump joked he would only act as a dictator on the first day of his presidency to secure the border and resume oil drilling.
All Biden can do is lie, because he has no real accomplishments to tout given the rampant inflation, collapsed border, and geopolitical turmoil that occurred under his watch.
Watch Biden’s full remarks:
Democrat Governor Calls for Rape & Impregnation of JD Vance — Video
In line with the bizarre theme of the 2024 Democrat National Convention, Democrat Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, appeared to have called for JD Vance to be raped and forced to become pregnant while on MSNBC’s The Morning Joe Tuesday morning.
“Make him go through this,” Beshear said on The Morning Joe Tuesday, referencing women who have gone through rape and impregnation, women Beshear is defending abortions of.

— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 20, 2024
“Make him go through this.” pic.twitter.com/y9e82YEfHe
The upset politician was referencing Vance’s opposition to abortion, chiefly, that the child born from rape is not guilty of the rape, and therefore should not lose their life as a result.
Beshear made no mention of arming women with guns to defend themselves against rape.
This fascination with death may be explained by the fact that schools have taught children how to kill themselves as well as to murder others.
Some Democrats have voiced support for abortion up to 3-years-old. Abortion is a topic Democrats are very serious about.
The irony is that although it may seem preposterous that JD Vance, a man, could get pregnant, raped or not, Democrats really do believe that men can get pregnant, making Beshear’s statements all the more serious.
Beshear’s statements show that ‘sex and violence’ isn’t just the lyrics of a song from punk band The Exploited.
