Kamala Agrees to Single Debate
Vice President Kamala Harris has finally agreed to a debate with Donald Trump.
On Thursday, Harris had her first real meeting with reporters since being picked as the Democrat presidential nominee three weeks ago.
A local reporter from Wayne, Minnesota reminded Harris that Trump has agreed to three debates. Would she be participating in all three?
“I’ve always been on record,” she replied.
“I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump and we have a date of September 10, I hear he has finally committed to it and I am looking forward to it.”
Harris did not provide any further response.
Kamala says she is “looking forward to debating Donald Trump” on September 10, but doesn’t respond when asked about the other two debates.

She walked away before the reporter could get an answer to his follow-up question about the other two dates.
Later that day, she spoke to another group of reporters at Detroit airport and said she was “happy to have that conversation” about additional debates, adding that they would be scheduled for “after 10 September.”
She also said that she was “talking to my team” about giving her first sit-down interview.
“I want us to get an interview settled before the end of the month.”
The Vice President’s unwillingness to speak publicly in any form at any length has been a target for persistent attacks by the Trump campaign. Harris has been widely criticized for her outright refusal to give interviews or hold press conferences since she became the Democrat presidential candidate. The last time she held a press conference was in December of 2023, and her last interview was the notorious “Momala” interview with Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore.
At a rally in Bozeman, Montana yesterday, Trump said, “If you can’t do a press conference, you can’t be president.”
Trump also took aim at Harris and Walz for their records in office and, in Walz’s case, in the military.
“You know, they run and they want to go on a record that’s a fake record. They have a fake record, both of them.”
Walz has been criticized for claiming to have carried weapons for the US “in war,” despite never being deployed to a battlefield in his 24 years in the National Guard, and for retiring to avoid going to Iraq with his battalion.
When Trump mentioned Walz directly by name, the crowd booed. “If comrade Walz and comrade Harris win this November, the people cheering will be the pink-haired Marxist, the looters, the perverts, the flag burners, Hamas supporters, drug dealers, gun grabbers, and human traffickers.”
“They Have a Fake Record, Both of Them:” Trump Blasts Kamala and Walz in Bozeman
Former President Donald Trump blasted Vice President Kamala Harris and her running-mate Tim Walz as phoneys, at his latest rally in Bozeman, Montana.
In front of a packed stadium, Trump said that Harris was dodging media appearances.
“When you’re the commander in chief, you don’t go to the run and hide away from the press,” Trump said.

Trump was in Montana to support Republican Senate candidate and former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy.
Polls suggest Sheehy currently has the edge over incumbent Sen. Jon Tester. Trump called Tester a “radical,” and said that he has “the biggest stomach I’ve ever seen.”
Sheehy joined Trump on stage and described how he was inspired to run for office by Biden’s chaotic withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan.
“I was on my phone trying to get American citizens, allies, interpreters, people that fought alongside us to fight the terrorists [out of the country],” Sheehy said.
“Joe Biden abandoned them in Afghanistan. He left them behind and he left billions of dollars of equipment.”
The run-up to the rally, which some are estimating was attended by tens of thousands of people, was not without incident. The former president experienced a scare when his plane had to be diverted to Billings due to mechanical problems.

Controversial Boxer Wins Olympic Gold
Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer whose gender has been a source of huge controversy, won gold at the Paris Olympics on Friday. Khelif previously failed a gender test, which revealed him to be a man genetically and not a woman.
Khelif defeated China’s Yang Liu on Friday in a 5-0 points decision.
The renewed controversy over Khelif’s gender began with his opening bout, when he mauled Italy’s Angela Carini in a mere 46 seconds. Carini was forced to withdraw and declared the bout “unjust.”
Italy’s Prime Minister Georgia Meloni weighed in, saying that “athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women’s competitions.”
Melonia added that this is necessary “to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms.”

Let me repeat that: a MALE has taken a WOMAN’S Olympic gold.
This is what they call this “progress.” It’s the ultimate betrayal of fairness, safety, and women by @iocmedia. pic.twitter.com/pHw1Ve4uTF
Khelif was disqualified from last year’s IBA World Boxing Championships for failing a gender eligibility test, after it revealed he possessed male X-Y chromosomes. Khelif has always competed in the female category.
Khelif appealed his disqualification, calling it a “big conspiracy,” but the IBA said the decision was “extremely important and necessary to uphold the level of fairness and utmost integrity of the competition.”
Comment on the victory was brutal.
“Imane Khelif wins first-ever gold medal in freestyle domestic violence,” wrote the Babylon Bee.
On Twitter, swimmer Riley Gaines slammed the International Olympic Committee for allowed Khelif to compete as a woman.
“Imane Khelif (XY) dominated World Champion Lang Liu (XX) to win an Olympic gold medal. Let me repeat that: a MALE has taken a WOMAN’S Olympic gold. This is what they call this ‘progress.’ It’s the ultimate betrayal of fairness, safety, and women by @iocmedia.”
Khelif is not the only boxer competing in the female category at the Olympics whose gender has been disputed. Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting was also disqualified from last year’s World Championships for the same reason. Yu-Ting has already secured a bronze medal and will fight in the semi-finals this coming week.
