Harris Campaign Website Adds "Policy" Platform Page

The page lists the presidential hopeful’s policy positions on key issues, such as gun violence and illegal border crossings, ahead of the Sept. 10 debate.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has introduced a new webpage detailing her policy positions on key issues, such as gun violence and illegal border crossings, ahead of the Sept. 10 debate in which Harris and former President Donald Trump will face off for the first time.

The page, titled “A New Way Forward,” details the plan of Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to build what she called “an opportunity economy” focused on cutting taxes for working and middle-class families, reducing health care costs, and investing in child care. Harris also pledged to “restore and protect reproductive freedoms” if she wins the election.
Harris proposed building 3 million additional affordable rental units and homes to end the housing supply crisis in her first term, according to the page. She also promised to “outlaw new forms of price fixing by corporate landlords.”

The Democratic Party’s nominee also pledged to ban so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, mandate universal background checks, and support red flag laws to seize guns from people deemed to be dangerous.

On the border crossing issue, Harris planned to address what the campaign refers to as the country’s “broken immigration system” by reviving a bipartisan border security bill that failed to pass in the Senate earlier this year. Senate Republicans blocked the bill, saying it didn’t go far enough to secure the border.

The page affirms Harris’s commitment to ensure that Israel has the ability to defend itself while also working toward a cease-fire deal to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of hostages kidnapped by Hamas.

It also features information on what the Harris campaign calls “Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda,” in which it warns voters about dangers if the Republican nominee is reelected.

Trump distanced himself from The Heritage Foundation think tank’s Project 2025 in July.
In a Truth Social post, the former president said: “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.”
He noted that he believes that “some of the things they’re saying” are unreasonable.

“Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them,” Trump said.

In a statement posted to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in July, Project 2025 wrote that it is not connected to the Trump reelection campaign.

“As we’ve been saying for more than two years now, Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign,” the statement reads, noting that it represents more than 110 conservative groups. “But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement.”

The Harris campaign’s “A New Way Forward” page was created a week after Harris’s Aug. 29 interview with CNN, her first as the Democratic presidential nominee. Harris told the interviewer that her values have not changed despite shifts in her stances on some issues.
Record numbers of illegal immigrants have been apprehended during the current administration. In the interview, CNN’s Dana Bash asked why it took the president and vice president 3 1/2 years to take action to stem the flow.

Harris, whom Biden appointed to address the root causes of migration, said her work helped reduce the number of crossings. She repeated her support for the bipartisan border bill, which failed to pass the Senate, while blaming Trump for its demise.

How I see the team going into week 2

what do we know so far?

Offense

> Card appears to be more smooth against air. We need to see him be accurate past 30.
> Purdue appears to have reloaded at receiver. I doubt we look as good against air last year
> Klare appears to have all of the tools at TE. Is he great? Remains to be seen. But he’s proven to have ability and I see no area where he’s lacking. If Klare was hobbled, I think there’s a big step down unless burhenn gets healthy
> I liked what I saw from the OL to be missing a player like Stewart. I’m still not convinced Moussa will have the strength, but not unconvinced yet either. Remains to be seen

Defense

> defensive line

DT - Lewis showed some pop and appeared to be more explosive than anything I saw from Langham, Nichols or Anderson last year. Lots of proving to do but I liked what I saw

NT - Brevard still with a bad tackling grade. He has the size and talent to be a kawann short type player. That would cause a lot of good things to happen for this defense. He needs to take that step

Omonode is outstanding as a backup and I liked seeing him next to Brevard at DT as well. You cannot play him over center for long long stretches against premier OLs. But as a change of pace he’s outstanding.

DE - Mba looked like he was much better against air than the previous season, but there were still times where he’d get penetration, but fail to finish the play. He can play to his talent but needs to get there.

Backups - here are the grades and snaps for the players seeing their first action (to my memory) for Purdue up front

Players grade snaps
Irving 69.9 4
Kennedy 66.0 10
Harkless 51.1 13
Dinkins 46.2 11

I think Kennedy is the player who can emerge here early. Any one of these guys becoming a legit force would be huge

I see a lot of depth here in the front 6. To beat Notre dame and teams like that you need legit starters and a couple dangerous depth players. I don’t see that yet. By Penn state? Maybe

Linebackers

> Edge

Heldt - the closest I see to having talent and putting it together on the field. I don’t think anyone is there yet.

Everyone graded well on the edge except sillah (42.0). But only heldt jumped off the page.

> MLB

Jenkins - as the QB of the defense I think he has a good ways to go. But it was one game. Chance he takes a big leap In game 2. If he doesn’t take that leap from the opening snap I don’t know how you’re supposed to keep it close with a ND.

> secondary - I think this group is already ready to win. Much improved over last year

Purdue recruiting Big recruiting weekend ahead for both Purdue basketball programs

Matt Painter and Katie Gearlds have big recruiting weekends on tap for both #Purdue basketball programs.

That includes a pair of official visitors on the men’s side, as well as four top 2026 targets visiting for the women.

Paying “their fair share”

If so many people are “for” paying their fair share, why are so many people leaving blue states? (And blue states with higher state and local taxes for states with lower taxes)?🤔

Blood in the water. Can we go in for the kill?

ND's team has some glaring weaknesses and their playoff hopes are on the line. They'd have to run table and get some help if they want to get in. Do we go in with "No Mercy" like Walters said, or do we let the domers come in here and have "get right game".

Either Walters' defense holds ND down while Harrell scores enough points to win, or Walters' system is exposed and we get handled at home.

I'm going Spoilermakers 24-17.

What is happening to this country?

Elton John says he loves DJT, that they are friends, and that Trump has been to many of his concerts, and he loves it that Trump calls the North Korean leader Rocket Man.

Then Bernie Sanders says that Kammi is simply changing her tune as a moderate to win more votes in the election, but she'll return to her leftist agenda if she wins. Bernie might be a bit crazy, but I do believe he's a pretty honest guy.

Why Americans will vote for Trump

REAL WAGES ARE DOWN since Biden took over due to his inflation. SEE 4th Graph.

The article summary…

Nevertheless, in each of the three macroeconomic metrics we’re using to evaluate purchasing power, Scott is correct that the typical American’s income and wages have failed to keep pace with inflation since Biden entered the presidency.

Joe “climate change” Biden’s home state has least clean energy

Rules for thee but not for for Joes home state….🤡

Delaware had the dirtiest grid of all 50 states, mostly utilizing dirty energy for statewide power. The state only used 1.3% clean energy in 2022.
