This rule underscores courtesy and consideration for others. It demonstrates awareness and respect for shared resources and the contributions of others.

Letting the other party make the first offer can provide strategic advantages. It gives you insight into their expectations and can help you negotiate better terms.
6. Don’t take credit for work you didn’t do.

Kamala Harris is extremely liberal — and the numbers prove it
Vice President Kamala Harris served in the Senate between 2017 and 2021, providing a legislative record that allows her to be located along the left-right continuum that dominates legislative behavior in the Congress. Based on her roll call voting record, Harris is the second-most liberal Democratic senator to serve in the Senate in the 21st century.
How do we know? For more than 40 years, political scientists have used roll call votes cast by members of Congress, combined with advanced statistical methods, to reliably plot the location of members of the House and Senate on the Liberal-Conservative/Left-Right dimension along which most legislative politics take place. (In Texas, I have conducted similar analysis of the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate biennially since 2011.)
The Voteview project (now based at UCLA) has, since the 1980s, employed the roll-call votes cast in Congress to locate all senators and representatives on a liberal-conservative ideological map. These data and methods have been utilized by academics in thousands of peer-reviewed books, book chapters and journal articles. Although no method is perfect, there is a general consensus within the academic community that the NOMINATE methodology employed by the Voteview project and its close cousins represent the gold standard.
The Voteview data can be used to study the Senate in two principal ways. The first method analyzes each two-year congressional period separately and provides a unique ideological location for every senator for each biennium, allowing for the comparison of senators who served during that Congress, but not for the comparison of senators across Congresses. The second method analyzes the congressional periods together and provides a single ideological location for a senator based on the entirety of their voting record while in that office, thereby allowing for the comparison of senators across Congresses.
Harris served in the Senate representing California during two Congresses (the 115th and 116th) before resigning to assume office as vice president in 2021.
Kamala Harris wants the media to help her run out the clock
Vice President Kamala Harris wants to run out the clock on the presidential election with zero scrutiny, and she is relying on her liberal media allies to help her.
Harris has not taken questions from the media since becoming the de facto Democratic presidential nominee when President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race. Harris has only been in an unscripted scenario once since then when she rambled about “the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy.”
As Politico revealed, Harris hiding from the media is all part of the strategy. Harris’s team thinks speaking to national media publicly is a bad idea, but Harris has been speaking to her press pool on her plane “often” when off the record. Harris has no intention of taking public questions from anyone because, as someone close to her campaign told the outlet, “She’s getting out exactly the message she wants to get out.”
You can see that best with her decision to make Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) her running mate. Walz does not believe in freedom of speech and exaggerated his military service record to further his political career, including using it to justify his opposition to the Second Amendment. Similar to Harris, Walz is ignoring questions about his record.
Why Harris isn’t taking questions
There is a line in the movie “Bull Durham” where CRASH DAVIS, the sage journeyman catcher played by KEVIN COSTNER, tells “NUKE” LaLOOSH, the young fireballer portrayed by TIM ROBBINS, that you never, uh, mess with a winning streak.
The same holds true in politics.
Vice President KAMALA HARRIS has been on a remarkable heater ever since replacing President JOE BIDEN atop the Democratic ticket, raising ridiculous amounts of money, meeting massive, euphoric crowds wherever she’s gone and instantly rising in the polls.
It continued on Tuesday night when she took the stage for the first time alongside her newly chosen running mate, Minnesota Gov. TIM WALZ, as the revamped Democratic ticket offered themselves up as optimistic avatars of a new, inclusive American future.
The raucous crowd inside the arena in Philadelphia ate it up. And so did the cable networks, three of which carried the event live and uninterrupted for roughly 80 minutes, starting with another strong and closely watched speech from Pennsylvania Gov. JOSH SHAPIRO, the runner up for Harris’ vice president nod.
The free publicity — or “earned media,” as operatives call it — is worth millions, and it was reminiscent of the way cable networks carried countless hours of then-candidate DONALD TRUMP’s campaign rallies in 2016.
Eight years later, things have changed. Trump, now making his third run for the White House, is delivering his well-worn routine at rallies that only sporadically get live network coverage (the “Right Side Broadcasting” YouTube channel doesn’t count). Now, Harris is the new, exciting thing in the race, her rallies delivering left-leaning MSNBC some of its highest ratings in weeks. And preliminary numbers showed that Tuesday’s rally brought the network an audience that was more than double its four-week norm in the 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. hours.
The Harris camp is hoping to ride the wave as long as it can. So there is little worry about the candidate avoiding something else that has long been required of presidential nominees: taking questions from the press.
My son, 19, was killed in Iraq serving in the military unit Tim Walz ‘abandoned’: I’ll never trust Kamala Harris’ VP pick who took the ‘coward’s way out’
When soldier Kyle Miller was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on June 29, 2006, the man expected to lead them into combat was not there.
Tim Walz, who would go on to be Kamala Harris’ running mate, left his Minnesota National Guard unit two months before it deployed – and some will never trust him again.
That includes Miller’s mother who delivered a damning verdict on Walz’s character, accusing him of taking the ‘coward’s way out’ and ‘running away’ by opting to campaign for Congress instead of going to Iraq to face danger with her son.
In an emotional interview with DailyMail.com, nearly two decades after 19-year-old Kyle’s death, Kathy Miller said: ‘I don’t think it’s fair that (Walz) takes credit when he didn’t step up to the plate.
‘Walz claims a rank he never earned. When he was called to serve, and protect our country he didn’t.
‘To publicly present false prestige of his unearned rank an inaccurate representation, is a falsehood of who he truly is.
‘My son stepped up to the plate. All our sons stepped up.
‘My son wasn’t even 21 years old. He couldn’t even buy alcohol. Yet he took the step to serve our country while Walz found the best way to run away.’
‘It was the coward’s way out.’
Kamala Harris Is the Border Czar. She Failed at Her Job
I have been a Border Patrol agent since 1997, serving under Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden, and I served as president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) from 2013 to earlier this year. I have worked alongside U.S. presidents, members of Congress, and elected officials across the political spectrum to find ways to strengthen our border security and give our Border Patrol agents the resources they need to keep America safe.
Let me clear something up: Vice President Kamala Harris is the “Border Czar,” and while she is trying to deny that fact, pretend to care about border security, and distance herself from her failures now, her actions over the last four years have shown a complete disregard for the human suffering that occurs daily at our nation’s southern border.
My job as president of the NBPC was to represent the interests of my agents, both politically and officially. For many years, the National Border Patrol Council remained impartial in presidential politics – but due to President Obama’s second-term failures, in 2016 we felt the need to thoroughly evaluate our prospective elected officials’ plans to secure our border. We vetted all candidates, including Democrats.
Ultimately, we endorsed President Trump because we saw someone who would cut through Washington bureaucracy to implement tangible policies that combat illegal immigration. We were right. President Trump drove illegal border crossings to historic lows not just once, but twice. He began construction of a wall across 400 miles of the border, and illegal crossings plummeted by over 87% in areas where the wall was complete. He deployed nearly 5,000 troops to provide much-needed support to our Border Patrol agents, and Mexico deployed tens of thousands of their own soldiers and national guardsmen to prevent crossings on their side.
Kamala’s $90 million jackpot: ActBlue’s biggest day or biggest lie?
Apparently, we’re supposed to believe that the entire country became excited overnight for Kamala Harris’ presidential bid. Small donations reportedly skyrocketed. ActBlue, the left’s main small donor fundraiser platform, reported $27.5 million in donations within the first five hours of her announcing her campaign two weeks ago.
Just a few hours later, that number nearly doubled to $46.7 million. ActBlue said the haul was its biggest fundraising day of the entire 2024 election cycle. After 24 hours, ActBlue was reporting over $90 million for Mrs. Yellow School Bus.
Executives From a Major Voting Machine Company Have Been Indicted
The Department of Justice indicted a number of executives from the voting machine company Smartmatic Thursday, including founder and President Roger Pinate, on a series of federal money laundering and bribery charges.
“A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned an indictment today charging three executives of an election voting machine and service provider company and a former Chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Republic of the Philippines for their roles in an alleged bribery and money laundering scheme to retain and obtain business related to the 2016 Philippine elections,” DOJ released Thursday.
A federal Grand Jury found the men paid bribes in order to land contracts for Smartmatic during elections in the Philippines nearly a decade ago.
“According to the indictment, between 2015 and 2018, Roger Alejandro Pinate Martinez, 49, a Venezuelan citizen and resident of Boca Raton, Florida, and Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, a U.S. citizen and resident of Davie, Florida, together with others, allegedly caused at least $1 million in bribes to be paid to Juan Andres Donato Bautista, 60, the former Chairman of COMELEC. These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections and to secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value added tax payments,” DOJ states.
Wearing Masks Illegal in New York’s Nassau County
Lawmakers in New York’s Nassau County approved a bill banning masks in public spaces, saying the move will help fight crime during protests.
The measure, which passed earlier this week and was headed to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s desk to sign, makes wearing a mask and concealing identity a misdemeanor that is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, ABC News reported.
Proponents for the bill in the suburban Long Island county say the measure was necessary after the protests in connection with the Israel-Hamas war.
Legislator Howard Kopel said during a public meeting about the mandate this week that the bill was brought about to respond to the “antisemitic incidents, often perpetrated by those in masks” during the protests.
The ruling has exceptions that exempt people who are wearing face coverings for religious or health reasons, but says that masks that are worn otherwise are “often used as a predicate to harassing, menacing or criminal behavior.”
Under the legislation, local law enforcement will have the right to demand that people remove their masks when there is a “reasonable suspicion of criminal activity or intention to partake in criminal activity,” and during traffic stops.
Iran accelerating cyber activity that appears meant to influence US election, Microsoft says
Iran is ramping up online activity that appears intended to influence the upcoming US election, in one case targeting a presidential campaign with an email phishing attack, Microsoft said Friday.
Iranian actors also have spent recent months creating fake news sites and impersonating activists, laying the groundwork to stoke division and potentially sway American voters this fall, especially in swing states, the technology giant found.
The findings in Microsoft’s newest threat intelligence report show how Iran, which has been active in recent US campaign cycles, is evolving its tactics for another election that’s likely to have global implications.
The report goes a step beyond anything US intelligence officials have disclosed, giving specific examples of Iranian groups and the actions they have taken so far.
Iran’s United Nations mission denied it had plans to interfere or launch cyberattacks in the US presidential election.
The report doesn’t specify Iran’s intentions besides sowing chaos in the United States, though US officials have previously hinted that Iran particularly opposes former President Donald Trump.
Justice Department ordered to answer for Jan. 6 killing of Ashli Babbitt
A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to “answer” charges in a $30 million wrongful death suit on behalf of Ashli Babbitt, the 35-year-old Trump supporter shot dead as she entered a lobby just off the House floor during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
In a sign that the case filed by Babbitt’s estate and Washington-based Judicial Watch has been greenlighted, U.S. District Court Judge Ana C. Reyes gave the government a month to address four of the seven counts in the lawsuit.
Those four include the “wrongful” death count as well as negligence and assault and battery claims against then-U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd.
The judge also said she would listen to further pleas from Judicial Watch to have the trial heard in San Diego, home to Babbitt’s husband. A court there sent the case to Washington, where most of the Jan. 6 cases have been heard.
“Ashli Babbitt’s family is thrilled the $30 million wrongful death lawsuit for her outrageous killing is moving full speed ahead,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.
Advertising Coalition Accused Of Censoring Conservatives Disbands Amid Lawsuits
The influential advertising coalition known as the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) announced their dissolution on Thursday after facing multiple lawsuits from social media companies accusing the group of censoring conservatives, Business Insider reported.
The World Federation of Advertisers, who established GARM, told its employees that they would be “discontinuing” the advertising group, saying the decision was “not made lightly,” according to Business Insider. The decision came after tech platforms X and Rumble both filed separate lawsuits against GARM for allegedly colluding with advertising agencies to withhold monetization from conservative outlets and other “disfavored platforms” on Tuesday.
The House Judiciary Committee released a report in July regarding GARM’s “collusion” against online speech they deemed “not appropriate” for advertisers. The Committee alleged that GARM and its members “directly organized boycotts and used other indirect tactics to target disfavored platforms, content creators, and news organizations in an effort to demonetize and, in effect, limit certain choices for consumers.”
The GARM safety guidelines label “debated sensitive social” issues and “hate speech” as categories of content that are “not appropriate for any advertising support.” GARM has blacklisted companies like The Daily Wire, which a “brand safety” executive from the coalition said was on their “global high risk exclusion list” and categorized the platform under “conspiracy theories.”
