Sen. J.D. Vance made his appeal to 'booing' firefighters at a conference in Boston on Thursday. The Republican vice presidential nominee took in stride the commanding boos that came over a chorus of cheers at the International Association of Firefighters conference as he urged them to give him a chance to deliver his 'pitch' to earn their vote. 'Sounds like we've got some fans and some haters – that's OK,' Vance said. But he urged the crowd to 'listen to what i have to say here and I'll make my pitch.'

I think we are witnessing the emergence of a political superstar. J.D. Vance is smart, capable, and terrific in interviews and public appearances.

I think so, too, #1. Apparently, I’m not supposed to like him according to the Lincoln Project crowd, the hardline, no-one-is-trustworthy-enough crowd, and of course the left. But, I do.

I've been around firefighters all my life a d other than the union bosses I would guess they are about 80% conservatives. If there was booing good chance they were paid agitator even in Boston.

Why would firemen “boo” Vance who has outlined common sense policies that Trump and he would fight for after they are elected? Sounds like just like a pure partisan political move?

Vice President Kamala Harris’ much-anticipated CNN interview on Thursday did not go as she would have hoped, at least according to presidential election oddsmakers. Newsweek reported, “The vice president went from being the favorite to win with odds of 10/11 (52.4 percent) on Thursday to tied with Donald Trump on 19/20 (51.3 percent) each on Friday morning, according to the Star Sports betting company.” “Over the same period, Trump’s odds of victory in November improved from 21/20 (48.8 percent) before the interview to 20/21 (51.2 percent), according to U.K. based bookmaker Betfair,” the outlet noted.

Democrat vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz argued for using algae to power the United States Navy as part of his efforts to fight climate change, claiming that sustainable energy solutions are crucial for military resilience. During a debate with his then-opponent, Republican Jim Hagedorn, in Winona, Minnesota, in 2016, Walz spoke of the growing recognition that climate change is a pressing concern that cannot be ignored.While noting that the nation’s armed forces can adopt new eco-friendly resources, Walz insisted that “the Pentagon is not a bunch of green tree-huggers.”

Prior to CNN’s Thursday interview with the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, we suggested 30 questions that Dana Bash might ask the duo in their much-hyped first interview. But when it came time to sit down to talk in Savannah, Bash only asked five of them. Bash did manage to ask Harris about her fracking flip-flop, “Do you still want to ban fracking?... In 2019, I believe in a town hall, you said -- you were asked, would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office? And you said: There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. So, yes.

A breath-taking city in western Maryland is offering $20,000 to 10 homeowners who agree to relocate there, with the only catch being that they're willing to invest in their property and become a part of the community. Cumberland, once known as the state's 'Queen City,' features brick-paved streets, and its horizon bristles with church steeples. Nestled along the north branch of the Potomac River, the Appalachian wonderland was at one time a hub of industry and boasted a population of 40,000 residents in 1940.

Social media, books, movies, news—my universe of media options has decreased dramatically and I’m pretty hacked off about it. Once, on a transcontinental flight, I sat next to a Brit who I asked, upon noticing his accent, “Are you from England?” He answered in the affirmative, and added, much to my delight, “And how are you enjoying your independence?” It’s a uniquely American sport to tease our English brothers and sisters as being hopelessly unfamiliar with liberty, but now it’s not so funny, is it?

Republicans believe former President Donald Trump made the right choice in picking Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance to be his running mate as the campaign enters the fourth quarter of the election season. Through the final weeks of August, Vance has spent his time on the campaign trail, sparring with hostile media and drawing contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris as she dodges the media. Prior though, Vance was fighting a barrage of Democratic attacks that branded him as “weird” for past statements. Republicans and campaign officials expressed satisfaction with Vance’s performance in conversations with the Daily Caller.

Experts are warning against Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposed tax strategy, which they say would threaten the future of the United States economically. Recently, Harris’ campaign confirmed that the Democratic presidential nominee supports a $5 trillion tax increase, among a long list of other tax hikes, to the unrealized gains of wealthy Americans. Economic advisors caution that such a move would be a financial calamity, resulting in the most significant tax increase the U.S. has seen in over 40 years. Harris’s 28 percent federal corporate tax rate and 44.6 percent top capital gains and dividend tax rate would give the United States

As Matt and Sarah covered, the interview was a train wreck, though it went as expected. In a statement, the Trump-Vance campaign identified what the vice president didn’t discuss with CNN, including the nation’s crime crisis, her support for ending cash bail, defunding the police, Medicare-for-All, closing immigration detention centers, reparations, her vote for the American Rescue Plan, which fueled inflation, among other issues. “Kamala said her values ‘have not changed’ three separate times,” the statement noted. “She’s still

Now we see why the Dems didn't want Kamala Harris as their nominee.

Did you catch Kamala Harris's first "interview" as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you'd expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses. CNN anchor Dana Bash actually asked some decent questions, but what really struck me about the interview was that Kamala Harris, more often than not, avoided answering most of the questions, and Bash didn't seem to be concerned with getting an actual answer. You knew things were going to be bad when Harris really struggled to give a coherent answer to the cliché question about what she would do on "on day one."

"We are going to be, under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump said before adding, "We're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay."

Tim Walz, will sit down Thursday for their first major television interview of their presidential campaign as the duo travels in southeast Georgia on a bus tour. The interview with CNN’s Dana Bash will give Harris a chance to quell criticism that she has eschewed uncontrolled environments, while also giving her a fresh platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of an upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump set for Sept. 10. But it also carries risk as her team tries to build on momentum from the ticket shakeup following Joe Biden’s exit
