What Time Does The 2017 Solar Eclipse Start And Peak Today? (8/21/2017)

Sen. Ted Cruz reacted to a question about abortion the same way he reacted to a Texas storm that left millions freezing in the dark and more than a hundred literally freezing to death: by running away. Instead of jetting off to Cancun when he didn't want to do his job, Cruz dodged questions from CNN’s Ed Lavendera with BS. Asked why there was no mention of abortion in his speech, Cruz sneered, “I understand that's what Democrats want to talk all day long about.” Sadly, it’s no surprise Cruz doesn’t care about what concerns his Democratic constituents.

During a press event in Madison Wisconsin, Kamala Harris responded to Speaker Johnson announcing they would dismantle Obamacare if put in charge after Nov 5th, and also condemned Trump's horrific (yet utterly typical) words about women. HARRIS: The former President Donald Trump's remark about women and 'whether they like it or not.' And listen, it's just—it actually is, I think, very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority, their right and their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies. And this is just the latest on a series of reveals by the former president of how he thinks about women and their agency, Whether he has said, as he has, that women should be punished for their choices. Whether he has talked about his pride in taking away a fundamental right from women.

Matt's Schlapp, the disgraced CPAC leader who paid out with an insurance policy almost a half a million dollars to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit to a male staffer from the Herschel Walker campaign tells Newsmax he's worried that Kamala Harris will do what Mike Pence refused to do in the upcoming election next week. Never forget that Schlapp, who aided Rudy Giuliani and Trump trying to overthrow the 2020 election when he claimed they had irrefutable evidence of election fraud and wanted Mike Pence to refuse to certify the 2020 election. Schlapp has been relegated to Newsmax and other low rated conservative programming so it was nice seeing him cry about the rally size of the Harris Ellipse speech, claiming the 75, 000 people were all democratic operatives. The man who is a creep's creep then challenged VP Harris to not do what he wanted Pence to do. SCHLAPP: And let me tell you, she's the sitting vice president. And I'm Newsmax.

Kamala Harris has a 31 point lead over Donald Trump in the youth vote of ages 18 to 29, and that translates when we see a college Trump supporter complaining to RSBN that her fellow students are all for Kamala Harris and the Democratic party in Green Bay WI. RSBN: And, you know, young ladies like you, the lamestream media says they don't exist, there's no way that they can support President Trump.

The disgraced former President, with a lengthy history of misogyny, made remarks at his Green Bay, Wisconsin, rally, combining a 'sir story' with odd language. "I wanna protect the women of our country," he said before saying he shouldn't say that. But because "he's President," he did, and claimed, "They said, 'Sir, please don't say that.'" "Well, I'm going to do it whether the women like it or not," he added. Kamala Harris immediately weighed in, writing on Xitter, "Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body." "Whether you like it or not," she added. Others jumped in, too.
