Debate prep: Trump vs. Kamala

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will face off tonight in their first [and likely only] presidential debate.

The logistics: Tonight’s debate is hosted by ABC News and broadcast live from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 9 PM ET.

• The moderators are David Muir and Linsey Davis.

• The event will last 90 minutes.

The rules: Despite desperate attempts by the Kamala campaign to change the rules at the last minute, this debate format will abide by the original agreement, which includes:

• Both candidates must stand.

• No pre-written notes allowed.

• Muting mics of candidates not speaking.

• No live audience.

Different debate prep styles: The NY Times reports that Kamala has been conducting “highly choreographed” debate prep on a mock debate stage with staffers dressed up as Donald Trump. Trump, on the other hand, is opting for more informal debate prep, with his staff peppering him with questions as he goes about his normal schedule.

• Notably, Tulsi Gabbard, who embarrassed Kamala on the debate stage in 2020, has been very involved in Trump's debate prep.

What Trump wants: Trump wants to focus on Kamala’s “dangerously liberal” record [eliminating private health insurance, decriminalizing illegal immigration, ending fracking] and tie her to the failures of the Biden regime [open borders, inflation, woke policies in schools].

What Kamala wants: Expect two areas of focus for Kamala. She’ll likely try to distance herself from many of Biden’s failed policies. And she’ll attempt to coerce Trump into becoming combative so that the focus is on his temperament rather than policy.

What can we expect from ABC News? Bias. An analysis from the Media Research Center looked at all ABC News coverage since Kamala replaced Biden on July 21 and found its reporting on her was 100% positive verus just 7% positive reporting on Trump.

Big picture: Americans know who Trump is. He engages with the media on both sides of the political aisle. Kamala, on the other hand, has only sat down for one interview since replacing Joe Biden. And a recent poll found that 28% of voters say they need to know more about her, compared to just 9% for Trump. So, the primary goal of tonight’s debate for both candidates is to define what Kamala Harris represents.

Border crisis arrives in small town Ohio

The border crisis has come to a small town in Ohio, as locals express concern over the influx of Haitian illegal aliens that have brought crime, a drain on resources, and even reports of pets and other animals being killed and eaten.

The details: Springfield, Ohio, a city of 58,000 people, has seen the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitians—an influx of roughly one-third of the entire population.

• The illegals have arrived through Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ legally questionable asylum programs.

• Making matters worse, Biden and Harris granted temporary legal status to 300,000 Haitians through 2026.

What the locals are saying: Resident Anthony Harris called out the city's inaction, stating, “These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, flipping cars in the street. How are y’all comfortable with this?”

• Lisa Hayes recounted being bullied by illegals at a supermarket, blocking her car and refusing to let her exit.

• A resident only identified as ‘Noel’ expressed fear over illegals camping outside her home: “They're screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard… I want out of this town. Please give me a reason to stay."

Drain on services: The influx has cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for services like translators, and the residents are seeing increased wait times at hospitals, schools are over capacity, and illegals being given tax dollar assistance for rent are pricing out legal residents.

Boy killed: Last year, an illegal alien in Springfield drove into oncoming traffic, crashing into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old boy and injuring 20 more children.

Killing pets and local animals? Rumors spread online that the Haitian migrants have been seen killing and eating ducks and geese. And some reports claim they have also stolen pet cats and eaten them.

• One resident speaking at the city council meeting cited earlier said the illegals are “stealing animals from farmers and leaving their severed heads at the site of an old school where children play. Relieving themselves in public. Making some barbaric stew out of the birds that live in our park. This is insanity. And it has to stop.”
