Vance checks out his future VP plane at Wisconsin airport...Kamala Hasn't answered a Single Question from the Press!
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance said he had a “bit of fun” Wednesday trying to catch up with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on an airport tarmac the two shared as part of dueling campaign travels.
“I just wanted to check out my future plane,” he joked with reporters after walking off former President Donald Trump’s campaign plane and walking straight over to Air Force Two, which had landed with the vice president and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
“I also wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why she refuse to answer questions from the media,” Vance said, jabbing at Harris for not having conducted an extended interview or full press conference since she began her campaign July 21 after President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid. “I at least have enough respect for you all and for the American people to come and talk to you and answer questions.”
Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, said he was not able to speak to Harris.
It’s not unheard of during a general election campaign for opposing candidates to cross paths as they travel, especially given the compressed map that limits much of the campaign activity to a relative few states that will determine the Electoral College winner.
“I had a little bit of fun,” Vance said. “I don’t think the vice president waved at me as she drove away.”
The senator campaigned in Wisconsin on Wednesday as a counter to Harris and Walz, who are continuing a multiday tour of battleground states that began Tuesday in Philadelphia with the first joint rally after the vice president announced Walz as her running mate.
Vance, continuing his jocular jabbing, said he’d be more than willing to debate Harris on Aug. 13 “if she’d like to do a debate with me.” That was a matchup scheduled before Biden stepped down, meaning it would have put Vance and Harris on the same stage as vice presidential rivals.
Taylor Swift's Concert in Vienna Cancelled Over Fears of an ISIS Attack
DIN: This is really Karma, as she recently donated to a fund for Gaza! Maybe she just pledged and never donated so they wanted to kill her and her fans!
Organizers of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna this week called them off on Wednesday after officials announced arrests over an apparent plot to launch an attack on an event in the Vienna area such as the concerts.
Swift was scheduled to play at the Austrian capital’s Ernst Happel Stadium on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as part of her Eras Tour.
Event organizer Barracuda Music said in a post on its Instagram channel late Wednesday that “we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.” It cited government officials’ “confirmation” of a planned attack at the stadium.
Earlier Wednesday, authorities said they had arrested two suspected extremists, one of whom appeared to be planning an attack on an event in the Vienna area such as the upcoming concerts.
The 19-year-old main suspect was arrested in Ternitz, south of Vienna, and the second person in the Austrian capital.
Franz Ruf, the public security director at Austria’s interior ministry, said that authorities were aware of “preparatory actions” for a possible attack “and also that there is a focus by the 19-year-old perpetrator on the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna,” the Austria Press Agency reported.
Ruf said the 19-year-old had pledged an oath of allegiance to the Islamic State group.
The Austrian citizen is believed to have become radicalized on the internet. Ruf said that chemical substances were secured and were being evaluated. He didn’t give more details.
The cancelation came hours after authorities said security measures for the Swift concerts would be stepped up. Ruf said that there would be a special focus among other things on entry checks and concertgoers should plan a bit more time.
Vienna police chief Gerhard Pürstl said at the same time that, while any concrete danger had been minimized, an abstract risk justified raising security.
Barracuda Music said that “all tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.”

Every 'rabbi' for Kamala Harris' belong to anti-Israel groups
Democrats have tried to reassure Jewish voters that they have nothing to worry about despite Kamala’s harsh criticism of Israel’s war on Hamas. But the Kamala campaign platforms and normalizes anti-Israel activists while shutting out normative figures in the Jewish community
Not only does ‘Jewish Americans for Kamala Harris’ appear to be co-hosted with the Kamala Harris presidential campaign, but several of its anti-Israel clergy have ties to Kamala.
‘Jewish Americans for Kamala Harris’ shows that the Kamala campaign, like the Obama campaign, calculatedly platforms and normalizes anti-Israel activists while shutting out normative figures in the Jewish community. It is not a coincidence that all of the clergy at the virtual rally were anti-Israel activists. It also not a coincidence that no pro-Israel clergy or members of more traditionally religious denominations were on the call.
The ‘Jewish Americans for Kamala Harris’ rally anticipates a Kamala administration that will pursue anti-Israel policies while surrounding itself with anti-Israel activists of Jewish descent.
Jewish Democratic Council of America has sent a clear signal that the only Jews welcome by the Kamala campaign are those that will join it in opposing the Jewish State.
Supreme Court discussing the conditions of the terrorists from October 7th.....Israelis Having None of That!
The Court discussing the conditions of the terrorists from October 7th.
The lawyer for the Association for Civil Rights talked about the prisoners' conditions, saying,
"They are held in cages, shackled and blindfolded, within fences."
The crowd erupts in shouting: "And where are our hostages being held? What are you even discussing?"
"Who made you Jews?" called out a representative of one of the bereaved families. "They burned people alive. They raped and murdered men and women. This is something that even animals don’t do. There must be only one outcome for them – the punishment of death. Then there will be no problem of space and there will be no false accusations against IDF soldiers."
"Our children are hostages in Gaza, who cares about their conditions? Who cares about Kfir Bibas?" the outraged families shouted at the Supreme Court judges, “You should be ashamed of yourselves.”
Acting Supreme Court President, Uzi Vogelman responded: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the State of Israel. Whether you like it or not Israel is a state of law. Court hearings must be held quietly."
'Putin tells Iran: You can hit Israel, just don't kill any civilians'
Vladimir Putin has asked Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for a restrained response to Israel's suspected killing of the leader of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh.
The message, in which the Russian President said he understood the need for retaliation but asked the Islamic Republic not to target Israeli civilians, was delivered on Monday by Sergei Shoigu, a senior ally of the Kremlin leader.
Shoigu met with Iran's new president Masoud Pezeshkian earlier this week before holding a series of meetings with top Iranian officials as the Islamic Republic weighs its response to last week's assassination of Haniyeh.
Iranian sources described Shoigu's visit as one of several avenues Moscow had used to relay to Iran the need for restraint while at the same time condemning Haniyeh's killing as 'a very dangerous assassination', in a bid to prevent a Middle East war.
Two sources with knowledge of the matter did not provide further details on the talks with Shoigu, who was defence minister before becoming the secretary of Russia's security council in May.
But they warned that the Middle East is on the brink of a major conflict, and said those behind the assassination of Haniyeh are bent on triggering a wider war.
Russia has cultivated closer ties with Iran since the start of its war with Ukraine and for months has been preparing to sign a wide-ranging cooperation agreement with Tehran.
Neither Iranian nor Russian officials have offered comment on this week's talks, but Russia's state-run RIA news agency reported yesterday that Shoigu confirmed the assassination of Hamas' Haniyeh in Tehran, and Iran's response, were topics of discussion.
