Weekly Patriots Roundup: Kamala Can't Escape Her Failures

Let's call a spade a spade: Kamala's debate performance Tuesday night wasn't awful, mostly because expectations were so low. She managed to bait and derail Trump a few times, notably when she took a swipe at the attendance levels at his campaign rallies.

She managed to[bait and derail Trump]( a few times, notably when she took a swipe at the attendance levels at his campaign rallies. Of course, regime media declared Kamala the victor. But Trump, much to his credit, still managed to land a blow on Harris regarding her previous left-wing positions, her own administration's handling of the economy and America's immigration crisis.

If you love reading the Daily Caller, [please consider joining us today.]( REAL BIG NEWS Win McNamee / Staff / Getty Trump's Debate Silver Lining: Kamala Still Can't Escape Her Own Admin's Failures With help from ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, who continuously corrected Trump and left Harris un-checked throughout the night, Kamala squeaked by without completely blowing up her own campaign. But the Daily Caller's Mary Rooke argues her so-called victory is more fragile than it seems: There is no sugarcoating the fact that Trump was fighting from the moment he hit the stage until the debate ended. The moderators asked slighted questions, pushed back on all of his answers and threw softballs at Harris. ABC wanted Harris to win the debate, as evidenced by the three-on-one battle Trump was in. However, amid the chaos, Trump was able to land a blow against Harris, which she wasn't prepared for. While Trump was careless enough to take the bait on Harris's attacks on his rally size or his respect among international leaders, he found her weaknesses — Pennsylvania, fracking and guns. The internal polling on these issues must be bad for her, or she wouldn't have felt the need to defend herself or invoke Polish Americans who live in Pennsylvania, her stance on fracking or her position on mandatory gun buyback programs. She allowed his comments calling her a Marxist to slide but fiercely defended herself against his attacks on these issues because they are directly concerning American voters who connect her energy policies to the failing economy. Once he realized these were her weaknesses, he hit her time and time again on her anti-fracking policy. Regrettably for Trump, his most compelling arguments of the night were saved for his closing statements. "She's going to do this, she's going to do that, she's going to do all these wonderful things," Trump said. Why hasn't she done it? She's been there for three and a half years. They've had three and a half years to fix the border. They've had three and a half years to create jobs." He should have said this many more times early in the night. However, it was better late than never and clearly made a mark on voters. Harris's failure to address the economy in a manner that resonated with voters was a significant misstep. CNN's post-debate polling revealed that not only did she fail to sway voters on economic issues, she actually lost ground while Trump gained. The debate left more American voters convinced that Trump is better equipped to handle economic matters than Harris. Read more[here](. HOT OFF THE PRESS Sandy Huffaker / Stringer / Getty DEI On The Retreat: Corporations that were embracing race-based, LGBT initiatives are now in full-scale retreat, thanks, in part, to conservative activist Robby Starbuck. These aren't just random, unknown companies. They are some of the biggest in the U.S. and truly classic American brands, such as Harley Davidson, Ford, Lowe's, the parent company of Jack Daniels, Coors, Tractor Supply Co. and John Deere.

Duck Off: Amid allegations that Haitian migrants are chowing down on animals and pets in Springfield, Ohio, Daily Caller reporter Rob McGreevy turned to veteran hunters to get their perspective on "illegal immigrant privilege": While some of the exact details are fuzzy, a number of resident testimonies and news reports point to an influx of Haitian migrants in Ohio catching wild avian creatures for the purpose of chowing down. Several pissed off hunters, who chose to remain anonymous to avoid prosecution from the Biden-Harris Department of Justice, told the Caller it's an unfair infringement on the wildfowl ecosystem. "This is Haitian privilege. Illegal immigrant privilege. Normal people have to get licenses and stamps. Normal people have to spend a bunch of money hiring guides and paying off the government," a hunter told the Caller. Check out the[full story](. Joe Dons Don: President Joe Biden[displayed]( a brief, endearing moment of unity during an event to recognize first responders affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. At the Shanksville Fire Station in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Flight 93 crashed, a volunteer fireman handed Biden his Trump hat after Biden gave him a POTUS cap. In a gesture of unity, Biden placed the hat on his head — for only a few seconds, mind you — and smiled to the crowd. It was the most alive the president has looked since probably early 2019.

FOR THE RECORD Roasting ABC Easy As 1, 2, 3: Debate viewers went off on ABC News moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir for their bias against Trump during his first debate with Kamala Harris. Both moderators repeatedly fact-checked Trump but on numerous occasions let Kamala get away with boldfaced lies. See the reactions[here](. Kamala Not Very Photogenic: The White House News Photographers Association (WHNPA)[took a shot]( at Harris's campaign team for "unprecedented reduction in access" over the past month. "It's very disappointing," Jessica Koscielniak, the WHNPA president, told Axios. "This is the smallest number of media to travel for a presidential race in my memory." It's also no surprise, considering Harris often malfunctions or else bursts into a fit of nervous laughter anytime she goes near the press and has to say something off-script.
