Why hasn’t Kamala Harris held a press conference yet? The answer isn’t what many in conservative media believe.
Yes, they’re repeating a variation of the Basement Biden playbook in 2020, but this isn’t because she’s just so horrible at answering questions. She IS horrible at taking questions, but that’s not the primary reason for avoiding the press. In fact, it’s only the third most important reason Democrats are playing Hide-the-Harris.
The second most important reason is that they want a starved media to focus on Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. With one side of the ballot mostly unavailable, corporate media is forced to look at Trump and Vance. And when corporate media looks at Trump, Vance, or any non-RINO Republicans, they instinctively paint them in a bad light.
The most important reason they want Harris and VP candidate Tim Walz away from media scrutiny is because they are leaning on unaccountable proxies. This is why they have Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress embarrassing themselves on talk shows. It’s why they’re offering as much as $10,000 to social media influencers for a single video. It’s why they’re quick to drop nuggets on social media or through mini-press releases to let their corporate media puppets extrapolate the campaign message.
This is a campaign-by-surrogate. If Harris or Walz say something, they have to be held to account for it. If a surrogate says something, it wouldn’t matter how false it is. That’s THEIR opinion, not the official opinion of the campaign or the candidates.
In other words, staying away from reporters and letting proxies do all the work allows them to lie as much as they want about themselves, Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and the state of the nation.
I discussed it during my Thursday show:
Here’s the news itself generated from corporate media reports…
Vice President Kamala Harris has not held a formal press conference since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on July 21, when President Biden endorsed her and subsequently dropped out of the race. Despite her active campaigning and informal interactions with reporters, Harris has not engaged in a wide-ranging interview or press conference for 18 days.
Harris’s absence from the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where former President Trump made headlines with his participation, has also been noted. Although she may attend the event in the future, her absence has drawn attention.
Recently, Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, but neither has faced formal questioning in interviews or press conferences. This has prompted criticism from Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance, who has urged the media to press Harris for answers.
During a press conference in Detroit, Vance called on reporters to hold Harris accountable and to stop giving her a “honeymoon” period. He emphasized the importance of Harris fulfilling her role as a presidential candidate by engaging with the press.
Critics have drawn comparisons to the “Biden basement” approach of 2020, where the president was accused of avoiding press conferences and public appearances. National Review senior writer Noah Rothman and NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham have both called for Harris to hold a press conference, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in a presidential campaign.
DePauw University media studies professor Jeffrey McCall suggests that the Harris campaign may be following the Biden strategy of avoiding press conferences, given her perceived lack of confidence in unscripted settings and the support she enjoys from her base. McCall argues that while her supporters may not demand accountability, engaging with the press could help attract undecided voters and moderates.
As Harris continues her campaign, the pressure to hold a press conference and address questions from the media may intensify, especially as the election approaches.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
So the wife ofTim Walz is a psycho who supported the burning down of the Twin Cities — good to know!!!
