The Biden-Harris DOJ re-indicts Trump by simply re-writing charges despite Supreme Court ruling. Just more interference with early voting and the election.

Harris Walz CNN interview is pre-taped. What a crock.

Please bring on the debates.

And another thing, how does Kamala feel about herself as her handlers know she is not up to the task and are working to make it look like she is? Is she that dumb enough to simply stand by in a empty pants suit pretending along? It appears she does.

I posted actual up to date media policy from Arlington National Cemetery government website earlier, still waiting for someone show me the federal law that prohibits photography hell doesn’t even have to be the allegation printed in the Guardian.

13 soldiers remembered that day victims of a botched withdrawal and all you can do is get on your high horse and piously chirp about hallowed ground and Trump.

You and the media destroyed that day and made it about you and your politics.

I have to concur here. No matter what Trump does...IT IS WRONG. It is tiresome at best. And again, if he is wrong all the time...might as well video, take pictures and set up a BBQ for after ceremony party time.

And again. WTH was Biden and Harris???? Frick-in crickets. The Harris camp is quick to frown on Trump concerning the matter.

All these self righteous pious crusaders on their high horse here couldn't name even one of those 13 fallen soldiers if they tried. The reality is they couldn’t care less about them they’d rather twist the day of remembrance into some pointless argument about Trump. Unfortunately they just can’t help themselves.


That is what a 24 year retired veteran thinks of you that kook fringe on MTN.

That is the opinion of veteran

It is truly incredible why the media has not asked why Biden/Harris were not there. Even Walz? This is why I say no matter what Trump does or in many cases has not done he is called out on it.

This veteran agrees. There are plenty of pictures of Biden walking around the graves at Arlington. None of them had a problem with that either.

Funny thing is...I did not see a vote for Trump sign in the photo. Does anyone have such a photo that shows this as part of campaigning? I hear of a TikTok video. I have not see any. How is this any different?

No I can't see any, but the chance that he did it to gain votes can't be rejected either. This is not illegal is it ?

There is no evidence he did this for votes. But darn it, the media is going to tell you it was. Was there a gallery of 5000 people behind him pumping Trump/Vance 2024 signs? The families asked him to come. The took a group photo. Some of the family are thumbs up and throwing gang signs for crying out loud.

He was, as you mentioned, invited and that's good enough for me.

It's funny to read the comments. It all depends on where you stand. Those who are pro-Trump is defending him and those who's against him....

There’s no prohibition against taking photographs at the cemetery, but federal regulations bar “partisan political activities” from occurring at memorial services or other ceremonies held at National Military Cemeteries. “Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds,” an Army spokesperson said in a statement Thursday.

I must have missed the partisan political activity. I have seen a picture of a family throwing gang signs, thumbs up and smiling. Can anyone point out the partisan political activity?

You can try what you want, but these are the rules a cemetery official was trying to prevent filming and photography to ensure the federal law against politicizing cemetery grounds was respected.

Arlington National Cemetery routinely hosts public wreath-laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers for individuals and groups who submit requests in advance, ANC conducts nearly 3000 such public ceremonies a year without incident,” the rare Army statement read. “Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds.

Cemetery officials said that they informed the Republican candidate’s campaign ahead of time that staff were prohibited from engaging in political activity. Despite this, Trump's campaign staff refused to heed an employee's reminder of the prohibition, reportedly verbally and physically abusing her; in a statement, the Trump campaign later attacked the employee, claiming she was mentally ill.

Consistent with the decorum expected at ANC, this employee acted with professionalism and avoided further disruptions. The incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure the public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation's fallen deserve.
