Simply looking at how Harris and her team allocated funding for the campaign is a stark reminder of how poorly her entire fiscal policy would have been for the nation. “Instead of owning any mistakes, or being transparent about the voter data and strategies that were so obviously wrong, they shut off their Twitter account and are patting each other on the back,” a former Harris consultant told the press. “We dug out of a deep hole but not enough.” Harris spent about…

Healthcare is considered “medically necessary” when it is required to maintain or restore a patient’s health. And, despite posts on social media claiming otherwise, abortion can fall into that category in emergency situations – even in the third trimester. “Abortion is never medically necessary in the last trimester.
