Chicken Liddle rejected the network’s invitation insisting “THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE.”

Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday that he won’t debate Kamala Harris again after Fox News made a last-ditch attempt to set up another showdown in the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election.

The network said letters had been sent to both campaigns inviting the candidates for a debate on either Oct. 24 or 27 in Pennsylvania which would be moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. In a trademark name-calling, all-caps Truth Social, Trump confirmed the Fox debate—or any other, for that matter—is just not going to happen.

“I WON THE LAST TWO DEBATES, ONE WITH CROOKED JOE, THE OTHER WITH LYIN’ KAMALA,” Trump wrote. “I ACCEPTED THE FOX-NEWS INVITATION TO DEBATE KAMALA ON SEPTEMBER 4TH, BUT SHE TURNED IT DOWN. JD VANCE EASILY WON HIS DEBATE WITH TAMPON TIM WALZ, WHO CALLED HIMSELF A KNUCKLEHEAD! I AM ALSO LEADING IN THE POLLS, WITH THE LEAD GETTING BIGGER BY THE DAY - AND LEADING IN ALL SWING STATES.”

The Republican nominee also rehashed a line he’s trotted out since his debate against Harris last month on ABC, likening the Democrat’s willingness to another head-to-head to a prizefighter demanding a rematch after a defeat. Multiple polls showed viewers thought Harris, not Trump, won the debate.

Trump also had other excuses for swerving another debate, though.

“IT IS VERY LATE IN THE PROCESS, VOTING HAS ALREADY BEGUN - THERE WILL BE NO REMATCH!” he wrote in his post Wednesday. “BESIDES, KAMALA STATED CLEARLY, YESTERDAY, THAT SHE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN JOE BIDEN, SO THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”

His comment appeared to refer to a remark Harris made Tuesday during an appearance on The View. Asked what she would have done differently than Biden over the last four years, Harris answered: “There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of—and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

Later in the show she said “one of the differences” between her and Biden would be that she will “have a Republican in my Cabinet.”

The Harris campaign has agreed to another debate, on CNN, scheduled for Oct. 23. Trump has until noon Thursday to accept the offer, but Chris LaCivita—one of Trump’s campaign managers—on Wednesday said they haven’t and won’t change their stance on refusing another debate.

And speaking of Vance;

Putin and his administrationare in love with Vance’s ‘childless cat lady’ comments. Putin sees Trump as his absolute ally and Vance’s words give the Kremlin encouragement. Now they can say, ‘See! We are not marginals!

Women have been a thorn in the Kremlin’s side for decades. The “Soldiers’ Mothers” movement led the protests against Putin’s various wars; women journalists—including the murdered Anna Politkovskaya—investigated and criticized his government’s corruption; female human rights defenders recorded the crimes against humanity committed by his officials.

Russian women don’t want to have babies, or at least not like they used to.

The answer, for Putin and his supporters, is to force women to have more children, using the law if needed.

The fertility rate is now about 1.44 children per woman, far below the 2.1 replacement rate needed to renew the population. The conflict in Ukraine, which has cost the lives of more than 100,000 young Russian men, can only add to the crisis.

In January, Putin himself told students in Kaliningrad that every Russian woman should have at least three babies. But the Kremlin’s own social study shows that 46 percent of Russians don’t want any children at all, let alone three or more.

Parliamentary Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, one of the president’s closest ideological allies (best-known for the saying, “If there’s no Putin, there’s no Russia”) says the issue is a “to be or not to be question” for the Kremlin. Volodin is trying to push through a law that would extend existing anti-LGBTQ legislation to cover “childlessness propaganda” too. Those pushing the “child-free” narrative would face fines of up to 400,000 roubles ($4,300).

The Kremlin is terrified by Kamala Harris. To see her as the president would go against everything Putin believes in.

Russian and American fundamentalists have more in common than a fascination with Donald Trump.

Putin echoes Western fundamentalists like Vance, following the anti-abortion trend and other ideas that restrict women’s personal liberties
