The Folly of Medicare for All
The Folly of Medicare for All: Medicare is not free.
The Medicare payroll tax started in 1966 for private and corporate employers, their employees, and those who were self-employed at that time. Federal employees didn’t start paying Medicare taxes until 1983. Most retirees currently claiming Medicare have contributed throughout their lifetime, and monthly contributions continue to be taken out of Social Security benefits based on the previous year’s income. At the end of last year, it was announced that 2024 Medicare monthly premiums were going up 14.5 percent, and the Medicare Part B deductible is also increasing by $30. Early estimates indicate that the 2025 increase may be five to ten percent. The cost of expensive Medicare supplemental policies increase as we age and don’t cover everything — especially costly prescriptions.
Trump’s Electrifying, World-Changing Victory
Trump’s Electrifying, World-Changing Victory: It was exactly 1:38 A.M. today that Bret Baier on Fox News said that it was clear “that the next president of the United States of America would be Donald J. Trump.”
Not taking a micrometer of credit away from President Trump 47 and his epically tireless, passionate, often hilariously funny, and brave — in spite of three assassination attempts and then a fourth death threat — countrywide, night-after-night, week-after-week, month-after-month, year-after-year campaign.
Recapping the slimy ‘celebs’ who said they’d off themselves or flee America with a Trump victory
Recapping the slimy ‘celebs’ who said they’d off themselves or flee America with a Trump victory: I’m starting a list, just to make sure that we don’t forget anyone, containing the names of the “celebrities” who promised to off themselves or flee the U.S., in the event of a President Trump victory.
Well, for what are they waiting? Have at it you jackasses, times to get going! Also, where can I tune in to watch the festivities? I kid… kind of.
The New Trump Era
The New Trump Era: Now that that’s settled and Trump has achieved what seems to be a comfortable victory, from a historical perspective, there’s some virtue in killing all of your enemies, at least figuratively. Julius Caesar didn’t and was killed almost immediately after having himself declared dictator for life.
The Greatest Comeback of All Time
The Greatest Comeback of All Time: The “experts” said it couldn’t be done. They called him a “loser” and an “illegitimate” president whose time in office should be stricken from the pages of history. Political pundits said his refusal to accept the mail-in-ballot-fraud-tainted 2020 election results made him an “insurrectionist” and a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Democrat prosecutors and judges threw his supporters in jail. Democrat operatives in the FBI and DOJ insinuated that he is a “Russian spy” and “domestic enemy” who should be convicted of treason. The most hoity-toity “reporters” from the fanciest newspapers in the land said that Americans would never elect a criminal defendant facing the possibility of life in prison. All of the “very best people” from the “most respected institutions” told us that Donald Trump’s political comeback was impossible.

President Trump ‘the convicted felon’ gets to vote… thanks to a relatively new Democrat law
President Trump ‘the convicted felon’ gets to vote… thanks to a relatively new Democrat law: Glorious, glorious comeuppance, and divine schadenfreude.
Mainstream media operatives at both CNN and The New York Times find themselves in a distraught state today because President Donald Trump still gets to vote in the election despite being a ...
Fight! Fight! Fight! Vs. Fake, Fake, Fake
Fight! Fight! Fight! Vs. Fake, Fake, Fake: The most iconic image of the 2024 campaign came from the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Pennsylvania on July 13. An assassin had just fired multiple shots at President Trump, wounding him in the ear. Secret Service agents scrambled to shield the president, while counter-snipers neutralized the shooter. As members of his security detail began to briskly move him from the stage where he was speaking, President Trump asked them to stop so that he could reassure supporters he was alive and well. With blood streaked across his face and pooling near one side of his mouth, he stretched a closed fist toward a blue sky with an American flag waving just behind his head and shouted to all who could hear, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The Case for Trump
The Case for Trump: The key factors to evaluate anyone running for political office are the record, the current pledges, claims by adversaries, the motivation for running, the campaign, and above all the individual.
We first begin with President Trump.
The economic boom under Trump led to historic growth and record-low unemployment across demographics. America gained seven million new jobs causing the unemployment rate to be 3.5%, the lowest in a half-century.
Inflation and the price of fuel were under control. For the first time in nearly 70 years, America become a net energy exporter.
The industrial and farming heartland was revived. 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs were created.
The Dow closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020. The middle class received much-needed tax cuts that boosted savings.
Illegal immigration was down. Trump appointed three conservative judges to the Supreme Court. The hegemony of China was successfully challenged.

KENNY CODY: Only Trump can bring America unity and sanity
KENNY CODY: Only Trump can bring America unity and sanity At this critical juncture, there is only one solution to unify the United States: electing Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance as President and Vice President.
JOHN MAC GHLIONN: Kamala Harris is the enemy of middle class America
JOHN MAC GHLIONN: Kamala Harris is the enemy of middle class America "When she promises to uplift the middle class, it’s nothing more than a bald-faced lie — a skill at which she has proven herself adept. Only a fool would vote for Kamala Harris."
American Jews are shifting to the right
American Jews are shifting to the right: A great deal of ink has been spent on discussing the changes in minority communities for this election. Several of them -- Hispanics and Blacks in particular -- are leaving the Democrat Party and planning to vote for Republicans. This is great news not just for conservatives, but for the country.
But one minority group remains in the background with little commentary: the Jews. As many people may know, the Jews have been grounded in the Democrat Party ever since they came to this country. They have prided themselves on standing up for the poverty-stricken, for those who are the downtrodden, for those who are unable to find their way ahead in this country.
But times are changing.
With a True Vote Count, Trump Wins in a Landslide
With a True Vote Count, Trump Wins in a Landslide : Everybody is being implored to get out and vote. We also hear appeals that this year’s November 5 election is the most important election in America’s history. Let us be clear why that statement is true and why every citizen needs to vote.
People forget that America is matchless in all human history. Prior to the birth of America with its founding documents -- the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution -- it was the state that determined the subjects’ rights. And those rights could change at the whim of whoever wielded government power. The world lived in shades of darkness, until the light came through America.
If you choose life, you must choose Trump
If you choose life, you must choose Trump: Based on his record and current pledges, President Trump is a staunchly pro-life president, not just the life of the unborn but of the child, and the adult.
It's simple: if you choose life, you choose Trump.
Pennsylvania television station declares Kamala Harris the winner…on October 27th
Pennsylvania television station declares Kamala Harris the winner…on October 27th: Pennsylvania’s WNEP-TV, a local ABC affiliate, surprised its viewers during last Sunday’s broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix. How so, you ask? By reporting that, with “100%” of the vote tallied, Democrat Kamala Harris had defeated Republican Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election by garnering 52% of the vote. This was particularly shocking since the date was October 27th—and Election Day isn’t until November 5th.
Was this simply wishful thinking—or something more nefarious? What if, after “100%” of the actual vote is tallied, Harris ends up winning with 52% of that vote? Curious? Ironic? Also inexplicable? Or pre-rigged?
Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty
Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty: When five different people send you a link, you know that something very important has happened, even if the drive-by media aren’t trumpeting it on their outlets. In this case, it’s Robert Williams’ report at the Gatestone Institute that, in September, the Harris-Biden administration, without fanfare, adopted a UN pact that gives the UN and the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) control over American speech, foreign policy, and, possibly, internal sovereignty. Thankfully, while the administration can sign someone’s name on the dotted line, the Constitution means that signature is invalid. But we’re not in the clear: That invalidity works only if we don’t have a government that acts as if the UN pact applies.

Kamala is actually dumber than she looks
Kamala is actually dumber than she looks:Kamala may actually be the epitome of the willfully ignorant political person. Censorship and ridiculously false characterizations are the usual weapons at her disposal, when reality is the actual problem. In his first term, because of his extensive real-world business experience, Trump was quite effective at improving the standard of living of the lower echelons of American society. Though ridiculously characterized as benefiting the über-rich capitalistic fat cats, this blatantly showcased the truly harmful ignorance of his opponents — that is, until a man-made pathogen “escaped” a Chinese laboratory.
Trump's Middle-Class Realignment
Trump's Middle-Class Realignment: Donald Trump has realigned the Republican party’s base and correspondingly reshaped the Democratic party’s traditional core. Of course, the full extent -- and the efficacy -- of his reshuffling the two parties’ electoral structures will only be fully seen next week. But even today anyone can see that Vice President Harris is campaigning oblivious to this sea change in the electorate.

November Surprise: Last Jobs Report Before Election Is a Complete 'Disaster,' Shows Worst Numbers in Years
November Surprise: Last Jobs Report Before Election Is a Complete 'Disaster,' Shows Worst Numbers in Years A disastrous jobs report for Democrats. And Kamala Harris is promising 4 more years of the same?
Reclaim the West
Reclaim the West Eric Metaxas explains that the Spiral of Silence is “the idea that as the price to speak rises, fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer yet will speak out, until a whole culture is silenced.”
Yes, We Can Shrink The Size And Cost Of Government
Yes, We Can Shrink The Size And Cost Of Government: One of President Trump’s goals is to reduce the size and cost of government, a heady and necessary project. The first step is for We the People to return Donald Trump to the Chief Executive’s chair and to give him a Congress that will approve his appointees with alacrity and pass his budget proposal. Time is very short, with the FY-2026 budget submission right around the corner. Only massive, immediate changes will meet the goal. Team Trump should be ready to run on Day One.
It will take at least a year to transition to a tidier government because meeting notification requirements, amending and canceling contracts, working with unions and RIF requirements, planning to consolidate infrastructure, and disposing of excess property will all take time.
Why does the political establishment hate Trump?
Why does the political establishment hate Trump?: The short answer to that question comes from George Orwell: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Packed into that pithy aphorism is the explanation of the bitter struggle centering on the person of President Donald J. Trump.
The Media's Mammoth Thumb on the Electoral Scale
The Media's Mammoth Thumb on the Electoral Scale: The problem isn’t that Democrats openly and habitually lie about Donald Trump on a regular basis.
The problem is that the media uses subliminal messaging to reinforce those lies. They are not fair, neutral arbiters. The media are Democrats, by and large.
For example, Democrat strategist Aisha Mills recently appeared on Erin Burnett’s show on CNN and blatantly lied about a recent comment from Trump, claiming he’d said that illegal immigrants to the U.S. brought in a lot of “bad genes” among other things.

Once Joyful Harris Now Goes the Full McCarthyite
Once Joyful Harris Now Goes the Full McCarthyite Victor Davis Hanson: Harris is now confirming to voters that she really can neither think nor speak well and has no consistent agenda that appeals to the middle class.
The death toll from illegal immigration grows by the day
MARIA ESPINOZA: The death toll from illegal immigration grows by the day Every American who dies at the hands of an illegal immigrant is a victim of both a heinous crime and a system of illicit, government-sponsored trafficking that will continue to take the lives of our citizens as long as it continues. Unfortunately, that death toll just grew higher, thanks to the preventable deaths of even more Americans: this time at the hands of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) their very tax dollars support.
Prominent Pastor Urges Followers to Vote for Donald Trump
Prominent Pastor Refutes Those Who Say 'Don't Mix Religion and Politics' as He Makes Presidential Endorsement: One pastor is speaking up about who he's voting for when many Christians are choosing to stay out of the 2024 election.
Ten Things President Trump Can Do To Return The Government To The People
Ten Things President Trump Can Do To Return The Government To The People: I’m writing this on the 29th of October. As I wrote last week, I think Donald Trump is going to win. I think he’ll take office in January, but the two months between will be chock full of Democrat tricks trying to delegitimize his victory and coordinated riots seeking to push America into chaos before he’s inaugurated, along with the swamp seeking to do everything it can to insulate itself from the potential consequences of a Trump presidency.
January 20, 2025, will not be a checkered flag moment. On the contrary, it will be the starting line for a four-year race to save the nation. As such, we need to look at what exactly needs to be done going forward. Here are ten things President Trump needs to do. There’s much more, but I’d suggest this is a place to start.
The single-issue abortion voters have painted themselves into a corner
The single-issue abortion voters have painted themselves into a corner: The only thing Kamala Harris has going for her is her extreme position on abortion.
She has nothing else.
The Biden regime has been a disaster by every criterion – domestic (unlimited immigration), foreign policy (wars on three fronts), economic (disastrous inflation), military (eviscerated and transgenderized). Harris supports no restrictions on abortion up to and including birth.
When pushed on this, she says it’s not true but it is.
Kamala family values: Campaign ad urges wives to lie to their husbands about their votes
Kamala family values: Campaign ad urges wives to lie to their husbands about their votes: Aren’t the Democrats the party of the women's liberation movement?
You know, they profess that women are independent, mistresses of their own destiny, and nobody’s property. Also, the Democrats equate ‘women’s liberation’ with abortion on demand 24/7, up through nine months -- as women tell the rest of society to bug off -- with ‘my body, my choice.’
So, I was understandably gob-smacked when, while driving, I heard a radio ad by two of Kamala’s Hollywood cheerleaders: Julia Roberts and George Clooney. These two stalwarts of moral smugness and superiority were actually telling married women to lie to their spouses about how they voted.

If Trump Wins
If Trump Wins The 2016 and 2020 elections were close even though Clinton (5%) and Biden (8%) had solid polling leads at this point. We need to contemplate a Trump win not only in the electoral college but also in the popular vote.
Trump Extends An Open Hand to Rank and File Democrats
Trump Extends An Open Hand to Rank and File Democrats: I know plenty of Democrats. Both of my parents were Democrats. Some of my siblings. Almost all of my cousins.
Heeding John F. Kennedy’s call to “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country,” they believe the government should protect working families against the predatory practices of multinational corporations like Amazon, Facebook, and Google.
They fought and continue to fight bravely, both on and off the battlefield, in defense of America’s founding principles of free speech, freedom of religion and conscience, freedom of association, and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Yet the tragedy of our time is that these Democrats—people who love America like Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, Jr.—have been and are being betrayed by their own party, by imposters who pretend to be Democrats but are not.
'Garbage': Why they hate Trump supporters
'Garbage': Why they hate Trump supporters: Times are tough for Kamala Harris.
It's so bad that even her primary allies, her propagandists who masquerade as journalists, are struggling to spin the narrative on her flailing campaign. They attempted various ploys to change the narrative but they failed.
The latest was the 'outrage' following a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about the state or condition of Puerto Rico.
The consequence of so many hoaxes is they no longer cause any impact even among their supporters.
Even their ally, Jon Stewart defended Hinchcliffe but questioned the idea of having a roast comedian at a rally days before the elections.

The 2024 Presidential Election Is About Leadership
The 2024 Presidential Election Is About Leadership: Leadership guru Peter Drucker is credited with saying, “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes." With a non-compos mentis President stumbling around the White House for the past 3¾ years, barely making sense to anyone, including his own staff, many of the mainstream media and others leaning leftward believe Kamala Harris is the appropriate choice for his replacement.
Leadership is the prime requisite for an effective U.S. president. Harris’s leadership as Vice President, especially her role as America’s Southern Border Czar, proves she is a LINO, a Leader In Name Only. Her performance as Vice President has been less than dismal and her constant cackling is a telltale sign of her personal discomfort being in stressful and demanding leadership situations.
The Biden-Harris Administration Wasted Nearly One Billion on Misinformation
The Biden-Harris Administration Wasted Nearly One Billion on Misinformation A new, massive 113-page report from the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee has detailed the remarkable abuses from the Biden-Harris administration and the manner in which they communicated during Covid.
Women Deserve Better Than Hillary ... or Kamala
Women Deserve Better Than Hillary ... or Kamala: America will one day have a female president. She will be smart, articulate, prudent, and brave. She will treat her campaign for office as a chance to prove to the American people that she has their best interest at heart. She will be thoughtfully prepared to answer any and all questions. Nobody will say it’s “her turn” or pretend she is more talented than she really is. Nobody will hold her to a lower or higher standard because of her sex. She will rise to the top because she earns it. Americans will listen to her speeches, watch how she conducts her personal life, and conclude that she is the right leader for the time. And when she is elected, no one will mumble, “She won only because she’s a woman.” She will win on her own merits.
President Trump has a vision for the USA
President Trump has a vision for the USA: If President Donald J. Trump is re-elected as our 47th president, we will see the renewal of our economy and social order as he has promised. Tariffs will be raised on goods manufactured abroad by U.S. companies as an incentive to bring the manufacture of those products back to the U.S. Thus, an intentional move to a more protectionist international trade policy will be reinstated as an alternative to the multilateral opening of trade that intensified during the years of the Clinton presidency. Domestic oil production will be incentivized and thus increase, resulting in a concurrent drop in transportation prices, with retail prices in our stores and at our pumps also significantly lowered (although it is doubtful that they will fall back to pre-Biden levels).
They’re doing what they’re accusing us of doing
They’re doing what they’re accusing us of doing: Earlier on, I argued why I think it's useful to debate Leftists online, knowing that it's unlikely they'' change their minds on anything.
It's good practice as it forces us to learn their arguments and how to counter them, and there are usually others silently following along who can be convinced.
But another Leftist tactic is psychological projection, which is ascribing to another person one's own feelings, thoughts, or attitudes.
Projection is used to relieve a sense of guilt or other unpleasant feeling. Blaming your own problems on someone else seems to be de rigueur in our society of late.
It's worth noting that there is a great deal of overlap between lying and projection.
The urgent need for voter ID
The urgent need for voter ID: In an era where technology and information are at our fingertips, it's paradoxical that one of our most sacred democratic acts, voting, remains vulnerable to manipulation and mistrust. The implementation of voter ID laws isn't just a policy suggestion; it's a cornerstone for the future of our democratic integrity.
Consider this: In every aspect of our lives, from boarding an airplane to cashing a check, we're asked to prove who we are. Why, then, should our voting system, the bedrock of our democracy, be an exception? Voter ID laws are not merely about security; they represent a pledge to maintain the sanctity of our electoral process, ensuring that every voice counts precisely once.

Is it time to vote with our minds rather than our hearts?
Is it time to vote with our minds rather than our hearts?: From childhood we’re encouraged to follow our hearts. Of course, “hearts” is a euphemism for “emotions.” Society implies that it’s noble to pursue what we crave, and avoid what we loath -- following our emotions rather than objective analysis of facts.
The danger in “following our hearts” is that we make objectivity subservient to emotions -- prioritizing desires over results. “Hearts” over “minds” pushes us to signal our virtue, rather than fret over outcomes.
Trump's Madison Square Garden speech was a tour de force -- so no wonder Democrats tried to distract from it
Trump's Madison Square Garden speech was a tour de force -- so no wonder Democrats tried to distract from it: Capping off his campaign, President Trump boldly took the stage at Madison Square Garden Sunday, laying out a message addressing Americans' dearest hopes for a better country.
I heard most of the speech, on and off while cooking dinner, often just stopping to listen, and was extremely impressed by its scope, its fresh material (he wasn't repeating old campaign speech material off the cuff) and its pride in America and its broad, welcoming tent. This was the speech of a president, not a puppet campaigner.
Trumpmentum: Trump is Peaking with the Fall Foliage
Trumpmentum: Trump is Peaking with the Fall Foliage: Election Day is almost here, and Donald Trump is rewriting the book on campaigning.
He is peaking at just the right time, along with the beautiful autumn leaves.
Fortunately, he remains the Republican candidate despite deep-state efforts to remove him from the ballot through lawfare and at least two failed assassination attempts.
How much of our tax money does the school district deserve?
How much of our tax money does the school district deserve?: We all venerate certain teachers from our early years. They were the ones who inspired and challenged us. It’s natural to expand that veneration to schools. After all, schools are where we were taught, where teachers work.
We all agree that education is of paramount importance. So it’s natural that we want to support the schools. Before we do, let’s look a little more deeply into the topic of schools and taxes.

Trump and Vance are adults
Trump and Vance are adults: If you take a fast inventory of the world’s “Great Power” leaders, they all have one thing in common: adulthood.
This is one of the most important “national security” aspects of former president Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance: they are adults and don’t hide it. Neither does Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu. Like them or not, neither does Russia’s Vladimir Putin, or China’s Xi Jinping.
In the game of great-power politics, these leaders play to win, and they don’t suffer fools. They know where they are going, and they know how to get there. As Trump recently stated, they are on top of their game. Harris and her running mate aren’t even in the game, and the rest of the world knows it. That’s dangerous because it signals weakness and easy defeat.
The left is ruining language, too
The left is ruining language, too: The Left tries to commandeer language for its own gain and power, just as it does with everything else.
To do so, it must change it, bastardize it, or deface it -- which is, to ‘progressives,’ a bonus. (And just as it does to everything else.)
Therefore, pedophiles become ‘minor-attracted persons,’ or MAPs. Abortion becomes ‘women’s healthcare.’ And attempting to imprison or kill one's political opponents becomes a valiant effort to ‘save our democracy.’
I have a deep and abiding love and respect for both the spoken and written language. It is much of what makes us human. If we lose the ability to properly communicate, inspire, and elevate, what a sad and stale world it would be.
2 major Dem propaganda outlets refrain from endorsing Harris
2 major Dem propaganda outlets refrain from endorsing Harris: A few days ago, the Los Angeles Times proprietor, Patrick Soon-Shiong, prevented the paper’s editorial board from endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
Since 2008, the paper exclusively endorsed Democrat presidential nominees. The paper has endorsed presidential nominees since its founding in 1881, pausing from endorsements only between 1976 and 2004.
Also recently, the WaPo refused to endorse Harris. The editorial page editor, David Shipley, told coworkers he “owns” the decision. However, other sources claim that the WaPo’s owner, Jeff Bezos, blocked the endorsement.
Kamala's Beyonce rally in Houston a fiasco
Kamala's Beyonce rally in Houston a fiasco: How is this for a miserable experience?
Fans of pop singer Beyoncé waited in line for as much as 12 hours to get a spot at Kamala Harris's rally in Houston, where "sources" from inside the Harris campaign told the press that Beyoncé would sing for them. The Washington Post was cautious, Hot Air's Ed Morrissey reported, but NBC News ran with it. And why wouldn't such a rumor be believed? Beyonce reportedly sang at Joe Biden's campaign rallies, so it seemed logical that she would also sing for the first black female presidential candidate.
But she didn't. She came, gave an endorsement, told them "it was time to sing a new song," and instead of sing, she left.
My Prediction: Trump Will Win The Election And, Maybe, The Popular Vote
My Prediction: Trump Will Win The Election And, Maybe, The Popular Vote: My prediction is that Donald Trump will win the election on November 5. I think he may actually win the popular vote as well. I’m referring to the actual votes of actual Americans, not the manipulated votes produced by computer tampering, illegals, and mail-in fraud.
That doesn’t mean that on the morning of the 6th, we’ll have a conclusive answer as to who the next president will be. No, sadly, given the Democrat propensity to cheat and the Swamp’s desire to defeat Trump, we’re likely looking at an adjudication clusterfark that could take weeks or even months.

Could black voters win Trump the presidency?
Could black voters win Trump the presidency?: Kamala Harris is facing significant challenges with black voters. A New York Times/Siena College poll from early October showed 15% of Black voters supporting Trump, while 78% back Harris. A more recent report by USA Today paints an even bleaker picture: 72% of black voters support Harris, while 17% back Trump. For Democrats, dropping below 80% support from black voters nationally could be a serious blow.
Simple Facts Expose The Climate Change Hoax
Simple Facts Expose The Climate Change Hoax: If we can’t even predict the weather, how can we control it? If you still have arrived at a point where you believe that CO2 is the weather control knob, it’s harmful, we’re at historically high levels of it, and that the US government (or any other entity on earth, perhaps maybe the UN) can predict the weather, then how would they go about controlling it?
Trump wants to end the tyranny of federal income tax
Trump wants to end the tyranny of federal income tax : Donald Trump has suggested that, given the chance, he’ll abolish the federal income tax in favor of a tariff-based federal revenue system. Because the federal government is a behemoth, tariffs won’t provide enough funding, but it’s a wonderful start. There are fair ways to raise money in addition to tariffs and, of course, the federal government must be cut down to size.
Trump Has the Momentum, Kamala Has the Cringe
Trump Has the Momentum, Kamala Has the Cringe William Jacobson: Two weeks from the election, Trump has the momentum, Trump has the polling, Harris has the cringe and people seem to be running for the exits on her and that’s probably the worst sign that she could possibly have.

Idiot celebrities who sell their souls for Kamala
Idiot celebrities who sell their souls for Kamala: As Kamala Harris continues to sink in the polls, she enlists a host of A-lister celebs to campaign for her. Talk about tone-deaf!
Every one of them is filthy rich, with no connection to the working- and middle-class people who support Trump. Bruce Springsteen, for example, built his song catalogue on the “working man” but has no grasp of how the Biden/Harris regime has so deeply impacted the working and middle classes. Lizzo is so ignorant that she thinks that “making the whole country like Detroit” is a good thing. This after she bragged about her “PJ” — her private jet. The Motor City has been devastated by this administration and their stupid green policies that do nothing for the environment but destroy jobs.
Harris-Biden Crime Policies Endanger Americans
Harris-Biden Crime Policies Endanger Americans: An October 2 interim report from the House Judiciary examined the uptick in violent crime in recent years in “major American cities” and found that Biden-Harris policies have “endanger[ed] Americans” and “made American communities less safe.”
Mailbox master key theft enables massive ballot theft
Mailbox master key theft enables massive ballot theft: The United States Postal Service and mail thieves are both getting better at their trade. The USPS now saves time by delivering mail to one master mailbox serving an entire neighborhood, apartment building, or other centralized location. The problem is that this supposed increase in mail efficiency also makes it easier to steal dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of mail-in ballots.

The Global Assault on Religious Freedom
The Global Assault on Religious Freedom Christianity is under attack in the West, yet the statement sounds hyperbolic because our news media shuns the subject.
Where the Democrat party meets communism
Where the Democrat party meets communism:Let’s separate the facts from the fiction with respect to the U.S. Democrat party and communism as dictated by the philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
The bible for the political and economic ideology known as communism is the Manifesto of the Communist Party (the “Communist Manifesto”), written by Marx and Engels in 1848. In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels set forth their philosophy that calls for the organization of the proletariat into a class, which then overthrows the bourgeois, secures political power, and imposes a communist system of government based on Marxist principles.
Globalist Misinformation: No, the Earth is Not Warming
Globalist Misinformation: No, the Earth is Not Warming: World War III is well underway, both conventional wars, as in NATO versus Russia via Ukraine, and the US playing both sides of a battle between Israel and Iran and their proxies. There is also a psychological war underway.
This is the war against the First Amendment in America and the longstanding Western concept of freedom of speech in many other countries. Misinformation and disinformation are the new enemies, concepts known only in the eyes of the beholder.
One man’s disinformation is another man’s speaking truth to power. Who is the referee? We, the people, or the administrative state?

Guest Column: Kamala Harris rebranded as the 'New Coke'
By Lowman S. Henry
In 1985 the Coca-Cola Company took one of the biggest gambles in marketing history. It changed the formula for its widely popular soft drink and branded it “New Coke.” The result was an unmitigated disaster. Sales crashed, and the company became the brunt of jokes on the late-night talk shows that were popular in that era.
Fast forward to 2024 and political image makers have created the “New Kamala.” They have repacked the unpopular far-Left vice president of the failed administration currently in power as a moderate offering a “new way forward.”
Unlike Coca-Cola, Democrats are unable to go back to their original product — Joe Biden — and are stuck with a failing replacement. There is an old saying in advertising that good advertising makes a bad product fail faster. Thus, as Kamala’s summer of joy fades into the autumn of reality voters are finding she is not as advertised.
The underlying problem for Kamala Harris and Democratic candidates all across Rush Limbaugh’s fruited plain is that not only their record — but the present reality — on the two issues voters care about most (the economy and immigration) cut against them.
Yes, government statistics show the rate of inflation has declined, unemployment is low and the jobs market is strong, and the Fed has implemented an election-year interest rate cut. But, with inflation having soared over 20% on the Biden/Harris watch, voters are not feeling the joy.
Pennsylvania with its 19 Electoral votes is being touted as the most important battleground state. There is no path to the White House for Kamala Harris if she loses Pennsylvania and a very narrow path for Donald Trump if he loses the state.
Harris has not been successful in untethering herself from the Biden record. In recent interviews in sympathetic venues, she has been unable to articulate even one difference she has with Joe Biden. That effectively undercuts the “new way forward” message. Various polls have shown voters believe they were better off during the first Trump Administration than they currently are under the Biden/Harris Administration.
The Commonwealth Foundation’s most recent Common Ground poll conducted the last week of September found inflation and rising costs to be the top concerns of voters. The poll’s analysis states: “Nearly seven-in-ten registered voters say inflation and price increases impact their family’s ability to maintain their standard of living . . . over half of all voters surveyed say their economic conditions are worsening.”
The poll digs deeper: “High energy costs contribute to the inflation squeeze. According to the survey, 77% of respondents say their energy bills have increased over the past two years (33% saying “a lot”). A significant majority (71%) say they are concerned about their ability to afford their family’s energy needs.”
Voters clearly feel both the state and nation are headed in the wrong direction. The Commonwealth Foundation voter poll found 68% of respondents saying things in America are off on the wrong track, and only 26% think the country is going in the right direction. Fifty-seven percent say things in Pennsylvania are off on the wrong track, and 33% think the state is headed in the right direction.
The Fall 2024 Keystone Business Climate Survey conducted by the Lincoln Institute of Public Opinion Research found the owners, top executives and managers of businesses in the state to likewise be in a surly mood. By a three-to-one margin respondents to the poll say the state’s economy has gotten worse, not better over the past six months.
Forty-five percent said the state’s business climate has gotten worse over the past six months; just 17% say it has gotten better. For comparison the Spring 2024 Keystone Business Climate Survey found that 36% said business conditions had gotten worse in the preceding six months, and 26% felt conditions had improved.
Inflation is clearly the key factor. Forty-six percent of the business leaders responding cited inflation as their top challenge with 42% citing concern over current economic conditions and 37% citing concern over future economic conditions. Ninety percent of those participating in the Fall 2024 Keystone Business Climate Survey said inflation has impacted their business with 49% saying the impact has been significant.
On the other major issue — immigration — 56% report illegal immigration has had a negative impact in Pennsylvania with 31% saying the impact has been significantly negative. Fifteen percent believe illegal immigration has had a positive impact on the state.
And so, from the board room to the kitchen table, Pennsylvanians are unhappy with the current condition of the economy and think things are headed in the wrong direction. The problem for Kamala Harris is, as it was with New Coke, consumers simply don’t like the product. The question is will Donald Trump be the Pepsi-Cola who benefits from that failure?

How Were Crucial Intelligence Documents Leaked to Iran?
How Were Crucial Intelligence Documents Leaked to Iran?: The leak of high-classified U.S. intelligence documents to the Iranian regime last week has triggered a much-needed counter-intelligence investigation to identify the source -- either a mole who has betrayed their country, or a cyber-hack.
The documents, which bore Top Secret/NOFORN and compartmented intelligence headers, described U.S. satellite spying on Israeli airfields as the IDF conducted exercises believed to foreshadow a massive airstrike on Iran.

A Long List of Leftist Lies
A Long List of Leftist Lies: I have a Notepad file called “Lies Democrats Believe.” It’s a compilation of lies told by leftist politicians, bureaucrats, and talking heads in the Democrat Media Industrial Complex (DMIC).
Why do Democrats lie? I don’t think they have any choice. The policies of the left are so damaging that those who promulgate them are averse to speaking of them openly. Can you imagine if they did? “Hey! We plan on keeping the border wide open so that those 435,000 convicted criminals we’ve let in over the course of the last few years will be just the tip of the iceberg! And we want to force you to sell your gasoline-powered car and go into hock for an E.V. you can’t afford and don’t want. We’re going to tax unrealized capital gains and probably collapse the stock market, convince your 6-year-old son to chemically sterilize himself, and force your daughter to share locker rooms with boys in her high school! How’s that sound?”

Local kids forced out of public schools to make room for the migrants
Local kids forced out of public schools to make room for the migrants:Logansport, Indiana has become the new Springfield Ohio—during the Harris-Biden years alone, more than ten thousand migrants poured in, largely from Haiti and other third world nations, and the population of this small midwestern town surged by more than 30%, per a conservative estimate from the county health department.
And, reported by an item published at the New York Post today, the demographic change is forcing local kids out of the public school system as the teachers find themselves diverting more time and attention to the non-English-speaking portions of the class.
Those Cheney endorsements are backfiring badly for Kamala as the Arab-American vote abandons her for Trump
Those Cheney endorsements are backfiring badly for Kamala as the Arab-American vote abandons her for Trump: Kamala Harris has some electoral strategy skills.
She "won" the endorsement of Trump-hating Liz Cheney and her endless-war pop, Dick Cheney, parading around with Liz to win votes, presumably of disaffected Bush-era Republicans. She made a big show of it. She even said she could put them in her cabinet.

Why are the media and the Harris-Biden government so intent on hiding the truth from the public?: Why are the media and the Harris-Biden government so intent on hiding the truth from the public?
Merrick Garland wouldn’t release the full transcript of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. It is obvious that the politicized Justice Department needed to hide the truth, just like they hid the laptop from the public. They couldn’t stand for the voters to see how Biden’s brain was shot after years of telling the public how sharp he is and what a great president he is.
Is Kamala Harris a Marxist?
Is Kamala Harris a Marxist?: There has been a lot of analysis and commentary about last month’s presidential debate, regarding everything from the ABC moderators’ selective fact-checking to Harris’s statement that she is a gun owner to Trump’s reference to reports that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating dogs and cats. Also remarkable was Trump’s assertion that “[Harris] is a Marxist. Everyone knows she’s a Marxist. Her father is a Marxist professor in economics. And he educated her well.”
The New York Times continues to beclown itself
The New York Times continues to beclown itself: One of the most wonderful things about Donald Trump is that he forces people and organizations to reveal who they are. He is the living embodiment of Confucius’s theory about the “rectification of names,” which says that things must be properly seen and identified for a society to function. The media once presented themselves as dignified truthtellers, but, thanks to Trump, we see that they are really laughable hacks—and nothing more perfectly shows that than the New York Times’s “fact-check” regarding Kamala’s alleged stint at McDonald’s.

Tim Walz says his mother will starve without her Social Security checks: September 17 was Constitution Day, a day set aside for American patriots to commemorate the moment 237 years ago, when delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed that document. It’s all the day when a prominent Philadelphia matron, Elizabeth Willing Powel, ambushed Benjamin Franklin as he left Constitution Hall. Spying Franklin, she pounced with the interrogatory, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” This is the famous question to which Franklin uttered his famous response: “A republic, if you can keep it!”

Kamala Harris’s disaster interview: Doesn’t answer a single question, instructs voters to read her website instead
Kamala Harris’s disaster interview: Doesn’t answer a single question, instructs voters to read her website instead: Last night, Kamala Harris spoke to Fox News’s Bret Baier, and the interview was a catastrophe. Not only did she completely avoid taking responsibility for all the disaster and chaos she and Joe Biden are directly responsible for—see also Patricia McCarthy’s item on that here—but she unequivocally and forcefully refused to answer a single query from Baier, despite his very straightforward style in which he basically asked her yes or no questions.

The Democrats have damaged their brand: The latest news is that Kamala is crashing in the polls. I’m shocked...shocked, I tell you! Though I’m compelled to chuckle, I still advocate serious competition for the hearts and minds of the electorate — so as to hold the sword of Damocles over the necks of all our “esteemed” leaders.

Trump’s appointees must be fiercely loyal: The President, doing his duty, will make thousands of appointments to federal positions. Some, like Foreign Service officers and Senior Warrant Officers, are career appointments into federal or military service. These appointments require the consent of the Senate, but the president’s tenure does not provide a time limit.

The bloom is off the rose, and even diehard Dems curse in the darkness and scream that Kamala Harris was a terrible, horrible, really bad candidate. She was never ready for prime time and her presidential aspirations will soon be relegated to the dustbin of history.
