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.

Op-Ed: Democracy Wins if Democrats Lose the Election: Harris' was undemocratically appointed as the nominee of the Democratic Party after President Biden was replaced in a coup.
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.

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.

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

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

Mailbox master key theft enables massive ballot theft: The United States Postal Service and mail thieves are both getting better at their trade.

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.

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: 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 '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.

Trump and the state of education
Trump and the state of education: We are now less than two weeks away from the Presidential election -- and Trump seems to have momentum. In the all-important states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, Trump looks to be ahead of Harris.
From a policy perspective, what might a Trump victory on November 5th mean? A Trump win would be bad news for the administrative state. Talking to one of Trump’s policy people a couple of months ago, they suggested to me that in his first term Trump had been too trusting of officialdom. The 45th President had underestimated the extent to which the bureaucratic machine in Washington would try to frustrate his policy goals.
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!”
Voter Fraud: The Only Issue That Matters in 2024
Voter Fraud: The Only Issue That Matters in 2024: No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit.

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.

Liz Cheney Accused of Unethical Behavior Surrounding Jan. 6 Committee After New Text Messages Surface
Liz Cheney Accused of Unethical Behavior Surrounding Jan. 6 Committee After New Text Messages Surface: Liz Cheney allegedly violated a legal ethics by being in contact with a former Trump official before her Jan. 6 committee testimony.
The Democrats have damaged their brand
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
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 Dems' new smell: Desperation
The Dems' new smell: Desperation: Why doesn’t the Democrat Party just throw in the towel and admit defeat in the upcoming presidential election? 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.

FBI sneaks in revision to its 2022 crime statistics, to show that actually, violent crime is up 4.5%, not down 3.5%: Now that election time is on, is there any such thing as an honest statistic from the Biden-Harris administration?

Kamala Harris Humiliated After ABC Debunks Her Dishonest Attack on Trump - 'Even More Pathetic': ABC News set the record straight after Kamala Harris suggested Donald Trump was having some sort of incident on stage Monday.
An appeal to non-voting Christians
An appeal to non-voting Christians: There have been several recent news stories about the low participation of Christians in elections. According to one, more than 100 million “people of faith” choose not to vote, including 40 million plus professed Christians.
There are multiple reasons cited for this low participation. Many say Christians are uninterested in politics. Others will say that they find all candidates unworthy of their vote. Since there was never any opportunity for early Christians to vote, the New Testament is silent on this issue.
The impenetrable arrogance of the left media
The impenetrable arrogance of the left media: As the 2024 presidential campaign edges to a close, the arrogance of the left, especially those in the media, is escalating to a fever pitch. The best example of their tone-deaf hysteria is Martha Raddatz’s attempt to humiliate J.D.Vance over what she called lies about FEMA and Tren de Aragua. People like Raddatz never learn from their egregious, foolish mistakes. She tried to assert that the reports of FEMA failures were false when everyone with a pulse has heard the hundreds of horror stories from the victims on the ground. She tried to stop Vance from speaking, so determined was she to push the government-promulgated lie that FEMA has been on the job. She really stepped in it when she brought up the overtaking of “several apartment complexes” by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in Aurora, Colorado, cities in Texas, and Wisconsin. Raddatz suggested that commandeering these “few apartment complexes” was just a minor annoyance.

The National Border Patrol Council publicly endorses Donald J. Trump for president: Publicly stating who really appreciates the valor of the border patrol agents protecting the U.S., the National Border Patrol Council, the union of border patrol agents, has come out and put it into words, endorsing Donald J. Trump for president.
Hollywood's hit-job film on Trump bombs at the box office
Hollywood's hit-job film on Trump bombs at the box office: When individuals bury themselves deeply in an echo chamber for a prolonged period of time, they begin to assume that not only their world but the entire world is the echo chamber.
This is probably what happened to those who greenlit the hateful anti-Trump propaganda picture, The Apprentice.
Trump-hating studio executives were approached by Trump-hating filmmakers and the project was instantly approved.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Strange, Mythological Campaign of Kamala Harris
The Strange, Mythological Campaign of Kamala Harris "The problem with all these canned, unauthentic commercials, altered biographies, complete political flip-flops, staged encounters, serial lies, and campaigning as a pseudo-change candidate against one’s own record and self is that it is hard to keep all the contradictions, hypocrisies, fables, and mythologies straight."
Why Columbus Day Remains a Foundational American Holiday
Why Columbus Day Remains a Foundational American Holiday: Seen within the big picture, Columbus Day is worth keeping and honoring as a great American holiday because it remains foundational to the establishment of a new nation by people who largely shared his qualities of character: self-made, adventurous, and reverent toward God. In fact, he chose to call himself Christopher Columbus because he liked what this name meant. In Latin, Columbus means dove while Christopher means Christ-bearer.
Does God Have A Plan For Trump?
Does God Have A Plan For Trump?: After the Trump assassination attempt at Butler, I’m having an unexpected crisis of faith. What’s unusual is...I’m an atheist. Not just an atheist, but you know, the insufferable kind, the kind that insists on being sworn in without that “so help me God” nonsense.
Enough ‘spring forward/fall back’
Enough ‘spring forward/fall back’ : Hey, guess what -- World War I is over! Get used to it! We no longer need to conserve that new-fangled stuff called electricity so we can defeat the Kaiser.
It just so happens that the semi-annual time-shift currently imposed on all but two of the United States is much more disruptive than the effects of jetlag.
Past Presidential Polls Provide a Big Clue About November 5
Past Presidential Polls Provide a Big Clue About November 5: What do the polls of elections past tell us about the current presidential race?
Borrowing from Charles Dickens’s classic “A Christmas Carol,” miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by ghosts from Christmas past, present, and future, converting him into a kinder and gentler soul.
Political polling also creates scrooges, especially when we see our preferred candidate losing in the polls, or our disliked candidate given a false boost due to the polling sample composition and spin.
The ghost of election present is today, the first week or two of October, less than a month until election day. The Real Clear Politics average shows Harris up 1.8 points over Trump, with only Rasmussen Reports giving Trump a 2-point lead.

Why are Democrats so determined to keep non-citizens on the voter rolls?
Why are Democrats so determined to keep non-citizens on the voter rolls?: For years, we have been told there is no voter fraud and illegals don't vote. No matter how many states violated their own election laws in 2020, we were told that the election was pure as the driven snow.
But, the U.S Justice Department is suing Virginia to not remove ineligible voters from their voter rolls, of which there are a lot. And, of course, we are told by the media that the Justice Department is absolutely impartial. If they were impartial and only concerned about having legal citizens vote, wouldn't they also encourage getting people who aren't citizens off the voter rolls?
Conservatives Must Preserve The Electoral College
Conservatives Must Preserve The Electoral College: Equality under the law is the bulwark of any free democratic nation that operates under the rule of law and values liberty and justice for all. This includes making the value of votes as equal as possible across a vast country. The U.S. Constitution’s Framers brought this concept as close to perfection as possible.

Barack Obama’s racist, crude day appearing on Kamala’s behalf
Barack Obama’s racist, crude day appearing on Kamala’s behalf: In the lead-up to and during Barack Obama’s presidency, we were relentlessly told that Barack Obama was a racial healer and a man of unusual, almost James Bondian suave sophistication. Both were lies. Barack Obama has always been a race hustler and a crude, low-thinking person. Both traits appeared during campaign appearances he made yesterday on Kamala’s behalf, where he made a vulgar crack about Donald Trump and shamed young black men for voting for their interests rather than their skin color.
The Left owns our institutions, but we still own ourselves
The Left owns our institutions, but we still own ourselves: It is general knowledge that virtually all the major American institutions have been taken over by The Left. It is similarly widely known that most European countries are governed by left-leaning elites and left-leaning institutions. The same goes for Canada and Australia. It is disturbing to find out that even many of Israel’s institutions are now controlled by “progressives.”

Who Raises Your Child — You or the ‘Village’?: Deploying the power of federal, progressive-dominated Washington has taken over the responsibilities of parents, aka caregivers. The “village” has made the roles of mother and father irrelevant and obsolete, but only if we let them!

The media pushes nonsensical migrant narratives
The media pushes nonsensical migrant narratives: Have you ever taken a serious look at how the mainstream media covers immigration? There isn’t a unitary narrative about migrants. There are actually multiple, contradictory storylines, and that’s deliberate.
Democrats don’t have a message that appeals to or resonates with voters
Democrats don’t have a message that appeals to or resonates with voters: Not that any research was needed to determine the Democrats are drowning in the shallow end, but a group of data scientists at Online Impact Group recently published the results of study that analyzed information from Facebook and Instagram, revealing a drastic disparity between user engagement when it came time to certain political agendas — Republicans beat Democrats by a significant margin.
Hurricane facts vs. climate fiction
Hurricane facts vs. climate fiction: While many attempt to falsely connect hurricanes to anthropogenic climate change, the truth is these monster storms are a natural and necessary function of our planet’s atmosphere. But that didn’t prevent CNN from posting a piece wildly declaring, “Helene was supercharged by ultra-warm water made up to 500 times more likely by global warming.”
Ron DeSantis shows the country how it's done
Ron DeSantis shows the country how it's done: Amid all the shambles, disorganization, delays, and waste seen any time the federal or many state governments gets involved in something, we have Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis to demonstrate what competent leadership looks like.
Could the Hurricane Response be Election Interference?
Could the Hurricane Response be Election Interference?: Rural western North Carolina is home to Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables.” Why else would they be left to struggle and die with little government effort? Is this the latest Democrat ploy at election interference, not stuffing the ballot box but changing the voter mix, increasing Democrat voters via illegal immigration, and decreasing Republican voters by letting them die?

Communists Out of the Closet
Communists Out of the Closet: Longtime Amertican Thinker readers will remember my viral 2008 article: Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis. That article described the Cloward-Piven Crisis strategy that Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, two radical Columbia University professors, dreamed up. Their first target was the welfare system. They hoped that signing up every person eligible for every public service would overwhelm the system and cause its collapse. In the ashes, they would then suggest the solution: a guaranteed annual income for all Americans. (Note that such proposals have been added to Biden spending bills but were stripped out). They went on to target voting and were the authors of the National Voter Registration Act (i.e., Motor Voter). That law made voter roll maintenance much harder while making non-citizen voting much easier.
CBS News continues its decades-long decline into the leftist muck
CBS News continues its decades-long decline into the leftist muck: Until the day he retired, my parents revered CBS News’s Walter Cronkite. Combining dignity with a gentle flow of compassion and wisdom, and always with a warm twinkle in his eye, he informed Americans about events worldwide. Then he concluded the show by saying, “And that’s the way it is.” They told me how they wept with him when President Kennedy died, and they believed him when he lied about the U.S. victory in the Tet Offensive, a lie that effectively lost the Vietnam War for America. In those days, CBS News had gravitas, and no one knew understood was pushing propaganda along with its straight news reporting.
Is 2024 America’s Last Election?
Is 2024 America’s Last Election?: More Americans are awakening to the warnings of Elon Musk. In a speech at Trump’s triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania, Musk unequivocally stated: “President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve America.” Over the past month Musk has repeatedly posted: “If Trump is not elected, this will be the last election.” These statements are not hyperbole, but grim reality.
Elon Musk, as do many naturalized legal immigrants, understands that the United States is unique among all nations past and present and that in 2024 America is sitting precariously on the edge of a precipice.

Kamala Harris Says There's 'Not a Thing' She Would Have Done Differently Than Joe Biden in the Last 4 Years
Kamala Harris Says There's 'Not a Thing' She Would Have Done Differently Than Joe Biden in the Last 4 Years: In an exchange tailor-made for a Trump campaign ad, Harris shockingly touted her central role in the catastrophic Biden administration.
So I'm not the only man who doesn't get Kamala
So I'm not the only man who doesn't get Kamala: Harris is a shallow woman who can't answer deep questions.
That's her problem, not her gender.
Will VP Harris start doing serious interviews?
Probably not because she can't be serious.
Trump has a stellar economic record, Kamala Harris has an execrable one. So why are voters mixing them up?
Trump has a stellar economic record, Kamala Harris has an execrable one. So why are voters mixing them up?: President Trump has a stellar economic record. Taxes were down. Home ownership was up. Job participation rates were up. Wages were up. People made money, and had their choice of jobs. Retirement was a thing and 401(k)s were fat, credit card spending was down, gas was cheap, the stock market was up, oil was getting drilled, exports were going out the door, groceries were affordable, health care was decent, housing was available, vacations were taken, interest rates were low, and the economy was going up. Until COVID and all its falsely premised Fauci-ordained lockdowns came around, Trump was thought of as unbeatable for re-election in 2020 based on his Reaganesque economic record that out-Reaganed Reagan.
Recent Events Force Us To See The Reality Of Today’s Democrats
Recent Events Force Us To See The Reality Of Today’s Democrats: As millions of Americans picked themselves up and surveyed the extraordinary damage wrought by Hurricane Helene, they discovered, to their horror, that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, an agency specifically set up to help American citizens and communities recover from natural disasters exactly like Helene, was almost out of money.

FEMA an Even Bigger Disaster Than the Storms Themselves -- and How it Can Be Replaced
FEMA an Even Bigger Disaster Than the Storms Themselves -- and How it Can Be Replaced: This is more of a think piece than an article, so please stay with me here. It’s based on decades of public health and disaster management work I’ve been involved with during my career.
I first got involved in this while working as an executive at Lexington County Hospital, across the river from the state Capital of Columbia in South Carolina. I’ve had similar positions at other county and city hospitals, including such disaster areas as Flint, Michigan’s city hospital. In all cases, those hospitals were responsible for public health in the counties and cities they served.
At Lexington County Hospital, we were hit by Hurricane David – not just hit, but for roughly eight hours, the eye of the storm seemed to hover right on top of our hospital, which was in itself frightening.
Kamala’s Katrina Catastrophe
Kamala’s Katrina Catastrophe: In 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina wrecking Louisiana and neighboring states, Democrats (and media allies) pounced on George W. Bush for his failures (real and fabricated) in Katrina’s aftermath.
Hurricane Helene witnessed a predictable pattern. Biden stayed at the beach; Kamala pretended to be on the phone; and Trump characteristically flew in with supplies, organized a charity drive, and convinced Elon Musk to rush in 500 Starlink internet terminals, followed by FEMA blocking Musk’s and everyone else’s efforts. Blocking Starlink is essential to concealing FEMA’s perfidy. Success will be measured by how many Republicans can be kept from voting. The House, on break until November 12, should be recalled to begin hearings.
How to abolish the US Department of Education
How to abolish the US Department of Education: If Trump is reelected, one goal is to abolish the US Department of Education (“DOE”). Why? Because it usurps the Constitution when the federal government takes over a state’s right and because its mere existence is outside of the federal government’s constitutional authority. Thus, nowhere in the Constitution does it say that an education agency can be implemented at the Federal level to control via mandates and the purse education within the states. Because the Constitution doesn’t authorize this control over education, the entire issue falls under the power of the states. Everybody knows this yet the federal government ignored this principle to create the DOE.
October 7 Opened the Floodgates to Antisemitism from the Left, Bringing Back the 'Socialism of Fools'
October 7 Opened the Floodgates to Antisemitism from the Left, Bringing Back the 'Socialism of Fools': Since the Oct. 7, 2023 pogrom by Hamas, antisemitism has marched around the world with the Palestinian flag.
The struggle for the rights of Palestinian Arabs comes at the expense of the rights of Israelis to live.
We Are Less Ready For A Global War Than America Was In 1941
We Are Less Ready For A Global War Than America Was In 1941: In 1941, America was asleep, only to be rudely awakened by Pearl Harbor. That attack galvanized the nation. Before then, FDR was doing what Democrats always do, a combination of wishful thinking, hubris, and reality denial. War does not allow that — or at least, winning a war does not.
Reality was even setting in before then. In 1939, after FDR and his cronies had meddled in the Depression economy for six years, leading to a depression within the Depression, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said that he and FDR wished they had not pumped so many dollars into the economy, for it ended up causing more problems than it cured, especially creating damaging inflation. In the end, they would have been wiser to follow the policies that Hoover started (and then abandoned under Democrat pressure) or, even better, to do what Coolidge did in 1920 when America experienced another financial crisis. Coolidge stayed the course so that the Depression of 1920 was short-lived. His campaign slogan was “Stay Cool with Coolidge.”

It’s time to abolish FEMA
It’s time to abolish FEMA: When Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast recently, horror stories of ineptitude by federal government agencies abounded. Slow response, permission paperwork, turf battles, bureaucratic regulations, and shocking incompetence were evident (see, e.g., here, here, and here), especially by the Transportation Department and by FEMA. Repeats of Lahaina and East Palestine.
Rather than add to the chorus of criticism, here is a proposed solution for FEMA’s recurring history of incompetence: abolish FEMA and remove the federal government from the picture except as the funding authority. The practical effect would be to put the money where it helps (not into another federal agency).
As I sit here on day 10 of hurricane-ravaged western North Carolina with no power or water ...
As I sit here on day 10 of hurricane-ravaged western North Carolina with no power or water ...: As I sit here on day ten of no power/water in Hurricane Helene-ravaged Western North Carolina, it occurs to me: why did none of the trillions we’ve spent on “infrastructure” do something eminently sensible, like bury all the wires?
“Burying wires costs a fortune,” you say.
Well, if a trillion bucks ain’t a fortune, I’d sure like to know what is.

An illegal alien crime wave is washing over the country
An illegal alien crime wave is washing over the country: Reports indicate that “the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is currently tracking more than 425,000 illegal immigrants convicted of various crimes,” with over 15,000 of them for sexual assault. And more than 13,000 for homicide.
But remember, NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL, right? The U.S. has a responsibility to take anybody and everybody in who wishes to come here, correct?
Truth be told, we shouldn’t prevent murderers from being their authentic selves and living the life they choose, while acting on their truths.
Homicidal maniacs have been ostracized, marginalized, and othered in this country for far too long. Where is the tolerance, where is the compassion, where is the inclusivity?!
