As a grassroots consultant who played a key role in campaigns across the years, including my firm’s work knocking on millions of doors and being an essential player in Dr. Ben Carson’s 2016 presidential campaign, I have seen my share of election cycles. We have canvassed pivotal Senate and House races in vital swing states, but I have never seen early voting numbers like we are seeing for Donald Trump right now.

Despite relentless media attacks and indictments, Trump is gaining unprecedented momentum, especially in swing states. He has never looked better, and it is not due to fleeting moments. A series of key events have fueled this surge, setting the stage for a strong performance at the polls.

Today, we are seeing the real Donald Trump — the one his supporters have always known.

The assassination attempt against Trump was a turning point. He did not retreat — he stood firm. This resonated with voters tired of weakness in Washington. Trump embodied the “fight, fight, fight” spirit that many Americans crave, especially in contrast to the Biden-Harris administration, which has often struggled to project competence. The debate that followed showcased this stark contrast. Trump remained calm and resolute, highlighting his presidency’s strength, while Biden’s leadership appeared to falter. For many Americans, this was a reminder that Trump is a fighter — a trait they respect in these uncertain times.

That show of strength wasn’t lost on swing-state voters. I’ve been on the ground across these states, and you can feel the shift. People are noticing, especially those who feel abandoned by the current administration. Early voting numbers reflect this renewed energy, and it’s clear that voters are rallying around a leader who will not back down.

Then there was Kamala Harris’ disastrous handling of Hurricane Helene. While she attended fundraisers and podcasts, Trump was doing what leaders do: He took action and showed empathy. He offered help to victims, donating rooms at his hotels for first responders, while Kamala appeared disconnected. It was not just a failure of optics; it was a failure of leadership. And voters noticed.

Trump’s presence and decisiveness struck a chord with voters who expect action in times of crisis. Meanwhile, Kamala’s absence left a void that Trump filled with ease. Soon after, Elon Musk’s America PAC and Team Trump RNC volunteers started breaking through in swing states. The groundwork had already been laid, but this moment gave it the spark needed to boost early voting in key areas.

Today, we are seeing the real Donald Trump — the one his supporters have always known. He is not just a fighter but someone who genuinely cares about the American people. Whether it is helping hurricane victims or standing up for families affected by illegal immigration, Trump has shown an empathy that Kamala Harris seems to lack. He is also showcasing a more relatable side, appearing in long-form podcasts and having fun with things like McDonald’s visits. It is humanizing and authentic, and voters are responding.

That same authenticity is breaking through, especially with black and Latino men in cities like Milwaukee and Philadelphia. These voters, who feel left behind by Kamala’s empty promises, remember being better off under Trump just four years ago. They are looking for solutions to realities such as inflation, rising business costs, and job security, but all Kamala offers them is talk about abortion. While that may resonate with some, it neglects to address the economic pain these communities are facing.

These voters are seeking leadership that understands their struggles, and Kamala Harris simply is not delivering. Conversely, Trump is showing up, offering action and solutions, and it’s clearly resonating in early voting numbers across the country.

This has led to what we are witnessing today: the collapse of Kamala Harris and of the tired narrative that Trump is some kind of villain. Voters are seeing through the media’s constant barrage. The more they see of the real Trump, the more they like him. Combine that with the impressive ground game that’s been built, and you have a formula for success. Early voting numbers are already reflecting this momentum, with GOP ballots overperforming and Democratic enthusiasm lagging.

It isn’t just about enthusiasm. Ground games matter, and the Trump campaign has built one that is laser-focused on key swing states. Personally, I have been in every major battleground this month, and you can feel the energy. People are talking about Trump in ways that they were not just a few months ago. Campaign efforts are building the foundation for a massive Election Day turnout. If early voting trends continue, a wave of Republican votes may overwhelm the Democrats.

As someone who has been in the trenches of political campaigns for years, I can tell you this: Donald Trump has never looked better. The movement on the ground is real, the early voting numbers are proving it, and if this momentum continues, we are looking at a GOP victory that will shock the establishment once again.

Kamala Harris has been speaking at churches over the past few weeks, including congregations in Atlanta and Philadelphia. While President Trump is expected to gain strong support from white evangelicals, Harris appears to be aiming for similar backing among black Christians. However, she represents a party whose top policy priorities — such as abortion and Pride Month celebrations — conflict with biblical teachings.

In politics, I believe values should always trump skin color. My faith shapes my views and my vote, even though I understand that no party or candidate can fully align with my beliefs. Ideally, a Christian should seek a candidate who shares, embodies, and legislates biblical values. This is the kind of leader with the character, understanding, and temperament to promote policies that support civil order and human flourishing. While some argue that morality can’t be legislated, few would dispute the need for laws against theft, perjury, or murder.

If using the Bible to dismantle racial discrimination was righteous in 1964, why is it hateful to use it to defend the unborn and uphold the sex binary in 2024?

Every law reflects someone’s belief system. Politicians with strong convictions on family, education, and public safety issues will often champion these values, even when others shy away. The principled politician uses the bully pulpit to promote a positive cultural vision, resisting the fierce political headwinds that protect the status quo.

Sometimes, no candidate running shares your values. When that happens, I turn to the next tier of candidates — those who respect, accept, and defend my values. For example, a politician doesn’t need to be a church deacon to see the hypocrisy of a city prohibiting a congregation from gathering outdoors during COVID-19 while allowing a large political march a month before a presidential election. Similarly, a candidate who sends their child to a private school can still advocate school choice policies that benefit working-class families.

On the other hand, a politician who sends their kids to an expensive private school but opposes programs that would extend this option to poor and working-class families represents the lowest tier of candidates. These politicians despise, condemn, and even criminalize my values. My primary identities are Christian, husband, and father — in that order. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for a politician whose policies are hostile to any of these. Colorado baker Jack Phillips spent over a decade fighting frivolous lawsuits because progressives view Christians who don’t conform to LGBT ideology as bigots.

Yes, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are on the ballot, but faithful Christians should see the 2024 election as less about a choice between two candidates and more about a clash of worldviews.

The vice president’s decision to make abortion the centerpiece of her campaign is a reflection of the modern left’s priorities. So was Joe Biden’s decision to appoint a man who “identifies” as a woman — Dr. “Rachel” Levine, born Richard — as the most visible figure in the nation’s public health system. Given the fact Harris bragged about providing surgery for transgender inmates while she was California’s attorney general, voters can expect even more radicalism if she becomes president.

It’s no surprise that the administration labels the social, chemical, and surgical “transition” of minors as “gender-affirming care” and criticizes conservative states attempting to ban such procedures on minors.

Democrats have elevated pride — a traditional deadly sin — to one of their three core virtues, alongside abortion and pagan Earth worship. This may sound simplistic to some, but progressives today are more vocal about promoting social norms tied to sexual orientation and gender identity than about advancing policies on labor or infrastructure.

This is why elected officials in federal, state, and local government all bow before the Pride flag. The mayor of New York City said drag queens are advancing a love of literacy in the nation’s largest school district. Wisconsin’s governor bragged on social media about signing a bill that would keep boys out of girls’ sports. In fact, it is far more difficult to find a congressional Democrat who affirms there are only two sexes than it is to find one who rejects the belief men can have babies.

The evidence is crystal clear: These aren’t your daddy’s Democrats.

On the other side is Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement. Like all slogans, people read meaning into those words in ways that sometimes sound absurd, including the assumption that the former president wants to return the country to the political and social norms of the Jim Crow South.

The core of the MAGA movement puts the interests of American citizens above those of foreign nations and international organizations. It advocates strong borders, lower taxes, domestic energy production, conservative judicial appointments, pro-life policies, a strong economy, law and order, school choice, and the natural family.

Nothing in this agenda conflicts with a Christian’s commitment to God. Loving our neighbors doesn’t mean encouraging them to reject their God-given bodies for a “gender identity” that leads to cross-sex hormones and genital mutilation.

Some Christians refuse to vote for Donald Trump due to his speech, demeanor, and conduct, arguing that character is an essential quality in a leader. However, a soft-spoken figure like Dr. Ben Carson can support both pro-manners and pro-MAGA policies, while today’s Democratic candidates at all levels of government align with pro-LGBT and pro-abortion agendas. Rejecting God’s creational work in Genesis isn’t a bug in the left’s political project — it’s a defining feature.

That said, an honest look at both parties should caution believers against equating the Republican Party with biblical values. I understand the concern. The GOP’s 2024 platform softened its language on key social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. Trump has criticized pro-life laws in Florida and other states as too strict, although he consistently maintains that abortion laws should be decided at the state level.

Many Christians view a vote for the Harris-Walz ticket as a vote for civility, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Campaign surrogates use race and gender to persuade voters, from black men to white Christians, into supporting politicians who oppose their values. Americans — regardless of color — should not fall for this trap. If using the Bible to dismantle racial discrimination was righteous in 1964, why is it hateful to use it to defend the unborn and uphold the sex binary in 2024?

A Chinese student legally in the U.S. will be criminally charged for illegally casting a vote in the election, and the ballot will reportedly be included in the official count because it cannot be voided.

‘Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution.’

The 19-year-old allegedly voted on Sunday in Ann Arbor, according to a statement from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office.

The student, who was not identified, used his identification from the University of Michigan to vote and then later contacted the local clerk’s office to ask if he could get his ballot back, according to Benson’s office.

The Detroit News reported that the voting system in Michigan does not allow a ballot to be traced to an individual voter, so officials will not be able to void the ballot, according to sources familiar with Michigan election laws.

“We’re grateful for the swift action of the clerk in this case, who took the appropriate steps and referred the case to law enforcement,” read the statement from Benson’s office and the county prosecutor. “Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution.”

In 2018, the voters approved a measure that would allow votes to be cast in Michigan up to Election Day and also for proof of residency to be confirmed through driver’s license, a utility bill, a state identification card, or university records.

A statement from the secretary of state and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office cautioned that noncitizens voting in elections was “extremely isolated and rare.”

The statement added that voting records in Michigan were public.

“Any noncitizen who attempts to vote fraudulently in Michigan will be exposing themselves to great risk and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” the statement read.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said his company was looking into claims that the Harris-Walz presidential campaign was trying to manipulate community notes on X in order to push more favorable narratives.

Musk reposted the accusations on X, the platform he owns, from an account with screenshots from a report in the Federalist documenting the alleged efforts from organizers of the Harris campaign on other platforms, including Discord and Reach.

The report showed how paid Harris staffers on the Harris Discord were writing their own community notes and calling on volunteers to vote them positively in order to spread their propaganda.

Community notes were added to Twitter after Musk purchased the platform in order to allow crowdsourcing to determine the truthfulness or falsity of viral claims. Sometimes the community votes up contradictory information and data to avoid misinformation from gaining traction without pushback.

The report however, found that X had filtered out bad actors enough that one Harris-Walz Discord user lamented that they were blocked from effectively pushing their propaganda as much as they desired:

It’s because the [community notes] system is looking for notes that get people who normally disagree with each other to agree the note is worthwhile. So a [community note] needs people who normally believe misinformation to cross over and agree that, in fact, this case is misinformation.

The report noted that the efforts were a “gross violation” of the Terms of Service on X prohibiting the artificial amplification of information.

“We are investigating this,” Musk said Wednesday.

The left is half balking at, half rejoicing in comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s jabs at Puerto Rico during Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. On one hand, they’re disgusted by the so-called xenophobia and racism. On the other hand, they’re thrilled that the insult that Puerto Rico is “a floating island of garbage” will surely drive Latinos to the polls to vote for Kamala Harris.

Actually, no it won’t.

According to Armin Mizani, Puerto Rican mayor of Keller, Texas, the Hinchcliffe controversy won’t impact the election as much as the left hopes it will.

Mayor Mizani joined Glenn Beck to explain why “millions of Latinos” will still be voting for Donald Trump.

— (@)

“I’ll tell you what’s on Puerto Ricans’ minds — it’s the fact that, on any given day, you can’t account for the fact of whether or not your power is going to be on,” Mayor Mizani told Glenn.

“Frankly, what in my opinion is garbage is the fact that we’ve got a government in Puerto Rico that should be attending to its people — great people. But you saw it with the hurricane that happened back in 2017. It’s a misallocation of funds,” he explained, adding that “a lot of Puerto Ricans … are awakening” to the reality of their corrupt government.

As for the Puerto Rican voters in the United States who know what’s going on in their home country, Mizani knows what’s really motivating them — and it’s not some crude joke.

In a tweet Mizani posted on October 28, he made it clear what actually motivates Latinos: “faith, family, and economic opportunity.”

“Under the Biden and Harris administration, Americans have seen record inflation, an open southern border, increased crime, the weakening of the family structure, and the taking away of God from our daily lives. In contrast, under President Trump, Americans saw secured borders, economic prosperity, a respect for people of faith, and a respect for American values,” he wrote. “This is why I, along with millions of Latinos, will help re-elect President Trump back into the White House.”

On Nov. 5, the American experiment in republican government may well come to an end. Over the past two decades, we have been living through a slow-motion communist revolution. Acts of political warfare have become commonplace. The most devastating has been the corruption of our election system.

Having vilified Donald Trump more than any man in American history, the American communists and their allies in the Democratic Party (and the communist world abroad) may well be able to steal the 2024 election. One thing needs to be made clear: If this happens, they will have created an ungovernable country.

We may well be in for the kind of murder, mayhem, and sabotage that the American left has so brazenly embraced.

I have two kinds of colleagues: those who believe it is going to be a wave election and therefore a blowout for President Trump; and those who believe the election can be stolen, given the massive cyber vulnerability of our electronic voting system and the refusal of blue-state governors and secretaries of state to build a transparent, same-day voting system. At this stage of the game, I believe it will be a blowout win for President Trump. But I realize that it may well be stolen for reasons I describe in my American Mind essay “The Diminishing Likelihood of a Fair Election.”

The RealClearPolitics average of
polls has Donald Trump either up or tied in the seven swing states. Very few if any undecided voters remain at this point. In these polls, Trump has historically “underperformed,” as the pollsters say. This means that a two-point lead by President Trump is likely a four- or five-point lead. Perhaps more telling are the right track-wrong track polls that ask Americans whether or not the country is headed in the right direction. As of October 29, only 27% of the American people believe the country is on the right track.

This is historically low. Never has an incumbent vice president won an election for president with these numbers. That 27% is obviously the Democratic base: hard-core progressives, communists, abortionists, and transgenderists. Only they could believe the country is on the right track. Simple math would suggest that even much of the traditional Democratic Party base believes the country is not going in ways that are conducive to the happiness and welfare of the American people.

Yes, but we are told that Donald Trump is a racist, sexist
beast virtually indistinguishable from Adolf Hitler. How can this man win?

This caricature, however effective it may have been in 2016 and 2020, has lost its effectiveness in 2024. The first Trump administration was not an exercise in the exploitation of blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities. It ushered in economic good times for these groups, who enjoyed greater prosperity and freedom than at any other time in the history of the United States. Their
lived experience demonstrated to them that President Trump saw them not as a problem but rather as an integral part of American society and economic life. Charges of racism, ridiculous on their face, have grown meaningless to everyday Americans.

Deep state on defense

Then there is the matter of Kamala Harris.

Harris was an obscure vice president, previously unpopular even among the Democratic Party base. Her public performances are nothing short of bizarre, ranging from frenetic to what can only be described as addled, possibly by drugs or alcohol.

She is not, in short, running a credible campaign. Even within left-wing popular culture, she comes off as little more than a joke. Does anyone believe that if President Biden had dropped out of the race last year and there had been a competitive primary season, Kamala Harris would today be the nominee of the Democratic Party? She would likely have done little better than she did in 2020. The country is quite alive to this fact.

So the question “What if Kamala wins?” must be answered in light of the fact that she
should not win by any conventional understanding of polls and public opinion.

But
will Harris win? A substantial number of serious people believe that the 2024 election can indeed be stolen. Very little has changed in the seven swing states that decided the 2020 election. If anything remains obvious, it is that there are substantial numbers of deep-state operatives within the Biden administration who know that if President Trump is elected, they will most certainly face investigation — and for those who have committed crimes, prosecution.

Violence is not an option. But a political disintegration of red America from blue America is not impossible.

The accusation that a second Trump administration would more broadly investigate journalists and purveyors of popular broadcast media is of course absurd. To the contrary, Trump would enjoy their collective misery as they watched him Make America Great Again.

But there are people within the intelligence community and the Department of Justice who crossed all manner of lines in their treatment of President Trump and his allies such as Steve Bannon (just released from prison). Likewise, the Secret Service’s failures to protect Trump this summer constitute an astonishing stain upon this republic.

So a large number of powerful people within our government have a vested interest in seeing Trump lose. For all of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s warnings of Russian and Chinese influence operations in the election, one doubts that a finger will be lifted to stop either country, or their surrogates within the drug cartels and dark money groups, from working to alter the results of the election.

A looming legitimacy crisis

Clearly our American oligarchs on Wall Street, in Hollywood, and in Silicon Valley have decided that Kamala Harris is not their cup of tea. Witness the fact that the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and USA Today did not endorse Kamala Harris. But they may not have a say if nation-state actors or dark money groups genuinely want Trump defeated. Our system is not designed to stop determined adversaries of a free and fair election.

So if Kamala Harris does win, it will, as of today, be the result of a stolen election. Under these circumstances, America will become an ungovernable country. Large groups of Americans will believe their vote no longer counts. We have the experience this summer of Venezuela, where it was clear that the opposition party won — so said the Biden administration — only to have the Maduro regime keep hold of power by affirming the fraudulent results and gutting it out publicly against domestic and world opinion. One imagines the Harris campaign learned a lesson from that.

For four years, the Biden-Harris administration has attempted to bolster its shaky legitimacy through the manipulation of economic data and
crime statistics. Despite ludicrous claims to the contrary, everyday Americans are not better off — as that 27% “right track” figure clearly shows.

Regardless of who wins, Americans must prepare themselves and their families for what could be great societal dislocation.

Imagine another administration suffering not merely from a lack of but from a crisis in legitimacy. Americans in large numbers will believe they have had their country stolen from them and may choose no longer to participate in the body politic. Given the lack of transparency within our election system, this type of attitude by Americans would be likely to persist even if Harris did win a completely fair election.

This is a worst-case scenario, but certainly possible under the circumstances. Americans can be a very rough lot of people when they want to be. You can rig one election before their eyes, but can you rig two? And can you rig the second one so openly and brazenly and expect that the American people will not push back? How they push back is another matter, but it would serve the interest of America’s enemies to face a nation even more deeply divided than ours already is. Violence is not an option. But a political disintegration of red America from blue America is not impossible.

Elon Musk to the rescue?

I have three key recommendations, most of which rely on Elon Musk, who has the resources and platform to make them a reality.

First, establish a whistleblower program that offers a multimillion-dollar reward for concrete evidence of nation-state-level efforts to tamper with the election, whether through counterfeit mail-in ballots, fraudulent Election Day ballots, overseas ballots, or cyberattacks on our electronic voting system. While electronic voting companies may have good intentions, dismissing the possibility of cyber manipulation is naïve. Any computer-based system carries some potential for exploitation. A large-scale whistleblower program could help uncover the truth if such interference is occurring.

Second, Musk could launch a “Decision Desk 2024” on X, both in Spaces and on the “America” video platform. We shouldn’t leave the announcement of election results solely to the legacy broadcast media, as if they hold some divine authority. Mainstream outlets — from Fox News to MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS — have become propaganda arms of the American deep state. By doing so, they’ve disqualified themselves from an objective role.

Elon Musk can build a team of respected journalists and analysts to perform their own calculations and judgments about who won the election. He and his platform have a greater reach both nationally and internationally than the “mainstream” media. Imagine Elon Musk with Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the like examining the results. Not only would they be better trusted, but the democratization of the results by all the users of X would serve the American people better as well.

Finally, regardless of who wins, Americans must prepare themselves and their families for what could be great societal dislocation. We cannot ignore the potential, in the days and weeks after the election, for violence fueled by American communists, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, pro-Palestinian jihadists, and the 100,000 Chinese Special Forces who may have come over our open borders over the last three and a half years. We may well be in for the kind of murder, mayhem, and sabotage that the American left has so brazenly embraced.

We may also see China, Iran, and Russia take advantage of this situation by making moves on Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine during America’s interruption of leadership and civil unrest. In other words, Americans must be prepared.

It is my sincere hope that Kamala Harris will concede on election night after she has lost. I pray for the country if she lets the counting continue for days and weeks on end and nefarious behavior ensues. That may yet be in the cards, but the country does not deserve it.

Let us pray to God instead that the decency of the American people prevails and that there can be a peaceful transfer of power after a sufficiently fair election.

The death of a 64-year-old woman is under criminal investigation as Swiss prosecutors determine whether or not the death was an intentional homicide despite being first thought to be assisted suicide.

The American mother of two, who has not been named, was initially thought to have died inside a capsule called the Sarco in Merishausen, Switzerland, in late September.

Now, a Swiss prosecutor is alleging the woman may have been strangled in an “intentional homicide.” A forensic doctor also testified that the woman had, among other things, severe neck injuries.

The Sarco device is a suicide pod meant to allow users to push a button to inject nitrogen gas into the chamber, causing death by suffocation.

The company behind the pod is a firm called the Last Resort. The company commented on the matter, saying, “On Monday 23 September, at approximately 16.01 CEST, a 64-year old woman from the mid-west in the USA died using the Sarco device.”

Co-president of the organization Florian Willet called the woman’s death “peaceful, fast and dignified.” He added that it occurred under “a canopy of trees, at a private forest retreat.”

According to LBC, Willet was the only person physically present when the woman died, with Sarco inventor Philip Nitschke reportedly following the process via video call. However, he allegedly did not see the entire process due to technical difficulties.

Willet has been in custody for weeks since the woman’s death, originally because the pod is illegal. At the time, Swiss Interior Minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider told the Swiss parliament that the use of the Sarco was not legal.

‘She’s still alive, Philip.’

The Last Resort has said its program is legal, however, and does not require specific approval because the user presses the button. The company also states that the user must prove sound mental capacity before the act is carried out.

The woman who allegedly took her own life with the machine reportedly did so because of a bone marrow infection.

However, when Willet spoke to Nitschke over the video call, he reportedly told the inventor, “She’s still alive, Philip.”

The comment reportedly came six and a half minutes after the user pressed the button in the machine.

The court also allegedly heard that Willet was continuously leaning over the Sarco to look inside and was confused by an alarm that may have been a heart-rate monitor.

An unspecified number of people were arrested following the woman’s death, likely from the Last Resort company. However, all have since been released except for Willet.

The Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Homeland Security has squandered taxpayer funds to erect billboards in Texas offering legal assistance to detained illegal immigrants.

A DHS source tipped off Fox News Digital about the billboards last week.

One of the advertisements read, “Your brother in immigration custody has rights.”

“We’re here to help,” it adds.

The ads were created by the DHS’ Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, an independent office that “assists individuals with complaints about the potential violation of immigration detention standards or other misconduct by DHS (or contract) personnel.” The office also oversees immigration detention facilities.

‘Congress should NOT be funding propaganda to undermine our own laws.’

The DHS’ decision to put up the billboards sparked outrage within the department’s agencies, according to Fox News Digital.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers told the news outlet they are furious.

Fox News Digital journalist Bill Melugin stated, “Multiple DHS contacts I’ve talked to, including in ICE & Border Patrol, are outraged about the billboards, telling me their agencies are already working with limited funding/resources, and DHS is spending money on billboards that they feel work against them.”

An ICE source called the ads “more than insulting.”

A Border Patrol agent told Melugin, “This is so wrong.”

When Fox News Digital reached out for comment, DHS responded with “a history lesson about the ombudsman office” but did not answer any questions.

“DHS and its employees provide the highest standard of care for individuals who are detained in its custody,” the DHS stated.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) called the DHS’ outreach campaign “insane.”

“The news that DHS is using taxpayer money to launch billboards advocating ‘rights’ for individuals in ‘immigration custody’ should be alarming because it’s a preview of the legal arguments that radical progressive democrats will use to argue against deportation of the millions dumped in America by Biden-Harris-Mayorkas,” Roy stated. “Congress should NOT be funding propaganda to undermine our own laws. That’s insane.”

“Americans should not PAY for free legal advice to foreign criminals,” Roy declared.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) said, “Whether it’s FEMA splurging hundreds of millions of dollars on migrant housing or OIDO running ads like this, our government is hemorrhaging money on the wrong priorities.”

“It’s time for Congress to pull the plug on programs like these,” he added.

Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee won a lawsuit Wednesday against Bucks County, Pennsylvania, extending early voting through November 1.

The lawsuit extending the voting deadline was filed this morning after voters expressed complaints about being turned away from voting applications due to the original deadline on Tuesday.

Due to the state’s electoral significance, this legal victory may be particularly consequential with less than a week until the election.

“This is against the law,” the Trump campaign said in a press release Wednesday. “This is voter suppression from the left. We will fight for every legal vote in Pennsylvania. Go vote, and stay in line!”

“Thank you to the court for making the right decision and for finding that Bucks County violated the Pennsylvania election code and providing the requested relief,” James Blair, political director for the Trump campaign and the RNC, said in a post on X following the verdict.

Of the seven battleground states, Pennsylvania is the largest, boasting 19 electoral votes. Due to the state’s electoral significance, this legal victory may be particularly consequential with less than a week until the election.

Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania responded to the allegations prior to the verdict on Wednesday, criticizing Trump’s rhetoric and past concerns over election integrity.

“Republican and Democratic clerks of elections are doing their jobs here in Pennsylvania – and together with law enforcement, they’re making sure only eligible voters are able to register and vote,” Shapiro said in a post on X. “Let’s remember, in 2020, Donald Trump attacked our elections over and over. … He’s now trying to use the same playbook to stoke chaos, but hear me on this: we will again have a free and fair, safe and secure election — and the will of the people will be respected.”

“We will keep fighting,” Michael Whatley, chairman of the RNC, said in a post on X announcing the legal victory. “Go vote! Stay in line!”

The New York Times on Wednesday issued a rather jaw-dropping X post after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Virginia can purge noncitizens from its voter rolls.

The Times’ post noted that the high court was “siding with Republicans who said it was to prevent noncitizens from voting.”

‘NYT simps for “only a little bit of illegal voting.”‘

Then came the post’s last sentence: “Studies show that noncitizens voting is very rare.”

It would appear those final eight words raised the ire — and eyebrows — of more than a few observers.

You know, on the level of that infamous video of a burning building amid a nighttime riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the summer of 2020 as CNN’s video caption read, “Fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting.”

Or when ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz earlier this month downplayed the crisis of Venezuelan gangs in Colorado by insisting to Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance that gang takeovers in Aurora have been “limited to a handful of apartment complexes … a handful of problems.”

So according to the Times, is it OK to keep noncitizens on voting rolls … because they rarely vote anyway?

How are commenters reacting?

As you might expect, many commenters took exception to the “paper of record.” Here are a few examples:

“Rare doesn’t make it legal,” one commenter stated.”‘Studies show.’ Glad you can at least acknowledge that the number is not zero,” another user noted. “Just an FYI, these people in this case self-identified as non-citizens. They cannot legally vote anyway. So removing them shouldn’t be an issue.””It doesn’t matter what your studies show,” another commenter wrote. “There is no reason for non-citizens to be on any voting roll.””How about just remove any chance of it at all?” another user asked. “NYT simps for ‘only a little bit of illegal voting.'””Rare? Since when is rare acceptable? Have you not noticed what’s going on at the Washington Post?” another commenter inquired. “Your 15 minutes of bubble liberal politics have come to an end.””This is why you are trash,” another user declared.”Studies show that a particular crime is rare. Accordingly, laws against it should not be enacted nor enforced,” another commenter wondered incredulously. “Is that how this works now?”

The Democrat Party claims to be the party of the people. Why then is one of Tim Walz’s goals to eliminate the Electoral College?

Earlier this month at a fundraiser hosted by the equally degenerate Gavin Newsom, Walz made the claim that “the Electoral College needs to go.”

If Democrats succeed in this evil endeavor, “11 blue states will decide the president,” and “all the rest of the country – the 39 other states, tens of millions of people – will literally have no say in the election of the president,” Mark Levin explains.

Campaigning will take place “mostly in the cities,” meaning the people who live in more rural areas or work in industries such as agriculture, natural resources, and the like “will have no representation whatsoever.”

“The big metropolitan cities will decide who’s president, which would be an utter and complete disaster, but the Democrat Party wants monopoly,” says Levin, adding that in addition to eliminating the Electoral College, the party also wants to “eliminate the filibuster” so that the party can rapidly pass laws “that will be impossible to undo.”

Then “they’ll say, ‘We don’t need to amend the Constitution; we’re going to pass two statutes – the District of Columbia gets two senators and Puerto Rico gets two senators.”’

That’s “four more Democrats,” says Levin. “The Senate will never overcome that; Republicans will never be in the majority again.”

A Harris-Walz regime “will change the voting system forever.”

A left-wing “voter mobilization” group admitted sending misleading texts to voters that told them they had already voted when they had not.

Charlotte Clymer, a transgender activist and spokesperson for AllVote, told CNN that the texts were sent out to “several thousand registered voters” in Pennsylvania.

Officials in other states have flagged for ‘scam’ texts with misinformation in North Carolina and Arizona as well.

The texts told voters they had already voted in the November election, but the group said that they intended the texts to say that records showed they had voted in the previous election in 2022. The message left out the “in 2022” part and confused voters, the group said.

Clymer said the “unfortunate copy-editing error” was made by “staff working long hours.”

However, the group has also been accused of voting-text shenanigans in Michigan as well. The Wisconsin Election Commission said the group sent out texts with links that “at first appeared to be the voter’s municipal website” but were incorrect. The commission also criticized AllVote for appearing to portray itself as an official source of voting information.

“Voters should be very careful when dealing with this type of unsolicited outreach, as the information being put forth is often inaccurate and misleading,” said the commission’s administrator, Meagan Wolfe.

Clymer told CNN the texts had been sent to about 15,000 voters in Wisconsin but denied that group members had represented themselves as election officials.

“We take every step to ensure we don’t send voters incorrect information,” Clymer said.

The group did not respond to requests from CNN about who had funded its efforts. Officials in other states have flagged for “scam” texts with misinformation in North Carolina and Arizona as well.

Clymer has been an outspoken activist for the transgender movement and made headlines when the activist referred to God with female pronouns and claimed God made the activist a transgender person.

Two convicted pedophiles died roughly within an hour of each other in an upstate New York prison last week. One of the inmates who was found dead was convicted of drugging, raping, and murdering a 3-year-old girl.

According to the state’s Department of Corrections, 34-year-old Robert Fisher was pronounced dead at approximately 1:50 a.m. Oct. 22 at the Elmira Correctional Facility in Chemung County.

‘He drugged her, went into her bedroom and raped her.’

WRGB-TV reported that 59-year-old William Brand was pronounced dead at approximately 2:52 a.m. Oct. 22.

The County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet announced the cause of death for either inmate.

Both were admitted into the prison within the last month. Records indicate that Brand was admitted Oct. 10; Fisher was admitted Sept. 23.

Fisher admitted to drugging, raping, and murdering 3-year-old Josefina Cunningham and was convicted of his crimes in July 2023. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in September.

Rensselaer County Assistant District Attorney Antonia Edwards said during Fisher’s sentencing, “The heinous acts of the defendant took Josie away from this world and this community. This community also deserves to know what horrible and vile acts this defendant committed and the absolute horror Josie met when she came home from day care on July 6, 2023, into July 7, 2023.”

Fisher used prescription drugs from Josefina’s mother — Laquesha Cunningham — to drug the 3-year-old girl before raping her.

“The defendant took the medication prescribed to Laquesha, crushed it up, and put it in a cup for Josie to drink. He drugged her, went into her bedroom and raped her,” Edwards said. “He did all of this while she was alive and awake; we only know that now because of the autopsy results.”

Edwards added, “Seeing the pictures of Josie’s face after what the defendant did to her was mortifying. Those images will be ingrained into the minds forever for those who saw them.”

Brand was convicted of sexually abusing a child under the age of 11.

The New York State Police said in a statement that Brand was arrested in April 2024 and charged with predatory sexual assault against a child, second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, and first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child. Authorities noted that Brand had inappropriate sexual contact multiple times with a child.

Brand was serving a 10-year prison sentence.

Let’s face it. Men don’t like Kamala Harris. Well, that is men who haven’t totally rejected their masculinity and allowed the woke mind virus to rid them of all sensibility.

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump has an iron grip on the male vote, and Kamala Harris knows it.

“Let’s just say tempers are heightened in the Kamala Harris campaign right now because their appeal to men has been backfiring,” says Liz Wheeler. “Trump by the way is outpacing Kamala in getting men’s votes so much more than … any Republican candidate versus a Democrat candidate in recent history.”

The campaign has thrown everything it can think of at Donald Trump in the final weeks leading up to the election. It’s recycled the Trump is Hitler narrative. It’s tried to “troll out allegations of sexual misconduct,” which were debunked immediately. It’s run defamatory pieces against him. It’s rallied its media allies to condemn him as a fascist. It’s churned out ridiculous campaign ads, like the “I’m a man” ad that was so outrageous, many thought it was satire. It’s even “trotted out Michelle Obama to make an appeal to men to vote for Kamala Harris.”

While some of these tactics have worked in the past, “none of them are sticking” this time, says Liz.

People are waking up to the reality that the Democrat Party runs on “egregious lies” pinned against its political opponent.

Further, people are finally seeing the truth about our mainstream media.

“They are not journalists; they are not reporting on what’s happening; they are not holding government accountable. They are actual propaganda arms of the Democrat Party who hate us,” says Liz.

But “there is an antidote to this problem,” she adds. To find out what it is, watch the clip above.

The Republican Party of New Mexico is accusing state officials of political machinations in an attempt to shut down a Trump rally planned in Albuquerque.

A spokesperson for the Trump campaign told KRQE-TV that they had an agreement with Live Nation for supporters to park at the lot at Isleta Amphitheater and then be shuttled to the rally location at CSI Aviation. On Tuesday, the state claimed that the lot was not allowed to be used for events outside of the amphitheater.

‘For the lack of a better word, I’ll just say bologna. That’s not true and I don’t believe it for a minute.’

Stephanie Garcia Richard, New Mexico Commissioner of Public Lands, blamed Live Nation for the conflict.

“Their contract is for the amphitheater. So, either they didn’t read the lease they had with us or they wanted to make me kind of the fall guy for this situation because this is not of my creation,” said Garcia Richard about Live Nation.

Garcia Richard is a Democrat.

“If Live Nation were to have an event at the amphitheater themselves and maybe schedule the rally at the amphitheater then the parking lot could be used,” she explained.

New Mexico Republicans are accusing officials of trying to shut down the rally out of political motivation.

“This just doesn’t pass the smell test,” said Jim Townsend, a Republican state representative. “This is clearly a political process.”

He pointed out that the lot had been used previously for an event that was held elsewhere, but Garcia Richard countered that the issue was that Live Nation had not negotiated the parking prior to the event.

“If I would have authorized it for one party and not another, for one candidate and not another, I could see that being politically motivated. This is just something, in general, we do not do,” she explained.

Townsend isn’t buying it.

“For the lack of a better word, I’ll just say bologna. That’s not true and I don’t believe it for a minute,” he said.

“This is outrageous. This is sheer, naked, bitter partisanship. It should enrage you,” he added in a statement on social media that was reposted by the GOP state party.

City officials were also accused of trying to keep the rally out of the Albuquerque Convention Center out of political motivations. The Trump campaign said it is scrambling to secure enough parking for the Thursday rally.

Here’s a news report about the furor on the KRQE YouTube channel.

There’s no denying that there is no presidential candidate that perfectly encapsulates Christianity through policy positions.

However, there is one candidate whose plans for America would move the country farther in the direction of Christianity and one candidate who would take us all in the opposite direction — to what might be the point of no return.

“It is so clear to me that we are not battling Democrat-Republican; we are truly battling light and dark, life and death, good and evil,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” tells Pastor Josh McPherson of Grace City Church.

McPherson couldn’t agree more and believes that Christians who are planning to hang back from the voting booths are doing their neighbors, and themselves, a great disservice.

“I think Christians have been misled and wrongly disciplined in relationship to their responsibility as citizens of heaven, to be engaged here as citizens of earth,” McPherson says.

“The kingdom of God does not hover, Glenn, a mile above the earth. It lands in our sex lives, in our marriages, in our dysfunctional family systems, in our relationships, in our entertainment, in our food, and yes, in our politics,” he adds.

McPherson explains that there’s “demonic gaslighting that says Christian’s shouldn’t be political.” However, he has “a fundamental conviction that we cannot be biblical unless we are political.”

And it goes all the way back to the Bible.

“The entire storyline of the Bible is a story of God against governments. Rogue empire governments, tyrannical, abusive, heavy-handed, oppressive government systems like Egypt, like Persia, like Rome. And the story is those because when you remove God from a society, what replaces it typically is that which is biggest and most powerful, namely government,” McPherson explains.

“It’s the church’s job to function as the conscience of a society, and when the church goes silent, a culture loses its conscience and a government loses its mind, and everyone suffers,” he adds.

Vice President Kamala Harris doubled down on her support for mass amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States.

However, Harris’ position on immigration issues appears to defy public sentiment. A poll released in September revealed that roughly 54% of Americans, including 25% of Democrats, “strongly” or “somewhat” support mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

Another poll released in May indicated that just 36% of likely U.S. voters would favor a candidate who promoted amnesty over a candidate who promoted mass deportation.

In her closing argument to voters on Tuesday evening, Harris stated, “We must acknowledge we are a nation of immigrants. And I will work with Congress to pass immigration reform, including an earned path to citizenship.”

‘Reform our broken immigration system.’

Just last week, Harris told Telemundo host Julio Vaqueiro, “We need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes a pathway to citizenship, putting more resources at the border in terms of security, honoring America’s history as a country of immigrants, not vilifying people who are fleeing harm, but instead, creating an orderly system for them to actually be able to make their case.”

During the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute conference in September, Harris stated that she would work with the CHC to “reform our broken immigration system and protect our DREAMers.”

Harris again pledged to “create an earned pathway to citizenship.”

An October report from the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee explains how the Biden-Harris administration has already provided “quiet amnesty” to illegal aliens through the immigration court backlog.

“Instead of actually adjudicating illegal aliens’ cases based on the merits of aliens’ claims for relief — such as whether an alien has a valid and successful asylum claim — immigration judges under the Biden-Harris Administration have been tasked with rubberstamping case dismissals, case closures, and case terminations, all of which allow illegal aliens to remain in the United States without immigration consequences,” the report read.

“This sort of quiet amnesty has become a staple of the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration courts,” it added.

The administration’s “Keeping Families Together” program could also extend mass amnesty to at least 550,000 illegal aliens in the U.S. The program, which is being challenged in court, would allow spouses and stepchildren of American citizens to request parole in place while they seek an adjustment of status.

Harris has pledged to sign the failed so-called bipartisan Senate border bill into law.

Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, discussed immigration during a Tuesday appearance on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.”

Walz said, “We had a bill that added 1,500 more agents. It added more equipment, but it also added more money to DOJ [Department of Justice] to expedite these asylum claims. And then you can secure the border, which we need to do and also adhere to American values by giving pathways to citizenship.”

“We can’t forsake this idea that there are pathways to citizenship that aren’t — take too long and you can get people who are here, want to be here, contributing to this country. Give them that pathway that’s legal, and I think that’s what the vice president has said. She said she’d sign the bill immediately,” Walz continued.

Harris’ campaign website also notes her vow to establish such pathways but does not elaborate on how she plans to accomplish this goal.

However, during a Fox News interview earlier this month, Harris touted the administration’s U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 as an immigration solution.

The bill, which never made it out of committee, would have allowed “undocumented individuals to apply for temporary legal status, with the ability to apply for green cards after five years if they pass criminal and national security background checks and pay their taxes.”

“Dreamers, TPS holders, and immigrant farmworkers who meet specific requirements are eligible for green cards immediately under the legislation,” a White House statement read. “After three years, all green card holders who pass additional background checks and demonstrate knowledge of English and U.S. civics can apply to become citizens.”

While it would have required applicants to be present in the U.S. on or before January 1, 2021, it would have allowed the administration’s secretary of Homeland Security to “waive the presence requirement for those deported on or after January 20, 2017” if they were previously in the U.S. for three years.

The New York Post reported that the bill would allow the return of 1.5 million foreign nationals deported under former President Donald Trump’s administration.

Legendary American astronaut Buzz Aldrin announced his endorsement in the 2024 presidential election — and leftists on social media are not taking it well.

“I believe we are best served by voting for @realDonaldTrump,” Aldrin wrote in a lengthy statement on X on Wednesday morning. “I wholeheartedly endorse him for President of the United States.”

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became a household name in July 1969 when he and fellow Apollo 11 crew member Neil Armstrong became the first men to walk on the moon. So it comes as no surprise that Aldrin endorsed Trump mainly because of the former president’s interest in space defense and exploration.

“Over time, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane. But under the first Trump Administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated as a policy of high importance again,” Aldrin said in his statement.

To support his claim, Aldrin noted that Trump founded Space Force and reinstituted the National Space Council. Key Trump allies in the private sector such as Elon Musk have likewise made “advancements” in space exploration technology, Aldrin added.

Aldrin met Trump in the Oval Office in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. While there, he lamented the recent reduction in funding for space programs.

‘I did respect you, but you don’t respect any of the women in your life.’

In addition to discussing his concerns about space, Aldrin, 94, expressed concerns about the direction America is currently heading. He then indicated that Trump has the temperament and the “sober analysis” needed to withstand the “pressure” of the job “with firmness and follow-through.”

“In times of uncertainty real leaders are most needed – to guide and inspire a people, to push through the noise, recognize what really matters, and accomplish missions critical to all citizens.”

Aldrin did not make any reference to a political party or to Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris. Nevertheless, leftists on X railed against the beloved nonagenarian, claiming to have lost respect for him and his judgment.

“You just lost a fan. Donald Trump is a convicted felon traitor you back [sic],” wrote one disgruntled user who lists his manifold academic bona fides in his X bio.

“Such an unforced error. You know what it means to see the bigger picture, shame,” another added.

Others claimed Aldrin was doing a disservice to women by voting for Trump.

“”I have lost all respect I had for you. You should talk to the women in your life more,” said one.

“Wow. I did respect you, but you don’t respect any of the women in your life. And with your own words, you state that the space program is more important to you than any women, their rights, their autonomy, or their ability to make decisions about their own body. Shameful,” wrote another.

Some of those comments have dozens or even hundreds of likes.

With less than a week before Election Day, Trump currently holds a narrow national lead of just .4 and a lead in six of the seven battleground states, according to the RealClearPolling average.

Dominion voting machines that allow access for people with disabilities have a “programming” issue that will affect nationwide voters, according to the Michigan secretary of state.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said that the machines would allow people to vote straight party ticket as usual, but if they wanted to vote for different parties in separate elections, the issue with the machines will make it a little more inconvenient.

‘Voting clerks will have to inform voters with disabilities to make sure they have selected every section on the ballot.’

The Dominion ICX Voter Assist Terminal helps people with disabilities pick out who they’re voting for, prints out their ballot, and then the ballot is run through the tabulator. For straight-party ballots, the process will not be different than normal ballots. But others will have to go through extra steps.

“Yeah, this is a nationwide issue with Dominion voter access terminals in, in the counties that use them in the voter access terminals,” Benson explained. “Of course, not all the machines, just the ones that are accessible have an issue. With the straight-party voting and a programming issue, that’s again affected the machines nationwide.”

She went on to say that officials were upset to find out about this issue during the testing period but that voting clerks will have to inform voters with disabilities to make sure they have selected every section on the ballot.

The programming issue cannot be fixed in time for Election Day, Benson said, and only affects certain VAT machines in some counties. But the issue should be corrected for future elections.

Benson also said they are seeking “accountability” on why the issue was not discovered until early voting began.

Dominion has been at the center of the debate over the official results of the 2020 election. Critics accused the company of changing votes in electronic voting machines to help elect President Joe Biden, but the company has denied the claims and has been able to settle defamation lawsuits against media companies that supported the accusations.

Benson, a Democrat, made headlines when she warned county officials against trying to refuse to certify the results of the election.

A portion of the media briefing with Benson can be viewed on the YouTube video from WLNS-TV.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has bent the truth to his benefit on numerous occasions. While it appears that in many cases, Walz has done so out of habit, his attempt to bend the truth on “CBS Mornings” this week was clearly out of desperation.

Host Tony Dokoupil suggested at the outset of his Wednesday interview with Walz that Harris’ “closing campaign message is all about unity” — a message possibly compromised by President Joe Biden’s dehumanizing suggestion Tuesday that Americans who support President Donald Trump are “garbage.”

“I want to get your reaction to the president’s comments, but I want to put it into a larger context of your recent comment comparing the Sunday Trump rally to a Nazi rally,” said Dokoupil. “I would also throw in there Obama’s bitter clingers, ‘gun and religion’ comment from a while back, the ‘deplorable’ line from Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and the way that Democrats are seen by some voters as disrespecting them.”

‘They cling to guns or religion.’

Dokoupil was referring to:

Biden’s Oct. 29, 2024, suggestion to Voto Latino that “the only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”
Walz’s Oct. 27, 2024, suggestion regarding Trump’s Madison Square Garden campaign event Sunday that “there’s a direct parallel to a big [Nazi] rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden.”
Clinton’s Sept. 9, 2016, suggestions at an expensive New York City event that “you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables” and that “some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully, they are not America.”
Barack Obama’s April 6, 2008, suggestion that working-class voters in Pennsylvania and the Midwest who were ambivalent about supporting him were “bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment.”

Dokoupil said, “I have to ask: Does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign?”

Kamala Harris’ running mate fired back, “No, certainly not.”

‘I think Vice — uh, President Biden — was very clear.’

“I’ve represented rural areas. I’ve represented Democrats, Republicans, independents. Same thing with the vice president,” said the Democratic governor, suggesting that Harris — who has demonized pro-life Americans, previously argued that traditional Catholics should be disqualified from judicial appointments, and told Christians at a recent campaign event that they were “at the wrong rally” — represented all Americans.

“Look, you saw a presidential speech last night at the Ellipse that is the best of America,” said Walz. “One that’s talking about unifying us. One that’s talking about bringing folks to the table.”

Walz quickly jettisoned the unity theme to accuse Trump of being divisive, to insinuate that the Republican president was somehow responsible for Biden’s dehumanizing language, and to once again bend the truth, this time about Biden’s “garbage” statement.

“I think that the frustration we’ve seen since January 6, the frustration with Donald Trump’s rhetoric of division, it does fire passions,” continued Walz. “I think Vice — uh, President Biden — was very clear that he’s speaking about the rhetoric we heard, and so it doesn’t undermine it. People are hungry to come back together.”

Some revisionists on the left have similarly suggested that Biden’s “garbage” remark was not directed at millions of Trump supporters, but instead at Trump’s rhetoric.

Politico, for instance, falsely reported that “Biden, in a Zoom call with the organization Vote Latino, said ‘the only garbage’ was the ‘hatred’ of Trump supporters who said such things about American citizens.”

Despite such rewrites of what happened, it is clear from the footage of Biden’s remarks that he was unmistakably trashing Trump supporters.

Americans might ultimately unite, just not in the way Walz is hoping.

A recent MinnPost-Embold Research poll indicated that even in his home state, the race has tightened up, showing Harris leading Trump by only three points.

According to the latest AtlasIntel poll, Trump is up two points nationally. Averaging recent polls, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight polling outfit alternatively has Trump trailing by 1.4 points.
