Former President Donald Trump is again taking the lead in the 2024 race for the White House. According to a new Polymarket poll, Trump holds a two-percent advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris (50 to 48 percent). The same survey also found that Trump’s chances of winning crucial swing states are much higher than Harris’s. In Georgia and North Carolina, Trump has a 61 percent chance of winning the state compared to Harris’ 39 percent. In Arizona, the former president has a 55 percent chance of winning compared to the 45 percent chance for Harris. In Nevada, Trump’s chances are 53 percent, Harris’s chances are 47 percent, and in Pennsylvania,

Would someone please explain to these professional writers the difference between percentage and percentage point. 50 to 48 is not a two percent advantage. It’s a two percentage point advantage; which in this case is the bigger difference.

Reuters is just reporting Harris 'widening' her lead over Trump due to rising support from women and Hispanics. The gas lighting is going strong.

All this polling is a bunch of phoney baloney propaganda. Trump has been in the lead since 2016 and never lost it. All this foolishness about them being even close is just more political pablum.

NPR Exploits Arlington Cemetery for Politics 9 replies

Taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio shouldn't be a starting place for aggressively biased coverage against either Democrats or Republicans. But you can ask Clarence Thomas how the machine works. On Aug. 27, NPR veterans affairs reporter Quil Lawrence lit into former President Donald Trump for bringing cameras to a section of Arlington National Cemetery with some families of soldiers killed during President Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The entire manufactured controversy is perverse. It's obvious NPR is exploiting the cemetery for a political goal, and it then spread to the rest of the national media. Trump is showing support for grieving Gold Star families,

Vice President Kamala Harris was pilloried by critics over her Thursday performance in her first sit-down interview since becoming the Democratic nominee. Top Republicans and conservative influencers — many of whom have been goading Harris into finally giving such an interview — mercilessly mocked the presidential candidate on everything from optics to some of the answers she offered up when pressed on key issues by CNN’s Dana Bash. Harris, 59, had used that interview in part to deliver an olive branch to Republicans, asserting that she intends to appoint a member of the GOP to a cabinet post if she prevails in the Nov. 5 election,

In an effort to provide as much assistance as possible, CNN heavily edited the Kamala Harris interview as agreed between their producers and the campaign of Kamala Harris (Brian Fallon). The narrative engineering within the interview, which includes soft guidance by Dana Bash, is transparent and openly visible. The backlash against CNN is also very visible in all social media examples where the interview is being highlighted. To present the post-broadcast coverage, CNN has uploaded the interview in three segments. You will find them below. Kamala Harris’ nasal voice has always been painful;

With just 70 days until the 2024 November election, left-wing media will stop at nothing to smear former President Donald Trump in his quest for the White House. Trump paid his respects to the 13 fallen American soldiers who lost their lives during the August 26, 2021, botched Afghanistan withdrawal thanks to the Biden Administration. Just one day later, NPR published a hit piece claiming that two people from Trump‘s team got into an “altercation” with a cemetery worker who stopped the group from taking photographs in section 60 of the Arlington cemetery.

Grasping for relevance, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is in the midst of a bit of a temper tantrum this week with the legislature - threatening to convene a special session if they don't pass his proposal to further regulate California's oil and gas industry. Industry analysts say that the proposal, which would force refineries to "maintain a minimum fuel reserve to avoid supply shortages," would lead to increased prices for drivers in California, Arizona, and Nevada. This asinine proposal is from Newsom's California Energy Commission (CEC), which was formed in 2023 after a Newsom called a special session in 2022 demanding that legislators "do something"

So much for “no means no.” That’s the message from the state Court of Appeals, which ruled last week that New Yorkers don’t need an excuse to cast an absentee ballot by mail when they’re otherwise able to vote in person — even though the voters themselves have directly rejected such a measure. Mail-in voting is hardly a revolutionary idea: Oregon since 2000 has conducted elections exclusively by mail, and several other states have followed, including Vermont. But it involves an important balancing act, as state officials seek to maximize election participation while minimizing — to varying levels of success — fraud.

Kamala Harris has yet to give a press conference or sit down with any journalist to discuss the construct of a campaign around her. The media has largely tried to cover for this lack of openness, but even hardcore narrative engineers are starting to become twitchy at the extreme handling of Hawk Tuah Harris. To deflect attention from the absence of questioning, HT Harris primary handler Brian Fallon, has arranged a scripted interview with CNN. Together with her sketchy running mate, Tim Walz, Mrs Harris will be questioned by Dana Bash in a taped interview which will be edited, smoothed and broadcast on CNN fake news tomorrow at 9pm ET.
Proof-of-citizenship voting bill push

A conservative-backed push for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting could complicate efforts to avert a government shutdown next month. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30. But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package.

Utah has filed suit in the Supreme Court against the federal government over the millions of acres that the feds hold and make inaccessible to the people of Utah. The state attorney general and governor, along with the state legislature, hope that the Supreme Court will affirm that the federal government has no constitutional right to hold “unappropriated” lands indefinitely. In this case, “unappropriated” land refers to property that the federal government is holding on to but not using for anything, such as national parks, timber harvesting, mining, grazing, or any other purpose.

The highest responsibility of our president is to ensure the defense of our nation — but for four years, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have neglected this crucial role. Rising threats from China, Iran and Russia are a reminder that keeping America safe requires more than just reacting to attacks and provocations; it demands an active strategy to deter, dismantle, and destroy our enemies’ ability to do America harm. Concerningly, commitment to this principle has been lacking most clearly at our border with Mexico. By allowing transnational drug cartels to operate with impunity — indeed,

Two days ago, Nate Silver, the media’s favorite polling “expert” who on election day in 2016 gave Hillary Clinton a 71% chance of winning, said polls had Kamala Harris 5 points ahead of Donald Trump and that “our best guess is that her lead will increase further, especially given that almost none of the polling was done after her strong acceptance speech on Thursday.” Of course, Silver was hardly alone. The leftist media was fully expecting a big bounce in Harris’ poll numbers. So, where is Kamala’s big convention bounce? The Morning Consult found Harris’ lead over Trump unchanged since last Thursday.

Did you catch Kamala Harris's first "interview" as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you'd expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses. CNN anchor Dana Bash actually asked some decent questions, but what really struck me about the interview was that Kamala Harris, more often than not, avoided answering most of the questions, and Bash didn't seem to be concerned with getting an actual answer. You knew things were going to be bad when Harris really struggled to give a coherent answer to the cliché question about what she would do on "on day one."

POTTERVILLE, Mich. — Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News on Thursday that if he is elected, his administration would not only protect access to in-vitro fertilization but would also have either the government or insurance companies cover the cost of the expensive service for American women who need it. "We are going to be, under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump said before adding, "We're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay." Asked to clarify whether the government would pay for IVF services or whether insurance companies would do so, Trump reiterated that one option

Savannah, Ga.—Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will sit down Thursday for their first major television interview of their presidential campaign as the duo travels in southeast Georgia on a bus tour. The interview with CNN’s Dana Bash will give Harris a chance to quell criticism that she has eschewed uncontrolled environments, while also giving her a fresh platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of an upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump set for Sept. 10. But it also carries risk as her team tries to build on momentum from the ticket shakeup following Joe Biden’s exit
