Why Trump is losing ground on immigration
to Harris
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/5/2024 2:30:23 PM
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is losing his edge on immigration to Vice President Kamala Harris following her recent shift toward the middle on the issue and a drop in illegal immigration at the southern border. In a matter of weeks, Democratic nominee Harris has cut into the former president’s lead on border security and immigration, according to recent polls conducted nationwide that surveyed voters on which candidate was better on the issue. Polling conducted since Harris replaced President Joe Biden a month ago revealed that the candidate whom Republicans have decried as an ineffective “border czar” has the backing of a growing share of voters

The Democrats' razor thin control of the Senate is not looking very solid at this point. The latest good news for Senate Republicans comes in the form of an AARP poll out of Montana which shows Republican candidate Tim Sheehy leading Democrat Jon Tester by 8 points.
Vulnerable Democratic Sen. Jon Tester trails his GOP opponent by 8 points in a new independent poll of Montana’s Senate race — a result that could very well tip control of the Senate to Republicans.
Republican Tim Sheehy took 49 percent of the vote, compared to Tester’s 41 percent,
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that people should judge for themselves if Russian President Vladimir Putin was teasing, trolling, or being entirely serious when he said he would prefer Kamala Harris as U.S. president over Donald Trump.
Putin expressed a preference for Harris while he was attending the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Thursday.
“I told you our favorite, if you can call it that, was the current President Mr. Biden. He was removed from the race, but he recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. So we will do the same. We will support her,” Putin said.
Anti-Netanyahu Protests Fizzle in Israel

Massive protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the wake of the news of the murder of six hostages by Hamas faded by the end of the week in Israel — though weekly protests will continue on a smaller scale.
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets last Sunday and Monday, as Israelis absorbed the news of the horrific mass murder. Some hostage families and left-wing activists blamed Netanyahu for the failure to reach a hostage deal with Hamas — even though Netanyahu had agreed to terms suggested by the Biden administration.

One of the things that is just so infuriating is when you look at the way Democrats and Republicans are treated in the media, in particular, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris versus former President Donald Trump.
They are constantly telling lies and repeating hoaxes about Trump, yet the media not only doesn't call them out on it, they repeat it and spread the hoaxes without question. Then they say Trump lies. It's a constant propaganda war machine to indoctrinate the public. The good thing is now, with the rise
Harvard Professor of Law Emeritus Alan Dershowitz has proven to be a wealth of (often but not always) solid commentary and analysis in recent years, as he is one of the few on the left side of the political aisle who’s been willing to point out that much of the endless Democrat lawfare against Donald Trump has been a banana republic style of justice and runs counter to our Constitution.
He’s also been a lifelong Democrat, which has been head-scratching to me. I sometimes wish I could ask, “How can you be a lifelong Democrat—did you hear what you yourself just said?”
Kamala Harris has been trying desperately to leverage her background as a prosecutor and former California Attorney General to position herself as a "law and order" candidate. But that narrative took a significant hit on Friday when the nation's oldest and largest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, delivered a resounding rejection of her record by endorsing Donald Trump for president.
"Public safety and border security will be important issues in the last months of this campaign," Patrick Yoes, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said in a statement. "Our members carefully considered the positions of the candidates on the issues and there was no doubt—zero doubt
Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Vice President Kamala Harris should not underestimate her opponent, former President Donald Trump, in a debate setting.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “Kamala Harris is running a very different campaign than she did when she ran in the 2020. She’s moving to the center on a number of issues and walked back previously held positions like calling for banning fracking. She’s gearing up to do this must-watch debate with former President Trump on Tuesday. Do you think it’s a strategic mistake that she hasn’t explained some of these positions she’s changed
Statistician Nate Silver on Friday released his latest 2024 presidential election forecast, which shows former President Donald Trump at 61.5 percent and Vice President Kamala Harris at 38.3 percent.
The rise in Trump’s chances of 15.4 percent is a flip from Silver’s forecast on August 23, when Harris’s chances of winning were at 53.5 percent and Trump’s at 46.1 percent. Those numbers came right after the Democratic National Convention, when the vice president was still enjoying a mainstream media honeymoon.
A few weeks have passed since then, and Harris has not held a single press conference, opting for one
Mason Schermerhorn last texted his mom from the restroom before he was discovered as one of the four killed in a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, a chaplain and youth minister who tried to help find the teen said.
Ronald Clark had stopped at a store on his way home Wednesday morning, when he learned of the shooting from his wife via phone call.
He rushed to the scene, and quickly offered his services to law enforcement at the command post. He was instructed to assist crews on the investigative side.
About an hour later, he said he started seeing the students, who were "hurt."

Complaint Reveals 4 replies
Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign hired a marketing firm run by Judge Juan Merchan’s adult daughter, according to an ethics complaint that accuses the New York state supreme court justice of having a conflict of interest that should disqualify him from presiding over the hush-money case against former president Donald Trump.
The complaint, filed on Friday by Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.), reveals that the Harris campaign paid $468 to Loren Merchan’s political consulting firm Authentic Campaigns on July 30, nine days after Harris replaced President Joe Biden atop the Democratic ticket. “This indicates that one of the very first things that Harris did upon taking over

BALTIMORE -- One student is hospitalized and another is in police custody after a shooting Friday inside Joppatowne High School.
According to Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler, a 16-year-old student allegedly shot a 15-year-old during a fight inside a men's bathroom just after 12:30 p.m.
That victim was flown by medical helicopter to the hospital, where he is in serious condition. The alleged teenage gunman ran from the school, but was captured a short time later.
"Our hearts are breaking for the victim and the victim's family," said Harford County Schools Superintendent Dr. Sean Bulson. "This should not be happening in schools."
"Sadly we stand here today to discuss another school shooting,
An American citizen has died during a protest in the West Bank, Fox News has confirmed.
The State Department says it is aware of "the tragic death" of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, although did not provide any more details.
The agency did not say how she died. However, Reuters, citing the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, reported that a U.S. citizen taking part in a protest against settlement expansion in the West Bank died of her wounds on Friday after being shot in the head by Israeli troops. The incident occurred during a regular protest march by activists in Beita,

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a lifelong Republican, will vote for Kamala Harris for president, his daughter Liz Cheney said Friday. (snip) In a campaign ad for Liz Cheney as she sought a fourth term as Wyoming’s lone congressperson, Dick Cheney called Trump a “coward” for trying to “steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.”
The ad did little good for his daughter in a deep-red state that once held the Cheney family dear but is now thoroughly in Trump’s corner. By a 2-to-1 margin, Liz Cheney lost her Republican primary to Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman.
An Alabama man entered a Florida hospital for a procedure to remove his spleen. On Aug. 21, medical records provided to USA Today by Zarzaur Law show that "Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky performed a hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy procedure on William “Bill” Bryan, 70, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama."
Bryan's widow claims that Shaknovsky mistakenly removed his liver instead of his spleen.
“Dr. Shaknovsky removed Mr. Bryan’s liver and, in so doing, transected the major vasculature supplying the liver, causing immediate and catastrophic blood loss resulting in death,” the statement from the law firm said. “The surgeon proceeded with labeling the removed liver specimen as a 'spleen,' and it wasn’t until following the death
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg wrote this week that he’d sooner see the world rid of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than the terror group Hamas.
In a recent column decrying the horrors of Israel’s war in Gaza – which he stated are being unleashed by both sides – Steinberg mentioned his belief that Netanyahu is a more destructive force than the terror group that killed or kidnapped nearly 1500 people in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
"If I had a choice between getting rid of Hamas and getting rid of Netanyahu, I’d choose Netanyahu," Steinberg said,
The possibility of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. becoming Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary if former President Trump wins has rankled Democrats and the public health community as he gains influence within the former president’s transition team.
Speculation about Kennedy’s future role has grown after Nicole Shanahan, who was Kennedy’s running mate before he suspended his campaign last month, said recently that he would do “an incredible job” at HHS should Trump win in November.
Just when you thought you were safe from headlines about Fani Willis, she somehow manages to make news. This time, Fani is in the news not for something she did but because she inserted herself into her daughter’s legal issues.
This week, we’ve learned that police arrested Fani’s daughter Kinaya Willis on Aug. 24 for driving with a suspended license in Tyrone, Ga., a suburban area south of Atlanta. Atlanta News First has the details:
Around 7 p.m. on Aug. 24, a Tyrone police officer saw a Nissan Altima with “a female driver holding a cellphone to her ear” on Highway 74
Hunter, it seems, just can’t get a break. First, he gets convicted of all three counts on an illegal gun purchase. That doesn’t sound like much but it carries a potential 25-year sentence.
Bad luck, that conviction.
This week, his trial for tax evasion was to begin. At the last minute, he trotted out a scheme where he pleads guilty without admitting guilt. (It’s a lawyer thing.)
The prosecutors were having none of it, and the judge was skeptical.
So then, Hunter just entered a straight guilty plea on all nine counts. They carry a potential 17-year sentence.
If he were sentenced to the maximum on both the gun and the tax charges,

Revealed Why They Don't Want Him Answering Questions 15 replies
I wrote earlier about Joe Biden's cluelessness when it comes to what's going on with Gaza, Hamas, and making deals with terrorists.
Biden keeps leaning on Israel, and that keeps emboldening Hamas. Hamas is now demanding even more to make a deal and even threatening the hostages. That's what bending over and being weak like Biden gets you.
But I guess the Harris-Walz team didn't want Biden to have a corner on stupid. They doubled down on the bad takes with what Tim Walz said to WCMU on Thursday. WCMU Public Radio covers Central and Northern Michigan. No wonder there's a reluctance to let him talk. It was awful.
The Kamala Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams appeared on CNN this week and made excuses for why they are not talking about Kamala’s record from the last few years.
This gives away their whole game. Democrats and the Harris people want voters to forget the fact that Harris has been part of the Biden administration and is directly responsible for what has transpired over the last three and a half years.
That’s why they keep pushing the whole ‘new way forward’ nonsense. It’s a feeble attempt to erase recent history so that Harris isn’t held accountable by voters.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley on Friday said that Judge Juan Merchan’s decision to delay former President Donald Trump’s sentencing could be an effort to avoid boosting his campaign.
Merchan had scheduled Trump’s sentencing for Sept. 18, but on Friday, he postponed the date to Nov. 26 “if necessary,” according to his order. Turley, on “America Reports,” claimed that Merchan’s rulings against Trump during his case were advantageous to his reelection bid, suggesting that maintaining the September sentencing date would have further intensified support for the former president.
Donald J. Trump is back in the news regarding intelligence. The former president who’s again the GOP’s nominee for the office announced that he won’t be receiving classified intelligence briefings as our Nov. 5 election approaches. Although major party nominees for the White House have received such briefings from the Intelligence Community in recent decades, to prepare them for the national security demands of the Oval Office if elected, Trump is refusing such briefings on the grounds that he doesn’t want to be accused of leaking any classified information
Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign raised more than $300 million in August, more than twice that raised by former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
Harris has been raising significant funds since President Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he would not seek the Democrat nomination.
Two sources familiar with the Harris fundraising totals said that there are plans to hold several fundraisers for Harris’s campaign in September, including possible events in major hubs such as New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Franscisco.
NBC News reported:
After the convention, Harris campaign officials said they had raised more than $540 million since Harris took the reins of the campaign.
Infectious disease experts are upset that four years on from the coronavirus pandemic, members of the public are no longer listening to their “recommendations” regarding vaccines and other supposed prevention methods against COVID-19.
According to a report from the leftist The Guardian newspaper, infectious disease experts are complaining that COVID-19 is still a massive threat to the public and people need to continue taking booster vaccines at every opportunity.
The report states:
Infectious disease experts say many people are not taking the latest Covid-19 wave in the US seriously enough and are not getting vaccinated
