I had not thought about pagers much (or at all) until the Hezbollah pagers blew up recently. [Snip] Anyway, that whole thing that happened in Lebanon with the pagers and walkie-talkies should be a wake-up call to our readership and listeners that we need a Plan B. Our grid could go down, and our systems could go down, which is why I’m thinking about pagers. However, we still need to rely on the pager company. As for satellite phones, the problem is they’re very expensive. So, my parting shot is that we should not kid ourselves, we are at risk also.
David Sacks at the recent All-In Summit talked about media bias and lying about science during COVID.
"You bring up these stories about Russian influence or whatever. The real influence operation in this country is by the mainstream media. They're the ones who are spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine and so many other issues on a scale that dwarfs what any of these handful of podcasters that most people have never heard of can ever hope to accomplish," Sacks said.
DAVID SACKS, ALL-IN PODCAST: I agree with you that the mainstream media is not just biased, it's just like all propaganda all the time.
This is no joking matter
Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to dodge former president Trump and skip this year’s Al Smith Dinner — a major election year event that generations of candidates have attended — becoming the first presidential hopeful to duck out since failed presidential wannabe Walter Mondale in 1984.
While Trump has agreed to go to the 79th iteration of the Archdiocese of New York’s dinner on Oct. 17, Harris’s camp says she will instead campaing in key battleground states on the final stretch before election day, her campaign told The Post.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Kamala Harris agreed to CNN’s invitation to a second debate against President Trump on October 23. Her campaign even had the audacity to claim that the American people deserve another opportunity to see the candidates face off before they cast their ballots after rejecting multiple other debate opportunities.
However, it appears that someone forgot to inform Trump of her plans because he has no desire to face Harris again.
During his campaign rally today in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump revealed that he would reject CNN’s invitation to face off against Harris. He cited multiple factors, including that she’s losing the election, he’s already done two debates,
The Secret Service had multiple failures that led to a sniper nearly taking former President Donald Trump’s life at a campaign rally on July 13, according to a summary of an internal agency review released Friday.
According to a summary of the Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility’s initial mission assurance report, the Secret Service’s advance team, which first surveyed the rally site, failed to address or mitigate concerns it came across. The summary said the Secret Service and local law enforcement partners saw the Butler Farm Show site as a “challenge,” and that advance personnel and multiple supervisors with oversight of the security plan “recognized line of site concerns.”
Janet Jackson has claimed that Kamala Harris is not black - and that the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee has a white father.
Jackson, 58, made the shocking assertion in an interview with The Guardian, when asked on her feelings about the United States having its first female black president.
'Well, you know what they supposedly said?' the singer answered. 'She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.'
'Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.'
During an interview with Bloomberg on Friday, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) declared that “you can’t compromise on women’s right to choose. I don’t think that you can compromise on the fact that we’ve got women who are in danger of dying because doctors are afraid of the government coming in and getting between them and their patient.” And opposed a compromise on a ban on abortion after 15 or 16 weeks because “many of these cases are very complicated and often involve parents who really want to have children, but have extraordinary complications. This is an issue that should be left to women and their doctors.”
Tempers flared on CNN when political commentator Scott Jennings correctly pointed out that Democrats are the top source of the troubling wave of anti-Semitism that has erupted in America.
In recent years, the Democratic Party’s “big tent” has expanded to become a haven for Jew haters after it welcomed the progressive firebrands known as “The Squad” and their open hostility to Israel over the war on Hamas in Gaza has inspired campus and other protests that are one step away from becoming pogroms.
With Democrats and their toadies looking to smear Donald J. Trump as being hostile to Jews by distorting his remarks to the Israeli-American Council summit, the sparks flew
A Border Patrol agent became the victim of a frightening assault near Sunland Park, New Mexico, as he attempted to apprehend a migrant for crossing the border alongside several others. The migrant punched and bit the Border Patrol agent as he was being led to a transport vehicle on Thursday.
In the El Paso Sector alone, agents have seen the number of assaults rise from 46 in 2021 to more than 70 this year since October.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed to Fox News that the agent “was physically assaulted and bitten” by one of the migrants. One suspect was arrested for the assault

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle defended Vice President Kamala Harris’ failure to provide detailed answers on policy questions Friday night, citing the “threat” Ruhle claims former President Donald Trump poses to democracy.
In the few interviews Harris has taken since President Joe Biden announced the end of his reelection bid, she has avoided giving detailed answers about policy. Ruhle mocked New York Times columnist Bret Stephens when he said Harris should be questioned on foreign policy during an episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
With North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson reeling from explosive allegations about his postings on the Nude Africa website, Donald Trump found a cute surrogate to bring onstage for his rally in the state: granddaughter Carolina.
Trump introduced his granddaughter, whose parent are Eric and Lara, at an outdoor rally in the crucial battleground that is her namesake.
‘Her name is Carolina and she’s beautiful and she’s sweet and she doesn’t know how evil life is – she hasn’t experienced it yet,’ Trump said while introducing her. 'Make America Great Again,' she said as Trump lifted her up to a microphone, to cheers from the MAGA faithful.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that almost 98,000 people whose citizenship papers have not been confirmed are allowed to vote in state and local races.
The ruling was handed down on Friday, according to the Associated Press (AP). The outlet noted that the decision came “after officials uncovered a database error that, for two decades, mistakenly designated the voters as having access to the full ballot.” The report also said those individuals were already entitled to vote in federal races regardless of the court’s decision. The database error highlighted the problem with those voters’ citizenship statuses, Fox News reported on Friday.
Kamala Harris’s own stupid words continue to be the gift that keeps on giving to Team Trump.
On Wednesday, the Democratic presidential nominee appeared before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in Washington, DC where she mocked President Trump’s righteous calls for mass deportations of illegal aliens.
“They have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history. Imagine what that would look like and what that would be,” Harris exclaimed.“How’s that going to happen? Massive raids, massive detention camps?” she added.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to revoke a plea deal for 9/11 defendants likely came too late, military law experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The plea deal for alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices faced prompt backlash from families of victims and lawmakers when it was announced July 31. Days later, Austin revoked the deal in a memo, writing that the responsibility should rest with him in light of the “significance of the decision.”
Now, a judge is weighing whether Austin had the authority to reverse the deal, the New York Times reported.
“He’s reaching in too late in the game,
The Trump campaign has sought to tie Kamala Harris to the border crisis, three years of inflation, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Her own campaign has tried to link her to controlling drug prices and economic growth.
Both efforts seem to be working, according to a J.L. Partners/DailyMail.com which found high proportions of voters blamed her or credited her for a slew of policies implemented during her time as Joe Biden's vice president. The video player is currently playing an ad.
In particular, 60 percent of likely voters said was very or somewhat responsible for the record number of crossings at the southern border.
A planned strike by thousands of unionized dockworkers along the East and Gulf Coasts could reportedly upend the economy.
At issue is the International Longshoremen’s Union, which is demanding “significantly higher wages and a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container movements that are used in the loading or loading of freight at 36 U.S. ports,” according to CBS News.
The latter requirement is designed to prevent their jobs from being outsourced to machines.
If an agreement isn’t reached by Oct. 1st, the union intends to strike.
“If a strike were resolved within a few weeks, consumers probably wouldn’t notice any major shortages of retail goods,” CBS News notes.
Vice President Kamala Harris is unable to sit down for more interviews because she’s allegedly “busy,” according to her senior adviser.
Appearing on CNN this Friday, senior adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms was pressed by host Jake Tapper about Harris’ noticeable lack of interviews.
“We saw Vice President Harris at the rally today in Georgia,” Tapper began. “She’s going to be in Wisconsin tonight. Yet she’s not sitting down for regular interviews, or fielding questions from the press, certainly not to the degree that her counterpart, Donald Trump is.”
“Why? Why is she not doing more interviews to talk about her policies and answer some of the questions that voters have about her policies
A Manhattan Institute study has found that the mass deportation of unskilled criminal aliens would greatly reduce America’s national deficit.
Researcher Daniel Di Martino based this finding on how much criminal aliens currently cost the American taxpayer.
“[N]ew illegal border crossers (who tend to be young) impose an average net cost of $130,000 to U.S. taxpayers over their lifetime, because nearly 90% of them lack college education,” he explained for Fox News.
“Illegal immigrants who have already been in the U.S. for a while are older, on average, and are expected to impose a net cost of $196,000 on taxpayers,” he added.
Were these new and older criminal aliens removed,
Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted CNN’s invitation to debate Donald Trump for a second time ahead of the November election — despite the latter’s insistence that he doesn’t see a “need” to face-off again.
“The American people deserve another opportunity to see Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate before they cast their ballots,” Harris-Walz campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said Saturday.
“It would be unprecedented in modern history for there to just be one general election debate. Debates offer a unique chance for voters to see the candidates side by side and take stock of their competing visions for America.

The French presidential palace unveiled a new center-right government Saturday, more than two months after elections that produced a hung parliament and deepened political divisions as France grapples with economic and diplomatic challenges.
Conservative French Prime Minister Michel Barnier put together the government after weeks of difficult negotiations, and President Emmanuel Macron approved it. The new government was announced at the presidential palace.
A left-wing coalition secured the most seats in June-July elections but failed to win an outright majority. The 38-member Cabinet announced Saturday includes primarily ministers from Macron’s centrist alliance and the conservative Republicans party.
Two Honduran illegal migrants living in New Mexico have been charged for allegedly conspiring to kidnap other migrants to extort their families for ransom, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said Monday.
Darwin Jeovany Palma Pastrana, 30, and Eduar Isrrael Sauceda Nuñez, 25, both of Albuquerque, are accused of driving migrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border to “stash houses” across multiple southern cities including Phoenix, Arizona; El Paso, Texas; and Albuquerque, prosecutors said.
Once put in these stash houses, the migrants’ cell phones would be taken and they were told that their families would need to fork over money if they wanted to be free.
On Friday, the Georgia State Election Board passed rule 181-1-12-.12 by a 3-2 vote, as reported yesterday by The Gateway Pundit. The rule would require precincts to hand-count their physical paper ballots and reconcile them with the number of voters recorded on the electronic poll pads in that particular precinct. (Snip) This didn’t stop MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow from melting down on air, falsely claiming there’s “radical stuff going on in Georgia,” and in a Kamala-esque word salad claiming that it would “create real election problems for real.” Maddow claimed that they are going to “try to make Georgia take months to count.”
While Kamala Harris has taken a page from Biden’s basement campaign by hiding from the media, except when it is a fawning interviewer, like Oprah, the odds seemed slim she would agree to another presidential debate against Donald Trump.
The New York Post reports, however, that Harris has agreed to CNN’s invitation to a second debate on October 23.
The Post reports:
“The American people deserve another opportunity to see Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate before they cast their ballots,” Harris-Walz campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said Saturday.
“It would be unprecedented in modern history for there to just be one general election debate.
The saga of Jill Biden cosplaying as president of the United States just got a lot weirder, and this time the press is involved.
On Friday, questions arose after she was spotted sitting at the head of the table and leading a cabinet meeting at the White House. That it was the first in over a year only made the situation more perplexing. Joe Biden doesn't meet with his cabinet for that long and when he finally does, his unelected wife takes the lead? Then, later on the same day, it was revealed that her name was being embossed on honorary legislation folders as if she were equal to the president.
On my office wall hangs a poster, "Murphy's Laws of Combat," a list of items that most veterans (and many non-veterans) are familiar with. This poster has graced a wall near my desk in every office I have inhabited since I was a young Second Lieutenant.

We’ve seen a lot of dishonest statements and allegations from the left about the events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the corrupt J6 Committee dropping the most disinformation.
One of the longest-running allegations is that Donald Trump knew violence was coming but did nothing to stop it. He never requested the National Guard, the narrative goes. He didn’t care what happened.
Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) of the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight has a different view, however, and he has newly released transcripts to back it up. In a press release Friday, Loudermilk said the Pentagon brass simply ignored Trump’s requests:
Convicted serial rapist Andrew Luster is set to walk free thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris’ woke Proposition 57, which reduces several violent felonies to misdemeanors.
In 2016, then-California Attorney General Harris wrote and signed Proposition 57, which resulted in violent criminals walking out of prison only serving half of their sentence.
Thanks to Harris, Luster, who “was convicted of 86 counts of drugging and raping unconscious women in 2003," will soon be allowed to walk among American citizens.
At the time, the 60-year-old felon “infamously fled to Mexico during his rape trial – only to be tracked down by Dog the Bounty Hunter"

On Wednesday, Donald Trump visited Uniondale, New York, marking his second major campaign appearance in the state that a Republican hasn’t been competitive in since 1988.
New Yorkers lined up for hours to see him, and 60,000 tickets were requested for a venue that only holds 16,000.
During pre-rally interviews, Real America’s Voice captured a beautiful and moving moment during an interview with a rallygoer.
The man shared a story about Fred Trump, President Trump’s father. He choked back tears as the power of the memory and the impact the Trump family has had on his family’s life poured out.
In what could be a massive game changer in the 2024 presidential election, the union representing workers from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has endorsed Kamala Harris.
In a press release this week, the National Treasury Employees Union which represents workers of the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that the decision had been taken “after extensive research into the candidates’ records regarding the federal workforce, and consultation with NTEU members and chapter leaders across the country.” (X) “When it comes to treating federal employees with respect, valuing their service, and investing in their work, Kamala Harris is the clear choice,”
As a spy thriller fan, I love reading about the clever gadgets the good guys use to vanquish the bad guys, which is why I've been fascinated by the story of Hezbollah's deadly exploding pagers. How did Israel pull this off? Was it really Israel who did this? This attack is even more exacting than the exploding bed at the Iranian "safe" house.
Now we're learning more details of the attacks, and they're as impressive as they are diabolical.
Three thousand beepers exploded this week, killing a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists and some innocents. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon lost an eye in the attack.

Dr. Jay Varma, New York City's former senior health advisor, admitted he ignored the COVID-19 policies he insisted New Yorkers follow during the pandemic.
A New York City Council member wants Varma investigated after he said he attended sex parties and a dance party at the height of the outbreak, even as he told New Yorkers to stay away from others to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Varma's admission came after a heavily edited video surfaced.
While Varma wanted New Yorkers to be strict about social distancing, he's now admitting that he wasn't. The mea culpa came after he was caught on hidden video posted by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.
Author and constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley sounded the alarm on Hillary Clinton's "chilling" suggestion that Americans who share disinformation should be arrested. Turley addressed the former secretary of state's controversial remarks on free speech during "America's Newsroom," warning that the global effort to stifle free speech has reached U.S. shores. JONATHAN TURLEY: I talk about her in my new book, ‘The Indispensable Right,' and how she's been one of the outstanding voices in the anti-free speech movement. Her views on free speech are quite chilling. What's interesting is that for years, the left has been trying to get people to embrace censorship, but it's hard
It’s a shame what’s going on in Springfield, Ohio. [Snip] They’re eating dogs. They’re eating cats.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability held a hearing Thursday, titled "A Legacy of Incompetence," on the consequences of the Biden-Harris administration's policy failures.As Rebecca covered, ahead of the hearing, the committee's chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) released a damning memorandum detailing how record-high inflation, the worst border crisis in American history, and current chaos on the global stage can all be traced back to disastrous decisions made by the Biden-Harris administration.
Comer kicked off the four-hour House hearing with a scathing opening statement lambasting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris
Andrew Breitbart was well known in the grassroots Tea Party movement for his ability to turn Alinsky psychological weapons against those who deployed them. In fact, the gift that Breitbart carried was not Andrew’s snarky counter approach toward the Obama teams tactics, but rather his ability to understand the purpose of their approach. This naturally gifted insight always made Andrew a threat.
Well before the Obama Marxists fully activated their weaponized government, Breitbart saw the Alinsky “methods” for what they were, the same tactics deployed by professional abusers. He knew we were headed into an era where “We the People” were in an abusive relationship with government.
The Georgia State Election Board has voted to require its counties to hand-count ballots in the fast-approaching 2024 presidential election in November.
Officials voted three to two on Friday, according to NBC News:
The move, which will require poll workers to open up ballot boxes and count the number of ballots by hand at the end of the night, was approved by three board members who’ve been praised by former President Donald Trump and was opposed by Democrats in the state, as well as by the Republican secretary of state and attorney general.
Board Member Janelle King waved off concerns about the rule because she believes,

Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) introduced the legislation, called the Enhanced Presidential Security Act of 2024, on July 23 after the July 13 shooting at Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally.
The successful 405-0 vote comes after Ryan Wesley Routh’s apparent plan to kill Trump while he was at his Palm Beach, Florida, golf course was foiled by Secret Service agents on Sunday.

The National Republican Congressional Committee reported in a Friday filing with the Federal Election Commission that Elon Musk increased his political contributions in August with his largest-known donation to date, Politico reported.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) reported a contribution of $289,100 from Musk, aimed at bolstering the Republican efforts to maintain their majority in the House, according to Politico. This donation was funneled through a joint fundraising committee associated with Republican California Rep. Ken Calvert, earmarked primarily for the NRCC’s convention and headquarters activities.
Historically, Musk has donated to both Democratic and Republican initiatives, though never in such substantial amounts,
CNN commentator and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Friday on CNN’s “The Source” that former President Donald Trump was “on edge” after two assassination attempts.
On Wednesday, while speaking at a rally in New York, Trump said, “I thought this was a wise guy coming up. This guy, I’m getting ready. You know, I’ve got a little bit of a yip problem here. Right? That was amazing. I was all ready to start duking it out.”

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ husband, Doug Emhoff, claimed during an interview this week that it was unfair for people to criticize his wife’s performance over the last three and a half years because she was not the president.
Emhoff made the remarks during a softball ABC News interview Friday morning on “Good Morning America,” which came just days after the network’s debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump that was extremely biased against the Republican nominee.
Co-anchor Michael Strahan asked Emhoff if he thought it was fair that his wife was being criticized for the numerous failings

Moreover, maintaining... economic ties grants legitimacy to the regime, signaling that the European Union is willing to overlook Iran's role in supporting aggression against Ukraine.
To stanch this, the EU urgently needs to stop its economic dealings with Iran.
Along with cutting economic ties, the EU would also do well to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization and close all Iranian embassies in Europe. The IRGC is the primary force behind Iran's military support for Russia. Isolating it would be a crucial step in weakening Tehran's capacity to destabilize the entire Middle East.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are running neck and neck in typically blue Virginia, according to a poll.
The University of Washington’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies poll, published Friday, shows the candidates are tied two in a two-way race among registered voters, while Harris has razor-thin edge with likely voters. Each garners 45 percent of the 850 registered voter respondents’ support in a head-to-head matchup. Three percent prefer someone else, and four percent are undecided. Two percent would not vote, and one percent refused to answer.
Harris leads Trump narrowly, 48 percent to 46 percent, among the 756 likely voters sampled.
Former President Donald Trump shared a damning video clip of Tucker Carlson talking about the man arrested for what authorities believe was a second assassination attempt on the former president while he was golfing in Florida and the suspect’s dubious ties to the media and other agencies in DC.

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and how he is trying to blame Iran for the latest attempt on Trump’s life, insisting that the “warmonger” is lying. That’s when he turned his attention to Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspected gunman spotted by a Secret Service agent.
Guess Who's Buying Firearms Now?
replies
Kamala Harris and/or her handlers may have more reason to brag about gun ownership. Harris clearly wants to outrun her rhetoric in 2019, when she called for "mandatory buybacks" of so-called assault weapons -- which amounts to flat-out confiscation. Back then, Harris called for "executive action," including all legally owned long-barrel firearms that liberals consider too scary: Since then, Harris has tried to emphasize the fact that she herself owns a gun and that she doesn't oppose the 2nd Amendment. Not only does she own a gun, Harris told Oprah Winfrey in her live interview this week, she'd be happy to plug anyone who broke into her home:
During the 1980 Presidential debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, Reagan asked a question that would define his campaign and capture the struggles of everyday Americans under Carter’s failed leadership.
Reagan asked, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
After four disastrous years under the failed Biden-Harris administration, that simple question is as powerful as ever.
In a new ad, the Trump campaign channels Reagan and asks Americans who are paying more at the pump, the grocery store, the pharmacy, and, for many, have lost the opportunity to achieve an important part of the American Dream, owning a home, the very same question.
