JD Vance won the debate with Tim Walz,
hands down
Posted By: Moritz55, 10/2/2024 8:47:50 AM
As the candidates for vice president took the stage in New York on Tuesday night, the state of North Carolina was under water, Israel was under siege, the American supply chain was under threat of disruption by an East Coast port strike and the American people were under the impression that there was a leadership void in the White House. In other words, the conditions existed for Ohio Senator JD Vance to stick it to the incumbent party, represented by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. And Vance delivered in spades. From the opening bell, Walz was nervous, overmatched and out of his

Forgotten America in Crisis

The devastation Hurricane Helene has wrought on much of Appalachia—and Western North Carolina in particular—presents an unfortunate occasion to examine what the U.S. military is doing to secure the American way of life.
Unfortunately, the military’s dismal response so far shows that they are unwilling to provide for the American people at a time of dire need.
Days after Hurricane Helene, the Biden-Harris Administration finally activated up to 1,000 soldiers to support the delivery of food, water, and medicine to isolated communities. But these efforts are too little, too late.
If Donald Trump wins this election, the postmortems on Kamala Harris’ campaign should put her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate at the top of her list of mistakes.
Much of America got to know Walz for the first time during Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate. Unlike his appearance at the Democratic National Convention, the Walz we saw on the debate stage didn’t have his words written for him in a teleprompter. And the unfiltered version underscored a very obvious fact about the governor: He is patently fake. For starters, how about this “Coach Walz” nonsense, which he broached yet again on Tuesday. Let’s be real,
Former President Donald Trump wasted his debate last month with Vice President Kamala Harris.
That was Trump’s opportunity to call out her numerous (and significant) flip-flops in front of a national audience – and more important to tie Harris to the failed economic and immigration policies of the current administration. The only scheduled vice presidential debate Tuesday between GOP Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was likely the last chance the two sides will have before the Nov. 5 election to make their case on this type of widely viewed platform, because Trump has said that he won’t meet Harris for another debate.
Even though states across the southeastern U.S. are still reeling from Hurricane Helene's destructive path, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "does not have the funds" to get through hurricane season. On "Fox & Friends First" on Thursday, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody shredded the secretary over the comments, pointing out the more than $1 billion spent on migrants. ASHLEY MOODY: Everyone should be waking up this morning outraged by that comment. This is not something that has just happened recently. And Florida's been warning about this since this administration took over. Mayorkas has come in like a virus and
Woke Language is a Weapon of War

Those who love our country’s principles of justice — equality of rights, equality under the law, merit and responsibility — must not be taken in when old and precious words are given radically new and pernicious meanings. Such manipulation of language is a hallmark of ideological despotism that aims at the destruction of the capacity of citizens to speak and reason together about the “advantageous and the just,” as Aristotle put it so well more than two millennia ago at the beginning of his Politics.
The clear meaning of words must be respected if civic life is to endure in any meaningful way. Language, which is never merely
The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website.
Some Michigan Democrats are worried about a repeat of Hillary Clinton's loss in the state as election day nears and Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump remain neck-and-neck in the polls, according to reports. "Smart Democrats have a healthy sense of paranoia," Michigan Democratic strategist Adrian Hemond told the Associated Press (AP). "If polling is as far off as it was in 2016, we’re cooked."
A new poll released by the New York Times and Siena College found Harris had 48% support in Michigan and Trump had 47%. Clinton narrowly lost Michigan to Trump in 2016 despite consistently leading in polls,
“I guess we now know the story about Walz being nervous and a bad debater wasn’t an expectation-lowering exercise — it was a leak,” said one top Republican leaving the just-concluded vice presidential debate between Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) late Tuesday night. Indeed, when the debate began at 9 p.m., it was clear from its first moments that Walz was just what the stories had said — nervous and a bad debater. It was also clear that Vance was going to win the debate decisively.
Chris LaCivita, the co-manager of the Trump campaign, said he could tell what was happening almost immediately.
In the ever-evolving cover-up of the cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop, it was instructive to hear a recent interchange between Rep. Dan Goldman, the odious New York Democrat, and Texas Republican Rep. August Pfluger, a decorated former fighter pilot, in the House Homeland Security Committee last week.
Pfluger had introduced legislation to block funding for any bogus “intelligence experts” group that border-wrecker Alejandro Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security will use to censor Americans and interfere with our elections under the guise of protecting us from “disinformation.”
Judging from past outrages, such as the “Dirty 51” letter from the 51 “spies who lied” about Hunter’s laptop, Pfluger’s
In the vice presidential debate Tuesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pulled the fire alarm.
His opponent, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, cited the massive system of censorship supported by Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate.
Walz proceeded to quote the line from a 1919 case in which Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said you do not have the right to falsely yell fire in a crowded theater. It is the favorite mantra of the anti-free speech movement. It also is fundamentally wrong.
Vice presidential debates don’t matter, we have been assured over and over. No one votes for vice president or a presidential nominee for her or his choice of running mate. You can go back and look at snap polls taken after past vice presidential debates and find basically zero correlation with the final election results.
All that said, the debate between Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) may turn out to matter. There’s no question, certainly, about who came out ahead. As Joe Klein, a heartfelt opponent of former President Donald Trump, led off, “Well, we saw the high school studies teacher destroyed
There was one objective for JD Vance last night: introduce himself to American voters who only know him through the media they follow. They’ve heard he was “weird.” They’ve seen memes where he called women “childless cat ladies.” They’ve seen one picture after another demonizing, mocking, and attempting to invent a cartoon character of their version of JD Vance. In other words, they’ve dehumanized him.
Well, they all have dripping, icky, rotten egg on their faces today after JD Vance’s masterful debate performance, one that will easily make and define his political career and go down as one of the all-time best debate performances in history.

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney, one of Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican antagonists, will join Democrat Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Wisconsin on Thursday aimed at reaching out to moderate voters and rattling the GOP nominee.
Cheney was the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, earning Trump’s disdain and effectively exiling herself from her own party.
Cheney lost her House seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate two years ago and she endorsed Harris, the Democratic nominee, last month. The two women will appear together in a historic white schoolhouse in Ripon,

Music legend Bruce Springsteen officially endorsed Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday and launched an extraordinary attack on former President Donald Trump.
The 75-year-old rocker made his presidential election preference known by posting a video to Instagram, which he appeared to have filmed from a diner.
Sporting a flannel button-down jacket, Springsteen warned that Trump represented 'the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.'
The federal government's disaster response agency doesn't have enough money to help Americans left in distress by Hurricane Helene after blowing billions on illegal migrants.
Over the last two years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has handed out more than $1 billion taxpayer dollars to specifically support illegal migrants with housing.
But now there's no money to help out the 150,000 American citizens who have reached out for federal assistance after their homes were damaged by Hurricane Helene.

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after draining his department’s emergency kitty this year to address the migrant crisis.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.
“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has spent more than one billion dollars on services for illegal immigrants over the past year, now has insufficient funds to last through the hurricane season.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas told reporters. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
Hurricane Helene has ravaged the west coast of Florida and several states in the Southeast, flooding towns, destroying properties, and killing over 160 people.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz did not have a good night against Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). The vice presidential debate on CBS News wasn’t a disqualifying performance by Walz, but Democrats cannot be happy. It started rough, and it was like that for the Minnesota liberal for most of the night. He was able to find his footing, though toward the debate’s end, where he made a rash of odd remarks, like being a school shooter’s best friend, the female gender being a preexisting condition, and a baffling and shambolic response

Hassan Nasrallah's son-in-law, Hassan Jafar Qassir, may have been killed in airstrikes in the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus on Wednesday, according to early reports published by Sky News Arabic. Hassan is the brother of Muhammad Jafar Qassir, who was killed in a strike in Beirut on Wednesday during the Iranian attack on Israel. Hassan's assassination is another severe blow to Hezbollah as its leadership has been slowly picked off in Israeli operations. Muhammed became a leading figure in the deliveries of Iranian weapons from Syria, and Hassan married Hassan Nasrallah's daughter, cementing their connection to Hezbollah and Iran.
Governor Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) is making sure the disruptive east coast dockworker strike does not get in the way of his state’s ongoing hurricane recovery efforts.
DeSantis announced Thursday an executive order sending Florida’s National Guard to ports affected by the dockworker strike and directing Florida’s department of transportation to waive select tolls and weight regulations for trucks. He is also instructing the Florida highway patrol to oversee the flow of traffic from ports into the state.
“At my direction, the Florida national guard and Florida state guard will be deployed to critical ports affected to maintain order and if possible resume operations
A South Carolina volunteer firefighter was threatened with arrest after he used his own helicopter to assist with rescue efforts in western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on the area. This comes as the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Transportation has set up a no-fly zone for drones in the area, and issued a temporary no-fly zone for private flights.

A judge has thrown out charges of attempted murder against the Arizona college student who nearly killed a classmate in an unprovoked knife attack in front of horrified students.
Kaci Sloan was facing multiple charges after launching herself at Mara Daffron, 19, as the pair arrived for class at ASU’s West Valley campus on September 19.
The 'bubbly’ student needed emergency surgery for a ruptured spleen and injuries to her chest and arm after Sloan stabbed her twice in a premeditated attack before being hauled off her target by fellow students.
Kamala Harris’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, denied allegations on Thursday that he “forcefully slapped” his then-girlfriend “for flirting with another man” in 2012.
The denial comes as Harris seeks the presidency in a tight race and is performing poorly among men, who appear to view her as an opponent of masculinity.
“This report is untrue,” and “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false,” Emhoff’s spokesperson told Semafor’s Max Tani.
Breitbart News’s John Nolte outlined the original allegations first reported by the Daily Mail:
Three friends of the alleged victim, whom the Daily Mail only identifies with the pseudonym “Jane,” have come forward
