Undaunted and unafraid, Donald Trump came back to hold a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, twelve weeks after he was shot in the same spot. The former president praised American heroes past and present, slammed the failures of his Democrat opponents, and proposed his plan for restoring the American Dream.
“Twelve weeks ago, we all took a bullet for America — and all we are all asking in return is that everyone goes out and votes,” Trump told a crowd that reportedly comprised 60,000 people. From a beautiful tribute to Butler rally 1.0 shooting victim Corey Comperatore to a data-driven analysis of the border crisis to a common sense economic/energy plan
The ground is shifting in the 2024 presidential campaign. If Donald Trump and JD Vance win this November, that will be literally a true statement because Trump and Vance want to use federal land to create more housing and wealth for Americans.
Needless to say, green liberals hate the idea.
Most Americans are only vaguely aware that the federal government owns 28 percent of the land in the United States. There was never any particular reason for this federal land-grabbing. It just sort of happened in the 19th century, as nobody wanted to live on arid or remote swathes of territory.

CNN’s Elie Honig isn’t Scott Jennings, but he’s also not going to play along with these laughable political games being carried out by the Department of Justice. Honig, a former assistant US Attorney, was aghast over the 165-page filing made by Special Counsel Jack Smith, which Katie covered: (Snip) And it’s election interference. Honig doesn’t say that but obliterates Smith in his recent column in New York Magazine. The ‘people have the right to know’ mantra has zero bearing in these proceedings. Honig mentioned that since that’s likely what some will argue regarding this atrocious protocol and institutional norms breach.
Vice President Harris is facing the wrath of Catholic voters after years public hostility towards them, insiders say.
“Kamala’s definitely been impacted negatively by a lack of support from Catholic voters,” said Ryan Girdusky, a GOP strategist and Catholic. “She’s polling worse than Joe Biden among a very important demographic. They are the largest single church in America, the Catholic vote will help decide the presidency.”
A survey from the Pew Research Center last month showed Harris underwater with Catholic voters, with 47% support to Trump’s 52%. The numbers were exactly flipped in 2020 when Biden, a Catholic, beat Trump, according to exit polling from the Washington Post.
Hashem Safi Al-Din, who is the presumed successor of former Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, was reportedly killed along with other senior officials in an Israeli strike in southern Beirut on Friday, an unnamed official told Sky News Arabia. Additionally, several high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers were in the same location when the airstrike hit. One of them is believed to be Ismail Qaani, a Brigadier General in the IRGC and commander of its Quds Force.
A Lebanese security source told Sky News that the chances of anyone surviving the targeted strike were “almost zero.”
The Saudi news organization Al-Hadath had previously reported that Safieddine was dead on Saturday morning.
Hurricane Helene, which tore through the southeastern United States and took more than 185 lives, may also effect this year's presidential election.
The hurricane was the first catastrophe in US history to hit two crucial swing states - North Carolina and Georgia - within just six weeks of a presidential election, according to Politico.
It particularly devastated heavily Republican areas of the two states, giving Vice President Kamala Harris a potential edge over former President Donald Trump.
Former President Donald Trump honored firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was murdered in the near-assassination of Trump in July, during his return to Butler, Pennslyvania, on Saturday.
Trump hailed Comperatore –whose wife, Helen, and children were in attendance – as a hero for the actions he took to shield his family from the shooter, sacrificing his life.(X Video)
“Corey Comperatore was an incredible husband and father, a devout Christian, a veteran, and a proud former fire chief, very respected within the town. Everybody knew him, ” Trump said. “Few men volunteered to run into fires, but Corey was one of those who did. He ran into fires.”
Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) declared that the America First movement “can’t be intimidated” while speaking at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, (Snip) As Trump was just millimeters away from death, with the bullet striking his ear, Vance said Saturday that he is certain Divine Intervention saved Trump.
“Now I believe, as sure as I’m standing here today, that what happened was a true miracle, and on that day, America felt the truth of Scripture. ‘Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me,'” he said.

One of the excuses you always hear when there’s a massive failure by the Biden-Harris administration is that no one could have seen it coming. No one could have predicted that the Inflation Reduction Act would actually increase inflation. No one could have predicted that the Afghan government would collapse immediately after we pulled out our troops, leading to a security breakdown and the deaths of 13 U.S. military personnel. No one could have predicted that shipping pallets of cash to Iran would provide funding for a new campaign of terrorist attacks by Iran’s proxies, and so on.
The truth though is that all of these disasters were easily foreseeable.
Elon Musk took the stage at former President Donald Trump’s triumphant rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday — three months after the first assassination attempt on his life there — where he offered his full-throated support for the Republican candidate and implored people to register to vote.
Musk, 53, joked he’s “not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA” as he took the stage to loud cheers from the 20,000-plus crowd dressed in all black — including a custom black MAGA hat.
“President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America,” Musk stressed to the audience.

“And good is going to win,” she said.
Nothing illustrates the contempt and outright hatred the government has for us than what is happening in North Carolina. FEMA has spent all its funds, all their tax money, on migrants, who, btw, are illegal economic migrants.

This is more of a think piece than an article, so please stay with me here. It’s based on decades of public health and disaster management work I’ve been involved with during my career.
I first got involved in this while working as an executive at Lexington County Hospital, across the river from the state Capital of Columbia in South Carolina. I’ve had similar positions at other county and city hospitals, including such disaster areas as Flint, Michigan’s city hospital. In all cases, those hospitals were responsible for public health in the counties and cities they served.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign appears to have set their focus on fundraising and celebrity sit-downs, raking in millions through the help of Hollywood and big money donors.
Support for Vice President Kamala Harris skyrocketed after President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid on July 21 and endorsed her. Donors who had withheld funds under Biden and celebrities questioning his mental fitness quickly rallied around Harris, dramatically boosting her image.
Tesla boss Elon Musk jumped on stage with his fists in air as he joined Donald Trump on stage for the first time.
It came as Trump returned to the Butler Farm Show grounds where he survived an attempted assassination two months ago.

The U.S. Secret Service erected a ring of steel around Donald Trump as he returns to the scene of a failed assassination attempt 12 weeks ago.
As thousands of supporters poured into the grounds of the Butler Farm Show in Pennsylvania snipers sat atop cargo containers and agents swarmed the area along with police on horseback, turning it into a security fortress.
On July 13, gunman Thomas Crooks fired a hail of bullets from the roof of a nearby glass company warehouse which had, disastrously, been left unguarded, hitting Trump in the ear.

Who Is Going to Vote Democrat?
replies
At least 40% of Americans who vote this year are almost sure to vote for Harris/Walz and other Democrats down ticket. That’s a history lesson that I have written about before. Even the woefully incompetent Jimmy Carter received 41% of the popular vote in 1980 after four years of miserable failure. I guess some people like failure. But who are these people? Who in their right mind would vote for Kamala Harris for President? Well, again, millions will do it. Why? Let’s look at who these people are.
But before I do that, I want to mention the countless Americans who won’t vote for anybody.

In his first act after retirement from the Navy, whistleblower Ted Macie endorsed former President Donald Trump, donning a red Make America Great Again hat at his retirement ceremony on Friday on the USS Constitution in Boston.
“He didn’t start any wars. And as a military member, and having a family, that’s extremely important,” said Macie in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Mathew Boyle on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday.
“Secondly…he obviously has a strong border policy. Stark contrast to the border czar Kamala, who went down once…and that was it — didn’t do anything,” he added.
A three-time convicted violent criminal repeatedly threatened to kidnap and kill Judge Aileen Cannon and her family but the Biden-Harris DOJ waited FOUR MONTHS to bring charges and arrest him.
Aileen Cannon is a Trump-appointed judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Judge Cannon was assigned to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against President Trump.
Eric Rennert, 65, of Illinois, is facing six federal charges and the indictment accuses him of communicating interstate threats and threatening to kidnap, injure, and murder a federal judge.
President Joe Biden’s Homeland Security chief is now refusing to send home the more than 500,000 foreign workers he has imported via a “humanitarian” parole program that was supposedly limited to two years.
Instead of being sent home at the end of their two-year visas, the 530,000 economic migrants are being invited to use the many loopholes, exemptions, and lawsuits in migration law to stay working in the United States.
When they do stay, they will continue to make Americans poorer by minimizing pressure on employers to hire Americans at decent wages or to invest in wage-boosting workplace technology — while also extending their separation from their at-home families.
Former President Donald Trump uttered words on Saturday that summed up the reason for his second visit to Butler, PA.

Samantha Power, the Biden-Harris administration’s United States Agency for International Development (USAID) administrator, posted a tone-deaf video on Friday explaining “how Americans are helping Ukraine keep the lights and heat on” — as nearly 700,000 American homes and businesses suffer from power outages in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
“I’m here in an energy substation in the western region of Ukraine. This substation provides enough power for around 500,000 residents of this area,” Power says in the video. “I’m standing in front of an auto transformer that used to provide power, but that Putin’s forces destroyed back in 2022.”
A dead heat is getting even hotter for Kamala Harris. To see it, you can look at the slightly tightening polls; to appreciate you must look inside them. However, to fully understand it, you must look at what Harris did last week: she visited the southern border, she gave an economic speech and she held another softball interview. For a campaign centered on not saying anything, Harris’ playing to her weaknesses says a lot.
The polls say the race is tightening slightly. According to RealClearPolitics’ Sept. 29 average of national polling in a two-way race, Harris leads Trump 49.1 percent to 47.1 percent.
The swing state of Pennsylvania’s voter registration system will be closed on the night of former President Donald Trump’s return rally in Butler, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against him.

An Ohio court has referred to county prosecutors a criminal case brought by a citizens’ group against the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates over their comments about Haitian immigrants but rejected the group’s call to issue arrest warrants or misdemeanor summons.

JD Vance. “The matter was then referred to the Clark County prosecutor’s office for further investigation,” city officials said.

When describing the Biden-Harris administration’s policy of allowing millions of illegal border crossers to stay in the United States, it’s absolutely critical to use the word “unvetted.” What government official would let so many people who entered the country illegally remain in the U.S. without even knowing who they are? That would be crazy. And yet that is exactly what the Biden-Harris administration has done for nearly four years. And by the way, administration officials don’t want you to know how often they have done it.

But she also revealed how it inspired her to focus her child-centric Be Best initiative on childhood welfare and online bullying.
A crowd of people held a prayer vigil for former President Donald Trump ahead of his second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, months after an assassination attempt on his life.
People could be heard praying, and asking God for “the safety and protection of family, friends, neighbors, and community,” as well as for Trump. People were also heard saying the “Saint Michael, the Archangel Prayer.” “We come together and ask for continued and increased protection in the upcoming hours, days, and weeks,” one could be heard saying.
The woman continued: “We ask for the safety and protection of family, friends, neighbors, and community. We ask for protection for President Trump,
This week, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino unveiled a massive, $150,000 ‘Vote for Trump’ sign on top of the tallest building in Amsterdam, NY.
The sign is meant to symbolize American manufacturing coming back to America, with the location being a fitting due to the factory building it is a-fixed on top of being vacant for over 40 years following the closing of Fownes Brothers and Co., a glove manufacturer that shut down U.S. operations in 1984 and moved to China, decimating Amsterdam.
But when Constantino brought Sticker Mule to the city in 2010, things began to turn around.
According to London-based investor and environmentalist Adam Sweidan, a “black elephant” is a mix of two metaphors: “a black swan” — an unlikely, unexpected event with enormous ramifications — and the “elephant in the room” — a problem that is visible to everyone, yet no one still wants to address it.
The Democratic Party has a “Black Elephant” problem they don’t want to talk about, African Americans to comprehend and voters to respond to on election day.
That problem involves the growing support for former President Donald Trump from African Americans.
Recent reports reveal that black men in particular are supporting President Trump in record numbers.
Politico is framing the “lack of vetting” as the reason Kamala Harris is now stuck with Tim Walz as a liability dragging down her campaign. The VP nominee is essentially outlined as a lying liar who lies, although they use the word “misspeak” frequently.
Strangely, or not, Politico never outlines that Tim Walz was specifically vetted by Eric Holder. As a consequence, if the political left is going to run with the excuse of failed vetting of Walz to explain Harris losing, they are essentially saying Eric Holder sunk Harris.
President Biden warned that the money for a disaster aid loan program used by survivors of Hurricane Helene and other calamities will soon dry up without intervention from Congress.
In a letter to the four congressional leaders on Friday, Mr. Biden said the Small Business Administration’s program is on the verge of going broke before Congress is slated to return after the Nov. 5 election.
The loans are a “critical lifeline” that act as the “largest source of Federal disaster recovery funds,” he said, adding that $1.2 billion is needed to refill the program’s coffers. Lawmakers are out of town until Nov. 12. “I warned the Congress
Gang members brandishing automatic rifles stormed through a town in Haiti’s main breadbasket region, killing at least 70 and forcing over 6,000 to flee, causing widespread shock even in a country grown accustomed to outbreaks of violence.
More people were severely injured in the attack in the early hours of Thursday at Pont-Sonde, in the agricultural region of Artibonite in western Haiti. Gran Grif gang leader Luckson Elan took responsibility for the massacre, saying it was in retaliation for civilians remaining passive while police and vigilante groups killed his soldiers.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as anticipated, easily won the vice-presidential debate Tuesday, October 1, on demeanor, facts, and analysis. But in fairness to a sometimes herky-jerky and nervous Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, he had the harder task of defending the temporary pseudo-conservative make-over of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. His additional burdens were her co-culpability for the last three-and-a-half-years of the Biden disaster, and her unwillingness to implement her supposedly "change" agenda in the last months of her vice-presidential tenure.
The CBS News moderators, Nora O’Donnell, and, especially, Margaret Brennan, also as expected, ganged up on Vance.

Mysterious “traffic” signs featuring former President Donald Trump’s silhouetted profile have been popping up around Staten Island, Bay Ridge and other parts of the city, garnering a mix of confusion, praise and disgust.

North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims are furious at the government for, what they say, has abandoned them without proper resources or supplies. Even so, the storm has taken more than 200 lives and the feeder Al government’s response has been less than urgent. More than a week after the storm hit, North and South Carolina states continue to be isolated with hundreds being without power and lousy service, making it difficult to communicate outside of their community.
Most of the areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene are filled with Trump voters. Asheville, North Carolina is a notable exception, but we’re four weeks and change away from a consequential presidential election and two weeks away from the start of early voting in these hurricane-hit states of Georgia (October 15), North Carolina (October 17), and Tennessee (October 16).

While on “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Carville called out Tapper and CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten, who had previously warned about Harris trailing in Michigan polls.

Failed Policies: ‘Major Player in Everything

President Joe Biden again undermined Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign on Friday by tying her to their administration’s policy failures.
Biden’s comments are damaging to Harris because she has been trying to run away from a catch-22: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
If it's Friday, then it stands to reason that there's going to be a Friday news dump. And the Biden administration didn't disappoint with its quiet announcement in the work week's waning hours, stating that it will end plans to provide a path to citizenship for the over 500,000 illegal aliens from four nations that it flew into the United States. Readers might remember the temporary pause in the program in August, after major fraudulent activities were exposed in the program's management, in part thanks to Elon Musk's bringing attention to the Daily Mail's story back in the spring.

Joe Biden made history for himself on Friday and created chaos when he appeared in the White House briefing room for the first time since assuming power nearly four years ago. By doing so, he also undercut his sidekick Kamala Harris as she desperately tries to pander to voters.
A jovial Biden utilized his appearance to boast about the latest fake job numbers from the Labor Department along with the temporary agreement last night between International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance to reopen the ports.
I have long thought that one of the hallmarks of an advanced economy is built-in resilience to shocks to the system.
As with so many things these days, that resilience has eroded to the point that, except in certain areas of the country like Florida, it hardly exists.
You have probably seen many of the same videos I have, in which North Carolina residents are begging for help and wondering where FEMA is. Aside from funding migrants, that is. It seems to be doing a fine job at that, exhausting the funds that should be going to help Helene's victims. Why is FEMA so awful?

Minneapolis — One state audit found that bonus checks intended for frontline workers during the pandemic were handed out to undeserving recipients. Another criticized a Minnesota state agency for failing to ensure there were no conflicts of interest in taxpayer-funded mental health and addiction programs. A third detailed lax oversight of a program to feed needy kids which federal prosecutors say resulted in the nation’s largest Covid-era fraud scheme. But when confronted with these and other troubling examples of waste, fraud and abuse, some state agencies working under the administration of Democratic Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly minimized or dismissed the allegations, the state’s nonpartisan auditor, Judy Randall, told CNN.
