Arizona Democratic Congressman and US Senate Candidate Ruben Marinlarena-Gallego just about cried last week when a reporter rehashed his “connection to drug cartels” after Kari Lake accurately reminded voters of Gallego’s family ties.
Notably, he did not deny having what the reporter described as a “connection to drug cartels” or that his father “works for the cartels.” Instead, he proceeded to smear his Trump-Endorsed opponent, Kari Lake, and cry victim.
“My father, who abandoned my family, is a convicted drug dealer,” Gallego admitted in the teary-eyed performance.

Former President Donald Trump will host a major rally at the Big Apple’s iconic Madison Square Garden later this month, The Post has learned.
The event, which will be held at MSG’s legendary arena, is set to take place on Oct. 27 — nine days before Election Day — sources said.
A massive turnout is expected for the rally, which will be a first-come, first-serve event. (Photo) Trump, 78, drew about 16,000 fans for a raucous rally at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, last month.

Readers were no doubt dismayed to discover the pro-abortion views of Melania Trump, expected to be published soon in her upcoming autobiography. [Snip] Indeed, with the unexpected release of Melania’s apparently longstanding abortion boosterism, it is more remarkable that President Trump’s courageous actions in office so greatly advanced the pro-life cause, establishing him as the most pro-life president in U.S. history. Yes, readers may have also been disturbed by some of Trump’s recent statements, but they must be seen in the context of what he has done for the unborn. [Snip] He was advocating for major policy positions which conflicted with his own wife’s strongly-held personal views
I have long known that fluoridating water was a terrible idea, but I have been reluctant to write or even discuss this fact with people because the expert consensus was that anybody who opposed it was a kook.
Remember this scene from Dr. Strangelove? It perfectly encapsulates the attitude of "experts" and the people who believe them about those who questioned fluoridation: they are insane. The American Public Health Association says:
Community water fluoridation is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. Water fluoridation has played a major
Kamala Harris surprised a lot of people when she claimed during her debate with Donald Trump that she is a gun owner. People immediately began wondering what type of gun she owns and how long she has had it.
Amazingly, she was asked about this during her awful appearance on 60 Minutes.
Harris claimed that she owns a ‘Glock’ and that she has fired it during visits to the gun range. (X Video) Would you be shocked to learn that Harris wanted to ban the gun she now says she owns?
After impregnating his children's nanny, and getting accused of slapping a girlfriend so hard she "spun around," Kamala Harris's hubby, Doug Emhoff, has now been accused of being his company's office 'a******," a foul-mouthed bully who treated the women he worked with like dirt.
So much for that mild-mannered milquetoast persona he presents to MSNBC.
According to the Daily Mail: Kamala Harris's husband was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work, his former colleagues tell DailyMail.com.
Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him
Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is accused of being a foul-mouthed “a*****e” and “misogynist” who hired a “trophy secretary” because she was “pretty” and “retaliated against women who didn’t flirt back.”
The same Daily Mail that broke the dual stories of Emhoff cheating on his first wife by knocking up his children’s nanny (which Emhoff has admitted to) and knocking around an old girlfriend for flirting with a parking attendant (which Emhoff has denied), has spoken to Emhoff’s former colleagues at his former law firm Venable.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump were ecstatic to hear that Vice President Kamala Harris could leave the country if he wins next month's presidential election.
Harris didn't specifically say she would jump ship, but rather didn't answer the question directly when it was posed Tuesday by radio host Howard Stern.
Stern, a vocal Democrat and Harris supporter, had asked the Democratic nominee: 'If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country? Would you stay in this country?'

This morning I noticed a link at Instapundit linking the Appalachian floods and the Mandate of Heaven. Of course!

Hezbollah said Tuesday it is now ready to engage in cease-fire talks with Israel, after suffering serious blows to its leadership and ranks in recent months.
The terror group in Lebanon made the announcement after firing more than 100 rockets at the Jewish state hours earlier.
Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, publicly endorsed a truce with Israel, the first such time the terror group has proposed a cease-fire not conditioned on the war in Gaza. “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” Qassem said, according to a CNN translation.
Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, once again demonstrated her inability to navigate even the most favorable media settings, handing President Trump yet another opportunity to pounce. Appearing on The View, Harris joined the show’s co-hosts to promote her campaign and attempt to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s dismal record.
However, what was expected to be a softball interview turned into another embarrassing blunder for Kamala.
Kamala faced a rare moment of accountability when The View co-host Sunny Hostin dared to ask a challenging question—one that Harris failed to navigate.
Former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview during a Tuesday interview with Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on Tuesday.
“I got to watch last night, ’60 Minutes,'” Trump told Shapiro. “And she answers questions like a child. This is not a president.”
Harris, who has largely refused to take on tough questions since she became the Democrats’ nominee, struggled to answer basic questions about her record during the “60 Minutes” interview. Trump said Harris struggled with numerous basic questions. “Every time she does an interview, she sounds like a child,” he added. “She sounds like a person with a very low IQ, you know?”

Vice President Kamala Harris told “60 Minutes” Monday that she owns a Glock handgun — triggering allegations of hypocrisy due to her own past support for firearm bans and questions about whether she’s complying with existing gun-control laws.
“I have a Glock and I’ve had it for quite some time,” the 59-year-old Harris told CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker.
“My background is in law enforcement, so there you go.” Asked if she had ever fired the gun, Harris laughingly replied, “Yes, of course I have, at a shooting range— yes, of course, I have.” Harris previously supported handgun bans in both San Francisco, where she
Vice Presidential hopeful Gov. Tim Walz revealed a very unusual nickname he has for Kamala Harris - which is saved as her name in his phone.

A new New York Times poll was just released Tuesday, showing Kamala Harris taking the lead over Donald Trump nationwide for the first time since July after President Joe Biden spectacularly dropped out of the race.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Tuesday that Hezbollah’s intended replacement of its former leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed late last month, has also been "taken out."
"Today, Hezbollah is weaker than it has been for many, many years," Netanyahu said in a message tailored directly to the "people of Lebanon."
"We’ve degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities, we took out thousands of terrorists, including [former Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah himself, and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of his replacement."
Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, told Breitbart News exclusively in a written interview after his victorious debate performance against Minnesota’s Democrat Gov. Tim Walz last week that Trump deserves the credit for developing the strategy that propelled him to victory. Vance told Breitbart News that Trump told him in the lead-up to the debate that he should focus his criticisms on Vice President Kamala Harris—the Democrats’ presidential nominee—rather than wasting time and energy on Walz. Vance said Trump’s idea clearly “worked,” and he thanked the former president for it afterwards

Radio host Howard Stern suggested Tuesday his vote for Vice President Kamala Harris was equal to voting for a wall.
“Yes, I’m voting for you. But I would also vote for that wall over there,” Stern told Harris during a Tuesday interview on his radio show.
Stern’s interview with Harris was not full of policy questions or debate. His first question was: “Do you nap at all?” His second question was, “Did you like the Prince soundtrack for the Batman movie?” “Howard Stern used to broadcast audio of people performing sex acts on each other,” Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak posted on X. “This interview of Kamala is in that genre.”
Furious Joe Biden regrets choosing Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the Justice Department after the agency prosecuted his son Hunter, a new book by Bob Woodward claims.

Political pundits mercilessly mocked Vice President Kamala Harris’s performance during a 60 Minutes interview Monday after she delivered false, incoherent, and rambling statements.
The interview represented one of the first times she sat down for a serious, unscripted interview since joining the race, with a host that asked honest questions. Harris has not sat for many local interviews in battleground states, and she has mostly avoided the national press and conducted zero press conferences.
During the 60-minute interview, Harris was asked how she would pay for increased spending. She responded by arguing billionaires will pay for it.

Justice Alito asked about “components” and the way they are defined in relation to a “weapon.”
He asked, “Here is a blank pad and a pen. Is this a grocery list?” The government answered no, citing
Former President Donald Trump has extended his lead in the Daily Mail's election model, which now gives him his highest probability yet of victory over Kamala Harris in November's election.
A favorable poll in the critical swing state of Michigan, putting him one-point up over his Democratic opponent, helped nudge him to an almost 18-point lead, two points more than last week.
But plenty can change in the final weeks of campaigning. And with Trump on a 58.8 percent of winning to Harris' 41.1 the result remains very much in tossup territory.
However, the latest polling data now suggest that Trump is on track to win 302 electoral college votes to Harris' 236,

Florida will have at least 37,000 linemen at the ready — and perhaps a few thousands more — as Hurricane Milton barrels toward the west coast, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday morning.
He made the promise while delivering an update at the State Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee.
“Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on the west coast of Florida sometime between Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning,” DeSantis said, noting that the storm has moved a bit slower than initial projections showed. Regardless, the governor — who is widely heralded for his efficient response to hurricanes — warned Floridians to not get “wedded to the cone,”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has President Joe Biden’s personal phone number, the president told reporters Tuesday as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida’s west coast.
Biden’s statement undercut Vice President Kamala Harris’s apparent attempt to appear presidential to voters.
On Tuesday, an unnamed aide to DeSantis told the establishment media that the governor refused to take a call from Harris about the storm, allegedly because the governor believed the vice president was only calling for political reasons. However, DeSantis denied Harris had called him at all.
Just when you thought the left couldn’t get any more desperate, they go and try to resurrect the Russiagate narrative that plagued news coverage of former President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Kamala Harris can’t think of a single thing she would have done differently from President Joe Biden during her time serving as his vice president over the past four years.
Harris appeared on The View Monday morning and host Sunny Hostin lightly asked her if there was something she would have handled differently from Biden, an important question for Harris down the stretch of the presidential campaign.
“There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris said. “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

The constant, pernicious lie the left continues to repeat is that “The rich don’t pay their fair share” in taxes. Kamala Harris repeated that lie in her recent "60 Minutes" interview. She said: “Well, one thing...I’m going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan on making that fair.” Kamala, in particular, and the left, in general, love to repeat that lie, and when confronted, they use an apples are oranges deflection,
Efforts by a Haitian group demanding arrest warrants against former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) have fizzled out.
An Ohio court “found no probable cause” to issue warrants against Trump and his vice presidential running mate for claims of “baseless fear-mongering that legal Haitian immigrants are eating their neighbor’s pets,” according to the law firm representing the nonprofit group retained by the Haitian community.
The Haitian Bridge Alliance “invoked a private-citizen right” and filed the lawsuit in September “over the chaos and threats” allegedly brought about by comments made by Trump and Vance.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in one of her first serious and unscripted interviews of the campaign, delivered an incoherent and rambling response when asked about what success looks like “in ending the war” in Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine after the Biden-Harris administration took power. Before the invasion, Russia indicated it was worried about the administration’s inviting overtures for Ukraine to join NATO, a political and military alliance of countries on the doorstep of Russia. It repeatedly claimed any expansion of NATO into Ukraine was a redline. Reports suggest that the Biden-Harris administration refuse to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin about a peace deal,
We've spoken before about how Vice President Kamala Harris doesn't seem to have the same labor union support that President Joe Biden enjoyed. We've seen this play out in a variety of ways, with unions like the Teamsters and the International Association of Firefighters choosing not to endorse Harris when they usually endorse Democratic candidates. The data on the Teamsters polling showed that every state went for Trump over Harris, including every swing state and even blue states.
This is a big problem for Harris, particularly in the Rust Belt states that she desperately needs.
I don't know who ultimately decided that Tim Walz and Kamala Harris had to go out and do interviews. But given the train wrecks that have ensued, whoever it is has to be losing it behind the scenes.
Both Walz and Harris were nuked on "60 Minutes" Monday night. Tim Walz also got completely destroyed by Shannon Bream on Fox. But you wouldn't have bet money that Kamala's ultimate denouement would come on "The View" -- perhaps the most friendly possible outlet that she could go on.

Kamala Harris’s campaign took a hard hit this week during her highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview with CBS’s Bill Whitaker.
What was meant to be a friendly sit-down to showcase her policies turned into an all-out disaster, as Harris was called out for essentially being “handed” the Democrat nomination without ever going through a primary process.
CBS hit her with hard-hitting facts: no votes, no debates, no campaign battle — just an elitist handoff of power.
After a shaky start discussing her foreign policy approach to Middle East tensions, Harris stumbled through an attempted defense of her economic policies, which Whitaker repeatedly challenged.

CBS News appears to have edited the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris to show the Democratic 2024 hopeful in a more positive light.
Social media erupted in criticism of the vice president's 'word salad' response to a question about the Israeli-Hamas war. But after the episode aired on 60 Minutes on Monday night, the version that was put onto the show's official YouTube page did not include Harris' nonsensical answer and instead included a truncated and more straight-forward response.
And pro-MAGA accounts and conservative people on X were quick to point out the change.
He’s not a nice old man. Joe Biden had a reputation for being Mr. Empathy until that got torpedoed during his weak sauce presidency. He’s intentionally slow walking aid to Georgia and North Carolina to prevent these people from recovering in time for Election Day. There are other moments where this cantankerous ogre reared its ugly head, but the aftermath of Hurricane Helene has shined a light on it. And for being half braindead, Joe is doing an excellent job in sabotaging his vice president’s 2024 chances, starting with interjecting into Kamala’s soft media blitz.
President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book.
“That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week.
In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all.
The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,
Volunteers in one tiny North Carolina town have revealed a disturbing incident that unfolded Sunday night as the region tries to recover from Hurricane Helene.

Kamala Harris cannot even handle the softest possible interview without stepping on a rake and handing President Trump a gift.
Harris appeared with the clucking hens on The View today in New York City to discuss her campaign and spread more lies to the American public regarding her regime’s ‘accomplishments.’ This marked Harris’s first live interview and first talk show appearance since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.
Unfortunately for her, The View co-host Sunny Hostin briefly decided to practice journalism.

Robby Starbuck, a right-wing activist who loves to troll the left, lives on a 12-acre farm in Tennessee, about four hours from the area that Hurricane Helene ravaged last week. After the storm hit southern Appalachia, a friend told him that hurricane victims were struggling to connect with the outside world.
“So many people were worried that their family members might have died and they couldn’t get in touch,” Starbuck told The Free Press. The hurricane has been the worst since Katrina in 2005, with 230 deaths so far, and damages estimated between $30 billion and $47 billion.

Vice President Kamala Harris got grilled in a tense “60 Minutes” interview Monday night for alienating “millions and millions” of US voters by calling former President Donald Trump a “racist.”
CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker took Harris to task for portraying Trump as “racist and divisive.” “You have accused Donald Trump of using racist tropes when it comes to Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, when it comes to birtherism, when it comes to Charlottesville. In fact, you have called him a racist and divisive,” Whitaker said.
“Yet Donald Trump has the support of millions and millions of Americans. How do you explain that?”
Over the weekend I wrote about recently hints that the Harris campaign might be in trouble in Michigan, a swing state they need to win next month. One of the issues that has Democrats in the state feeling nervous is the ongoing Israeli-Hamas war.

This is a little bit unusual, and I don’t generally recommend going to a bizarro leftist narrative article for full review; however, in this case it is worth it. Politico has written an article about FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, saying disinformation about the federal government response to Hurricane Helene, “is absolutely the worst I have ever seen,” Criswell told reporters on a Tuesday morning call. “It’s creating distrust in the federal government, but also the state government, and we have so many first responders that have been working to go out and help these communities,” she added. {link}
Gov. Ron DeSantis hit back at Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday during an interview on Fox News' "Hannity," as the Florida governor prepares for another hurricane, Hurricane Milton, to hit the state.

"She has no role in this, in fact, she's been vice president for three and a half years, I've dealt with a number of storms under this administration, she's never contributed anything to any of these efforts."

That wasn’t the first time. It’s called the “second” temple because it replaced Solomon’s temple, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians six centuries earlier.

Presidential campaigns are as much about policy as they are about marketing. What a candidate says and how they say it—especially when understood in context—can define their personality.
On Saturday, President Trump's team put on a master class in presidential campaigning by combining his raw talent for holding rallies with explosive confidence and an injection of creative genius in choreography.

New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process.
With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray.

Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump.
Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%.

Kamala is a good-for-nothing on at least three levels.
First: she is literally “good for nothing.”
Her career is littered with failures. Even a distinguished black journalist dared to observe, at great professional peril, her “failing up” the career ladder. Craig J. DeLuz, writing for the Washington Times, bravely concedes that, “An elected official with a track record of failure spanning her entire political career, Harris has consistently been rewarded with promotions by left-leaning voters.”
Among her many inadequacies, Mr. DeLuz notes that Kamala was the most left-leaning member of the Senate, all the while achieving the following – nothing.
Palestinians have a custom of celebrating in the streets every time Israel is attacked or a Jew is murdered by terrorists.
It is hard, if not impossible, to find one senior Palestinian official who is willing to criticize his own people for celebrating terrorist attacks.

Palestinian leaders have good reason not to speak out: they are afraid of being killed by their own people.

There's a reason that they haven't been putting Kamala Harris out there to do interviews. But I think they're so desperate to move the numbers that they've had to put her and Trim Walz out there. But as we've seen in her 60 minutes in the clips we've seen already, it didn't go well. The first clips they released were about Israel and the Gaza war. Kamala gave a ridiculous word salad answer and she also managed to throw Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under the bus. She wouldn't even say that Bibi or the state of Israel was an ally.
Kamala Harris’ interview on CBS News was a total disaster. That’s an evergreen statement, but you knew it would end poorly. Folks, her spot on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the most effortless media hit of all time, was a tangled mess. Now, sitting across from Bill Whitaker, the seasoned journalist asked run-of-the-mill questions, and this woman imploded (again). It’s not like Democrats didn’t know this about Kamala, who has been a five-alarm fire every time she tried to do a solo interview before Joe Biden’s mind melted on national television last June.

We have spent a lot of time over the years discussing the never ending awfulness of the people in the mainstream media who call themselves journalists. Bias for the Democrats has been a problem since I have been politically aware, which has been quite some time. Of course, they've all gotten worse since Donald Trump rose to power in the Republican Party.
When former President Barack Obama comes to Pittsburgh on Thursday to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris in the home stretch for next month's election, he will be returning to a very different western Pennsylvania from the one he won robustly in 2008 and less so in 2012. In 2008, Obama ran on a message of aspiration, using a slogan of hope and change to create a coalition of working-class white people long part of the New Deal Democrats, minorities, young people and educated professionals.
In that race against Republican John McCain, he won 18 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties.
One year ago, I woke up to multiple text messages telling me there was an attack in Israel. I checked the news and like most people could not believe what I was seeing, texting a friend saying, “They even overran an army base.” Little did I know this was just scratching the surface of the devastation, murder, and evil unleashed that day.
Although it shocked me and the rest of the world, it really shouldn’t have. The population of Gaza is raised from childhood to hate Israel, and all Hamas had to do was amass an irregular militia made up of fewer than 1% of Gaza’s military aged males to launch
The fundamental problem with Kamala Harris’s campaign promises is that she has served as vice president of the United States for nearly four years. All those things she is out on the campaign trail pledging to do — well, what has she been doing since Jan. 20, 2021? “She just started by saying she’s going to do this, she’s going to do that, she’s going to do all these wonderful things,” former President Donald Trump said at the debate with Harris last month. “Why hasn’t she done it? She’s been there for 3 1/2 years.”
That’s one part of the Harris problem: She’s trying to run as a newcomer when,
Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida on Monday for reportedly not taking her calls regarding federal storm relief efforts as a second powerful hurricane bears down on Florida. "People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations…is just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish," Harris charged on Monday. "It is about political gamesmanship, instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first."
Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall in Florida as a Category 5 hurricane on Wednesday morning - and it's expected to be even worse than Helene.
Six million residents are under hurricane watch warnings and many have been ordered to evacuate as 'life-threatening' fifteen-foot-high storm surges and winds of up to 175mph barrel in.
The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay has said that 'if the storm stays on the current track, it will be the worst storm to impact the Tampa area in over 100 years.' Mayor Jane Castor has warned the city's nearly 400,000 residents that if they don't evacuate, 'you are going to die.'
SWANNANOA, North Carolina — Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together.
The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision.
“Who’s FEMA?” ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency’s presence on the ground since the deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state.(Photo) “This disaster has definitively proven without a shadow of a doubt FEMA’s incompetence and incapability,” he said, noting that the agency
The election momentum lately appears to be moving back in the direction of former President Donald Trump.
I wrote last week about the swing state polling from Insider Advantage/Trafalgar that had Trump up in every swing state except Georgia, where it was tied. On top of that was surprising polling from Ipsos, which tends to undercount Trump support and now has him up by 1 percent in the battleground states.
Trump has also jumped four points in a new Yahoo/YouGov poll. The poll is now tied on the national vote. In 2020, it had Joe Biden up by 10 points. In 2016, Economist/YouGov had Hillary Clinton up 4 points right

Someone leaked to the Telegraph a “regime policy planning document” written for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. It relates to the possibility that Donald Trump may once again be the U.S. President:
Iran is plotting to infiltrate Donald Trump’s team amid fears he could topple its regime, according to a secret dossier.
The Telegraph has obtained a regime policy planning document which reveals Tehran’s five-point strategy to woo figures close to the Republican candidate’s camp in an attempt to soften his stance on the Islamic Republic.
