Tens of thousands of evangelical Christians gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Saturday to pray for America’s atonement and for Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Organizers of the event, billed “A Million Women,” described the gathering--and next month’s presidential election--as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness. For hours, the gathered masses sang worship songs, waved flags symbolizing their belief that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and prayed aloud for Jesus to intercede on behalf of Trump in November.

Pop quiz, hotshot: You just stole the Democrats’ presidential nomination from a dementia-addled nursing home patient without receiving a single vote from the electorate and while having the lowest approval rating of any modern veep. Despite the nonstop efforts of corporate news propagandists to anoint you as a deserving heir, Americans rightly see you as a fake, foolish, insecure, insignificant, boozy, Canadian flop who has no business being behind the wheel of an automobile, let alone taking charge of a nuclear arsenal as commander-in-chief.
The Florida dog whose image went viral after he was left trapped on the side of a highway ahead of Hurricane Milton was rescued and placed in foster care, a Tallahassee humane society announced in a happy update.
The Tampa office for Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) shared the upsetting story on Wednesday, posting a clip of the dog with his collar tied to a fence off of I-75, standing in chest-deep water: [Tweet, video]
“Do NOT do this to your pets please,” FHP officials wrote alongside the sad video, which garnered over 11.6 million views and thousands of comments shaming the unidentified owner of the dog.
The Georgia judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s election interference case dropped two counts against Trump on Thursday, according to multiple outlets, though the former president still faces eight charges including a violation of Georgia’s racketeering act. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled state prosecutors lacked the authority to bring one count of filing false documents and one count of conspiring to file false documents against Trump, CNN reported.
Trump’s initial 13 charges have now been reduced to eight, which include his racketeering charge, conspiring to impersonate a public officer and conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree.
Hamas planned a full-scale invasion of Israel on a much larger scale than the October 7 terror attacks, according to Israeli security officials.
A chilling 36-page document produced by the terror group reveals detailed plans to strike Israel by land, sea and air, and bomb three of Israel's tallest skyscrapers in a 9/11-style attack that would 'create an unprecedented crisis for the enemy, similar to the World Trade Center crisis in New York'.
The blueprint, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, details how Hamas intended to mobilise the Palestinian population to attack Israel to bring 'victory, beating fear into the hearts of our enemies'.
Suffs, the feminist Broadway musical that counts Hillary Clinton as one of its main producers, is officially a box-office bomb, with the show announcing a closing date after reportedly failing to turn a profit after nearly six months.
The musical — a nearly three-hour celebration of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender “non-binary” performers — cost $19 million to produce, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing reviewed by the New York Times. That money has not been recouped, with ticket revenue failing to cover the weekly cost of operations.
Producers announced Friday that Suffs will close January 5 —
People keep asking me why Arab American citizens are moving toward voting for Trump. My answer? They are already Trump supporters – and enthusiastic ones. But they aren’t registered to vote and keep telling us they don’t know where or how to vote.
My husband and I started the Conservative American Middle Eastern PAC – or CAM PAC – in October 2024 after a Trump supporting friend told us how much he was hurting financially but that he still wasn’t registered to vote. Seeing this gap in Republican outreach to register Middle Eastern Americans, we couldn’t wait for someone else to solve the problem.

A Democrat candidate for the North Carolina House was arrested and charged after being seen removing campaign signs for former President Donald Trump.
Lowell Simon, who serves as the head of the Democrat Party in Moore County, admitted he had “removed” the Trump signs on Thursday evening, and acknowledged that he “shouldn’t have done that,” according to WRAL News.
“My worse angels got the better of me and I removed the signs,” Simon admitted in a statement. “I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t do it in the stealth of night or anything. I did it when it was five o’clock in the afternoon.”
As President Trump takes the lead in several key swing states with just a few weeks left before the general election, liberals are starting to panic and becoming more deranged. Fox News’s Jessica Tarlov is no exception.
As TGP readers know, Tarlov is one of the most noxious leftists in the media landscape who never fails to slander Trump and excuse Democrat shenanigans. “The Five” co-host was even forced to issue a humiliating on-air correction about former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski after his lawyer threatened a lawsuit.
Tarlov appeared on Friday night to discuss the race between Trump and Harris.

President Trump will take the stage at his rally in Coachella, California, tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
This comes after Trump delivered remarks at rallies in Aurora, Colorado, and Reno, Nevada, on Friday. Trump also participated in a Hispanic Roundtable event this afternoon in Las Vegas.
Tomorrow, President Trump will return to the great state of Arizona to speak in Prescott Valley before returning back East for a Town Hall event Monday in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, thousands of supporters turned out early in the morning before sunrise to see President Trump speak at 5 pm local time.
And the crowd has only grown since.
Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are trying to paint themselves as "change agents," which is a pretty tough trick given that Harris is in power now. Not only has she not solved the problems or produced results for the American people, but she's actively made the situation worse in regard to inflation and illegal immigration by doing away with the security former President Donald Trump had in place at the border and voting for more spending that helped drive up prices.But then when she was asked on "The View" what she would have done differently from Joe Biden, she couldn't even give an answer.
Fifteen Medal of Honor recipients have endorsed Donald Trump for president and issued a long list of reasons why. They also appeared to take a shot at Democrat nominee Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, writing: “fabricating military service is beneath the dignity of a veteran and demeaning to those who have served honorably in the Armed Forces."
Ouch.
“We believe in that American citizenship is a revered privilege, the honorees wrote. Their conclusion: ”We believe in Donald Trump.”
JD Vance continues to walk into the lion's den, doing one confrontational interview after another with various mainstream press outlets. The latest occurred in a sitdown with The New York Times, where Vance was peppered with questions about his views on illegal immigration.
During a discussion on the topic, Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro brought out an old mainstay among those who support illegal immigration, telling the vice presidential nominee that deportations can't happen because illegal immigrants are needed to build houses. Vance quickly turned the tables on her, though.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman ripped into the Biden-Harris administration Friday, posting to X (formerly known as Twitter) 33 “catalysts” for his “losing total confidence” in the Democratic Party.
Ackman formally endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump hours after the former president survived an assassination attempt at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Many of Ackman’s friends and his family were “surprised” by the endorsement, he wrote on X, taking the opportunity to dismiss claims he wanted financial benefits or a role in a potential Trump administration.
Black voters in the U.S. have shifted support away from Democrats from 2016 to 2024, the most recent New York Times/Siena Poll shows.
During the 2016 election, only 7% of black voters favored Republicans, which is a stark contrast to recent 2024 polling results, which show support for Republicans among black voters rose to 15%, according to The New York Times. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris grabbed 75% of support from black voters, however, former President and Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump reached 16%, which is a staggering 9% increase from 2020, according to September data from the Howard University Initiative on Public Opinion.
President Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), sat down this week for an interview with the far-left New York Times and proved once again why selecting him was one of the best decisions Trump ever made.
The paper released footage of the interview on Friday, and what followed was yet another mastery of the failing corporate media by Vance. While the discussion was ostensibly about the current presidential campaign, ‘reporter’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro determined to force Vance to answer whether Trump ”lost’ the 2020 presidential election to create chaos within the Trump campaign and fracture Vance’s relationship with the 45th president.
I think Kamala Harris would be a horrible person to put in office. I don't even think she should be occupying the office she's in now. (Snip) But I have to admit, when I saw Tim Walz trying to load his gun during his pheasant hunt in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, on Saturday, I did have an "OMG" moment. I was concerned for his safety and the safety of the people around him because of the trouble he was having just to try to load it. Has he ever used this gun before? Shades of Elmer Fudd.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who is still auditioning to become the next AOC, went on an unhinged rant during an appearance on MSNBC, claiming the streets of Springfield, Ohio, are being overrun by gangs of MAGA white supremacists or something.
On Saturday’s episode of “Velshi,” Crockett, who is also the Harris-Walz campaign’s co-chair, claimed that former President Donald Trump and “his minions” are somehow responsible for the problems in Springfield, which garnered national attention due to the impact of a deluge of migrants coming into the city.
She said the former president is the cause of issues the city is facing, not “people that have come to make our economy stronger,
During Donald Trump's first term he displayed a good capacity for keeping violent aggressors, both domestically and abroad, in check. Not so with the Biden/Harris administration. Unknown to most Democrats, compared to Trump’s administration, the U.S. has suffered an increase in mass shootings, a rise in mass murders, and an increase in school children murdered during the Biden/Harris administration.
So, why would anyone want to continue with Kamala Harris, given the disastrous record of the Biden/Harris administration domestically, let alone around the globe?

On the world stage, Donald Trump was vigilant.
Conservative activist Scott Presler revealed during an interview with Morning Wire why he believes former President Donald Trump will win the vital battleground state of Pennsylvania in the 2024 election.
Presler, the head of Early Vote Action PAC, has been effectively leading grassroots efforts in Pennsylvania to register people to vote, taking aim at Amish residents and hunters, in particular, who are generally conservative and have low rates of voter turnout.
“Let’s talk about the data for a second and why I think, objectively, we’re in the best place to win Pennsylvania [compared to] four or even eight years ago,” Presler told Morning Wire.

America is more dangerous because Border Czar Kamala Harris abdicated her responsibilities. Aided and abetted by President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, more than 13,000 murderers, 17,000 convicted or charged sex offenders, and hundreds of thousands of convicted criminals are wandering free in the United States.
In response, this failed lifetime politico wants to actually fall up, into the presidency of the United States of America. To show how insincere she is in solving the border security crisis, Kamala went to the border for a photo op.

At a rally in Arizona this week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who is Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, said that he supports mass amnesty for illegal aliens.
There are tens of millions of illegals who live in the United States who crossed illegally in border states, like Arizona.
“This is what you want and this is what we know. To enact an earned pathway to citizenship to those who’ve lived in this country for years,” Walz said at the rally as the audience cheered.
“This issue should not divide us, it should unite us,” he added.
An Afghan refugee in Oklahoma City was just caught plotting an Election Day jihad massacre. The Justice Department announced this on Tuesday, and there was no reason to doubt it. After all, Afghanistan is a hotbed of jihad.
The accused perpetrator, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, got into the United States on a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), which is only issued to people who aided American forces while they were in that country, so he might have been assumed not to be a jihadi. Still, he could have been practicing Muhammad’s dictum “War is deceit.” [SNIP] He worked for the CIA, which casts doubt upon every other aspect of this story.
“I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.
Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”.
Hala Hijazi was there for all of Kamala’s races, raising money for her Senate campaign, promoting an event co-hosted by Willie Brown.
As Florida and North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene and Milton, concerns about how voters will access the polls heighten.
Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) is urging voters to begin making plans for how they will vote, with the election being only three weeks away, millions of people still without power, and many with no reliable source of transportation. In Florida, Hurricane Helene tore through the state, resulting in billions of dollars of destruction and more than 230 people dead.
“There will likely be some people out there that, for one reason or another, will not be able to exercise their most important constitutional right,” Edwards said.
Now that President Joe Biden’s political career is officially over, Hunter Biden must find a new way to profit himself, given that his family can no longer peddle money from shady foreign businesses and his so-called “art” deals.
According to experts in the art industry, Hunter Biden’s art career is a thing of the past. Now that the president’s time in the District of Corruption is over, so is his son’s shady art business.
“His father is no longer relevant in the maelstrom, which is politics,” Charlie Horne, president of Gurr Johns, an art valuation and advisory firm, told the outlet.

In every election there are moments, some obvious at the time, some less so, that shape the state of the race, leaving public opinion on the ground, and eventually in the polls, very different from how they found it. This year is no exception and since the contest hit the final stretch under early September skies, there are five events -- twists in the road -- that have led to the general sense of panic we see among Democrats, and renewed confidence for the Republicans. It is worth remembering that at the end of August, Kamala Harris was firmly leading, Donald Trump was being bashed, even
You've no doubt heard the phrase, "Nero fiddled while Rome burned." America isn't exactly burning, but millions of our fellow citizens are suffering from a series of disasters − natural and human-made.

Univision hosted a “Latinos Ask” town hall with Kamala Harris on Thursday night, and it was about as airheaded and disingenuous as you’d expect. Here was one word salad from the first five minutes — remarkably in response to a question about the two hurricanes that just decimated the southeast of the country:

The White House released Vice President Kamala Harris’ medical report on Saturday, which conveniently claims she is in “perfect health” to serve as the commander-in-chief.The report states that Harris “Possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.”
“Vice President Harris remains in excellent health,” Army physician Dr. Joshua R. Simmons wrote. "She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief."
The leftist journalists at ProPublica pose as "A Pulitzer-winning, non-profit newsroom focused on investigative journalism in the public interest." But that journalism tends to rip conservatives as a danger to America.

Kamala Harris is profoundly bad at telling stories. But to watch her whirlwind press tour this week — a tour that only hit sympathetic outlets — was to be told that, despite our own eyes and ears, she is the smartest, strongest, most capable leader since Lincoln.

Just the other day, Tim Walz stated explicitly that America needs to end the Electoral College. Although the campaign quickly walked this back, the reality is that he was speaking for most Democrats.

Equality under the law is the bulwark of any free democratic nation that operates under the rule of law and values liberty and justice for all. This includes making the value of votes as equal as possible across a vast country. The U.S. Constitution’s Framers brought this concept as close to perfection as possible.
The disaster in North Carolina continues to instruct, the primary take-away being that the government is malignant beyond our imagination and people are going to have to save themselves. The Appalachias are filled with the most degraded and outcast of human ethnic groups - one of them being my aboriginal tribe, the desperate clans of the Scottish/English border - and all of them vote, over and over again, for not-socialist-oppression because the State sends its stupidest most heartless crusader lefties to “help” Appalachia, and then allows vulture-corporations to ride roughshod. Appalachia is rich, in not just coal, but the power for a new century, with lithium and quartz crystal.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign played a video at a rally earlier this week in Pennsylvania that slammed wokeness in the United States military under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and called for making “our military great again.”

The most recent example is them dragging out Barack Obama to help Kamala in Pittsburgh. It showed how desperate they are. Even Obama admits there isn't the same enthusiasm that there had been for him. He blames black male voters -- the "brothas"-- and suggests they have a problem with Harris because she is a woman.

The U.S. on Friday announced new sanctions on Iran’s energy sector in response to its Oct. 1 attack on Israel when it fired roughly 180 missiles into the country.
Iran said the barrage was retaliation for a series of devastating blows Israel has landed in recent weeks against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has been firing rockets into Israel since the war in Gaza began.
Included in Friday’s sanctions are blocks on Iran’s so-called “ghost fleet” of ships and associated firms that span the United Arab Emirates, Liberia, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions that allegedly obfuscate and transport Iranian oil for sale to buyers in Asia.
Revolutionary Guards commander Esmail Qaani, commanding officer of Iran's crack Quds Force, has not been seen in public since the September 27 air strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Media sources in the Middle East have conflicting accounts of General Qaani's whereabouts. However, several sources report that he's under investigation for his ties to Israel. The Arabic-language al-Arabiya network reported that Mr. Qaani “is under surveillance and isolation, following the Israeli assassinations of prominent Iranian leaders.” Another report from Sky News says that Qaani suffered a heart attack while being questioned about the recent spate of intelligence failures in Iran.

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men reluctant to support Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, suggesting some aren't rallying behind her because she is a woman.
Obama's stern remarks, delivered to supporters at a Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh, came as polling shows former President Donald Trump, the Republican 2024 nominee, has made slight inroads with Black males, particularly young Black men. Democrats also worry about signs of lagging Black turnout next month even as the country could elect the first Black woman president in U.S. history.
Nearly 450 7-Eleven stores across North America are closing for underperforming, according to the company. Seven & I Holdings, 7-Eleven’s Japan-based parent company, announced in an earnings report Thursday that 444 7-Eleven stores are closing because of a dip in sales, particularly cigarette sales, as well as decreased traffic and inflation. A list of which stores will be closing was not released. 7-Eleven has 13,000 stores across the U.S. and Canada, which means the closures would only impact 3% of the company’s portfolio.
The convenience store chain has faced six consecutive months of traffic declines, including a 7.3% dip in August.

Between 2017 and 2019, just about the only story Washington cared about was whether Donald Trump would be nailed by the Justice Department for treason. After all, he had worked with Vladimir Putin and his cronies to win the White House, hadn’t he? And yet, at the end of a three-year investigation into this supposed collusion, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team charged no American with conspiring with Russia to influence the election. His final report said the investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
Former President Obama is drawing backlash for recent comments calling on Black men to turn out for Vice President Harris in November’s election.
At a campaign stump for Harris on Thursday in Pittsburgh, Obama said that despite Harris raising upward of $1 billion, “we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running.” That lag in energy, he added, appears “to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

Democratic elitists have a habit of disregarding your legitimate concerns, refusing to address your questions and shaming you into giving them your support.
With identity politics at the forefront of the Democratic Party strategy, they’ve now drafted Barack Obama to enforce demographic-specific shaming tactics. The target of harassment: black men.

Meanwhile, as our Teri Christoph points out, the glamour puff-piece comes out even as bodies are still being recovered in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This is leadership?
Mark Cuban blasted Elon Musk for appearing at a Trump rally – but he was distinctly in the minority in one of his elite group chats, The Post has learned.
The billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner is a members of an exclusive chat group on Signal populated by bigwigs from both the right and left, where members have been fixated on Elon’s involvement with Trump’s campaign.
One notable ally for Musk in the group is Vivek Ramaswamy who called out “Shark Tank” star Cuban – who has thrown his weight behind Kamala Harris for president – after he posted a message to Musk on X telling him not to trust Trump
Wildly popular podcast host Joe Rogan is seemingly set to sit down with former president Donald Trump as the race for the White House enters its final few weeks.
The 57-year-old comedian and UFC commentator had previously said in 2022 that he would never have Trump on his podcast over fears it would help the Republican's campaign.
In recent times however, Rogan has somewhat changed his tune on having trump on his highly popular show 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. In a episode alongside Guest Patrick Bet-David last August, Rogan was asked when he would have Trump on. He casually responded 'I don't know'.
The education budgets for America’s small towns and states are skyrocketing as the huge wave of of the Biden-Harris administration’s migrant children are diverted into American primary schools.
As these migrants flood into public schools, administrators are shifting more budget dollars towards dealing with children who speak a dozen different languages, and some who have had little or no education in their home countries before they came to the U.S., and this shift of budget dollars necessarily takes resources away from native students.

President Joe Biden held a presser on Thursday to discuss ongoing efforts to help those communities and people impacted by Hurricanes Milton and Helene.
During this presser, which was less than seven minutes long, he took some questions from reporters. Among those questions was whether he had any contact with former President Donald Trump regarding the relief efforts. This appeared to set off Biden, who responded, “Are you kidding me?” before demanding “Mr. President Trump- former President Trump, get a life, man. Help these people.”
An alleged apartment takeover by Venezuelan gang members in Colorado has elevated the issue of migrant crime, and viral video capture by an Aurora apartment tenant has refuted attempts by politicians and establishment media to downplay or deny the threat.
Cindy Romero, whose videos of armed members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang patrolling her Aurora, Colorado apartment building made international news, spoke exclusively with Breitbart News before Donald Trump’s Friday rally in Aurora – a city Trump has called a “war zone” due to the influx of migrant criminals.
She described her chilling experience with gang members “patrolling the area with guns, changing the locks on the buildings,
We can see signs of the Democratic freak-out going on all around us, as they start to realize that maybe trading Joe Biden out for Kamala Harris wasn't the best idea.
The most recent example is them dragging out Barack Obama to help Kamala in Pittsburgh. It showed how desperate they are. Even Obama admits there isn't the same enthusiasm that there had been for him. He blames black male voters -- the "brothas"-- and suggests they have a problem with Harris because she is a woman.
You don't start looking for excuses like that unless you think that your side is losing or in trouble.
Advantage, Vance
replies
In the early days after Tim Walz and JD Vance were announced as vice presidential candidates, Walz scored higher approval ratings. Neither man was broadly familiar to the public, so that was an artifact of biased press coverage.
But in the aftermath of Vance’s crushing debate victory, public opinion has shifted. Rasmussen finds Vance with a positive approval rating, 50% favorable to 42% unfavorable. Walz is under water, at 42% favorable and 44% unfavorable.
Most respondents, of course, are just sticking up for their party, so Vance’s edge no doubt represents an even more significant gulf in public perception
The Biden-Harris administration reportedly colluded with foreign government entities in silencing Americans’ free speech, and one congresswoman has had enough. According to documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) in September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) took advice from UK government censors on how best to crush speech. The shocking documents came amid Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) campaign to defund foreign censorship and prevent domestic election interference by suppressing speech. They also come after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to censoring COVID-19 speech after government pressure. As alleged by AFL, the Biden White House hosted the UK government Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU),
California’s Bay Area has reissued a limited mask mandate as COVID-19 and flu cases are rising.
The San Fransisco Chronicle reported that the limited mask mandate would require masks to be worn in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities.
The Bay Area counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Napa issued the mandate.
The mandate will officially go into effect on November 1 and last through March 2025. [Tweet]
Per KTVU:
Mask mandates are returning to health care settings in several Bay Area counties as an increase in COVID-19 cases overlaps with the cold and flu season.
Elon Musk’s tweets about the presidential election and spreading falsehoods about Hurricane Helene are endangering his ability to launch rockets off California’s central coast.
The California Coastal Commission on Thursday rejected the Air Force’s plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County. “Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet,” Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego.

Who Supported Tim Walz in the Past Now
Flipping to Trump replies
Many voters in rural Minnesota who have voted for Tim Walz in the past may now be going MAGA, according to recent reportage.
Is it possible that they have been turned off by Walz’s bizarre performance as Kamala’s running mate or are they just sick of the Biden/Harris economy like so many other Americans?
Either way, if Trump somehow manages to win Minnesota this year, the left will have a meltdown to end all meltdowns. It would also be a huge embarrassment to the Harris/Walz ticket, considering that Walz is the sitting governor of the state.

Former President Trump is expected to reveal details of his "Operation Aurora" program during a rally in Colorado on Friday afternoon. The federal-level program would remove "every illegal migrant criminal network operating on American soil," including illegal alien members of the dangerous Venezuelan street gang, Tren de Aragua, a senior Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital.
As the New York Post exclusively reported in late September, the vicious gang lures desperate women deep into the US, "forcing them to sell their bodies on the streets of American cities to pay off exorbitant smuggling fees," a newly leaked law enforcement document reveals.
Former Georgia candidate for U.S. Senate Herschel Walker blasted Barack Obama for sending black people backward in equality by demanding they vote based on skin color.
Walker’s slam against Obama came after the former president warned that not enough black people — especially black men — are supporting Harris, according to the current polls.“Barack Obama, you forgot how hard we fought for our right to vote! Telling us how to vote based on color is a step backward. The bad policies of Biden/Harris have hurt us all. We need unity brother, not division!” Walker wrote, adding #Togetherwestand. (X)
Kamala Harris is on a "media blitz" because her numbers are slipping. Badly.
This is about the 18th version of Kamala Harris--she "reboots" so regularly because she is no good at this campaigning thing... I'm pretty sure her internal polls show worse numbers than that.
The blitz is not going well at all, unfortunately for her (or Tim Walz, who just had a disastrous interview on Good Morning America). The latest clusterfark for Kamala was her Univision "town hall," during which she gave the same canned answers she always does, and as a result, I think you can rest assured that her poor performance with Latinos is about to
