The top 5 twists that put Trump back in command
Posted By: Moritz55, 10/12/2024 5:25:22 PM
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

The 4 reasons Harris is losing
2 replies
I have spoken with three Democratic operatives behind the scenes who all believe the race is slipping away from Vice President Kamala Harris. They offer four major reasons why this is happening.
The first is Harris herself. She is simply not a very good candidate. She lacks confidence and is seemingly terrified to take any unrehearsed or unvetted policy questions. This liability is not a surprise to those who follow politics closely, but is a new concern for a number of voters. This unsteadiness and insecurity were initially on display when she was the first candidate to embarrassingly flame out of the 2020 presidential primary. Now, in a deja vu moment
You never know what you will hear from former President Donald Trump. He’s notorious for riffing and losing track of his teleprompter.
His speech Thursday at the Detroit Economic Club, which I attended, was no different. Trump stretched what could have easily been a 30-minute automotive-related policy speech into a two-hour event that covered a lot of ground. Yet, the members of the elite Detroit club, composed of business and other community leaders, seemed to thoroughly enjoy what they heard. They told me as much afterward.
The roughly 1,000 attendees applauded throughout and laughed at Trump’s jokes. And they appreciated what he said about protecting U.S. jobs and creating
This week, Elton John publicly renounced the Rocket Man — no, not the 1972 song, but Elon Musk, whom he called an “a**hole” in an awards ceremony.
Sir Elton, 77, is only the latest among celebrities and pundits to denounce Musk for his support of former president Donald Trump and his opposition to censorship. Musk-mania is so overwhelming that some are calling for his arrest, deportation and debarment from federal contracts.

"Saturday Night Live" (SNL) mocked Vice President Kamala Harris again on Saturday during a "Family Feud" skit that took aim at the Democratic presidential candidate's interview responses and her stories about her background and growing up in a middle class family. Kenan Thompson, who played "Family Feud" host Steve Harvey in the skit, asked Maya Rudolph, who has appeared as Harris over the last few weeks, why she wasn't winning in a landslide. Rudolph responded, "That’s a question I scream into my pillow every morning."
Thompson's first "Family Feud" question asked his contestants to name something that people would keep in a glove box.

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.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, meanwhile, spent a significant part of the past week discussing Doritos and naps with shock jock Howard Stern, vibing and drinking beer on air with comedian Stephen Colbert and fielding questions from those hard-hitting journalists who host "The View." While Harris yapped with Stern, thousands of citizens in western North Carolina, recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, tried to cope without running water and electricity. Millions
CBS journalists need Race and Culture

Unit approval for ‘basically every story,’
former staffer says 11 replies
CBS News’ Race and Culture Unit needs to sign off on show scripts that could potentially offend particular viewers, according to a former staffer with knowledge of the process.
A former CBS employee told Fox News Digital the broadcast network's Race and Culture Unit vetted "basically every story" that could potentially be considered culturally sensitive.
The former employee said show producers were "required" to send drafts of show scripts to an email chain with members of the Race and Culture Unit as well as the standards and practices unit and could only proceed if they signed off.
I know the conventional wisdom is that this election is too close to call. And it is. Predictions on the outcome are little better than guesses.
Still, this is Washington. And while prognostications in U.S. politics is fraught with risk, it doesn’t stop most of us — even though we know that, if you are right, nobody cares, and if you are wrong, it goes on your Wikipedia page forever. Predictions are pedestrian, oftentimes biased, and generally uninteresting. But the reasoning behind them might occasionally offer something of value.
So, here’s the uninteresting part: I think that Donald Trump is going to win.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments about owning a “Glock” are proving to be, more than just a short-lived embarrassment, a microcosm of the problem plaguing her candidacy. Like other failed campaigns before, Harris’ camp seems to believe the public can be hoodwinked with prepared lines and ads and images that are at odds with the candidate’s record and identity.
“Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Harris said on stage in Philadelphia last month during her debate with Donald Trump. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away.”
After halting donations to his alma mater last year, a former University of Pennsylvania donor has redirected $5 million to Israeli universities instead, citing the Ivy League institution's refusal to address antisemitism on campus. David Magerman, a venture capitalist and philanthropist, has reallocated millions in donations to universities in Israel after witnessing the anti-Israel protests and antisemitism that has permeated U.S. college campuses in the months following October 7, he told Fox News Digital.
Magerman said he will give $1 million grants to five institutions of higher learning across Israel
A video showing Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D., feeding a kneeling "feminist" podcast host a Doritos chip while wearing a Harris/Walz cameo campaign hat, prompted questions and criticisms on Thursday.
Author and filmmaker Liz Plank shared the video on her Instagram account "feministabulous" showing Whitmer feeding her a Doritos chip while she is kneeling.
"If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will," a caption under the Instagram video post reads. "Chips aren’t just delicious, the CHIPS Act is a game-changer for U.S. tech and manufacturing, boosting domestic production of semiconductors to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers! Donald Trump would put that at risk."
If former President Donald Trump wins a second term in November, his triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania — the site of the first assassination attempt he survived thanks to a fortuitous head turn — could be what puts him back into the White House.
The second Butler rally was a revival, in multiple definitions of the word. It was an improvement. A return. A religious gathering, highlighted by deep excitement. There was opera singer Christopher Macchio on hand to belt out beautiful renditions of “Ave Maria” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” There was a touching tribute to Corey Comperatore, the Trump supporter who was killed at the July rally. And

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 —
I swear to God that this is not about polls, although that Quinnipiac poll on Wednesday shook me up a little. And I understand that it’s hard to determine anything real with all the smoke and noise surrounding the campaign right now. And I also understand that a good fraction of my fellow citizens will believe anything they pick up while Doing Their Own Research on the Intertoobz. And I also understand that a larger fraction of my fellow citizens have surrendered to the Cult of the Vulgar Talking Yam.
Memphis, Tennessee, once known for its blues, soul and rock 'n' roll music, has now turned into a haven for crime and drug abuse.
A study by WalletHub has named the Southern city the most dangerous city to live in America among the 182 cities surveyed.
The United States Department of Justice also declared that this once-flourishing metro has the highest number of homicides - 129 in the first half of 2024.
Apart from this, 167 rapes, 1,028 robberies and 3,763 incidents of aggravated assault were reported in the first half of 2024 in Memphis.
This cultural hotspot also has a crime rate of 98 incidents per 1,000 residents
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."
Kamala Harris Is Too Stupid To Be President

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:
Leadership is about understanding the importance of lifting people up, understanding that the character of our country is such that we are a people who have ambitions and aspirations, dreams, goals for ourselves and our families, (snip)That’s a lot of ambitions. After one voter observed that Harris was never elected to be the Democrat nominee but just magically
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.
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.”
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses; I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think -
On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Harris-Walz Campaign Co-Chair Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said that the problems in Springfield, OH are 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump “and his minions, the problems aren’t the people that have come to make our economy stronger, the people that have actually been able to help to continue to make sure that we got out of the big hole that he put us in after COVID-19 with his ineptness.”
Harris-Walz Burlesque

I’m so old I remember when we learned about advertising fakery by ordering stuff like sea horses and x-ray vision glasses from the back of comic books. Younger generations caught on when they compared what they’d seen in the TV ads with the actual products. For voters this time around all they have to do is scan X online. The sea horse ads were better fakes than the Harris-Walz team is churning out. Of course, there is the candidates’ utter failure in public appearances -- such as they are -- to show Harris-Walz viewers that they are phony, unserious contenders for the highest offices in the land.

The 2025 Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, 2025, has been designated a National Special Security Event by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
This marks the first time a National Special Security Event designation has been granted for a Certification of Electoral Votes and follows a request made by the DC Mayor to designate this event a National Special Security Event. Various reports including from the House Select January 6 Committee and the Government Accountability Office also called for the DHS Secretary to consider a National Special Security Event designation for future Certification of Electoral Votes.
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.
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.
