Larger Problem replies
In the landscape of American political journalism, a troubling trend has emerged this election season: the selective editing of the news. The latest case study comes courtesy of “60 Minutes” of CBS News, whose apparent need to repackage Vice President Kamala Harris’ words into a neatly clipped soundbite is raising skepticism about the intent behind it. What makes the whole thing even more troubling is that they’ve withheld the full, unedited transcript of Kamala’s interview. They should have released it not because the Trump campaign labeled it “deceptively edited,” but because journalistic ethics demanded nothing less
One of the few bright lights on the channel formerly known as the Clinton News Network has been conservative strategist and Trump supporter Scott Jennings. Time and again, he has gone into the lion’s den to take on deranged leftists.
On Sunday morning, Jennings was brought on CNN’s State of the Union program to discuss the state of the presidential race. As TGP readers know, Kamala Harris has had one of her worst weeks as a candidate, and Tim Walz’s comical efforts to make himself relatable have only made things worse.
Jennings began by mocking the Harris-Walz campaign’s difficult week, pointing out the unfavorable headlines, Harris’s falling poll numbers,
In endorsing Kamala Harris, The New York Times said many strange things, starting with the headline. It called Harris “The only patriotic choice for president.”
Color me curious because the Times frowns on anyone who identifies as an American patriot. The Gray Lady’s knees jerk at a word it associates with being a white racist who has a blue collar job and lives in a fly-over state. (Photo) For the snooty jet set, patriotism is for suckers and Donald Trump supporters.
Yet here is the Times draping Harris in red, white and blue. It’s as phony as her claim that she’s “fighting” for the middle class.
The weird vibe grew weirder because
A friend and business partner of the alleged third would-be Trump assassin Vem Miller has spoken out – telling DailyMail.com he is a full-blown Trump supporter and slamming police for 'not understanding he's one of us'.
Right-wing documentarian Mindy Robinson said Miller has been a MAGA activist for years, had no intention of killing the former president, and said she has been to several pro-Trump events with him.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Robinson described Miller as a journalist and documentarian.
In a move that should surprise no one considering that the Biden-Harris regime has treated the Border Patrol like dirt, the National Border Patrol Council announced Sunday at a campaign rally in Prescott, Arizona, that they were throwing their support behind Donald Trump. Union president Paul Perez minced no words as he eviscerated Kamala Harris for her utter failure to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country:
If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell. The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country

There was a special focus by GOP vice presidential nominee, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) at a campaign event in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday; since it was held at a manufacturing company that supplies the U.S. military. He brought up not only the shoddy way the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has treated vets in the wake of the porous Southern border crisis, but that the botched U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan remains a shameful and telling legacy of the sitting vice president's ongoing negligence.
Vance spoke to supporters "at JWF Industries, which supplies "Department of Defense prime contractors with reliable, on-time fabrications and sub-assemblies,' according to its site".

Dennis Quaid, renowned actor and star of the recent film "Reagan," said everything we could have wanted him to at the Trump rally in Coachella, California, on Saturday. His speech was a breath of fresh air coming from Hollywood, and he articulated what many Americans see clearly.
He didn't waste time getting straight to the point of why this election matters, and he charged Americans to get off the sidelines and be decisive about the future they want for our country.
I'm here today to tell you, that it’s time to pick a side. Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution, or for TikTok?
A former Navy Seabee and member of President Donald J. Trump’s Veterans and Military Families for Trump Coalition told RedState that while the effort continues to support Hurricane Helene survivors in western North Carolina, the real concern is the race against winter.
“We've got to try to figure out ways to get fuel to these people as it gets colder. They're running these generators and their heaters and everything in their house, so we're into the intricacies now of how a cold weather world makes for a much more dangerous situation,” said Chad Caton, who served with the Navy construction battalions and is also a retired firefighter.
Avid outdoorsmen are slamming a new political coalition formed by the Harris-Walz campaign aimed at winning their vote in the 2024 presidential election. (snip) critics mocked videos shared from the hunt, which showed Walz and allies from nonprofit group Pheasants Forever traipsing around a field with no shotguns in sight. “Tim Walz pretends to go pheasant hunting with no guns,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzalez wrote on X. Another video showed that the governor did have his shotgun on site, but he struggled to load the Beretta
Michael Tracey isn’t a conservative, but you can be assured he’ll be accused of being one after this piece. It’s the usual modus operandi for the Left: if you betray the narrative, you’re with the other side. Luckily for him, he’s never been one to follow the leader. He was an original Russian collusion skeptic on the Left, earning him the ire of his colleagues. He couldn’t care less. He’ll call out his side if they’re being obnoxious. Take Kamala Harris’ Univision town hall—would it shock you that it was chock-full of her supporters despite being branded as an ‘undecided Latino voter’ town hall event?
CBS News — the once-prestigious “Tiffany Network” built by giants like Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace — is the latest media institution to succumb to the bizarre spectacle of full-on wokeness.
That was proven by a leaked tape of CBS’s fake-news execs idiotically rebuking an actual real journalist doing his job.
“CBS Mornings” anchor Tony Dokoupil got into trouble because he pressed the author of a one-sided, anti-Israel polemic, Ta-Nehisi Coates, about his warped, historically inaccurate views on the Middle East conflict.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is back on the “Orange Man Bad” circuit less than a month before the presidential election. During an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” she issued frantic warnings about former President Donald Trump going full fascist if he gets reelected.
The former lawmaker told host Kristen Welker that the former president “believes he will be immune for anything he does once he’s in office,” referencing a recent Supreme Court ruling to that effect.
Cheney predictably chose to back Vice President Kamala Harris and has been on the campaign trail with the candidate. “He will not respect the rulings of our courts,

Vem Miller is a registered Republican who tried to present fake VIP credentials at a Trump rally on Saturday and then found himself arrested on illegal firearms charges.
The 49-year-old Las Vegas resident describes himself on LinkedIn as an 'investigative journalist' and is the cofounder of what appears to be a fringe, far-right website that vows to 'rage against the mainstream media.'
On Saturday, the Riverside County Sheriff claimed Miller was 'probably' seeking to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
But a source close to Trump campaign downplayed the threat and told DailyMaill.com that there was no assassination attempt.
The 4 reasons Harris is losing
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
Minnesota, what in the world have you unleashed on the rest of the United States?
As if Tim "Knucklehead" Walz's overzealous Elmer Fudd, twitchy leg routine wasn't bad enough, we now have to deal with his rather odd, preachy wife. Gwen Walz has previously made headlines for her bizarre reaction to the violent George Floyd protests of 2020 that were allowed to fester by her husband, implying that she enjoyed the smell of St. Paul burning.
“I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing,” Walz said of the BLM protests that swept Minnesota and beyond, including the area near the governor’s home in St. Paul.
St. John’s — New York’s largest Catholic university — has gone woke and no longer refers to Monday’s holiday as “Christopher Columbus Day’’ in honor of the explorer hailed as a devout Christian.
Some Italian-American civic leaders and alumni are now ripping the Catholic institution for dissing the famous but controversial Italian explorer.
“To not acknowledge Columbus is insane,” said Angelo Vivolo, president of the Columbus Heritage Coalition. “Of course it’s an insult.” (Photo) Former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Peter Abbate, a St. John’s alum who earned a bachelor’s degree in history and political science, agreed.
As this space as thoroughly discussed for the past two weeks, the momentum for President Trump to return to the White House is surging—at exactly the right time.
Given that many of the observations I connected dots on were laying wide open for everyone to see naturally people in both campaigns see them as well. Hence the desperation on Team Harris is beginning to border on all out panic.
Because of this former President Obama suited up and spent a portion of his time this week in Pennsylvania, an absolute must win state for Harris. This next week former President Clinton gets his turn.
Radical leftist Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) appearance at a Minnesota high school football game on Friday garnered mixed reactions from attendees.
The vice-presidential candidate traveled to Mankato West High School to watch a team play that he previously helped coach, Fox News reported Saturday. Video footage shows Walz in the bleachers shaking hands with several people. Some attendees appeared not to care that he was there and focused their attention on the field.
Scratch a Democrat and find a racist. As Kamala Harris travels the country, going from one ass-kissing interview to another, the rest of the Democratic Party establishment is starting to worry. You can’t polish a tyrd, but you can distract from the fact that it is a tyrd…but only for a while. Sooner or later, the emperor has no clothes, the sheep runs out of wool, and you’re left standing there with a tyrd. That’s where the Democrats are now.
The thing about Kamala Harris is the more people see her, the less they like her. She almost lost her first race for Attorney General of California…to a Republican;
Donald Trump seems to have faced yet another threat to his life when a man presenting fake VIP credentials was taken into custody after a shotgun, high capacity magazine and loaded handgun was found in his vehicle at a rally over the weekend.
Vem Miller, 49, was taken into custody after he was stopped at a checkpoint near the former president's rally in Coachella, California on Saturday.
Local law enforcement claimed the incident is 'probably' a third assassination attempt - after Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July, and an armed suspect pointed a gun at him in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) schooled New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro during a sit-down interview in which he educated her on several issues multiple times. Titled “The Interview,” Navarro grilled Vance on top issues most important to voters heading into the 2024 election, including the southern border, the economy, and the left’s unprecedented use of censorship.
At one point during the interview, Navarro sat in silence for nearly minutes while Vance lectured her on the negative correlation between the U.S. labor market and illegal immigration.

Washington — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday that disinformation surrounding the election, along with false claims about the government's response to recent hurricanes, is "extremely damaging."
"It causes people to lose confidence in the integrity of the election system, and we need people in positions of authority to actually communicate accurate information to the voting public," Mayorkas said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Sunday.
The comments came in response to new CBS News polling, which showed that 65% of Trump voters believe the Biden administration has tried to increase the number of migrant crossings at the southern border.
During a recent livestream on the 2WAY platform, political analyst Mark Halperin noted that the polls don’t look very good for Kamala Harris. He then addressed Harris supporters who were complaining about how he was talking about all the problems for her campaign.
“You're welcome to put your head in the sand about it,” he told them. “If you wanna go watch MSNBC primetime and hear how great things are going for the Harris campaign, you're welcome to do that.”
Well, funnily enough, even MSNBC is now starting to see that things aren’t going so well for Kamala Harris.

Authorities thwarted a possible third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday when local law enforcement apprehended a man armed with firearms and counterfeit entry passes outside his rally in Coachella Valley, Calif. The suspect was detained roughly a mile from the rally site, where police discovered he had a fraudulent entry pass, a loaded shotgun, a handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.
“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told the New York Post.
The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony press and VIP passes.
A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said.

The scandal engulfing CBS' 60 Minutes over its edited interview with Kamala Harris has turbocharged fears that the Democrat is being shepherded into the White House by a liberal media increasingly desperate to cover for her shortcomings.
The presidential race has been dogged by allegations of media bias since the moment Harris unseated Joe Biden as the Democrat pick in the wake of his disastrous debate with Donald Trump in June.
Apart from glowing magazine profiles and softball interviews with handpicked reporters, the VP has largely side-stepped the media exposure that candidates traditionally allow.
Former President Trump explained how he would guard against bureaucrats undermining him as the potential next commander-in-chief if elected back to the White House.
"We have two enemies: We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within. And the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries," Trump said in an exclusive interview on "Sunday Morning Futures."
"But the thing that's tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside, like Adam Schiff — Adam 'Shifty' Schiff," Trump added.
AURORA, Colo. — Another retail closure is coming to a troubled intersection on E. Colfax Avenue in Aurora. The Walgreens store at Havana Street and E. Colfax Avenue will close next month. Walmart shuttered its Neighborhood Market store at the same intersection in June.

However, Willmann doesn't believe that's the entire story. "I hate to say this, but I think it’s shoplifting," he said. The Walmart Neighborhood Market across the street has been closed for three months. The company
Can Disney and Lucasfilm just let Star Wars die now?
Evidently not, because now we get the latest injection of wokeism into the galaxy far, far away: a transgender clone trooper.
Yes, really.
My friend Ben Bartee briefly covered this yesterday in his "Sodom and Gomorrica" series but did not go into much detail other than demonstrating just how far we have fallen as a culture and arguably as a species. Yes, they really gave him a blue and pink trim to his armor, which, if you are familiar with Star Wars lore, is supposed to indicate which legion he serves in.
Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance appeared shocked Sunday on ABC News when co-host Martha Raddatz interrupted him mid-statement and attempted to downplay Venezuelan gangs’ takeover of Colorado apartment complexes.
The Tren de Aragua gang made U.S. headlines in September after officials confirmed ten members were involved in an investigation into a string of alleged criminal incidents at an Aurora, Colorado apartment complex, according to FOX 31. On ABC’s “This Week,” Raddatz pressed Vance on former President Donald Trump’s response, noting Trump claimed the city had been “invaded and conquered” by migrants, while the mayor called the statement “grossly exaggerated.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has lost steam and her edge against former President Donald Trump has slipped in three major polls with less than a month to go until Election Day — yet another blow to Democrats who were already starting to panic about November.
Harris has lost six percentage points on Trump in a single month in the NBC News poll, giving the former president the slimmest lead of 47% to 46% among registered voters — with third-party contenders included.
Last month, Harris scored 47% to Trump’s 41% in the same poll. (Photo) The vice president had jumped slightly ahead of Donald Trump in polls since rising to the top
During Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, responded to host Martha Raddatz’s criticism of former President Donald Trump’s attacks on Biden-Harris immigration policy and for attributing a Venezuelan gang problem in Aurora, CO to that policy.
Vance questioned Raddatz for attacking Trump when she admitted Venezuelan gangs overran apartment complexes.
Partial transcript as follows:

But I want to — we played some other comments about migrants and migrants including in Aurora, in Colorado,
Writing on Twitter, Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman provides his reasoning for supporting President Donald Trump.
Bill Ackman: “A number of my good friends and family have been surprised about my decision to support Donald Trump for president. They have been surprised because my political giving history has been mostly to Democrats, my voting registration has typically been Democrat (in NY, you must be registered to the party in order to vote in the primary, and usually the Republican candidate has no chance to win), and many of our philanthropic initiatives have supported issues that are consistent with Democratic priorities.
Christopher Columbus wasn’t Italian or even originally Catholic but instead a Sephardic Jew likely from Spain who hid his heritage to avoid persecution, a new genetic study suggests.

Moviegoers across the country have fired The Apprentice.
The controversial Trump biopic — which portrays the young Donald Trump as a rapist — is set to gross around $1.5 million on its opening weekend. That’s an embarrassingly low figure given the movie received a wide release on 1,740 screens, for a per-screen average of about $862.
Since most screens feature multiple showings a day, that means from late Thursday to Sunday, there was an average of around five people per showing — in other words, mostly empty theaters.
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.
Ariana Grande took the New York 30 Rock stage at “Saturday Night Live” for the third time as host and found herself in familiar circumstances.
“The last time I hosted was in 2016, and we were right on the verge of electing our first female president,” the 31-year-old singer and actor said in her monologue. “So, I guess, second time’s the charm?” Grande, who first hosted in 2014, was doing it for the first time without also serving as musical guest — a role that fell to Stevie Nicks — and promised not to sing, before breaking into a song.The theme continued as she vowed
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
After watching Vice President Kamala Harris’s incredible slog of a town hall-style interview Thursday on Univision, there’s absolutely no way her support among Latino U.S. voters is going to do anything but bottom out.
That was the most excruciating hour-long campaign session I can recall and it’s not even close. The peak of the event was when she hollered at a non-English speaker who asked an innocuous question about the Democrat primary process, which Kamala skipped over before being hoisted up as the party nominee.
That guy was named Mario and he identified himself as a 70-year-old from Uruguay.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff did not deny allegations he slapped his ex-girlfriend during a soon-to-be-released MSNBC interview.
The moment came on Friday when the network shared a snippet of the second gentleman’s sit-down interview with “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough. The interview is expected to air on Monday. As The Federalist’s Tristan Justice previously noted, three friends of the alleged victim claimed to the Daily Mail that Emhoff “struck the woman named under the pseudonym ‘Jane’ following a glitzy night out at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France.”
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.
American soldiers will reportedly send the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system to Israel in order to prepare for intercepting ballistic missiles, N12 reported on Saturday night.
According to the report, such a decision would prompt the US to station American soldiers in Israel to operate the THAAD system. The decision to operate the THAAD US air defense system on Israeli soil would come in preparation for an expected Iranian response to Israel's anticipated retaliation strike on Iran, the N12 report noted. Following the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also directed the deployment of the THAAD system to Israel, according

Ted Cruz in the U.S. Senate race out of Texas.

"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.
Vice President Harris is underperforming the last three Democratic candidates for the White House among Latino voters while her GOP competitor, former President Trump, maintains his support among the critical group of voters, a new survey found.
The survey, conducted by the New York Times / Siena College, found Harris has slipped into low territory for Democrats.//snip//Throughout his three presidential campaigns, Trump has made immigration a focus. He’s targeted migrants for “invading” the country and took aim at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The survey also found that most Hispanic respondents don’t feel like Trump is talking about them when he speaks on immigration.
J.D. Vance left a New York Times reporter stunned by dismantling the argument that illegal immigrants are essential to the U.S. economy.
The Senator made the case that a simple solution to the migrant crisis would be to employ 7 million male Americans who have dropped out of the labor force, rather than relying on the annual inflow of approximately 2 million undocumented migrants.
Vance says he doesn’t think America needs to rely on cheap immigrant workers and advocated for Donald Trump’s proposal to deport all undocumented people living illegally in the U.S.
With just weeks before the 2024 presidential elections, securing a fair and honest election should be the top priority for states— except for Arizona.
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes is moving forward with allowing 218,000 people with unconfirmed citizenship to vote in the federal election despite concerns illegal immigrants have been peddled into the U.S. to boost votes for the Democratic candidate. Under 2024 state law, Fontes revealed the number of registered voters but never provided the required legal proof of citizenship. The Democrat revealed last week that that number had doubled, describing it as an “evolving situation.”
Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe seems to be coming to grips with the fact that it is looking ever more likely that Donald Trump is going to win the election and she is not happy about it.
During a recent monologue, where Mika seemed to be on the verge of tears at certain moments, she said that it’s fair for Democrats to be ‘incredibly depressed’ and discouraged.
She also launches into a fierce defense of Kamala Harris, claiming that she is doing everything she can to connect with voters.
In one of the most dramatic, high-risk space flights to date, SpaceX launched a gargantuan Super Heavy-Starship rocket on an unpiloted test flight Sunday and then used giant "mechazilla" mechanical arms on the pad gantry to pluck the descending first stage out of the sky in an unprecedented feat of engineering. The Starship upper stage, meanwhile, looped around the planet and re-entered the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean as planned, enduring temperatures nearing 3,000 degrees as it descended to a controlled, on-target splashdown. The spacecraft came through the hellish heat of re-entry in relatively good condition, protected by improved heat-shield tiles and beefed-up steering fins
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are deadlocked in the latest national NBC News poll, with Trump bolstered by Republicans coming back home to support him after last month’s rough debate and a subsequent polling deficit, as well as by a favorable voter assessment of Trump’s term as president. These are among the findings of a new survey released three weeks before Election Day, which also shows Harris’ popularity declining compared to a month ago, after she got a big summertime boost; a massive gender gap between support for Harris and Trump; and voters viewing abortion as
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.”

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.
I recently wrote that the 2024 election won't be that close. Part of my thinking was that pollsters have yet to solve their "Trump problem."
The pollsters have tried different methodologies, different algorithms. and different ways to contact voters, all seeking to address the "missing Trump voters" that fail to show up in their polls but end up voting by election day.Everyone has their own theory about how to measure Trump's support but the bottom line is that we won't know how successful or unsuccessful the pollsters are until the voters are counted.
That's going to take a while, considering all the legal challenges from both sides that will be made.
Donald Trump has been endorsed by more than a dozen Medal of Honor recipients who served in three different wars.
Kamala Harris is bragging about being endorsed by Liz and Dick Cheney as often as she can. Wouldn’t you take the Medal of Honor recipients over the Cheneys if you had the choice?
If elected, Trump has promised to go after the woke ideology that has infected the United States Military. It needs to be done. It’s a matter of national security.

Former President Donald Trump ripped California’s liberal leaders at a massive rally in Coachella Saturday, after Hollywood movie star Dennis Quaid took the stage and told the crowd to “pick a side.”
“The radical left democrats have destroyed this state, but we are going to save it. We’re going to make it better than ever before,” Trump said to his supporters, many who braved the 100-degree heat at the outdoor rally.
“We’re not going to let [Harris] destroy our country like she did San Francisco,” Trump said to cheers. (Photo) “It’s a paradise lost, but we’re gonna bring it back,” Trump said adding, “Don’t worry about it, we’re gonna bring it back.
A comet that won't fly by Earth for another 80,000 years was captured in mesmerizing pictures zooming across the skies of South Carolina.
The once-in-a-lifetime comet, nicknamed A3, emerged from the Oort Cloud - a bubble-shaped, mysterious phenomenon that holds our solar system within it.
Stargazers anxiously awaited what they labeled the 'comet of the century', that was last seen 8,000 decades ago. And those who were lucky enough to catch the glimpse of history were able to view the incredible images.
Now, the comet visiting Earth from interstellar space will live on through the riveting pictures.
