Pennsylvania’s Latino Belt
Posted By: Moritz55, 10/16/2024 10:31:32 PM
The Hispanic population is skyrocketing across the country, and Pennsylvania is no exception. With over 600,000 eligible Latino voters in the pivotal Keystone State, an emerging “Latino Belt” is reshaping politics and is likely to make a difference in a presidential contest that was won in Pennsylvania by just 82,000 votes in 2020. Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris by 0.3 points in Pennsylvania, according to the RCP Average. It's easy to think of Pennsylvania as, in the words of political strategist James Carville, two large cities with Alabama in the middle. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia sandwich rural Pennsylvania, which is in many areas culturally akin to Appalachia or the Deep South.

CNN anchor Boris Sanchez turned the tables on Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams after he criticized former President Trump for backing out of an interview. On Tuesday, Sams posted a tweet sharing a headline from The Daily Beast, "Trump Abruptly Cancels Another Mainstream TV Interview," with emoji eyes and wrote, "Trump pulls out of another mainstream media interview, just like he did with 60 Minutes... As he is facing scrutiny over his mental acuity." During an interview that same day, Sanchez referred to the post, holding the Harris campaign senior adviser's feet to the fire.

In a desperate bid for votes that Kamala Harris should already have secured, the vice president is pandering to a surprising audience: Black men.
Less than three weeks before the election, Harris now claims that if she's elected president, she'll throw the nation's purse wide open for this select group. How kind, and not at all manipulative and indulgent. On Monday, Harris launched her "Opportunity Agenda for Black Men." The plan includes handing out 1 million "fully forgivable" loans of up to $20,000 for Black entrepreneurs and "others." The proposal also promises to protect cryptocurrency investments and to legalize recreational marijuana.
Harris' initiative is the epitome of identity politics.
With the exception of one cordial but somewhat challenging segment on 60 Minutes, Vice President Kamala Harris has spent her entire presidential candidacy going from one softball media appearance to another. That ended Wednesday night when she sat for an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Finally, Harris faced probing and persistent questions about her record as vice president and plans for the presidency. And in 27 minutes of back-and-forth, she had virtually no answers. She pushed back hard but, for all her words, had little to say. (I should note at the beginning that I am a Fox News contributor, and I appear on Baier’s program Special Report.)
Republican VP candidate JD Vance said Thursday that he believes "something pathological is going on" with Vice President Kamala Harris that leads to her blaming former President Trump for issues that occurred during her time in office. Harris insisted Wednesday during an exclusive interview with "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier that she would "not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency" after previously being unable to name anything she would have changed about his administration.
Responding on "Fox & Friends," Vance said he simply doesn’t believe her and suggested it will be more of the same if she is elected president.
A Second Trump Term and the States

The presidential election is in its final stretch and the race is neck-and-neck, according to the polls. The outcome will have a profound impact at all levels of government and business, so preparing for a second Trump term would be prudent.
In office and on the campaign trail, former President Trump has championed federalism and granting the states greater latitude to implement policies and programs. He has voiced a commitment to reducing the footprint of federal regulations. As president, he implemented executive orders and other actions that sought to ease regulatory costs and effects. The Trump Administration also galvanized deregulatory efforts at the state and local level
I never thought that I would fear for my life in my own home until it happened this year.
In 2023, I began to notice significant changes in my apartment complex in Aurora, Colo., less than 20 miles from the sanctuary city of Denver.
Local media have since reported that officials began busing illegal Venezuelan migrants into the area in December 2022 — but no one told us. Members of Tren de Aragua – a vicious Venezuelan prison gang that has brought sex trafficking and violent crime into communities across our country — began patrolling my apartment building with guns, beating down doors and demanding keys from my neighbors.
What happened Wednesday night to Kamala Harris on Fox News may have been the equivalent to what happened to President Joe Biden at that infamous debate in June — irreparably exposed her as unacceptable to voters.
In what was widely seen as a Hail Mary move by Kamala’s campaign, the vice president agreed to an extended interview on Fox News, one of the exceedingly few national TV interviews she’s done since she was anointed the Democrat Party’s post-Biden nominee. Remarkably, she offered nothing new in terms of her weak, often confusing answers to obvious questions, but she did finally face probing lines of inquiry and necessary follow-up

New York Times’ plagiarism consultant Jonathan Bailey released his "full analysis" of the allegations against Vice President Kamala Harris and found them "more serious" than he initially believed. "At the time, I was unaware of a full dossier with additional allegations, which led some to accuse the New York Times of withholding that information from me. However, the article clearly stated that it was my ‘initial reaction’ to those allegations, not a complete analysis," Bailey wrote on Plagiarism Today Wednesday. "Today, I reviewed the complete dossier prepared by Dr. Stefan Weber, whom I have covered before. I also performed a peer review of one of his papers in 2018."
Vice President Kamala Harris sure lies a lot. I’m not just talking about pretending she hasn’t been the co-pilot of the Biden administration’s inflation and the border invasion, but about everything. She’s got a plan to fix all the problems she helped cause — but she won’t implement them unless she wins in November.
There is hardly an issue where she hasn’t insincerely changed her position to get ahead, just as there is hardly a biographical detail about her running-mate that hasn’t been embellished or fabricated. But Harris’s lies about Donald Trump are the worst of all.
With polls suggesting her campaign has stalled, Vice President Kamala Harris has been dispatching the Democratic Party’s biggest names across the country in an effort to build support in the last three weeks of the election. In one high-profile case, the strategy backfired, big time.
On Sunday, former President Bill Clinton attended the Fort Valley GOTV Community Fish Fry in Fort Valley, Georgia. It was the kind of small-scale, face-to-face politicking that was the former president’s specialty. Today, at 78, he’s still good at it.
But Clinton, who won the presidency in 1992 as a centrist New Democrat — his campaign was based on his understanding
The rankings are in for which U.S. governors have the best – and worst – records when it comes to fiscal responsibility. The Cato Institute released its biennial Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors for 2024 this week, scoring each state leader according to how much they raised or lowered taxes, and whether they slashed spending or ramped it up.
Here are the most fiscally responsible governors in the nation, according to the libertarian-leaning think tank:

Kamala is done!
Kamala Harris sat down for a one-on-one interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.
This is the first non-softball interview of her life and she totally cracked under pressure.
A completely unhinged Kamala Harris began screaming about democracy!
“[Trump] talked about locking people up because they disagree with him! This is a democracy!” Kamala Harris shouted. “And in a democracy the president of the United States in the United States of America should be willing to be able to handle criticism without saying he would lock people up for doing it!”
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday will tout her GOP support in a bid to attract Trump-wary Republicans and independents in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the most purplish of Philadelphia’s suburbs.
More than 100 Republicans will join Ms. Harris at a rally in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania, near the site where George Washington famously crossed the Delaware River. Later, she will try to hammer home her anti-Trump message to a conservative audience when she is interviewed on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
Among the Republicans who lay out why they are crossing party lines to back Ms. Harris in this year’s election are former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman,

The typically mild-mannered and tight-lipped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell privately laced into former President Donald Trump and sobbed during the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol, an upcoming book claims.
McConnell (R-Ky.), 82, slammed Trump, 78, as “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “narcissist” and a “despicable human being” behind closed doors toward the end of his administration, according to a preview of the book “The Price of Power” from the Associated Press.
“It’s not just the Democrats who are counting the days” until Trump’s White House departure, McConnell told associates in confidence, per the AP.
“[Trump’s conduct] only underscores the good judgment of the American people.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House.
The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake.
Baier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow many illegal border-crossers to await asylum rulings inside the US, before asking

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump was “unqualified to be president” because he is “increasingly unstable and unhinged.”
Clinton said, “The vice president has pivoted toward the closing argument. The closing argument has two parts. The closing argument is what kind of country do we want to be? What kind of people are we? Do we want to be divided? Do we want to be set into arguments with each other that we can’t agree on solving our problems? She is qualified to bring our country together and he is not.”
A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants.
The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York.

Four Kamala Harris staffers waved their arms pleading to end Harris’s much-anticipated but widely panned Fox News Channel’s Special Report interview, Bret Baier revealed Wednesday night.
Baier, who interviewed Kamala Harris, made the shocking revelation during the post-interview broadcast, saying he had many questions he was unable to ask Harris before the interview wrapped. “You know, I’m talking like four people waving their hands like, ‘it’s gotta stop!'” Baier told the panel.

America's largest archdiocese has agreed to pay a record-breaking $880million to more than 1,000 people who were sexually abused as children by clergy members.
The settlement announced Wednesday by lawyers for the 1,353 people who have filed suits against the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and its attorneys represents the largest single payout by any diocese in the United States, according to the New York Times.
It also brings Los Angeles' cumulative total payouts in sex abuse lawsuits over a quarter of a century to more than $1.5billion.

Ukraine is facing the threat of a huge influx of North Korean troops who are being trained by Russia's army.
At least 10,000 soldiers from the Pyongyang regime are understood to be taking part in manoeuvres before an expected deployment in regions close to the Ukrainian border.
The Kremlin is said to have paid North Korea to send personnel to the front in a deal struck on president Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kim Jong Un.
North Korea, like Iran, is also reported to be supplying weaponry and ammunition.
A Georgia judge ruled that county election board members cannot block the certification of votes based on suspicions of fraud just weeks before the 2024 presidential election.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox ruled on Wednesday that seven new election rules recently passed by the State Election Board are “illegal, unconstitutional, and void.” The measures had been a controversial subject between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris's surrogates in the battleground state.
The rules, passed last month in a 3-2 vote by the Republican majority on the elections board, had received much attention.
Vice President Kamala Harris is adding to her recent “media blitz” that until now has included stops at mostly friendly news outlets, talk shows and podcasts (which the Democratic presidential nominee has still inexplicably managed to bomb).
Yet, this week, she’s shaking things up and doing her first ever sit-down interview with Fox News. The interview will take place Wednesday with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Baier has said that he won't treat Harris with kid gloves during their conversation, and that any editing of the interview will only be for “timing” and that “no topic is off the table.” Sounds promising.
