For years now there has been a long-promoted talking point in the press that crimes have gone down in this country during the Biden years. This claim has been in defiance of surges of violence in places like New York and D.C., the drugs and affiliated crimes with the mounting homeless problem in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the ongoing reality of store chains closing locations due to perpetual shoplifting going unaddressed and unabated. Yet the press has tried to sell us on the concept that things have been calming across the nation

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) posted a video to X on Thursday promoting efforts, alongside their friends at FEMA, engaged in disaster cleanup. It is a demonstration of government efficiency at its absolute best.
Or maybe not. They were promptly ratioed into oblivion for the effort.
Worried about hurricane cleanup in Florida after Hurricane Milton? Fear not. These folks are on the case!
"Along with our partners at @FEMA, we will continue with disaster recovery as a result of Hurricane Milton," the video is captioned. "The safety of the American people is our top priority."

Star Wars Adds Trans Clone Trooper

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.
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
Mayorkas Busted Racing Out of Hurricane-Ravaged

NC to Grab Sushi, Even As People Are Still Missing 6 replies
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was photographed grabbing some takeout at a high-end Sushi restaurant in Washington, D.C. — hours after visiting storm-ravaged North Carolina.
The incident continues a disturbing trend of extremely out-of-touch behavior in the wake of natural disasters Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The storms have resulted in hundreds of lives lost and, in the case of Helene, left countless individuals missing even to this day.
Mayorkas, the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in 150 years, announced that he had touched down in the Tar Heel State on X, just after 10 AM on Thursday.
How do you do, fellow dudes?
A 90-second video of “typical” men expressing their support for Kamala Harris was widely mocked online Friday — with critics trashing the awkward spot as the “cringiest political ad ever” and an “absurd piece of rubbish.”
The clip features a slew of apparent farmers, car enthusiasts and gym junkies boasting about their masculinity as they repeatedly insist, “I’m a man” and “I’m man enough.”
The script then takes a hard feminist turn as the presumed actors — most of whom were filmed doing outdoor activities or perched on trucks — start rattling off ways they aren’t afraid to support women.
“You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor?
Vice President Kamala Harris can’t even stumble her way through an emergency storm briefing without making it all about her.
Let’s rewind the tape.
As Hurricane Milton approached Florida, President Biden hosted a public briefing with a number of high officials.
Reasonable enough.
Harris — who appeared by Zoom for some reason, a bizarre choice in itself — suddenly seemed to be distracted by something behind the camera, raised her hands to cover her mouth and then barked out, “It’s a live broadcast!”
Plainly, she was hushing off-screen staffers who were trying to feed her lines to make it look like she had something useful to add.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) wrote U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samatha Power Wednesday, accusing the administration of overseeing the “misuse” of over a billion dollars in aid sent to Gaza that was likely seized by Hamas terrorists.
In his letter, he slammed USAID for “inadequate vetting”: [snip] Cotton specifically pointed out that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) often seems to be working hand in hand with the terrorists:
Kamala Harris’s campaign took a hard hit this week during her highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview with CBS’s Bill Whitaker.
What was meant to be a friendly sit-down to showcase her policies turned into an all-out disaster, as Harris was called out for essentially being “handed” the Democrat nomination without ever going through a primary process.
CBS hit her with hard-hitting facts: no votes, no debates, no campaign battle — just an elitist handoff of power.
After a shaky start discussing her foreign policy approach to Middle East tensions, Harris stumbled through an attempted defense of her economic policies, which Whitaker repeatedly challenged.
In a landmark case, the top European Union court has ruled that all member states must recognise gender changes made in other countries within the bloc.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ), which serves as the supreme court of the European Union in matters of EU law, said this week that Romania had violated EU law by refusing to accept as valid a gender transition certificate obtained by Arian Mirzarafie-Ahi in Britain.
The case was spurred after Mirzarafie-Ahi had requested a new birth certificate in Romania, however, the local court demanded that Mirzarafie-Ahi go through a new gender recognition process in Romania rather than accepting the documents from Britain, The Telegraph reports.
Now entering Trump country!
Mysterious “traffic” signs featuring former President Donald Trump’s silhouetted profile have been popping up around Staten Island, Bay Ridge and other parts of the city, garnering a mix of confusion, praise and disgust.
“I don’t know who’s doing this but this is f–king genius,” Staten Island artist and activist Scott LoBaido said in a video posted to social media featuring about a dozen of the signs, which are zip-tied to street poles and posts. “They’re all over the city,” LoBaido added. “Now that is clever.”
Most of the areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene are filled with Trump voters. Asheville, North Carolina is a notable exception, but we’re four weeks and change away from a consequential presidential election and two weeks away from the start of early voting in these hurricane-hit states of Georgia (October 15), North Carolina (October 17), and Tennessee (October 16). [snip] Oh, you might still be naïve and think: People are suffering. Kamala wouldn’t withhold aid just to win a few votes!
What are you, an idiot?

Former President Barack Obama came out swinging at Friday’s rally in Arizona, questioning former President Donald Trump’s competence.
The 44th president sharply criticized his successor throughout the appearance in Tucson, taking aim at Mr. Trump’s ability to articulate policy positions and his age. Mr. Obama’s comments come just months after President Biden, 81, dropped out of the race over concerns about his coherence.
If elected, Mr. Trump, 78, would be the oldest president in U.S. history by the end of his term. “Along with his intentions, there is also a question of his competence,” Obama said. “He’s giving two, 2 1/2-hour speeches. Just word salads.

The United States is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents that assess Israel’s plans to attack Iran, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press. A fourth U.S. official said the documents appear to be legitimate.
The documents are attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, and note that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. They were sharable within the “Five Eyes,” which are the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Canada sure seems to be a popular destination for Americans who suddenly find themselves in a position where leaving the United States is a good idea - at least in their fevered imaginations. The problem is, these people, who are almost exclusively creatures of the loony left (yes, I know that's a redundancy) almost never follow through on their threats.
On Friday, Politico gave us some examples from Michigan - and these people are daffy.
“Oh, God, she has to win: I don’t want to live in a Trumpian hellscape,” said Erin Conklin, a 62-year-old retired homemaker and artist. “We might have to leave: Canada, if they’ll take us.”
The Overrated Obama

My Red State colleague, Jeff Charles, has already reported on former President Barack Obama’s recent attempted public shaming of black men who don’t want to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, supposedly because of their misogyny.
I would like to associate with most of his column. The one exception I have is to this statement – “it’s the type of mistake that Obama doesn’t normally make.”
I beg to differ. Actually, I think it is the type of mistake that Barack Obama often made.
You know, Obama is the guy who once said, in 2008, “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or
The Center for Immigration Studies' Todd Bensman, who's done groundbreaking reporting on the border surge, has been in southern Mexico documenting what is going on there and in Central America as the election battles out in the U.S.
He found this:
This, despite his earlier reporting that migrants are anticipating a Trump victory in November, and making a rush towards the U.S., before the anticipated drawbridge will be pulled. Bensman reports that Trump is known as 'el diablo' to the would-be illegal border crossers.
So the idea of building a huge permanent complex to house migrants, United Nations agencies, and NGOs would almost seem counterintuitive,

Claiming that her clothing sported a "threatening" message, a Marine Corps veteran with over 20 years of service to our country was forced by an airline employee to disrobe in public and don another piece of apparel before being allowed to reboard her flight, she says.
via KNTV:
A Bay Area veteran said she was shocked and humiliated after being kicked off a Delta flight at San Francisco International Airport because of a T-shirt she was wearing.
Catherine Banks was set to fly out of SFO on Wednesday before a flight attendant told her the shirt she wore was threatening.
While the WNBA is getting sellout crowds for the finals between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, the league’s owners will not be making a return on their investment for the foreseeable future, sources close to the situation said. The NBA owns nearly 60 percent of the league. When one combines the NBA owners’ personal stakes in WNBA teams and the WNBA itself, the amount rises to 75 percent, a source with direct knowledge of the numbers said.
Four years ago, a sitting president — rejected by American voters — attempted to seize a second term anyway, plunging the nation into confusion, conflict and, in its last gasp, violence.
Now, Donald Trump’s political comeback has revived a sense of dread among the officials and institutions who stood in his way last time: Could it happen again?
Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork.
“The threat remains,”
Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News delivered a frankly disgusting performance during the September presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The network had agreed that there would be no fact checks and no interruptions, yet the partisan duo proceeded to do exactly that. In fact, Trump was fact-checked at least five times, while Harris was left to say whatever the heck she wanted (much of it lies). Perhaps the most infamous moment came when Muir, using his most arrogant, self-important tone, interrupted Trump on crime statistics. Yes, the former president fought back and tried to explain why Muir was wrong,
For years, Democrats across the nation have reassured Americans that our elections are “safe and secure.”
But in a stunning reversal of their own rhetoric, Democrats in Tennessee are now raising alarms over voter irregularities.
The Shelby County Democratic Caucus held an emergency briefing on Thursday to address disturbing reports that voting machines were flipping votes from Democrat candidates to their Republican rivals.
Democrats like Tennessee State Representatives G.A. Hardaway and Antonio Parkinson, both from Memphis, joined Election Commissioner Vanecia Kimbrow at a press conference

CNN host Chris Wallace challenged The New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro’s defense of Vice President Kamala Harris, igniting a broader debate on Harris’s political positions and the rhetoric used against her by critics.
During a discussion on “The Chris Wallace Show” about the Harris campaign’s strategic shift away from focusing on former President Donald Trump as a “threat” to democracy, Garcia-Navarro expressed frustration with Republican criticisms labeling Harris as “far-left.” Wallace, however, remained unconvinced, leading to an exchange over Harris’s political identity and the ongoing rhetoric surrounding her.
