Vice President Harris and her allies are making a last-ditch effort to peel off Republican support from former President Trump in the final days of the election. Harris rallied with a number of her prominent Republican supporters in battleground Pennsylvania on Thursday, telling the party’s voters “there is a place for you in this campaign.” During the same trip Harris took part in her first sit-down interview with Fox News, a cable network with a sizable right-leaning audience. And Republican Voters Against Trump and the FF PAC launched an eight-figure ad buy hitting the former president in key swing states.

You never really were Republican if you can vote for Harris. Nothing in her platform is Republican.

I have to ask....just how disenchanted does a republican have to be to think of voting for Kamala Harris? Are we talking mildly disenchanted, clinically depressed disenchanted, or Liz Cheney level RINO disenchanted?

Many of the Republican cross-overs from the last election [2020] that voted for Biden have suffered a bad case of buyers' remorse. Biden double-crossed them exploiting a global health crisis and lying about his intention to ''re-unite'' the country. Instead, he flooded the country with unskilled third world illegal aliens, projected weakness abroad resulting in wars and suffering. His administration has been the biggest failure of inept policy and divisiveness since the Buchanon administration.

The left thinks that by using a bought and paid for media they can do anything. In that spirit, they think they can make an empty-headed, cold-hearted shrill-voiced bimbo into Joan of Arc and her vapid, looney, soy-boy running-mate into everybody’s beloved uncle. After all, they successfully sold a rapist as a man who cared about “the children”; his frigid wife, Nurse Ratched, as a genius and champion of women’s causes; a mysterious radical who was raised by Communists and a pedophile into a the Great Black Hope and a laughable senile old doofus and fraud into a wise statesman. They also thought they turned an unattractive oafish First Lady into a fashion plate and her successor, a supermodel, into a nonentity. However, maybe the dishonest media have finally hit their limit.

If you were ever in doubt as to whether or not there is a Uniparty, Kamala's embrace of neocon warmongers lately should make things very clear to you.

A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” —Thomas Jefferson Right now, a pair of gigantic, enormous, bigger-than-Aunt-Bertha stories are flying at warp speed. They’re moving so fast, they’ve mostly been overlooked. The first story is the Democrats’ emerging buyer's remorse. As I detailed earlier, the dam cracked wide on that front over the past few days. We’re starting to see headlines like “What If Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?” “Forget Kamala Harris: Should Democrats Have Picked Michelle Obama?” “Even Dem Voters Show Signs of ‘Buyers Remorse’ Over Party’s Unprecedented Electoral Moves.” “Buyer’s Remorse in the Democratic Party Over Harris’s Weak Performance.”

CBS has shown its true colors. The home of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather is no longer just a biased news organization. That’s too kind. For years, I’ve watched this network go from slanted reporting to straight-up propaganda, and now to sheer deceit. The past month has shown that Republicans should have nothing to do with it — and that former President Donald Trump is right to call attention to its chicanery with a threat of legal action. First, CBS moderators broke the network’s own pledge not to fact-check during the vice-presidential debate, deliberately targeting GOP candidate J.D. Vance and doing so-

The folks at "Saturday Night Live" should probably just put Tim Walz on the payroll at this point, judging from his most recent and outlandishly laughable attack line. This time, his target was Elon Musk. Musk, of course, has hit the road in Pennsylvania, sporting a MAGA hat and rallying voters behind the Trump/Vance ticket. To leftists like Tim Walz, supporting Donald Trump makes you an enemy, and Elon Musk has settled comfortably into his position as their Public Enemy No. 2.

In addition to federal, state, and local races, we have three questions on the ballot here in Georgia. Two of the ballot questions would amend the state’s constitution, while the other one is a non-binding question related to tax policy. The three ballot questions concern measures that had wide (and rare) bipartisan support in the General Assembly. Rep. Mesha Mainor (R-56th District) explains, “All three measures passed the General Assembly with nearly unanimous consent.” Naturally, there’s propaganda going around that Democrats are using to attempt to scare voters into voting no on these ballot questions, complete with class-warfare rhetoric. Far-left organizations sent out a text to voters,

Kamala Harris removed her mask and showed the world what she thinks of Israel and Jews. Any Jew who votes for her is self-hating. I had a professor at Harvard who told an interesting story. He had just published a book, and an article about him and his writings was forthcoming. The relevant publication sent a photographer to get some author snaps. The photographer took many pictures, and when they were finished, she told him they were done. A second later, he heard the camera shoot again. The surprised professor asked what that was. “I always take a picture of my subjects after they think we have finished.

This is one of the most challenging columns I have written. Not only have we experienced unprecedented unconstitutional abuse of government power exercised in response to COVID-19, 2020 election irregularities, and January 6, which has left our country in a state that has more in common with a banana republic than the constitutional republic that has defined us previously for some 230 years. Recent developments suggest that this could be a prelude to worse to come.

Trump had tariffs, lower taxes, energy independence, rapid economic growth, and extremely low inflation during his four years in office. Americans of all races and all economic levels, especially those at the bottom, saw rapid real wage growth. Poverty hit an all-time low at the end of 2019 before COVID hit. Income inequality was being reduced. Contrary to what Obama says today, Trump did not inherit a great economy from him. Trump inherited slow economic growth from the Obama-Biden years, along with the slowest economic recovery in seventy years. Big government is the problem.

Harris and Walz have made a thing of “turning the page,” but the page that must be turned is the one they are on. In recent years, beginning with Obama, the Democratic party has become unmoored from its basic center-left policies and embraced ideas and policies which are illogical, absurd, and increasingly unpopular. Things like these: Allowing open borders coupled with a very generous social welfare system to be tapped by all who enter; Endorsing chemical castration of children and allowing transgender women into the private spaces of actual women; Engaging in endless wars in which we have no genuine national stake;

No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit. And no, it’s not domestic policy, where we have had the luxury of being on the receiving end of these: High taxes. High food prices. High gas prices. Sky-high regulations. Alarmingly high crime rates throughout the country, particularly in states run by Democrats, where arrests are few, bail is nonexistent, and raging criminals enjoy no consequences for their assaults, rapes, murders, racist attacks, etc. Eleven million illegal and unvetted aliens are further draining our economy thanks to the largesse of this regime,

Western powers, often suppliers of advanced weaponry to Israel, are pushing the Jewish state to stop fighting Hamas and Hezbollah. Why? You would probably laugh. Orthodox Jews do not use electronic or electrical devices during the Sabbath and holidays. Smartphones, computers, and the like are generally turned off with the entry of a holy day and only turned back on when the day goes out the following night. So what happens when Israel assassinates Hassan Nasrallah or kills Yahya Sinwar on one of these days? Orthodox Jews are still curious people, even if their internet-connected devices are off.

You knew news organizations would be making calls to professional lip readers after Joe Biden and Barack Obama were caught having a frank discussion at the funeral for Ethel Kennedy this week. The late Mrs. Kennedy passed away on October 10 at 96. Her funeral was another event where politicians, friends, and family would gather, and like most scared Democrats, some discussed the 2024 race. With death organs blasting in the background, Obama and Biden seemed beyond dispirited about the Kamala Harris operation, with the former president bluntly saying that Biden’s gal simply isn’t strong enough to win this election.

Two impeachments, 88 felony counts (with guilty verdicts on 34 of them), a massive fine, two assassination attempts, unrelentingly hostile media coverage, a last-minute candidate switcheroo, and Donald Trump is still showing signs that he will win the election in two weeks. So, what do Democrats still have up their sleeve to stop Trump? They must have something. Back in May, we asked what the Democrats’ Plan B was if their lawfare campaign against Trump failed, and offered five options – four of which have come to pass. Here is what we said then.

WASHINGTON — Russia and Iran may try to encourage violent protests in the U.S. after next month’s election, senior intelligence officials warned Tuesday, citing two recent examples of foreign intelligence agencies seeking to sow discord ahead of the vote. The officials, with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said both countries could support violent protests either by covertly organizing events themselves or by encouraging participation in those planned by domestic groups. The aim, the officials said, would be to increase division, cast doubt on election results and complicate the transfer of presidential power. In January, Russian military intelligence tried to recruit an American to organize protests in the U.S.

Do you believe in miracles? Throughout history, inexplicable events have occurred yet naysayers refuse to name them miracles preferring to call them a lucky coincidence. In 1980, however, when the young USA team won the Olympic winter game against the behemoth Russian team and then went on to win the gold, it was called, "the miracle on ice". The following year, a movie by that name debuted and another one opened in 2004 about the same "miracle. I wouldn't call this event a miracle which was the result of hard work but I'll bet some of the players followed the rule of getting a ‘miracle'. What was it, you may ask?

USGS worked with the Arkansas Department of Energy and the Environment's Office of the State Geologist to examine a geological unit known as the Smackover Formation to determine the amount of lithium in brines that are co-produced during oil and gas exploration. The study estimated that there are between 5 million and 19 million tons of lithium reserves present in the formation.

The Times ran a story on Monday titled “Trump Took a Turn at the Fryer. McDonald’s Workers Have Thoughts.” “After Donald J. Trump served fast food during a campaign stop at a McDonald’s,” the sub-headline read, “Several workers said the candidate showed a willingness to learn but should stick to his day job.”
