Houston? She Has a Problem
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/22/2024 7:25:56 PM
The 2024 election cycle has come down to its final fortnight. Every moment of campaign time takes on huge importance, especially considering how close the presidential race appears to be. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris need to make every minute count in the places where this election will be won or lost. And as much as I love my adopted state of Texas, this ain't one of those places. So why will Kamala Harris spend a day in Houston on Friday? Especially for an event that doesn't have a venue yet? Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Houston Friday to cap off the first week of early voting in Texas

Don't take my word for it, here's what the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday about how markets seem to be preparing for a Trump win.
Some large hedge funds and money managers, sensing a potential shift in momentum, are getting behind trades that could pay out if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
While most polling still shows a tight race, that shift has rippled across markets in recent weeks, boosting assets seen as likely to benefit from a Republican victory. For instance, private-prison operator GEO Group is up 21% in October, on pace for its best month since 2022, while bitcoin miner Riot Platforms has risen 34%.
Kamala Harris' Labour Party advisor's #1 priority is killing Twitter.
We can't let the proles speak. Only the vanguard of the proletariat and their Pravda media propagandists can be allowed to have a say, lest the dirty dumb demos quit doing what they are told.
Matt Taibbi and Paul Thacker have the scoop, and it is just as scary as you think. The campaign to destroy free speech is in full swing, and they are executing the plan. I have written a lot about censorship because, in the long run, it may present the greatest threat to our freedom. If we have free speech, we can at least fight back.
After watching Kamala Harris' hastily-called presser Wednesday afternoon (it can't really be called a press conference since she didn't take questions) in which she basically called Trump Hitler for eight minutes, I wondered what possessed Harris to do that -- especially since she was set to appear at a CNN Town Hall Wednesday night where she'd no doubt find the opportunity to bring up that talking point.
(And, she did find the opportunity to bring up that talking point - video at the bottom of this story.)
I mean, there's no way that any undecided "average Joe" voter would watch the video of Kamala's statement and think
With the momentum benefiting Donald Trump in the final weeks of the campaign, the sign of desperation from the Democrats has reached a fever pitch, and the left has now entered a phase where bogus anti-Trump stories are starting to flood the news. A couple of bogus stories have already been published, and more are on the way. Sources are pushing one story in particular, waiting for someone gullible enough to run with it.
On Saturday night, Mark Halperin, discussing the recent Atlantic hit piece, which has already been debunked, revealed that he has been pitched a story that, if true, would "end his campaign."
Between October 13 and October 21, I’ve made a total of seven predictions about the Harris-Walz campaign. They were all published ahead of time for the whole world to see.
The sixth one just came true.
Here’s what I wrote on Oct. 21:
I guarantee you that large numbers of the Harris-Walz campaign staff is talking off-the-record to the media every day. (Hey, they’re all on the same side. Many of them have even worked for the same bosses.) There’s a 100% probability they’re sharing tales of frustration, disappointment, fear, confusion, and anxiety — yet we haven’t really seen any stories about it.
Nothing’s been leaked.
A New York Times report on Sunday that equated skepticism about Vice President Kamala Harris’s claim to have worked at McDonald’s with birtherism was based in large part on a source—a friend of Harris’s—who said that Harris’s late mother told her about the job.
"Donald Trump has claimed without evidence that Ms. Harris never worked at the fast-food chain," the paper said. "Her campaign and a friend say she did."

In Judaism, there is a term for one of the largest sins that a human being can do: lashon hara. It literally means “the evil tongue,” and it's the term used to describe gossip. It is the equivalent of murder, theft, and idolatry all at once. It murders the reputation of the person you are gossiping about; it steals the opportunity for the person to whom you are speaking to learn about the person you're gossiping about; and it is a form of setting yourself up as an “idol” who is all-knowing. It is a quality that is despicable, and something that should never

voters may be illegal 4 replies
The Justice Department warned Elon Musk’s America PAC in recent days that his $1 million sweepstakes to registered voters in swing states may violate federal law, people briefed on the matter told CNN.
Musk, who has thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump and is spending millions of dollars supporting his candidacy, has publicized the $1 million prize by his political action committee aiming to increase voter registrations in hotly contested states. Musk’s initial promise to pay prizes to registered voters immediately raised concerns from election law experts and some state officials
Homeland Security greenlighted refugee applications for Venezuelan gang members after immigration officers failed to spot their gang tattoos, The Washington Times has learned.
Kevin Grigsby, head of refugee operations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said “several” members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang were approved and made it to the U.S. border before a different agency spotted the tattoos and blocked them from entering.
Experts said tattoos are a common indicator of gang membership and expressed shock that USCIS was missing those red flags

Female athletes worldwide have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender-identifying male competitors who have intruded into women’s sports. “The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” the report said.
Titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,” the August study conducted by the United Nations found that by March 30, 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 women’s division events across 29 different sports were defeated by transgender-identifying men. Male athletes have taken over 890 medals from female athletes, the report said.
Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night she would reject religious exemptions for abortion as president, effectively forcing health-care providers to perform the medical procedure in violation of their moral conscience.
The Democratic presidential nominee has been adamant about passing a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law, despite the Supreme Court overturning that decision in 2022. In an interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris indicated she would refuse to compromise with Republican lawmakers on the abortion legislation. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom
Vice President Kamala Harris warned Americans about her “increasingly unhinged and unstable” opponent Donald Trump in a rare address from her residence on Wednesday, after Trump’s former chief of staff cautioned that the president would rule as a “fascist.”
John Kelly, Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, has publicly criticized Trump many times, but escalated his attacks this week, saying that if the definition of fascism is “a far-right movement with a dictatorial leader and forcible suppression of opposition,” then his former boss “falls into the definition of a fascist.” In an interview with The Atlantic, Kelly said that Trump had praised Adolf Hitler

The ladies of The View discussed a report that claims former President Donald Trump praised Hitler, predictably losing their minds. The topic of discussion was the released audio recordings of General John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who claimed the former president would make positive remarks about Hitler including saying he “did some good things.”
It started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former director of strategic communications, who can’t believe people would not believe General Kelly because he’s “a four-star general” who was “so highly regarded by everyone in Trump’s West Wing.”
“I mean, I just can’t believe that for four years people have been warning about this.
Democrat Angela Alsobrooks boasts a wide 14-point lead over Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan in a new poll of the Maryland Senate race, with two weeks to go until Election Day.
Alsobrooks, the Prince George’s County executive, pulled in 54 percent support among likely Maryland voters, compared to Hogan’s 40 percent, according to a new survey from Emerson College Polling/DC News Now/The Hill. Another 6 percent were undecided. The new results mark a 5-point uptick in support for Alsobrooks since September, while support for Hogan dropped 2 points.
In today's "unexpected" news, the chief executive officer of youth clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch was arrested for sex trafficking.
Surprise, surprise.
According to ABC News:
Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two others were arrested Tuesday as part of a criminal sex trafficking investigation by the FBI and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn.
Jeffries, his partner Matt Smith and a third man, Jim Jacobson, are accused of operating an international sex trafficking and prostitution business that recruited young men for parties in the U.S. and abroad, according to an indictment.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 11 Democrats are urging President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Attorney General Merrick Garland to open a formal investigation into an Israeli air strike that injured American journalists over a year ago.
“The evidence clearly indicates that this was an unlawful direct attack on civilians in which a U.S. citizen was injured and was lucky to survive. Several journalists were severely injured, and one was killed,” lawmakers wrote in a letter on Tuesday.

The editor of the Los Angeles Times opinion section has resigned from her post after the newspaper’s owner prevented the editorial board from endorsing a candidate for president. Mariel Garza, editor of the illustrious newspaper’s editorials, resigned in protest of the decision by Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Times, to block the editorial staff from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review in a phone interview with her former colleague Sewell Chan. “In dangerous times, honest people
'I love Kamala Harris,' a young Venezuelan man declared as he rested on the side of a highway in southern Mexico last week.
His belongings were heaped at his feet. Hundreds of fellow migrants stretched out along the roadway in both directions.
They're headed for the U.S. and nearly all of them have an opinion about who should be America's next president.'Donald Trump, no,' the Venezuelan man said, shaking his head and dragging his thumb across his throat in a slicing motion.
He is one of thousands of migrants – from all over the world – joining a new rush traveling north
Donald Trump called Barack Obama 'a jerk' on Tuesday night while Obama mercilessly mocked the GOP candidate - reigniting a bitter feud between the two former presidents.
Trump went after Obama at a campaign stop in North Carolina, claiming the Democrat looked 'exhausted' and 'couldn't care less' about the country.
'I think he's a real jerk because I've watched him campaign over the last couple of days,' Trump said.Over the last couple of days I've watched him campaign. What a divider he is. He divides this country. He couldn't care less, him and his little group of people.'
Meanwhile, Obama took some jabs at Trump
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-

A collection of philanthropists, Silicon Valley titans, and Democratic megadonors are using their fortunes and influence to see Vice President Kamala Harris elected into the White House in November.
Tens of millions of dollars in political donations have been routed to the Harris campaign, its joint fundraising committee, and a super PAC called Future Forward, which is supporting Harris through ad buys, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, reprinted here by The Free Press.
