With an assist from the indispensable people at the pro-Israel media watchdog group CAMERA, our friends at National Review exposed CBS News’s longtime Gaza producer Marwan Al Ghoul on Tuesday as having what they described in their headline as a “as history of antisemitic, anti-Israel commentary” and even wondered if Jewish people are actually human. Despite this and Facebook posts dating back over a decade, Al Ghoul has remained employed and provided daily footage of what he (and Hamas) want the world to see. To be clear, wondering if Jews are actually human beings and cheering on Allah to wipe out the United States and Israel?

Former President Donald Trump spent some time at a McDonald’s franchise in Pennsylvania on Sunday afternoon, largely to troll Vice President Kamala Harris — but The New York Times took the bait too, and the outlet just can’t let it go. 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.”

On the last leg of her African tour, Vice President Kamala Harris paid a visit to an otherwise unremarkable office building in Zambia. Kamala needed a tangible connection to Africa to win over African-American voters and convince them that she was one of them. And everyone settled on the office building as being the next best thing where she had once stayed as a little girl with her Indian mother on a visit to her grandfather. P. V. Gopalan, Kamala’s grandfather, had been a member of India’s socialist Congress party which was aligned with the USSR.

A former Obama administration official is providing legal services to a company the Department of Defense (DOD) asserts has deep ties to the Chinese military. Loretta Lynch, who served as former President Barack Obama’s attorney general from 2015 to 2017, is one of five attorneys from the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison listed as representing Chinese drone manufacturer DJI in a lawsuit filed October 18 challenging the Pentagon’s designation of the drone company as a “Chinese military company,” court documents show.

A student at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, recently filed a Freedom of Information Act request. He was trying to get access to documents related to an ongoing investigation at the school that he's involved in. Instead of those documents, he was hit with a $84,000 bill. To get the records, he’ll have to pay up. Carrie Uthe, the student’s mother, spoke to reporters on her son’s behalf. They believe the school is using the bill to prevent her son from accessing the records. “I feel like we’re fighting the school that’s fighting us ... and it’s just not fair,” Uthe told 13 On Your Side reporters.

Barbara Clark is the perfect example of a voter, whether Black, white, Hispanic or from any other ethnic group, who defies stereotypes. This defiance often leads to voters such as her being overlooked as people who could change not just the presidential election but also the majority in the Senate. Clark is a Black female who has been a registered Democrat for almost all of her adult life and voted for former President Barack Obama twice. "Dear, I didn't just vote for him," she said. "I was a community organizer for Barack Obama for the group ACORN."

We are officially now on Day Three of the Donald Trump appearance at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s location. (What should this be called? The Gold-Arch Standard -The 2-Patty System - Whataburger-gate?) What has been remarkable is the press has been incapable of stopping themselves from overreactions and crafting shame for themselves.And today brings more amusement. To start, we have the slanted impressions of CNN’s media maestro, Brian Stelter. If anyone should possibly refrain from commenting on Donald Trump whipping up a batch of french fries, it might be the guy derisively referred to as an Idaho Spud. But Stelter is renowned for his lack of self-awareness as well as his

Vice President Kamala Harris plagiarized material in addition to her book Smart on Crime, an analysis by Washington Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium found Tuesday. The additional allegations of plagiarism diminish the credibility of the Harris campaign’s denial of plagiarism. The Beacon’s Sibarium reported Harris also plagiarized pages of congressional testimony from a Republican colleague and a fictionalized story about human trafficking. Sibarium reported on Harris’s material from congressional testimony: Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney, Paul Logli of Winnebago County, Illinois, who had testified in support of the legislation two months earlier before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The Democratic Party has launched a write-in campaign against one of its congressional candidates in Georgia after discovering she may have run to provide a more conservative alternative to the Republican incumbent. Katy L. Stamper, a lawyer who won the Democratic nomination for Georgia’s 11th House District, describes herself as an “independent candidate running on the Democratic ticket,” and holds some conservative views such as believing transgenderism conflicts with reality and illegal immigrants should be deported, The New York Times reported Monday. Due to these non-progressive beliefs, the Democratic Party has launched a campaign encouraging voters to write in Tracy Verhoeven

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.

A Pennsylvania mother who was served by former President Donald Trump during his stint at a McDonald’s drive-thru after his rally on Sunday shared the request she made of the former president. Trump stopped by the Feasterville-Trevose fast food joint to serve up helpings of french fries to unsuspecting drive-thru customers. Nayara Andrejczyk, a mother whose encounter with the former president went viral online, seized the opportunity to ask Trump for just one favor.

~Back in the summer, in the immediate aftermath of the slaughter of three little girls in the English town of Southport, I wrote: Starmer is not, as has been suggested, simply 'tone-deaf'. He is seizing his opportunity, as Washington did on J6 and Justin did with the Canadian truckers. You know how that worked out for law-abiding grannies on their first trip to America's capital, or for prairie donors who'd dropped fifty bucks via credit card on the Ottawa convoy. And you know how muted public protest about anything has been in either country since. Yeah. Frozen bank accounts and solitary confinement will do that to you.

A bipartisan group of legislators in New York City is demanding that embattled Mayor Eric Adams launch an effort to remove gang members from the city’s migrant shelters “as a matter of urgent public safety.” Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) published a letter Thursday to the mayor, co-signed by five Republicans and four Democrats citing the growing influence of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Argua.“It has become evident that foreign-based criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua have been using taxpayer-funded shelters across the city as a base for their illicit activities, which include organized theft, robbery, assaults, sex trafficking, and in some cases, murder,”

There is a compelling reason that the Supreme Court has regularly ruled that falsehoods are protected speech. The Court openly recognizes that falsehoods can be harmful and may sometimes be quite harmful, but the Court also recognizes that efforts to determine which information is true and which is false are far more harmful to our democracy. The line between whether content can be labeled true or false, or whether it is simply viewpoint disagreement can be blurry and very much in the eye of the beholder. This is especially true of political content and policy debates. This is also the fundamental premise of the First Amendment, which protects free speech

You may be wondering why Kamala Harris is campaigning with Liz Cheney. Who exactly is she trying to appeal to here? It makes no sense. Until you consider the fact that Democrats and her campaign might be worried that she needs votes from never-Trumpers and disaffected Republicans to make up for the votes she is losing within her own party. Suddenly, it all comes into focus. From the Washington Examiner: Harris hunts for GOP votes as Democrats fear her base support is eroding

Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he and host Ari Melber will be arrested if former President Donald Trump wins the election. Carville said, “Trump goes out, and he says I’m going to use the military to arrest my political enemies, and then Mike Johnson’s and Lindsey Graham, and the Wall Street Journal editorial pages say oh no, that’s not what he meant and then he comes back and says yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. You know what’ll happen? You pointed it out; if he wins, he will say, I told people I was going to do this. I have the legitimacy of an election

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Brigadier General Amir Avivi (Res.) told ABC News on Monday that Israel’s impending retaliatory strike on Iran will be “fierce” and will lead to an intensified war that will last “many months.” Avivi, a conservative think tank, the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), told Breitbart News in early September that an Israeli attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon was “imminent” — and it took place within days. ABC News reported: Israel’s planned attack on Iran will mark the “beginning of a war” that will last “many months,” retired Israel Defense Forces Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told ABC News. Israel’s war with Hezbollah had gone incredibly well

Former President Donald Trump on Monday landed in western North Carolina to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene, meet survivors, and thank volunteers who have been working to save lives. Five states were affected by Hurricane Helene — Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. However, North Carolina was hardest hit. Hurricane Helene was the deadliest hurricane to hit the continental United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, with more than 300 deaths confirmed so far, and many still missing.

Issues & Insights' Terry Jones calls this "buyer's remorse," but that doesn't fit. Literally no one bought Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee -- by design. Democrats never gave their voters a choice other than Joe Biden in the primaries, and then threw out 50 state contests to anoint Harris as the nominee once the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline got exposed. Small wonder, then, that over a third of Democrats in the new I&I/TIPP poll don't feel much "joy" over Harris as their candidate. And even more of them believe they got stuck with a weaker candidate than Democrats could have fielded:

Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning for president against Elon Musk at least as much as she is against former President Donald Trump, Mark Cuban said Monday, as he advocated for the Democratic nominee as the pro-business choice. “It’s the Harris campaign versus Elon, not even versus Trump,” the billionaire investor and former “Shark Tank” host said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” Cuban took a swipe at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO over Musk’s promise to give $1 million per day to the winner of a swing-state voter sweepstakes, calling it “innovative” and “desperate.” But Cuban later predicted that if Harris wins, she “100%” could mend her relationship with Musk.

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?

McDonald's has finally revealed why it does not have records to verify Vice President Kamala Harris' claim that she worked at one of its restaurants in the 1980s. In a memo emailed to McDonald's USA franchisees the corporation confirmed that while Harris had 'fond memories' of working at a location in Alameda County, 'we and our franchisees don't have records for all positions dating back to the early '80s.' A copy of the internal letter was posted by an anonymous McDonald's franchise on social media and confirmed by the Wall Street Journal.
