'The House With Nobody In it' - In Washington D.C.?

Original Article

Posted By: FlyRight, 10/23/2024 6:42:37 AM

"The House with Nobody In It" by Joyce Kilmers (1886-1918), brings to mind a certain house in Washington, D.C. -- the White House. Our White House is not just a residence, it is a command post. The Free World depends on it. If there is no apparent occupant, how will the U.S. contend with threats to our allies and us? China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are "the new 'Axis of Evil,'" according to Politico, hardly a right-wing outlet. How worried should we be? Probably very. The United States is already facing two wars at full tilt, and another, it seems, on the way.

The house may be empty, but behind the scenes, there is a sinister clique of ruthless villains. They have usurped the powers of the vacuous husk to whom they purportedly belong. He's OK with that, too.

The rather well known author's name (as anyone who grew up in NJ would know) is Joyce Kilmer. No "s".

Former President Donald Trump is a “fascist,” Vice President Kamala Harris claimed for the first time during a Wednesday CNN town hall Under the Biden-Harris administration, costs soared on average 20 percent across the board, Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal. “Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Harris. “Yes, I do. Yes, I do,” she replied, “and I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted again.” .

Former Clinton pollster Doug Schoen said Tuesday on a podcast that Vice President Kamala Harris’ “inauthenticity” is her major problem as Election Day approaches. Polls between former president Donald Trump and Harris have tightened, with Trump slightly ahead across several battleground states, according to RealClearPolitics polling averages. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly criticized Harris’ record as “not impressive,” to which Schoen agreed, noting that voters appear to also share a similar view.

CNN host Jake Tapper said Wednesday that during his network’s coverage of a town hall with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, the Vice President talked about her opponent, former President Donald Trump, more than her own policies. Tapper said, “You’ve been watching CNN’s town hall with Vice President Kamala Harris and undecided voters less than two weeks from the election. A lot of tough questions for the vice president there. It seemed as though the voters were divided into three basic groups, liberals who had not heard enough from her,

Gur-Aryeh issued the warning in remarks during an online press conference with Nicaraguan journalists working in exile on the subject of Israel-Nicaraguan relations — organized by the Israeli Diplomatic Mission in Costa Rica after communist dictator Daniel Ortega recently ordered the rupture of Nicaragua’s diplomatic ties with Israel.

How quickly we went from “joy” and “vibes” to angry and desperate. Also dangerous. Kamala Harris on Wednesday delivered remarks outside the vice president’s formal residence in Washington, and it was nothing short of appalling. Using an immediately discredited and very obviously campaign-coordinated article in The Atlantic from the previous day, plus a New York Times interview from a disgruntled former Trump administration official, she stated in her official capacity that her opponent is “increasingly unhinged and unstable.” She promised that in a second Trump term, he would be a president of “unchecked power,” adding that his behavior has shown him to be “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.”

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."

Donald Trump has been the target of at least two assassination attempts. And yet the vice president, Kamala Harris, called an “emergency” press conference Wednesday to tell the world that he is the second coming of Adolf Hitler. “Donald Trump is out for unchecked power. He wants a military like Adolf Hitler had, who will be loyal to him, not our Constitution,” she said. “He is unhinged, unstable, and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses.” There is no way to sugarcoat the fact that Harris, in her desperation as her campaign heads down the toilet,

On Oct. 20, the "60 Minutes" squad put out a statement dismissing Donald Trump's accusations of manipulative editing in their Kamala Harris interview as "false." But they offered no evidence in support of their claims. Everyone can see the divergence between the Harris word salad that appeared in a promo on "Face the Nation" and the shorter, more coherent answer on their election special. But they refuse to release a transcript to explain themselves. It's always maddening when the arrogant journalists who claim they hold government accountable refuse to be accountable.

Over the last few days, Israel has shared a cache of secret Hamas documents that detail Hamas meetings with a member of the Iranian regime in the months leading up to the terror group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The documents indicate Iran had advance knowledge of ­Hamas’ plans. Communications between Hamas and Iran regarding terrorist attacks on Israel should come as no surprise as Hamas and Iran solidified their alliance and commitment to destroy Israel more than 30 years ago. But what many may not realize is the very first Hamas meetings with Iran were led by a man whose rise within Hamas began on American soil.

Outgoing Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said former President Trump has hurt the Republican Party’s ability to compete and that the “MAGA movement is completely wrong.” “I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn’t recognize today,” McConnell said, according to a new biography penned by Michael Tackett of The Associated Press. These excerpts were first reported Thursday by CNN. McConnell said Trump has “done a lot of damage to our party’s image and our ability to compete.” “Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that,

We’ve got to address it head-on and not act like it doesn’t exist. The reality is if black men had voted, Stacey Abrams would be a governor,” Bryant said.

Notable drag queens such as Barbra Seville, crowned 'Miss Gay Southern America,' and Afrika America led the show.

Harris’s interview with NBC News was a total dumpster fire and her interview with Telemundo was not any better. Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro asked Kamala Harris if she expects to get the results on election night. Harris once again said it may take more than one night to count ballots. The Democrats can’t win unless they cheat.

In yet another unhinged display of partisan hysteria, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski managed to cram every left-wing buzzword into one of her wildest rants to date. Desperation was written all over her face as she took to the airwaves, repeating debunked narratives and painting an apocalyptic picture of a future Trump presidency. What followed was a meltdown for the ages, complete with comparisons to Hitler, absurd claims about “fascism,” and even the ridiculous assertion that Trump is somehow “killing women.”

I like voting absentee, and I got my ballot in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I’ve spent a lot of time staring at it, not thrilled about my choices at the top of the ticket. That is, until lately. Vice President Kamala Harris, her surrogate Democrats and the left-leaning legacy media are all making me – a conservative who is not MAGA in any way – actively want to vote for former President Donald Trump. And I know I’m not alone. Harris and her fellow liberals are starting to sound a lot like the Democrats did in 2016, and it’s a huge turnoff to voters like me.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was slammed over his 'entitled' questioning of Kamala Harris at a Pennsylvania town hall Wednesday. Harris faced questions on immigration, abortion and her performance as vice president during the event which was originally intended to become the second Harris-Trump debate. But some social media users claimed Cooper used his male privilege to talk down to the vice president. 'It is infuriating how a white male feels entitled to interrupt the Vice President while she tries to answer a freaking question. Looking at you @andersoncooper,' Aaron H. wrote.

Election officials in one of the largest counties in Arizona, which ultimately decides the election in the critical swing state, are already warning Americans that voting tabulation could take weeks to conclude. Maricopa County officials are asking people for “patience” as they tally up the final votes, which they say could take between 10 and 14 days. Deputy Elections Director Jennifer Liewer blames longer-than-usual ballots and the high interest in the 2024 election. This year’s ballot in the state will be two pages long and have an average of 79 races per ballot.

Doug Emhoff's ex-girlfriend has spoken exclusively to DailyMail.com claiming that he slapped her in the face so hard she spun around at a 2012 celebrity event in France. The woman, a successful New York attorney, is remaining anonymous, but decided to speak out after Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, denied the claims through a spokesman. Emhoff's accuser, who DailyMail.com is naming only as 'Jane', initially declined to comment on the record.

Lyle and Erik Menendez will be resentenced after spending more than 30 years behind bars for the grisly 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty, in a case that captivated the nation and spawned a popular Netflix series more than three decades later. Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday that the brothers will be resentenced at a press conference packed with more than 300 journalists from around the world — and will recommend to the court that the killer siblings be eligible for parole. The final decision will be left to a judge — but
