Biden administration weighing ‘information
czar’ for national security
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/25/2024 1:02:24 AM
The Biden administration has considered creating a new “information czar” for national security to combat foreign disinformation operations about elections and other issues, according to White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. Asked about creating such a post on the National Security Council on Thursday, Mr. Sullivan said the idea has been a topic of debate throughout the intelligence and defense agencies. Mr. Sullivan gave an audience at the National Defense University a rare glimpse inside the hidden debate about how to police foreign speech that the U.S. government finds abhorrent. “I think on the ’czar’ [proposal], that’s something we’ve been grappling with and thinking about across the national security enterprise,”

Rally With Michelle Obama: Being Completely Unhinged 6 replies
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared with Michelle Obama on Saturday evening, and things ranged from laughable to psychotic. As RedState reported, the former First Lady ranted and raved about abortion while scolding male voters for not reflexively backing Harris. To say it was tone-deaf would be too kind. I'd instead go with psychotic regarding the following clip. But while Michelle Obama made headlines for being so tone-deaf and demeaning, Harris got noticed for a different reason: She was completely unhinged. HARRIS: Should never again (starts yelling) stand behind the seal of the United States! Never again! Never again! Never again!
At this time of a probable losing national campaign, when the number of days left to catch up slowly dwindles close to single digits, campaign aides, surrogates, and party leaders begin the process of forming the traditional circular firing squad.
These are political professionals whose cred rests solely on their track record. There are no points for finishing second. It is vital to their future employment prospects that they avoid the stink of defeat at all costs.
Hence, finger-pointing. Axios, one of the most plugged-in left-wing news sites, reports that after "scores of conversations with people close to Harris and intimately involved in swing-state races," the broad consensus is that
Desperation time? The front page of Thursday’s New York Times bluntly blamed sexism for Kamala Harris’s campaign woes. Reporters Lisa Lerer and Katie Glueck bitterly lamented “The Quiet, Stubborn Aversion To Putting a Woman in Power.”
With less than two weeks left before Election Day, a big question is looming over the campaign for the White House, and it has nothing to do with the economy or the barrage of attacks between former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris over judgment, character and mental fitness.
It is gender. With less than two weeks left before Election Day, a big question is looming over the campaign for the White House,
Just how can we measure the Kamala Harris disaster that took place Wednesday night at the CNN 'town hall' event? Her supporters apparently inundated moderator Anderson Cooper with complaints and insults for daring to challenge Harris with questions about policies and her record, as he told Charlamagne Tha God and podcaster Angela Rye last night.
Now he knows how Bret Baier felt for asking a perfectly normal set of questions.
Needless to say, just as with the Baier interview a week earlier, the level of outrage aimed at the interviewer gives a very good indicator of how these events went for Harris.
Less than two weeks before Election Day, former president Donald Trump sat down with popular podcast host Joe Rogan for nearly three hours for a wide-ranging interview that included a trademark discussion of life on Mars, the mental health of whales, and some Trump campaign greatest hits on the failures of the Biden-Harris administration.
The interview has generated significant buzz since it was announced last week, given that the Joe Rogan Experience is the most popular podcast on Spotify, with an audience of more than 14 million listeners tuning into the program on the digital-music service alone, not to mention the massive audience that views Rogan’s interviews on YouTube,

NASA says 5 replies
Three NASA astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut were unexpectedly transferred to a medical facility in Florida rather than returning to their home base in Houston after their splashdown early Friday morning aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.
One of those astronauts remained in the hospital Friday afternoon with a “medical issue,” while the three others flew to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston after a health evaluation at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola, a hospital near the crew’s splashdown site in the Gulf of Mexico.

Democrats have long tapped Hollywood celebrities to amplify their message. The Democratic National Convention had its fair share, and Kamala has been increasingly relying on celebrities to help boost attendance at her rallies. She had Lizzo at her rally in Detroit, and Bruce Springsteen has been performing at battleground state rallies.
When rumors swirled about a “mystery guest” set to appear on the Democratic National Convention, the media went into a frenzy. Networks like ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and NBC all jumped on the “Beyoncé is coming to the DNC” bandwagon, and TMZ even confirmed Beyoncé would perform at the convention.
Donald Trump could win the popular vote, the New York Times’s Nate Cohn wrote Friday, which would provide the former president with a mandate.
Cohn’s admission Trump could not only win the Electoral College vote but also claim the popular vote underscores the establishment media’s acknowledgment of Trump’s momentum with just 11 days until election.
The latest Time’s polling, published Friday, shows Trump is winning by one point nationally (with third party candidates included).
Cohn reported on the possibility of Trump winning the popular vote, which has not been won by a Republican in 20 years:

Kamala Harris lives in California and works in Washington, D.C. And over the past few days, California’s biggest newspaper and D.C’s biggest newspaper both decided to withhold their endorsements of her candidacy for president.
And they aren’t alone: In 2016, over 240 newspapers formally endorsed Hillary Clinton. (Only 20 endorsed the eventual winner, Donald Trump.)
Four years later, fewer than 14 endorsed Trump. That was an awfully big drop…
…but not nearly as big as the drop between the past two female Democratic candidates:
New York Times reporter, social media censorship supporter, and First Amendment non-fan Steven Lee Myers’ “news analysis” led Thursday’s front page: “Voters Strain Under Deluge Of Untruths -- Disinformation Climbs to a Sordid New Peak.”
And who’s responsible? The Russians, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans in general.
Myers noted false claims from Russia about Gov. Tim Walz being spread on social media by a Florida deputy sheriff, then transitioned smoothly to blame “the world’s richest man, Elon Musk” for helping spread it. (Musk is a billionaire that the Times feels free to criticize, unlike George Soros, who the paper shields by accusing conservative critics of anti-Semitism.)
Former President Donald Trump called being president a “very dangerous business,” citing his two close calls with would-be assassins in a highly anticipated Joe Rogan interview that was released Friday night.
During his nearly three-hour appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” — which generated more than 350,000 views within 30 minutes of it going live — Trump repeatedly referred to the role of the presidency as a dangerous position, suggesting that pundits and officials don’t want to talk about the attempts on his life.
“I do things that don’t necessarily make me so popular. I just do what’s right,” the 78-year-old Republican presidential nominee said.
It was just a few weeks ago that we learned that Iran hacked the Trump campaign and leaked (rather anodyne) documents to the world's media.
More recently, we learned that China hacked our telecoms and got access to phone and internet taps that were created by our intelligence "community," and while the information put out suggested that the information they got was only from accounts that the federal government was watching, I had my doubts about that.
Now we learn that China has been going after (getting?) data from President Trump's and J.D. Vance's phones.

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D) on Thursday tried to link former President Donald Trump (R) to Nazis.
During an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Clinton said, “One other thing that you’ll see next week, Kaitlan, is Trump actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939. I write about this in my book,” Fox News reported.“President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-Nazis, fascists in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany. So I don’t think we can ignore it,” she continued.
Residents of Vermont say their famously beautiful, verdant state is increasingly blighted by homelessness, crime, drug addiction and other social problems in its bigger towns and cities.
Downtown areas of Burlington and Brattleboro, among other cities, were too dangerous to walk at night, following reports of passers-by being attacked by thugs, locals told DailyMail.com.
Some blame the crises on costly social programs in a Democrat-leaning state that has Bernie Sanders as a senator and gave President Joe Biden a 36-point landslide win in 2020.
A “frustrated” Michelle Obama attacked Donald Trump during her first campaign trail appearance for Kamala Harris, worrying that the US “will blow this opportunity to finally turn the page on the ugliness” by re-electing the former president.
The former first lady did not shy away from slamming the 45th president and his supporters alike during an impassioned speech at Harris’ rally in Kalamazoo, Mich. — her first time stumping for the vice president since the Democratic National Convention in August.
Trump supporters and undecided voters hold Harris to a high and unfair double standard while letting the ex-commander in chief coast with little criticism, Obama claimed.
A total of 194 players will be competing in this week's LPGA Qualifying Series in hopes of punching their ticket into December's final stage of qualifying school (Q-School) to earn an opportunity to earn an LPGA card. Among the nearly 200-person field is transgender golfer Hailey Davidson, whose inclusion may align with LPGA's current gender policy, but not with the vast majority of fellow competitors.
Davidson advanced through the pre-qualifying stage of Q-School in August after finishing in a tie for 42nd and was allowed to do so despite more than 275 female players voicing their concerns over a biological male competing in women's golf.
Can you feel the joy now?
NBC’s Parks and Recreation actor Nick Offerman is getting slammed after he released a new election-themed music video that celebrates a senior citizen being repeatedly punched and kicked in the stomach by a group of kids because he didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, with Offerman warning people that this could be their fate if they sit out the November election.
“You’d better vote / don’t let this moment pass / or future generations will kick your wrinkly ass,” he sings.
The song also advocates for kids to chase down seniors, flog them with their canes, and to even “break your brittle bones.”
The infamous Washington Post reporters who uncovered Watergate have slammed the paper's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate.
The Washington Post announced on Friday that it would not back a presidential candidate, marking the first time in 36 years that the left-leaning paper has declined to do so.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein later released a joint statement to CNN in which they expressed their disappointment in the Post's decision. It said: 'We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election
The Harris-Walz campaign now has the Left eating itself.
On Tuesday the Los Angeles Times declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president. On Friday, the Washington Post said the same. And now, a Hollywood leftist vs. Democrat media complex civil war has kicked off for the world to see, with major entertainment industry figures flaunting their canceled subscriptions and bashing billionaires on Trump-backer Elon Musk’s X.
The Batman and James Bond movie star Jeffrey Wright shared a screenshot of his WaPo cancellation, saying “Washington Post. Hometown paper. Grew up with it. Bye, byatch.”

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos reportedly put the kibosh on the paper endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election — leading to one editorial board member to quit and backlash from its left-leaning staff.
The Beltway broadsheet said Friday that it will not endorse either candidate, breaking 36 years of tradition, following a “tense” newsroom, according to NPR.
The newspaper then published an article written by two reporters saying that editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement for the Democratic nominee Harris over former President Donald Trump.
I’m going to skip most of the nonsense about the “Raskin Letter” [SEE HERE] to focus on the part that few will notice or report.
The process that Jamie Raskin is angry about, is a transition process that was created by Barack Obama and his GSA administrative state allies, to control all aspects of an incoming administration in opposition to the system that Obama created. This was the reinforcement cement in the “fundamental change” pillar.(snip)President Trump’s planned 2025 transition team are simply refusing to repeat the mistakes of the 2017 transition process that ended up with the GSA willfully impeding the peaceful transition of power, by targeting the incoming administration.
Iran's Islamist regime has never made a secret of its ambitions. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who seized power following the overthrow of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and established the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, said: "We shall export our revolution to the whole world. Until the cry 'There is no god but Allah' resounds over the whole world, there will be struggle."
Ignoring the warning signs will only make the price Europe pays even higher.
The question is, how much more aggression will Europe tolerate before it recognizes the full extent of the threat?

Strap yourselves in for this one, folks.
You think you know TDS, but the witch community — it exists, and they outnumber CNN viewers — hate Donald Trump so much that they're attempting to cast spells on him in order to force him to lose the 2024 election, or maybe even possibly, a lot more than that.
But they seem to be having trouble.
In the subreddit "r/WitchesVsPatriarchy," user "feelmycocobeats" claims that witches have been mentioning that doing spells "directly against tRump are not as effective as we might hope as he seems to have some kind of protection around him."
As Israel engages in targeted military action against Iran, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are facing backlash for prioritizing personal engagements — Biden’s weekend trip to Delaware and Harris’s Texas rally featuring Beyoncé — amid growing concerns that a lack of U.S. leadership at such a crucial moment could further destabilize the Middle East. Israel’s current offensive actions against Iranian military sites have triggered high alert across the region, yet President Biden and Vice President Harris have remained engaged with personal and campaign-related activities, raising concerns about the administration’s handling of an escalating crisis
