Former President Donald Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan that pharmaceutical executives were not “thrilled” that he teamed up with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a Friday interview.
Kennedy endorsed Trump and announced the suspension of his campaign on Aug. 23, ten months after launching his independent bid, following his split with Democrats over issues including censorship, the war in Ukraine, illegal immigration, the party’s failure to hold primary debates and primary rules that gave President Joe Biden an advantage. When Rogan asked if anyone had urged Trump not to work with Kennedy, the former president revealed some pushback from pharmaceutical company executives.
President Donald Trump announced last week that he will hold a MASSIVE rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, October 27, 2024, at 5:00 PM EDT.
According to the Trump Campaign, 50,000 have signed up to attend this historic rally in New York City!
And we are proud to announce that The Gateway Pundit will be covering the pre-rally LIVE outside of Madison Square Garden.
LOOK FOR US LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY!
Former US Rep. George Santos, along with Cara Castronuova and Jordan Conradson, will broadcast live outside Madison Square Garden.
Pro-life advocate Bevelyn Beatty Williams voluntarily surrendered on October 16 at FCI Aliceville in Alabama for protesting outside a Manhattan abortion clinic in June 2020. The married, 33-year-old mother of one was sentenced in July to 41 months in prison for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
According to the July 24, 2024 press release from Damian Williams, the U.S. district attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Ms. Williams was indicted “in connection with her interference, including by threats and force, with individuals seeking to obtain and provide lawful reproductive health services at a reproductive health center in Manhattan.”

Two women who think they’re men competed in a women’s soccer match in Spain, according to multiple reports. The women are taking hormones to “transition” to live as men.
Reportedly, Club Esportiu Europa, based in Barcelona, played this past weekend. Two players, Alex Alcaide Llanos and Nil Alcon Labella, are “transitioning” from female to male.
The New York Post noted that both players had “facial hair clearly visible” and that both are banned from playing in the men’s leagues because they have not completed their transitions (via NYP)
Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman opened up about the state of the presidential race in his key battleground state and called former President Trump’s support there “astonishing” while predicting that Elon Musk’s endorsement is “going to really matter.”
“There’s a difference between not understanding, but also acknowledging that it exists,” Fetterman told the New York Times in an interview published Saturday morning when asked about enthusiasm for Trump in Pennsylvania. “And anybody who spends time driving around, and you can see the intensity. It’s astonishing.”
Fetterman continued, “I was doing an event in Indiana County. Very, very red. And there was a superstore of Trump stuff, and it was
A watchdog group on Friday issued a complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, saying an “entirely political” email from the Biden-Harris Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to Medicare recipients should be investigated as a Hatch Act violation.
The complaint cites a report from The Daily Wire about a taxpayer-funded email blast that was sent in September from HHS and praised Vice President Kamala Harris.
The email went to everyone signed up to receive updates on the government’s Medicare program, which is used by 66 million people. It featured a letter from President Joe Biden highlighting the administration’s “historic reforms” to the program,
U.S. intel corroborated an exclusive USA TODAY report about how authorities believed Russia was behind the widely viewed pro-Trump, anti-Harris video. U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed that a viral video spreading online showing mail-in ballots being destroyed in the key battleground suburb of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is a hoax perpetrated by Russia as part of its covert effort to help elect former President Donald Trump.
A federal official exclusively told USA TODAY on Friday that authorities believed that was the case, based on the specifics of the video and the fact that it was targeting Vice President Kamala Harris and trying to boost Trump's electoral chances.
Ah, the “wisdom” of the swamp! That repository of dated, derivative, “inside the box” political thought that turns into a campaign’s coffin. Fortunately, for the swamp’s denizens, there’s a sucker—er, campaign—born every cycle, ensuring riches remain to be made. Pundits earn a handsome living providing free political advice. Rarely does a candidate or their campaign heed it and if they do, it is invariably to their detriment. The reason is simple: it is rarely realistic or right. The only thing rarer is the pundit being held accountable for spewing their inanities to the masses and the consequences that follow. But, hey, that’s entertainment.
Could it be that the people in New York City are finally getting tired of Democrats?
Well, maybe a little bit. At least now, there's evidence afoot of something pretty remarkable and moving in the right direction in the deep blue city. Perhaps it explains why former President Donald Trump will be there, holding a rally at Madison Square Garden, on Sunday. In 2020, Joe Biden was up on Trump by 53 points, as one might expect in such a leftist stronghold, 76 to 23 percent
But fast forward to 2024, it's Kamala Harris in play and the gap has narrowed considerably.
If you haven't had a chance to watch Trump's three-hour interview with Joe Rogan, don't worry, I'm gonna tell you what I think was the most important part. It was a rather telling moment, when Rogan started to ask him about bad advice he may have been given while he was president. Trump, used the opportunity to answer a key question that you don't see many politicians willing to answer honestly.
"Oh, yeah. I think so. The one question that you'll ask me, that I think you'll ask me, that people seem to ask, and I always come up with the same answer.,"
By all accounts, the presidential election is so close that a relatively few votes in any given state could make all the difference. And, since a recent survey showed nearly 9 in 10 parents said a candidate’s position on child care access and affordability would help determine their vote, it’s no wonder both major contenders are talking about how they’re going to help lower the cost of child care.
Critics have panned Kamala Harris’ idea to cap child care expenses as a percentage of income,
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.

From American Men to Kamala Harris: 'It's
Not Us, It's You' replies
In this 2024 election season, it's well into "closing the deal" time. Donald Trump and JD Vance are hitting the battleground states hard, and Kamala Harris is... hanging out with entertainers. On Saturday, an advertisement not from the Trump campaign but from the "MAHA (Make American Healthy Again) Alliance" came out, and I have to say, it's one of the most powerful political advertisements I've seen in quite a while. It speaks to one of Harris' weaknesses - men.
Watch: (X Video) The ad begins:

National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez blasted Vice President Kamala Harris (D) on Friday for her Houston, Texas, rally with celebrities as migrant crime threatens Americans.
“Thank you president. I really respect the fact that you came out to Texas to highlight migrant crime, illegal alien crime,” Perez told former President Donald Trump (R) during a news conference on Friday, according to Fox News:
(X Video) “I wanna talk about the person that’s gonna be coming to Houston tonight, not to apologize or highlight illegal alien crime, but to party like a fool onstage with celebrities instead of apologizing to the families,” Perez continued:
The Los Angeles Times announced a few days ago that it would not endorse a presidential candidate this year. That decision apparently was dictated by the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, after an editorial endorsing Kamala Harris had already been drafted. Times editor Mariel Garza resigned in protest
Mayor Adams defended Donald Trump Saturday, slamming claims from Democrats that the Republican nominee is a “fascist” who could be compared to Adolf Hitler.
“I have had those comments hurled at me by some political leaders in the city; my answer is ‘No,’ ” an embattled Adams said when asked about the criticism of Trump.
“I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I have called for over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all dial down the temperature,” added Adams, a moderate Dem currently facing federal corruption charges.
Kamala's Inane Talking Points
replies
As Vice President Kamala Harris slips in the polls, the Democratic National Committee/Harris campaign/mainstream media fusion talking points become even more absurd.Claiming that JD Vance and Donald Trump were "weird" did not work --especially given the genuinely odd behavior of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and would-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
Nor was the next Harris meme convincing that the frenetic and non-stop Trump was somehow "exhausted," "senile," and "confused." Voters know the workdays of the younger Harris are usually far shorter -- or sometimes not workdays at all.
But Harris also falsely claimed the physically and mentally challenged President Joe Biden was,
Yesterday, President Trump appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience as a guest with America’s most popular interviewer, 58-year-old Joe Rogan. Although he did not appear to be a fan of President Trump in 2016 or 2020, Rogan’s opinion of the outspoken champion of America seems to have shifted during the COVID lockdowns, especially when the government, colleges and universities, corporations, and even small businesses began implementing vaccine mandates for an experimental vaccine.
The mainstream Democrat Party media immediately turned on Rogan. They mocked him mercilessly when the independent thinker refused to be vaccinated after testing positive for COVID-19 and opted, instead, to treat his illness with Ivermectin.
Former President Donald Trump sat down with podcast host Joe Rogan on Friday for a nearly three-hour interview. Trump candidly spoke on a wide array of topics.
,(snip)
In the freewheeling conversation, Trump began by reflecting on his years as a businessman and reality TV host on “The Apprentice” before entering politics in 2015. Until then, his engagement with politics, during a time when he was a Democrat, had been as a donor, he said.
(snip)
“I had two things that I was focused on: governing the country and survival,” Trump said, saying that once he took office “they came down” on him.
“I mean nobody has ever been treated that way,”
Everything about that highly promoted New York Times “interview” with former Trump White House Chief of Staff John Kelly — a general, if you haven’t heard! — reeked of fakery. But a piece of audio from the recorded phone conversations between Kelly and the Times reporter that wasn’t released until two days after the article proves just how artificial it truly was. (snip)For the interviewer to ask the subject whether there’s anything else “we need to talk about” or “is this enough?” sounds a lot less like a probing interview (snip)more like the seeking of a mutual understanding that their shared goal was achieved
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.
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.
For a candidate who claims to be about 'good vibes' and 'joy,' Kamala Harris sure knows how to kill a buzz.
A USA Today article covering her Friday night rally in Texas said it all: 'Beyoncé endorses Kamala Harris at Houston rally, but doesn't perform.'
If Queen B liked Harris she would have put a ring on it! After Harris announced that Beyoncé would join her in Houston this week many outlets reported that Jay-Z's much-better half would sing. That's kind of the point, right?
So, imagine the disappointment when Beyoncé walked out last night and announced: 'I'm not here as a celebrity, I'm not here as

against mass immigration: ‘Serious problem
for blacks’ replies
There is at least one Harris who doesn’t believe in open borders.
Donald Harris, an emeritus professor at Stanford University, issued a warning against mass immigration of low-skilled workers in a 1988 treatise he co-authored titled “Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s.”
Harris, now 86, was unequivocal at the time. (Photo) “Trends in international trade have moved against U.S. workers,” he wrote. “U.S. immigration laws have been modified in ways that increase the influx of low-skilled workers, who compete with native-born youths and low-skilled adult workers for low-skilled jobs.
If there is one data point above all that suggests Donald Trump and JD Vance are headed for a resounding victory on Nov. 5, it is this: By a nearly 40-point margin in the polling average, Americans are more inclined to believe the country is currently on the wrong track than the right track. There are other reasons to believe the 45th president is peaking at the best possible time and that dimwitted California commie Kamala Harris is cratering at the worst possible time, but the stubbornness of the right-track/wrong-track polling has surely led to many sleepless nights at Harris-Walz campaign headquarters.

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,
Worried about Vice President Kamala Harris potentially facing a Republican-controlled Senate if she wins the White House, two Democratic strategists tell NewsNation senators are discussing an emergency plan to approve her Cabinet during a December Senate session. (Snip) To solve this issue for Democrats, strategists told NewsNation that the most extreme plan is for current Democratic President Joe Biden’s Cabinet to resign during his lame-duck Senate session. Biden would then appoint Harris’ picks, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would then confirm the new Cabinet with his current 51 to 49 Senate. One source, however, conceded that this might not
At least 12 mailed ballots were stolen in a rural Colorado county and then sent in with fraudulent votes, three of which slipped past county election officials and were counted in next month's general election, state officials said Thursday.
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.

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.
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.

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.
Joe Rogan interviewed former President Donald Trump on Friday.
As we reported, Kamala Harris' people said that they couldn't do it because of "scheduling." Bad move, given they're having trouble with male voters. Harris instead did an interview with someone who doesn't have anywhere near the reach of Rogan. But "scheduling," they said. Now, there was a report that she decided not to do it because Trump agreed to no limits and Kamala wouldn't. (X) But Rogan and Trump gave a fun preview. (X Video) It was three hours of just conversation — no way that Kamala could have done it, given her limitations.

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."
Editor’s Note: The Nation’s editorial board has not withdrawn its endorsement of Kamala Harris for president. However, a separate statement by The Nation’s interns voices disagreement with this endorsement, describing it as “unearned and disappointing.”
Kamala Harris, long considered a “rising star” among the far-left, has been abruptly stripped of an endorsement by The Nation, the storied leftist news outlet with deep historical ties to progressive causes.
The Nation is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States. It was founded on July 6, 1865, making it one of the longest-running publications in American history.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration has carried out a so-called “quiet amnesty” for nearly a million illegal aliens in the United States whose immigration court cases have been shuttered, a bombshell report from the House Judiciary Committee reveals.
The report details how the Biden-Harris administration has inflated the nation’s immigration court backlog with more than 3.7 million new cases since the start of Fiscal Year 2021, including more than 1.5 million new cases in the first three quarters of Fiscal Year 2024. “The Biden-Harris administration has used the immigration court backlog as an excuse to allow even more aliens to remain in the country,” the report alleges:
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.
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.
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
Israel launched airstrikes at military targets in Iran early Saturday in retaliation for Tehran’s ballistic barrage of 200 rockets targeting the Jewish state earlier this month, the Israeli military confirmed.
Multiple explosions were reported near Tehran, Iran’s capital, and the nearby city of Karaj as Israel’s initial strikes appeared to have targeted a weapons depot, along with a barracks or office, senior Arab officials told NBC News.
“It was so loud and the sky became red,” said an Iranian resident in Tehran, who asked not to be named.

Post’s Kamala Harris endorsement: ‘This

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.
The #WalkAway Campaign, the largest national movement of former Democrats, has released a powerful new video showcasing a roundtable discussion among diverse American minorities who have chosen to leave the Democratic Party. The video features candid conversations with members of black, Hispanic, Chinese, and LGBT communities, who express concerns over the party’s association with hatred, division, and an erosion of American values.
#WalkAway Campaign was founded by Brandon Straka in 2018, and has seen hundreds of thousands of disaffected Democrats join the movement, and share video and written testimonials about why they can no longer support the political left.
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?
Joe Rogan and former President Donald Trump roasted Vice President Kamala Harris for abandoning her left-wing policies and stealing Trump’s. “I’m gonna send her a MAGA cap,” the 45th president said on Friday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
“She was ‘Defund the Police,’ she was for all these transgender operations,” Trump said of Harris, adding, “You know, if you wanted a sex change and you were in detention, and you demanded a sex change, they would give you a sex change.” Rogan chimed in, saying, “Well, the wildest one is this idea of giving free sex changes to illegal immigrants,” to which Trump replied, “That’s right– in detention.”
Former President Donald Trump spoke about how being a politician is a “very dangerous business” during an interview with Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experience.
During the interview, Rogan told Trump that “one of the beautiful things” about him is that he holds “huge events” and just talks, adding that Trump had “comedic instincts.” Trump added that in the business of politics, you need to have the “attitude of a comedian,” adding that it is a “dangerous” and “tough” business. One of the beautiful things about you is that you freeball,” Rogan said. “You get out and you do these huge events, and you’re just talking.
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
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.
It's on. Almost a month after Iran attacked Israel with an estimated 200 ballistic missiles, the Israelis have begun their promised retaliatory strikes. Unlike the Iranian attack, the Israelis have apparently hit and destroyed several strategic targets, and the attack continues to unfold:
In a statement, the IDF says it is carrying out “precise strikes” on Iranian military targets, in response to “months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel.”
“The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” the military says.
Kate Brown moved to Washington for politics. But on election week, she’s leaving town for the same reason.
“I just want to get the eff out of Dodge,” Brown told me recently. “I don’t feel like dealing with it.”
“It,” in this case, doesn’t mean the tension of working an election. Brown does marketing and communications for mostly libertarian policy wonks, and election week isn’t exactly a busy time for book talks and white papers. Instead, she’s worried about safety — though she can’t quite picture exactly what the threat looks like.
“I’m not entirely sure what’s going to happen,”

Shoppers at a Chicago convenience store delivered eye-opening responses to who they would be voting for in the presidential election.
With less than two weeks to go before the pivotal 2024 election, Americans in the heartland stunned a convenience store worker with their passionate responses when asked whether they would be voting for the Democrat nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.
With Harris and Trump courting the black and Latino vote in the waning weeks of the election cycle, Democrats have been confident the voting blocs will still come out in favor of their candidate. But, in a video posted by Harris supporter and YouTuber Khalid Attaf, things may not be so rosy.

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.”

“When they tried to kill Trump, someone that I knew personally, it affected me worse,” Hogan said. “I sat up off the couch, and I said, ‘That’s it, this has to stop.’ I don’t want to split my audience as a businessman, but now I don’t care. This is much more important than business.
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.”
