Government Gets In The Way Of Affordable
Child Care

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 dollar is worth about what a penny was 100 years ago. Why not reverse the inflation spiral so women can stay home to raise their families and not need child care?

Government created the need for child care in the first place. It's an industry. Young couples who want what it took their parents a lifetime to acquire are partially to blame. But government-created inflation, and policies that promote illegitimate kids are the biggest factor.

Hochul says Trump’s Madison Square Garden
rally is a ‘white flag of surrender’

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said she thinks the Madison Square Garden rally former President Trump is hosting Sunday is a “white flag of surrender.” “I think he’s waving the white flag of surrender,” Hochul said Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.” He’s coming back to a city that he knows well. He’s comfortable here. Maybe he’d like to sleep in his own bed.” Hochul contrasted Trump’s rally with Vice President Harris’s itinerary. She’s campaigning in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania. Trump will be going to his “known, familiar” environment, but it won’t serve him on the campaign trail, Hochul argued.

On Sunday, former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump transformed Madison Square Garden into MAGA Square Garden, as the crowd reached capacity of reportedly over 19,000 people. In attendance was the melting pot of New York: Whites, Italians, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, all the colors on the spectrum and then some. Yeah, it's unprecedented. This is the Republican presidential candidate packing out a famous venue in deep blue New York City. For a supposedly fascist, racist, Nazi rally, something has gone horribly wrong. The comparison between Trump's MSG rally and a 1939 Nazi Party rally started with, you guessed it, the Hildebeast:

Twenty thousand MAGA die-hards flooded Madison Square Garden for a sold out rally for former President Donald Trump in New York City. Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of New York City as Madison Square Garden reached capacity ahead of the 45th president’s appearance in the Big Apple. The crowd roared with applause as RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, and Hulk Hogan took the stage.

Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) defended former President Trump’s comments suggesting using military force on Election Day to combat “the enemy within” in an interview with NBC News published Saturday. “Well, I think what Donald Trump said is that those folks pose a greater threat to the United States’s peace and security because America is strong enough to stand up to any foreign adversary,” Vance told Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. What he said, and I do agree with this, is that our greatest threat is not a foreign adversary because we can handle these guys;

Oh dear, this is going to cause a hot mess of cognitive conflict amid the extreme leftists and cultural Marxists. During his Michigan campaign rally, a litany of Muslim leaders came on stage and gave a passionate endorsement of President Donald J Trump. In 2016 the Cultural Marxists accused candidate Donald Trump of “islamophobia” for announcing a ban on travel without vetting from extremist countries; what they called a “Muslim ban.” Now, on the eve of the 2024 election, at the epicenter of a region containing the highest population of Arabs and Muslims in America,

Dozens of die-hard Trump supporters who couldn’t wait to see their candidate Sunday night at Madison Square Garden started camping outside the venue Saturday to make sure they snag a seat. As many as 100 Trump backers were lined up in lawn chairs just after midnight Sunday outside the famous arena — and some of them came as early as 10 am Saturday to a spot along 33rd Street and Sixth Avenues. “We love Trump,” Patty Vitala told the Post, “I love Trump and it’s cold out but it’s worth the wait. We want to make sure we get in.”

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.,"

With Election Day less than two weeks away, Americans are souring on Vice President Kamala Harris in the final stretch of the race for the White House. According to an aggregate of favorability ratings maintained by RealClearPolitics, the Democrats’ presidential nominee has remained underwater for more than a week with unfavourability scores rising to their highest levels since the party’s August convention. Harris is now entering the last few days of the election with a net-negative favorability rating of more than 2.5 percent as of Friday afternoon.

Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz “says” he wants to destroy America — not expressly; nonetheless with perfect clarity. Walz’s mouthpiece and education guru, Brian Lozenski, actually did say it expressly. In the embedded video, Lozenski, whom Walz appointed to craft an “ethnic studies” curriculum for Minnesota children, calls for the overthrow of the United States. (Ethnic studies, despite its harmless-sounding name, is founded on critical race theory and, like CRT, is aimed at overthrowing America.)

President Biden described the current election cycle as “decency versus lack of decency,” and called former President Trump a “loser” during a campaign stop for Vice President Harris in the swing state of Pennsylvania. “This is the most important election of our lifetime no matter how old or young you are,” Biden told the Pittsburg, Pa. audience members on Saturday. Not a joke, not a hyperbole, not about Democrat or Republican. This is decency versus lack of decency,” Biden declared. “This is about character.” The president added Harris was a “clearer” choice for the position of commander-in-chief. “The choice couldn’t be clearer. The choice couldn’t be more stark,” the president stated.

Everyone is wondering what will happen on November 5. Will Trump win the election? Or will the Democrats, aided by their Deep State operatives in the FBI and CIA, manage to “fortify” the election once again? This may surprise you, but I think he’ll win—although that’s not the end of the story, and there’s not necessarily a happy ending. Two months ago, I didn’t think Trump would win. I was confident that the same “cabal” of Deep State cronies Time Magazine wrote about in 2021—the secret junta that really rules America—would never allow Trump to win in a fair election.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, recently called Donald Trump a “fascist to the core” and “a wannabe dictator.” That such a senior military leader would feel comfortable saying this about his former boss is remarkable given that similar statements by officers have, in the past, resulted in severe punishment. The U.S. Constitution makes the president—the only democratically elected leader in the chain of command—commander in chief. Military leaders serving under the president owe him both deference and respect, regardless of whether their policy preferences differ.

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.

“Exxon Knew!” The battle cry has inflamed and inspired climate activists for decades. Since the 1970s, they allege, Exxon Knew that human-caused climate change is “real” – but lied about it, claimed there wasn’t a “crisis,” and kept marketing its “planet-killing” fuels and petrochemical feed stocks. Now activists say Exxon Knew for years that very little plastic waste is actually recycled. The oil giant is deceiving regulators and consumers with claims that all plastics are recyclable and its “advanced recycling” processes keep enormous amounts of plastics out of landfills. ExxonMobil “campaign of deception” demands a lawsuit, says California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Michelle Obama came out to support Kamala Harris during an event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday. She hasn't done much for Harris; she hasn't been out there like her husband. This is her first campaign appearance apart from the DNC in August, and we're almost at the election. She scarcely could have done less. But to be fair, surrogates Barack Obama and Bill Clinton haven't been doing well for Kamala either. They seem to be accidentally throwing her under the bus and stepping in it more than helping her. Barack basically attacked black men for not being sufficiently supportive of her and suggested they were misogynistic.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has hit the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris — but critics are panning her 11th-hour sales pitch as “racist” and “sexist” and saying that her words reveal more about her than they do about Harris. Obama ignored the possibility that Harris — who catapulted to the top of the Democratic ticket on the tidal wave of President Joe Biden’s ouster from the race — was simply a weak and unlikable candidate, and instead argued that the voters were the only possible weak link in the chain. That, she claimed, was the result of racism and sexism in the electorate.

In yet another cringeworthy staged moment, she is sitting in a bar with fellow a leftist ideologue, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, in front of largely untouched beers. See, guys? Beer!
