Derangement of a Never Trumper
replies
David French’s current New York Times column is the manifesto of a self-described Never Trumper. French recounts the four lessons he claims to have learned from his nine years of opposition to Trump. They seem to me to be deeply deluded.
Lesson number one is that “Community is more powerful than ideology.” French’s point here is that Trump is not a Reaganite purist, but nevertheless has been embraced by the Republican Party. But French completely fails to acknowledge the many ways in which Trump aligns, ideologically, with the Republicanism that has been mainstream since the 1980s.

History repeated itself on Sunday – sort of – when Donald Trump appeared at Madison Square Garden with a member of the Kennedy family during the ex-president’s boisterous rally.
Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. both took the stage at different points inside the World’s Most Famous Arena 25 years after the businessman sat courtside at a New York Knicks game with John F. Kennedy Jr. months before he died in a plane crash.

History was made today when President Trump held a sold-out rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump cemented his image as the biggest showman in U.S. politics by bringing his Make America Great Again road show to the world’s most iconic arena.
Taking a detour from crucial battleground states, Mr. Trump, joined by a star-studded cast of surrogates, told the thousands who flocked to see him at New York’s Madison Square Garden that the election is a stark choice between the status quo’s “gross incompetence” and the dawn of the “four greatest years in the history of our country.”
“I’m thrilled to be back in the city I love,” Mr. Trump said. “I’d like to begin by asking a very simple question:
On the morning of former President Donald Trump’s historic Madison Square Garden rally, thousands of supporters lined up nearly six hours before he was scheduled to take the stage. Tickets for the event, which seats nearly 20,000 people, were first-come, first-serve and were sold out within minutes of being announced. Political icons such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tucker Carlson, Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance, and Democrat-turned-Republican Tulsi Gabbard are set to speak at the rally. Music artists, Trump family members, Elon Musk, and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White will also attend, who will reportedly tell the crowd how Trump is “the best choice to fix everything

'She had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history,' Luntz said.The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

Newly-minted Republican Tulsi Gabbard singled out one key point of former President Donald Trump’s White House run that had Democrats “freaked out” that should give the GOP hope.
Joined by fellow transition team member Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the Reclaim America Tour, the former Hawaii congresswoman spoke to Trump bucking the establishment in preparing for his potential return to office. Primarily, she addressed how the team had snubbed taxpayer funding and the strings that come attached to maintain a private enterprise “that is already getting to work.”

This was always going to be a tough year for Senate Democrats because Republicans have the most favorable Senate map they’ve had in years. Assuming Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) prevails in his race against Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), who he’s currently leading in the RealClearPolitics average of polls by 4.2 points, and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) defeats his opponent, former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL), whom he is leading by an average of 5 points, Republicans are widely expected to take back control of the Senate in November.
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.

Ten reasons to vote Republican
replies
In the section of Wheeling in which I grew up, there was rumored to be a single Republican. We divined his political affiliation from the short sleeve white shirt and skinny black tie he wore to work each day. Even in the 1960s, no one dressed that way unless you were a Republican.
In the first presidential election in which I could vote, I supported George McGovern and ran to be elected a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. I lost. So did George, who could not even claim to be victimized by the Electoral College. Richard Nixon carried 49 states.
The natural cynic in me is loathe to ever partake in analyzing early voting numbers, but there is one exception. Jon Ralston has a long history of breaking down the data in Nevada and has proven that his model should be taken seriously. With that said, it's panic time for Kamala Harris.
Ralston has released his latest blog on the early returns, and they paint a picture of a race slipping away from the Harris campaign. Things are so bad that she'd now need to dramatically overperform with independents to make up the difference. Republicans have increased their statewide lead to 31,000. That’s right at 5 percent.
A desperate Kamala Harris copied Trump and visited a barbershop in Philly to pander to the black community after black women in the deep blue city previously came out in support of Trump.
Black voters in Philadelphia are rejecting Kamala Harris and voting for President Trump.
“At the end of the day, I don’t think she has what it takes to go up against Putin — and go up against these other presidents that are built for this,” one black female voter in Philly said last week.
As we reported, a Democrat appointee nominee Kamala Harris PAC thought the best thing to do in the final days of the presidential campaign was to drop an ad featuring a dude masturbating. Seriously. They imply that “fascists” will burst into his room to stop him should Trump and other Republicans prevail in the November 5 elections.
The desperation is palpable.
GOP nominee Donald Trump, meanwhile, aired a stirring commercial during the third quarter of the Eagles-Bengals game Sunday and reminded us of why this election is one of the most consequential of our lives. It isn’t about vibes, or “joy,” or Nazis;

When former President Donald Trump’s campaign announced it would be holding a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Democrats and their close friends and allies in the activist media pounced on the opportunity to further their “Trump is a Nazi/Fascist/Hitler” narrative.
Folks on the left claimed Trump chose that venue supposedly to reenact a Nazi rally that was held at the arena in 1939. (Snip) Yet, footage circulating on social media shows members of Jews for Trump attending the rally to prop up the former president. Apparently, they didn’t get the memo about the former president being “literally Hitler.”
Vice President Kamala Harris held a rally in Houston on Friday to promote her campaign's obsession on abortion. She was also there campaign for Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, who is looking to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. The event also featured a crowd of abortionists on stage, though they raised some eyebrows with their response to an actual medical emergency occurring at the event.
Dr. Todd Ivey, the abortionist who gave remarks during this pro-abortion rally, was making claims about "women becoming severely ill and dying," which is the result of medical malpractice rather than state pro-life laws, as doctors are permitted to intervene.

Pennsylvania Trump supporters claimed that they received threatening letters in the mail from an anonymous writer, demanding that they not vote for former President Donald Trump a week before the election.
Voters in Philadelphia said they received a letter sent through the U.S. Postal Service using a fake copy of a Trump campaign letterhead. The note began by saying, “Dear neighbor,” before listing why they should not vote for Trump and Vice Presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
The letter had a grim warning to Trump supporters.
The author warned the reader that they “know where you live” and “you are in the database.”
Former President Donald Trump secured the endorsement of some of the top Muslim leaders in Michigan Saturday night because he “promises peace, not war.”
During his rally in Novi, Michigan, Trump invited several "highly respected" Muslim leaders and Imams on stage to accept their endorsement. The men declared their support for the 45th president because they believed he could end wars and bring peace back to the Middle East. They also applauded his commitment to strong family values.
Imam Belal Alzuhairi declared Trump the president of “peace” and the only one who can stop bloodshed worldwide. He also said that God is watching over the former president,
ncredible as it seems, at least to me, it is the four-year anniversary of this outline [GO DEEP].During the rushed debate over the Patriot Act, was when I first heard political officials talking about the importance of “continuity of government.”
I immediately recognized what all these DC voices were describing was a construct of a post-911 government that would exist and maintain itself without the elected representatives of WeThe People.
The intelligence gathering and homeland security system put into place after the Patriot Act was passed, is a bureaucratic administrative state without the presence of elected officials controlling the apparatus. That leads to the following question:
Over 100 planes were involved in the attack on Iran on Saturday, including the cutting-edge F-35.
Israel’s preliminary strike on radar targets in Syria was aimed at “blinding” Iran’s capabilities, quickly escalating into an offensive targeting Tehran and Karaj, Iran’s capital and another strategic location.
The IDF confirmed the operation focused strictly on military targets, steering clear of nuclear and oil facilities to prevent wider conflict escalation. High alert remains as Israel anticipates potential retaliation, not only from Iran. This large-scale assault involved over 100 aircraft, including F-35 “Adir” stealth fighters, traveling approximately 2,000 kilometers. According to foreign reports, strikes focused on Tehran and Karaj,
A Florida woman was found guilty of second-degree murder Friday after authorities said she zipped her boyfriend up in a suitcase and left him for dead back in 2020.

They thought “it would be funny” to hop in a suitcase as a part of the game, according to an arrest affidavit from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Either we're all falling for an incredibly elaborate psyop, or the Harris-Walz campaign is in so much trouble even foreign media outlets can sense it. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Kamala Harris’s campaign is facing intense scrutiny as Democrats worry she’s losing ground in the 2024 race. Her recent week has been plagued by sinking poll numbers, criticism from her own party, and a widely criticized CNN town hall. To make matters worse, Donald Trump had a successful photo op at McDonald's and managed to score an interview with Joe Rogan, which got huge ratings. Harris now trails Trump in critical swing state
Last week, the women’s volleyball team at the University of Nevada forfeited its game against San Jose State due to the team’s concern about playing against a transgender player. Still, the forfeit came despite the pressure from Nevada administrators to play the game anyway.
Nevada’s athletic department officially announced the forfeit on Friday, noting that the team would not have enough players to take the court.
The school initially announced that the team would play against SJSU, but the women on the team seemed to have other ideas and announced that they did not intend to play. Further, they criticized the school for making decisions for them without even asking their opinions.
The Kamala Harris campaign is deeply worried that it isn’t getting traction among male voters, and is resorting to increasingly desperate — and inexplicable — measures to try to appeal to them. The Trump War Room on Sunday published a video of the Candidate of Joy herself in the midst of her latest attempt to move that particular needle. 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! That means, vote for Harris!

Before 8 a.m. huge crowds of supporters of all ages bearing American flags and Trump merch could already be seen in the cold morning air just waiting for for the countdown to Trump’s big moment in the heart of the city.

MSG at near capacity for Trump as MAGA die-hards flood NYC:
Jews and other New Yorkers flocked to a rally for Donald Trump on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan — a rally that the Kamala Harris campaign and other Democrats have falsely claimed is a “Nazi rally.”
Huge crowds gathered for the rally at the popular Manhattan venue, home to the New York Knicks and, until recently, a Billy Joel residency that lasted several years. (Joel, notably, is Jewish, and once wore a yellow star on stage in 2017.) Jews were visible among those gathered — including Orthodox and Hasidic Jews, distinguished by their black hats:
Horrifying viral video captured a woman shouting in a little girl’s face outside Kamala Harris’ Houston rally featuring Beyoncé — as appalled onlookers yelled and tried to push the agitator away.
The shocking footage appears to have been at the Houston Metro station outside Shell Energy Stadium on Friday, where the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer spoke at Harris’ event to a crowd of 30,000 and endorsed the Veep.
The woman, wearing a light blue T-shirt, can be seen bending over and yelling in the face of a little girl sitting in a stroller.
A Hamas source tells the Saudi channel Asharq News that the terror group will present negotiators with a comprehensive deal for an immediate end to the war and a withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, and the exchange of a certain number of Palestinian detainees in return for the release of all Israeli hostages at once. The offer is expected to be submitted following the meeting that US, Qatari and Israeli negotiators are holding in Doha today to prepare for new talks for a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
Of late, many people — especially politicians, pundits and celebrities on the left — have been engaged in agonizing introspection, trying to ascertain why the election has seemed to tip towards former President Donald Trump.
In my estimation, much of the reasoning comes down to an example of “life imitating art.” In this case, such “art” being the 1986 movie “Back to School,” starring Rodney Dangerfield. Now, while some of the entitled, entrenched elites on the left might ignorantly and snobbishly scoff at such a theory — part of the reason they may soon be on the outside looking in — it has real validity.
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared briefly rattled after she was heckled by an anti-Israel protester at a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan on Saturday — even as the crowd turned to boos to drown out the critic.
Harris, 60, had begun speaking after former first lady Michelle Obama’s withering attack on her rival and was riffing on the stakes of the election when she got interrupted.
“We are fighting for America’s future, and we understand the opportunity we have before us to turn the page on the fear—” Harris said, as she got cut off.
“No more Gaza war!” a man in the crowd was heard yelling repeatedly.
Democrat headlines suggest panic
replies
As Kamala continues her fall free-fall, the Democrats fear the worst. They fear that Kamala, like her predecessor and boss, has been found out. And the American people don’t like what they found out.
The people have found out that Kamala has always advocated an open border, is apparently ambivalent (at best) about Israel defending itself, wants taxpayer-funded “gender correction” surgery for male convicts so that women in female prisons can “enjoy” their company, and wants to double the capital gains tax.
In a nutshell, the Democrats fear that Kamala has been found out to be a hard-left socialist. Indeed, she has a voting record to the left of Bernie Sanders.
A former Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegate released a video Friday declaring her rejection of the Democratic Party as she crossed the political aisle.

“In 2020, I was elected at 18 to become one of the youngest delegates to the Democratic National Convention on behalf of my district. And in 2024, I was elected again to return to the DNC as a delegate,” McNeal said. “But this year, I’m casting my ballot for Donald Trump.”

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.

At least 9,000 were let in as of 12:30 p.m., with close to 19,000 still waiting, according to very rough estimates from The Post and cops on the scene.
Some of the attendees had arrived as early as Friday and battled through urges to use the bathroom amid a lack of porta-potties during the lengthy wait.

Question for the American people: How well do you know Kamala Harris?
We know Donald Trump extremely well. Not to wax all Eastwoodian, but when it comes to Trump, we already know the good, the bad, and the ugly. We know all about McDonald’s, the divorces, the money, the accusations, the successes, and the hair.
He’s transparent.
In fact, given the global population boom and the rise in alternative media, you could make a compelling argument that more content has probably been produced about Donald Trump over the past 10 years than about anyone else on the planet. And that ain’t hyperbole, folks — that’s almost certainly a fact!
The obvious disclaimer about how close this election is and not to take anything for granted aside, does anyone think Kamala Harris is on the verge of winning this election? Like, legitimately? In the past few weeks, her lead in the RealClearPolitics averages has disappeared, and Trump now has the lead in the national average. (X) Sure, the polls could be wrong like they were in 2022, but just look at the Harris-Walz campaign lately.

Facing the left-wing voters of a Democratic primary, Vice President Kamala Harris staked out radical positions on a slew of issues far outside mainstream opinion during her failed 2019 presidential run. Now facing a much more centrist general election electorate, Harris is desperate to distance herself from her extremist past, and one of her favorite dodges is her claim that she will “follow the law” if elected president.
Problem is, presidents have far-reaching powers to make the law through both regulatory and prosecutorial decision-making, especially on the issues on which Harris is most desperate to dodge accountability.

Walz and Ocasio-Cortez were scheduled to face each other on Twitch platform at 3pm ET in the latest edition of the Madden game after a recent NBC News survey found the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris had a lead of two percentage points over Donald Trump with young male registered voters.
For quite some time, Democrats have been campaigning on the idea that contrary to what Republicans have said, violent crime is down. The Biden administration is handling things and there's no reason for anyone to be concerned about being gunned down in a parking lot over their cell phone or car keys.
However, that seemed to ring hollow to a whole lot of people. After all, the news reports sure don't look like violent crime is down.
Yet a whole lot of people had a lot vested in telling you that it was, particularly gun control groups like Giffords. After all, President Joe Biden signed a major gun control bill into law.

Former first lady Michelle Obama implied that people who don’t support Vice President Kamala Harris for president are sexist and racist, and she questioned if voters were “ready for this moment.”
During a Harris rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday, Obama spoke about how the race between Harris and former President Donald Trump was “too close.” The former first lady added that Harris was “an extraordinary human being” and candidate, and would be an “extraordinary president.”

If you’ve been alive on Earth for a few decades, you’ve probably watched more than a few election cycles – both general and midterms, federal, state, and municipal. With that thought in mind, I have to ask – have you ever seen a politician win on the promise to raise your taxes? The answer to that, of course, is ‘no.’ Sure, during election time, liberals and Democrats will talk about the importance of certain programs for various perceived “needs,” causes, and crises – but they never get around to explaining what pays for those programs. The answer to that, of course, is ‘your money!’

Thieves with a nose for fine cheese have pulled off a massive cheddar ripoff in London.
Neal’s Yard Dairy said a con artist posing as a wholesale distributor for a major French retailer had made off with 22 metric tons (48,488 pounds) of award-winning cheddar worth 300,000 British pounds ($390,000) before the company realized it had been scammed
Israel says that air strikes on military targets in Iran on Saturday morning have concluded its retaliation for Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on April 13 and Oct. 1.
Iran’s military said early Saturday that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage,” and that two soldiers were killed.
After announcing the strikes were underway, the Israel Defense Forces later released a statement saying they had concluded their mission and warned Iran not to escalate.
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.
I wonder if it ever dawns on all those well-paid, city-bred campaign consultants who come in to states like Montana, that nobody is listening anymore? Oh, sure. There are the political junkies, left and right, who thrive on the junk food of campaign advertising, doused with the vinegar of vitriol. But for most folks, the noise of the election season has reached a decibel level that so numbs the ears, that the messages are no longer getting through. We just want to be left alone to contemplate real ideas and real truths.
“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.
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;
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.

WATCH: Michelle Obama Remarks for Harris

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.
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.”
Friday and Saturday, the Israeli air force gelded Iran, diminishing the Mullahcracy’s sway and putting paid to the Russian-supplied defense systems. At the same time, the refusal of the owners of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post to do the expected and endorse Kamala Harris for President has roiled their partisan activist staffs. Harris angered her rally crowd by promising a Beyoncé concert and delivering just a Beyoncé abortion speech at the same time Trump had an engaging three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan.

Imagine you’re Kamala Harris and you’ve gone all Hitler, all the time, but no assassins have granted your wish and Donald Trump continues to build a significant lead. Now what?
That’s the crucial question facing the vice president and desperate Democrats as, with apologies to Willie Nelson, the days dwindle down to a precious few.
So far, the answer from Harris and her party is a steady drumbeat of more Hitler, more fascist and more dictator charges despite warnings they are dog whistles for violence.
Texas Tech kicker Reese Burkhardt had a career moment Saturday when he scored a touchdown on a fake field goal, then gave a shoutout to former President Trump. After taking a surprise pitch and racing around TCU defenders to get into the end zone in the second quarter, Burkhardt pulled his jersey up to reveal a shirt that said "Trump 24 MAGA." Texas Tech ended up losing a 35-34 heartbreaker to TCU, but Burkhardt has been the talk of the game. Trump supporters have praised the senior kicker, while liberals have criticized him and the program on social media.
RFK Jr.’s Vice Presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan (I) has released her latest ad, “The Big Cheat,” a hard-hitting exposé on election fraud and decade-long deception that rigged the very foundations of democracy.
The ad opens with a reminder of the Democrat Party’s high popularity during Obama’s presidency. With Hillary Clinton primed to continue the legacy, the Democrat elite appeared ready to cement their hold on power.
However, the ad accuses the DNC of orchestrating a coup to sideline Senator Bernie Sanders— whose momentum, Shanahan’s campaign claims, threatened Clinton’s ascent.
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

Former First Lady Michelle Obama hit the campaign trail for Vice President Harris in battleground Michigan on Saturday, blasting former President Trump and railing against what she cast as a double standard in the high-stakes presidential race. “I gotta ask myself: why on earth is this race even close? I lay awake at night wondering: what in the world is going on?” Obama told a raucous rally crowd in Kalamazoo, Mich.

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,
