‘Word salad city’: Dems see Kamala’s CNN town hall as a bust | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com Source Link Excerpt:
“When she doesn’t want to answer a question her habit is to kind of go to word salad city and she did that in a couple of questions.”
Vice President Kamala Harris‘ town hall on CNN on Wednesday was seen as a bust by both the Republicans as well as Democrats as she appeared to flounder for multiple different answers on different topics. The poor performance at the town hall for Harris comes as former President Donald Trump has been gaining in multiple swing state polls as the election is less than two weeks away.
Many Democratic pundits did not think highly of the Democratic nominee’s performance. Democratic strategist David Axelrod pointed out that she dodged a question on whether she would be in stronger support of Israel than Trump.
Trump Responds to Democratic Senators Using His Name in Campaign Ads– townhall.com Source Link Excerpt:
As we’ve been covering, vulnerable Democratic incumbents have run some rather desperate races as Election Day looms closer. Their tactics now involve using former and potentially future President Donald Trump in their ads, and in a positive light. The Republican nominee has something to say about that, in a post shared over Truth Social on Wednesday, issuing a warning to voters about how there’s a particular reason these Democrats are doing so.
Trump didn’t just call out the vulnerable Democratic incumbents, but also Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Kamala Harris’ sinking Campaign has become so TOXIC, that Democrat Senators in four different States are using me in their advertisements, and stating that they are with President Trump on Tariffs, and numerous other things,” Trump reminded.
“While it is a great compliment, it is not fair to those Republican Senate Candidates, Bernie Moreno, Dave McCormick, Eric Hovde, and Sam Brown, who are with me all the time. These Democrats have voted with Crooked Joe Biden almost 100% of the time,” he continued, referencing their Republican challengers. “They only pretend to be on my side when Elections roll around. OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEVADA: VOTE FOR BERNIE MORENO, DAVE MCCORMICK, ERIC HOVDE, AND SAM BROWN – THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE WITH US!”
CNN Contributor Points Out Glaring Flaw In Kamala’s Latest Effort To Link President Trump To Hitler– wltreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
Time is running out before Election Day, and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris appears to be increasingly desperate.
As President Donald Trump’s advantage grows in nationwide and battleground state polls, Harris has latched on to a widely debunked claim that Trump once voiced his admiration for Adolf Hitler.
Not only did the Trump campaign unequivocally deny any such allegation, but CNN pundit Scott Jennings offered a scathing assessment of Harris’ latest line of attack.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who was responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” the Democrat presidential nominee said in her remarks, which oddly enough were delivered from the vice presidential residence.
While both the former president and his presidential campaign have responded accordingly, GOP strategist/political analyst Scott Jennings, fresh off of triggering his colleagues on the Doug Emhoff abuse scandal, brought up another great point during a Wednesday CNN segment about why Harris’ argument about Trump bombs so badly:
It probably will shock Kamala Harris and the rest of her campaign staff to learn that there are incumbent Democrat US Senators in this country right now running television ads touting all their work with this “modern-day Hitler.”
No, Trump brought up Rommel. Maybe someone should remind Harris and everyone else that those in charge of the Allies even admired Rommel:
During the height of Rommel’s success in North Africa, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sang his praises before the House of Commons. “We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us,” Churchill declared, “and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.” George Patton, Bernard Montgomery and other top Allied generals likewise expressed their respect for him, and Rommel responded in kind, saying of Patton that “we saw the most astonishing achievement in mobile warfare,” and that “Montgomery never made a serious strategic mistake.”
Harris says ‘yes’ when asked if she thinks Trump is a fascist at CNN town hall Source Link Excerpt:
Former President Bill Clinton made the case that Harris is a stronger candidate to tackle inflation than Trump, taking on an issue that has bedeviled the Democratic ticket during a speech to Black Democrats in Phoenix.
Trump complains about rising prices but only Harris has come forward with realistic plans to rein in costs for food, housing and energy, he said. He touted her proposals to crack down on price gouging, increase housing supply and support domestic production of both renewable energy and fossil fuels.
“What did she say? ‘Let’s solve the problem.’ What did he say? ‘Let’s lay the blame,’” Clinton said. “I’m telling you, if you want a president to do a real job, you have to find somebody who will take responsibility and find a better way.”
Clinton called Trump “mister brand and blame,” portraying him as a person at home attacking his rivals but not solving problems.

Laken Riley, murdered in February an illegal alien from Venezuela.
Donald Trump has signaled his openness to supporting a reparations funds for victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens.
In an interview with Just The News, Trump was asked whether he would consider the creation of a fund to help compensate victims and their families of crimes committed by people with no right to be in America.
“I am,” he responded. “It was talked about, and then I guess people shut it down.”
“I’ve met so many of the families,” he continued. “They’ve been just decimated by these people that are allowed to come into our country.”
“The murderers and drug dealers and the worst people are allowed to come into our country. And they’re poisoning our country. … What Biden and Kamala have done to this country is unthinkable.”
Biden believes Trump is a ‘fascist:’ White House- Washington Examiner– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Joe Biden agrees with former White House chief of staff John Kelly that former President Donald Trump fits the definition of a “fascist.”
“You have heard from this president over and over again about the threats to democracy,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday. “You have heard from the former president himself, saying that he is going to be a dictator on day one. This is him, not us.”
Jean-Pierre referenced Vice President Kamala Harris‘s remarks earlier Wednesday and Trump’s behavior before and during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
“Do we agree about that determination? Yes, we do,” she said. “Yes, we have said, he said himself, the former president has said he is going to be the dictator on day one. We cannot ignore that. We cannot.”
The Atlantic’s newest hit piece on Trump is why we can’t trust media– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
It’s not that the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffery Goldberg, has the journalistic ethics of a drunk National Enquirer reporter. It’s that the entire media spreads his gossip without a hint of skepticism.
A new hit piece from the Atlantic, reminiscent of an old hit piece from the publication, reported that former President Donald Trump belittled a dead soldier and praised Hitler’s generals (and what self-respecting piece about Trump doesn’t mention der Fuhrer?)
The first thing to remember is that Goldberg could literally make up any quote from an alleged “anonymous” source, and he would face no repercussions. No major outlet will challenge the veracity of his shoddy work, which breaks numerous journalistic norms, because his accusations are aimed at the right target. The media, after all, is now the democracy-saving business.
Los Angeles Times editorials editor quits when owner won’t endorse Harris– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
Los Angeles Times Editorials Editor Mariel Garza quit on Wednesday, weeks after the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, announced it would not endorse any candidate this cycle.
With Election Day two weeks away, Garza took issue with her employer shifting away from the tradition of endorsing presidential candidates. The paper has backed the Democratic candidate since 2008. The Los Angeles Times is the biggest newspaper in Vice President Kamala Harris’s home state of California and endorsed Harris when she ran for the Senate in 2016 and for the office of attorney general before that.
“I told myself that presidential endorsements don’t really matter; that California was not ever going to vote for Trump; that no one would even notice; that we had written so many ‘Trump is unfit’ editorials that it was as if we had endorsed her,” Garza wrote in her resignation letter obtained by the Columbia Journalism Review. But then, Garza changed her mind weeks after her already-written editorial was rejected by Soon-Shiong.

“I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”
On Tuesday, The Atlantic published a piece claiming that during a December 2020 Oval Office meeting, Trump was outraged at the $60,000 cost of the funeral for murdered Army private Vanessa Guillen and issued comments attacking her. Guillen’s sister and top officials have refuted The Atlantic’s reporting.
20-year-old Guillen, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, was killed in April 2020, being bludgeoned to death at Fort Hood and her body being burned and buried in a river bank. Shortly after her death, Trump invited Guillen’s family to the White House. “I saw what happened to your daughter Vanessa, who was a spectacular person, and respected and loved by everybody, including in the military,” Trump told Guillen’s mother. He later said, “If I can help you out with the funeral, I’ll help—I’ll help you with that. I’ll help you out. Financially, I’ll help you.”

Democrat Donors Aware of Biden’s ‘Frighteningly Awful’ Cognitive Issues As Early as June 2023– legalinsurrection.com Source Link Excerpt:
Author and Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward’s word is often considered sacrosanct in leftist/media circles. But he’s thrown them for a bit of a loop in a new book called “War,” released October 15th, which gives fresh insight into what some Democrat movers and shakers knew about Biden’s cognitive issues and when they knew it.
In the book, Woodward quotes some donors on and off the record talking about how Biden looked and sounded “frighteningly awful” when they saw him, with others comparing him to “your 87-year-old senile grandfather” who complimented women’s eyes as he walked around the room:
The first fundraiser hosted by Kevin Scott, the chief technology officer of Microsoft, at his home in Los Gatos on June 19 [2023], was attended by 38 guests, including some of the most serious Democratic donors in [Silicon Valley]. The event raised $2.7 million for Biden’s re-election fund. Guests, however, said that Biden was “frighteningly awful.” It was “like your 87-year-old senile grandfather” wandering around the room, saying to women guests, “your eyes are so beautiful.”

The 45th president disputed Kelly’s allegations, which included the former general declaring that Trump met “the definition of a fascist.” Trump then thanked his supporters for coming to his defense.

There are the sorts of nasty political surprises that can actually hit a campaign right on the head. You can usually identify these by the response — or lack thereof — to the surprise.

Guess what sort of “surprise” the latest one targeting former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, is?
For those of you who are blissfully unaware of the mainstream media’s more diabolical tactics, Trump came under some fire this week when a report from The Atlantic attributed some offensive quotes to the former president.

Media Pushing Another Fake News Story about Trump Making Fun of Dead U.S. Soldier– lidblog.com Source Link Excerpt:
Fake news purveyor (that means liar) Jeffrey Goldberg is making a stab at an “October surprise” to help Democrats win the 2024 election with a false story about Trump supposedly disparaging a U,S, soldier who died in service.
Goldberg published his latest lie in The Atlantic with the claim that Trump made fun of a slain Mexican-American Army private when he was president the first time. The partisan liar claimed that the story came from Natalie Khawam, the attorney for the family of the slain soldier, 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén.
Guillén was murdered in 2020 by another soldier at Fort Hood. When her body was discovered and preparations were made to bury the soldier, Trump reportedly disparaged the dead soldier.
“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” Goldberg claims Trump said of the Mexican-American soldier.
Kamala Harris Is Trying to Get Trump Shot at Again – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
In a shocking display of political desperation, Kamala Harris made another blatant Hail Mary attempt to stop Donald Trump. Only this time, her rhetoric might get him killed.
On Wednesday, the New York Times published a hit piece against Donald Trump, quoting his former Chief of Staff, John Kelly. Kamala Harris, seeking to capitalize on this weak story, spoke from the Vice President’s residence to address it.
“So, yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had,” she began. With this incendiary remark, she not only rehashed her stale talking points but also risked reigniting the dangerous narrative that has previously inspired attempts on Trump’s life.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” Kamala continued. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.”

KJP Calls Trump A “Fascist” In Unhinged Rant During Press Briefing– www.louderwithcrowder.com Source Link Excerpt:
Many on the left are in crisis mode, as Kamala’s performance in this campaign was as retarded as she is. This typically would be nothing more than a personal problem but the Dems are trying to make it your problem, as the left pushes conspiracy theories with more evidence to disapprove it than back it up.
It’s unclear if the whole pretending Trump is “literally” Hitler was intended to win over swing voters in middle America but this tactic has not proven to bring the success the Dems hoped for. The left has thrown everything at Trump and slandered him into oblivion, and the fact that they think pretending Trump is “literally” Hitler will do anything to move the goalpost is not only pathetic but deeply unserious.
You cannot lie to voters for 8 years and expect them to believe this propaganda like its gospel. This didn’t work in 2016, it may or may not have worked in 2020, and it is definitely not working now. So while the left is also trying to bring Jan. 6 back as if anyone remotely cares, the Dems are resorting to an oldie but a good one, which is to call Trump a “fascist.”

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also referred to as Obamacare, birth control pills are already free for those with private health insurance and a prescription from their doctor. However, a new proposal by the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and the Treasury that was announced by the White House on Monday would remove the need for a prescription. ABC News reported that “the new rule would expand that coverage, allowing millions of people on private health insurance to pick up free condoms, birth control pills, or ‘morning after’ pills from local storefronts without a prescription.”

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia as election day draws closer, according to a Tuesday poll from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC).
Trump is leading at 47% while Harris is at 43%, which is outside of the poll’s margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, according to the AJC. Of likely voters that were polled, 8% said that they are still undecided.
Georgia is considered a key battleground state in the 2024 presidential election. The swing state began its first week of voting on Oct. 15 and set an early voting record as 196,000 residents cast their ballots, according to WALB.
There are more than seven million active voters in the state, according to WALB.

A Georgia judge decided on Oct. 15 to block a rule about the state hand-counting ballots on election day amid concerns that it could slow down announcing election results.
While Trump is leading across battleground states, the presidential race is still tight. The Republican candidate has a 1.2 point lead, pulling 48.4% support across seven top battleground states compared to Harris trailing behind at 47.2%, according to polling averages from RealClear Polling.
Harris is ahead of Trump nationwide, with a lead of 0.8 points at 49.3% compared to Trump’s 48.5%, according to national polling averages from RealClear Polling.
Trump has made significant strides among black voters. The Democrats have been attempting to shore up support for Harris from black voters amid concerns of weak enthusiasm from the key voting bloc.
“The most recent polling shows what Team Trump already knew, Georgians from Catoosa to Camden County are tired of the cost-of-living skyrocketing and drugs flowing across the open border into our communities,” Morgan Ackley, Georgia Communications Director for the Trump campaign said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “President Trump is winning or tied in every battleground, including Georgia, because his message is resonating with voters across the country. This November Georgia will say no to Kamala Harris and yes to Donald Trump and his America First policies.”

Poll Of Arab Americans Stuns Political Pundits, Reveals Game-Changing Development– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
With just two weeks left until Election Day, a new poll of Arab-American voters has shaken up the presidential race. The poll, conducted by YouGov and commissioned by Arab News Research & Studies Unit, reveals that former President Donald Trump holds a slight 2-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among Arab-American voters. The significant development comes as the Middle East conflict has taken center stage in the presidential campaigns since last year.
The poll indicates a strong expected turnout, with 87% of Arab-Americans planning to vote in the upcoming election. Palestine remains the top priority for many respondents, a factor that may be driving Trump’s slight lead. His administration’s past policy approaches to the Middle East, compared to Harris’s, appear to resonate with this voter bloc, especially as the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict dominates headlines.
The poll, conducted between September 26 and October 1, sampled 500 Arab-Americans nationwide. While the poll has a margin of error of +/- 5.93%, it sheds light on the candidates’ standings within this crucial demographic, which could sway results in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Arab-American populations are significant.
SENATE
Pennsylvania Senate Race Moves to ‘Toss Up’ as Dem Bob Casey Loses Ground: Cook Political Report– freebeacon.com Source Link Excerpt:
Pennsylvania’s Senate race has shifted from “lean Democrat” to a “toss up” as incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D.) loses ground to his Republican challenger Dave McCormick just two weeks before Election Day, according to the Cook Political Report.
Cook stated that the race is now competitive enough to be considered a “toss up,” adding that “both Republican and Democratic internal polls show this is now a margin-of-error race, with Casey holding a slim, statistically insignificant lead of between one and two points.”
As his reelection prospects slip, Casey is aiming to appeal to Donald Trump voters, highlighting in an ad released last week his “siding with” the former president on a trade and tariffs bill in 2017.
Polling released Monday by Atlas Intel shows McCormick with a slight lead over Casey for the first time in the Senate race. Around 48.3 percent of respondents said they would vote for McCormick, while 47.1 percent supported Casey. In September, Casey led McCormick 47 percent to 45 percent, according to Atlas Intel.
Senate battle goes from bad to worse for Democrats – The Hill Source Link Excerpt:
Senate Democrats are facing an increasingly tough road to keeping their majority in the upper chamber as races in crucial swing states tighten with just two weeks until Election Day.
The path to 51 seats was always going to be a long shot for Democrats, who are facing a difficult Senate map featuring multiple incumbents in solidly GOP territory.
But now Democrats are also dealing with Republican candidates in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin quickly closing the gap. The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report this month shifted both races from “lean Democrat” to “toss-up.” Along with Michigan, the “blue wall” states are now all in the “toss-up” category.
This is heaping pressure on the party to hold the fort in the final stretch.
“This is never going to be easy,” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told reporters Tuesday at the Capitol. “But I believe these races are essentially tied. … To me, it feels like it’s 50-50 all the time.”
EARLY VOTING
If Early Vote Trend Continues, Trump Wins– www.breitbart.com Source Link Excerpt:
Early vote trends in swing states favor of former President Donald Trump and suggest “the election will be over on election day before we know who votes,” political analyst Mark Halperin said Tuesday on The Morning Meeting.
The trends will likely cause the Harris campaign to hit the panic button in the coming days with increased heated rhetoric meant to drive turnout among its supporters.
Halperin, an analyst who attempts to report data without spin, said the early vote in Nevada and North Carolina looks strong for Trump, which is far “more important than the polls right now.” Surveys show Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump virtually tied in all seven battleground states.
In Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Republicans’ early vote trends look strong:
“We don’t know exactly who’s casting these ballots, how they’re voting, etc. But every analyst I’ve talked to in the last 24 hours, including people who speak publicly, say, ‘If this continues, Donald Trump can’t lose because the Democrats can’t possibly do well enough on election day,’” Halperin explained.
The 2020 election is a difficult benchmark to extrapolate to date, but the data appears to be in favor of Trump, Halperin added:
We don’t know what turnout is going to be like. This is a cycle coming out of the COVID cycle. Lots of things are shaken up, but I’ll say again, two things no one will tell you, no matter how partisan they are, no one will tell you that the early voting data is anything but scary for Democrats so far, and if on election day this trend continues, the election will be over on election day before we know who votes.
Early Voting Data From Historically-Blue Counties Shows Stunning Shift In Race– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
With the 2024 election just two weeks away, new early voting data from key Florida counties indicates a noticeable shift that could reshape the presidential race. Traditionally strongholds for Democrats, these counties are showing unexpected Republican leads in early voting figures—a potential boost for former President Donald Trump as he campaigns against Vice President Kamala Harris in a high-stakes sprint to Election Day.
Republicans have gained ground in several prominent Florida counties, the data show, with early voting results revealing surprising Republican leads in historically blue territories. Here’s the current breakdown as of day 2 of early voting:
Duval County: R+4.6
Miami-Dade County: R+12.8
Palm Beach County: R+17.2
Hillsborough County: R+15.4
Pinellas County: R+25.5
Republicans see hints of an early voting edge over Democrats– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Trump campaign is cautiously optimistic about early voting data from the seven battleground states two weeks before polls close on Nov. 5.
It’s a turnaround from 2020 when Republicans once ceded the early voting advantage to Democrats as members of the GOP traditionally voted on Election Day and former President Donald Trump criticized absentee ballot or mail-in voting as vehicles for fraud.
Although not all states collect partisan early voting information and an increasing number of voters identify as independent or unaffiliated, the data underscores potential problems for Vice President Kamala Harris, with little time to course correct.

Court decisions in Michigan and North Carolina deny GOP challenges to overseas voters – ABC News Source Link Excerpt:
Courts in Michigan and North Carolina on Monday rejected attempts by Republicans to disqualify the ballots of certain overseas voters.
Both cases targeted people who have never lived in the state but were born overseas to parents who were residents of the state. The Michigan case also targeted the spouses of military and overseas voters.
A state judge in Michigan dismissed the Republicans’ case because it was filed so late — less than a month before the Nov. 5 presidential election. But the judge also found that the election language allowing those voters to cast ballots complied with both state and federal law, as well as the Michigan Constitution.
The state GOPs and the Republican National Committee were among the plaintiffs bringing both cases, which were filed as part of a broader legal strategy against overseas ballots in presidential battleground states ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

President Joe Biden said Tuesday at New Hampshire’s Democratic National Committee (DNC) office that the party needs to “lock up” former President Donald Trump, quickly adding he meant to “politically” lock him up.
Since 2019, Democrats have been calling for Trump to be behind bars, flipping the script on their previous criticism of Republicans and the former president for calling for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to be locked up. While speaking to the DNC office in Concord, New Hampshire, Biden noted how close the race is becoming, claiming Trump believes he has immunity from “physically eliminating” threats.
“All of it’s on a knife’s edge. It’s on a knife’s edge right now. So this is really, really, really, really important right now. Folks, look, think about it. He is talking about doing away with the entire Department of Education — he means it, this is not a joke. This [is] a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant, every single one,” Biden said.
Judge warns Donald Trump could ‘share responsibility’ for Jan. 6 riot even if he didn’t order it – nypost.com Source Link Excerpt:
In a lengthy ruling Wednesday in which she rebuffed most of Trump attorney’s requests for discovery in his 2020 election subversion case, Chutkan, 62, swatted down concerns about potentially inconsistent statements from law enforcement as to whether the former president was responsible.
“It is entirely conceivable, for instance, that Defendant could share responsibility for the events of January 6 without such express authorization of rioters’ criminal actions,” she wrote in a 50-page ruling.

Rudy Giuliani Has Been Ordered to Hand Over Manhattan Apartment, Luxury Watches, Valuables- to Georgia Election Workers– wltreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to turn over a large amount of valuables, his Penthouse apartment in Manhattan, and a load of sentimental belongings — and potentially more properties that have yet to be determined — by a federal judge.
The property and valuables will be given to Georgia election workers who won a defamation suit against Giuliani for statements he made questioning the integrity of the vote count — specifically the allegation made by Giuliani that Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss allegedly committed election fraud when counting ballots in Fulton County, Georgia during the 2020 election.
The following is a CNN report with Michael Gottlieb, the attorney for the Georgia election workers, on the judgment and the assets included in the decision by the judge requiring Giuliani to hand over these specific items to be auctioned off and sold to satisfy the judgment awarded to them.

Liz Cheney Tells Anti-Abortion Conservatives to Support Kamala Harris – newsweek Source Link Excerpt:
Republican Liz Cheney has called on anti-abortion voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her liberal stance on abortion rights.
The former Wyoming representative, who has been campaigning alongside the Democratic presidential nominee this election, said the issue needed “compassion” and that former President Donald Trump would not be able to handle it.
Speaking in Wisconsin with Harris on Monday, Cheney said: “I’m pro-life, and I have been very troubled, deeply troubled by what I have watched happen in so many states since Dobbs.
“I have been troubled by the extent to which you have women who—as the vice president said—in some cases have died, who can’t get medical treatment that they need because providers are worried about criminal liability.”
Cheney continued: “Even if you are pro-life, as I am, I do not believe, for example, that the state of Texas ought to have the right, as they’re currently suing to do, to get access to women’s medical records.
Left-Wing Dark Money And Unions Team Up To Enshrine Abortion In Florida’s Constitution– dailycaller.com Source Link Excerpt:
As election day approaches and polls narrow, out-of-state groups are pouring tens of millions into Florida to enshrine abortion as a right in the state’s constitution.
Massive Democratic-aligned dark money networks, the Soros family, D.C.-based liberal advocacy groups and public-sector unions have rallied behind Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF), spending millions to support the group’s effort to repeal Florida’s prohibition on abortion after fetal heartbeats are typically detected, campaign finance records show. FPF is the primary group supporting an initiative on November’s ballot to amend the state’s constitution by creating a constitutional right to terminate one’s pregnancy.
To be added to the state’s constitution, the amendment would need to attract 60% support on election day. A poll in June found that 69% of voters supported that amendment, though an October poll recently found that just 60% of voters reported supporting the abortion initiative, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
“Now, just barely reaching the 60% it needs to pass, it looks like the fate of abortion in Florida will come down to turnout on Election Day,” University of North Florida political science professor Michael Binder told the Tallahassee Democrat.

DID KAMALA HARRIS JUST HAVE A SENNACHERIB MOMENT? – Kamala Harris was interrupted at her Wisconsin rally recently by someone who shouted in response to her comments on abortion “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King.” Kamala appeared to take offense at the mentioning of the name of Christ, firing back “Oh, I think you’re at the wrong rally.”
She added to her blasphemy by lying when she claimed, “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” Some Christians cite 2 Kings Chapter 19, where the Assyrian King Sennacherib had laid siege to Jerusalem, taunting God as he went, for which he would see his army smitten by the angel of the Lord (Christ to some). The two students, Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Juniors, said of their overall experience in the House of Harris:
Beth – “I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally. In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s OK.”
Polaske – “In reality, we did God’s work, and we were there for the right reasons, and God is watching us in this moment. I’m all about being a cordial person no matter your beliefs, but I do believe that we were sent there by God.”
TikTok, Facebook Approve Ads With US Election Disinformation, Study Says – Barron’s Source Link Excerpt:
TikTok and Facebook approved advertisements containing blatant US election falsehoods just weeks ahead of the vote, a watchdog investigation revealed Thursday, calling into question the tech platforms’ policies to detect harmful disinformation.
The advocacy group Global Witness submitted eight ads containing false election claims to the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok, the Meta-owned Facebook, and Google-owned YouTube to test their ad systems in the final stretch of the November 5 election.
The ads carried outright election falsehoods — such as people can vote online — as well as content promoting voter suppression, inciting violence against a candidate, and threatening electoral workers and processes.
TikTok “performed the worst,” Global Witness said, approving four of them despite its policy that prohibits all political ads.
Facebook approved one of the ads submitted.
“Days away from a tightly fought US presidential race, it is shocking that social media companies are still approving thoroughly debunked and blatant disinformation on their platforms,” said Ava Lee, the digital threats campaign leader at Global Witness.
Elon Musk quietly donates ‘very substantial’ amount to PAC to canvass Hispanic voters – Fox News Source Link Excerpt:
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has quietly donated a “very substantial” amount of his own money directly to a PAC that is canvassing Hispanic voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Fox News has learned.
Musk donated to a PAC called The Hispanic Leadership Alliance, which is canvassing voters in Arizona, California and Oregon to help Republicans up and down ballot.
Fox News has also learned that the latest FEC filings for The Hispanic Leadership Alliance will be released to the public on Thursday and will reveal the extent of Musk’s financial support. Musk’s donation to the PAC came from Musk directly and not through one of his PACs or organizations. The PAC has used the money in recent weeks to get out the Hispanic vote for Republicans.
Far-Left Los Angeles Times Abandons Kamala Harris: California’s Biggest Newspaper Refuses to Endorse Their Home State Candidate, Despite Backing Obama, Clinton, and Biden | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com Source Link Excerpt:
Far-left Los Angeles Times, California’s largest newspaper, has turned its back on Kamala Harris, refusing to endorse her in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
This stunning break from tradition marks a sharp shift for the paper, which has consistently endorsed Democrat candidates, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden.
This refusal to back their home-state candidate speaks volumes about Harris’s diminishing support, even within liberal strongholds.
The LA Times published its endorsements for congressional and local elections but conspicuously omitted any recommendation for the presidency.
While the editorial board declared this election as “the most consequential in a generation,” their silence on Harris and the presidency was deafening.
Behind this decision, sources suggest, according to Semafor, is the influence of the paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.
Testimony from a former special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, suggests the Biden-Harris White House has been not only colluding with local and state Soros-funded DAs to lawfare assault former President Donald Trump, they even groomed their future lawfare assassins and walked them through the whole process.
Wade pleaded a bad memory when confronted by the House Judiciary Committee but acknowledged the multiple times he wrote invoices for Fulton County to pay for meetings with the White House Counsel. When confronted with another example, he would say, “I don’t remember it happening. I know that it did because the entry says that it did.”
Trump Prosecutor Met with Biden-Harris White House Multiple Times, According to Newly Released Testimony– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
A now-ousted special prosecutor against former President Donald Trump in Fulton County, Georgia, might have been his own worst witness when it comes to President Joe Biden’s White House.
Nathan Wade, who was booted from his role overseeing the Trump prosecution because of a romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, confirmed in a newly released deposition that he’d had lengthy meetings with the Biden White House while still on the Trump case.
But he claimed he can’t remember a thing about them — while he was paid $250 an hour for his time.
In the Oct. 15 grilling by the House Judiciary Committee, a transcript shows, Wade was confronted with invoices showing he had billed Fulton County taxpayers repeatedly for conferences with Biden White House counsel.
One, dated May 23, 2022, indicated a trip to Athens, Georgia — a distance of about 70 miles from Atlanta — as well as a “conf with White House counsel.”
Yet Wade claimed he could not remember who from the White House was present or even whether the “conf” took place by phone or in person.
At another point, the transcript cites an invoice for “Interview with D.C./White House, November 18th, 2022. Eight hours at $250. Cost $2,000.”
Wade again had little to add: “I don’t remember it happening. I know that it did because the entry says that it did,” he said in the deposition.
That was followed by a series of questions about who was present, what was discussed, and even whether Wade had traveled to Washington for the interview or if someone from the White House had come to him in Georgia.
Are the indictments against Trump politically motivated?
Yes: 99% (158 Votes)
No: 1% (2 Votes)
To all, Wade answered with some version of “I don’t recall.”
At still another point, Wade was asked about an invoice in which he billed Fulton taxpayers $6,000 for three days’ work from Sept. 7-9, 2022 for “Witness interview; conf call D.C.; team meeting.”
Again, Wade could not recall anything about the “conf call.”
In total, as Townhall noted, Wade used the phrases “I don’t recall,” “I can’t recall,” or “I don’t know” almost 60 times.
What is clear, however, is that Wade met with the Biden White House repeatedly while conducting a prosecution of the man the Biden White House feared as Biden’s most potent political opposition.
The fact that Wade claims not to recall anything about those meetings has its own problems.
Wade was being paid handsomely by Fulton County taxpayers for his mental acumen. Lawyers who make $250 an hour are generally expected to have a fairly high-grade intelligence, which generally translates to a reasonably good memory.
To a reasonable American, a man in Wade’s position who claims he can’t remember such important matters as when meetings take place and who attended — when those meetings involve the White House and a crucial front in the Democratic legal war on Trump — is not being very convincing.
In fact, it gives the impression that he’s got something to hide. And that makes him about the worst witness possible.

Federal Appeals Court Upholds Trespassing Charge Used Against Hundreds of January 6 Rioters Source Link Excerpt:
A split federal appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld a trespassing charge against a January 6 rioter, Couy Griffin — a charge that has also been applied to hundreds of others — affirming that rioters “knowingly” breached restricted areas that day even if they didn’t know the basis of that restriction — that the Secret Service was protecting then-Vice President Pence, who was inside.
At issue in the case before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals was a federal law that prohibits “knowingly” entering “restricted building or grounds,” defined as any “posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area,” including restricted areas where the “president or other person protected by the Secret Service” is visiting.
Mr. Griffin, a founder of Cowboys for Trump and a former New Mexico county commissioner who was ousted from his position under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause, had argued that the government must prove that he knew the reason why the area was restricted for him to have “knowingly entered.” He also argued that because so many rioters before him had trampled the signage along the area, the restricted grounds were no longer clearly “posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted.”
More than 1,400 January 6 defendants have been charged with “entering or remaining” on restricted federal grounds, the Justice Department has said, meaning that hundreds of charges could have been undermined if the court had ruled in Mr. Griffin’s favor.
