CLINTON LATEST DNC-CCP LEADER INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST TRUMP, REPUBLICANS – Hillary Clinton seems to be working hard to activate more would-be Trump assassins with her latest violence-inciting rhetoric in which she alleges Trump is holding a rally at Madison Square Garden because a KKK rally was once held there. She follows libelous stories from the DNC-CCP info terror machine, the MSM accusing Trump of practically being Hitler.
Clinton’s rhetoric echoes Kamala Harris, the unelected DNC-CCP nominee who used her official place of residence to market a slanderous lie accusing Trump of admiring Hitler and planning on using the military to target his political enemies. The craziest claim might be from Tim Walz, who told Duke University students that they’re “on a list” and Trump will use the military to hunt them down and detain them.

Another dangerous lie.
Tim Walz traveled to Duke University in Durham, North Carolina on Thursday with just 12 days to go until the election.
“Right now, you’re not talking about the next four years,” Walz told the students. “You’re talking about the next 40 years.”
Walz fearmongered about non-existent manmade ‘climate change.’
“The reason you’re here is, you’re not going to let some old people who are going to be dead long before climate change does the destruction that it’s going to be — you need to take charge of it,” Walz said.
Trump’s four-star bully chief of staff John Kelly was a traitor within– www.theblaze.com Source Link Excerpt:
No one knows former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly better than I do. This bitter, bullying coward should be cast into the dustbin of history for once again smearing Donald Trump, just days before the most important election in modern American history.
It may seem reasonable to assume a four-star general would make a good chief of staff, but that assumption is deeply flawed.
Kelly invariably hated those closest to Trump. As chief of staff, he single-handedly turned Trump allies into bitter and viperous enemies.
Four-star generals like Kelly typically reach the top of their profession because they are seen as the sharpest tools in the military shed. Yet in the West Wing, among uber-elite civilians from academia, the corporate world, and Wall Street, Kelly was consistently the dumbest guy in the room.
Regarding Kelly’s leadership, I had to brace myself physically every time his office called, as it inevitably involved some form of threat or abuse. Some leaders inspire, while others attempt to “lead” through intimidation. Kelly was clearly the latter, and I can’t imagine serving under his command in combat.
Trump Campaign: Democrat Rhetoric ‘Directly to Blame’ for Assassination Attempts– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump’s campaign has asserted that aggressive rhetoric from the Democrats is “directly to blame” for the recent assassination attempts against the Republican presidential candidate.
It comes in response to Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s inflammatory Wednesday statement to the press from her home at the U.S. Naval Observatory.
In a shocking and desperate display, while standing behind the vice presidential lectern, Harris told the American people several false claims about Trump while recklessly comparing the 45th president to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Trump’s campaign blasted Harris’s remarks as “dangerous” and said that such rhetoric is “directly to blame” for the kind of climate that led to two assassination attempts on his life.
In a statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said:
“She continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics.”
‘Morning Joe’ Host Accuses Trump Of Killing People– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” delivered a dramatic monologue on Thursday, accusing Donald Trump of “killing women” and endangering their safety. The fiery rant, which appeared more like an emotional outburst than reasoned analysis, was triggered by a controversial Atlantic article, published ahead of the 2024 presidential election, which alleges that Trump admires Hitler’s generals and disregards military service.
“His cozying up to dictators, his obsession with Hitler that has now come out, what he has said about our veterans, and what he wants to do with the military against his political adversaries, it’s all huge news,” she said. “This is the future that we’re looking at in the next Trump term, if there is one,” she claimed, appearing visibly frustrated.
“But this is what voters know right now, that he is killing us. I’m talking about us women. He’s killing us.” Brzezinski said while laced with hyperbole. “He is putting us at risk. He is making us afraid to have babies. He is putting our reproductive health at risk, and some women have died already because of this.”
Kamala Harris Uses White House to Incite Violence Against Trump by Calling Him a Hitler Lover – Kamala Harris, speaking from the White House’s Vice President’s Residence, told the American people an overt lie aimed at sowing hatred, anger, and fear in her troops that might inspire them to act violently and fraudulently to assure the evil man never gets in office again.
She perpetuated the false story spread by the DNC-CCP media that President Trump admired Hitler’s loyal Generals, saying, “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.”
“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. 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.”
Her rhetoric from the White House has led to one man, Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) to formally request the DOK investigate Kamala Harris for committing “potential criminal misconduct.”
He said in a letter, “While the Hatch Act, which prohibits using official resources to support partisan political campaigns, does not apply to the President and Vice President in civil provisions, it does not exempt them from criminal provisions.”
“In Federal law, it is a crime for any federal officer or employee to “use his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives.”

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has formally requested the Biden-Harris Gestapo Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Kamala Harris for potential criminal misconduct following a highly politicized press conference.
Mills is pointing to federal laws that prohibit any federal officer or employee from using their official authority to interfere with or influence an election—a line Harris crossed when she used the office of the Vice President to launch vicious attacks against Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, just 13 days before Election Day, Harris delivered a desperate three-minute unhinged tirade against Trump, invoking debunked smears and inflammatory rhetoric at the official residence of the Vice President, located at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., flanked by the official seal of the Vice President.
Kamala Harris took to the podium on Wednesday to launch a vicious attack on former President Donald Trump
Harris wasted no time in seizing on the outrageous claim, stating that Trump wanted a military that was “loyal to him personally” and suggesting that he would use the military to target American citizens who opposed him.
Harris went as far as to accuse Trump of comparing himself to Hitler.
“We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question, in thirteen days, will be what do the American people want?” Kamala said…
Mills’s letter, addressed to Garland, reads:
As you are likely aware, earlier today Vice President Kamala Harris gave what was billed as a “press conference” at the official VP residence. In the under three-minute speech VP Harris only made vicious political attacks on Republican Presidential Candidate and Former President, Donald J. Trump.
After making multiple defamatory references to Hitler and claiming he would use the American military to go after American citizens, she concluded saying, “We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question, in thirteen days, will be what do the American people want?”
While the Hatch Act, which prohibits using official resources to support partisan political campaigns, does not apply to the President and Vice President in civil provisions, it does not exempt them from criminal provisions.
In Federal law, it is a crime for any federal officer or employee to “use his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives.”
Recognizing this concern and as Attorney General, you issued a strict prohibition to your political appointees from participating in campaign-related activities in any capacity.
As Attorney General, you answer to the President, but your oath is to the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
I ask that you investigate today’s questionless “press conference” as it appears to be a direct use of official authority to affect the upcoming election. Given the proximity to the election, the American people deserve timely answers.”

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.”
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.”
Harris Gives 3 Minute Speech to Repeat Disputed Story in The Atlantic– legalinsurrection.com Source Link Excerpt:
VP Kamala Harris decided to give a three minute speech repeating lies placed in The Atlantic on Tuesday.
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.”

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.

On Truth Social, the GOP nominee slammed John Kelly as a “lowlife,” alleging on Wednesday that he had fabricated the story. 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.

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.
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.”

Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville has appeared on national television and warned the American people President Donald Trump is planning to arrest all “males of color” if he wins the election.
In addition, Carville, who served as the lead strategist on Bill Clinton’s winning 1992 presidential campaign, called for leftists to launch an armed uprising if Trump beats Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
The former Clinton strategist also pushed the false claim that Trump has publicly stated he will “use the military to arrest political enemies” and wants “to get rid of the Constitution.”
Carville made the remarks during an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber on Monday.
“If he wins, he’s gonna say, ‘I told people I was going to do this. I have the legitimacy of an election behind me,’ and you know what?” Carville lamented.
“He will have a point, because I do five interviews in a day and answer 20 questions, 18 of them are going to be about polling.
“We’ve become a nation of polling analysts.”
“People say, ‘What’s at stake in this election?’
“I say the Constitution is at stake,” Carville went on.
Kamala Harris Asks Americans: Are You Really Going to Elect a Guy Who Has Good Things to Say About Hitler?– www.vanityfair.com Source Link Excerpt:
With 13 days to go until the election, Kamala Harris laid out in the starkest terms possible the choice Americans face when they head to the ballot box in less than two weeks: They can vote to elect a man who thinks Adolph Hilter is someone to emulate, or they can vote for a woman who has never said a good thing about a genocidal maniac.
Speaking outside the Naval Observatory on Wednesday, Harris responded to a new story from The AtlanticdetailingDonald Trump’s infatuation with dictators, the negative things he has allegedly had to say about members of the armed forces, and the positive remarks he has allegedly made about people like Hitler, all of which he of course denies.
“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,” Harris told reporters. “Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States. In just the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the ‘enemy from within’ and even said that he would use the United States military to go after American citizens.”
A new gallop poll reveals 86 percent of Americans support laws that require ID to vote, along with a proof of citizenship to acquire the ID that can be used. 96 percent of Republicans support such laws, while even a majority of Democrats, 66 percent, also support such laws.
Poll: Most Americans support requiring photo I.D., proof of citizenship to vote – The Center Square Source Link Excerpt:
(The Center Square) – Americans – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – support both early voting policies as well as photo I.D. and proof of citizenship requirements for elections, according to a new poll.
Despite the ongoing divide between elected Republicans and Democrats over requiring photo I.D. to vote, a whopping 86% of Americans support it.
The poll comes just days from the presidential election with voting underway across the country.
Support varied by political party, with 98% of Republicans, 67% of Democrats, and 84% of Independents supporting requiring photo I.D. to vote.
Another 83% of Americans support “requiring people who are registering to vote for the first time to provide proof of citizenship.” By party, 96% of Republicans, 66% of Democrats and 84% of Independents agree.
Voter I.D. hits at the intersection of Republicans concerns about election integrity and illegal immigration, which has soared in recent years.
Many Republicans argue that illegal immigrant voting is a major issue and that those voters trend toward Democratic candidates.
Some Democrats have pushed back on voter I.D. efforts, saying they are an attempt to suppress or discourage certain groups from voting and that illegal immigrants are not allowed to vote. Republicans have pushed back saying Democrat officials have found workarounds to not enforce restrictions on illegal immigrants voting.
Texas AG Paxton files criminal referral against DOJ from ‘suspicious donations’ through Democratic group – Fox News Source Link Excerpt:
With Election Day just around the corner, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fired off a criminal referral against the Biden administration’s Department of Justice alleging that a popular progressive fundraising platform was interfering in the presidential election.
“My investigation uncovered evidence showing that bad actors are likely using ActBlue’s platform to make illegal campaign contributions. It is illegal to engage in election fraud, and it is illegal to obscure one’s identity to flout election rules.” Paxton wrote in a X post Thursday.
“The Department of Justice must take immediate action to prevent illegal conduct in our elections,” he said.
Goldberg was serving up allegations about the former president on how he admired the way Adolf Hitler could rely on his generals, plus an even less-plausible story about the former president refusing to pay for the funeral of “an effing Mexican” soldier.
News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett segued from the evening’s lead campaign story, much of which was devoted to a New York Times audio interview of Gen. John Kelly, former Trump White House chief of staff and current liberal media military hero of the day. Kelly compared Trump to a fascist based on comments the former president made about Hitler that no one else apparently heard — alleged statements made during a presidency now four years past.
And this is nothing new from Kelly either: Curtis Houck revealed that Kelly first leveled his “Hitler” claims in August 2022 in a book for husband-and-wife reporting team Peter Baker (New York Times) and Susan Glasser (The New Yorker).
PA Tech Glitch Warns Flawed Voter System Due For Replacement– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
No one should be shocked that Pennsylvania’s Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system went down for about 90 minutes Thursday morning. The computer system on which most voting activities in the state hinge is a mess, and the state has known this for years.
Speaking on “The Dom Giordano Show” on Philadelphia’s WPHT talk radio, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt described the SURE system as a voter registration database that county boards of elections interface with “all day long.”
When voters register, request a ballot, are sent a ballot, or vote, every move is marked in the Sure System. More than 9 million Pennsylvania residents, every person registered to vote, have data in the SURE System.
“We had an outage for about 90 minutes that prevented many counties from connecting to it earlier this morning, but has been back up for a while now,” Schmidt said. “It was like 9:45 to 11:15 this morning. Voters who applied to vote by mail, whether it’s in person or whatever else, could still do so. It didn’t prevent any of that.”

No, DOJ, States May Boot Illegal Aliens From Voter Rolls– www.dailysignal.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Biden-Harris Justice Department is wrong in claiming that federal law bars Virginia and other states from removing aliens from their voter rolls. And if the law DOJ cites is misinterpreted by a court to agree with the agency’s erroneous claim, then the law likely would be unconstitutional.
The Justice Department sued Virginia after it removed the names of 6,303 aliens and Alabama after it moved 3,251 aliens to an “inactive” list.
Keep in mind that it’s a felony under several federal statutes for an alien to claim fraudulently to be a citizen so he or she may register to vote or vote in U.S. elections, including 18 U.S.C. §§ 611, 911, and 1015(f). The Justice Department has a duty to enforce these statutes, something the agency apparently has no interest in doing under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Most Republican states have made voting harder since 2020. Our research shows how successful they’ve been – The Conversation Source Link Excerpt:
In late September, the governor of the state of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, boasted that election officials had removed 453,000 people from the state’s voter rolls since 2021. In a state with only 2.3 million registered voters, it appears that roughly one in six registered voters had been purged.
While some of these people were dead or disfranchised owing to felony convictions, nearly 200,000 of them were removed for being “inactive voters”. This means they likely failed to respond to a postcard sent to their mailing address.
Voters can re-register if they were incorrectly removed, but this “voter list maintenance” process still creates a barrier to democratic participation.
This bucks the national trend. Overall, across the United States, electoral turnout has increased in presidential and midterm elections since 2018. Americans feel, now more than ever, that elections have high stakes.
And some states have made it easier to vote. Minnesota, for example, allows voters to register online or at the polls on Election Day.
