The battleground state’s 2023 policy resurfaced right before the end of the election year because people were concerned that it could be used to interfere in the upcoming election.

one wonders how President Trump and those who love him have managed to cope.... there is no telling what might happen to the United States of America if deranged and homicidal anti-Trump lunatics ever get their way... former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told host Maria Bartiromo that 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who tried to assassinate president at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, might have used “inside information” from a “3rd party” to determine Trump’s whereabouts. I want to know how that person knew to be there, at that golf hole, at that time, that...

The other PA race… McCormick vs Casey While PA, and its other rust belt brethren have been the focus of countless discussions this election cycle, those discussions have centered almost exclusively around the Presidential election. PA is a crucial state, its 19 electoral votes are the biggest prize in that part of the country, and if PA goes for Trump, there is no path at all for Harris to reach 270, though honestly there isn’t much of a realistic path to 270 for any democrat this cycle, and never was, only the slimmest possible path requires a clean sweep of...

Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a small town of roughly 4,200 residents, has found itself at the heart of an immigration crisis. Over the past two years, the migrant population has surged by a staggering 2,000%, primarily due to an influx of Haitian immigrants. This massive growth is linked to the Biden administration's expanded Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which allowed migrants from countries like Haiti to seek refuge in the United States. While intended to provide safety for those fleeing dire circumstances, this policy has placed an immense strain on local resources. The once quiet, blue-collar town is now grappling with a...

JD Vance (R-OH) were putting “their fellow Americans at risk” with their comments on immigration.

Listen the Governor of Ohio, the Mayor of that town in Ohio, has said this is all made up. These are all lies. There’s no truth...

At a Philadelphia protest against the presidential debate between Kamal Harris and Donald Trump on September 10, 2024, protesters waved Hamas and PFLP flags, held a banner stating: “Amerika is the head of the snake,” and chanted, “Yahya Sinwar, you make us proud!” Protesters continued to laud Hamas’s Izz Al-din Al-Qassam Brigades and the Lion’s Den. They added: “Resistance is justified, when people are occupied.” The protest’s MC led the crowd in a chant: “U.S. imperialist – number one terrorist!” Participants chanted that Vice President Kamala Harris is a “war criminal,” and called for “Intifada, revolution,” while making a triangle...

Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to the Trumpy part of Pennsylvania Friday but it was folks on her side of the aisle that caused a stir. The Democratic nominee held a Friday evening rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, filling the McHale Athletic Center on Wilkes University's downtown campus with more than 5,000 supporters in a county Trump won by nearly 15 points.

MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart said Friday on “Chris Jansing Reports” it was “frightening” that roughly half the country supports former President Donald Trump. Capehart said, “I’ve been watching Donald Trump’s press conference since before we were doing the segment before you jumped to it as the Q&A portion. I have to tell you, listening to him and particularly that answer, one word that comes to mind is reprehensible. A former president of the United States isthat basically poo-pooing the concerns of the elected officials in the affected city, in Springfield, Ohio. The Republican governor of the state debunked this and...

In a huge blow to cheating Democrats, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday ruled that undated ballots or improperly dated ballots won’t be counted. Democrats heavily relied on mail-in ballots in 2020 to get Joe Biden across the finish line. Recall that President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden by more than 750,000 votes in Pennsylvania at midnight on Election Day in 2020, but Democrats in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia kept counting ‘mail-in ballots’ for two weeks without GOP monitors present. Joe Biden ‘won’ Pennsylvania by approximately 80,000 votes after Democrats used mail-in ballots to cheat. Last month a lower court...

Vice President Kamala Harris, during her second interview on Friday since joining the race, undermined her record in the Biden-Harris administration by stating the administration’s policies are not fit for the “twenty-first century.” Harris faces a conundrum: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy. Speaking with Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News 6 ABC, as the Harris campaign promised she would Thursday after she was slammed for failing to answer questions during Tuesday’s debate, Harris suggested...

ArticleDig DeeperThe Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision on Friday, ruling that mail ballots must have the correct date on them to be counted.Last month, a lower court ruled that the commonwealth cannot throw out mail-in ballots just because they have incorrect handwritten dates on the envelopes.The decision was tossed out by Pennsylvania's highest court on Friday, after the Republican National Committee and Pennsylvania GOP appealed, arguing that not all of the counties were included as plaintiffs in the original lawsuit. The ruling was made on jurisdictional grounds, not the merits of the case.“The Commonwealth Court lacked subject...

Social Security is among the rare topics that can make Republicans and Democrats see eye to eye, according to a new survey. In Pennsylvania, people on both sides of the aisle agree that it’s time to raise payroll taxes on high-income earners, cut benefits for the wealthiest retirees, and even push the full retirement age from 67 to 68 if that’s what it takes to keep Social Security from running out of cash. A new poll conducted by the University of Maryland’s Program For Public Consultation found majorities from both political parties want to see lawmakers tackle Social Security’s looming...
