PALM BEACH, FL — With the highly anticipated face-to-face televised meeting between the presidential candidates quickly approaching, Donald Trump expressed concern that if he beats Kamala Harris in the debate, the Democrats might replace her with someone good this time. President Joe Biden succumbed to mounting pressure to drop out of the race shortly after Trump soundly defeated him in the initial debate and was subsequently replaced at the top of the ticket by Harris, leaving Trump worried that if he destroys her too badly, he could end up finally facing someone who isn't senile or mentally deficient. "I'm in...

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a warning to the people of Lebanon as both Israel and Hezbollah consider first-strike options amid simmering tensions in the Middle East. ... "We will not allow the Hezbollah militia to destabilize the border and the region," Gallant said.

Gallant then recited the Arabic proverb "He who...

A top aide to Vice President Harris said Thursday that the Democratic presidential nominee does not support an arms embargo on Israel, after the Uncommitted National Movement suggested she was open to discussing a total ban on weapons deliveries from the U.S. Leaders of the Uncommitted National Movement, born out of opposition toward President Biden’s policy toward Israel, said Harris showed an openness to a meeting to discuss an arms embargo on Israel following a brief exchange with the group’s founders during her Wednesday campaign rally in Detroit. However, Phil Gordon, Harris’s national security adviser, reiterated her opposition to an...

Former President Donald Trump appears to have an edge over Vice President Kamala Harris in the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, according to a Democracy Institute/Daily Express US survey. While Harris appears to be in the honeymoon phase of her campaign, which kicked off mere weeks ago after President Joe Biden finally caved to pressure and dropped out of the presidential race, some polls still show Trump with an advantage — particularly in key swing states. This survey shows Trump leading Harris in Michigan by three points — 45 percent to Harris’s 42 percent. Another five percent support...

Embattled Democrat vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (MN) voted “Yea” on the federal Stolen Valor Act of 2013 during his time as a U.S. congressman. The vote seems ironic because Walz has been facing accusations of stolen valor, especially after a video surfaced Wednesday of him misrepresenting his military career by falsely claiming he served in war.

Vice President Kamala Harris has a commanding lead nationally over former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll — as Republicans accuse Harris of avoiding media interviews for more than two weeks to avoid stumbling and potentially ending her “honeymoon” period as the Democratic candidate. Harris would take 50% of the vote to Trump’s 42% among likely voters if third-party candidates are options, Marquette Law School found in a poll conducted July 24-Aug. 1, shortly after President Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed Harris as his successor. Although the poll’s margin is an outlier...

When soldier Kyle Miller was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on June 29, 2006, the man expected to lead them into combat was not there. Tim Walz, who would go on to be Kamala Harris' running mate, left his Minnesota National Guard unit two months before it deployed - and some will never trust him again. That includes Miller's mother who delivered a damning verdict on Walz's character, accusing him of taking the 'coward's way out' and 'running away' by opting to campaign for Congress instead of going to Iraq to face danger with her son.

Four consecutive bipartisan defense strategy commissions have looked “under the hood” of America’s armed forces and all issued dire warnings. The Department of Defense is out-matched for the united threats it faces. This is reinforced by the report from the National Defense Strategy Commission, which opens with a sobering declaration: “The Commission finds that the U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.” The report paints a stark picture of the global security environment, noting the threats the United States faces are “…the most serious and challenging the...

If this is the best that Dem MSM hacks can come up with to defend Tim Walz's claim that he carried weapons "in war," Kamala Harris's VP pick could be in some real trouble. On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt put it to former Hillary spokesperson Karen Finney, now a CNN commentator: "So, Karen, Walz did say that I carried in war. And we do know that doesn't seem to be the case. But he did, would have trained extensively in preparation for it, with these types of weapons." Finney latched like a drowning woman onto Hunt's mention of...

A respected think tank study has underscored America's massive demographic shift since the start of the pandemic, with millions more Spanish-speaking residents as the white population tumbled. The Hispanic population grew by 3.2 million from April 2020 to July 2023, as the number of white people fell by 2.1 million — the result of immigration and birth and death rates, says a Brookings Institution study. That means Hispanics accounted for 91 percent of US population growth in those three years. At the same time, the black, Asian, and mixed-race populations grew by hundreds of thousands of people each, while the...
