Former President Donald Trump has claimed his opponent Kamala Harris is faking the size of her rally, as he posted what he called an 'AI doctored photo' - even though there is no evidence that the photo was manipulated. At issue is an image that emerged from a Harris-Walz rally at the Detroit Metro Airport on Wednesday that shows a large crowd standing in front of Air Force Two - the official airplane of the vicepresident. Right-wingers have wrongfully alleged that inconsistencies in the news photo reveal that it was digitally manipulated - pointing to a lack of a reflection...

A new survey of likely voters from Trafalgar Group has former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris in four key swing states. The poll released Friday shows Trump leading Harris by 2 percentage points in Pennsylvania 46% to 44%, 1 point in Arizona 48% to 47%, 3 points in Nevada at 48% to 45%, and 4 points in North Carolina 49% to 45%. The polls come as voters have adjusted to the reality of Harris taking over the top of the Democratic ticket from President Joe Biden, who announced in July that he was no longer seeking reelection....

As Republicans began scrutinizing the military record of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Harris campaign released a statement supporting the vice-presidential nominee, in part, by pointing to his time in Congress and claiming that “he chaired Veterans Affairs.” While the former congressman spent over a decade in the House, serving on Veterans Affairs and eventually rising to become the ranking member of that committee, at no time was he ever the chairman. Vice President Kamala Harris correctly characterized Walz’s time in Congress when introducing her running mate in Philadelphia, calling him “the top Democrat on the Veterans Committee.” It was...

I wonder if Trump is really ready for the firestorm that is about to come down? After watching Plugs Biden latest interview, which is creepy and ominous, are the Democrats so bold to try again to attempt to assassinate Trump. Watch the video and its pretty dammed scary if half of this is true! https://youtu.be/CK0V_i3hhGQ

Authorities abruptly shut down the Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan on Sunday when a massive, unruly crowd swarmed the Midtown route and a teen slashed a 65-year-old man across the face, law-enforcement sources said. The 42-year-old parade — which draws a half-million spectators and features 113 organizations, including community groups, carnival bands and government officials — was supposed to continue along Sixth Avenue until West 59th Street, the entrance to Central Park.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) is a “huge asset” to Vice President Harris’s campaign because he “understands rural America.” On whether Walz’s ability to speak to rural America is overstated, Kelly said, “No, not at all,” in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “Tim Walz is the epitome of the Midwestern dad. You could put him at any state fair, on any Main Street and certainly in any Friday-night football game in rural Kansas, and he would fit right in,” Kelly said. Kelly, a Democrat who leads a red state, pointed to...

People on the far left don't object to slavery per se. Instead, they only object when the slave owners are white.

Although the left opposes voter ID and calls the effort to secure American elections “racist,” they apparently have no problem requiring ID for their events. An email sent to the RSVP list for the Harris-Walz rally in Arizona on Friday said participants must present a matching government-issued photo ID to be admitted to the venue, KTAR reported. ... So, requiring ID to vote is racist, but requiring ID to attend an event with Democrats is not?

A pro player explains how the gravity-defying Hungarian sport took off in CanadaNiche sports like breaking and skateboarding are finally getting their Olympic due in Paris this summer, but another lesser-known game is quickly gaining traction back here in Canada. Teqball, invented in Hungary in 2014, is best described as a combination of soccer and table tennis played on a curved table. Thanks to its Matrix-like moves and highlight-reel-worthy rallies, the game has more than earned its reputation as one of the most difficult sports to pick up. That hasn’t stopped it from growing fast: later this year, a series...

As the USS Abraham Lincoln pulled out from Guam, the aircraft carrier’s captain announced to the crew over the intercom that fresh US strikes to destroy Houthi missiles and drones in the Middle East were a “reminder of the environment we are going to.” The Lincoln is set to relieve the USS Theodore Roosevelt later this month after a planned transit through the South China Sea. It will be the fourth US carrier to be deployed to the region since Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel, a sign of America’s intention to defend its ally and deter major escalation.

Nigeria’s first Olympic cyclist has given her thanks to the German team for a gesture that allowed her to make history for her country and compete in both road and track events. Ese Ukpeseraye was given a late entry into the women’s sprint and Keirin events after arriving in Paris with the Nigerian delegation, but due to the “short notice” given over her inclusion in the events, she didn’t have a specialist track bike to compete. The cycles used at Olympic and other track events are completely different to those used in road races, without gears or brakes and with...

Our Troops Rock! Thank you for all you do! For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday... Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces. Looking forward to tomorrow's freedom? Support The United States Armed Forces Today ~ Hall of Heroes ~Gen. George S. Patton One of the most complicated military men of all time, General George Smith Patton, Jr. was born November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel, California.

Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition,...

USA Gymnastics head coach Cecile Landi submitted the inquiry to change Jordan Chiles’ score 47 seconds after it was posted instead of 64, according to a statement from the organization Sunday. A letter and video evidence was submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sports, the statement said, and USA Gymnastics called for Chiles’ bronze medal in the Olympic women’s floor routine — which she had to return after the court ruled that the inquiry was allegedly submitted four seconds after the deadline of one minute — to be returned to the 23-year-old. “The time-stamped, video evidence submitted by USA...

Rockets launched from south Lebanon at Israeli targets make impact in Nahariya and Kabri as the Iron Dome fails to intercept them.

The pro-LGBT brain rot has seemingly made its way all the way to the world Olympics. No matter what any blue-haired gender studies major tells you (they likely told Bach anyway), chromosomes are the most accurate way to tell a person’s sex. Some in the LGBT community have suggested otherwise by citing the existence of intersex individuals but, as one 2002 report shows, the prevalence of intersex individuals has been greatly exaggerated.

Controversial Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was apparently switched out at the last moment from carrying her nation's flag at Sunday night's Olympics closing ceremony. It had been reported earlier that Khelif, who won gold in women's boxing amid a much-publicised gender row, had been selected to carry the flag of Algeria at the glittering final ceremony at the Stade de France in Paris. However the honour went to gold medal gymnast Kaylia Nemour and bronze-winning track star Djamel Sedjati instead, as Khelif still made an appearance as part of the wider team. Khelif grinned widely as she held up her...

The Most Pressing Need in the World Today: Restoring the Belief in Immutable Catholic Truth “Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed Him: If you continue in My word, you shall be My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) Commenting on this passage from the Gospel of St. John, St Augustine emphasized the unchanging, or immutable, nature of truth:“The truth is unchangeable; it is the bread of the soul, refreshing others, without diminution to itself; changing him who eats into itself, itself not changed. This truth is the...
