On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, host Joe Scarborough warned that "Trump will be a dictator if he gets back into office. He will censor TV stations that criticize his policies, prosecute his political opponents, and have government agents assassinate his enemies." CNN's Jake Tapper wryly observed that "President Biden didn't have to censor TV stations because we've all been on the side of the Democrats, but he did have the FBI pressure Facebook and Twitter to censor criticism of his covid policies and his Attorney General has been prosecuting Trump. On top of that, the Secret Service demonstrated extraordinary incompetence...

Kamala Harris has been very secretive about her policies — in fact, no one really knows if she even has any. Unbeknownst to everyone, however, Kamala has been preparing several policies this whole time. In a world exclusive, The Babylon Bee has gone deep undercover to find the following list of secret policies Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want to institute when they are elected: Get rid of dividers between urinals: Tim Walz was reportedly a big proponent of this one.

On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jared Bernstein responded to the August jobs report by stating that “the market has an overreaction function. Today’s a pretty simple story, if you keep it down to its fundamentals, employment up, wages up, unemployment down, inflation down. Put that all together and it’s a recipe for continued growth, continued real gains, and I think an expansion that will persist.”

Animal sacrifices are surging in Queens, with chickens, pigs and rats being tortured, mutilated or killed in “twisted” religious rituals in parkland surrounding Jamaica Bay, The Post has learned. In a little over a month, at least nine wounded animals or carcasses have been discovered in the federally-managed Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Broad Channel — including five live pigs with partially severed ears. Creatures recovered from the revolting scene also include a near-dead baby rat tied up in a bag with chicken bones; a freshly-decapitated chicken head; a live hen in...

The Internet Archive has lost a legal battle which could see the whole web get a lot less freaky. The Second Circuit US Court of Appeals upheld a previous ruling in favor of Hachette Book Group. Hachette sued the Internet Archive over a project which scanned library books and lent infinite copies. Hachette and other publishers argued this was “tantamount to piracy,” as Wired phrases it.

Eighty-eight big-business leaders signed a letter Friday endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, underscoring the ongoing political realignment since 2016. Before former President Donald Trump won the presidency, the Republican Party appeared to be the party of big-business and corporate interests. Now the Democrat party is taking up that mantle in the banner of globalism and “democracy,” a reformation of political identities dating back to Franklin D. Roosevelt and beyond.

Donald Trump is likely to win the most votes in Pennsylvania, but unless he leads by at least 3 percent on Election Day, it is likely that Kamala Harris will be declared the winner. If that happens, the Republicans will have to take extraordinary steps to dispute the stolen election. To understand the need for an extra 3 percent, we must review the serious problems of the 2020 election, which remain today. Two big problemsPennsylvania does not require ID when voting by mail. That is bad enough. But just before the 2020 election, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court eliminated the only other...

Since Vice President Kamala Harris took over the Democratic ticket, she’s received support from many prominent conservatives — who are largely endorsing Harris out of their opposition to Donald Trump. They have said that the former president is amoral, crude, and “simply untenable” — so much so that they will be defecting from their own party when they vote for president in November.

Anti-immigrant backlash is nothing new, say sociology and criminology experts, who point to attacks against Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants about 100 years ago he profanity-filled text message called them “animals” and warned them to “be ready” for a militia gearing up to fight — because “everyone who hates illegals know where you live.” Jerson, a Venezuelan who came to Colorado in December, had been selling empanadas, arepas and Gatorade to people living in his apartment complex as they finished their work day, and he had included his phone number on the green poster-board menu that he hung in his...

. @Naval Ravikant says the Democrat Party's lawfare against President Trump is "disgusting behavior" that could "end the Republic" and lead to a "one-party state better known as a dictatorship." "If you look at the charges brought against Trump, and I actually read them quite carefully. These were really Trumped-up charges. They were really made up. You violate the statute of limitations. You try to drum things up into a felony when there was no evidence of such. It was a miscategorization of business expenses. It's this selective prosecution." "If you want the case against Kamala Harris, it's the fact...
