Richard Grenell@RichardGrenell Arab American leaders in Detroit have been told by the Kamala campaign that @keithellison is on the short list to be Attorney General if she should win.

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe has obtained leaked U.S. Army documents revealing the growing threat of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TDA) in New York City. The Tren de Aragua, one of Venezuela’s most dangerous gangs, has reportedly established a foothold in key neighborhoods across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Williamsburg, with an estimated 400 members currently residing in those areas. According to the documents, which are categorized as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Tren de Aragua is actively involved in human trafficking, drug smuggling, and arms dealing, posing an imminent threat not only to local communities but to law enforcement...

Former President Donald Trump’s lead over Vice President Kamala Harris is growing among independents, according to a survey from the Economist/YouGov. As is consistent with a survey from the previous week, this poll showed Harris leading Trump, overall, by two percentage points, 47 percent to Trump’s 45 percent. However, one thing that did not remain exactly the same this time around is Trump’s lead among independents, as it is now growing — a trend that has been a long time coming.

A suspected Venezualan gang member who is not a U.S. citizen now has an ICE detainer hold after he was accused of sexually assaulting a juvenile female in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, according to Prairie du Chien Police Chief Kyle Teynor. The suspect, Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, 26 of Venezuela, is believed to be a member of “Tren de Aragua,” a violent Venezuelan gang, Teynor wrote in the Sept. 6 press release. That’s the same gang that sparked massive outrage and headlines after a video emerged showing gang members at an Aurora, Colorado, apartment building. According to online court records,...

The right-wing think tank has been pushing misinformation about voting into social media feeds. The Georgia secretary of state’s office called one video “a stunt.”In July, two men went door to door at a sprawling apartment complex in Norcross, Ga., an Atlanta suburb that is a hub for the region’s fast-growing Latino population, asking residents if they were U.S. citizens and whether they were registered to vote. Speaking in Spanish, often peeking from behind half-closed doors, seven people told the men that they were not citizens but that they were registered to vote. Although the two men claimed to represent...

On warm summer nights, the park across the street from my house is filled with people playing dribbling soccer balls, playing volleyball, or engaging in aggressive games of Spikeball. Nearly all of them will have music playing through Bluetooth speakers, usually from the Spotify Top 100. And if I’m honest, none of this music is any good. All I hear is mumbled lyrics tunelessly rendered (well, except for the overuse of Auto-Tune) and beats so quantized that they could be substituted for an atomic clock

Kamala Harris’s razor-sharp debate skills have powered her political ascent. Her success next week will turn on how well she adapts to an unpredictable rival. Few of the people gathered in the San Francisco church knew quite what to expect from Kamala Harris. It was 2003, and the two men she faced in her first political campaign were well-known brawlers locked in a rematch to become the city’s district attorney — one of whom was her former boss. Ms. Harris was a little-known government lawyer who had landed in the local gossip pages for dating Willie Brown, one of the...

AMBOY, Wash. – Police bodycam footage shows the moment search and rescue teams saved a 7-year-old girl who had become lost in the wilderness overnight in southwest Washington. The rescue occurred in mid-August after the child wandered away from her family’s campsite at Lake Merwin Campers Hideaway, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said. When she didn’t return, deputies, detectives and search and rescue members searched for the girl, who remained missing overnight. As morning came, a fisherman heard a child crying on a steep slope near the water and called 911.

RUSSIA has declared a state of emergency in one of its regions after Kyiv launched a huge kamikaze drone strike on a missile storage facility. Video circulating on social media showed explosions erupt in Russia's Voronezh region after a hit on one of Vlad's ammunition dumps. Authorities were urgently evacuating residents after the Ukrainians struck around 3am. A huge blaze burned and there were follow-up explosions throughout the night. Footage taken from a highway showed constant explosions as the night sky was lit up by bright orange flashes. A major highway was closed while shells and other munitions exploded. The...

Comedian Jim Breuer has claimed that the names on Jeffrey Epstein list are so powerful and influential that their exposure could bring down governments, topple Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry worldwide.

Venezuelan security forces surrounded the Argentine embassy in the capital Caracas on Friday after two opposition members took refuge inside, according to posts by the opposition duo on social media. The pair joined four other Venezuelan opposition figures who have taken refuge in the embassy this year. One of the men, Pedro Urruchurtu, the international coordinator for opposition leader María Corina Machado, wrote on X that there were patrols of hooded and armed officials surrounding the diplomatic building. The other, former deputy Omar González, also posted on X, writing: “They cut off the electricity service to the Argentine embassy in...

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has a new "climate engagement director": Camila Thorndike, a veteran figure in the far-left climate movement who has suggested she will not have children over fear of climate change and most recently worked for a group at the center of efforts to ban gas stoves. Thorndike served for two years in various senior positions at Rewiring America, a climate-focused nonprofit that has advocated for the United States to rapidly electrify its entire economy—from the transportation and manufacturing sectors, to the residential and power sectors—according to her LinkedIn profile. In her role with the Harris campaign,...

U.S. — Vice President Kamala Harris was seen by several witnesses this week ask aides if maybe she should try sleeping with the United States economy. "Would that help?" Harris reportedly asked, the question punctuated by nervous laughter. According to sources, it took her team several minutes to figure out what she was talking about since she first broached the subject with vague questions about the economy's idea of the perfect date and whether or not it was seeing anybody. American celebrity news site TMZ obtained the following recording from an anonymous White House source: Harris: So how would I...

Hillary Clinton has as much experience as any Democrat in debating Donald J. Trump.The 2016 presidential campaign, when she was her party’s nominee, included three of the six general-election debates Mr. Trump has participated in. Those faceoffs went a long way toward shaping the country’s vision of his candidacy and what he would be like as president.Mr. Trump, of course, went on to win the 2016 election — an outcome that still haunts Democrats.When Mrs. Clinton called this week to discuss her old debate coach, Karen Dunn, who is helping out Vice President Kamala Harris this time around, I took...

CNN has obtained exclusive video that appears to show Ukrainian troops trying to surrender to Russian forces, only to be gunned down in cold blood.

One of the things that is just so infuriating is when you look at the way Democrats and Republicans are treated in the media, in particular, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris versus former President Donald Trump. They are constantly telling lies and repeating hoaxes about Trump, yet the media not only doesn't call them out on it, they repeat it and spread the hoaxes without question. Then they say Trump lies. It's a constant propaganda war machine to indoctrinate the public. The good thing is now, with the rise of new and independent media, that we can push back against...

Vice President Kamala Harris is holed up for five days in a Pittsburgh hotel, doing highly choreographed debate practice sessions ahead of Tuesday night’s clash. There’s a stage and replica TV lighting and an adviser in full Lee Strasberg method-acting mode, not just playing Donald J. Trump but inhabiting him, wearing a boxy suit and a long tie.The former president’s preparations are more improv. They are pointedly called not “debate prep” but “policy time,” meant to refresh him on his record. Nobody is playing Ms. Harris; sometimes his aides sit at a long table opposite him and bat questions back...

A Pakistani national was arrested in Canada this week for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at a Jewish center in New York City on the anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas militants against Israeli civilians. Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, was charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to the terrorist organization ISIS, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). “The defendant is alleged to have planned a terrorist attack in New York City around October 7th of this year with the stated goal of slaughtering, in the name of ISIS,...

Billionaire Mark Cuban acknowledged that Vice President Kamala Harris' plan to tax unrealized capital gains would "kill the stock market," while insisting that she won't go through with it as dubious CNBC hosts pushed back in a contentious interview Thursday. Cuban joined CNBC's "Squawk Box" on the phone to discuss his support for Harris, revealing that he regularly communicates with her campaign to advise on economic issues. The interview took a turn when Cuban was asked about the Biden administration’s proposal – which the Harris campaign has indicated it supports – to tax investment returns that have not yet been...

TikTok and a group of creators on the popular short video app have tapped a pair of leading U.S. Supreme Court lawyers to battle the U.S. government over a law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. assets or face a ban. Andrew Pincus of law firm Mayer Brown will argue against the controversial U.S. law for TikTok and ByteDance when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit hears arguments in their case on Sept 16. Jeffrey Fisher of Stanford Law School will advocate for content creators. They will face longtime appellate lawyer Daniel Tenny of the Justice...
