During a friendly interview with the All the Smoke podcast, sitting Vice President Kamala Harris proved she has no idea how a bill becomes a law. What we have here is another situation where Kamala is interviewed by her own fans and asked puffball questions in the hopes of making her look good and in command. Unfortunately for her, she’s an idiot with no grasp of why she believes what she believes, and your only takeaway from the interview is how dumb and shallow she is. One of the hosts offered her this layup: “Explain how a bill becomes a...

Jena Griswold, who argued to keep Trump off the presidential ballot, must release records that could show dead people registered to vote... Jena Griswold, Colorado’s rabidly leftist Secretary of State who will forever be known for her anti-democratic drive to knock former President Donald Trump off the ballot, has suffered another election law loss in federal court. The U.S. District Court for the Colorado District last week issued an order demanding the Democrat secretary of state release Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) reports suspected of containing dead registrants on the state’s voter rolls. The reports, according to a settlement, include...

ATLANTA -- — The Mets are headed to the postseason after Francisco Lindor's two-run homer in the ninth capped a wild back-and-forth over the final two innings, giving New York an 8-7 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday in the opener of a makeup doubleheader squeezed in before the start of the playoffs. Atlanta would also earn a wild-card berth by winning the second game, which would eliminate Arizona. If the Mets sweep, the Diamondbacks would get in at the Braves' expense. The Braves led 3-0 heading to the eighth behind rookie starter Spencer Schwellenbach, but that was long...

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed Monday that she suffered from insomnia after President Biden endorsed her as his successor — and that she was sleep deprived the morning she picked her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Harris, 59, told “All The Smoke” hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson that she made her “gut” decision to select Walz after being unable to sleep much the night before, waking up early that Tuesday morning in Washington and using cooking to calm her mind. “And that one morning I just, I mean, I had, I don’t know, a few hours’ sleep —...

Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, once bragged about mass immigration overwhelming a small town in southern Minnesota — calling the situation an example of “beautiful diversity.” In late 2019, Breitbart News reported extensively on Worthington, Minnesota. With fewer than 14,000 residents, the town’s taxpayers were forced to hike taxes to the sum of tens of millions to expand the school district because of a rapid increase in migrant children enrolling. Much of that mass immigration in Worthington is the result of the federal government’s Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program and the fact that a JBS...

I was watching the video in the link. China has become very much a cashless society. They use their phones to purchase everything. A Typhoon hit, knocked out power and nobody could buy anything. In fact, just finding a place with electricity so they could charge their phones was a big deal. It reminded me of: Revelations 6:13 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,...

How Far Have We Fallen Merely Since 1996? (My Title) “In a short twenty-five years, we have cascaded from the Defense of Marriage Act (which prohibited same-sex marriage) getting eighty-four votes in the senate in 1996, including Senator Joe Biden’s; to the US Supreme Court declaring same-sex marriage constitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015; to President Biden appointing two high-profile transvestites to his administration in 2021; to the proliferation of Americans identifying as LGBT, evidenced by a rise to 21 percent among those born between 1997 and 2003 in 2021, or double what it had been just four years...

OOF! Kamala's Nanny-Banging Husband Learns the HARD WAY Not to Talk Smack About Trump Protecting Women --- Doug Emhoff is not the kind of guy who should be defining masculinity OR lecturing other men about protecting women. As we all know, Emhoff cheated on his first wife with the NANNY and proceeded to impregnate her. Now, there are conflicting stories out there about his forcing her to have an abortion and her keeping the baby and signing an NDA or something but ultimately what it boils down to is this guy is a skeeze. And Democrats want him to be...

The new-to-science species has been named Sphyrna alleni. Image courtesy of Cindy Gonzalez Scientists have discovered a new species of hammerhead shark that’s been hiding in plain sight among the bonnetheads. These sharks were already notable for their shovel-like shape, but this new-to-science species really hits the nail on the head for being just so exceptionally shaped like a shovel. Bonnethead sharks are found in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and were previously believed to represent one species, Sphyrna tiburo. They have unusual lifestyles as well as appearances, being one of just a few omnivorous sharks due to their...

The death toll from catastrophic flooding in the Asheville area of western North Carolina more than tripled on Monday to 35 — as survivors in remote mountain towns described seeing the bodies of victims stuck in trees. Nationwide, there have been 120 fatalities from Hurricane Helene, which has cut a path of death and destruction across the Southeast since making landfall last Thursday. The rains smashed the mountains of Buncombe County, which contains Asheville, washing away whole communities in floodwaters and mudslides. Roadways were buried or washed away, leaving victims cut off from rescue crews. “There were bodies in trees....

Explanation: The new comet has passed its closest to the Sun and is now moving closer to the Earth. C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is currently moving out from inside the orbit of Venus and on track to pass its nearest to the Earth in about two weeks. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, pronounced "Choo-cheen-shahn At-less,", is near naked-eye visibility and easily picked up by long-exposure cameras. The comet can also now be found by observers in Earth's northern hemisphere as well as the south. The featured image was captured just a few days ago above Zacatecas, Mexico. Because clouds were obscuring much of the...

The U.S. is sending a “few thousand” troops to the Middle East to bolster security and to defend Israel if necessary, the Pentagon said Monday. The announcement follows word that Israel has already launched limited raids across the border into Lebanon. The additional forces would raise the total number of troops in the region to as many as 43,000. The increased presence will involve multiple fighter jet and attack aircraft squadrons, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters. U.S. officials said the total includes small numbers of other troops to augment the presence as well. It follows recent strikes in Lebanon...

A federal judge ruled on Saturday that part of a Texas law that enacted new voting restrictions violated the U.S. Constitution by being too vague and restricting free speech. The ruling, made by U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez, immediately halted the state’s ability to investigate alleged cases of vote harvesting, such as the investigation into the League of United Latin American Citizens by Attorney General Ken Paxton. Before today’s ruling, a person who knowingly provided or offered vote harvesting services in exchange for compensation was committing a third-degree felony. This meant that organizers of voter outreach organizations and even volunteers...

Military says Nabil Qaouk was ‘directly involved in advancing terror attacks’; Hezbollah also confirms death of Southern Front commander Ali Karaki in Friday strike on Nasrallah Senior Hezbollah official Nabil Qaouk was killed in an Israel Defense Forces airstrike on Saturday in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, the military announced on Sunday morning, as it continued its punishing campaign against the Lebanon-based terror group. According to the IDF, Qaouk was the commander of Hezbollah’s “preventive security unit” and a senior member of the terror group’s central council. He was considered close to Hezbollah’s leadership “and was directly involved in advancing...

President Biden starkly instructed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday to abandon reported plans for an imminent invasion of southern Lebanon to clear out Hezbollah-held areas days after the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah. “Israel may now be launching a limited operation into Lebanon. Are you aware of that? Are you comfortable with their plan?” a journalist asked Biden at the White House. “I’m more aware than you might know, and I’m comfortable with them stopping,” the president replied. “We should have a cease-fire now,” he added.

Agrowing number of Amazon employees are “rage applying” for other jobs in the wake of CEO Andy Jassy’s mandate to return to the office full-time at the start of the new year, according to a report. One Amazon worker who had become accustomed to working from home during her tenure at the company told Fortune magazine that she learned of the new mandate from a story in the news media rather than from her superiors. “Honestly, I’ve lost so much trust in Amazon leadership at this point,” said the employee, who identified herself as Laura. She was incensed that the...

Former President Donald Trump alleged on Monday that Democrats are “interfering” in his 2024 White House bid by rejecting his campaign’s requests for more security. Trump wrote on Truth Social that his campaign has been forced to “turn away thousands of people from arenas and venues” because his requests for more Secret Service agents have not been met. The Republican nominee was the target of two assassination attempts within 64 days. “The Democrats are interfering with my Campaign by not giving us the proper number of people within Secret Service that are necessary for Security. They’re using them for themselves,...
