Near the bottom of its menu, the Jerusalem Coffee House advertises the “Sweet Sinwar” orange, ginger, and carrot juice.

First, Springfield, Ohio, then Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and now Logansport, Indiana—these small towns share one thing in common: Each has seen a massive influx of Haitian migrants that the Secretary of Homeland Security granted Temporary Protected Status. These migrants are dumped into towns with factories, replacing blue-collar native-born workers by the thousands in what we’ve dubbed the ‘Great Job Replacement.’

Aurora, Colorado has become a "war zone" due to the influx of violent Venezuelan prison gang members from Tren de Aragua. With approximately 43,000 migrants flooding the neighboring city of Denver since December 2022, many of these migrants have made their way to Aurora, bringing chaos and fear with them. Local families have been forced to flee their homes as Tren de Aragua members terrorize apartment complexes with guns, theft, and rampant drug activity. Kamala Harris’ open-border policies are turning once-safe communities into nightmares for law-abiding citizens. Tren de Aragua gang members infiltrated multiple apartment complexes in Aurora.

Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar is pushing for Palestinian terrorists to revive the horrifying practice of using suicide-bombs against Israelis — as the “megalomaniac” terror leader surrounds himself with hostages for his own protection, according to reports. After Israeli officials shut down speculation that Sinwar might be dead earlier this week, White House Mideast czar Brett McGurk confirmed Wednesday that the Oct. 7 mastermind remains in power surrounded by human-shields. “He remains — we believe — alive and in a tunnel underneath Gaza, holding hostages, and likely with hostages in his vicinity,” McGurk said in a White House call with American...

Kamala Harris got caught using a teleprompter during Thursday night’s Univision town hall in Las Vegas. Harris pandered to Latina voters by participating in a town hall hosted by Univision. The internal polls for Harris must be horrific. Of course, Kamala Harris had to use a teleprompter because she has no clue what she’s talking about. Univision panicked after they realized they showed Kamala Harris’s teleprompter live on air. As soon as the camera panned behind Kamala Harris, the teleprompter went black. But it was too late.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Harris-Walz Campaign Senior Adviser and Senior Spokesperson Adrienne Elrod stated that the “economy was good, for Trump, at the beginning, because of President Barack Obama’s economy.” But, at the end of Trump’s term, “when the pandemic happened, President Biden had to come in and clean it up. Otherwise, we were heading toward a recession.” Elrod said, “Trump likes to go out there and talk about how great the economy was, but…that economy was good, for Trump, at the beginning, because of President Barack Obama’s economy. And then, at the end, when the...
