Former President Bill Clinton will hit the trail this weekend to begin what is expected to be a very targeted push across battleground states through Election Day, three sources familiar with his plans told CNN. The former president will seek to appeal to rural voters, among whom polls have shown Vice President Kamala Harris is performing worse than some of the last few Democratic nominees, particularly among younger Black men. Former President Barack Obama is also hitting the trail, beginning Thursday night in Pittsburgh. Clinton will start with stops in Georgia on Sunday and Monday, with a bus tour next...

There are some people so incompetent that they could blow a tap-in putt. “Hand me the wedge,” they say as they overlook a 2-inch gap. You can’t help these people, even though they are likely the most in need of saving anyone, because you can’t save people from themselves. This, I suspect, is why the handlers of Kamala Harris have chosen to run the campaign they have. Hiding is the only defense against incompetence. The only problem is that no matter where you hide, there you are. A person can escape a lot, themselves is not one of them. After...

How great is Bidenomics working out for the people of Massachusetts? Our citizens are doing so well economically here that the number of active EBT cards – food stamps – has increased from 1,944,399 in July 2023 to 2,616,882 on Sept. 1 of this year. Nothing says the economy is great like a 34.6% increase in the number of food-stamp recipients in Massachusetts – in a mere 14 months. Isn’t this wonderful news? Happy days are here again. Just ask Kamala Harris. Way back in 1932, then-presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “I see one third of a nation ill-clothed,...

Donald Trump is going all in on Pennsylvania and Georgia, the two critical swing states most likely to decide the entire election. Yet new polls suggest that he could walk away with the entire Rust Belt, in what would not only be a devastating wipe out for Kamala Harris, but a rejection of the entire Democratic Party. If Harris loses Pennsylvania, the game could already be over. Yet if she loses Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan,she’ll deliver the Democratic Party the reckoning that it’s long since deserved.

After Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida on Wednesday, Sunshine State residents who own electric vehicles have been urged to be cautious. Ahead of Milton, one county that was in the hurricane’s path, Hillsborough County, said Monday EV owners in flood zones “should move their vehicles away from flood areas and storm surge” and noted storm surge and flooding can “pose a potential risk to lithium-ion batteries and could lead to fires.” It shared a county webpage about electric vehicle hurricane safety. EVs left behind during hurricanes should not be plugged into charging stations or parked in garages because of...

US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said on Thursday that de-escalation was needed in the Middle East, Reuters reported. "We have got to reach a ceasefire," Harris told reporters as she departed Las Vegas, while commenting on the situations in Gaza and Lebanon. "We've got to de-escalate.”

After one voter observed that Harris was never elected to be the Democrat nominee but just magically became such when “President Biden was pushed aside,” the vice president naturally drove home the point for the umpteenth time that Donald Trump is the “unprecedented” threat to democracy. Funny she brought up Trump and democracy because the former president actually made an apropos comment about the topic earlier the same day, telling the Economic Club of Detroit: “Our biggest threat to democracy is stupid people.” He’s onto something. Stupid people — people who know nothing of civic responsibility or common sense —...

A top globalist politician once hailed as the “Trump whisperer” who is now the Secretary General of NATO says he foresees a good relationship with whoever wins the U.S. Presidential elections next month, disarming some legacy criticism that Donald Trump is somehow a danger to the Western alliance. Former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has been the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) for 11 days, a position he secured to some extent on his strength as a rare internationalist-globalist who publicly made nice with President Trump while he was in office. He visited London on Thursday...

When Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi brandished their political knives in to force Biden out of the race, it was their plan to anoint a successor by way of negotiation among the establishment. They would have avoided any populist disruption by primary support for a hard-lined leftist like Bernie and could have nominated a moderate with some crossover appeal.

Latest polls from the WSJ show a mixed bag with some head-scratchers: Trump + 6 in Nevada Pennsylvania: +1 Michigan: DOWN 2 North Carolina: TIED Georgia: DOWN 2 Wisconsin: TIED Arizona: DOWN 2

To keep with an Obama era housing rule that prohibits landlords from banning tenants with criminal records, the Biden administration is going after property owners that use background checks to screen perspective renters. Under the civil rights law known as the Fair Housing Act, housing discrimination is prohibited based on race or color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status or disability but Obama’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued an order in 2016 adding criminals to the protected class. In the document Helen R. Kanovsky, then HUD General Counsel, wrote that a policy or practice that restricts...

Vice President Kamala Harris appears on Vogue’s latest cover in a gushing profile describing her as the “candidate for our times.” The magazine posted the October digital cover spotlighting the Democratic presidential nominee first thing Friday, with a moody photo of her smiling at her Washington, DC, home while wearing a Gabriela Hearst suit and her now-notorious Tiffany earrings. The fawning cover, which mostly highlights Harris’ rise in politics and is largely lacking any bombshells, is likely to be the last the magazine publishes prior to next month’s election. “Only rarely are individuals summoned for acts of national rescue, but...

Remember the last time the globalists took the mask off? It wasn’t that long ago, but some people might have already forgotten how the western world almost lost all individual freedom under the guise of an over-hyped health emergency. When globalists are honest about what they truly want, it usually coincides with an engineered calamity. In the two years since the failure of the covid pandemic narrative I have argued that globalist organizations are trying to regroup under a new plan. The evidence suggests that these people suffered a shocking revelation after their attempt to implement perpetual medical tyranny. They’ve...

The moderator of Thursday night’s Univision town hall with Kamala Harris is pushing back on claims that she used a Teleprompter at the event. Figures such as Sean Hannity and Bill Ackman have advanced the claim, even though the Teleprompter text was written in Spanish. Enrique Acevedo, the moderator, wrote on X on Thursday evening, “The prompter displayed my introduction (in Spanish) and then it switched to a timer. Any claim to the contrary is simply untrue.” Daniel Coronell, president of Univision News, also posted, “The teleprompter that displays a text written in Spanish was a support element for the...

The fit, helpful strangers who descended on Horseshoe Beach, Fla., after Hurricane Helene were a welcome sight. The men swiftly chopped through downed trees and cleared mounds of debris for distressed residents in the small gulf-coast town west of Gainesville. These weren’t typical disaster-relief volunteers. They were members of Patriot Front, an organization branded by the Anti-Defamation League as a white-supremacist group.

Rising complaints about dangerous street racing and illegal car rallies have spurred action in Brampton, as Peel police say they have increased patrols and plan to impose hefty new fines introduced by city council on drivers causing nuisance. Until last week, Brampton's blanket public nuisance bylaw had offenders facing fines that started at $300. Now, drivers holding illegal car rallies, racing, causing noise or damaging public property could face fines ranging from $800 to $2,000. Coun. Rowena Santos said the fines will help the city to put the brakes on illegal car rallies that police have raised as a serious...

Is a longtime Kamala friend part of a Hamas family? “I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”.Hala Hijazi was there for all of Kamala’s races, raising money for her...

Putting American hurricane victims behind illegal aliens. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to the position of senior adviser to the president while continuing to serve as press secretary for the remainder of President Biden’s term. Ms. Jean-Pierre proved once again during her October 7th White House press briefing why the most accurate title for her service to the Biden-Harris administration is Chief Propaganda Officer. She resorted to the Biden-Harris administration’s customary accusation of “misinformation” when asked why the Biden administration is providing additional money to Lebanon while North Carolina residents in need are not getting enough...

All Hurricane Helene-damaged counties will be ready to accept in-person voters when early voting starts statewide on Oct. 17. Nearly all the early voting sites that elections officials in those western North Carolina counties had planned to open can still be used, state Elections Director Karen Brinson Bell told reporters Thursday. Of the 80 locations originally planned in those counties, 75 will open. “This is absolutely outstanding that our county boards of elections have pulled this off in western North Carolina given the devastation and destruction left by Helene,” she said. State elections officials talked to reporters the day after...

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday accepted an invitation from his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to visit Russia, the state-run RIA news agency reported.
