  • Why you should mostly ignore "internal polls"

    The Silver Bulletin ^ | October 10, 2024 | Nate Silver
    By Nate Silver So as long as I’ve been covering politics, people have been fascinated by internal polls (surveys that the campaigns themselves or closely affiliated partisan groups conduct). Especially given the high-profile public polling misses in recent years, surely the campaigns know the real story of the race? Well, no. Or at least, not necessarily. If you really knew what the campaigns knew, that would probably provide valuable information. But unless you’re an Iranian or Russian hacker, you probably don’t. Instead, you know what the campaigns want you to know. Suppose that you’ve bugged both the Harris and Trump...

    Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will next week highlight her economic policies that benefit Black men, hoping to energize a voting bloc that some advisers fear has embraced Republican rival Donald Trump in large numbers, three sources familiar with the plans said. The policy focus will coincide with an event in Detroit on Tuesday where Harris will be interviewed by popular Black radio personality Charlamagne tha God, who has been critical of the Biden administration, the sources said. … Over a quarter of young Black men say they would support Trump in the election race, a September poll by the...

    College Republicans at ASU question legality of campaign’s access to student data, demands transparency from school The Kamala Harris presidential campaign texted 70,000 Arizona State University students and a total of 150,000 students statewide, urging them to vote for her. Now, students, a professor, and a state representative are demanding answers. College Republicans at ASU announced on Twitter and Instagram that the Harris campaign texted “students from [all] Arizona universities,” including ASU, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona. “If Kamala Harris has access to all of Arizona college students’ phone numbers, what ELSE do they have?” the group...
  • Biden sabotaging Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign after being forced to drop re-election bid, pundits say

    Nypost ^ | 10/12/2024 | By Doree Lewak and Rich Calder
    Et Tu, Biden? President Biden is so bitter about being forced to drop his re-election bid by top members of his own party that he’s deliberately sabotaging Kamala Harris’ campaign, according to a growing chorus of political pundits. Since being pressured out of the race in July over fears about declining cognitive abilities, Biden has done little for Harris beyond endorsing her, and has largely been a no-show at his vice president’s campaign events. He’s also pulled the spotlight from his intended successor on numerous occasions, including delivering his own comments last week on how the White House is responding...
  • The U.S. government is now effectively a criminal organization

    American Thinker ^ | 10/12/2024 | Eric Utter
    I saw a ‘tweet’ recently suggesting that the government of the United States has become a ‘criminal organization.’ (I don’t remember precisely when or from whom the ‘tweet’ was issued.) I know that statement is hard to swallow, unpleasant as a root canal. And hard to fathom for those who grew up in the Great Depression and lived through World War II, Camelot, and the Reagan Revolution. It is, however, nonetheless true. Government as mafia. Turns out, Uncle Sam is a capo, head of an unimaginably vast criminal racket. Criminal racket definition: an act of organized crime where one or...

    On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), who is also a Harris-Walz Surrogate, stated that “Some people say that, because immigrants are less likely to commit crimes, that the fact that there [are] more immigrants is one of the reasons that crime went down” in Aurora, but the influx of migrants to the state “is one of the reasons I’m so excited about Kamala Harris” because she has a plan to fix the crisis on the border. Polis said, “I have, of course, met with ICE and the FBI, both of them have field offices...

  • VIDEO: Did Kamala Become Nominee Because of ...Mark Halperin?

    Rumble ^ | October 12, 2024 | DUmmie FUnnies
    VIDEOAccording to Mark Halperin the Democrats choose Kamala Harris to be their nominee even though they, and especially Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, did NOT want her to be the nominee. The Democrats, and Obama-Pelosi, were correct in their initial reluctance to choose Kamala as the nominee because she has had a HORRIBLE track record in the past as a candidate. The utterly dislikeable Kamala was such a poor candidate that in 2019 she dropped out of the presidential primary race BEFORE the Iowa primary. So why would they choose such as disaster of a candidate to be their nominee...

    Daily Readings from the USCCBWhile Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.” He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” Luke 11:27–28This short Gospel reading reveals much about what makes one “blessed” in life. Specifically, Jesus considers those truly blessed who do two things: “hear the word of God” and then “observe it.” Though this seems quite obvious at first read, it is often harder than it seems. The first step to...
  • LIVE: President Trump Holds a Rally in Coachella, CA – 10/12/24 5PM PDT

    President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a rally in Coachella, California on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at 5:00PM PDT. Under Kamala Harris and her dangerous Democrat allies like Tim Walz, the notorious "California Dream" has turned into a nightmare for everyday Americans. Since Harris and Biden took office, prices have skyrocketed by nearly 20 percent, leaving Californians grappling with crushing costs. Families are struggling to stay afloat, with the average California household losing more than $33,232 since January 2021. Californians are suffocating under rising prices for everything from groceries to...

    Newsweek ^ | 10/12/2024 | Brendan Cole
    One of Moscow's fighter jets has been shot down by Ukrainian forces, according to a military blogger with links to the Russian air force. Another pro-Moscow milblogger said that the Sukhoi Su-34 aircraft had been downed by a Western-supplied F-16. Neither report has been confirmed and Newsweek has contacted the Russian and Ukrainian defense ministries for comment over the unverified claims which have sparked much speculation on social media. The Telegram channel Fighterbomber posted on Saturday a message which looked like a tribute to a lost Su-34 fighter jet. Next to an image of the supersonic medium-range fighter bomber, which...

    NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE ^ | Tom O'Connor
    The United States will face "dangerous consequences" if it presses on with growing military aid to Ukraine rather than backing a proposed Russian settlement that would see Moscow take over swathes of territory, the man serving as Russian President Vladimir Putin's top diplomat for 20 years said in exclusive responses to Newsweek questions. Well over two and a half years after Putin ordered a "special military operation" against Ukraine, invading the country in what has become the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the Kremlin offers a viable blueprint to end the...

    COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Body camera video showing deputies helping the Cobb County sheriff with a faulty fast food order started grabbing the attention of voters on Friday. “The video definitely tuned me in,” said Sophia Farook. Channel 2 Action News obtained three body camera videos from the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office. Each one shows a deputy responding to the Burger King on Veterans Memorial Highway in Mableton on March 4, 2023. In the videos, the deputies approach Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens, Sr. in his truck parked in the parking lot. He tells one of them, “Hey, do me...

    Funny how the Democrats and their sick press depend on us forgetting what they did. How could we ever forget? Just after COVID, "Protesters", you know who they were. Went from one Democratic major city to another Burned, Looted and Pillaged while our vile Democratic Press cheered the Looters and Burners. So, let's start with Tim Walz's MINNEAPOLIS. As Governor of MINNESOTA since 2019. What did he do while Minneapolis burned?? Why NOTHING, he sat on his hands and Progressively saying those under him "did not provide the specifics necessary for deployment at the time". And in short order... "throughout...

    CNN ^ | 12 Oct 2024 | Natasha Bertrand, Kylie Atwood, Jennifer Hansler and Alex Marquardt,
    Iran’s government is extremely nervous and has been engaging in urgent diplomatic efforts with countries in the Middle East to gauge whether they can reduce the scale of Israel’s response to its missile attack earlier this month and – if that fails – help protect Tehran, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Iran’s anxiety stems from uncertainty about whether the US can convince Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear sites and oil facilities, and the fact that its most important proxy militia in the region, Hezbollah, has been significantly weakened ... A major part of the fears is that...

    The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it has filed a lawsuit against the City of South Bend that alleges discrimination in the hiring process for entry-level police officers at the South Bend Police Department. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges it violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by using a written exam that discriminates against Black applicants and a physical fitness test that discriminates against female applicants. The South Bend Police Department’s physical fitness test includes a vertical jump, sit-ups, push-ups, a 300-meter run, a 1.5 mile run and a pistol trigger pull. From 2016 through August of 2019,...
