The 2024 presidential contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is more than just two ideologies competing over what should happen. It's two groups of voters that look out at the country and don't even agree on what's happening right now. Views about hurricane relief are just one example of many. To most of former President Donald Trump's voters, that relief isn't going to the people impacted. To Vice President Kamala Harris' voters, it is. Trump's voters view the U.S. economy as bad, while most Harris voters view the economy as good. Trump's voters say U.S.-Mexico border crossings are increasing...

Omarosa Manigault Newman, who rose to mononymous fame as a contestant on “The Apprentice” before joining former President Trump’s administration, says she’s “100 percent endorsing Kamala Harris for president.” “Donald Trump squandered the greatest opportunity he had in his life to be a consequential leader, to shape the direction of our nation and bend it toward something positive,” Newman said in an interview with Variety published Monday. “He opted to go to the dark side,” Newman said of Trump. Newman, who appeared in 2004 on the first season of “The Apprentice,” hosted at the time by then-New York real estate...

India and Canada each expelled the other's ambassador and five other top diplomats, after New Delhi said its envoy had been named among "persons of interest" following the killing of a Sikh separatist leader. New Delhi said it was withdrawing its six diplomats from Canada, but an Ottawa government source told AFP they had been expelled, not withdrawn. The 2023 murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar crashed the country's diplomatic relations with India after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were "credible allegations" linking Indian intelligence services to the crime. The expulsion of the diplomats -- the most senior...

Israel is in a race against time to respond to Iran’s ballistic missile attack and maintain the momentum that began about a month ago in its war for survival. Meanwhile, all the usual suspects in the West are hellbent on reining in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's vision of a post Oct. 7 Middle East where the Jewish state keeps the upper hand. Will Jerusalem bend or will Netanyahu push forward towards victory against Iran and its proxies? JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick discusses all this and more on this episode of "In-Focus." Chapters 00:00 Israel's Strategic Dilemma Post-Iran Attack...

The United States needs more migrants to replace the children that Americans are not producing, former President Bill Clinton said at a press event on Sunday. “America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up, so we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work,” Clinton said at a fish fry in Fort Valley, Georgia. He repeated the claim at another campaign stop on October 14, saying, “We got the lowest birth rate we’ve had in well over 100 years. We’re not at replacement level, which means we got to have somebody come here if we want...

Part 1:First 25 minutes of video are Israel, Lebanon etc.25:21 - Ukraine portion of video begins....Supplying THAAD missiles to Ukraine is unlikely now that the US is sending them to Israel. Ultimate plan of the West is to establish a defense line oat the Dnipo river with air defenses (to includeTHAAD, fiber optics to be installed in this area). These plans have gone forward to some extent, but to a lesser degree than anticipated, and now that the US will give THADD to Israel, Mercouris thinks the original plan cannot go much further. Zelensky must realize chances of missiles from...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign began running this 60-second ad called “Safety and Security” on television stations in Georgia and North Carolina on Thursday and has spent about $75,000 to air it so far in markets affected by the recent hurricane, according to AdImpact. The biggest expenditures have been in Charlotte, Raleigh and Asheville, N.C.Here’s a look at the ad, its accuracy and its major takeaway.On the ScreenThe ad toggles between two former Trump administration officials who are shown speaking directly to the camera: Kevin Carroll, who was a senior counselor to the Homeland Security secretary, and Olivia Troye, who...

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) fell silent after being asked by a debate moderator and his Democratic opponent whether he supports enacting mass deportations of migrants, a policy that former President Trump has called for. The moment came during a debate between Kean and Democratic candidate Sue Altman on Sunday as part of the race to represent New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District in the House. Micah Rasmussen, the director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics and one of the moderators, asked Kean if he would support the policy, and if so, how the costs of the policy will...

The future of voting rights in the U.S. is on this fall’s ballot with the two major party candidates for president offering two starkly different paths. Vice President Harris, the Democratic nominee, is calling for strengthening legal protections against racial discrimination in the election process and making it easier for eligible voters to cast ballots. Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, is pushing for more restrictions to voting access that would likely disproportionately affect voters of color. The Republican nominee — who has refused to commit to accepting this year’s election results without conditions, while facing four felony...

Every poll of Palestinians since October 7, 2023, by both AWRAD – Arab World for Research and Development, and PSR - Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, shows that an overwhelming majority of Palestinians supported and continue to support the rapes, torture, beheadings, and murder of more than 1,100 people in southern Israel led by Hamas, and their kidnapping of 250 hostages. Significantly, the polls found that the support in the West Bank was higher than the that the Gaza Strip. Asked if they supported the attack on Oct 7, the first poll in November 2023 found West Bank...

Yet another study has emerged to confirm that ivermectin can successfully treat cancer patients. Researchers in Mexico have revealed that ivermectin outperforms chemotherapy as a treatment for breast cancer. Scientists have been publishing research dating back to 1996 showing that ivermectin could be an effective cancer treatment. More recent research has discovered that ivermectin inhibits cancer stem cells. Tumor growth is generally driven by so-called bulk tumor cells. However, another subpopulation of cells within cancer tumors presents a stem cell phenotype. These cells are referred to in the scientific literature as “cancer stem-like cells” or CSCs. What makes cancer stem-like...

Former President Bill Clinton was mistaken for President Joe Biden by an employee at a Georgia McDonald’s he visited while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, a video shared by a top aide shows. “The boss was stumping for @KamalaHarris in Georgia and had to stop by the old stomping grounds, @McDonalds,” wrote Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, in a Sunday X post: Decked out in a red, white, and blue “USA” sweater, the ex-president was recorded standing at the fast food restaurant’s counter as the clearly confused workers tried to figure out who he was. “You Joe?”...

Just noticed on local Syracuse NY tv stations, Democrat John Mannion is stating that Republicans and "MAGA Extremists" are going to cut/end Social Security. In addition, they "rejected a bi partisan border bill because Trump told them to reject it." Not seeing any counter ads by Brandon Williams (R)

Transcript linked below video. Come on it's just 19 minutes, and Mahyar has a cute accent. His sister has more power and she's heavy-duty nuts, and they're threatening South Korea. Again.

While the second Monday in October has historically been celebrated as Columbus Day and is still federally recognized as such, many have pushed for moving away from the holiday to acknowledge the atrocities Columbus committed against the Indigenous People of the hemisphere.

Wednesday’s debate in the European Parliament (EP) confirmed what those on the right have long suspected: both the EP and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have become political instruments of the left-wing mainstream in their campaign against sovereign states. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán travelled to Strasbourg to outline the priorities of Hungary’s EU Presidency but found himself in the midst of a purely political and personal confrontation. Both the Commission President and the leaders of the EP’s mainstream political groups launched a series of baseless accusations and propagandistic attacks against Hungary. However, as facts are stubborn things,...

Baltimore police are seeking information about a fan attack that appeared to occur after the Ravens-Commanders game on Sunday. A video has spread on social media appearing to show a Ravens fan brutally attacking two Commanders fans in Baltimore. In the video, a man wearing a Lamar Jackson jersey approaches two fans in Commanders jerseys and beats both of them up, as the man recording the video yells, “We’ve got a straggler!”

The NFL has moved numerous games to other countries, but an international Super Bowl has always seemed off limits. The tone of that conversation is shifting though. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about the possibility of a Super Bowl being played outside of the United States, and it sounded like a possibility. “We’ve always traditionally tried to play a Super Bowl in an NFL city — that was always sort of a reward for the cities that have NFL franchises,” Goodell said, via the Associated Press. “But things change. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that happens one...

President Biden reportedly instructed his National Security Council to make clear to Iran that any attempt on former President Trump’s life would be viewed as an act of war. The stark warning comes as the Trump team has been briefed on specific attempts on Trump’s life, and they’ve made an unusual request for military aircraft in the waning days of the campaign. The U.S. has gone to unprecedented lengths to protect the former president from retaliation from Iran for the 2020 killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Some $150 million a year has gone to protecting officials like former Secretary of...
