During an interview with CNN’s “AC360,” on Thursday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) responded to a question on if he thinks 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris is different from President Joe Biden by stating that “this is a clear choice between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, not Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.” Host Anderson Cooper asked, “Vice President Harris has been asked in two large venues, most notably last night on Fox, how she would be different, essentially, than President Biden. She said last night that she’s Kamala Harris and that she would not be just an...

Full comedy video Kamala Harris put together for the Al Smith dinner

Kamala Harris bused in "supporters" to a rally in what looked like an obvious effort to make her campaign look bigger than it is. Women dressed in "Handmaid's Tale" garb picketed in front of U.S. Supreme Court Justices' homes to pressure justices into changing their minds, insurrection-style, after the Dobbs draft decision was leaked. Democrat operatives sent agents provocateurs to Trump rallies to try and start fights while in line and disrupt his speeches in 2016. In 2008, at a Hillary Clinton speech, a couple of guys heck Who are these people? Don't these people have jobs to go to?...

The panic on the left is international. U.K. Labour, which is collapsing before our eyes a mere few months after winning a massive majority in the Parliament, is engaging in a massive election interference program here in the United States. When Russia spent a few hundred thousand dollars on grossly ineffective ads aimed at stirring up trouble in 2016, the world went wild. The ruling party of the United Kingdom is literally sending foreign agents to the United States to help the Kamala Harris campaign. So far nobody is making a stink about it. Why on Earth is @UKLabour proactively...

If true, then the 2024 election cycle could shift from merely forgettable for Democrats to downright catastrophic. They have based their electoral strategy on decades of near-total domination of the black-voter demographic to maintain their grip on power. While that applies to municipal elections in big cities, it applies even more to presidential elections. Four years ago, Democrats leveraged that into a stunning win in Georgia, normally a safe state for Republicans in presidential cycles. Joe Biden eked out a narrow 0.3-point margin of victory created mainly by a massive turnout of black voters against Donald Trump, winning 83% of...

A new Fox News poll on immigration shows something surprising; two-thirds of voters favor mass deportation of illegal aliens. The surprising part? That the percentage is that low.At rallies across the country, former President Donald Trump has pledged to enact mass deportations of illegal immigrants, something he vowed to do during his first term but never fully realized.The latest Fox News Poll, released Thursday, finds two-thirds of voters favor such a policy – exactly where it was last December and up 15 points since the question was first asked in 2015. Nearly one-third opposes mass deportations.Since 2015, support for deporting...

On Wednesday night, as Townhall has been covering, Vice President Kamala Harris had her interview with Fox News' Bret Baier. It ended up being a disaster for her and her campaign, with Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the Republican nominee for vice president, certainly having some thoughts about how Harris performed. Harris bombed so badly that immediately after, Vance quipped over X that Democrats "should consider swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden." To my Democratic friends: maybe you should consider swapping Kamala Harris for Joe Biden. — JD Vance (@JDVance) October 16, 2024 Vance also spoke to "Fox & Friends," where...

A terrified organ donor came back to life, thrashing and crying on the operating room table, as surgeons prepared to harvest his body parts, according to witnesses - with one described as 'everybody's worst nightmare.' Thomas 'TJ' Hoover II, 36, had been declared brain dead when surgeons went to remove his organs at Baptist Health Richmond Hospital in Kentucky in October 2021, his sister and former Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates employees told NPR. But as doctors went to test his heart health for transplantation, Hoover reportedly became reanimated. 'He was thrashing around on the table,' Nyckoletta Martin recounted, claiming the...

Border patrol agents are threatening to leave the critical federal agency in droves if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November — with multiple agents telling The Post that they can’t face four more years of being undermined and scapegoated, the New York Post is reporting. ‘I’m not doing this s–t again … four years of hell,’ said one agent, who is nowhere near retirement. Another agent said: ‘Lots of guys who can retire will go. If Trump wins, they’ll stay.’ The Border Patrol has suffered massive turnover and plummeting morale under the Biden-Harris administration, insiders say. The Democrat party...

A word-wrestling confrontation that marked the end of Bret Baier’s Fox News interview with Kamala Harris was cut short by her staff, Baier said after the interview. Baier was pressing Harris about her position on the Middle East as he indicated he was being told that the interview had reached its end. “They’re giving me a hard wrap here,” Baier said at the end of the testy exchange with Harris, ... “I’m talking to like four people, waving their hands like, ‘It’s gotta stop!” Baier said ... “I had to dismount there, at the end,” he said. ... The ending...

Kamala Harris sat for an interview by Bret Baier for Special Report on Fox News yesterday. I have posted the video below. Baier was, well, loaded for bear. I thought he did an excellent job within the time allowed. I have just a few thoughts and observations. This was Harris’s first interview on Fox News. I take it that her appearance in this venue is a sign that her campaign is not going altogether swimmingly. The interview was something of a calculated risk. Harris’s handlers have heretofore kept her from close encounters of the Fox News kind. They know she...

One of the people Vice President Kamala Harris might want to thank in her victory speech, if she wins the election, is Fox News anchor Bret Baier. His combative interview Wednesday gave Harris the chance to display qualities — and present facts — that Donald Trump desperately wants to keep hidden from the network’s millions of viewers.Don’t take it from me; take it from Baier himself. He said afterward that he thought Harris came to the interview seeking “a viral moment” and added: “I think she may have gotten that.”Baier was surely referring to the exchange about Trump’s repeated threat...

Warning: graphic content An Israeli drone captured Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s last minutes alive — as the Oct. 7 mastermind swung a piece of wood in a futile attempt to take out the device before he was killed, officials said. Shocking footage shows the moment a drone is deployed to check a building in Rafah that a group of IDF soldiers hit on Thursday. An injured Sinwar, who had his face covered, could be seen sitting alone on a coach in the destroyed building, with the IDF soldiers unaware that they were seeing the very man they had been hunting...

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris should hold more town hall meetings to interact with voters. Host Jake Tapper said, “Do you think that she should be doing more rallies? I covered Obama in 2008, as you might remember, I would often interview you when I was covering that campaign and at this point, she’s doing two rallies today. But generally speaking, comparing her rally schedule in October to his rallies schedule in October 2008 he did more. Now, maybe we’re in a new era, maybe 2024 you...

I could tell within 30 seconds that the Harris-Walz campaign was going to regret having Kamala do an interview on Fox News. Frankly, based on what we know now, they were clearly regretting the decision before the interview started. As we reported last night, Bret Baier revealed that the Harris campaign conspicuously showed up late for the interview and then desperately tried to end it early. Naturally, Harris allies in the media have been trying hard to spin the interview as a positive for her, but the real reason you can tell that Kamala's supporters know the interview was a...

The new Italian law restricting overseas travel for surrogacy services goes further than other countries, but same-sex couples face family planning hurdles across Europe. A new law that bans Italians from travelling abroad for surrogate pregnancies is expected to make it harder for LGBTQ people to become parents – but Italy is far from the only country where family planning is a challenge for same-sex couples. Italy’s restrictive approach to surrogacy isn’t new – or unique. Many European countries ban surrogacy outright, while others have strict rules about citizenship, payment, and relationship status. Those rules have prompted some couples to...

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman believes the current polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris sliding against former President Donald Trump are “underestimating Democratic voting strength.” During a Wednesday YouTube livestream, the American University professor, who has predicted Harris would beat Trump in November, suggested that reports of Democrats pulling ahead in mail-in voting in certain states bode well for them. However, Democrats already made up the majority of mail-in voters, and Republicans have reportedly increased their relative shares in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. “The polls in 2016 underestimated Republican voting strength,” Lichtman said. “It’s my view based on what...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Gregory offers tough advice on the Catholic Dilemma this US electionWith less than twenty days to go before the United States presidential election, the cardinal archbishop of Washington, DC, has acknowledged the difficulties Catholics face in deciding how to vote – but reiterates that choose they must. Speaking to Crux while in Rome for this month’s Synod of Bishops on Synodality, Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington stressed the importance of having a broad understanding of key national challenges and urged Catholics not to be single-issue voters on 5 November. “No political party and certainly no individual candidate...

Two men have gone head to head in a medieval-style duel with 'machetes' on a busy London High Street. Distressed onlookers can be heard crying 'don't do it - please!' as the masked opponents participate in an East Ham show-down with their long weapons. When contacted by MailOnline, the Met Police said no arrests had been as the men were not located - meaning they are still on the loose. The incident took place on Monday October 14 and police were called to the scene at around 1pm. Footage of the duel has circulated on social media with many observing...
