Kamala Harris, the 2.0 version, is self-assured, unflappable and funny. (To the hecklers at one of her recent rallies in Wisconsin: “Oh — you guys are at the wrong rally. No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”) But being smart and compelling may not be enough in the scary closing days of this race. She can’t win against Trump just by having a successful record as a prosecutor and lawmaker and creative ideas about how to increase housing supply, support entrepreneurs starting businesses and help people buy their first home. And that’s maddening....

Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live as Fox News anchor Bret Baier during the show’s cold open, which spoofed the testy interview with Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph). “When I interviewed President Trump, my first question was, what do you think is the most important issue facing our nation? So my first question for you is, give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country?” Baier asks the vice president. However, as Harris attempts to answer, the Special Report with Bret Baier host continues to interrupt her, similar to his real interview with the vice president...

by Elizabeth NicksonA Big Store, Pig in a Poke, with a Pidgeon Drop and a Kansas City Shuffle This is what happened in 2020 and 2022. It was classic criminality, cons run for a thousand years brought out and fluffed for a digital audience. Do you remember the shining faces of RINOs on broadcast TV after the 2022 elections? Lindsay Graham was practically ululating with glee. But did they not look relieved? Their grins are wide, their auras shimmering with greed and power. They are back in command. And damned happy about it too. Did we really think that the...

Former President Donald Trump is returning to Las Vegas next week for a rally at Thomas & Mack Center, organizers announced Thursday. Trump is set to be the keynote speaker for “The United for Change Rally” hosted by Turning Point PAC and Turning Point Action starting at 4 p.m. on Oct. 24. The event is partly designed to recruit volunteers in harmony with local and statewide Republican groups, organizers said. Surrogates scheduled to speak include former Democratic U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard — who has since endorsed Trump — and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, organizers said. Tickets can be...

Lancaster is no stranger to the disastrous policies of the Harris-Biden administration. Pennsylvanians are paying an extra almost $1,000 per month for the same basket of goods due to Kamala’s inflation crisis, and real wages have declined as Americans’ total credit card debt breaks new records. Gas and diesel prices remain at historic highs thanks to the Harris-Biden administration’s crackdown on American energy and Pennsylvania fracking. A Trump-Vance administration will pick up where the first Trump administration left off to fuel an American revival of strong job growth, low inflation, and prosperity for everyday Pennsylvanians. President Trump will unleash Pennsylvania...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if elected, Vice President Kamala Harris will be persuadable on the U.S. support for Israel in the war. Host Jake Tapper said, “We know the election is going to be very, very close. Michigan has a large Arab-American and Muslim-American population that traditionally votes Democrat. But there’s a lot of concern among Democrats that a lot of those voters are either going to go third party or not going to vote at all in protest of the Biden-Harris support for Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. What do...

That's around the corner from my Daughter's house. Military, Secret service there.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Republicans will win the White House, Senate and House in the upcoming election. Johnson said, “The headline that I read about the rally in Pennsylvania yesterday was the big question, and it’s the one that Kamala Harris has not been able or willing to answer, and that is, are you better off now than you were under the Trump administration four years ago. No one can answer that question with a yes.” He added, “I mean, no one, and that’s why Kamala Harris herself avoids the...

One in three Britons are afraid to give women CPR because they are worried about touching their breasts, a study reveals. The same proportion of men (33 per cent) also fear being accused of 'inappropriate' touching when giving women chest compressions. However, just 13 per cent of women have the same reservations, according to the survey of 1,000 UK adults for St John Ambulance. The first aid charity warned the sexual taboo is putting women at greater risk of dying from cardiac arrest and stressed: 'When it comes to CPR, every body is the same.' ... {skipping to end of...

From Our Special Correspondent. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Thursday night, Oct. 13, 1864. THE FORREST RAID. The cavalry portion of the pursuers of FORREST have just arrived, and, as I speak from experience, having witnessed the whole affair, from beginning to end, candor compels me to say that it was the most inglorious pursuit I have ever had to chronicle. In my last letter, I gave you the complete history of FORREST's doings from the time he first crossed the river, up to when he tricked us so cleverly upon the 2d of October. If you recollect, after leading ROUSSEAU astray, and...

She maintains that Trump is dangerous and angry, but that’s her all over. She has taken to describing Trump as unstable. This seems to be classic projection as it coincides with her unhinged deportment as her campaign lurches into desperation.

Here in New York we have our own unique and special acronym for how we think we are going to make our future emissions-free electrical grid work with predominantly wind and solar generation. The acronym is DEFR — the “Dispatchable Emissions-Free Resource.” When the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing in the dead of winter, we will crank up the DEFR to keep us all warm and cozy. There will of course be zero carbon emissions, because by definition the DEFR is “emissions-free.” Unfortunately nobody is quite sure what this DEFR might be. There are only a few...

Some 200,000 mail carriers have reached a tentative contract deal with the U.S. Postal Service that includes backdated pay raises and a promise to provide workers with air-conditioned trucks. The new agreement, which still needs to be ratified by union members, runs through November 2026. Letter carriers have been working without a new contract since their old one expired in May 2023. Since then they have continued working under the terms of the old contract. Both the union and the Postal Service welcomed the agreement, which was announced Friday. ...

Pittsburgh Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten announced former President Donald Trump will attend Sunday’s game against the New York Jets as a “guest.” In a post on X, Lauten released a statement that Trump would be attending the game “as a guest of an individual suite holder,” and advised fans to “arrive early” so that they would be able to enjoy the team’s “pregame experience” and the game.

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Sirius XM that his rally at Madison Square Garden next weekend sold out in mere hours. Trump joined Breitbart News Washinton Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle for a 25-minute-long special report interview Saturday. When asked what Americans can expect at Sunday’s rally in the Big Apple, Trump emphasized that it will be a sold-out event.

It is early Sunday morning, here in The Piney Woods of East Texas. The birds are calling out to one another to greet the cool of the new day. Another beginning of a day of life here at my home, where lack of rainfall has turned the landscape straw-yellow and crisp, and the trees from the stress of drought and the relentless high summer temperatures have caused the oaks and ash trees to begin shedding their leaves. Burn bans are in place, but I know God is Faithful. Rain is coming to the thirsty land. He answers prayer. Today I...

The state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris Administration due to its refusal to assist multiple states with efforts to purge illegal aliens from the voter rolls ahead of the 2024 election. As reported by Fox News, Florida’s lawsuit states that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has an obligation to help verify the immigration status of anyone who is registered to vote. “Because the federal government is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida’s ability to maintain the integrity of its elections, Florida files this suit,” the lawsuit declares. The state added that it...

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both failed to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after an Iranian-backed assassination attempt by Hezbollah on Saturday when a drone hit his private residence. As Breitbart News reported, Hezbollah launched three drones at Israel. Two were downed, but a third reached the personal home of Netanyahu and his wife. They were not home at the time and there were no injuries as a result.
