Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false. 60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) issued a seemingly triggered response to former President Donald Trump working at a Philadelphia McDonald’s on Sunday. Walz, the vice presidential running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, responded to a video of Trump wearing an apron at McDonald’s and learning how to make french fries. In his post on X, Walz referenced Harris’s unproven claim that she had previously worked at a McDonald’s. “This guy spent decades stiffing workers pay, cut overtime benefits for millions of people, and opposed any effort to raise the minimum wage,” Walz wrote in his post.

Cuba's electrical grid collapsed again on Sunday, the fourth such failure in 48 hours as a looming hurricane threatened to wreak further havoc on the island's decrepit infrastructure. Cuba earlier on Sunday had said it was making headway restoring service after multiple false starts, though millions of people remained without electricity more than two days after the grid's initial collapse. "Restoration work began immediately," the country's energy and mines ministry said on X. The clock was ticking as Hurricane Oscar bore down on the Caribbean island on Sunday, bringing strong winds and rain to northeastern Cuba and threatening to further...

Jewish support for the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee is on track to be the lowest since the Ronald Reagan era — while the number of those backing Donald Trump is on the rise, according to a new poll from the Manhattan Institute. If the election were held today, Kamala Harris would win the support of just 67% of Jewish voters, while former President Trump would take 31% of Jewish votes, the survey found. More than four out of five described themselves as “enthusiastic” about their choice. Jews are among the most reliable Democratic constituencies in America. Jewish support for Democrats...

Some amazing huge mostly government funded fireworks.

President Trump has a new gig: He is now the only candidate to have worked at McDonald’s. Trump is indefatigable, yet the media spent a week saying he is very tired. The information allegedly came from an anonymous staffer. Kamala and Walz are having a tough time working, going from rally to rally. They’re very fatigued. Will the media talk about this for a week? Walz admits he and Kamala are suffering from intense exhaustion: "We're fatigued. We're fatigued." (see video from X inside article).

Lithium Powered Emergency Vehicle Burns Down Fire Station by Steve MacDonald October 19, 2024 First, and more importantly, no one was injured after a fire in a fire station destroyed over 20 million Euros worth of equipment, including a dozen vehicles. The cause is known—lithium batteries connected to a charger. AN EV emergency vehicle on charge achieved thermal runaway and took out an entire fire station. Did I mention that no one was injured in the fire? There has been no word on the emissions released as a result of the incident. As you know, we are keenly interested in...

MSNBC host Alex Witt and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) criticized former President Donald Trump for his visit to a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s where he served customers, stating that there was “no logic to it.” “He has gone to a McDonald’s,” Witt said. “He’s going to this McDonald’s, and he’s in the Philadelphia area. He’s going to work a fryer, apparently, before he goes to the Steelers versus Jets game. If you’re on his campaign, and I know you are certainly not, I’m not making any implication of that. But, what is the logic behind this — going to a McDonald’s?”

Vice President Kamala Harris would not support an expansion of fossil fuel drilling despite her recent campaign boasts about domestic oil production under the Biden administration. "Just to be clear, Vice President Harris hasn’t said anything that the administration hasn’t already said. She is not promoting expansion [of fossil fuel drilling]. She’s just said that they wouldn’t ban fracking," Camila Thorndike, Harris’ climate engagement director, said in an interview with Politico. The comments come as Harris has continued to face questions about her stance on energy production, going from supporting a ban on fracking just five years ago to touting...

The Military spokesperson says Israel will reveal how Iran funds Hezbollah and its terror activities; IDF planes strike banks in Beirut's Dahieh and elsewhere around the country.

Vice President Kamala Harris touted an immigration bill from 2021 as evidence that she and President Biden worked to strengthen U.S. immigration policies ahead of the migrant crisis that has rocked the U.S. in the last three and a half years. A review of the bill, however, shows it would have paved the way to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants. "At the beginning of our administration, within practically hours of taking the oath, the first bill that we offered Congress – before we worked on infrastructure, before the Inflation Reduction Act, before the Chips and Science Act, before the...

National Public Radio’s public editor said she was “really uncomfortable” with large tech companies “censoring” The Post’s reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop — but gave her own outlet a free pass for declining to cover the story. Kelly McBride, who has been NPR’s ombudsman since 2020, told The Wrap that tech firms such as X and Facebook were wrong to prevent users from sharing links to The Post’s revelations about the laptop, whose hard drive included emails linking the Biden family to a Ukrainian businessman. “I was really uncomfortable with the tech companies censoring it,” McBride said. “Who are...
