Political campaigns all too often come down to one memorable moment: Nixon’s debate with JFK, Reagan asking if Americans are better off today than four years ago, Bush promising “no new taxes,” or Trump descending a golden escalator. Two rallies — and three events — over the last week presented a series of revelatory moments that should burn themselves into Christians’ minds, culminating with the way two of the most important figures in the election responded to the phrase, “Jesus is Lord.”

We mostly spend our time on the internet confined to little echo chambers determined by algorithms that are designed to keep us plugged into the Matrix. In my little corner of the worldwide web, I often see posts like this: =========================================================== The Trump Train 🚂🇺🇸 @The_Trump_Train · Follow Is Kamala Harris under the influence in Grand Rapids, Michigan right now?? ============================================================== Well, I decided to get out of my internet bubble today and actually attend the Kamala rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as a casual observer. No, I didn't wear any MAGA merch or go on this adventure to own...

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing possible “serious danger” in Nevada as Republicans have opened what amounts to an unprecedented-in-modern-times lead in early voting over Democrats. Jon Ralston of the Nevada Independent, reporting on the early vote numbers showing a GOP lead, flashed the warning to Democrats late Monday evening out west. Ralston noted that since the rise of the political machine that the late former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid built for Democrats this has never happened. “Republicans lead statewide in Nevada after three days of early voting and mail ballot counting,” Ralston wrote in a blog post on...

The scene was insane! I never thought I'd see so many people show up to see President Trump and he didn't even speak. I attended the Donald Trump rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he worked at McDonald's for a short shift.

Friday, The First National Bank of Lindsay was closed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) appointed as receiver. The OCC acted after identifying false and deceptive bank records and other information suggesting fraud that revealed depletion of the bank’s capital. The OCC also found that the bank was in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business and that the bank’s assets were less than its obligations to its creditors and others.

President Donald Trump says he’s running to restore the American Dream by cutting migration, but the Washington Post says young Americans should resign themselves to small houses in a nation packed with millions of government-imported renters and buyers.“The new American Dream should be a townhouse,” two Washington Post journalists declared in the headline of their October 21 op-ed, adding:The American Dream is fundamental to what it means to be American. Keeping that dream alive for millennials, Gen Z and beyond requires right-sizing it by building more apartments, condos, duplexes and, especially, townhouses.“In an age of tight money and its Toyota...

The headline says it all, and it's one of those questions where "If you have to ask the question, you won't understand the answers." But that doesn't stop The Times! They come up with five possible explanations, and to nobody's surprise, they get it wrong. Let's take a look! In 2016, Donald J. Trump became the Republican nominee and ultimately won the presidency after calling many Mexican immigrants rapists and falsely claiming that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Eight years later, the polls suggest that he might well return to the White House by faring better...

Here in SW Pa, Bob Casey(D) (current Senator we hope to oust with Dave McCormick(R) . . ) posted an ad. that used a couple of things he voted for with President Trump.I don't know if he has or not, but he has generally been a (D) rubber stamp his entire senatorial life.

VideoInterviewVideo Here: Danica Patrick reveals she’s voting for the first time, and it’s not for Kamala Harris

Two impeachments, 88 felony counts (with guilty verdicts on 34 of them), a massive fine, two assassination attempts, unrelentingly hostile media coverage, a last-minute candidate switcheroo, and Donald Trump is still showing signs that he will win the election in two weeks. So, what do Democrats still have up their sleeve to stop Trump? They must have something. Back in May, we asked what the Democrats’ Plan B was if their lawfare campaign against Trump failed, and offered five options – four of which have come to pass. Here is what we said then. Dump Biden … We’ve long suspected...

Jim Messina, who served as a White House adviser to former President Obama, said he is concerned about what will happen after Election Day, alleging former President Trump is “going to try to steal” the election. “Everyone’s talking about Nov. 5 and who’s going to win on Election Day. My worry is the day after,” Messina said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki.” Messina argued Trump has shown what he will do after the election by filing various lawsuits in battleground states that target early voting and voter rolls. ...

On Monday, Kamala Harris held a "town hall" with Liz Cheney. Things started badly after moderator Maria Shriver came out and told the audience that all questions were "pre-determined." But while my initial write-up of the event focused on the broader strokes of how stupid it was for the Harris campaign to embrace Cheney, the vice president's failures extended past discussions of political strategy. For example, Harris has a strange penchant for cracking herself up, and one moment caught the eye of the Trump campaign. https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1848529566467547240? Let me explain what's happening there. Harris has "theater kid syndrome." Because she's such...

An alleged victim of Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs has filed a lawsuit claiming that the rapper raped her when she was 13 years old while a male and female celebrity pair watched and joined in. Variety reports that the case, being handled by Buzbee Law Firm, proclaims that the woman was drugged and sexually assaulted at an after party for the MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, 2000. The woman has said she was attempting to get into the awards but didn’t have a ticket so approached limousine drivers after the event try to catch on to an afterparty....

Kamala Harris graduated from Howard University without honors. Harris then applied to law school. She was admitted to Hastings School of Law at the University of California. Hastings is considered a good law school but not “elite." It ranks 80th of America’s ABA schools. Admission isn't a "breeze" but it is pretty easy to be accepted for an honors student, with a solid LSAT. Of the total applicants to Hastings, about half are accepted and around a third of that number actually enroll. That means Hasting is a “backup” law school for a lot of the applicants. She wasn't an...

President Javier Milei’s government announced on Monday that Argentina’s federal tax agency, AFIP by its Spanish initials, will be dissolved and replaced with a new agency in accordance with its mandate to “reduce inefficient structures.” According to Presidential Spokesman Manuel Adorni, 34% of public service jobs within the AFIP will be eliminated. As of Monday evening, no details had been released regarding the new agency’s operations or what the move means in concrete terms for the country’s fiscal infrastructure. “AFIP will cease to exist. In its place, the Collection and Customs Control Agency will be created with a simplified structure,”...

The former CEO of fashion giant Abercrombie & Fitch and his British partner have been arrested and are facing sex trafficking charges, the BBC understands. Mike Jeffries, his partner Matthew Smith and the couple’s alleged middle-man were arrested on Tuesday morning. The FBI and prosecutor's office are expected to announce more details at a press conference shortly. Lawyers for Mr Jeffries and Mr Smith have been approached for comment. They have previously "vehemently denied" any wrongdoing by both men. The FBI opened an investigation last year after the BBC revealed claims that Mike Jeffries and his partner sexually exploited and...

More stolen Valor from Tim Walz. After listening to Tim Walz brag about how he is such a skilled shooter, I decided to look if he was an Expert Marksman in the military. It turns out he doesn't even have a marksmanship badge at all or authorized to wear one, but wore one on his Class A uniform anyway. In the Army or National Guard soldiers are required to qualify with their M-4 rifle or M-16. The qualification course is made up of 40 targets ranging from 50 meters-300 meters popping up randomly. You are given 2- 20 rd magazines...
