The establishment media immediately tried to reframe and explain away President Joe Biden’s labeling of Trump supporters “garbage.” “There’s no way to spin it: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t just hate President Trump, they despise the tens of millions of Americans who support him. Kamala does not deserve four more years,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign national spokesperson, said Tuesday. Biden was speaking on an evening call on Tuesday to rally Latino voters when he brought up a Trump rally speaker’s racist insult of Puerto Rico over the weekend. The media, however, tried to spin it. “Trump and His Allies...

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation. An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee. The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail. According...

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. The former Republican governor of California shared his shock endorsement on X Wednesday. 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,' the actor wrote. Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward,' and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.' 'We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that...

A local journalist in Iran publicly criticized Russia on Monday for failing to provide promised defense systems, leaving Iran vulnerable during recent Israeli attacks. According to Iran International, reporter Ali-Akbar Saadati from Kar va Kargar directly questioned the Iranian government on a daily basis on Russia’s unfulfilled commitments to supply S-400 anti-aircraft systems and Su-35 fighters. “Whenever they faced difficulties in Ukraine, suffered misfortune, or got stuck in the quagmire of the Ukraine war, they came running to us, asking for drones, missiles, everything,” Saadati said, expressing frustration over Iran’s isolation during Israeli airstrikes. “On the night Israel attacked us,...

“Free Gaza” was found marked on incendiary devices used to burn ballot drop boxes in Washington state earlier this week, according to news reports, suggesting for the first time that the arson may have had a political motive.

Vice President Kamala Harris claimed on Wednesday that President Joe Biden clarified his statement that Trump supporters are “garbage” and disagreed with demonizing “people based on who they vote for.” “The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump] supporters,” Biden said Tuesday. Biden’s smear overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” Harris, along with Walz, tried to spin Biden’s statement when asked by the media. “Listen, I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments. But let me be clear, I strongly disagree with any...

I can't believe how many articles posted on Freeper are now pointing to Democrats cheating. The good news is that steps are being taken to counteract some of it. My question is why is it Democrats? Is there some cheating gene they have in their makeup that accounts for this bad behavior? Do they cheat with things other than elections? Are they cheating because they don't know right from wrong? Are they just bad people in general, or misguided to think that their high-minded progressive ends justify any means? If you met one on the street, would they try to...

The media world is in a fury: the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times recently announced that they would not endorse a presidential candidate. Editors and columnists at both papers have resigned in protest; readers have cancelled their subscriptions en masse. Why the outrage? Because everyone knew that those papers would have endorsed Kamala Harris. Why the certainty? Because the papers’ coverage of Donald Trump has been so unrelentingly negative. (The decision not to endorse was made by the papers’ owners: Jeff Bezos, in the case of the Post, and medical entrepreneur Patrick Soon-Shiong, in the case of the Times.)...

And to show my gratitude to the FR management for giving us all a forum to post vanity threads like this, I'll...

President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Wednesday to give $19 million in grants to schools that serve Hispanic students. The University of Puerto Rico's Rio Piedras Campus received $5 million of the share, with four other schools across Florida, Illinois, and Texas sharing the rest. This money is part of the Education Department's Research and Development Infrastructure Grant Program, which has a fund of about $49 million to split among historically black, tribally controlled, and minority-serving colleges and universities. This latest allotment comes with less than a week until Election Day. Since Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris...

VIDEOSome of you are probably under the misconception that Pee Wee Herman died last year. Well, he is very much alive. After a brief period of hiding from the law for the crime of stealing Pinky Lee's act, Pee Wee Herman returned to the public eye under a new name as the Mayor of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Here you can see Pee Wee Herman's hilarious antics as he attempts to stop a Trump rally.

The remaining terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip had gathered in Jabalya, prompting the military to encircle the area. The IDF's military operation in Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip came as a surprise to the terrorists in the area, the military said on Monday. “The surprise for Hamas was complete. We trapped hundreds of terrorists inside the camp, including senior operatives," the IDF said, adding that the terror group had used the population as human shields for over a week and had shot at the legs of residents who attempted to escape. According to the IDF, the remaining terrorists...

A three-member appeals court rejected the GOP challenge to not process certain UOCAVA [Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ] or overseas votes that come into the state this year. Republicans argued that the current laws enable voters to forum shop where they want their vote to be counted despite never living in the state or even in the US. This is the latest ruling that breaks down the integrity of the US election. Democrats will cheer this news. The Hill reported: North Carolina appeals court on Tuesday rebuffed the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) request to not process certain...

Prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office are reportedly asking the judge overseeing Daniel Penny's trial to not let witnesses call the U.S. Marine Corps veteran a "good Samaritan" or a "hero" in court, as jury selection is underway. According to The Gothamist's reporting on an email exchange between prosecutors and Penny's defense attorneys, Assistant DA Dafna Yoran raised alarm over how witnesses could characterize the defendant after watching an interview Penny's counsel conducted on FOX 5 New York highlighting their client's heroic actions on the subway. “Danny doesn't have to be a hero," Penny's lawyer, Thomas Kenniff, told...

Last week, Barack Obama plaintively wailed at a rally for Kamala Harris, “I don’t understand how we got so toxic and just divided.” Who was this mystery culprit who injected so much hate into the national discourse? We must track down the man who did this to us! I wanted to hand him a mirror. Obama spent eight years in office tearing up American race relations, which we stupidly assumed had been solved when citizens of every race voted for him as president. But no: that was the start of a long national backslide — thanks to Obama himself. As...

The Trump-Vance campaign has filed a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pennsylvania, accusing county election officials of obstructing GOP voters from participating in on-demand mail-in voting. According to PA’s website, on-demand mail-in voting is a process that allows registered voters to request, receive, vote, and submit their mail-in or absentee ballot all in one visit to their county election office or other designated location. In Bucks County, Trump narrowly lost by less than one percentage point in 2016 and by approximately 5% in 2020. In July, Scott Presler was able to flip the county to Republican. Now, the Democrats are doing...

A shocking scene reportedly unfolded at a satellite election office in South Park Ice Rink in Bethel Park, PA, where early voters, who had been waiting for hours, witnessed ‘vanloads’ of ‘non-English-speaking citizens’ allegedly escorted to the front by “translators” to cast their ballots. According to X user Emma Cawwod, at least “three buses” arrived, with individuals being guided in by representatives from “Vote Today PA,” a vote mobilization group funded by the progressive organization Working Families Power, which advocates for causes like “economic fairness, racial justice, gender equity, climate sustainability.” Some of these individuals were seen wearing hooded sweatshirts...

President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear does not undercut the Vice President Kamala Harris message of “unity,”‘ Gov. Tim Walz (D) indicated Wednesday. Biden’s smear on Tuesday overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” The pledge came just days after she called former President Donald Trump a “fascist.” “I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign,” asked CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil about Democrats long list of demonizing Trump supporters. “No, certainly not,” Walz replied:

... Thousands of Pennsylvania voters received a text message this weekend that falsely claimed that they had already voted in the Nov. 5 election. ... Charlotte Clymer, a contracted spokesperson for AllVote, sent The Inquirer an apologetic statement, describing the texts as a well-intended reminder-turned-disastrous mistake, thanks to a typo committed by staffers. ...
