The “world’s most accurate economist” is predicting Donald Trump will win the presidency and that Republicans are likely to take full control of Congress on Nov. 5. Christophe Barraud, the chief economist and strategist at Market Securities Monaco, also says a Trump win could boost the economy short-term but pose longer-term complications, particularly with the soaring deficit. “Looking at different metrics such as betting markets, polls, election modelers’ forecasts, financial markets, as of now, the most probable outcomes are: [1] #Trump victory [2] #GOP clean sweep,” Barraud wrote on X.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday reacted to former President Donald Trump calling her a “s---” vice president, telling the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC that “the American people deserve so much better.” She went on to talk about the importance of the president setting a standard not only nationally, but internationally — saying Trump’s behavior “demeans the office.”

The Washington Post quickly removed a cartoon of a Hamas terrorist following backlash from some readers branding it 'racist.' The political cartoon, titled 'Human Shields', depicted a large-nosed Hamas extremist with infants, children and women tied to him, as he questioned: 'How dare Israel attack civilians...'

Since President Trump left office, many of the “trustworthy” media outlets have created a talking point that is now held by a minority, yet noticeable number of Conservative Americans. The belief is “DeSantis is Trump, without the baggage.” If DeSantis chooses to run for president, whether that is in the next election or sometime down the road, his opponents (from both parties) and leftist media will have no shortage of ammunition to create baggage specific to him. 1) As Governor of Florida, DeSantis image as a protector of school children and being “anti-groomer” has gone unchallenged. His press secretary Christina...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s incorrect number on pediatric COVID cases in hospitals was “not accurate.” However, Hostin said she was “correct” that there are more children in hospitals with COVID. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor got a couple of her statistics wrong.”

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Steele’s dossier that he does not regret publicly advancing the claims in the infamous dossier by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Anchor Chuck Todd said, “I want to ask you about the Steele dossier because it’s been in the news for a lot of reasons, including questions about its validity. I want to play around that you had on the steel dossier over the years. take a listen.”

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but,...

Things are shaping up nicely for the Trump reelection campaign. The Trafalgar Group shows President Trump up in Michigan: Conversation Real Election Analysis @AirBossUT5 You know I don't do "polls," but for the record, @trafalgar_group is probably the GOLD STANDARD in polling the rust belt.

PUTIN (THROUGH INTERPRETER): Your excellency Mr. President, your excellency Mr. Secretary General, distinguished heads of state and government, ladies and gentlemen, the 70th anniversary of the United Nations is a good occasion to both take stock of history and talk about our common future. In 1945, the countries that defeated Nazism joined their efforts to lay solid foundations for the postwar world order. But I remind you that the key decisions on the principles guiding the cooperation among states, as well as on the establishment of the United Nations, were made in our country, in Yalta, at the meeting of...

Monday on MSNBC’s “Hardball With Chris Matthews,” President Obama said the many Democrats against the Trans-Pacific Partnership fast track are “making political arguments that aren’t always entirely accurate,” like “the other side.” Obama said, “This is better than the Colombian free trade agreement, better than the Panama free trade agreement, and the Korea free trade agreement that we just passed a couple years ago. So, some of this has to do with, I think, people’s legitimate fears and concerns. Some of it has to do with politics. You know, Democrats aren’t adverse to

When Rudy Giuliani accused President Obama of not loving America, was he expressing a form of racism? If not, what was Giuliani saying? I have argued, controversially to some on the left, that it is important to grapple with ideas on their own terms before merely analyzing their motivations. American conservatism is historically intertwined with white racism in such a way that nearly any conservative idea could plausibly be understood as an appeal to racism, but most of those ideas can be expressed and justified in non-racial terms, and deserve to be taken at face value. The trouble with Giuliani’s...

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann joined Glenn Beck on Thursday to share her impressions of GBTV’s groundbreaking documentary, “Rumors of War III,” which exposes how the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating the upper echelons of America’s government. Bachmann, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, confirmed that “every single word was accurate” and “absolutely profound.” “It was spellbinding.” (Related: Want to Know Just how Close the Muslim Brotherhood Is to the Obama Admin?) While the findings of the documentary will shake many citizens’ faith in government, the former GOP presidential candidate asked listeners not to lose heart and promised that there are members...

Though versatile, compact, and reliable, the Thompson/Center Encore is not a gun one would instinctively associate with state-of-the-art technology or truly exceptional accuracy. Well get ready for a paradigm shift. Richard VanH's 6BR Encore raises the accuracy bar for break-open rifles. This rig may be plain on the outside, but it's seriously tricked out on the inside. Richard's Encore features a chamber exactly matched to his loaded ammo--a chamber cut with an electrical spark, not a conventional reamer. With a precisely-machined lug and oversized hinge-pin, lock-up is ultra-tight. Encore/Contender guru Mike Bellm (who knows as much about Encores as anyone...

Ethnic studies — a relatively new field — could be harmed by the plagiarized passages and made-up facts discovered in University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill's work, a panel found. But scholars of ethnic studies, and those who have been closely watching the investigation, have varying opinions on whether there will be a "Churchill effect" on the field. The stinging report that became public last week rejected Churchill's assertion that there are different research standards for ethnic studies scholars. Panel members also found that the tenured professor strayed from the "bedrock principles" of scholarship. The five-member investigative panel arrived at...

Interesting irony on Larry King last night. First King interviewed Woodward & Bernstein, the two men responsible for breaking one of the biggest stories of the century with the help of an anonymous source we now know was the number two man at the FBI. In the next hour King interviewed Dan Rather, the man responsible (at least in part) for one of the bigger journalistic bungles in the modern era, rushing to air a story based on forged documents from very dubious sources to try and influence the outcome of a presidential election. It's clear that Rather is still...
