Former President Barack Obama is urging black men to support Kamala Harris, suggesting that our allegiance should be based on the color of her skin and the chance to “make history.” But I have a simple response to that: my ancestors fought too hard for my right to vote for me to be reduced to a racial checkbox in a political game. I won’t support someone just because they look remotely like me—especially when that person has shown no regard for the real issues facing black communities.Kamala Harris’s record speaks for itself. She hasn’t made a significant impact on improving...

At this time, an estimated 50 to 150 people or more are actively looting and breaking into a cargo train on the west side of Chicago, Illinois. Police have been dispatched to the scene to address the ongoing incident, with reports of individuals stealing boxes of items, possibly including TVs, from the train's containers. Witnesses describe the situation as chaotic, with looters working quickly to empty the cargo. This is still a developing story. VIDEO AT LINK......................

The Justice Department on Friday announced it is suing the state of Virginia for removing non-citizens from its voter rolls.“The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia, Virginia State Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections to challenge a systematic state program aimed at removing voters from its election rolls too close to the Nov. 5 general election in violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA),” the DOJ announced.

Politico managed to make itself the butt of a really bad joke when it made a desperate attempt to prop up Vice President Kamala Harris by selling Bidenomics as the best thing since sliced bread before the November election. Politico’s tone-deaf Oct. 10 headline of its asinine story spoke for itself, and simultaneously condescended to its readers: “Harris is riding a dream economy into the election. It may be too late for voters to notice.” Ah, another media diatribe about how struggling Americans are just too stupid to see how star-spangled awesome the Biden-Harris economy is, eh Politico? The dense...

I just watched Mr. Jones last night. I knew about Walter Duranty lying in the New York Times about Stalin's mass starvation of the Kulaks in Ukraine (Holodomor) and the Pulitzer prize the NYT received for his false reporting, but no real details. Mr. Jones is an excellent but disturbing movie. Nothing has changed in the intervening eighty years. The NYT is just as sleazy as it ever was, and the elite (represented by Mr. Duranty) every bit as debauched and evil as they ever were. And, frighteningly enough for me, I see parallels in what was done to the...

President Donald Trump has temporarily retired his golf clubs, and will not be playing the sport again until after the election, according to sources close to the Trump campaign. The decision follows the second assassination attempt on his life at his Florida golf course in Sept. After that, federal agents told the 2024 GOP nominee that they couldn't ensure his safety to a degree they were comfortable with if he continued to play the game, NBC News reported. Trump was briefed by federal law enforcement agents in two separate meetings to address safety concerns. Both Ronald Rowe, the acting director...

The government of Oregon has left Trump off of it its online voter guide.Here’s a closeup screenshot of the relevant part:And here’s a screenshot that shows most of the page:And here’s the link to that website:https://oregonvotes.gov/voters-guide/english/votersguide.htmlIt’s funny how every “accident,” “glitch,” and “error” is always in favor of the Democrats and against the Republicans.There’s no way that this wasn’t done on purpose.This is election interference.

PITTSBURGH — Former President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail for Kamala Harris Thursday, reminding a group of Black males that election season is not the time to be thinking independently. "I know you feel like your brains are capable of making a wise and rational decision, but you need to take a moment and stop being all uppity," Obama said. "Y'all need to go into that voting booth like a bunch of good little brothas and mindlessly punch that ballot for anyone with a 'D' next to their name. That's your only job." "For four hundred years, the black...

It was bad enough that professional woke author Ta-Nehisi Coates chose to go all in on antisemitism and Islamic terrorism with his new book of essays ‘The Message’ (which I reviewed today), but Random House, an ex-Nazi corporation that publishes all of his screeds, chose to release it in time for the Oct 7 anniversary of the Hamas attacks. Coates had signed a letter after Oct 7 which claimed that, “after sixteen years of siege, Hamas militants broke out of Gaza.” CBS News then decided to schedule a featured morning interview with Coates to promote his hateful book which makes...

Could Republicans Gain another Senate Seat? Sorry for past week, had some things going on so I couldn't post. Anyway, it does appear, unsurprisingly to me at least, that polling is clearly indicating Trump with the momentum and clearly taking the lead, and starting to run away with this race. I will go into this in another article, but a more interesting thing is going on in PA, at least for me. I always expected the polls to start to adjust to reality, Kamala had a few months of hiding and finally had to start actually facing the press, and...

But nothing looks like anything the Fed wanted to see. The Fed’s financial plans are running off the rails already. With summer just gone by and the Fed’s first rate cut barely out of the station, already the bond vigilantes are pushing bond interest rates back up, and voting Fed members are already talking about stalling their future rate cuts—all due to inflation being back on the rise. The timing of inflation’s arrival is as I expected, but it is not at all what the Fed was hoping to see. Bond investors are referred to as “vigilantes” when they bring...

Despite polling momentum swinging towards former President Trump, political pundits believe that Kamala Harris can still win the election if she can just remain completely unseen and unheard until November 6th. "If they can just lock her in the basement with Joe, she has a shot," said NBC analyst Chuck Todd. "Kamala's favorability depends on people losing all memory of her voice, face, actions, and anything related to her in any way." With the race a statistical tie last week, Democrat strategists made the bold decision to have Kamala attempt talking to actual humans. "It was a big risk, having...

Richard Nixon’s presidency is a study in contrasts. He achieved significant foreign policy successes and domestic environmental and social progress, yet Watergate ultimately tarnished his legacy, overshadowing all that came before it. The thirty-seventh American commander-in-chief is remembered as both a consequential president and one who brought down his own administration and legacy. The year 1968 would go down in history as one of chaos and violence. With the disastrous Tet Offensive in Vietnam, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, civil rights unrest, political polarization, and violence at the Democratic Convention stemming from President Lyndon...

Kamala Harris is on the cover of the newest Vogue. Yes, the same magazine that ignored the lovely first lady who was actually a model put ol' Kammy on the cover with a whole lot of airbrushing. A WHOLE LOT. She's in her 60s guys, not late 30s. Oh, and knowing she was doing the photoshoot the day she came after DeSantis for supposedly refusing her call? Yeah, the cover is fair game. https://x.com/greg_price11/status/1844753783483474026 She was SO CONCERNED about Florida getting hit by Milton she took time from her fancy schmancy Vogue photoshoot to make up a lie about DeSantis...

VIDEOTDS is so powerful that it has already led to TWO assassination attempts since J13 as well as the official coverups of both events (looking at YOU, Chris Wray). In addition, TDS generally makes people act completely DERANGED in a laughable way so it does have certain entertaining fringe benefits. And now Democrat consultant David Axelrod admits that TDS is all too real.

NEW: The NC National Guard allegedly loaded an entire C17 with supplies just so Kamala Harris could stage a photo-op for Hurricane Helene without the intention of the supplies being used. The accusation came from Aerial Recovery members Jonathan Howard and Charlie Keebaugh on @ShawnRyan762 's show. "I had a squadron commander from North Carolina reach out to me... They had to a C17, full of supplies just to take a photo op for Kamala… and they never sent the bird." "They did a photo op and with the intention of never sending [aid]... it was just a photo op."...

Republican lawmakers on Monday ratcheted up the investigation into billionaire George Soros’ purchase of a wide swath of U.S. radio stations. Soros is a major donor to Democratic and liberal causes whose purchase of American radio stations just before the election raised eyebrows and drew Congressional inquiry. The deal began when the large radio company Audacy filed for bankruptcy. Via a complicated business deal, Soros gained control of the stations. Notably, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers said in a release Monday that the deal would include "25% of the company being indirectly foreign owned,” something that...

Once again, this week has been dominated by what is happening and what could happen in the Middle East (ME). Earlier this week I felt that I had to provide a brief article on the ME which is available only to subscribers and those on my Telegram Channel. It is too important to ignore. I have been following the situation closely and it appears that the Israelis are not doing well. Let me qualify that statement: the Israelis are doing wonderfully well at killing defenceless innocents in Gaza and Lebanon but are doing less well in confronting armed and dangerous...
