  • Kevin McCarthy: Kamala Harris Is Not in Charge of Her Presidential Campaign, Suggests Obama Is Pulling the Strings

    During an interview on the Cats Roundtable with John Catsimatidis, disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy alleged that Kamala Harris is not truly in charge of her presidential campaign. Instead, he claims that Barack Obama is pulling the strings behind the scenes to orchestrate her election bid for November. .... Snip..... McCarthy pointed out that Harris has surrounded herself with individuals who were once part of Obama’s inner circle. “If you’re watching the campaign now, some of Obama’s key advisors, including David Plouffe, are working on her campaign,” McCarthy said, adding, “You’re getting Obama shifting from running the White House...
  • Law & Dis-Order: How The Soros Machine Directs and Controls Prosecutors Across America to Implement His Leftist Agenda

    Controversial leftist billionaire George Soros and his son Alex have worked tirelessly to undermine law and order in America. The Media Research Center has obtained thousands of never-before-seen internal communications from dozens of Soros prosecutors in response to public records requests. These documents reveal how the Soros machine effectively employs an army of radicalized government lawyers to tear apart the justice system. The result is a crumbling legal system where laws are openly defied by the very people who are paid to enforce them.

    How much have you had stolen from you? That’s a big question. My apologies. Too big a question for a short online column. So let’s narrow it down. How much have you had stolen from you in just the past four years? Political candidates like to talk about all the free stuff that they’ve given you, and then promise even more free stuff in the future (paid for with your own tax dollars, of course. Nothing is ever really free). But candidates don’t like to talk about what they’ve taken from you, do they? So let’s look at that, shall...

    Kamala Harris and her running mate stolen valor Tim Walz visited a United Autoworkers Union Hall in Detroit, Michigan on Thursday. The UAW endorsed Harris after she forced Biden off the ballot last month. The union may have endorsed Harris but the members love Trump. UAW President Shawn Fain admitted most of the union members will support President Trump.

    Kathy Miller says Walz abandoned his troops. She told The Daily Mail, “My son was killed in Iraq serving in the military unit Tim Walz abandoned.” The Daily Mail reported: When soldier Kyle Miller was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on June 29, 2006, the man expected to lead them into combat was not there. Tim Walz, who would go on to be Kamala Harris’ running mate, left his Minnesota National Guard unit two months before it deployed – and some will never trust him again… …In an emotional interview with DailyMail.com, nearly two decades after 19-year-old Kyle’s...

    If these guys were a rose bush with so many thorns and so few flowers, you’d burn it! The Fed can easily be made to work but nobody apparently wants it to, or we’d change it. This rose bush puts out flowers that only stink and wither, but it has thorns the size of your fingers that cling to your pockets and tear at your flesh. We have three articles that were prominent in my news searches today that lay out just how miserably (for all of us) the Fed is failing at its actual mission. The first one by...

    To all my entrepreneurial patriots out there, I've got a question on Gross Margin (GM) and how do most view the topic of 'paying the entrepreneur' question. Q:As a budding manufacturing business owner/engineer I would like to know if: 1) my $99 price point product has enough margin or if I need to up the price? 2) Would most entrepreneurs include the labor in the GM calc if they are the only one performing labor and they are not supposed to be paying themselves like the sharks on Sharktank always harp on? Background.... I'd really like to keep the price...

    Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was chosen to become Kamala Harris’s running mate. He is a communist, and his actions in office prove it. He has seriously damaged Minnesota and wants to do the same for the country. THE RADICAL MARXIST WITH TIES TO CHINA Walz fawned over Communist China and taught a class there. He said he was never treated so well. They gave him gifts. He marveled that there was no crime. I guess he never heard of the gulags. “No one is more pro-China than Marxist Walz,” Richard Grenell, former acting director of National Intelligence under...
  • Kamala Up? What Do the Polls Really Say?

    American Thinker ^ | August 7, 2024 | John Kudla
    This is an interesting situation. As Kamala rises in the polls, the stock market declines. Are the two linked? Probably not, but who knows? As of today, the Kamala bounce seems to be real. A Morning Consult poll from early this month has Harris up by 4 over Trump. This is a massive poll of 11,000+ registered voters, supposedly giving it more credibility. But what would be more convincing would be a more targeted poll of likely voters. One key takeaway from this poll is that Kamala’s popularity may have peaked at 50% and is now moving down. In what...

    Politico and Bloomberg Opinion have just been exposed engaging in grotesque journalistic malfeasance just to suck up to the Biden-Harris White House. The Functional Government Initiative (FGI) unveiled another trove of documents of damning communications from 2022 through open records requests, giving MRC Business exclusive access. The documents reveal the extent to which the Biden-Harris Treasury Department had editorial influence over Politico and Bloomberg Opinion. A Politico reporter forwarded his pay-walled Politico Pro piece slapping down worries of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hiring 87,000 new employees to a Biden-Harris Treasury official who then edited some of the language used...
  • Trump Says Joe Biden Will Try to “Take Back the Nomination” at the DNC After It Was Stolen by Kamala — “I HEAR THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT TO ‘BRING BACK CROOKED JOE'”

    In shocking news, Trump suggested that there is a growing movement among Democrats to “bring back Crooked Joe. In a separate post, he continued his tirade: “What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamala, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing...

    Computing giant seeks to get 'leaner' as it recognizes the potential of AI to grow faster than its competitors.One of the world’s biggest tech companies is about to become ‘leaner’, after Dell announced to its employees that it would be laying off further staff.Just a few weeks after its workers expressed their dissatisfaction at Dell’s return to office policy, the company sent a memo to staff on Monday to notify them of the impending redundancies and cited the need for “streamlining layers of management”. It’s the second consecutive year that Dell has made significant cuts to its workforce.The memo also...

    Daily Signal ^ | August 6, 2024 | Peter St. Onge
    Two new surveys say most Americans think the recession has already begun. This must come as a shock to our mendacious media sacrificing fresh mountains of newsprint to gaslight Kackles over the 50-yard line come November. Meanwhile, nearly 70% of Americans report that inflation—which that same media told us was long gone —continues making life a struggle, with little prospect of saving for the future or getting out of debt. The numbers come from two surveys by left-wing Guardian-Harris polling, and another from payment network Affirm, who sampled 2,000 Americans. Nearly 60% say we’re already in recession, and on average,...

    OpenAI is reportedly facing another lawsuit on its supposed artificial intelligence training methods, this time by YouTuber David Millette. Lawyers for David Millette, a YouTube user from Massachusetts, claim in a lawsuit filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that OpenAI secretly transcribed videos from Millette and other creators to train the models for their AI-powered chatbot platform, ChatGPT, and other generative AI tools and products. The complaint reportedly alleges that OpenAI significantly benefited from the creators' work by gathering this data, while also infringing copyright law and YouTube's terms of service which...

    Evidence that the “Trump is a racist” media narrative is no longer working became more obvious when a reporter interviewed black patrons in a Barbershop concerning race, politics, and the upcoming November general election. The segment came just days before former President Donald Trump took the stage in Chicago in front of the National Association of Black Journalists. During the appearance, Trump slammed ABC’s Rachel Scott over her question about Vice President Kamala Harris‘ race-based plastics. However, Smith’s segment shows what actual voters feel about these issues. When Smith brought up Harris and the likelihood of her candidacy swaying black...

    In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. The photo below is a screenshot from the actual Target Package used by the FAMS to surveil Gabbard. The whistleblowers first shared the information with Sonya LaBosco,...

    Stock markets around the world are crashing right now, but why?The answer to this question is the Yen carry trade, a term you'll probably hear many times this week.So what exactly is the Yen carry trade and why did it cause a market downturn?It all started after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to raise rates at their most recent meeting. The BOJ raised rates to ~0.25% in their second rate hike since 2007, effectively ending negative rate policy. For years, traders took advantage of these ultra low rates.The Yen Carry trade explained:For years, investors would borrow Yen at ultra...
