Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, will reportedly not use drop boxes this election cycle citing concerns of “illegal activities.” Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo sent a notice to county election officials on Wednesday saying the county lacked the “capability” to ensure the drop boxes were safe locations for voters to leave their ballots, according to WNEP. “While I recognize that drop boxes can provide alternative means for voters to cast their ballots, I must prioritize the safety and security of our community in the current political climate,” Crocamo said. “We don’t have the capability, we don’t have the number of staff members...

A 15-year-old Mississippi girl has been charged with murdering her mom -- and the events leading up to the fatal shooting were caught on camera -- as well as the victim's chilling screams mixed with gunfire. Check out the footage ... which begins with Carly Gregg in a Nirvana shirt lurking around her house. At one point, Gregg peeked her head into the kitchen while holding something behind her back, later revealed to be a .357 Magnum handgun. She then strolled out of frame into another part of the residence before several gunshots could be heard along with her mom,...

We’ve recently read some heartwarming stories concerning terrorists in Lebanon being separated from their mortal coils as they were blown up by their own pagers. Israel had no comment other than (I'm guessing) Mossad agents giving each other high-fives for a job well done. RedState's Susie Moore wrote: I'm not sure who had exploding pagers on their Bingo cards for 2024, but why not? As Bonchie reported earlier: In one of the most unbelievable developments of 2024, Israel somehow hacked into the pagers and cell phones of Hezbollah fighters and caused them to explode. News of hundreds of injuries, including...

Chris Cuomo opens video with an apology to DJT. Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll (9/16): Trump +6

National Poll. 9/12/2024 The race for the White House continues to be close, as former President Donald Trump holds a two-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 49% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for Trump, while 47% would vote for Harris. Just one percent (1%) say they’d vote for some other candidate and another two percent (2%) are undecided.

John King, CNN moderator opens the debate by asking Newt an embarrassing question regarding his wife. This is how you handle biased moderators.

Another presidential debate, another day after spent scratching your head and wondering why we're still in this place. Why did the GOP allow its candidate to -- yet again! -- be ganged up on by DNC operatives masquerading as journalists/moderators? Why do we say "Never again!" every election cycle, and every election cycle do it again? Will the insanity of it all ever stop? Advertisement It's not like we haven't been here before. As RedState's Jen Van Laar noted today, CNN whiffed spectacularly back when Mitt Romney was the nominee: Back in 2012 CNN debate moderator Candy Crowley let her...

If moderators do their job correctly, nobody talks about them afterward. Unless one becomes a legendary moderator like Jim Lehrer, debate watchers don't remember who the moderator was. Back in 2012 CNN debate moderator Candy Crowley let her bias get the best of her and incorrectly "corrected" Republican nominee Mitt Romney's remarks about Barack Obama and the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and her credibility was In 2016 another CNN personality, Donna Brazile, leaked primary debate questions to Hillary Clinton, and while she's not a journalist or a moderator, her actions even further damaged Americans' faith...

Harris voters struggle to answer the question.

FIRST ON FOX: California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a controversial bill that would have given hundreds of thousands of dollars in housing loans to illegal immigrants. Last month, the California legislature advanced AB 1840, known as the "California Dream for All" loan program, which would have given illegal immigrants up to $150,000 in first-time homeownership loans — a bill that if signed into law would have given first-time homebuyers up to 20% of a home's value or up to $150,000 as down payment assistance. "This bill seeks to prohibit the disqualification of applicants from one of California Housing Finance Agency's...

Robert Kennedy Jr., a former independent presidential candidate, reversed course and told his supporters in every state to vote for former President Trump, the GOP presidential nominee. He previously said his supporters could still vote for him on the ballot in uncompetitive states, despite his endorsement of Trump. “No matter what state you live in, I urge you to vote for Donald Trump,” he wrote in a fundraising email on Thursday. “The reason is that is the only way we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington D.C. and fulfill the mission that motivated my campaign.” Kennedy...

In this video, I go into how Donald Trump's lead in the 2024 election cycle is much larger than what the vast majority of political forecasters are predicting.

This is classic Kamala nonsense, repeated over and over at different venues. "What can be unburdened by what has been."

Five swimmers in Indiana were electrocuted in what police described as a "freak accident" in a swimming pool Sunday afternoon. Officers, fire and medical personnel responded to a home in the 2600 block of High St. just after 2:30 p.m. in the town of Logansport, Indiana, police said. Police said five people – including two adults and three juveniles – were transported to local hospitals for their injuries. Medical personnel transported two of the juveniles to different hospitals for further treatment. A spokesperson for the Logansport Police Department described the incident to Indianapolis’ FOX 59 as a "freak accident." Police...

Anumber of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters recently said on social media they will vote for Donald Trump if the independent presidential candidate drops out of the 2024 election and endorses the Republican nominee as a new poll found that if Kennedy Jr. leaves the race more of his supporters would lean towards backing the former president than Vice President Kamala Harris. It follows unconfirmed reports that Kennedy Jr. will withdraw from the White House race and offer Trump his endorsement later today. Kennedy Jr. is due to deliver an "address to the nation" at 2 p.m. ET from Phoenix,...

The Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago on Monday, and the city has been bracing for violence and riots. Businesses started boarding up their windows and doors last week due to the many thousands of antisemitic, pro-Palestinian protesters expected to descend on the area organized by more than 200 different groups. Some are saying it could be reminiscent of the violence that plagued the 1968 DNC, which was also in Chicago. Chicago law enforcement dismisses that idea. "Chicago 2024 won’t be like Chicago 1968. That is the promise of law-enforcement officials and protest organizers alike as the curtain prepares...

This week, the Democrat National Convention comes to Chicago to (officially) nominate their new and never before voted on (in the 2024 cycle) candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, for President of the United States. And her “stolen valor” but acceptable-to-the-Democrat-antisemitic-base, vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz. Which makes this another good time to discuss the state of play for the 2024 presidential race. The Real Clear Politics national average has Harris with a 1.2 percentage point advantage over former President Donald Trump. The average has been going up and down as of late; the irrational exuberance of the Democrats has ended,...

Kamala Harris finally came out with a policy position. Her prior one was one that she swiped from her opponent, former President Donald Trump — no tax on tips. Her new policy was going after "price gouging" by corporations, saying that she'd crack down on "excessive prices" and "excessive profits." What qualifies as "excessive"? This smacks of the Soviet Union and communism, in addition to being truly bad policy. In the U.S., the government doesn't control/dictate to private companies. Now, what's pretty funny is that the Washington Post recognized this too, in an op-ed entitled: "When your opponent calls you...
