Hurricane Milton tore through the west coast of Florida, ripping the roof off Tropicana Field — and doing serious damage to the floundering Kamala Harris campaign. With her gale force winds of desperation, the veep has tried so hard to appear presidential by inserting herself into the storm effort this week. But she’s come across like a party crasher trying to get into the VIP section of an A-list soiree. A political interloper. A useless limb. Or, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said more bluntly this morning on “Squawk Box”: “She has no role in this process.” Still, Harris worked...

Vice President Kamala Harris is promising Latino voters that she will open the borders to a vast number of economic migrants and will grant shares of their U.S. citizenship to millions of migrants who have sneaked into Americans’ society. Harris did not explain to swing-voting Americans with Latino ancestry why their concerns about the economy should be subordinated to her goal of welcoming millions of desperate, job-seeking migrants. However, those migration goals are sought by the Democrat party’s donor base of West Coast investors and Wall Street money managers — and are included in her 82-page economic plan. On October...

My wife was working near our Trump yard sign. It didn't take long for a bicyclist to to yell, "Trump sucks!" At least he didn't call her a racist, fascist, or a Nazi as he whizzed by. The same can't be said of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, or any number of members of Congress and the media who disparage Donald Trump with these insults. At a recent hearing, Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett called Trump a "would-be Fuhrer." Some neighbors who support Trump are afraid of putting up yard signs for fear Trump haters will allow their dogs to...

Former President Donald Trump will participate in an all-female Fox News town hall in Georgia, specifically covering “issues impacting women,” airing on October 16 — mere weeks ahead of the election. Fox News made the announcement Friday, noting that it will be a one-hour town hall in Cumming, Georgia, hosted by Harris Faulkner. The town hall will focus on “issues impacting women,” and the audience will be “entirely composed of women,” according to Fox News. “Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential...

The race for the US presidency is a nail-biter, so two Kamala Harris supporters have taken matters into their own manicured hands and launched a line of nail polishes themed around viral moments from the Democratic campaign. "We wanted something that was playful and fun, something that was approachable" for people who are not highly engaged in politics, said Amy Rosenthal, co-founder of "Colors for Kamala". She wants the brand to provoke "regular human conversations with people who might not agree with you at all about politics, but you know what? They like the same (shade of) red". Rosenthal and...

Hurricane Milton produced dozens of tornadoes and rainfall estimates that topped more than a foot across west-central Florida, but a sight now opening up across many counties is that of sinkholes. Large sinkholes were reported in both Polk and Hillsborough counties, where local authorities warned residents to stay alert in the aftermath of the storm, as the terrain features can expand without warning. Photos shared by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office showed pipes, part of a sidewalk and a roadway all being devoured by a sinkhole in the residential community southeast of Tampa. The sheriff’s office didn’t report any damage...

During a town hall set to air on Univision, the vice president emphasized a “humane pathway to earned citizenship for hardworking people.”Kamala Harris has vowed to strengthen President Joe Biden’s asylum crackdown at the border. But she hasn’t committed to using that same unilateral authority to offer a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as Dreamers. In a town hall hosted by the Spanish-language television giant Univision set to air Thursday evening, Harris spoke forcefully about establishing an “orderly and humane pathway to earned citizenship for hardworking people.” And asked by...

The California Air Resources Board is set to vote on new regulations next month, and if passed, they could pass costs over to customers at the gas pump. According to the Los Angeles Times, the plan would limit the carbon intensity in fuels by expanding a program instituted in 2011 that penalized refineries that create high-carbon fuel, like diesel and gasoline. New regulations would increase the penalties, thus increasing the price of production. In September of last year, CARB estimated the regulations could raise gas prices by 47 cents per gallon, but analysts, according to The Times, say customers at...

The governing body of Brown University, an Ivy League school known for its left-wing politics, rejected a proposal Wednesday to divest the university’s holdings from Israeli companies or companies with ties to the Israeli military. The Brown Daily Herald reported: Brown University will not divest from companies with Israeli military ties, its governing body voted Tuesday. The decision, announced publicly Wednesday, follows a recommendation against divestment issued by Brown’s Advisory Committee on University Resource Management, or ACURM. The committee voted 8-2 against recommending divestment, with one member abstaining. As Breitbart News had reported in May, Brown University was the first...

Reportedly an atheist, George Soros has set himself apart from other billionaires by generous and non-stop philanthropy to organizations and media hostile to the Judeo Christian legal and cultural foundations of the West, the United States in particular. But all the lawfare in the world won’t stop the 94-year-old globalist’s transition to the great unknown. So he is transferring his empire to family and advisors he trusts to continue what many regard as his Satanic legacy. Having already relinquished leadership of his cherished Open Society Foundations to his son Alexander, George Soros “has quietly been transferring parts of his property...

Although few yet see it coming, humans are about to enter a new era of history. Call it “the age of depopulation.” For the first time since the Black Death in the 1300s, the planetary population will decline. But whereas the last implosion was caused by a deadly disease borne by fleas, the coming one will be entirely due to choices made by people. With birthrates plummeting, more and more societies are heading into an era of pervasive and indefinite depopulation, one that will eventually encompass the whole planet. What lies ahead is a world made up of shrinking and...

Independent challenger Nathan Hochman is destroying incumbent, George Soros-backed George Gascón in the race for Los Angeles County District Attorney, leading by 30 points with less than four weeks to before Election Day. A Los Angeles Times/University of California Berkeley poll of likely voters this week showed that 51% would vote for Hochman, while only 21% would choose Gascon. The percentage of undecided voters, 28%, cannot make up the gap. Gascón ousted incumbent Jackie Lacey, the first black woman to hold the job, in 2020 — thanks to the endorsements of Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Black Lives Matter...

“No automation means no automation,” says the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), the union representing 85,000 dock and maritime workers.ILA officials reached a tentative wage agreement with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) on Oct. 3. This move effectively suspended the three-day job action and extended the existing Master Contract until Jan. 15. The new deal allows both sides about 100 days to negotiate a new agreement, with automation being the primary sticking point.While ILA confirmed that USMX agreed to raise pay for thousands of port workers, they are now focusing their discussions on using technology to complete tasks with less...

Apolitical cartoon that’s gone viral perfectly captures what may be the most decisive factor in our upcoming election, impacting competitive races across the nation from state legislative seats all the way up to the presidency. That factor is, sadly, abortion, expressed in the form of nonstop ads reminding women that their right to kill their fetuses faces an existential threat from Republicans. The cartoon, which only has two frames, begins by depicting the Democrat donkey as an abusive drunk, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and an open whiskey bottle labeled “Debt” in his hand. Shirtless, his tattoos include...

With less than a month to Election Day, former President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a new tax break proposal. Speaking at the Detroit Economic Club, the Republican presidential nominee said he would make the interest paid on car loans tax deductible. “That’s going to revolutionize your industry,” he said. “This will stimulate massive domestic auto production and make car ownership dramatically more affordable for millions and millions of working American families. This is a phenomenal thing, if I do say so myself." Detroit is home to automakers General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Netherlands-based Stellantis N.V., owner of Chrysler....

San Antonio's massive apartment complex, Palatia Apartments (678 units), has been taken over by Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela.

[SNIP] Kamala the Quack: Jailing Parents of Black Sickle Cell Anemia PatientsSee also: Arrested by Kamala: A Black Mother's Story, by Joel GilbertSickle cell anemia may have actually been a survival response in Africa because the parasite that causes this disease has trouble with misshapen red blood cells. It’s otherwise a very mixed blessing because it conveys no benefits at all where malaria is not present, but it does cause enormous suffering. Donated blood plays an important role in its control and treatment.Kamala Harris did not actually say that jail cures this disease, but she seems to think it is...

During an appearance on Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the Democrat vice-presidential nominee, was asked about the squeeze being put on the middle class amid a time of high inflation. According to Walz, price gouging was a significant factor in higher prices. He also cited “false information” at the grocery store for the higher costs. “When we talk to them about what are the policies that are going to make a difference, and we see some of the data, but data doesn’t impact people in their daily lives going to the grocery stores,” he...

Vice President Kamala Harris debuted a Spanish accent on Thursday during a Univision town hall event, taking a break from the fake southern accent she sometimes uses. The accents raise concerns about Harris’s sincerity. Voters are often attuned to inauthentic politicians. “First of all, thank you for the question, and I hope your family is okay and your home is okay,” putting a Spanish drawl on the words “okay.” Critics on X immediately ripped Harris for the new accent, including Andy Ngo, Greg Price, and the MAGA War Room: It is not the first time Harris used a fake accent...

After one voter observed that Harris was never elected to be the Democrat nominee but just magically became such when “President Biden was pushed aside,” the vice president naturally drove home the point for the umpteenth time that Donald Trump is the “unprecedented” threat to democracy. Funny she brought up Trump and democracy because the former president actually made an apropos comment about the topic earlier the same day, telling the Economic Club of Detroit: “Our biggest threat to democracy is stupid people.” He’s onto something. Stupid people — people who know nothing of civic responsibility or common sense —...
