Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is apparently going to outline in an upcoming speech a “war plan” to defeat President Donald Trump (R) who won her state during the 2024 presidential election. During an interview with Politico about the speech she will deliver in Lansing on Thursday, Slotkin claimed the president is doing “a whole bunch of things that I think are a threat to our economy and a threat to our Democracy and I have a responsibility on behalf of my state to point that out and try to do something about that,” the outlet reported on Thursday. A recent...

Kamala Harris abruptly left DC for her native California the day after grimacing her way through Donald Trump’s inauguration, clad in a black funeral-esque suit. Safely back in La-La Land, the now-jobless former VP can process the first major defeat of her career. No doubt still stewing over her loss, the crosshairs of blame are sure to be pointed at former President Joe Biden, accused of dropping out of the race too late. Also Trump, for his attacks, and even her own husband, Doug Emhoff, whose past indiscretions brought wave after wave of embarrassment to her campaign. Harris’ truncated campaign...

Addressing the grinding war in Ukraine, Macron stressed the need for “realistic discussions on territorial questions”

Many Democrats remain comically befuddled over how they lost two of the past three presidential elections to Donald Trump. As one might expect from those obsessed with gender and identify politics, they now engage in projection, chalking up the defeats to a sexist and misogynist electorate. “Will the U.S. ever be ready for a female president?” trumpeted a recent New York Times headline. The story quotes Bill Clinton, whose wife, Hillary, lost the 2016 election to Mr. Trump. “Ideologically, the people who are most likely to be against women are most likely to be conservative,” he said. Republicans should rejoice...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that it is important to study MAGA to expose “the movement’s vulnerability” and defeat it. Wallace said, “I think the study of MAGA is essential to defeat MAGA. Right? And if you want to go to the country in four years with the political movement that defeats MAGA, you have to understand MAGA. And so to me this is a story that is, the personalities in conflict, you just can’t look away, right? But the idea that one figure, and I think it’s Bannon in this case, is trying to preserve something...

President Joe Biden does not appear to blame Vice President Kamala Harris for the landslide election loss to President-elect Donald Trump, Biden’s aides told the Washington Post on Saturday. The president reportedly argues he could have still defeated Trump if he would have stayed in the race and ignored calls for him to step aside. Biden’s belief appears to be at odds with reality, based on his poor debate performance, a lack of fundraising, and dropping poll numbers. About two-thirds of Democrats wanted Biden to withdraw, an AP-NORC poll found in July before Biden stepped aside. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA),...

resident Biden has been forced to stop auctioning off materials used for the border wall after the Texas Attorney General stepped in to block the sales. The unused material was put up for grabs by Congress who put a plan in place on how to dispose of the excess product after ending wall construction in 2021. Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Friday that he had stopped the administration from getting rid of any more before president-elect Trump takes office in January. The Biden administration agreed with the court order, according to Fox News, allowing President Trump to use the...

Khamenei is buried under the rubble of defeat, yet he still plots new schemes to create chaos and incite war, despite no longer having the power or energy to carry them out. On December 11, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei delivered his first speech following Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s fall, broadcast as a pre-recorded message. Its significance rested solely on the propaganda spread by his supporters. During the 51-minute ramble, he offered no ideas, messages, or meaningful content. His speech was riddled with delusions – a chaotic and unsettling display. Khamenei’s arguments came across as childish and riddled with lies...

The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. “George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals,” an unnamed entertainment industry source told Radaronline.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential bid has political strategists second guessing many of her campaign choices, including her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. "The choice of Walz was only one of many disastrous mistakes but symptomatic of one larger problem — the Democratic Party leadership is too scared to say no to the hard-left progressive wing of the party," Julian Epstein, longtime Democratic operative and former chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital. "This hard left opposes commonsense solutions that [Pennsylvania] Gov. [Josh] Shapiro supports — charter schools, for example....

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, the first black woman elected to the job, is facing defeat after early returns showed Levi’s heir Daniel Lurie with a commanding lead in the 2024 election. Politico reported: Early returns show her trailing far behind Daniel Lurie, a Levi Strauss heir and nonprofit founder, who far outspent the incumbent using his personal wealth and blamed Breed for the city’s problems with homelessness, brazen theft and drug overdoses. He leads with 56 percent of the vote using the city’s ranked-choice voting system, while Breed has 44 percent. It’s a dismal showing for Breed, a moderate...

The people surrounding Joe Biden blame Nancy Pelosi for Kamala Harris' election loss as Democrats have begun to bicker over who caused the party's disaster. It came as the president, 82, reacted to Harris' concession speech at Howard University Wednesday. The blame game went into overdrive last night, as Biden confidants told senior White House reporters they hold the former Speaker of the House responsible for him leaving the race. 'Bidenworld' sources claim that not only should the president have stayed in the race but that he would have won the white working class voters who Harris largely ceded to...

John Solomon @jsolomonReports Breaking: 'There will be no third debate': Trump ends talk of rematch with Harris From justthenews.com 2:19 PM · Sep 12, 2024

During an interview on Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central” that took place before that night’s presidential debate, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby responded to a question on if Vice President Kamala Harris worked in lockstep with President Biden on the withdrawal from Afghanistan by stating that “she was at the center of” “the policy discussions and the planning that went into the withdrawal,” “as she would be as Vice President.” Co-host John Berman read from the House Republican report on Afghanistan and asked, “The idea of Harris working in lockstep with President Biden on the Afghan...

Ukrainian soldiers have removed a Russian flag from a council building in the Kursk region, as Kyiv continues its attacks on the border region. In a video shared online, two soldiers who appear to be dressed in Ukrainian uniform, break down the flag in Sverdlikovo and throw it on the ground. Another video circulating shows destroyed military vehicles lining the side of the road – inside some are injured or dead soldiers. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed last night that his military was now pushing the war onto “the aggressor’s territory” and thanked his country’s “warriors”. A senior Ukrainian security official...

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) vowed revenge on a top pro-Israel PAC after she lost the primary in her reelection campaign on Tuesday. The group boosted her opponent in a tightly contested race, knocking off a second member of the progressive “squad.” The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) super PAC, United Democracy Project, was a top funder of her opponent, St. Louis County District Attorney Wesley Bell. Bush was harshly criticized for her outspoken criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza. Bush said in a fiery speech after her loss that leaving Congress will only “takes some strings off.” “Because now...

So much for the establishment media’s overhype of Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris: a scientific model published on Tuesday demonstrates that GOP nominee for president former President Donald Trump is heavily favored to win the election. Statistician Nate Silver’s model, which pulls together polls and other data to forecast the probabilities of which candidate will win in November, opens the new race between Trump and Harris with an aggressive prediction of a likely Trump victory. Trump is forecast to have a 61.3-percent chance of winning, while Harris only has a 38.1-percent chance of winning. That means Trump has...

Vice President Kamala Harris will be an easier candidate to defeat in November than President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump said Sunday after Biden dropped out as the Democrat’s de facto nominee. Biden endorsed Harris as his replacement about 30 minutes after announcing that he would not run for reelection on Sunday. It is unclear if Harris can win the nomination. She holds a 36 percent approval rating nationwide, according to FiveThirtyEight.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), national co-chair of President Biden’s reelection campaign, said Friday that Biden is “weighing” who would be the best Democratic nominee to defeat former President Trump in November, indicating Biden is carefully evaluating the option of stepping aside for another candidate. But Coons also emphasized he thinks Biden would be the strongest choice to challenge Trump in the general election, and he later posted a statement on social media declaring Biden is “in it to win it.” “This is an internal party matter and a matter of the campaign that is playing out very publicly. I think...
