Former President Donald Trump traveled to a gang-ravaged Denver suburb Friday to announce plans to invoke a 226-year-old law to dismantle and deport illegal immigrant criminals across the US. The Republican nominee, 78, told supporters in Aurora, Colo. he would go after the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” (TdA), whose members have infiltrated the city of just under 400,000. At least 10 soldiers of the violent prison gang have been arrested in Aurora, where criminals have wreaked havoc and even taken over apartment complexes. “What are they doing to Colorado? They’re ruining your state,” Trump asked at the top of...

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...

Democratic elitists have a habit of disregarding your legitimate concerns, refusing to address your questions and shaming you into giving them your support. With identity politics at the forefront of the Democratic Party strategy, they’ve now drafted Barack Obama to enforce demographic-specific shaming tactics. The target of harassment: black men. At the Kamala Harris campaign’s Pittsburgh office, Obama lambasted black men for their lack of “energy,” which he claimed to be more pronounced with the “brothers.”

Stories about internal polling must be taken with a grain of salt. Those kinds of leaks are generally self-serving and aimed at potential donors. So when news began leaking about how former President Trump’s swing state polling showed him in better shape than the public polling, I didn’t pay much attention. But now, we know these stories were true. In fact, there’s no question now that last week’s internal polling said Kamala Harris was already in trouble. And how do we know that…? Because the Harris campaign launched a media blitz this week. Yes, the campaign actually took the risk...

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...

A free market for housing is one that benefits both renters and landlords.It should go without saying, but the United States became the world's most-prosperous large nation by generally allowing the market economy to work. By contrast, Argentina has remained a poor backwater thanks in part to its far-reaching price controls. So it's ironic that "free-market" America needs to learn a key economic lesson from down south, at least on the issue of rental housing. Argentina's governments have since the 1940s reflected to some degree the Perón-ista worldview, named after Juan Domingo Perón and his authoritarian-populist government. Last November,...

The Trump campaign reportedly has requested military aircraft and other increased security measures for former President Donald Trump in the final weeks leading up to the Nov. 5 election. The New York Times reported Friday that the requests came after Trump campaign advisers received briefings in which the government said Iran is still actively plotting to kill the former president. Trump advisers have grown concerned about drones and missiles, the outlet added. Newsmax reached out to the Trump campaign for comment. The Washington Post reported that the Trump campaign also has requested expanded flight restrictions over Trump's residences and rallies,...

New York Times writer Mara Gay said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that podcaster Joe Rogan was converting angry men to fascism. Gay said, “My thoughts are I hope that women seeing this who are over half the population and vote more consistently than men. I hope that they see this and that they coalesce around the obvious choice. White women, I’m talking to you as well.” She continued, “I just think we really also might want to take a moment to, as Barack Obama did yesterday, speaking specifically to black men, but I think this is actually for all...

Amid the raging controversies over illegal migrants, hurricane recovery, a cost-of-living crisis and reproductive rights, an endorsement decision by a labor union might barely register. But the Teamsters' refusal to back Kamala Harris and the Democrats could prove one of the more telling moments of the 2024 race so far. Representing truckers, railroad workers, brewers, and other blue-collar trades, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is the largest labor union in America – and one of the most masculine. With rare exceptions, they have always supported the Democrats, the so-called party of the working man.

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...

Top House Democrats are refusing to say if they will certify the results of the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins this November. The member signaled to Axios that Trump may cause issues with the vote. Jim McGovern (D-MA), the ranking member of the Rules Committee, said Democrats would certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to.” “We have to see how it all happens,” McGovern said.

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump does not want to debate Vice President Kamala Harris again because “he got his ass kicked.” Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “You talked about the debate. Why do you think Donald Trump won’t debate her again?” Emhoff said, “Well, you saw the first debate, didn’t you?” Scarborough said, “Yeah, yeah.” Emhoff said, “Yeah. That’s why. He got his ass kicked. And so he’s afraid that that’s going to happen again. Rather he’s spreading this fog, this fog of misinformation and disinformation and gaslighting rather than face...

Obamacare caused millions of Americans to lose their insurance plans while premiums skyrocketed, according to a new study from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. Former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) sought to make health insurance more accessible, all while reducing premiums and the government’s budget shortfall, and allowing Americans to keep their preferred medical providers. However, individual market premiums surged, hundreds of billions of dollars were added to cumulative U.S. deficits and seven million consumers had their plans canceled following the ACA’s passage, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity study found. “Obamacare has failed in every particular – it...

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas spent less than six hours visiting hurricane-hit areas of North Carolina on Thursday — before retreating to Washington to grab an early takeout dinner at Nobu. Mayorkas touched down in the Tar Heel State around 10 a.m. before jetting back to the nation’s capital, where he was spotted by The Post at 5:15 p.m. carrying bags of food from the posh international Japanese restaurant chain — where sushi and sashimi selections are priced at $60 a plate and the highest-grade Wagyu steaks go for $40 per ounce. ...

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...

Barack Obama accused black male voters who refuse to support Kamala Harris of sexism and demanded they get on board with the Democrat nominee. The former president was at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh to thank volunteers, but instead gave them a lecture, saying he wanted to 'speak some truths.' Obama said he was responding to reports on the ground that there was lower enthusiasm for Harris than there was for his own candidacy and that some black men were thinking of sitting out the election. 'We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in...

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...

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....

[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...
