After Senator John Fetterman knocked Republicans for rejecting a controversial border bill, podcaster Joe Rogan held his feet to the fire and spoke about the theory that Democrats are using immigration to turn swing states blue.

Experiencing a city on foot gives you the freedom to amble from one attraction to another, discovering hidden bars, quirky shops, and lesser-known spots along the way. It’s also free and reduces your carbon footprint. But what makes a city pedestrian-friendly? In 2023, the sustainable living nonprofit organization Smart Growth America released their Foot Traffic Ahead report, which analyzed factors such as how easily residents in America’s largest metro areas can walk from their homes to amenities, the distances between blocks, and access to public transportation. So, lace up some comfortable footwear and explore the most walkable cities in the...

Lehigh County is the latest Pennsylvania County that is investigating hundreds of fake ballot registrations that were turned in recently by a leftist voter registration group. The Lehigh officials would not say which leftist voter registration group turned in these latest fraudulent registrations in Pennsylvania. Other counties have identified Field+Media Corps, an Arizona-based consulting firm as the organization turning in the estimated thousands of fraudulent registration forms. Lancaster, Monroe and York Counties in Pennsylvania have reported similar criminal acts and they are investigating. The Gateway Pundit has reported on similar ballot registration manufacturing operations in Michigan and Ohio.

Five Pennsylvania counties are investigating possible fraudulent voter applications and mail-in ballot applications in the days and weeks leading up to Election Day.. Evidence from the voter registration application fraud cases has stunned Pennsylvania over the past week, leading all the way to Arizona in a private for-profit industry that tries to register voters across counties and has increasingly raised legal concerns. As counties in Pennsylvania have investigated fraudulent voter applications in recent weeks, one group from Arizona has been of particular interest as it works out of Lancaster County, which is home to a large Amish population that both...

There is reportedly a five-alarm fire in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This area will decide the 2024 election. Donald Trump must win here. He split with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and won the state. While historically an evenly split county, the voter registration advantage has tilted toward the Republicans. Shockingly, that coincides with some administrative issues at election sites that some allege are intentional. The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee were incensed that voters were reportedly turned away during the early voting process. They sued, and a Pennsylvania judge sided with them, extending the deadline until yesterday. Even then,...

The chances of former President Donald Trump winning Wisconsin are good, Democrat and Republican sources told Mark Halperin — limiting Vice President Kamala Harris’s path to an Electoral College victory. Political experts have said for months that whichever candidate wins Pennsylvania wins the election, but Harris could win Pennsylvania and lose the election, according to Halperin. “My reporting is that she’s [Harris] in trouble in Wisconsin,” Halperin said on his 2Way platform. “This is based on three sources, two Republicans, one Democrat, all of whom know the state quite well, and all of whom told me today the same version...

With polls showing Vice President Harris and former President Trump locked in a dead heat as the 2024 race for the White House enters its final hours, the fate of the nation will turn on seven battleground states. These swing states have a combined 93 electoral votes. Some are longtime pillars of the so-called Democratic “blue wall,” which Trump demolished in 2016. Others are staples of the Republican coalition President Biden clawed away in 2020. With no pandemic, there will be fewer mail-in ballots this year — which could yield a winner much sooner than in 2020, when the race...

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court shut down an effort to allow mail-in ballots lacking a handwritten date to be counted in the 2024 election. The ruling overturns a decision from a Commonwealth Court finding that the state law requiring a handwritten date was unconstitutional. The Pennsylvania GOP appealed that ruling to the state supreme court, and now undated mail-in ballots will not be counted in the upcoming election. Justice Kevin Dougherty admonished the Commonwealth Court for its ruling in a forcefully-worded opinion relating to Friday's ruling. "'This Court will neither impose nor countenance substantial alterations to existing laws and procedures during...

The Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office is looking into several hundred irregular voter registration applications. District Attorney Gavin Holihan said that his office was alerted to the applications Thursday evening and met with the county election office Friday morning. He said there will be a criminal investigation. “An overwhelming number of these applications are done poorly,” Holihan said. “The names are wrong, the names are duplicated, the names and addresses don’t match, there’s insufficient information on the applications. “Can we find out who did that? That’s a good question. We would also need to know where physically it was done,...

Amish voters in the upcoming presidential election may be an important demographic in former President Donald Trump winning Pennsylvania. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-PA), who grew up Amish, spoke to Fox News about how more Amish had switched from farming to running businesses, and were “becoming much more engaged politically.” Smucker noted that people in the Amish community “love President Trump” because of “his policies,” adding that they like Trump because he is in favor of small government among many other reasons. The Republican congressman explained that the Amish are “very interested in religious liberty” and are “concerned about the border...

NEW: Our report tonight on @OutFrontCNN — The Harris campaign is targeting Jews in PA and Arabs in Michigan with entirely different messages on Gaza. PA ads highlight her support for Israel's "ability to defend itself," while Michigan ads say "she will not be silent" on Gaza.

I am one of more than 120,000 Pennsylvanians of Ukrainian heritage who will vote on which presidential candidate best serves our interests. Since only 80,000 votes separated the presidential candidates in 2020, our community's vote could be key to deciding who wins Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes in November: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.After watching news of the full-scale invasion, Trump gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a green light by calling his strategic decisions “savvy” and “genius.” When Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, he promised to strike a “rapid deal” to end the war but provided no...

Trump leads Harris by a five-point margin in Pennsylvania — 51-46

Major win for Pennsylvania Republicans and election integrity groups. A few days ago, 3 Democrat judges on the Pennsylvania appellate court (3-2 decision) struck down a date and accuracy requirement for mail in ballots to be received. Today, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court just stayed that ruling and put the date requirement back into effect. This makes it harder for Democrats to cheat. [Pdf Here]

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal from Republicans that could have led to thousands of provisional ballots not being counted in the battleground state. The justices left in place a state Supreme Court ruling that elections officials must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected. As of Thursday, about 9,000 ballots out of more than 1.6 million returned have arrived at elections offices around Pennsylvania lacking a secrecy envelope, a signature or a date, according to state records. Pennsylvania is the biggest presidential election battleground this year, with 19 electoral votes. In 2020,...

IRST ON FOX: The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations, and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan. The Harris campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Black advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of November's election next week, according to FEC filings released last week. Black Voters Matters Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations....

HAPPENING NOW: Voters are waiting 6 *hours* in line to vote in Levittown, PA, a Republican stronghold, because of apparent staffing issues. Voters who were interviewed say they can't come back on Tuesday due to work. The development comes after early voting was extended until today at 5PM. Scott Presler is also reporting issues in Quakertown where Trump supporters are being forced to wait hours to vote. "Bucks County elections officials did the bare minimum to comply with court’s order to provide voting access through 5PM today," Trump campaign's James Blair said. "They staffed some offices with just 1 or...

Donald Trump is on the cusp of an improbable comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election because the American people would not let him fail. The campaign and its staff worked incredibly hard, and from the outside, the 2024 effort seemed to be the most well-organized, and professional, of Trump’s three attempts at the presidency. Yet there were moments when Trump seemed to falter, and when he was lifted up by people who decided, on their own, that they would not let him lose. Take, for example, the song “Fighter,” written by Breitbart News’ own Jon Kahn and recorded in...

Republicans in Pennsylvania are seeing a higher percentage of low-propensity voters turn out and vote than Democrats are, Rob Bresnahan, Republican candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. Bresnahan said the GOP currently has about 17 percent participation from low-propensity voters in the state — people who did not vote in 2020 and/or 2022 — compared to the Democrats, who are seeing 11 percent participation from that same group. The congressional hopeful said the trends are good, and described the energy on the ground as “shocking.” “The response that we’ve had...

Another statue of former President Donald Trump appeared in Philadelphia Thursday — the second in as many days — except larger and more obscene. The detailed 40-foot naked Trump effigy hung by crane on Kensington Avenue to the curiosity, disgust and delight of passersby. The statue looks like one that went up in Madison, which was part of a “Crooked and Obscene Tour,” the Capital Times reported. In the past month, the statue has made appearances in Las Vegas, Detroit and Phoenix. According to the Detroit Free Press, the statue is made of foam and rebar and weighs about 6,000...
