Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data show that 425,000 persons with criminal records were among the estimated 11.6 million persons illegally admitted into the US and released to roam the nation since Joe Biden became president: 13,099 were convicted of homicide, 15,811 for sexual assault, over 2,500 for kidnapping, over 10,000 for robbery, and over 62,000 for assault. Vice-President Kamala Harris pointed out that "based on these numbers, less than 4% of those we brought into the country had criminal records. American citizens with criminal records make up about 3% of our adult population. The murders we admitted represented only...

People keep asking me why Arab American citizens are moving toward voting for Trump. My answer? They are already Trump supporters – and enthusiastic ones. But they aren’t registered to vote and keep telling us they don’t know where or how to vote. My husband and I started the Conservative American Middle Eastern PAC – or CAM PAC – in October 2024 after a Trump supporting friend told us how much he was hurting financially but that he still wasn’t registered to vote. Seeing this gap in Republican outreach to register Middle Eastern Americans, we couldn’t wait for someone else...

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, is pulling ahead in Pennsylvania, a pivotal battleground state, according to a recent poll from The New York Times/Siena College, which is ranked by FiveThirtyEight as the most reliable pollster in the United States. The winner of Pennsylvania and its 19 Electoral votes—more than any other swing state—could determine the outcome of the 2024 election. A New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College poll of 857 likely voters in the Keystone State found Harris leading former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, by 3 percentage points. The poll, conducted between October 7 and 10 and...

ILLEGAL FIREARM? Did Tim Walz violate state and/or federal law by using a magazine that was too large? It sure sounded like he loaded five shells into his shotgun. Tim's handmade Italian shotgun can hold 4 shells in the magazine and 1 in the chamber. Bird hunters know that you've got to use a plug to limit the capacity of your shotgun to 2 shells in the magazine and 1 in the chamber. Did Tim forget about this rule or is the truth that he has no idea what he is doing. The press pool on the hunt reported that...

This pro-Tim Walz ad is so horrifically bad that my first thought was, it must be a parody. But it is said to have been produced by the same people who made this one, which is real and to which the Walz ad bears some resemblance. So on balance, I think it is another misguided attempt by the Democrats to make their candidates seem human: Brent Sher on X: If you thought that ad of the men for Kamala was cringe, wait until you see the same group's Tim Walz video

Is Tim Walz a pedophile? Black Insurrectionist on X claims he has the receipts. (Scroll down for the accusations.) But just asking the question alone will do some political damage. In my state of Maryland, we have a conservative school board candidate who was acquitted thirty years ago of having sexual relations with a female teen at his school. He claims the allegations were false; but the Democrats are certainly making hay with the old news. I’m inclined, when someone has actually been acquitted of a crime, to consider that perhaps they really were innocent. But the seed has been...

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a rally in Coachella, California on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at 5:00PM PDT. Under Kamala Harris and her dangerous Democrat allies like Tim Walz, the notorious "California Dream" has turned into a nightmare for everyday Americans. Since Harris and Biden took office, prices have skyrocketed by nearly 20 percent, leaving Californians grappling with crushing costs. Families are struggling to stay afloat, with the average California household losing more than $33,232 since January 2021. Californians are suffocating under rising prices for everything from groceries to...

Meghan McCain on Friday threatened to share her late father’s honest thoughts about Kamala Harris — a day after the vice president invoked the memory of John McCain at an Arizona campaign rally. “The View” co-host fumed on X as she claimed that Democrats have “bastardized” her father’s memory for their own political aims. “Now, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment you need to bastardize his memory for,” the 39-year-old pundit wrote on X, “But please don’t make me start sharing...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz appeared to double down Thursday on his support for getting rid of the Electoral College — despite getting smacked down by the Harris campaign the first time he called for the radical constitutional change. “Well, it’s not the campaign’s position, and the point that I’m trying to make is that there’s folks that feel like every vote must count in every state,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee told ABC News “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan in an interview. “And I think some of the folks feel that that’s not the case.” During a campaign fundraiser...

During a town hall event broadcast by the Spanish-language network Univision, Kamala Harris faced accusations of using a teleprompter, sparking criticism over the supposed “impromptu” nature of the event. The town hall, held in Las Vegas and aimed at undecided Latino voters, was meant to be an unscripted opportunity for voters to engage directly with Harris and hear her candid responses to questions.

Kamala Harris got caught using a teleprompter during Thursday night’s Univision town hall in Las Vegas. Harris pandered to Latina voters by participating in a town hall hosted by Univision. The internal polls for Harris must be horrific. Of course, Kamala Harris had to use a teleprompter because she has no clue what she’s talking about. Univision panicked after they realized they showed Kamala Harris’s teleprompter live on air. As soon as the camera panned behind Kamala Harris, the teleprompter went black. But it was too late.

Democrat strategist James Carville and radio host Charlamagne tha God, two prominent supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, are expressing concerns over her campaign’s lack of a message for the American people. With less than a month until polls open, they’re getting a little antsy. Charlamagne, who previously praised Harris as a candidate with “'super main character energy,” now feels all of the energy has shifted to the Trump campaign when it comes to relating to the people. “You'll listen to a lot of reporters and they'll be talking to Trump or JD Vance and they'll be talking to them...

Joe Biden did not exit the 2024 presidential race of his own volition. Anybody paying attention knows that his wife certainly didn't want him to stop running for a second term. Her ambition was most likely what drove him to run in the last election and she was still his most vocal cheerleader when the rest of the Dems were jumping ship after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump. The question on a lot of people's minds since then is whether Old Joe himself has been upset that he was tweeted into political irrelevance. ... Biden has done a few...

The new face of masculinity strikes again, and most media are still ignoring it: Weeks after reports that Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff slapped his then-girlfriend for talking to another man comes news that staffers at his old law firm accuse him of being an “a–hole” and a “misogynist” who demeaned female colleagues. None of that’s fully confirmed, of course, but he did admit to knocking up the nanny while married to his first wife. And of course the new charges would have brought a major-media firestorm if they’d been leveled against, say, Brett Kavanaugh. Indeed, then-Sen. Kamala Harris was all...

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) walked away from the counter at a cafe without paying, with Walz’s daughter revealing that “someone will be up” to pay. Video footage posted to X appeared showed the two men walking away from the counter after Walz’s daughter tells them she will “wait” for the tea and informs a worker behind the counter that a campaign staffer is coming to the counter to pay. “I’ll wait for your tea,” Walz’s daughter says as the two men walk away.

The Harris campaign quickly stepped in and issued a statement after Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said the electoral college “needs to go” in favor of a national popular vote. The Minnesota governor made the comments during a fundraiser at the home of California Governor Gavin Newsom in Sacramento. “I think all of us know the electoral college needs to go,” Walz said. “But that’s not the world we live in.”

Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz suggested in an interview with CBS News’s 60 Minutes that aired on Tuesday that his “misspeaking” does not matter because Minnesotans know and support him. “I think folks know who I am. And I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong by — you — rather than a pathological liar like Donald Trump,” he responded when asked about his lie that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square Massacre when he was actually in Nebraska. When pressed on whether he could be trusted...

Former Vice President Mike Pence is launching a $3 million ad blitz in swing states to slam economic proposals from Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — including her multitrillion-dollar tax hike. Advancing American Freedom, a nonprofit conservative advocacy group founded by Pence, will run the digital ads in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Montana. His group also will distribute a “messaging memo” to Republican candidates competing in those states suggesting lines of political attack. The ad campaign will highlight the economic successes of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by former President Donald Trump — and Harris’ plans...

The Abandon Harris campaign announced on Monday that it is backing the Green Party’s presidential ticket of Dr. Jill Stein and Dr. Butch Ware. The announcement coincided with the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. The group announced its endorsement in a statement, calling on the Muslim-American community and “all those who stand firmly against genocide” to support the Green Party ticket. While the group said it does not view voting as a standalone solution, it regards the act as a “critical element” in resisting injustice and a tool that must be wielded “ethically.” “A vote...
