Both the Harris-Walz and now lame-duck President Joe Biden keep insisting that they are Israel's best friend. Biden recently bragged at a contentious press conference, "No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None, none, none. And I think (Netanyahu) should remember that." Yet the thin-skinned and triggered Biden's prickliness poorly hid -- or perhaps revealed -- the truth: This current administration knows that it is responsible for the current explosion of the Middle East and dilemmas of Israel.

Kamala Harris was interviewed on "60 Minutes" by Bill Whitaker, but her answers are not likely to help her with the few voters who say they are still "undecided." Asked by Whitaker to explain her economic plan and how it would be paid for, Harris' response bordered on the meaningless: "My plan is about saying when you invest in small businesses you invest in the middle class and you strengthen America's economy. "Whitaker: "The question was how are you going to pay for it?"

Just watched "Meet The Press" – which likely means I hate myself. That said, I can see why their ratings are down, as host Kristen Welker seems obsessed with something no one outside the green rooms of cable news give a damn about: January 6th. The left is so committed to the lie that the Capitol Hill riot was “the greatest assault on our democracy since the Civil War,” but no one with an IQ larger than their shoe size buys it.

CNN recently dropped a bombshell report regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s run for the White House. According to Harry Enten, their CNN Senior Data Reporter, Harris is headed toward “the worst Democratic performance with union voters in a generation.” For anyone connected to the union community, such a probably feels less like a surprise – and more like a long-overdue confirmation of the obvious.

When Joe Biden became president, the Middle East was calm. Now it's in the midst of a multifront war. So quiet was the inheritance from the prior Trump administration that nearly three years later, on September 29, 2023 – and just eight days before the October 7th Hamas massacre of Israelis – Biden's national security advisor Jack Sullivan could still brag that "The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades." Their legacy now, will be the current Middle East Disaster.

They say vice presidential debates don’t really mean anything, and that’s usually true. But one thing is clear: after Tuesday, JD Vance is the Republican's Taylor Swift – except he’s not mediocre, insufferable, or incapable of maintaining a long-term relationship. Does that matter for November? Calm, cool, capable, and in charge of the facts, JD Vance conclusively demonstrated that he’s smart, he’s adaptable, he knows how to connect with an audience – and its beyond any serious dispute that he was a terrific choice for vice president.

Jennifer Krantz was with her husband in the checkout line at Sprankle's Grocery Store, along with her three boys, Brayden, Eddie & Frederick, when former President Donald Trump handed the clerk waiting on them a $100 bill. "Here, its going to go down a little bit," Trump told the clerk, to everyone's astonishment. "Her bill's going to go down $100," Trump said. Walking out of the store, Krantz said that having three growing boys means buying a lot of groceries, "and has put a big strain on our budget. It's been very difficult."

We keep hearing a lot about how America First conservatives, the faction of the Republican Party that took power in the wake of the utter failure of the GOP establishment, keep nominating terrible candidates. It’s the lame rationalization of people who want the power back that we stripped from them because of their gross incompetence, corruption, and condescension. Don’t buy it.

An October surprise is usually defined as the well-known (and more often left-wing) tactic of manufacturing or unloading a news story right before voting to surprise a rival without allowing them time sufficiently to respond or recover. Closer to the actual voting, Biden sought to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt owed to the federal government. He also began draining the strategic petroleum reserve to lower gas prices (as he is doing again this election year as well).

Price controls remain bad policy, whether proposed by people we like or do not like, Democrats or Republicans, Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump. Harris blames the inflation triggered by the irresponsible Biden-Harris government spending on "corporate greed." Without evidence, she accuses grocery stores of ripping off helpless consumers by jacking up prices.

Ahead of Election Day, a new national survey shows most voters know little about the personal impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which is set to expire at the end of 2025. The survey, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies on behalf of Stand Together, shows that 76% of voters, an overwhelming majority, say now is a bad time to increase taxes, and only 5% say it is a good time. The other 18% said it was neither a good time nor a bad time.

I’ve never understood the appeal of Oprah Winfrey. She’s always struck me as a giant fraud, the kind of person who will smile and hug when the cameras are on but an absolute oblivious nightmare when the public is not looking. Note that I didn’t say mean; I don’t know if she’s mean, but she sure as hell seems to have zero self-awareness regarding her surroundings. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is just the opposite. From all reports, she is an absolute nightmare to work for.

Cynically running out the clock has been the overarching principle of her entire abbreviated 105-day presidential campaign. Kamala Harris – ever since President Joe Biden,at the 11th hour dropped out in July – seems unwilling or unable to answer any impromptu question that she's not been previously prepped for. Her answers are memorized and canned. They never address the questions asked. She's certainly not running on experience, vision, or intelligence.

Robby Starbuck is reminding Corporate America of the fundamental insight that risk-management and brand intelligence should consider "wokeness" as an uncertainty and threat. He is helping businesses anticipate and mitigate harm by considering two separate tracks: Personnel Management & Consumer Sentiment – and perhaps his most tangible victory has been to convince companies to stop sharing information with the Human Right’s Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.

"I'm living with my father. He's retired, on a fixed income, and he can't afford the basic needs. He is struggling – and inflation doesn't care if your income isn't increasing. It just keeps on increasing. I think it's important to add that those grocery costs, or gas costs, have never gone down either," said 22-year-old Douglas Hohman from Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. So, what party did Hohman recently register for? Republican. "I really regret not voting in 2020. I now understand that every vote does count."

Democrats want their low-information base to be at a constant fever pitch when it comes to Donald Trump. They have lied to make him History's Greatest Monster – and their incurious base gobbles up the Trump Derangement Syndrome prevarication and processes it as white-hot hate that never wanes. And the closer he comes to winning the election, the hotter it gets. That much I know is intentional. In reality, Democrats have a well-documented track record of wishing illness and death upon those who don't agree with them. 

All the discussion around Joe Biden just two short months ago was about how senile he was. His debate with Donald Trump laid bare what Democrats in and out of the media had denied for years – Biden’s senility had overtaken his lifelong stupidity, and he was and still is unfit for office. Enter Nancy “Brutus” Pelosi to stab him in the back and insert Kamala Harris to “save the Democratic Party.” Then the public got a good look at her, and what do you know? Kamala may be worse than Biden.

The September 10th presidential debate went down as expected. Summed up, it was Sappy and the Blob pile on Grouchy. The swarmy and evasive Vice President Kamala Harris preened, posed, and proffered empty platitudes. And an irate former President Donald Trump confirmed that he was too touchy and easily triggered. The ABC moderators proved they were predictably and shamelessly biased.

The debate tone was set with the first question. Debate co-moderator David Muir, ABC's news managing editor, asked Vice President Kamala Harris: "I want to begin tonight with the issue voters repeatedly say is their No. 1 issue ... When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?" It is not just a simple question. It is THE central question of the race – given that most voters cite the economy as their #1 issue. Harris whiffed, badly – and failed to answer directly.

But ISIS and others are coming here – hell, they are already here and are greeted with open arms by the Democratic administration. You need to understand that. And it’s not only the Muslim terrorists. We now have the Tren de Aragua gang as well to add to other gangs, like MS 13, that the Democrats have imported as part of their program of cultural enrichment. This particular criminal gang has taken over parts of Aurora, Colorado, where it has occupied a bunch of apartment buildings.
