Philadelphia Dist. Attorney Larry Krasner on Monday filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk – now one of Donald Trump's most well-know supporters – accusing him of "running an illegal lottery in Philadelphia (as well as throughout Pennsylvania)." The lawsuit underscores the fears that Musk’s activism has generated among Democrats, liberals, various "government officials." Yet at a rally in Lancaster, PA., Musk doubled down on his commitment to Free Speech & Constitutional Values by announcing the 8th winner of his $1 million prizes.
Well… it takes a real special kind of person to not understand that energy is the basis of the U.S. Economy – of not only Texas, but the entire United States. Everything from food to clothes and housing construction materials count on energy to be produced – and when you attack fossil fuels, the core of all energy production, and drive up costs like you didn’t know that would happen, you're not just attacking the pocket books of every American and their families, she and the socialist elites could control the basic means of production – and capitalism dies.
October hasn't been a good month for Kamala Harris – or Democrats. The RealClearPolitics average, which only includes polls taken after Oct. 9th, put Harris' dwindling lead last week at 0.8%. After September's polls in the 7 Swing States showed Harris ahead in four of them – mid-October's polls showed her leading in just one, with Trump ahead in four and tied in two. Now Trump's ahead in all seven. If Harris holds a popular vote lead of less than 2%, Nate Silver's well-respected Poll Aggregation Model estimates she has only a 16% chance of winning.
Late-night comedian Stephen Colbert asked Kamala Harris: "Polling shows a lot of people, especially independent voters, really want this to be a change election. And they tend to break for you when thinking about change. You're a member of the present administration – so under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be, and what would stay the same?" Responded Harris: "Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden." According to a recent Marquette University poll, 79% of "Likely Voters" think the country is on the "wrong track."
If there was ever any real value to the “momentum” or "joy" or “vibes” that Kamala Harris's Campaign claimed, it's quickly becoming an express elevator to hell. The latest “bad vibes” seen in recent polls have given sudden rise to a growing chorus of terrified Democrat voices — particularly in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona & Georgia. Will this turn out to be a grandly ironic combination of premature panic or temporary confidence for Harris and Trump? The initial rush of July and August is proving incapable of even the slightest hint of electoral success.
In Pennsylvania, Republicans have a far greater ballot-chasing effort going. In Arizona last week, MSNBC reporter Vaughan Hillyard admitted his team couldn't find a single voter in line to cast Early Ballots who admitted voting for Kamala Harris. Despite numbers revealing how well Republicans are doing in some of the Battleground States – i.e., the numbers posted at NBC, which are obtained from Democrat-affiliated data company TargetSmart — in Arizona, Georgia & Nevada the numbers are even more depressing for Democrats.
Gasoline prices have nearly doubled, and restaurant and grocery store costs have shot upward as well. And, the Joe Biden & Kamala Harris White House (and everyone associated with the Democrat Party – including the press,) proudly touted "Bidenomics." They don’t do that much anymore. If elections come down to “It’s the Economy, Stupid,” then clueless Kamala will lose. Can Donald Trump really be at a point, as it now appears, to be the candidate who can settle back, keep his mouth shut if he can, and roll to victory? Can no one can blow it but him?
America, including millions of Democrats, were amazed over the weekend by former President Barack Obama’s blatantly racist appeal to young black men in Pittsburgh. At a rally for Kamala Harris, Obama essentially charged that failing to vote for Harris would be a dereliction of their duty as black men. To make things worse, the opinion wasn’t delivered as a petition – but as belligerent instruction, as though the men he was addressing were delinquent children who needed to be given orders. It's a reminder of how Democrats are racially divisive.
The unsteadiness and insecurity that were on display when she became the first candidate to embarrassingly flame out of 2020's Presidential Primary are presenting a deja vu moment. Its a moment of clarity where voters, major donors, and Democrat power brokers are being reminded of Kamala Harris's failings in 2024. I've spoken with three Democrat operatives behind the scenes who all believe the race is slipping away from her, and they offer four major reasons why it's happening. Much will come into focus over the next three weeks – sharply.
Here's one of the many vital issues voters should consider before they go to the polls on Election Day. Under Kamala Harris's tax plan, the number of Americans subject to the always-hated Family Businesses & Estate "Death Tax" would double or triple. Kamala has declared she'll let this, and many other Donald Trump tax cuts expire next year if she becomes president. Thanks to the Trump tax cuts, the first $13.6 million of an estate is currently exempt, and by contrast, Donald Trump has said he'll make tax relief permanent – and vibrantly intact.
She claims that her values haven’t changed. Concerning border security, that's a very dangerous proposition. If you include a previous stop in an El Paso airport hanger years ago, Kamala Harris's recent photo-op trip to the Southern Border of Arizona was only her second trip to the border – over which Joe Biden named her "Border Czar." Wandering around a border that had been cleaned up, and taking some pictures near the border wall that Trump built, shows how out of touch she is. Her nickname should be "!Que Mala" — meaning, how bad!
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).
