Schumer’s time as Senate Majority Leader is running out. There’s not denying it this time.

Because Chuck Schumer’s career is over thanks to his role in this heinous scandal.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is under intense scrutiny following accusations that he urged Columbia University administrators to suppress criticism over their handling of violent incidents and antisemitism on campus in response to Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

The GOP-led House Education and Workforce Committee recently released a 325-page report claiming that Schumer advised former university president Minouche Shafik to downplay Republican concerns, allegedly assuring her that the institution’s “political problems are really only among Republicans.”

According to the report, Schumer’s staff also encouraged Columbia’s leadership to “keep heads down” and avoid further attention to the issue.

Prominent voices have condemned Schumer’s reported actions, with former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat-turned-Republican and founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, calling Schumer “nothing but a kapo traitor” and criticizing him for abandoning Jewish communities.

“He is a traitor to America. He is a traitor to the Jewish people. Shame on him!” Hikind stated. He also claimed this was emblematic of the Democratic Party’s direction.

The House report comes after months of investigation into how various universities, including Columbia, Harvard, Yale, and Northwestern, responded to anti-Israel protests. Emails and text exchanges from university leaders, including Shafik, who stepped down in August, were examined.

According to the report, the correspondence reveals that university officials felt bolstered by Schumer’s support to avoid engaging with Republican concerns.

In messages with Columbia’s Board of Trustees co-chairs, David Greenwald and Claire Shipman, Shafik allegedly described Schumer as “very positive and supportive (and quite the storyteller).”

A spokesperson for Schumer dismissed the report as “flat-out false,” arguing that the senator has been vocal against antisemitism both publicly and privately, stating, “Sen. Schumer regularly and forcefully condemned antisemitic acts at Columbia and elsewhere saying ‘when protests shift to antisemitism, verbal abuse, intimidation, or glorification of Oct. 7 violence against Jewish people, that crosses the line.’ He conveyed this point publicly and to administrators privately.”

Angelo Roefaro, Schumer’s spokesperson, insisted that claims to the contrary were hearsay.

Columbia’s campus has reportedly become increasingly hostile to Jewish students since the October 7 massacre. According to an August university report, Jewish students have faced harassment, stalking, and verbal abuse, with some even having their jewelry ripped off while on their way to synagogue.

The campus also saw an incident in April when anti-Israel demonstrators barricaded themselves inside Hamilton Hall, attempting to rename it after a Palestinian child victim of the conflict. The protest resulted in over 100 arrests after university officials requested police assistance.

In response to these findings, Ari Shrage, leader of the Columbia Jewish Alumni Association, expressed his disappointment, asserting, “The report is more evidence of what we already knew: Columbia did not do their job to prevent antisemitism on campus. Unfortunately, the report also shows that many of its insiders are part of the deep institutional rot.”

The recent developments have further galvanized voices calling for change in leadership.

Republican Senate candidate Mike Sapraicone noted that Schumer’s alleged actions represented a reason for his campaign against “rubber-stamp” Democratic politicians, stating to the New York Post, “The recent report from the House Committee on Education and the Workforce demonstrates how the Democrats speak out of both sides of their mouths.”

“The reports of Sen. Schumer dismissing blatant violence and antisemitism are exactly why I’m running to replace his counterpart, who is just a rubber stamp. Election Day will prove that Americans won’t tolerate any longer.”

Further complicating matters, the House report also disclosed that Ivy League administrators made “an intentional decision” to soften language condemning Hamas’ October attack, removing the words “violence” and references to Israeli hostages from official statements.

The Left can’t hide from the truth. Their lies will only go so far.

And now Karine Jean-Pierre tucked her tail and rain after being asked the one question she can’t answer.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was immediately put on the defensive Wednesday after flatly denying that President Biden had labeled Trump supporters as “garbage.”

During a virtual campaign call Tuesday with Voto Latino, Biden took a direct swing at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s offensive jokes—going as far as to call Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”—had already sparked outrage. Biden piled on, saying, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

Commenting on this shocking display, Biden continued, “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.”

But at the White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre scrambled to put out the fire:

“Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage,” she said, robotically repeating a “statement” Biden had issued to soften the remarks.

“He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage,” she added, insisting Biden is “a president for all,” conveniently glossing over how voters in “red states and blue states” might actually feel.

However, critics weren’t buying what Jean-Pierre was selling, with some questioning whether she actually thinks the public would swallow such an unconvincing defense.

“Breaking wind from BSNBC!” former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee blasted:

“5 Alarm fire at the WH when KJP’s pants catch fire in spontaneous combustion after she claims Joe didn’t really call Trump supporters ‘garbage.’ She does know that we can see the video for ourselves? That we aren’t as clueless as her boss is?”

Bo French, Tarrant County GOP chair, also voiced his frustration:

“It amazes me more people aren’t appalled by the outright lies these people tell. We watched the video. He clearly called us garbage. I have a feeling the swing voters are done with this kind of BS.”

Video journalist Nick Sortor hit a similar tone in his tweet:

“JUST IN: Karine Jean-Pierre, while dressed as a piece of Laffy Taffy, says Biden ‘was not calling Trump supporters garbage.’ … even though it’s LITERALLY ON VIDEO. Again, these people think you’re stupid. Vote accordingly.”

Even White House reporter Anthony Hughes wasn’t impressed, calling Jean-Pierre’s remarks “ridiculous.”

And podcaster Matt Bilinsky saw it as a clear win for Trump, quipping, “Man was this a gift to Trump.”

It seems Jean-Pierre’s excuse tour has only confirmed to many voters that the Biden administration is out of touch, thinking Americans are blind to what’s right in front of them.

The election is almost here. And there’s no telling what’s going to happen.

But now RFK Jr. revealed details of a secret conversation with Donald Trump that could change everything.

In a bold move to shake up Washington’s public health and agriculture systems, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shared that former President Donald Trump intends to give him “control” over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) if he returns to office.

Kennedy revealed that Trump “promised” him authority over “public health agencies, which are HHS and its sub-agencies, CDC, FDA, NIH, and a few others,” as well as the USDA.

The comments appeared in an online video, sparking discussions about Trump’s commitment to appoint leaders willing to take on systemic issues head-on.

Kennedy later clarified in a message reported by The New York Times that the video was part of an internal talk with campaign workers on get-out-the-vote efforts for Trump, underscoring the seriousness of his dedication to the Trump administration’s goals.

“I stand ready to help him rid the public health agencies of their pervasive conflicts and corruption and restore their tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science,” Kennedy asserted in a statement.

Though no official decisions about Cabinet roles have been finalized, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the former president’s eagerness to “work alongside passionate voices like RFK Jr. to Make America Healthy Again” by prioritizing family safety and ending the chronic disease epidemic harming children.

After initially pursuing a Democratic presidential run and then an independent bid, Kennedy dropped out to support Trump fully.

“When @realDonaldTrump gets me inside the USDA, we’re going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms,” Kennedy posted, promising a fresh approach to agriculture in a Trump-led administration.

In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Trump affirmed his dedication to bringing Kennedy into his administration, confirming, “I am.”

At his rally in Madison Square Garden, Trump emphasized his plan to let Kennedy “go wild on health,” particularly in areas concerning food and medicine reform.

“One of the first things I will do once we get @realDonaldTrump back in the White House and me to D.C. is to get ultra-processed foods out of school lunches,” Kennedy announced, highlighting one of many anticipated changes in a revitalized approach to public health.

Kennedy has been vocal about reforming regulatory agencies like the CDC, NIH, FDA, and USDA, which he says “have become sock puppets for the industries that they’re supposed to regulate.”

Together with Trump, he intends to “replace the corrupt industry-captured officials with honest public servants,” signaling a new era in American health and agriculture leadership.

And who can argue with him?

After years or COVID hysteria that gripped the news waves, lockdowns, and seemingly unfixable chronic health epidemic, can we really say the current system is working?

Come on. Americans are smarter than that.

Walz has proven to be an unserious politician. He’s doing more harm than good for Kamala Harris’s campaign.

And Tim Walz was caught defending Biden for saying this appalling thing about Trump supporters.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz stood by President Biden’s controversial remarks calling Trump supporters “garbage” on Wednesday, though other Democrats scrambled to contain the fallout.

Biden’s words, delivered just days before the 2024 election, have sparked debate within party ranks about the impact of such rhetoric.

When asked on “CBS Mornings” if Biden’s comment was a sign he should “maybe be sidelined,” Walz, 60, quickly replied “no.” The Minnesota governor attempted to downplay the controversy, noting the separate roles of Biden and his running mate, Vice President Harris.

“President Biden’s the president of the United States. He’s running it,” Walz explained, emphasizing that “Vice President Harris is our candidate and will be the next president. And I think there’s two different positions there.”

He added, “The vice president is out speaking about the things that we need to be done for the country…And the president is doing what he needs to do, and that’s making sure our country is reducing inflation… So no, it doesn’t.”

On a call with the voter mobilization group Voto Latino, Biden had declared, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” condemning Trump’s “demonization of Latinos” as “unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

While Biden’s words provoked swift reactions, the White House quickly issued a transcript, which inserted an apostrophe, appearing to direct the criticism toward comments from a “supporter’s” rather than all Trump supporters.

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates clarified in a statement, “The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage.’”

Biden himself echoed this attempt at clarification in a social media post, noting, “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it.”

Still, Biden’s remark has left Democrats split. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed disapproval, saying, “I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn’t support.”

Democratic insiders worry that Biden’s comments may harm the party’s efforts in this final campaign stretch.

“Biden seems completely out of the picture at this point and walled off from the campaign,” one operative said to the New York Post, acknowledging the challenge but adding that “Trump obviously didn’t do himself any favors with that rally.” Another Democratic insider voiced concern that Biden’s “gaffe machine” image is an ongoing issue.

For some in Biden’s base, the president’s comment didn’t go far enough. Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, a prominent Harris supporter, remarked, “Garbage is an understatement for MAGA extremists.”

As Election Day approaches, Democrats are keenly aware of the risks of echoing Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” remark in 2016.

With Harris, 60, polling just behind Trump nationally and slightly behind in key swing states, the party faces a critical balancing act.

The impact of Biden’s words will soon be tested at the polls, and could be very detrimental to the Democrat Party.

This election was already contentious. But now it’s getting dangerous.

Because a terrorist attack on US voters left the entire nation reeling.

An unknown arsonist in the Pacific Northwest set fire to three voting boxes, which contained incendiary devices labeled “Free Gaza”.

On Oct. 28, an unknown person set fire to a Vancouver, Washington, ballot box, destroying an unknown number of ballots and damaging over 500 others.

The suspect or suspects who set fire to the Vancouver vote box with incendiary devices have been linked to two other fires that damaged a ballot box in Portland, Oregon, on Monday, as well as an Oct. 8 fire at another ballot drop box in Vancouver.

“There was enough evidence collected at all three scenes that lead us to believe that all three incidents are connected, and we cannot get into more detail,” Mike Benner, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau, said following the two latest arson attacks on Monday.

According to the New York Times, all three incendiary devices had a pro-Gaza message.

The New York Post also stated that a note reading “ALL DROP BOXES WILL BURN. FREE GAZA” was discovered at the site of the Vancouver ballot box fire on Monday.

The attack on election security in Portland and Washington by a suspect who appears to be a pro-Palestinian activist comes after years of radical agitation in both locations.

During the Black Lives Matter marches, leftists in Portland erupted in riots over a “summer of rage” that included looting and vandalism.

Similar riots erupted in Washington, with BLM supporters seizing control of several blocks in Seattle and establishing them as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or “Chaz.”

The riots killed several people in Washington and Portland.

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 civilians, the region has experienced renewed turmoil.

Pro-Palestinian activists set up encampments at many universities to protest Israel’s attack in Gaza, with tense protests at the University of Washington and Portland State University turning violent.

Authorities have yet to catch the person who destroyed the vote boxes in Vancouver and Portland, and it is unknown whether they were an anti-Israel protester.

Officials are examining the event to see if the mystery arsonist inscribed “Free Gaza” on the incendiary devices to foment dissent before confirming the offender was a pro-Palestinian activist, according to New York Times reports.

Meanwhile, Portland Police Bureau Assistant Chief Amanda McMillan stated during a news conference Monday that the fires are “targeted” and voiced concern that they are “trying to impact the election process.”

The FBI’s Seattle branch is investigating the arson attacks.

In a few days, we will know who will lead this country. But a 9th-inning change up could have dire consequences.

Because a bombshell Supreme Court case turned 2024 on its head.

The Supreme Court issued a ruling Wednesday allowing Virginia to remove hundreds of names from its voter rolls, supporting an effort aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting in the upcoming election.

This unsigned order reversed two lower court rulings that previously determined the removal of over 1,600 registered voters—done at the direction of Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin—was illegal.

The Court’s three liberal justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor, opposed the decision, signaling they would have upheld the lower court rulings.

As is typical with emergency appeals, the justices did not provide reasoning behind their order.

Former President Donald Trump strongly criticized the lower court rulings that blocked these registration removals, calling them on social media “a totally unacceptable travesty,” and stressing:

“Only U.S. Citizens should be allowed to vote.”

Governor Youngkin initiated the removal of these names on August 7, the final possible day before election restrictions on such actions took effect.

According to the National Voter Registration Act, voter registrations cannot be canceled within 90 days of an election—known as the “quiet period”—to ensure mistakenly removed individuals have adequate time to resolve any issues.

U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles of Alexandria had previously intervened, blocking the purge and instructing election officials to notify the affected voters by Wednesday that their registrations were reinstated.

Giles emphasized that individuals could still be removed individually, but not through an extensive, sweeping action.

In response to the Supreme Court decision, Youngkin called it “a victory for commonsense and election fairness,” adding:

“Clean voter rolls are one important part of a comprehensive approach we are taking to ensure the fairness of our elections.”

Danielle Lang from the Campaign Legal Center, which sued alongside the Justice Department and other advocacy groups to challenge Youngkin’s action, noted that Virginians can still register and vote in person at their polling place on Election Day, November 5.

Lang criticized the decision, saying:

“The Supreme Court allowing Virginia to engage in a last-minute purge that includes many known eligible citizens in the final days before an election is outrageous.”

Nearly 6 million Virginians are registered to vote as the election approaches.

The Biden-Harris administration has made the world a dangerous place. And it’s about to get much worse.

Because the Pentagon made a sobering war announcement that is putting Americans on their heels.

The Biden-Harris administration’s Pentagon has made it clear: there will be no restrictions on Ukraine’s use of American weapons if North Korean troops join Russia in the battlefield.

This firm stance from the Department of Defense raises questions about the long-term consequences of such an open-ended support strategy.

In mid-October, the Pentagon pledged another $425 million in weapons and supplies to Ukraine, including missiles and artillery, as part of an ongoing commitment to prop up Ukraine’s defenses against Russia.

Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh addressed the possibility of American weapons being used against North Korean forces, if they were deployed to the front lines.

When asked if there would be any limitations under such conditions, her response was straightforward: “No.”

“If North Korea – if we see DPRK troops moving in and towards the front lines, I mean, they are co-belligerents in the war,” Singh said, making it clear that these North Korean forces would be legitimate targets.

“And so, they are fighting on these front lines and the Ukrainians are defending their sovereign territory and pushing the Russians back.”

Singh added, “That is a calculation that, you know, DPRK leadership is making to send their soldiers into combat.”

She continued by reaffirming the administration’s broad commitment:

“We’ve made a commitment to Ukraine that we’re going to continue to support them with whatever it takes.”

The Pentagon estimates around 10,000 North Korean soldiers have already entered Russia.

According to Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, many have moved closer to Ukraine’s border, with several thousand already stationed in the Kursk region.

“We remain concerned that Russia intends to use these soldiers in combat or to support combat operations against Ukrainian forces in Kursk,” Ryder stated.

This move, he noted, underscores “the dire situation that Russia finds itself in” as it now leans on foreign troops to sustain its campaign.

While the administration remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine, critics argue that Biden and Harris are pushing the U.S. into a deeper and more complex conflict, with fewer safeguards and potentially greater risks of escalation.

This absence of restraint could amplify the chances of a broader war, with American-supplied weaponry now potentially directed at not just Russian forces but also foreign soldiers fighting for Moscow.

The Trump family is a tight-knit machine. That’s why no one was expecting this.

And now Eric Trump confessed one truth about his father that is raising eyebrows.

Eric Trump recently laid out his father’s potential priorities if elected on Nov. 5, making clear that former President Donald Trump is uninterested in pursuing legal action against Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to the Daily Mail from Palm Beach, Florida, the younger Trump emphasized that his father’s focus is far removed from retribution.

“He would want nothing to do with prosecuting Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton,” Eric Trump said. “He doesn’t give a damn. He wants these games to end.”

Instead, Eric painted a picture of Trump’s vision for America: a “safe, prosperous world and a fruitful society.”

His father’s goals include restoring functionality to the country and winning on critical fronts like education, safety, the economy, and military strength.

“He wants to win on education, safety, economy, military. He doesn’t want to go into senseless wars,” he added.

According to Eric Trump, Donald Trump’s aim isn’t revenge; it’s respect from the world stage.

Despite relentless political attacks on his father, including the infamous “Russia hoax” orchestrated by Clinton’s campaign, Eric maintains that Donald Trump remains focused on positive change for the country, not retaliation.

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, is currently embroiled in numerous legal troubles.

He pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges in September and could face up to 17 years behind bars for those offenses.

In a separate case, he was convicted on three felony counts tied to a 2018 gun purchase, with potential penalties adding up to 25 years.

Hunter’s sentencing is set for December, and President Biden has pledged not to pardon him.

Although Eric Trump claims his father has no interest in retribution, Donald Trump himself hasn’t ruled out the possibility of clemency.

In a recent interview with Fox News’ Bill Melugin, Trump commented on the situation, saying:

“I wouldn’t do anything that would be overt in terms of Hunter. It’s a sad situation. But I could have done that with Hillary Clinton… certainly could do it with Hunter or whatever. But I don’t want to do it with Hunter either, and I’ll bet you the father probably pardons him.”

When asked if he would rule out pardoning Hunter Biden, Trump said, “I wouldn’t take it off the books.”

We’re less than a week from the election. There isn’t any room for screwing up.

And now Kamala got caught on a hot mic that left Democrats hitting the panic button.

Vice President Kamala Harris was caught off guard when she realized her conversation with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer about her campaign’s struggle with male voters was being picked up by a microphone.

During a serious discussion at Trak Houz Bar and Grill in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Harris and Whitmer seemed unaware of the cameras and mics around them, leading to a moment that has since circulated widely online.

“So, my thing is we need to move ground among men,” Harris was heard telling Whitmer before she noticed the mics.

“Oh, we have microphones in here just listening to everything,” Harris remarked, appearing flustered.

“I didn’t realize that!”

Fox News reached out to her campaign for clarification on the comment, as Harris’s team works to address a gender gap in the race.

According to Fox News’s Gillian Turner, this moment represents a critical opportunity for both Harris and former President Trump to address the growing divide in support, which has widened since Harris’s nomination.

The latest New York Times polls show Harris with a lead among women voters, at 54% to Trump’s 42%, while Trump holds an advantage among male voters, leading 55% to Harris’s 41%.

Last week, Harris sidestepped questions about her diminishing support among men in an interview with NBC’s Peter Alexander.

When asked why there seemed to be a disconnect, Harris initially pointed to her live audiences as proof of diverse support.

She emphasized that she’s committed to earning every American’s vote.

Alexander pressed her further on the gap with male voters, but Harris said that wasn’t her experience on the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, a recent GenForward poll from the University of Chicago revealed that Trump has gained ground with specific demographics, showing that 26% of Black men aged 18 to 40 would vote for him, compared to only 12% of Black women.

This represents a notable shift, as Black voters overwhelmingly supported Biden over Trump in 2020.

Trump is also seeing improved support among young Latino men, with 44% indicating they would vote for him, up from around 38% in 2020.

Despite these gains, Harris leads Trump overall, 47-35, in the same poll, which included substantial samples of young voters of color.

Kamala and Gretchen Whitmer are caught on a hot mic at their very cringe drinking beer at bar scene:

"We need to move ground among men."

Then realizes they are probably getting recorded…

The former first lady is coming back to the spotlight in a big way. Now she’s turning heads.

And Melania Trump dropped jaws with this bombshell appearance.

Former First Lady Melania Trump is feeling a renewed wave of optimism for the 2024 presidential race, comparing the excitement and energy to what she saw back in 2016 when her husband, former President Donald Trump, first captured the White House.

In an exclusive interview with Fox & Friends before a live audience, she discussed her outlook on the election, the toll recent attempts on her husband’s life have taken on her, and the success of her bestselling memoir.

“I feel it’s kind of the same like 2016, the support out there,” she said.

“It’s incredible and… people see what’s going on in the country and what kind of leadership they want… They want prosperity. They want [the] American dream coming back, so that’s what we will decide on November 5th.”

Melania explained that she’s much more prepared this time around. “I’m not anxious because this time is different,” she said.

“I have much more experience, much more knowledge. I was in the White House before. So when you go in, you know exactly what to expect. You know what kind of people you need to get. You need to have people that are on your team that they have the same vision as me and to serve me because they serve the country.”

Polls show Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump running neck-and-neck across crucial swing states, with record-breaking early voting already underway.

Both candidates have been crisscrossing the nation, stopping in key states like Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to rally support in the final days.

“He loves his country, and he wants to make it successful,” Melania said about her husband’s drive.

“And for all of the people… he loves people and he wants to make this country great again.”

Although her outlook is positive, she acknowledged that today’s political environment is “much more dangerous” after her husband survived two assassination attempts in recent months.

“It is different. It’s much more dangerous,” she noted. “And I am very vigilant and very selective where I go, what do I do.”

Reflecting on the uncertainty of life, she shared, “I always said to him… ‘Good luck and be safe,’” adding, “You never know what kind of phone call you will receive and what can happen in life. Life is fragile, and we need to enjoy it every day.”

The first lady also responded to calls for restraint in political rhetoric from top Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Vice President Harris, following allegations that her husband’s recent rally in Madison Square Garden resembled a Nazi gathering.

“It’s terrible. He’s not Hitler, and all of his supporters, they’re standing behind him because they want to see [the] country successful,” she asserted.

Alongside her campaign support, Melania’s memoir—sharing her journey from childhood to her White House years—has been met with resounding success, topping both Amazon’s and the New York Times’ bestseller lists.

“It’s important that people hear my story because it’s a lot of misinformation and a lot of mistruths out there,” she explained. “So that’s why I wrote the book… I always wish the best [for] all these people… They need to heal… I wish them all the best.”

In the memoir, she also addresses betrayals, specifically from a friend and adviser who published a tell-all book in 2020. “It’s betrayal, but they show the world who they are.

They need to go to sleep every night, and they know what they did,” Melania stated, adding, “To tape the first lady of the United States on the phone calls and release them to the public and edit those phone calls, it’s a disgrace, and it should never happen to anybody.”

Melania is releasing a special collector’s edition of her memoir, hand-signed and featuring exclusive photos taken on her iPhone during her White House years, giving readers an even more personal glimpse into her story.

America’s enemies are on the move. And the Biden-Harris administration seems poised to do nothing about it.

And now China leveled a nuclear threat against the US that Democrats can’t ignore.

China is on a fast track to double its nuclear arsenal to 1,000 warheads over the next five years, a new Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report reveals.

Back in 2020, the DIA had estimated China held around 200 nuclear warheads, projecting that number to double by the decade’s end.

Now, the agency reports China has already amassed 500 warheads and is on course to exceed 1,000 by 2030.

“China is undergoing the most rapid expansion and ambitious modernization of its nuclear forces in history,” the report notes, though it acknowledges that China’s nuclear capabilities still trail those of the U.S. and Russia.

Over the weekend, China also conducted another “combat control” near Taiwan, flexing its military might in response to a $2 billion U.S. arms deal with Taiwan, which includes an advanced air defense system recently tested in Ukraine.

Taiwan’s defense ministry reported 19 Chinese aircraft, including Su-30 fighter jets, conducting “joint combat readiness patrols” around the island, supported by Chinese warships.

The report aligns with the Pentagon’s 2023 assessment of China’s military growth.

Russia currently holds about 1,550 deployed strategic warheads and 2,000 non-strategic ones, while China remains behind.

Following China in the nuclear arms race are France, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea.

“Compared to the PLA’s nuclear modernization efforts a decade ago, current efforts dwarf previous attempts in both scale and complexity,” the report adds.

U.S. officials have tried repeatedly to engage China in discussions on its nuclear expansion but report no clear answers from Beijing.

Under President Xi Jinping, China has intensified its competition for global power with the United States.

While Beijing has traditionally maintained a “no first use” (NFU) nuclear policy and has called for other nuclear powers to adopt a similar stance, the new report suggests that “Chinese nuclear thinkers could be reconsidering their long-standing view that nuclear war is uncontrollable.”

According to the DIA, if a conflict over Taiwan—regarded by Beijing as Chinese territory—escalated to an existential threat, China might consider nuclear options.

The report suggests China’s confidence in its military capacity could lead it to accept “greater risk” as its nuclear strategy matures, including exploring low-yield nuclear warheads intended for “proportional” response scenarios.

With “PLA officers downplaying the risks of imperfect information management during crises,” the report highlights a troubling scenario where Beijing, bolstered by growing capabilities, might misjudge its adversaries’ responses and take on greater risks.

The Pentagon faces a pivotal deadline in 2027, the year Chinese leadership has set as the goal for possessing the capability to invade Taiwan.

Amid mounting nuclear anxieties globally, Iran’s nuclear ambitions continue, with Tehran rapidly expanding its uranium enrichment, though the report asserts that Iran “almost certainly” has yet to achieve nuclear weapons capability.

Meanwhile, North Korea’s recent support for Russia in Ukraine has raised concerns that Moscow could be aiding Pyongyang’s nuclear programs, further complicating the nuclear landscape and prompting a closer global watch on these intensifying nuclear dynamics.

Democrats are fighting each other. Trump doesn’t even have to try if they can’t agree amongst themselves.

And now AOC kicked Kamala’s legs out from under her in the most critical moment.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made it clear she isn’t thrilled about Vice President Kamala Harris teaming up with former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney in her campaign push.

Speaking on CNN with host Kate Bolduan, Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged the frustration many on the left feel with Harris’s latest strategy of touting Cheney as a “true patriot.”

Asked if Cheney’s involvement could alienate left-leaning Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez responded, “there’s plenty of people that aren’t happy about that, and I think that is part of the nature of putting together a coalition.”

She added, “I don’t love it, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t on the same team and we aren’t on the same page when it comes to who is unequivocally the better candidate in order to win the presidential election.”

Progressive Democrats, according to recent reports, are unsettled by Harris’s choice to elevate Cheney on the campaign trail rather than rallying her core Democratic base.

Cheney, known for her anti-Trump stance, has shared the stage with Harris at multiple events, while high-profile progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., have been sidelined into “low-profile roles,” as reported by the AP.

“The truth of the matter is that there are a hell of a lot more working-class people who could vote for Kamala Harris than there are conservative Republicans,” Sanders told the AP, underscoring the sense that Harris’s reliance on Cheney may be missing the mark with traditional Democratic voters.

Despite this contention, Trump has made major inroads with working class voters.

In fact, he is making history with his commanding support among working-class voters, leading all GOP candidates in the past 40 years, according to a new poll.

Harry Enten, CNN analyst and host of Margins of Error, noted Trump is poised to achieve the strongest Republican showing among union voters in four decades. Harris currently leads Trump among union voters by just 9 points—a slim margin that Enten pointed out would mark “the worst Democratic performance in a generation.”

Union voter support for Democrats has been steadily declining over the years. While President Joe Biden captured union support by a 19-point lead in 2020, Bill Clinton won it by a full 30 points back in 1992.

Enten also highlighted Trump’s significant lead among vocational and trade school graduates, outpacing Harris by 31 points.

Though Harris retains an edge among non-college-educated voters of color, she leads by only 28 points, down from Biden’s 45-point margin in 2020.

“This is part of a larger trend that we’re seeing throughout our politics,” Enten explained on CNN, “in which Republicans, specifically Donald Trump, is doing very, very well among working-class voters.”

Enten went on to add, “The fact is, Donald Trump seems to have gone into a hotbed of traditional Democratic support and made a lot of movement in ways I don’t think a lot of people would have thought when he went down that escalator just back in 2015.”

In recent years, working-class allegiance has swung increasingly toward Republicans, eroding the once-solid support Democrats enjoyed among blue-collar workers.

Trump’s 2016 victory was widely credited to his strong working-class backing, which he has continually bolstered by positioning Democrats as disconnected elites, far removed from the realities facing everyday Americans.
