Democrat former ally flips the script on Kamala and she’s steaming mad

0

Harris’ poll numbers are flagging. She can’t stand to see anymore bad press.

But now a Democrat former ally flips the script on Kamala and she’s steaming mad.

HBO host Bill Maher didn’t mince words when he assessed Vice President Kamala Harris’ struggling prospects in the 2024 presidential race, calling it a bad omen for the Democrats as they scramble to drum up support for her among Black men just weeks before Election Day.

Harris, who has continuously failed to connect with key voter bases, is now seeing cracks even among a demographic that should naturally support her.

During Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the comedian hit hard, saying, “It’s not looking that great for the Democrats,” opening his show with a brutal commentary on the race.

He pointed out the obvious problem:

“This is not a good sign… when you have an African American candidate, you probably shouldn’t be having to shore up your support among Black men, but that’s what’s going on.”

Harris’ appeal among Black male voters, or lack thereof, took center stage this week, especially after former President Barack Obama felt the need to publicly chastise Black men for not getting behind Harris like they once did for him.

At a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Obama practically begged for enthusiasm, admitting, “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout… as we saw when I was running.”

He even suggested that gender might be a sticking point, saying, “I’m speaking to men directly… you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.”

Maher skewered the Harris campaign’s plan to send Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, out to connect with Black male voters.

In classic Maher fashion, he quipped, “Who better to connect with young Black men than Tim Walz? Because apparently Michael Bublé was unavailable.”

The audience erupted in laughter, and Maher took it even further, “Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s like, ‘Hello?’”

Maher also couldn’t resist poking fun at Obama’s latest attempt to rally voters.

“Obama even came out yesterday to scold… He was saying, ‘You gotta vote for Harris,’” Maher mocked.

But the comedian perfectly captured the absurdity of the situation with his final punchline, “It’s a tough choice… Harris is African American, but Trump has a sneaker line.”

Later in the show, Maher and his panel dissected Harris’ polling woes, pointing out that she’s lagging far behind where Biden was at the same point in 2020, despite having more resources at her disposal.

Maher didn’t hold back when comparing her to both Biden and Hillary Clinton, noting that Harris is only “2.6 points up” while Biden and Hillary were miles ahead in previous election cycles.

For Kamala Harris, the writing is on the wall, and not even Barack Obama’s scolding, or Tim Walz’s awkward outreach, seems to be enough to salvage a campaign that’s flailing in the home stretch.

This liberal billionaire’s plot against Donald Trump just blew up in his face

0

Democrats of all stripes and stations are trying to stop the former president. But so far, he’s bulletproof.

And now this liberal billionaire’s plot against Donald Trump just blew up in his face.

Mark Cuban’s weak attempt to bash Elon Musk for showing up at a Trump rally was met with little more than a shrug in a high-level group chat, The Post has learned.

Cuban, the outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was clearly in the minority among a powerful Signal chat filled with both conservative and liberal elites. The focus? Elon Musk’s undeniable involvement with Trump’s 2024 campaign, which seems to have rattled the left.

Musk’s staunchest supporter in the group is none other than Vivek Ramaswamy, who took Cuban to task after the “Shark Tank” star — a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris for president — posted a message to Musk on X, urging him not to trust Trump after attending a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

But Ramaswamy wasn’t the only one defending Musk. The chat, which includes heavy hitters like conservative stars Ben Shapiro, David Sacks, Joe Lonsdale, and Shaun Maguire alongside left-leaning voices like Jason Calacanis, Larry Summers, and David Shor, saw some lively debate, with members circulating rally memes for fun.

The political and tech elite have been buzzing about Musk’s bold endorsement of Trump ever since July, speculating whether other prominent figures might follow suit.

As Garrett Ventry, a Republican Public Affairs Executive, told The Post, “Elon Musk has a sizable following, significant influence, and ‘f–k you’ money. Having someone like Elon advocating for President Trump is a game changer.”

Musk’s presence at future Trump campaign stops before the November election isn’t just likely—it’s expected, sources say. One Trump campaign aide remarked, “The Trump campaign is losing ground in terms of spending. Elon can change that.”

Rally-goers agree that Musk and Trump are a natural fit. As attendee Brian Yanoviak put it, “He’s very intelligent, very innovative. He understands what’s happening to the United States. And he truly cares about the future of our country.”

Trump’s camp also sees the strategic advantage of Musk’s massive platform, X, which boasts over 200 million followers. Musk has been using it to amplify Trump’s message, much to the dismay of Democrats.

One key issue that aligns Musk and Trump even more closely is Biden’s administration blocking Starlink from receiving $900 million in subsidies to expand rural broadband—an inexplicable decision given Starlink’s success in Ukraine and its essential role during hurricanes, providing free service to isolated communities from Florida to Virginia.

Despite this, the Biden administration has funneled a staggering $42.5 billion into rural broadband with zero results.

“In 2021, Joe Biden tasked Kamala Harris with bringing broadband to rural America…. rural America was dying for it and he gave her $42 billion to do the job,” Trump said in a recent speech. “Three years later, not a single home has been connected to broadband… everyone is saying what happened to the money. $42 billion… not one home.”

Musk, meanwhile, has made it clear that backing Trump is about preserving democracy and reducing bloated federal spending.

Sources in the tech industry see Musk’s alliance with Trump as crucial, with one saying, “These days instead of ‘what’s good for General Motors is good for America,’ it’s what is good for Elon Musk is good for America.”

Trump has already said Musk will lead a special commission focused on slashing federal spending and reforming the government.

“Trump promised him he can slash government jobs… [the kind of projects] we would all [do] if we were the richest people,” a crypto source said.

With Musk on board, Trump’s vision for America’s future just got a lot brighter.

Trump misses a major election deadline that left Republicans holding their breath

0

Between assassination attempts and media attacks, Trump has a lot on his plate. But he rarely misses things that need to get done.

Because he missed a major election deadline that left Republicans holding their breath.

Despite pulling ahead in the polls, Donald Trump forgot to add his name to specific document.

According to state officials, Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, missed the deadline to submit a statement for the informational guide.

Former President Donald Trump might not be in Oregon’s voters’ pamphlet, but that’s hardly a setback for the 2024 GOP frontrunner who remains laser-focused on retaking the White House this November.

But make no mistake—Trump’s name will still be right where it counts: on the ballot.

While some in the media have tried to stir controversy over Trump’s absence from the pamphlet, the real issue seems pretty minor.

The campaign opted not to pay the $3,500 fee or send in a candidate statement by the deadline, as reported by the Oregon Capitol Chronicle.

Jackson County Clerk Christine Walker clarified:

“Please be aware that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance will not appear in the voters’ pamphlet for the upcoming November 2024 General Election,” as reported by the Rogue Valley Times.

But let’s be real—Trump doesn’t need a voters’ guide to reach people.

His connection with the American people goes beyond pamphlets and red tape.

Some falsely claimed this was a case of election interference, but the Oregon Secretary of State’s office did say they had reached out to Trump’s campaign several times ahead of the deadline.

Whether the campaign decided it wasn’t worth it or had bigger priorities, the absence from the pamphlet hardly dents Trump’s overwhelming presence on the national stage.

Other candidates, including Kamala Harris and Green Party’s Jill Stein, made it into the pamphlet, along with Robert F. Kennedy, who is no longer even in the race.

Meanwhile, Trump’s movement has always been about more than just traditional avenues like voters’ guides—it’s a grassroots-driven revolution that doesn’t rely on the usual playbook.

This isn’t the first time Trump opted out of an Oregon pamphlet; he did the same during the primary.

But, as always, Trump’s eyes remain on the bigger picture: winning back the Oval Office.

China was handed important secrets by this group of American traitors

0

Our enemies aren’t only challenging us abroad. They’re infiltrating the very fabric of this country.

And now China was handed important secrets by this group of American traitors.

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version with an anti-Chinese government leaning:

A Virginia school district has been exposed for selling out America’s educational integrity to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), allowing the CCP to replicate the curriculum and infrastructure of one of America’s top STEM schools, documents reveal.

Between 2014 and 2021, Chinese entities funneled $3.6 million into the Thomas Jefferson Partnership Fund, a nonprofit supposedly dedicated to improving Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

In return, China gained insider knowledge to construct a network of 20 STEM schools in China known as the “Thomas Schools,” shamelessly mimicking the Virginia institution down to its very logo.

The true extent of this treachery came to light only because of relentless pursuit by Parents for Defending Education (PDE), who, despite FCPS’s attempts to obstruct transparency with exorbitant fees, uncovered damning details through public records. National Review recently exposed these revelations, revealing a disturbing web of influence.

The Partnership Fund struck deals with the Ameson Foundation, whose founder, Sean Zhang, is linked to the CCP’s United Front Work Department—a notorious arm of CCP influence abroad—and Tsinghua University, known for its ties to the CCP and Chinese military.

These entities contributed significantly to the Fund, which reported revenue of $311,980 in 2021 and paid its executive director $185,000, according to tax filings.

FCPS has attempted to distance itself, claiming the Fund operates independently and the money was merely a donation. However, evidence suggests otherwise.

In 2018, an assistant principal at Thomas Jefferson noted a $1 million contract with Ameson aimed at aiding Chinese school replication efforts. Emails disclosed that agreements with Tsinghua, crafted with legal scrutiny, mandated facilitating ties between the university and TJPF, not merely charitable acts.

Despite FCPS’s assertions, the Partnership Fund operated from within Thomas Jefferson itself, with employees holding FCPS credentials and office space within the school. Requests under the agreement were processed by FCPS staff, divulging sensitive information inaccessible to the public.

The extent of CCP’s demands was staggering: requests for curriculum materials, lab equipment lists, and student project samples—often requiring covert means due to Chinese internet restrictions—illustrate the CCP’s predatory intent.

The Thomas Schools proudly declare their model as an adaptation of TJHSST’s curriculum and values, blending American educational prowess with Chinese cultural elements.

Their advisory committee boasts figures like Geoffrey Jones, TJHSST’s founding principal, alongside Chinese education officials with deep CCP ties.

China’s track record of exploiting educational platforms for propaganda is notorious, exemplified by their Confucius Institutes worldwide—while denying reciprocity to American institutions in China.

The CCP’s infiltration extends beyond educational mimicry; recent settlements like the University of Maryland’s $500,000 fine underscore pervasive CCP influence within American academia.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s office expressed deep concern over these revelations, highlighting the CCP’s insidious attempts to influence American education and plunder intellectual property. The Virginia Department of Education has pledged a thorough investigation.

FCPS assured National Review that ties with Ameson ceased in 2018 and vowed stricter controls over foreign donations—an attempt to mitigate fallout from this damaging exposure.

Tim Walz panics during interview after being exposed for making this absurd proposal

0

Kamala Harris is kicking herself. Her vice presidential pick is constantly embarrassing the campaign.

And Tim Walz was caught in a panic during an interview after he was exposed for making this absurd proposal.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently found himself in the spotlight after remarks he made at a California fundraiser earlier this week, where he advocated for the abolition of the Electoral College.

Speaking at a private event at the home of California Governor Gavin Newsom, Walz shared his thoughts on the U.S. presidential election process:

“I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go,” Walz stated, as reported by Bloomberg. “We need a national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in.”

His comments sparked swift reactions, given the complex nature of the debate surrounding the Electoral College.

Just two days later, Walz addressed the issue during an interview with ABC host Michael Strahan.

Strahan referenced the governor’s statement, asking about the discrepancy between Walz’s comment and the campaign’s official stance.

“You said, ‘I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go,’” Strahan recalled. “But the campaign came out later that night, and they said that’s not their stance.”

Walz didn’t deny this, agreeing with Strahan that the campaign’s position does not align with his off-the-cuff remark.

“The point I’m trying to make is that there’s folks that feel every vote must count in every state, and I think some of the folks feel that’s not the case,” Walz explained, adding, “We’re out there making the case that the campaign’s position is clear, that that’s not their position. Their position and my position is to make sure that everybody understands their vote, no matter what state they’re in, matters.”

When pressed by Strahan on whether he and Vice President Harris disagreed on the issue, Walz responded carefully: “Um, I have spoken about it in the past, that she’s been very clear on this, and the campaign and my position is the campaign’s position.”

In 2023, Walz took significant steps towards changing the current electoral system by signing Minnesota into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

This agreement would bind states to allocate all their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. However, the compact will only come into effect if enough states join to collectively reach 270 electoral votes.

A spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign clarified Walz’s recent remarks, explaining that the governor was speaking to “a crowd of strong supporters about how the campaign is built to win 270 electoral votes” and was expressing gratitude for the financial support fueling these efforts.

Despite the flurry of attention, the campaign reaffirmed its commitment to the Electoral College system as it stands.

The Electoral College, established by the Founding Fathers, assigns a number of electors from each state to vote for the president and vice president. In most states, the winner of the popular vote receives all of that state’s electoral votes, with the exceptions of Maine and Nebraska, which use a congressional district system.

Securing the presidency requires at least 270 electoral votes, and any significant change to the system would involve a major constitutional overhaul.

While debates over the Electoral College continue, Walz’s recent comments prove that he is not able to defend his insane policy proposals without making an embarrassment of himself.

Bizarre video of this top Democrat leaves both sides of the aisle scratching their heads

0

Politics usually divides us all. But this is so far out of left field that everyone agrees.

Because a bizarre video of this top Democrat left both sides of the aisle scratching their heads.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer sparked outrage Thursday with a baffling video that many are calling a disrespectful stunt.

In the clip, she feeds Doritos to liberal podcaster Liz Plank, a move that some say mimics the sacred Catholic sacrament of Holy Communion—an act of mockery that left many shaking their heads.

The video, shared on Plank’s Instagram, shows the left-wing influencer on her knees with Whitmer placing a Dorito on her tongue, all while Whitmer sports a camouflage Harris-Walz hat.

Critics quickly zeroed in on the disturbing resemblance to Communion, questioning Whitmer’s judgment.

Plank, the face of a pro-Harris influencer group laughably named “Hotties For Harris,” tried to inject some substance into the odd scene by making it about the CHIPS Act of 2022, a law intended to bolster U.S. semiconductor production.

But even her attempt to spin this into a policy moment fell flat.

“If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will. Chips aren’t just delicious, the CHIPS Act is a game-changer for U.S. tech and manufacturing,” Plank captioned the bizarre video.

The internet was ablaze with criticism, and for good reason. Many Catholics were outraged by the sacrilegious overtones, with Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters, emphasizing, “Many Catholics are going to see this as mocking the communion rail.”

Trump adviser Tim Murtaugh was equally blunt, noting, “Gov. Whitmer of Michigan is pretending to give communion to a leftist podcaster on her knees, using a Dorito as the Eucharist while wearing a Harris-Walz hat. Do they want ZERO Catholic votes for Harris?”

The stunt highlighted the sheer lack of respect the Democrats, led by Whitmer, have for religious communities.

Conservative commentator Liz Wheeler hit the nail on the head, saying, “It’s wild that some Christians refuse to vote when Democrats obviously loathe you… because you’re Christian.”

Adding to the embarrassment, the cringeworthy nature of the video overshadowed the actual message.

Republican state representative Bill G. Schuette sarcastically mocked the Democrats’ hypocrisy by referencing their criticism of GOP VP hopeful JD Vance, quipping, “Ya but JD Vance is ‘weird.’”

But the damage didn’t stop there.

Michigan Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt took aim at Whitmer’s priorities, noting, “Michigan Democrats are embroiled in controversy for $175 million they gave to a company affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party — and apparently Governor Whitmer’s response is to demonstrate that she’s lost her mind. Or maybe she’s trying to make Kamala Harris appear somewhat normal in comparison.”

Nesbitt was referring to Whitmer’s controversial support for the Gotion EV battery factory, which has raised serious concerns about its ties to China.

In a state already embroiled in controversy, Whitmer’s foolish stunt only adds fuel to the fire, highlighting her complete disregard for the values of her constituents.

Russian national caught embedded in the US for this terrifying reason

0

Is the Biden-Harris administration capable of defending this nation? It doesn’t look like it.

Because a Russian national was caught embedded in the US for this terrifying reason.

A shocking incident in Philadelphia has brought to light yet another example of the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to secure our communities.

A Russian national, 27-year-old Evgenii Sadrislamov, has been charged with manufacturing weapons of mass destruction after authorities uncovered a bomb-making lab in his rowhome.

The explosives, which could have “leveled a whole block,” were discovered after firefighters responded to reports of smoke at the property, according to Fox 29.

Under Biden’s watch, our cities have become more vulnerable than ever.

Philadelphia police found more than 50 pounds of homemade explosive devices, chemicals, and bomb-making literature inside Sadrislamov’s home.

Deputy Commissioner James Kelly III told reporters, “We really escaped a major tragedy on this one.”

But what about the next one? How long can we rely on sheer luck with a government that’s asleep at the wheel?

“This was a huge danger to the community, a rowhome possessed explosives that could have leveled a whole block,” said Assistant District Attorney Angela Brennan.

And yet, Biden’s so-called leadership continues to downplay these threats while our communities are placed in jeopardy.

Harris has done little to address these escalating domestic risks, focusing instead on promoting divisive policies.

Nearby residents were evacuated as a man and woman were rescued from the bomb-laden house. Sadrislamov, who turns 28 this weekend, is no stranger to these kinds of incidents.

In 2020, during Biden’s rise to power, he was already on probation for a similar offense after commercial-grade fireworks were found in his home.

Friday’s event, described by prosecutors as “a clear escalation,” could have resulted in catastrophic injury, death, and destruction, according to ATF Special Agent Eric DeGree.

Despite this, Sadrislamov’s mother insists her son only made fireworks as a “hobby.”

How many more “hobbyists” will slip through the cracks in a system riddled with the incompetence of the Biden-Harris administration?

Sadrislamov, a Russian immigrant, now faces charges of arson, possession of weapons of mass destruction, and related offenses.

Held on $950,000 bail, his hearing is set for Oct. 22 as ATF continues its investigation. How many more warnings will it take before Biden takes real action to protect Americans?

Kamala Harris is panicking after being hit with a devastating reality in this swing state

0

The wheels are coming off of Kamala’s campaign. She has no one to blame but herself.

And now she is panicking after being hit with a devastating reality in this swing state.

Democrats are beginning to panic over Vice President Kamala Harris’s crumbling support among black male voters—a critical demographic that’s now slipping away.

While Harris has seen gains among certain groups, such as black women and women in general, she’s losing ground fast with black men, who feel increasingly overlooked and even disrespected by her campaign.

In Detroit, more than three dozen black residents—mostly male strategists, activists, clergy, elected officials, and voters—spoke out, telling Politico that Harris’s outreach to black men has been disastrous.

They warned that the lack of attention could prove fatal to her campaign in November.

“I am worried about turnout in Detroit. I think it’s real,” said Jamal Simmons, Harris’s former communications director, sounding the alarm on a problem the campaign seems to be ignoring.

What’s worse, black men in Detroit described Harris’s efforts as patronizing and out of touch.

Many said that when they asked how a Harris presidency would improve their lives, they were met with condescending responses that questioned their intelligence.

Harris’s campaign, they claimed, is completely missing the mark, failing to connect with poorer neighborhoods and letting key opportunities slip through the cracks.

One glaring example? When Harris failed to speak at a crucial gathering of Detroit faith leaders, instead sending Rep. Jim Clyburn in her place, it was seen as a slap in the face.

“When you come to Detroit and you don’t meet with Detroit pastors, that’s a layup that you missed hard,” said Bishop Cory Chavis of Victory Community Church.

This isn’t just a Detroit problem. Harris’s struggles with black men are being echoed across key swing states, threatening to depress voter turnout in areas where even a few thousand votes could determine the outcome.

In places like Erie County, Pennsylvania—where Biden scraped by with fewer than 1,500 votes in 2020—her campaign’s lackluster efforts are causing concern.

One black male voter in Erie made it clear why he’s now backing Donald Trump, saying Trump is “factual,” while Harris’s campaign is too focused on issues like women’s rights.

“We don’t care about LGBT rights. We don’t care about, you know, abortion rights. We’re not worried about that,” the voter said bluntly. “They don’t offer anything to the straight black male voters.”

Trump, it seems, is capitalizing on Harris’s missteps. His support among black males, though still low, has doubled since 2016.

A recent poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 18% of black men now view Trump favorably, drawn to his unapologetic style and frustration over issues like immigration.

Eric Mays, a Detroit Manufacturing Systems worker, put it plainly at a gathering of black conservatives: “As they letting us go, they’re getting a busload of temporary workers—they’re all Mexican, none of them speak English. So they don’t care if we go on strike or not. We’ve been training these people to do our jobs.”

It’s a sentiment resonating with black men who feel left behind by Harris and her empty promises.

Last month, Harris tried to address the issue directly by speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia, where she said, “I think it’s very important to not operate from the assumption that black men are in anybody’s pocket. Black men are like any other voting group. You’ve got to earn their vote. So I’m working to earn the vote.” But for many, it seems, that effort is coming too late.

The 2024 election is shaping up to be even closer than 2020, with polls showing a tight race between Trump and Harris. But if Harris continues to alienate black male voters, her path to victory looks increasingly narrow.

Biden-Harris hand the Soros family a total victory that is impacting millions

0

The Soros family has been funding the Left for years. Now they’re getting their back scratched too.

And Biden-Harris handed the Soros family a total victory that is impacting millions.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee is now investigating why the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fast-tracked a deal that allowed a billionaire Democratic donor to acquire a significant number of American radio stations just weeks before the presidential election.

The move has raised eyebrows as the deal involves none other than George Soros, a well-known Democratic mega-donor.

Audacy Inc., a major radio company, found itself in financial trouble. Through a complex series of transactions, Soros has managed to take control of the stations.

Normally, deals of this magnitude require a thorough review process by the FCC, but in this instance, the approval was expedited, sparking concern.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr didn’t hold back at a Congressional hearing, saying, “… the FCC is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction.”

Carr explained, “We have established over a number of years one way in which you can get approval from the FCC when you have an excess of 25 percent foreign ownership, which this transaction does. It seems to me that the FCC is poised to create, for the first time, an entirely new shortcut.”

Carr’s comments shed light on the unusual speed at which the deal was moving.

House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) sent a letter to FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, voicing their concerns about the rushed approval.

The letter read: “Despite the unprecedented nature of this action, the FCC majority has apparently decided to approve licenses on an accelerated timeframe for a company in which George Soros has a major ownership stake, and with stations in 40 media markets reaching ‘more than 165 million Americans.’”

The lawmakers didn’t mince words, accusing the FCC of bypassing established processes to benefit Soros and his political influence just ahead of a critical election.

Critics argue that this deal gives Soros, a staunch liberal, too much power in influencing public opinion right before Americans head to the polls.

Mike Gonzalez, a former member of the George W. Bush administration and current Heritage Foundation fellow, raised alarms:

“I have no idea why Soros would do this unless it was to manipulate the thinking of Americans and the information they listen to.”

Gonzalez pointed to conservative talk radio as a key platform for conservative voices, noting, “Conservative talk radio is huge, and there is no left-wing talk radio because it’s just not interesting.

Conservative talk radio is one of the few communications that conservatives have not a monopoly on but have a strong handle on, and he has bought stations that have Mark Levin and Sean Hannity and Dana Loesch and Glenn Beck.”

Further complicating the deal, critics have also pointed out that Soros’ business partners include foreign entities, raising questions about external influence.

According to the letter from Reps. Comer and Langworthy, the Audacy Inc. deal “will lead to Audacy, Inc. being partially ‘directly or indirectly controlled’ by foreign individuals or entities holding ‘more than one-fourth of the capital stock,’” a scenario requiring careful FCC scrutiny to ensure the public interest is protected.

While media moguls like Jeff Bezos have faced scrutiny for their ownership of influential outlets like The Washington Post, Soros’ control over a vast number of radio stations may wield even more influence over the electorate, given the widespread reach of radio across the country.

Soros has long been one of the most strategic funders of left-wing causes in the U.S., and many believe this radio acquisition is a calculated move to extend his influence even further.

“I don’t know why else he would plunk a pile of money this size unless it was to try to have influence over the thinking of Americans,” Gonzalez said, further adding that Soros “is committed to left-wing causes.”

With the FCC facing serious questions and a Congressional inquiry underway, this deal is likely to remain in the spotlight as the election draws closer.

Trump campaign prepares new attack on Kamala Harris she’ll never see coming

0

Donald Trump has found a new path to victory. It’s one no one expected to open up.

That’s why the Trump campaign is preparing a new attack on Kamala Harris she’ll never see coming.

In Michigan, Republicans are seizing on Vice President Kamala Harris’ difficulties in connecting with blue-collar voters, a demographic that has historically leaned Democratic but is increasingly swaying towards former President Donald Trump.

Victoria LaCivita, Team Trump Michigan Communications Director, said of this: “Michigan’s working class isn’t fooled by Kamala Harris’ word salads and dog and pony shows. Her policies, like the radical Green New Deal, are anti-worker. Her attack on American energy has made the cost of living unaffordable, and her plan to ban gas-powered cars will decimate the backbone of our economy.”

As the upcoming election intensifies, the importance of Michigan as a swing state is underscored by the Real Clear Politics polling average, which shows Harris with a narrow lead of just 0.5 points. With less than four weeks until the election, Republican figures like Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, have made several campaign stops in the state.

Democratic leaders in Michigan, including Governor Gretchen Whitmer, have expressed concerns about Harris’ viability in the state and are urging her to increase her visibility and refine her economic messaging. An article in the Wall Street Journal highlights these worries, noting that prominent Democrats are advising the Harris campaign to concentrate efforts in Michigan as the election approaches.

Harris faces challenges in distancing herself from prior positions that have not resonated well in the so-called “Blue Wall” states, including her past support for transitioning to zero-emissions vehicles by 2035 and her stance on fracking. An internal poll shared with the Wall Street Journal indicated that Harris is trailing by three points in Wisconsin, another key Midwestern state that shares similar voting patterns with Michigan.

Former Michigan Governor James Blanchard emphasized the need for Harris to increase her visibility: “The big thing is people don’t know her—they need to see more of her.” Republicans argue that her failure to effectively reach out to blue-collar workers has allowed Trump to gain traction among this crucial voter base.

Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, noted that Harris’ message is not resonating with working-class voters in the upper Midwest, which could have implications for down-ballot Republicans in these critical states.

The vice president’s struggles extend to union members, a traditionally Democratic stronghold in Michigan. An internal poll from the Teamsters, one of the nation’s largest unions, revealed that 61.7% of members preferred Trump over Harris, who garnered just 35.2%. Notably, while national union leaders have refrained from endorsing a candidate this election cycle, they had supported Biden in 2020.

Despite losing ground with the Teamsters, Harris did secure endorsements from the United Auto Workers and the Service Employees International Union. LaCivita commented on the Teamsters’ poll results: “The Teamsters’ own polling shows exactly what we knew—that rank and file Michigan Teamsters are supporting President Trump and his pro-worker policies. While local chapter leadership refuses to disrupt the status quo, the Michiganders who make up these chapters want strong leadership that will protect their jobs, lower inflation, and support American industries—and that’s President Donald J. Trump.”

As the election draws nearer, the battle for Michigan’s working-class voters remains a focal point for both parties, reflecting the shifting dynamics of voter allegiance in this pivotal state.

Kamala Worse Off Than Biden In Race Against Trump?

Some anonymous Democrat officials have been murmuring in recent weeks that they are concerned the Party made the wrong decision to kick Joe Biden to the curb and install Kamala Harris as the nominee without any legitimate process to gird her campaign.

Joe Biden did in fact earn the nomination by earning the votes of tens of millions of Democrats, particularly those in the Rust Belt who delivered him his contentious win in 2020. They’ve called him “union Joe” for years for a reason.

Kamala Harris doesn’t have that same appeal with everyday Americans that both Donald Trump and Joe Biden do. She’s a prosecutor from California who truly doesn’t know how to connect with blue-collar workers and address their concerns at all. That’s why she’s so far underwater compared to Joe Biden.

Foreign infiltration of the Biden-Harris administration puts Capitol Hill on total lockdown

0

US politicians should be looking out for our interests. Instead they’re conniving with foreigners.

And now this infiltration of the Biden-Harris administration puts Capitol Hill on total lockdown.

Newly released documents reveal that senior Biden-Harris administration officials took cues from British “disinformation” operatives on how to collaborate with social media companies and create an all-encompassing government effort to combat content they disfavor, including information on elections and COVID-19.

This revelation, surfacing as Congress investigates potential censorship tactics by the executive branch ahead of the 2024 election, has sparked a legislative proposal from a House Republican to stop U.S. tax dollars from funding foreign governments that regulate online speech.

The National Security Council (NSC) hosted a private meeting with the U.K.’s Counter Disinformation Unit on August 21, 2021. The British unit, part of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, advised U.S. officials on strategies to counter “disinformation.”

America First Legal, a conservative watchdog group, obtained a slide deck shown during the meeting through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The slides, part of hundreds of pages of CDC documents, offer insight into the administration’s potential coordination with foreign governments to regulate speech.

The timing of this document release aligns with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.)—chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation—sending letters to President Biden and Vice President Harris requesting information on any political speech suppression campaigns the administration might be running.

Mace is also looking beyond U.S. borders, introducing the No Funds for Fascists Act to block taxpayer money from aiding foreign governments that suppress free speech. The bill would also prevent U.S. assistance to regimes that pressure social media platforms or news outlets to silence certain viewpoints.

“The Biden-Harris administration is so desperate to control speech and information that they’re actually taking advice from foreign governments on how to violate our core constitutional rights,” Mace told Fox News Digital.

“It’s extreme, over-the-top, and un-American. We introduced our ‘No Funds for Fascists’ bill in response to this.”

Michael Ding, counsel for America First Legal, said a congressional investigation into censorship and meetings with foreign governments “that have taken place and are likely still taking place” is critical.

He emphasized the global push to police speech under various banners, whether it’s “election misinformation or COVID-19 disinformation.”

Although the stated focus of the NSC’s 2021 meeting was combatting COVID-19 falsehoods, the British presentation expanded to election-related disinformation.

The British Counter Disinformation Unit boasted about their previous operational responses during the 2019 European elections, the U.K. general election, and other local elections, showing how they coordinate with social media firms, strategic communications teams, and analysis units.

The meeting involved top U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Department, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC, CIA, FBI, and others.

The CDC has declined to comment on the documents, and spokespeople for the NSC and the White House have remained silent on the matter.

The British Counter Disinformation Unit spans multiple departments and agencies, including foreign and domestic policy branches and intelligence services, and aims to present a unified government response to so-called misinformation.

The slide deck from the meeting advised the U.S. to create a similar government-wide unit and proposed regulatory measures targeting tech companies’ handling of misinformation, akin to the U.K.’s Online Safety Act.

One slide promotes the Online Safety Act as making the U.K. “the safest place in the world to be online, while defending the freedom of expression.”

However, Ding dismissed this as “gaslighting,” arguing that the real agenda is censorship. He also warned that U.S. policymakers should consider First Amendment implications, especially in situations where Britain might try to extradite violators of their speech laws.

The British slides also referenced the “duty of care” imposed on tech companies to protect individuals from harm, including disinformation, and suggested leveraging multilateral institutions like the United Nations, G7, and NATO to push this agenda on a global scale.

Secret Service’s hidden secret revealed and Donald Trump is furious

0

Trump has had two attempts on his life come to fruition. Who knows how many more there are.

And now Secret Service’s hidden secret revealed and Donald Trump is furious.

U.S. Secret Service officials have allegedly blocked federal auditors from Donald Trump’s campaign events to hide the fact that “the former president is not receiving a consistent level of protective assets,” according to new whistleblower claims.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) revealed these serious accusations in a letter to Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe on Tuesday, demanding immediate clarification on whether the agency is deliberately obstructing an internal investigation into Trump’s security detail.

“The whistleblower alleges that the Secret Service denied access to [Department of Homeland Security] auditors because the former president is not receiving the full level of protective assets for all of his events, and Secret Service leadership wants to obscure or simply conceal this fact,” Hawley wrote.

The whistleblower claims that DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) auditors have only been permitted to inspect “select events,” including a recent Trump rally in Wilmington, NC. This raises concerns about transparency in Trump’s security arrangements.

Hawley also informed DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari about the allegations, warning that the auditors have only been exposed to the Secret Service’s top-tier agents from the Presidential Protection Division.

“As you continue to audit the agency’s programs and activities, you should be aware of these allegations, which indicate that the Secret Service is not in fact cooperating with your auditors and is instead painting a false picture,” Hawley added.

Despite these troubling reports, Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe had previously assured the public that Trump, 78, would receive the “highest levels” of security—on par with President Biden—following two assassination attempts against the former president.

Rowe took responsibility last month for a significant security failure at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pa., where Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet fired by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.

However, he denied any security lapses in a separate incident on Sept. 15, when Ryan Wesley Routh allegedly lay in wait with an SKS-style rifle at Trump’s West Palm Beach, Fla., golf club.

During the July 13 Butler rally, counter-snipers were deployed for the first time after higher-ups received a “credible intelligence” threat, but agents on the ground were left in the dark, according to a Senate committee report released last month.

Since the near-disaster in Butler, Sen. Hawley has made public multiple whistleblower allegations, many of which were corroborated in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s report.

In the West Palm Beach incident, a vigilant Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel while walking ahead of Trump on the golf course, prompting the agent to open fire and causing Routh to flee before firing any shots.

Routh, 58, who had flown from Hawaii to Florida via North Carolina, had written a note outlining his assassination plan and was later apprehended and indicted.

Rowe praised the quick actions of the advance agent during a Sept. 20 press conference in Washington, D.C. “That young man is a very young agent early in his career. His vigilance, his reaction is exactly how we trained and exactly what we want our personnel to do,” Rowe said.

Adding to the alarming nature of the situation, Routh had also self-published a manifesto calling on the Iranian regime to assassinate Trump. This manifesto surfaced shortly after a Pakistani national, allegedly acting on behalf of Tehran, was arrested on July 12 for attempting to hire hitmen to kill the former president.

In response to these growing threats, President Biden recently signed a law introduced by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), which passed unanimously through Congress.

The legislation mandates uniform standards for determining the number of agents required to protect Presidents, Vice Presidents, and major candidates.

Trump returned to the Butler Farm Show grounds for another campaign event this past weekend, with an upgraded security presence. Whether or not these measures are enough to silence growing concerns over his protection remains to be seen.
