The U.S. southern border is a disaster right now. It can all be thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s awful immigration policies.

And a shocking new development emerges from the Biden/Harris southern border crisis.

Broken Cameras Along Southern Border Raise Concerns Over Unreported Migrant Crossings

Nearly 30% of the security cameras monitoring the U.S.-Mexico border are currently out of order, raising fears that the actual number of migrant “gotaways” — those who evade capture — may be far higher than official reports suggest.

According to a recent report by NBC News, around 150 of the 500 cameras in use are malfunctioning due to “several technical problems.” The news comes from an internal Border Patrol memo that highlights the challenges agents face as a result of the broken equipment.

“This nationwide issue is having significant impacts on [Border Patrol] operations,” the memo states, emphasizing how the outage is affecting day-to-day border

Since 2011, the federal government has relied on the cameras, which are part of the Remote Video Surveillance Systems, to monitor vast stretches of the border. These systems help reduce the need for hundreds of agents to patrol the area in person.

However, with a significant portion of the cameras offline, Border Patrol agents are now unable to monitor large parts of the border effectively.

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source told the New York Post that agents depend on these cameras to track and document migrants who manage to slip past border defenses — the so-called “gotaways.”

The source expressed concern, saying the true number of gotaways is likely “way more than reported” because the disabled cameras mean agents are missing critical footage.

Under the Biden-Harris administration, over 1.7 million gotaways have been recorded crossing into the U.S. illegally. However, as one CBP source noted, “no one knows the true number.”

“We are missing a bunch of traffic we should be detecting. Who knows what’s getting by,” added another source within the agency.

NBC reported that the camera failures are mainly due to old equipment and unresolved repair issues.

Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is responsible for maintaining the surveillance systems, has struggled to keep up with the necessary repairs. To address the issue, the agency is reportedly seeking a contractor to take over repair responsibilities.

The problem has not gone unnoticed by those on the ground. A chapter of the Border Patrol union in Laredo, Texas, recently raised alarms over the impact of the broken cameras on both border security and officer safety.

In a statement, the union said, “We hope this issue is resolved soon as the problem has been ongoing for quite some time!” They emphasized that American taxpayers have invested heavily in border technology and expect it to function properly.

While some repairs have already been completed, around 150 camera repair requests are still pending. In the meantime, CBP has been working to install roughly 300 new camera towers equipped with advanced technology, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to replace the aging systems.

A CBP spokesperson highlighted the agency’s efforts, saying, “CBP continues to install newer, more advanced technology that embraces artificial intelligence and machine learning to replace outdated systems, reducing the need to have agents working non-interdiction functions.”

The hope is that these new towers will bolster the Border Patrol’s ability to monitor the southern border effectively, but until the broken cameras are fully repaired, the fear remains that many migrants are slipping through unnoticed.

Trump is racking up supporters from all across the country. But this might be a game changer.

As Donald Trump has secured a massive endorsement that’s crippled the Harris campaign.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal has officially thrown its support behind former President Donald Trump for the upcoming November election. Their endorsement, detailed in a recent opinion piece, highlights several critical factors: the current administration’s failures with inflation, an ongoing border crisis, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s shifting policy stances.

Despite Trump’s actions – which they view as “disappointing and indefensible” – during the events of January 6, 2021, the newspaper argues that the issues under President Biden’s leadership warrant looking beyond Trump’s past controversies.

“The hurricane of history charts a chaotic course,” wrote the Review-Journal, encapsulating the political upheaval of recent months. According to the paper, both major political parties have been shaken, leaving voters “unsettled and apprehensive” as they navigate an uncertain political landscape.

The endorsement goes on to summarize a series of chaotic events that have transpired, including two failed assassination attempts on Trump, his conviction on 34 felony counts in New York, and the pivotal debate that led to President Biden’s withdrawal from the race. With Harris stepping in as the Democratic nominee, the Review-Journal criticizes the rapid attempts to reshape her public image.

“Thus began one of the more cynical and ambitious rehabilitation efforts in the history of modern politics,” the paper stated.

It describes Harris as an unpopular figure being rebranded as a figurehead of optimism and likens the transformation to aligning her with historical icons like Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi.

The Review-Journal further criticizes Harris for shifting positions on key issues. Once a “San Francisco leftist” who supported the defund-police movement, she’s now portrayed as a “tough-on-crime border hawk.” Additionally, she has reversed course on several policies, including energy, health care, and the Senate filibuster.

The paper argues that Harris’s selective media appearances are part of an orchestrated strategy to avoid unscripted situations, while also noting, “we are under no illusions about Donald Trump.” The endorsement acknowledges that Trump’s behavior surrounding the January 6 riot was “disappointing,” and calls out his “petulant” claims about election rigging.

Nonetheless, the Review-Journal maintains that Trump’s four-year tenure offers a substantial track record for voters to consider.

The paper highlights key accomplishments from his administration, such as global stability, a strong U.S. economy, and the appointment of judges committed to limiting government power. Additionally, they point out Trump’s success in securing the southern border and the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines.

In contrast, the Review-Journal emphasizes the sharp rise in inflation and national debt during Biden’s presidency, which has contributed to soaring housing costs and interest rates.

The endorsement also criticizes the administration’s handling of immigration, stating that Harris and Biden turned a “blind eye” to the border crisis.

As the newspaper sums it up, “When we weigh the policy results of Mr. Trump’s four years in office against those of Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden, the contrast becomes difficult to ignore. Donald Trump is the better choice.”

The paper’s ownership, since 2015, has been tied to the Adelson family, with Miriam Adelson continuing to oversee the publication following the death of her husband, Sheldon Adelson, who was a major supporter of Trump.

This endorsement is also significant because it comes from a paper that’s in the swing-state of Nevada.

According to the latest poll from FiveThirtyEight, Kamala Harris holds a razor thin lead of 0.5% in the Silver State.

But a major endorsement from the Las Vegas Review-Journal could easily flip that advantage in favor of Donald Trump.

Nothing is going right for the Democrats. They’re in trouble of losing everything.

And Kamala Harris and the entire Democrat Party is collapsing.

Montana’s Senate Race Faces Uncertain Future as Polling Trends Shift

Montana Democratic Senator Jon Tester is navigating a challenging reelection bid, with troubling polling data indicating he hasn’t led a poll since mid-August according to FiveThirtyEight, and even longer at RealClearPolitics, where his last lead was recorded in March.

Political analysts have expressed surprise at the lack of optimistic narratives surrounding Tester’s campaign. Instead, the tone of recent coverage has taken on a somber note. Michelle Cottle of the New York Times remarked, “Watching Mr. Tester rally the faithful, it’s hard to tell if he really gets it: Gets how much trouble he’s in politically, how much many voters don’t care where you were born anymore, how much Montana has changed. That last part is painful to contemplate.”

Meanwhile, Kael Weston, writing in the Boston Globe, noted that “Tester’s latest stand might be his last,” suggesting that this election could mark a turning point for Democrats in the Mountain West—either igniting hope or prolonging a difficult period defined by shifting political demographics.

Adding to the discourse, Ryan Nobles and Frank Thorp V of NBC News highlighted comments from seasoned Montana political strategist Pepper Peterson, who described the Senate race as “one for the political science books.” Peterson warned that if Republicans secure a win, “the Democrats are probably dead for 16 years in Montana or so, maybe longer.”

As Republican candidates solidify their positions, with Jim Justice poised for victory in West Virginia and Tim Sheehy gaining momentum in Montana, the GOP appears to be on track for a potential Senate majority, with projections indicating at least 51 seats.

The implications of a Republican-controlled Senate would be significant for any Democratic administration, particularly if Kamala Harris were to win the presidency. As noted by the Daily Kos, losing Tester’s seat along with Joe Manchin’s could “effectively halt the agenda of a President Kamala Harris if she were elected this year,” complicating cabinet appointments and opening the door to politicized impeachment trials.

In response to these challenges, the Kos has advised Democrats to concentrate their efforts in Texas and Florida, despite mixed polling results. In Texas, while Colin Allred is reportedly within four to five points of incumbent Republican Ted Cruz, analysts caution that this margin reflects a larger gap than Cruz’s narrow victory over Beto O’Rourke in 2018. With turnout in the last presidential cycle exceeding 11 million, Allred will need to secure around 452,000 additional votes to remain competitive.

Similarly, in Florida, Democratic Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell trails Republican incumbent Rick Scott by an average of 4.5 percentage points, struggling to gain traction in a state where Scott’s previous victories were decided by razor-thin margins.

Meanwhile, in Nebraska, optimism persists among certain Democrats, bolstered by a recent SurveyUSA poll suggesting that incumbent Republican Senator Deb Fischer may be in jeopardy, with challenger Osborn leading 50 percent to 44 percent. However, skepticism lingers given the state’s political landscape, characterized by a substantial Republican majority.

Terrible, No-Good Week For Kamala Harris

The trouble for Democrats isn’t just in the Senate. Kamala Harris, who was at one point in her race against Donald Trump, has fallen far from grace. The polls are not looking good for her and the public generally feels as though she’s likely to lose this November after a string of key strategic missteps.

All the betting markets now suggest that Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner as swing state polls are either tied or showing a Trump lead, particularly in the critical state of Pennsylvania with its 19 electoral votes.

All-in, the Democrats have had a horrible past few weeks. They went from flying high on the boost from Kamala Harris being in the race in place of Joe Biden to panic fast enough to give you whiplash.

Prudent Politics will be keeping our readers updated on any major U.S. Senate and Presidential election race news.

The world has crumbled into the chaos under the Biden/Harris admin. The U.S. is less safe because of their poor leadership.

And now the Pentagon is on red alert over this high level terror threat.

Fleets of mysterious drones, possibly of foreign origin, have been spotted conducting surveillance over some of America’s most sensitive military sites. Despite extensive investigations, the Pentagon admits it is struggling to stop these aerial intrusions, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

Over the past year, drones have been sighted over key military installations in Virginia and Nevada, including Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port, and the secret base for the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six. The presence of these drones has raised serious concerns about potential foreign espionage, yet federal laws prevent the military from taking direct action to neutralize them.

The Pentagon’s hands are tied due to legal and practical constraints. Current regulations prohibit shooting down drones unless they pose an imminent threat, which surveillance does not. Even jamming the drones’ signals, a potential countermeasure, was ruled out during high-level White House meetings due to concerns it could disrupt vital infrastructure like 911 systems, WiFi networks, and commercial airliners.

With these restrictions in place, the U.S. military has limited options to counter the drones, leaving officials frustrated. Some suspect the drones could be part of an intelligence operation by foreign adversaries such as Russia or China. Former U.S. Air Force General Mark Kelly first became aware of the sightings in December 2023 when drones were seen flying over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

Langley is home to the advanced F-22 Raptor fighter jets, a key asset in U.S. air superiority. The drones, which appeared in swarms over a 17-day period, were believed to be spying on these military assets. But since the drones did not present an immediate danger, the military could not take direct action against them. Meanwhile, attempts to track the drones using conventional methods failed, as local police lost sight of them during nighttime chases.

Complicating matters further, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned that any attempt to jam the drones’ signals could interfere with commercial air traffic, especially during the busy holiday travel season. As a result, the military has been left with little recourse, and by December 23, the drones had disappeared without any clear answers as to their origin or purpose.

The sophistication of the drone operations, involving multiple devices flying in coordination, suggests that these are not the work of amateur enthusiasts. Authorities were finally given a clue in January 2024 when a Chinese student at the University of Minnesota, Fengyun Shi, was caught flying a drone near Langley Air Force Base. The student’s drone had gotten stuck in a tree, and when it was recovered, investigators discovered that it had taken photos of Navy ships docked at the base.

Shi, 26, was arrested a week later as he attempted to board a one-way flight to China. Prosecutors charged him with unlawfully taking photographs of classified naval installations, marking the first case involving a drone used for espionage. Despite his attorney’s defense that Shi was merely a student flying a drone for fun, he later pleaded guilty to the charges in October.

“If he was a foreign agent, he would be the worst spy ever known,” Shi’s attorney, Shaoming Cheng, told The Wall Street Journal. But the case has heightened concerns about how foreign powers might be using drones to gather sensitive military intelligence.

In addition to the incidents in Virginia, similar swarms of drones were also observed over Edwards Air Force Base in Nevada, another key military facility.

However, the Defense Department has yet to make any official statement regarding the identity of those behind the drones or their motives.

As the Pentagon continues to grapple with these aerial intrusions, the mystery remains unsolved, and questions linger about the implications for national security.

Biden/Harris Admin’s Weak Foreign Policy Strengthening Our Adversaries

There’s no doubt that America’s reputation has been weakened under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s leadership.

Their poor foreign policy decisions, particularly the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, have given the United States’s enemies strength and confidence.

Obviously that’s a major concern as violent conflicts throughout the world continue to wage on.

And using drones to spy on U.S. Military bases is only the beginning unless America can get better leadership that will help re-strengthen the nation.

All eyes are on the race between Harris and Trump. But Congress has been busy behind the scenes.

And this breaking U.S. House news has Kamala Harris and Democrats quaking in fear.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson isn’t exactly the most beloved Republican in Congress amongst conservative voters and the broader Republican voting base. He’s had his missteps in the eyes of conservatives who want to put an end to the expensive proxy wars America is currently stuck in. Mike Johnson has been playing along with these proxy wars.

That being said, he’s been more willing than Republican leaders in the U.S. House in recent memory to actually go on offense against the Democrats who have been largely dominating the shift of policy in Congress. A major concern for Republicans over the past several years has been the Party falling far behind the Democrats in the fundraising game.

Well Mike Johnson has been busy trying to change that. According to new reports, Mike Johnson has been hauling in fundraising for the Republican Party at record levels during a U.S. Presidential election year. This news is certain to make Democrats, including Kamala Harris, very nervous just weeks before the election.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson Reports Record Fundraising in Q3 2024

In a significant development for the Republican Party, House Speaker Mike Johnson raised an impressive $27.5 million during the third quarter of 2024, according to a report from Punchbowl News. This figure, which Johnson’s office has touted as record-breaking, comprises over $8 million earmarked for individual candidates and members, alongside more than $19.4 million allocated to Johnson’s fundraising committees.

Since taking on the role of speaker following the ousting of Kevin McCarthy in October 2023, Johnson has contributed a substantial $26 million to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). McCarthy was well-known for his fundraising capabilities, and Johnson’s recent achievements signal a vigorous effort to maintain momentum heading into the 2024 presidential election.

In less than one year as Speaker, I’m thankful that we have been able to build a team and set new fundraising records that will ensure House Republicans can keep and grow our majority.

Now with less than one month until the most important election of our lifetimes, another…

— Mike Johnson (@MikeJohnson) October 14, 2024

Amid rising concerns about the Democrats’ substantial campaign funds, Republican leaders have intensified their fundraising efforts. Recent reports indicate that Democrats outspent Republicans on political advertisements in August across nearly all major competitive Senate races.

Further bolstering Republican fundraising initiatives, the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), a super Political Action Committee endorsed by House Republican leadership and Johnson, announced a commitment of $18.5 million for new advertising reservations in September. This allocation includes $1.4 million for digital advertising and over $1.75 million for radio advertisements.

The CLF also reported raising a total of $81.4 million in the third quarter, surpassing its previous record of $77.4 million set during the same period in 2020. “We continue to raise at levels that allow us to be incredibly impactful this cycle,” CLF President Dan Conston stated. “These crucial resources have enabled us to invest deeply and strategically add more in the must-win races that will determine the Majority.”

Despite these gains, challenges remain for Republicans, particularly as Democrats have shown stronger fundraising in key swing states. For instance, in July, the Democratic Party of Arizona raised $1.2 million, while their Republican counterparts managed to gather only $552,000. This trend of Democrats outpacing Republicans in fundraising has been observed in several crucial battleground states, including Minnesota and Wisconsin.

As the 2024 election cycle heats up, the ability of both parties to secure necessary funding will be critical in shaping the political landscape.

The Jury Is Still out On Mike Johnson’s Legacy As U.S. House Leader

It’s up to Mike Johnson to prove to the Republican Party and, more importantly, the Republican voting base that he won’t be a generic RINO who will only give in to the Democrats and play Washington, D.C. political softball games. If he can’t, he may not be the default to win the House Speakership should the GOP retain U.S. House majority control.

One of the top issues conservative voters are concerned about and pressing their elected officials on is the constant waste of taxpayer dollars on proxy wars in the Middle East and in Ukraine. On this issue, Mike Johnson has been trying to distance himself from these proxy wars in recent weeks.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 I have no appetite for further funding of Ukraine and hope it will not be necessary, said US House Speaker Mike Johnson.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
