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.

Critical swing state moves to greenlight non-citizen voting

0

This is may be the most consequential election in decades. And some are willing to stoop to extreme lows to win.

Now this critical swing state moves to greenlight non-citizen voting.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes is charging ahead with his controversial decision to allow around 218,000 registered voters to participate in the 2024 election, despite serious, lingering doubts about their citizenship status.

While conservatives sound the alarm, Fontes, a Democrat, remains defiant in his refusal to provide transparency on the issue.

America First Legal, a conservative group, has filed a lawsuit demanding access to the list of these voters, and a Republican state lawmaker has joined in, sending a letter demanding the same.

Yet Fontes continues to stonewall, resisting these calls for accountability. The showdown is set for an Arizona court on October 15, where arguments will be heard over Fontes’s decision to withhold the list.

The troubling discovery—that hundreds of thousands of voters in a crucial border state may not have provided proper documentation—came after officials realized that 98,000 Arizonans with pre-1996 driver’s licenses lacked proof of citizenship in the state’s records.

Initially, this figure was alarming enough, but Fontes recently doubled down, admitting the real number is now more than twice as large.

He dismissed concerns, calling it an “evolving situation” and maintaining that the law supports these registrants voting in the upcoming 2024 elections.

Fontes claims that all these individuals affirmed their citizenship under penalty of perjury when registering, yet somehow, the Arizona Department of Transportation doesn’t have documented proof of their citizenship.

That’s a glaring oversight, especially when Arizona law demands proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections.

Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Gina Swoboda expressed concern, stating that while the vast majority of these voters are likely citizens, the situation could damage voter confidence.

“If people think it’s a big mess, it will hurt turnout,” Swoboda warned.

Her worries are compounded by the delicate nature of the situation, as federal law prohibits removing voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election, creating a potential legal quagmire.

Swoboda underscored the importance of handling this carefully: “You can’t deprive these people of your ballot. It’s the 14th Amendment.”

But the fact that this issue even exists so close to a national election casts a shadow over Arizona’s electoral process.

Fontes, in his latest update, reassured the public that state officials are working to verify the citizenship of these voters and cited a recent Arizona Supreme Court ruling, which mandates that the original 98,000 voters be allowed to cast full ballots.

However, the fact that one noncitizen had already slipped through the cracks, as revealed by a Maricopa County official, raises serious questions about how secure this process really is.

Maricopa County, where President Biden won by a slim margin in 2020, remains a focal point of controversy.

While previous lawsuits challenging the county’s handling of the election were thrown out, this latest debacle could reignite concerns ahead of another fiercely contested race.

The 218,000 questionable voters aren’t confined to Maricopa; they are scattered across the state, meaning the issue could have widespread implications.

Republican Rep. Alexander Kolodin has been one of Fontes’s most vocal critics, calling out the Secretary of State for refusing to release the voter list. Kolodin took to X (formerly Twitter), sarcastically commenting, “Nothing to see here!” after Fontes’s refusal.

America First Legal, in their lawsuit, emphasized that transparency is essential to restoring trust in Arizona’s elections, writing that the lawsuit aims “to restore public trust in our State’s electoral system by ensuring transparency about the Defendants’ failures.”

As Arizona gears up for 2024, the lingering questions about citizenship verification cast a long shadow, and Fontes’s reluctance to provide answers only adds to the uncertainty.

Kamala Harris’s worst fears about Donald Trump confirmed by bombshell report

0

Kamala’s campaign is floundering. She’s looking for anything to keep her afloat.

And Harris’s worst fears about Donald Trump were just confirmed by a bombshell report.

The past few weeks have not been kind to Kamala Harris and her campaign. The polls are not looking good for her in key swing states that she must win, including Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Her media appearances have not been received well. She’s just not in good shape.

Now more bad news is on the way. This time it’s a major indicator that has historically been the most important factor in a presidential election. That is, of course, public sentiment on the economy and which presidential candidate they trust more on the economy. What are Americans saying? They definitely trust Donald Trump more than Kamala Harris on this key issue.

Kamala Harris Underwater On Economy, Trump Handily Wins

A recent Gallup poll indicates that registered voters prefer former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to handling the economy, which they rank as the most critical issue in the upcoming presidential election. The survey, released on Wednesday, reveals that 54% of voters trust Trump with economic matters, compared to 45% who favor Harris.

The economy’s significance is underscored by the poll’s findings that 52% of respondents consider it “extremely important,” while 38% deem it “very important.” This marks the highest level of concern for economic issues among voters since the Great Recession in October 2008, when Gallup recorded similar sentiments at 55%.

The poll highlights a stark partisan divide regarding economic priorities. A significant 66% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters identify the economy as extremely important, whereas only 36% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters share this view. The top issues for Republicans include the economy, immigration, terrorism and national security, crime, and taxes—none of which overlap with the priorities of Democrats, who focus on democracy, judicial appointments for the U.S. Supreme Court, abortion, healthcare, and education.

When considering the broader spectrum of voter concerns, the top issues following the economy include democracy, terrorism and national security, judicial picks, immigration, and education. Conversely, the least important issues across party lines are race relations, relations with China, trade, climate change, and transgender rights.

In addition to economic concerns, Trump also holds a lead over Harris in immigration, with a nine-point advantage, and a five-point lead in foreign affairs. On the other hand, Harris surpasses Trump in several key areas, leading by 26 points on climate change, 16 points on abortion, and 10 points on healthcare.

The Gallup poll surveyed 941 registered voters nationally between September 16 and September 28, with a margin of error of four percentage points.

According to the Gallup survey, the economy is also as important as ever for Americans right now. By their estimates, the economy hasn’t been this important of a political issue for Americans since the depression in the 1930s. That’s extra bad news for Kamala Harris since she is losing on this issue.

Major Political Realignment Happening In Real-Time

There’s an interesting political realignment happening right now. That is the Democrats are aligning themselves with upper class elitism, parading around Kamala Harris’s endorsement from the big bank oligarchs. She’s proud of the fact that Goldman Sachs has endorsed her plans for the economy over that of Donald Trump’s.

It would be unfathomable in decades past for the Democrats to be proud about the richest and most elite individuals being in their corner while the masses are endorsing the Republican. This is not the your grandfather’s Democrat Party anymore.

American soldiers are in imminent danger thanks to this awful act by Joe and Kamala

0

The Democrats have sold out our country. It’s as if they don’t care who gets hurt.

And now American soldiers are in imminent danger thanks to this awful act by Joe and Kamala.

Our politicians should be focusing on making America stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

Instead, it seems like all they want to do is score political points or go to bat for their favorite groups.

But now it’s costing the safety of our men and women in arms.

Viktor Bout, the infamous Russian arms dealer who was once behind bars in the U.S. for terrorism-related offenses, is now reportedly back in business, thanks to the ill-advised prisoner swap orchestrated by the Biden-Harris administration.

Bout, who was released in exchange for WNBA player Brittney Griner, has wasted no time returning to his old ways—this time, selling weapons to terrorists who are directly targeting U.S. forces.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Bout is now arming the Houthis, an Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Yemen.

The Houthis, emboldened by their newfound arsenal, have been responsible for numerous attacks on merchant vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, ramping up their aggression following the Hamas-led terrorist attack on October 7.

Their list of targets isn’t just limited to ships—they’ve also attacked Israel and launched strikes on U.S. Navy warships, even managing to down several U.S. surveillance drones, each worth over $30 million.

The Houthis reportedly met with Bout in Moscow a few months ago, where they negotiated a deal for $10 million worth of automatic weapons under the guise of purchasing “pesticides and vehicles.”

While Bout has claimed that these allegations are “baseless,” his refusal to directly deny the accusations only raises more questions.

What’s unclear, as The Wall Street Journal pointed out, is whether Bout’s arms deals are being conducted on behalf of the Russian government or simply with its tacit approval.

Either way, the Houthis were able to secure new assault rifles and had discussions about acquiring more lethal weapons, including Kornet antitank missiles and antiaircraft systems.

It’s a chilling reminder of just how dangerous Bout is, and how disastrous the Biden administration’s decision to release him has turned out to be.

Bout was originally convicted in 2011 for attempting to sell millions of dollars’ worth of missiles to Colombia’s FARC, a terrorist group aiming to shoot down U.S. military helicopters.

At the time, then-Attorney General Eric Holder remarked that “Viktor Bout’s arms trafficking activity and support of armed conflicts have been a source of concern around the globe for decades.”

The verdict back in 2011 was seen as justice being served, with U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara highlighting that Bout was prepared to sell a weapons cache that “would be the envy of some small countries.”

Now, however, Bout is back on the loose, and terrorists around the world are cashing in.

Major Democrat turns on Biden and Harris in a devastating betrayal

0

There isn’t much time left for Kamala and her comrades to buoy the ship. And it looks like it’s getting worse with every passing day.

And now a major Democrat turned on Biden and Harris in a devastating betrayal.

Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., is now facing off against Biden’s out-of-touch, heavy-handed policies that prioritize radical “woke” ideals over what really matters for Montana students.

In a striking rebuke to Biden’s Department of Education, Tester is calling on the administration to reverse its absurd decision to reject federal grants for Montana universities. Why? Because these schools didn’t fall in line with the Democrats’ obsessive DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) hiring standards.

Tester minced no words, saying, “The Biden Administration’s decision to strip critical funding from local schools is just another example of one-size-fits-all policies from Washington bureaucrats who don’t understand Montana.”

This is yet another chapter in Biden’s long-running disaster—using federal overreach to push progressive ideology on states that simply want to prioritize their people over politics.

The Montana senator rightly demanded that Biden’s Department of Education reverse this decision immediately, pointing out that students should never be held hostage to some Washington concoction of “diversity” over merit.

Biden’s blind pursuit of DEI hiring practices has taken a clear toll on local schools, while Kamala Harris sits by, doing nothing to fix these misguided priorities.

Tester, who is desperately trying to distance himself from Biden and Harris, particularly in a state where their names are political poison, knows he’s walking on thin ice.

In a competitive re-election race against Republican candidate Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, Tester is now trying to appear like a champion of Montana, while voters are seeing right through his last-minute about-face on Biden’s policies.

The truth is, Tester’s been all in on the far-left agenda until now.

The Biden DOE’s rejection of Montana’s GEAR UP grant—citing the bogus excuse of inadequate diversity hiring details—wasn’t just a blunder.

It’s a glimpse into the deeply flawed, woke culture that Biden and Harris have unleashed on the country.

This decision is “embarrassing” for the DOE, but more so for Tester, who is now scrambling to save his political career after voting with Biden and Harris nearly 95% of the time.

Let’s not forget, Tester’s office hasn’t even gotten a response from Biden’s DOE after reaching out weeks ago. But are we surprised?

The Biden administration’s priorities are so misplaced that it’s hard to believe Montana’s students are anywhere on their radar.

Tim Sheehy’s campaign didn’t hesitate to call out Tester’s hypocrisy, pointing to his votes in lockstep with Biden’s radical agenda, from supporting race-based farming assistance to backing AOC’s Green New Deal.

“Two-Faced Tester is doing the Tester Two-Step,” they said, highlighting his sudden attempt to distance himself from Biden and Harris just to secure re-election.

And let’s not forget about Kamala Harris, who has been Tester’s silent accomplice in promoting these far-left policies.

While Tester avoids endorsing her, there’s no hiding the fact that he helped bring her into the political fold back in 2015. His calculated silence speaks volumes.

Montana voters should see through Tester’s sudden shift. After years of siding with Biden and Harris, his newfound opposition to their reckless policies seems more like political theater than genuine concern for Montana.

Top Republican Senator exposes Kamala Harris’ sinister ties to this US enemy

0

Our elected officials should be trying to make our lives easier. Instead they’re aiding and abetting those who would destroy us.

And now this top Republican Senator exposes Kamala Harris’ sinister ties to this US enemy.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) wasted no time in calling out Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling her as Iran’s “hand-picked candidate” for the 2024 election.

Cotton’s comments point to a troubling reality: the Democratic Party, under the leadership of Obama, Biden, and now potentially Harris, has consistently coddled Iran, allowing the rogue regime to strengthen its position in the Middle East.

Cotton’s remarks come as Republicans, like Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), have urged the White House to focus its Middle East policy on confronting Iran.

Waltz rightly suggested that any hope for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is a pipe dream as long as Iran continues to be “flush with cash”—thanks, in part, to Democrat-led policies.

The Arkansas senator laid out a damning case: from Barack Obama’s disastrous Iran deal to President Joe Biden’s weak handling of the region, the Democratic Party has emboldened Iran at every turn.

“Time and time again, the Democratic Party has aided the rise of Iran in the Middle East through appeasement, conciliation, sanctions relief, and outright bribery for hostages,” Cotton said on Life, Liberty & Levin. And it’s a grim future if Kamala Harris is elected, Cotton warned.

“They’ll continue to do so if Kamala Harris wins… Kamala Harris is the hand-picked candidate of Iran.”

It’s no secret that Harris opposed the Trump administration’s decision to take out Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s top terrorist mastermind.

While Trump was making bold moves to protect America and its allies, Harris criticized the airstrike that eliminated Soleimani, absurdly suggesting it could “lead to a new war in the Middle East.”

This shortsightedness is exactly why Cotton—and many others—are sounding the alarm.

Cotton also pointed out that Obama has long been in Harris’s corner, even bringing his “political machine” behind her since her early days as California’s attorney general.

If Harris takes the White House in 2024, Cotton warns that Israel will be left in an even more precarious position, forced to fight harder to defend itself against threats backed by Iran.

Former President Donald Trump, a staunch defender of Israel and a critic of Biden’s weak foreign policy, didn’t hold back either.

He blasted the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, claiming that the war “would not have happened” under his leadership.

Trump also highlighted Iran’s eagerness for Harris to win the election because, as he said, Iran knows it can “take advantage of America” under her leadership.

Even Donald Trump Jr. weighed in, arguing that Iran’s interference in the 2024 election, including alleged hacks on the Trump campaign, might inadvertently help his father.

Iran, according to Trump Jr., knows that another Trump presidency would be “really bad for their global ambitions.”

With Kamala Harris on the ballot, it’s clear that the stakes in the 2024 election are higher than ever.

Her track record, combined with the Democrats’ disastrous Middle East policies, spells trouble for anyone who believes in a strong America and a secure Israel.

Trump scored a massive victory that left Kamala Harris trembling

0

This election is full of surprises. But this could seal the deal.

Because Trump scored a massive victory that left Kamala Harris trembling.

The tides are turning in Philadelphia, where working-class Democrats are increasingly shifting their support to former President Trump.

Despite being a historically blue stronghold, the city’s poorer wards and districts are now eyeing a change, and it’s not hard to see why.

A recent report from The Philadelphia Inquirer highlighted this growing trend, with many lifelong Democrats fed up with the failed policies of their party and eager to embrace Trump’s proven track record.

Take Gabriel Lopez, a 27-year-old who initially voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 as a registered Democrat. But Lopez, like many others, has seen the light, switching his registration to Republican and becoming an enthusiastic Trump supporter.

“Democrats keep saying [Trump] is going to bring down the economy, but he was already president for four years, and taxes were lower,” Lopez pointed out. “We’re tired of the same politics. We got a different type of guy, and the people actually love him.”

Lopez’s sentiment is far from an isolated case. As the article explained, working-class voters in Philadelphia—once a reliable voting bloc for Democrats—have been steadily moving to the right.

The reason? The skyrocketing costs and economic struggles that have hit these communities the hardest, and many rightly blame the Democrats for it. With inflation running rampant and everyday expenses ballooning, who can blame them?

Philadelphia, which houses 20% of the state’s Democratic voters, saw the biggest exodus of Democrats in the 2020 election, a clear sign of dissatisfaction. This shift was most prominent in majority-Latino neighborhoods and poorer, less-educated areas, where voters are more concerned about the economy than hollow promises from Washington.

Jim Kohn, a retired truck driver and registered Democrat, laid it out plainly. “When Trump was president, everything was cheaper,” Kohn said. “Now, everything is so sky-high.” Kohn isn’t alone—working-class families remember the better days under Trump, when jobs were up, taxes were down, and life was more affordable.

On the flip side, while some Democrats cling to hope for Vice President Kamala Harris, others acknowledge the growing support for Trump. Álvarez Febo, a Democrat still planning to vote for Harris, even understands why Trump resonates with so many.

“We’re not trustful of the government,” Febo admitted. “Then you have someone like Trump, who is a liar, and for some people, it’s like, ‘you know something? He’s an honest representation of what we feel.’”

Even Febo knows the real issue for many is survival. “They’re saying Kamala is going to save our democracy,” Febo added, “but that means very little for people who can’t keep the lights on.”

Republicans, meanwhile, are seeing the writing on the wall and are optimistic about this potential political shift.

Charlie O’Connor, the GOP leader for the 45th Ward, sees the Democratic Party morphing into the party of the upper middle class, leaving behind the very people it claims to represent.

“The Democratic Party has become the party of the upper middle class,” O’Connor said. “Most of the bosses are Democrats, and no one is voting the way their boss is.”

Pennsylvania remains one of the most competitive battleground states, and Trump’s message is resonating where it counts. A recent Fox News poll shows Trump and Harris neck and neck at 49% among likely voters in the state.

Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, and with the growing disillusionment of working-class Democrats, it looks like he’s well-positioned to make it happen again.

Kamala has a mess on her hands after Joe Biden’s brain broke on camera

0

If you didn’t know any better, you would think Kamala was running the country. Unfortunately for her, there still is that one squeaky wheel left.

And now Kamala has a mess on her hands after Joe Biden’s brain broke on camera.

President Joe Biden once again showed signs of confusion on Thursday when a reporter asked him about aid to states ravaged by a devastating hurricane, even though the president had just spent the day in the disaster zone. This kind of scatterbrained response is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Biden, whose handling of crises continues to raise serious questions about his competence.

Biden had just returned from North Carolina, the state hardest hit by Hurricane Helene, where catastrophic flooding obliterated entire communities, including Asheville. But when a reporter asked a straightforward question, Biden’s response was anything but reassuring.

“What do the states in the storm zone need, Mr. President?” the reporter asked.

“Eh?” Biden replied, in his now-familiar state of confusion.

The reporter, clearly sensing Biden was lost, repeated, “What do the states in the storm zone need after what you saw today?”

“Oh, in the storm zone,” Biden stammered. “I’m wondering what storm you’re talking about. They’re getting everything they need, and they’re very happy across the board.”

This astonishing disconnect from reality comes at a time when 215 people have already been confirmed dead, and hundreds remain missing after the hurricane ripped through Florida and the Carolinas.

Entire towns are submerged, lives shattered, yet Biden continues to fumble the basics.

Meanwhile, the heartbreaking stories continue to pour in. In Asheville, a couple in their 70s and their six-year-old grandson drowned after the roof they were stranded on collapsed. The boy’s mother miraculously survived but was trapped nearby.

But what does Biden do? He deploys 1,000 active-duty soldiers to assist with relief—too little, too late for many.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas added fuel to the fire by admitting that FEMA, already running on fumes, will run out of funds before the hurricane season ends. Despite FEMA’s urgent plea for more money from Congress, this administration’s incompetence knows no bounds.

Even Vice President Kamala Harris, in her typical out-of-touch style, boasted about FEMA providing a measly $750 to families for “immediate needs” like baby formula. Apparently, that’s supposed to fix everything.

And while Americans suffer, Biden and Harris continue to prioritize illegal migrants. Critics have rightly pointed out that FEMA spent a staggering $1.4 billion on housing illegal immigrants over the last two years—money that should’ve gone to American families facing disasters like this.

Former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back, rightfully slamming the Biden administration during his rally in Michigan on Thursday.

He blasted Biden and Harris for their catastrophic handling of the storm, calling it “the worst response in the history of hurricanes.”

“If you want to see how sick and distorted Kamala Harris’ priorities are, just consider FEMA,” Trump said. “Now we have a horrific disaster in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Virginia. And the Harris-Biden administration says they don’t have any money… they spent it all on illegal migrants.”

Once again, Biden and Harris fail the American people in their time of need.

Kamala Harris campaign suffers devastating last-minute blow

0

Election day is quickly approaching. There’s a major issue brewing for the Harris campaign.

Because this devastating news is a last-minute blow Kamala Harris couldn’t afford.

Analysis of Public Sentiment and Its Impact on Vice President Kamala Harris’s Prospects

In a recent analysis, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten highlighted concerning statistics regarding public sentiment towards the direction of the United States, which could spell trouble for Vice President Kamala Harris as she eyes a potential presidential run. As of now, only 28% of Americans believe the country is on the right track, a figure that historically suggests an incumbent party is at risk of losing an upcoming election.

Enten noted that when an average of just 25% of Americans feel positively about the nation’s trajectory, it typically indicates that the incumbent party will struggle. Conversely, when this figure rises to about 42%, the incumbent party is generally positioned for success. “When does the average, when an incumbent party loses the election? Look at that, it’s just 25%. That looks a heck of a lot like that 28% that currently think the country is on the right track,” he stated.

He further emphasized the significance of these numbers by comparing them to historical election data, stating, “When the White House party wins … 42% on average think the country is on the right track. This 25% looks a lot more like this 28%, it doesn’t look anything like this 42%, this to me is a bad sign for Kamala Harris’ campaign. The bottom line is, it looks a lot more like a loser than it does like a winner when it comes to the country being on the right track.”

The current sentiment among Americans is notably lower than the averages of past incumbent presidents who successfully secured reelection. Historical data shows that successful incumbents had an approval rating of at least 39% during the 1996 election and as high as 47% in 1984, during Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory.

Enten remarked, “Look throughout history… in all of these instances, far more than 28% thought that the country was on the right track. 39% back in 1996, we’ve got an upwards of 47% in ’84, of course that was a blowout for Ronald Reagan. So there is no historical precedent for the White House party winning another term in the White House when just 28% of the country thinks that we’re on the right track.”

However, Enten also acknowledged the potential for breaking historical precedents, referencing the 2022 midterm elections, where Democrats performed better than expected despite only 26% of Americans believing the country was on the right track.

This leads to speculation about the current political climate: “Maybe we’ve entered a new political environment where Donald Trump is so unpopular that these historical norms, these historical measures that we look at, don’t actually mean what we think anymore. I’ll tell you this much, Kamala Harris better hope that’s the case, because otherwise this right track, wrong direction situation will not work out in their favor … They’re gonna have to hope that there is a historical norm broken like in the past midterm because if there isn’t, Donald Trump is going to end up in the White House for another term,” Enten warned.

Current polling indicates that former President Trump holds a favorability rating of 43%, with 52% of Americans viewing him unfavorably, according to FiveThirtyEight. In comparison, Harris’s ratings show a slightly more favorable position, with a 47.3% approval rating and a 46.4% unfavorable rating. As the political landscape evolves, the implications of these statistics will be critical for Harris and the Democratic Party as they prepare for future electoral challenges.

A negative public outlook on the economy can significantly undermine the incumbent party’s standing in the White House, impacting electoral outcomes and governance. When citizens perceive the economy as struggling, they often direct their frustrations toward the current administration, regardless of the actual economic data. This phenomenon occurs for several reasons.

The economy is a primary concern for voters. Issues like inflation, unemployment, and wage stagnation dominate public discourse. If people feel that their financial situations are deteriorating, they may attribute these hardships to the policies and leadership of the sitting president. Even if economic indicators like GDP growth or job creation are positive, personal experiences shape public sentiment, leading to a disconnect between statistical performance and individual perception.

Moreover, a negative economic outlook can diminish voter turnout for the incumbent party. Disillusioned voters may choose to stay home on Election Day, believing their party has failed to deliver tangible benefits. Conversely, motivated by a desire for change, voters may flock to the opposition, seeing them as a solution to their economic woes.

A negative public perception of the economy fosters dissatisfaction and a demand for accountability. This dynamic can hinder the incumbent’s ability to implement policies effectively and can pave the way for a shift in power during elections, illustrating the critical link between public sentiment and political stability.

Republicans are sounding the alarm on an incriminating reality in these key swing states

0

Americans are already distrustful this year. But this is a massive red flag.

And Republicans are sounding the alarm on an incriminating reality in these key swing states.

The illegal immigrant population has skyrocketed in critical swing states since 2021, raising alarms that mass immigration could influence the outcome of the upcoming November elections.

A detailed report from MarketWatch outlines the explosive rise in illegal immigrants across seven battleground states—states that could determine whether former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris secures the presidency.

The sheer magnitude of this surge is fueling fears that Democrats are leveraging mass immigration as a political strategy, knowing that newly arrived immigrants tend to vote overwhelmingly for their party.

Michigan, which holds 15 Electoral College votes, saw an astonishing 775 percent increase in its illegal immigrant population.

In 2020, President Joe Biden edged out Trump in Michigan by approximately 150,000 votes, whereas Trump narrowly won the state in 2016 by just over 11,000 votes.

Arizona, another pivotal state, saw a similarly dramatic rise with a 734 percent increase in illegal immigrants. Nevada, yet another swing state, recorded a 562 percent increase.

Biden’s 2020 margin of victory in Arizona was razor-thin, less than 11,000 votes, underscoring the potential impact of demographic shifts like these.

Meanwhile, other critical states—Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina—have seen their illegal immigrant populations swell by 467, 401, and 446 percent, respectively.

Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral votes, recorded a 241 percent increase. With such staggering numbers, the question on many minds is whether mass immigration is being weaponized for political gain.

The Daily Wire revealed that a network of leftist non-profits, funded by none other than mega-donor George Soros, is actively working to “sway the outcome” of both national and state elections by naturalizing new citizens and turning them into a reliable voter base.

These organizations even keep track of demographic shifts in swing states like Arizona and Georgia, emphasizing the political implications of mass immigration.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, voiced similar concerns, warning that mass immigration could result in “permanent one-party rule” under Democrats.

Musk didn’t mince words, accusing Democrats of “deliberate voter importation to swing states & fast-tracking them to citizenship.”

“The only question is when (not if) enough migrants can vote to flip all swing states,” Musk tweeted, pointing out how the 1986 amnesty flipped California permanently blue.

“Unless Trump wins and reverses this scam, 2024 is the last election in America,” Musk boldly declared.

The issue has grown so dire that America First Legal is now suing all 15 counties in Arizona, alleging that they’ve failed to purge illegal immigrants from their voter rolls.

“Every county in AZ is flagrantly defying its duty under state law to expunge illegal voters,” the organization claims.

A recent Heritage Foundation investigation adds fuel to the fire. Undercover footage from a Phoenix apartment complex captured several self-proclaimed non-citizens admitting they were registered to vote, with some openly stating their intent to vote for Harris.

With these staggering figures and mounting concerns, it’s clear that illegal immigration isn’t just an issue of border security—it could very well define the outcome of the 2024 election.

Biden/Harris admin slaps hurricane victims in the face with this brutal response

0

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are arguably the worst administration in modern American history. This latest blunder only solidifies that.

And the Biden/Harris admin slaps hurricane victims in the face with this brutal response.

In a troubling revelation, the Biden-Harris administration has reportedly diverted over $1 billion in taxpayer funds, originally intended for disaster relief, to support resources for illegal immigrants.

According to The Federalist, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in 2023 and an additional $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program,” which assists noncitizens released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

This program, run in cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, focuses on providing shelter and services to those who have crossed the border illegally. The reallocation of these funds is now raising serious concerns as FEMA struggles to meet the needs of Americans affected by natural disasters like Hurricane Helene.

On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas addressed the issue, acknowledging the shortfall in FEMA’s long-term funding for disaster relief.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas told reporters, as reported by the Associated Press. He added grimly, “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Currently, Americans in North Carolina, Georgia, and other states are trapped in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, still awaiting assistance. As resources dwindle, frustration is growing among those affected by the storm.

Donald Trump Jr. took to X, writing, “So FEMA is almost out of money to help with Federal Emergencies (you know the FE in FEMA) because they spent almost $1,000,000,000 helping illegal immigrants over the last two years. Got it, but probably tough to explain to those not getting the help they need in GA and NC!”

Amid the delays in government assistance, some Americans have taken matters into their own hands. One such person is South Carolina pilot Jordan Seidhom, who made efforts to rescue stranded victims in North Carolina by airlifting them to safety. Unfortunately, his heroic efforts were met with threats of arrest for violating flight restrictions.

Seidhom managed to save two women who were stranded on a mountain with no supplies.

“They only had one day of supplies, which was gone by Saturday. They didn’t have any food, water, no running water, no power. And we were coming back this direction anyway, so we actually took them to Charlotte-Douglas Airport, and they were able to fly home from there,” Seidhom told Queen City News.

As he flew out of the area, he noticed even more people in need of help.

“We spotted within 300, 400 yards of their location [people] were waving for help as my son and I were leaving,” Seidhom added, highlighting the ongoing desperation in the region.

While the government faces increasing scrutiny for its spending decisions, everyday Americans are stepping up to fill the gaps, even in the face of bureaucratic hurdles.

But the question remains: will FEMA be able to assist U.S. citizens during future disasters, or will diverted funds by the Biden/Harris admin continue to hamper relief efforts?

Based on how the current presidential administration has misused relief funds, let’s hope we don’t have to find out.

Governor of Pennsylvania caught in crazy election scandal

0

Pennsylvania is the most important state to win in November. Democrats are up to no good.

And now the Governor of Pennsylvania has been caught in a crazy election scandal.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has come under scrutiny for using public funds to host a training event aimed at social media influencers, as revealed by documents obtained by reporters with the Daily Caller outlet. The event, dubbed the “Democracy Summer Camp,” took place on July 25 and aimed to educate influencers on how to encourage their followers to vote and recognize misinformation online.

The day-long event, funded by Pennsylvania taxpayers, cost around $4,000, including expenses for meals and beverages. According to the reporters, the governor’s office invited 43 influencers, most of whom had a liberal political presence, with approximately 70% actively promoting Democratic views. The remaining influencers were apolitical but came from demographics that typically favor the Democratic Party, such as college students and African Americans.

During the event, Shapiro addressed the largely liberal crowd, urging them to become active participants in the political process. “We all need to get off the sidelines, get in the game, and fight for what we believe in,” he said. His comments were directed at energizing the influencers to mobilize their followers ahead of the 2024 election.

Al Schmidt, Pennsylvania’s Secretary of the Commonwealth, provided participants with information on voting laws. Gavin Lichtenstein, Shapiro’s director of digital partnerships, also addressed the influencers, emphasizing the role they play in informing their followers about voting deadlines and procedures, including the use of drop boxes.

The event has sparked criticism, particularly from Pennsylvania State Rep. Seth Grove, who questioned the use of taxpayer dollars for what he sees as a partisan effort. “Having the governor’s office use taxpayer funds to only have Democrat social media influencers … is very, very sketchy and was a waste of taxpayer dollars,” Grove said. He further argued that the event was intended to support Democratic campaigns rather than a neutral effort to promote voter turnout.

Among the attendees were several prominent liberal influencers, including Maggie McGregor, the daughter of Democratic National Committee treasurer Virginia McGregor, and comedian Alex Pearlman, who has a large social media following and frequently criticizes Republicans. McGregor, following the event, echoed Shapiro’s call to action, encouraging her followers to develop a “voting plan” and support Democratic candidates.

Pearlman, with about 3 million followers, has been vocal in his opposition to conservative policies, and his content often targets Republican figures. Another attendee, Aaron Parnas, a pro-Ukraine influencer with over 800,000 followers, works for the Miami-Dade County Democratic Party and frequently posts about Democratic causes. Ethan Kelly and Isaiah Martin, both Democratic supporters with significant online followings, were also invited.

The presence of these influencers, many of whom are staunch Democratic supporters, has led to accusations that the event was more about promoting the Democratic agenda than encouraging unbiased voter participation. Grove voiced concerns that the event lacked transparency and that it further contributed to the spread of misinformation. “There should be a huge level of transparency around this; this is how misinformation begins,” Grove said.

“You got a Democrat administration who is angling to be high ranking in the Democratic Party, looking to be VP, asking national content creators to come to Pennsylvania and they give them what they think should be misinformation, disinformation and honest discussions about elections,” Grove added.

Adding to the controversy is the involvement of MeidasTouch and Betches News, two left-leaning media brands, which provided guidance to attendees on how to make their social media posts go viral. MeidasTouch, originally founded as an anti-Trump political action committee, has faced accusations of spreading falsehoods in the past.

As Shapiro continues to face criticism, there are calls for the governor’s campaign to reimburse the state for the event. Grove, one of the leading voices against the summer camp, said, “They know they were in the wrong, they knew they were using taxpayer funds to do an event solely for Democrats.”

“They shouldn’t have done it, they shouldn’t have used taxpayer dollars and I think Governor Shapiro’s campaign should reimburse the citizens of the commonwealth for this event,” Grove, the leading GOP member on the PA House Appropriations Committee has said about the controversy. “They know they were in the wrong, they knew they were using taxpayer funds to do an event solely for Democrats.”
