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?

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.

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.

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.

Prudent Politics will keep our readers updated on any critical 2024 election news.

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.

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.

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’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.

Prudent Politics will keep our readers updated on any critical election news.

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.

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.
