Why the slow collapse of Harris-Walz won't
stop before Election Day

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as anticipated, easily won the vice-presidential debate Tuesday, October 1, on demeanor, facts, and analysis. But in fairness to a sometimes herky-jerky and nervous Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, he had the harder task of defending the temporary pseudo-conservative make-over of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. His additional burdens were her co-culpability for the last three-and-a-half-years of the Biden disaster, and her unwillingness to implement her supposedly "change" agenda in the last months of her vice-presidential tenure. The CBS News moderators, Nora O’Donnell, and, especially, Margaret Brennan, also as expected, ganged up on Vance.

Why are Harris Walz still doing so well in the polls? What about all the immigrants? How will they be stopped from voting?

When Trump wins by a large margin it will be 'proof' Republicans cheated. There will be recounts until April.

The deliberate snub of the suffering, embattled people of North Carolina is more icing on an old moldy cake. Walz will return to Minnesota and they are welcome to keep him. Harris will get what she has deserved all along, humiliation, shame, embarrassment and unemployment. She and girlie-man Dougie can go back to living in California where they belong.

Poster 3, click reader view button - AA - shown on address bar. Sometimes the AA is in blue font. I am also mad at Fox for the AZ projection. Worse yet, later in the evening, the Fox decision desk wrongly projected that dems would pick up at least 5 house seats. This call was made while polls were still open in several Western states. As it turned out, the GOP gained at least 10 seats. A couple days later, Bret Baier issued a non-apology apology for this incorrect call.

I live in Maine and have relatives in New Hampshire. The battleground state polls on Real Clear Politics show Harris ahead by 5 points in the latest poll. It doesn't make sense to me. I looked at the latest poll from St Anselm College heavily samples Democrats . The latest numbers on voter registration shows Dems 268,943 registered voters, Reps 308,223 registered voters and nonpartisan 318, 221 registered voters. The sample for the poll is 34.58 % Democrats, 19.79% Republicans and 31.82% nonpartisan. The sample is really under representing Republicans.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sought to distance Vice President Kamala Harris from laws he himself signed that granted benefits to illegal immigrants in Minnesota on Sunday. Walz made the comments during a wide-ranging interview on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream. Bream pressed Walz on his military history and his record on abortion in addition to questioning him on legislation he signed in Minnesota that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses and receive state-funded tuition assistance, among other benefits. "Are those not magnets to draw people here, many times on dangerous journeys for themselves? And why should your taxpayers in Minnesota or across the states pay

Hamas’s October 7 massacre was shocking, not just due to its barbarity, but the reaction it elicited on the streets of liberal democracies, with masses of westerners actively cheering on the slaughter of innocent civilians and siding with a genocidal terrorist organization. As the first anniversary of that horrific day approaches, a new book sheds light on the morally bankrupt ideology that has caused many of our elites to turn their backs on liberal values and forge an unholy alliance with religious extremists.
Untapped Relief: FEMA Is Sitting on Billions
of Unused Disaster Funds

Although the Federal Emergency Management Agency told Congress last month that it had $4 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund, officials also warned that the Fund could have a shortfall of $6 billion by year’s end, a situation FEMA says could deteriorate in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. While FEMA is expected to ask Congress for new money, budget experts note a surprising fact: FEMA is currently sitting on untapped reserves appropriated for past disasters stretching back decades. An August report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General noted that in 2022, FEMA “estimated that 847 disaster declarations with approximately $73 billion in unliquidated funds remained open.”

With just about four weeks to go before the presidential election, various people are predictably rolling out their “October Surprise” scenarios. The most prominent such person is Hillary Clinton. That is not a shock to many who believe her to be behind the “Russia Collusion” surprise unleashed on Donald Trump in summer 2016. That “surprise” was a known and proven hoax, orchestrated to take down the Trump campaign. For those who may have forgotten that sordid episode — or who seek to pretend it never happened — I suggest they read the Durham Report, released in May 2023.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is facing heavy criticism after sending mixed messages on whether the Biden-Harris administration has been using FEMA resources to support migrants last week.Jean-Pierre flatly denied that FEMA resources were going to migrants in a press conference last week, but she stated the opposite when asked about the issue in the fall of 2022. "Former President Trump is accusing the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants. How is the White House responding to that?" a reporter asked during a Friday press conference.

For months, many countries have warned of an escalation in the war in the Middle East. These concerns are now magnified in the wake of Iran's latest attack on Israel. Iran is one of the regional powers in the Middle East. Another is Turkey, and Ankara has been on the side of the Palestinian people since Israel's offensive on the Gaza Strip in response to the October 7, 2023 attack by the terrorist organization Hamas. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly accused Israel of committing "genocide." He has also repeatedly emphasized that he does not see Hamas as a terrorist organization and often speaks of his "Palestinian brothers."

According to London-based investor and environmentalist Adam Sweidan, a “black elephant” is a mix of two metaphors: “a black swan” — an unlikely, unexpected event with enormous ramifications — and the “elephant in the room” — a problem that is visible to everyone, yet no one still wants to address it. The Democratic Party has a “Black Elephant” problem they don’t want to talk about, African Americans to comprehend and voters to respond to on election day. That problem involves the growing support for former President Donald Trump from African Americans. Recent reports reveal that black men in particular are supporting President Trump in record numbers.

“The most stupendous and atrocious fraud.” Those words from federal prosecutors could have been ripped from the filing this week of Special Counsel Jack Smith defending his prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Yet they were actually from a Justice Department filing 184 years ago, just days from the 1840 presidential election. Democratic President Martin Van Buren was struggling for reelection against Whig William Henry Harrison, and his Justice Department waited until just before voters went to the polls to allege that Whig Party officials had paid Pennsylvanians to travel to New York to vote for Whig candidates two years earlier.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed French President Emmanuel Macron and other Western leaders on Saturday who he said had called for an arms embargo on Israel over its airstrikes against Hamas in Gaza. "As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side, yet President Macron and other western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them,” Netanyahu said in a statement. He continued, "Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis, on Hamas and on its other proxies? Of course not.

A dead heat is getting even hotter for Kamala Harris. To see it, you can look at the slightly tightening polls; to appreciate you must look inside them. However, to fully understand it, you must look at what Harris did last week: she visited the southern border, she gave an economic speech and she held another softball interview. For a campaign centered on not saying anything, Harris’ playing to her weaknesses says a lot. The polls say the race is tightening slightly. According to RealClearPolitics’ Sept. 29 average of national polling in a two-way race, Harris leads Trump 49.1 percent to 47.1 percent.

When describing the Biden-Harris administration’s policy of allowing millions of illegal border crossers to stay in the United States, it’s absolutely critical to use the word “unvetted.” What government official would let so many people who entered the country illegally remain in the U.S. without even knowing who they are? That would be crazy. And yet that is exactly what the Biden-Harris administration has done for nearly four years. And by the way, administration officials don’t want you to know how often they have done it.

President Biden warned that the money for a disaster aid loan program used by survivors of Hurricane Helene and other calamities will soon dry up without intervention from Congress. In a letter to the four congressional leaders on Friday, Mr. Biden said the Small Business Administration’s program is on the verge of going broke before Congress is slated to return after the Nov. 5 election. The loans are a “critical lifeline” that act as the “largest source of Federal disaster recovery funds,” he said, adding that $1.2 billion is needed to refill the program’s coffers. Lawmakers are out of town until Nov. 12. “I warned the Congress

Hashem Safi Al-Din, who is the presumed successor of former Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, was reportedly killed along with other senior officials in an Israeli strike in southern Beirut on Friday, an unnamed official told Sky News Arabia. Additionally, several high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers were in the same location when the airstrike hit. One of them is believed to be Ismail Qaani, a Brigadier General in the IRGC and commander of its Quds Force. A Lebanese security source told Sky News that the chances of anyone surviving the targeted strike were “almost zero.” The Saudi news organization Al-Hadath had previously reported that Safieddine was dead on Saturday morning.

If it's Friday, then it stands to reason that there's going to be a Friday news dump. And the Biden administration didn't disappoint with its quiet announcement in the work week's waning hours, stating that it will end plans to provide a path to citizenship for the over 500,000 illegal aliens from four nations that it flew into the United States. Readers might remember the temporary pause in the program in August, after major fraudulent activities were exposed in the program's management, in part thanks to Elon Musk's bringing attention to the Daily Mail's story back in the spring.

In a landmark case, the top European Union court has ruled that all member states must recognise gender changes made in other countries within the bloc. The European Court of Justice (ECJ), which serves as the supreme court of the European Union in matters of EU law, said this week that Romania had violated EU law by refusing to accept as valid a gender transition certificate obtained by Arian Mirzarafie-Ahi in Britain. The case was spurred after Mirzarafie-Ahi had requested a new birth certificate in Romania, however, the local court demanded that Mirzarafie-Ahi go through a new gender recognition process in Romania rather than accepting the documents from Britain, The Telegraph reports.
