PORTLAND, Ore.—The man suspected of setting fires in ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state is an experienced metalworker and may be planning additional attacks, authorities said Wednesday. Investigators believe the man who set the incendiary devices at ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and nearby Vancouver, Washington, had a “wealth of experience” in metal fabrication and welding, said Portland Police Bureau spokesperson Mike Benner. The way the devices were constructed and the way they were attached to the metal drop boxes showed that expertise, Benner said. Authorities described the suspect as a white man, age 30 to 40, who is balding or has very short hair. Police previously said surveillance video

It's odd these ballot boxes have fire suppression systems in them. And apparently, they don't always work. Are they expecting vandalism?

Elon Musk's mother Maye is speaking out on the 'malicious and dishonest' Democrat party after leaving to join her son in support of the GOP and Donald Trump. The 76-year-old model, who has become more outspoken about issues in the US of late, says the party's treatment of her son made Musk reconsider how she felt about them. Her news diet when she became an American citizen was full of typically liberal, conservative-bashing networks like MSNBC and CNN. 'But then, they'd also say Elon is terrible, and I was thinking, why are they lying about Elon?'

Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he intends to create a new Cabinet position geared toward cutting the cost of living if elected to a second term in the White House. He made the announcement as part of a “new step” to get “emergency price relief to all Americans” while speaking at a rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with less than a week to go before Election Day. “I will create a new Cabinet position for a senior member of my administration who will be tasked exclusively with doing everything in the federal government’s power to reduce the cost of living,” Trump said.

White House press officials reportedly pressured stenographers to cover up President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear by editing the transcript to alter its meaning. The coverup was “a breach of protocol and spoilation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices,” according to a stenographer supervisor’s email obtained by the Associated Press (AP).“The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump] supporters,” Biden said Tuesday. The White House stenographers added an apostrophe to “supporters” and an em-dash to alter the meaning of Biden’s statement.

Elon Musk’s controversial daily $1 million handouts to voters continued yesterday after he secured a court victory against Democrats who claim the sweepstake is illegal. Pennsylvania District Attorney Larry Krasner, an elected Democrat, sued Musk and his pro-Trump fundraising committee alleging a breach of lottery laws. But Judge Angelo Foglietta moved the case to a federal court - likely delaying it until after the election and so allowing the handouts to continue.

The White House press office engaged in a “breach of protocol” when it altered the transcript of President Biden’s “garbage” remark about Donald Trump’s supporters Tuesday over the objection of the administration’s stenographer’s office, according to an internal email. Stenographers heard the 81-year-old president tell a Latino group — in response to a comedian’s comments about Puerto Rico being “a floating island of garbage” during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday — that “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” The White House press office, however, added an apostrophe to “supporter’s,” suggesting that Biden was only attacking the comedian.

A new report from The Public’s Trust is pouring cold water on the Biden-Harris Administration’s claims that it is the most “ethical” and “transparent” administration in U.S. history, calling it blatantly false. The 26-page report knocked down former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s comments in which she said the Biden-Harris Administration succeeded at “bring[ing] transparency and truth back to government.” It alleges that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have violated ethical standards and failed to live up to promises that it would be a scandal-free administration— especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The biggest mistake Kamala Harris made during her three-month campaign against Donald Trump has been revealed. Voters disclosed in an exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners national survey that the vice president should have distanced herself from President Joe Biden sooner. According to the poll of 1,000 likely voters, her 'biggest blunder' is that she would 'not change anything' from the Biden administration. Harris was asked on The View last month about what she would change about Biden's presidency. 'There is not a thing that comes to mind,' Harris responded.

Vice President Kamala Harris has no problem lying to the American people. In fact, she does it so often now that it makes it difficult to decipher what is true and what isn’t, as well as what exactly her policies stand for. Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) perfectly summed up Harris’ constant lying, comparing her to his four-year-old son. During nearly a four-hour interview with Joe Rogan on the “Joe Rogan Experience,” Vance likened Harris’ lying to his toddler, who recently lied about stealing an Oreo cookie. Vance, who revealed that he likes to bake, was making an Oreo cake with his son.

Some 8,000 North Korean soldiers are now in Russia near Ukraine’s border and are preparing to help the Kremlin fight against Ukrainian troops in the coming days, the Biden administration said Thursday. The new figure is a dramatic increase from a day earlier, when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin would only say “some” of the troops had moved toward Ukraine’s border in the Kursk region, where Moscow’s forces have struggled to push back a Ukrainian incursion. That also would mean most of the North Korean troops that the U.S. and its allies say have been sent to Russia are now on the Russia-Ukraine border.

You probably knew it was coming. President Donald Trump -- the master of trolling -- would have a good response to Joe Biden calling Trump supporters "garbage." Indeed, he did, sitting in a garbage truck on Wednesday, calling out Biden for insulting millions of Americans and having a lot of fun in the process. He already showed he has a talent for this with his McDonald's success. That was about serving the people. This time it's about cleaning up Washington. What a great symbolic move it is. How great was it? CNN even had to cut away to cover it, rather than talking about Kamala Harris.
