America’s presidential election next week comes just after Iran marks the 45th anniversary of the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis — and for many, tensions between Tehran and Washington feel just as high as they did then. Iran remains locked in the Mideast wars roiling the region, with its allies — militant groups and fighters of its self-described “Axis of Resistance” — battered as Israel presses its war in the Gaza Strip targeting Hamas and its invasion of Lebanon amid devastating attacks against Hezbollah.

Iran STARTED those wars in the Middle East Trump sanctioned them and there was peace. New treaties were coming along. Then Joebama started sending them Billions of dollars and trouble came with it. They should be wary of Trump winning if war and terrorism is their goal, and that seems to be the fact. If Iranians were smart they would run those Mullahs out and live like human beings.

Iran is not near wary enough. They thought they could demolish Israel before the election while Biden was still the puppet.

Iran clearly has a horse in our presidential election and desperately wants Ayatollah Obama (D - Mecca) to win a fourth term.

'Girlie Man' Arnold Picks His Candidate,

My, how the "girlie man" has fallen. Arnold Schwarzenegger took to X on Wednesday to make a presidential endorsement and found out in short order that few people cared what he thought. The Hollywood star turned California governor and then deposed, "The New Celebrity Apprentice" host has been officially terminated from whatever remained of the good graces of Donald Trump supporters. The former California governor once gave an uplifting and well-crafted speech about how "I Am a Republican!" at the 2004 Republican National Convention, in which he scolded "girlie men" too timid to stand up for what's right. Good times.

Any discussion among conservatives about the possibility of Kamala Harris winning the election quickly turns to voter fraud or polling problems like the under-sampling of Trump supporters. Those are both valid discussions but not the essence of the problem here. If a person goes to a surgeon needing both a cancerous tumor removed and a knee replacement, the patient doesn't opt for the knee replacement in the hope that the cancer will go away. Yes, things will be a lot better, but that tumor keeps on growing. At this point in American history, voter fraud is the bad knee and public education indoctrination is the cancer.
The $15 Billion Biden-Harris Scandal Nobody

We have no doubt that, in the years to come, the media will describe the Biden-Harris administration as “scandal-free.” But that’s only because for the past four years they’ve vigorously ignored any and all scandals. Case in point is the $15 billion giveaway that Biden-Harris snuck through this summer without a single hearing, vote, or advance notice, in an attempt to buy seniors’ votes. Followed up by a campaign email to these same seniors on behalf of Kamala Harris, also paid for by taxpayers. Is any of this legal? Who cares, if it helps Harris win in November? At least, that’s how the mainstream press is treating this scandal. Here’s the background.

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.

It is not my intention to provide black pills. However, we discuss events through the prism of what exists, what we can see and track, rather than what we pretend might be in place. Thus, today CTH fires a signal flare drawing attention away from precinct voting polling places, and toward tabulation centers. There is some alarming evidence beginning to surface pointing toward a shift in the USA election process, specifically the fundamentally changed process that now exists behind absentee balloting.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon on Monday launched an astonishing attack on the Biden-Harris Administration by hitting out at the “onslaught” of red tape from Dem-backed regulators. The Queens native, who reportedly had interest in becoming US Treasury Secretary should Kamala Harris win the election, gave bureaucrats in Washington a tongue-lashing for hobbling the industry with a raft of new rules. “It’s time to fight back,” Dimon told a conference of bankers in New York.

There’s an old aphorism among leftists: if you’re not winning the argument, say it louder. If you’re getting killed in a factual debate, toss the logic and get emotional. Get angry. Throw anything you got, it doesn’t matter if it’s true, just keep screaming. Actually, I don’t know if that’s an old aphorism—I just made it up—but I see it time and time again, whether I’m arguing with a low-IQ progressive or reading what passes as the mainstream media these days.

Bad Bunny threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday by sharing a video of the Democratic presidential nominee shortly after a comedian at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” angering artists and some Hispanic Republicans. Bad Bunny, whose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most famous artists of the moment. His backing could be a boost for the Harris campaign as it tries to bolster its support with Latino voters, among whom Trump has been working to gain ground.

There is batsh*t crazy … and then there is Mika Brzezinski crazy. Mika used a recent Morning Joe broadcast on Fake News MSNBC to embark on a rant so unhinged and unmoored from reality that it boggles the mind. She bizarrely stated: “As important as Trump’s fascism is,” before asserting “it’s the lead story every day” and referring to “his cozying up to, uh, dictators.” She not only called Trump a fascist, as if everyone know this unassailable fact,

If you’ve been alive on Earth for a few decades, you’ve probably watched more than a few election cycles – both general and midterms, federal, state, and municipal. With that thought in mind, I have to ask – have you ever seen a politician win on the promise to raise your taxes? The answer to that, of course, is ‘no.’ Sure, during election time, liberals and Democrats will talk about the importance of certain programs for various perceived “needs,” causes, and crises – but they never get around to explaining what pays for those programs. The answer to that, of course, is ‘your money!’

An ad that encourages women to lie to their husbands about supporting Kamala Harris is getting blasted on social media. The ad supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, which was released by Vote Common Good, was voiced by actress Julia Roberts. “In the one place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want,” Roberts says. “And no one will ever know.” In the ad, a woman wearing a bedazzled American flag hat votes for Harris. When she leaves the voting booth, her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”

The lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages and was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas alleges the network engaged in “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.” “To paper over Kamala’s ‘word salad’ weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation
