2024 Election comes down to the wire — which America will turn out on Tuesday?

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart The 2024 election is shaping up to be a photo finish according to polling and voting data streaming in from a variety of places. Some people are making predictions one way or the other, suggesting they have insight on whether former President Donald Trump will pull off the greatest comeback in American political history or whether Vice President Kamala Harris will pull off an unprecedented victory after her late entrance into the race when her boss, President Joe Biden, dropped out. It all comes down to who votes, which party turns out their people, and which theory of the case is right. I’m not going to make a prediction as I think those are useless. But I will do here is lay out what I think the landscape looks like and a compelling theory of the case e...

The Case of the Disappearing Ballots

By Wendi Strauch Mahoney, American Thinker Mail-in ballots are on the docket in several ongoing election fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The lawsuits ask for transparency with regard to contracts with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to transport alleged completed mail-in ballots. The lawsuits hope to get to the bottom of questions about the legitimacy of the ballots, where the ballots are going, and what is being done with them. These cases may settle questions around whether fraudulent ballots are being used in our elections to stuff the ballot box, among other things. In October 2020, thousands of mail-in ballots were allegedly transported across state lines from Bethpage N.Y. to PA. Evidence shows that ballots were loaded on to a truc...

Ignore polling – Democrats are in the ‘pull the goalie’ phase

By The Conservative Tree House There is that moment in the final minutes of the hockey game’s third period, when the score is 3-2 and the coach of the losing team signals to pull the goalie.  We are in the political equivalent of that moment. Ignore all the push polling that will surface today and in the next 48 hours.  Everything you see, read, hear and view on the electronic devices is now part of an influence operation that has reached its desperate apex.  The pull the goalie phase of the manipulation effort to influence the 2024 presidential election is upon us. The USA Today poll by Ann Selzer, recorded in the official declarations pushed by the Des Moines Register, published late yesterday, was part of the design.  In essence, the scripted play was to set...

These 2 battleground counties may choose our next President

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | The Daily Signal In battleground Michigan, two swing counties may determine which presidential candidate will clinch the state’s 15 Electoral College votes. Oakland and Kent counties have undergone major demographic changes over the past two decades. Both used to be Republican strongholds, but growth in the Detroit suburbs and the city of Grand Rapids turned the counties from red to blue in 2020. Yet many of the two counties’ demographics—members of the working class, black Americans, Arab Americans, Jews, and Christians—say they’ve grown weary of Democrats after three and a half years of inflation, open borders, and unrest abroad.

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Israel and the U.S. will endure “teeth-breaking” retaliation after Israeli forces struck Iran military sites in late October, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday. “The enemies, both the U.S. and the Zionist regime, should know that they will definitely receive a teeth-breaking response for what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front,” Khamenei said while addressing a student group, UPI reports. “We are certainly doing everything necessary to prepare the Iranian nation to stand against arrogance, whether in terms of military readiness, armaments or political actions.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

FEMA failed to answer nearly half of the calls for assistance, aid it received during Hurricanes Helen and Milton: report

The Pentagon fails to send absentee ballots to active military service members

By Sarah Arnold | Townhall Republican lawmakers demand answers from the Pentagon after military service members complained that they have not received enough absentee ballots to vote before Election Day. GOP Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL) sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin citing their “grave concern over deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols” for the U.S. military because they said the absentee ballot stockpile has been “depleted and had not been replenished.” “Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-...
