Foley: The Second Gentleman is no gentleman, contrary to narrative

By Emma Foley, Commentary  | The Conservateur In the home stretch of the 2024 race, Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, has been accused of abusing a former lover. His alleged problematic past undermines the media narrative that Emhoff is the torchbearer of a reformed masculinity. It also exposes Harris’s fraudulence as a supposed champion of women.  Emhoff’s biggest flaw is that he shamelessly adores his wife, if you ask those who get their news from Saturday Night Live. Actors Andy Samberg and Maya Rudolph did a skit portraying the two in puppy love. The media consensus? Doug’s a “wife guy.” He can’t help being his goofy-Gen X-husband-self. Goals! The feminists go further, saying Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol.” Emhoff served a...

Biden-Harris admin ‘taking advice from foreign governments’ on policing speech, lawmaker charges

By Fred Lucas | Fox News A newly released tranche of documents shows senior Biden-Harris administration officials gained pointers from British "disinformation" officials about partnering with social media companies and establishing an all-of-government effort for fighting disfavored content that includes elections and COVID-19.   The revelation, which comes as Congress investigates potential censorship efforts by the executive branch in the lead-up to the 2024 election, has prompted a House Republican to propose legislation to prevent U.S. tax money going to countries that regulate online speech. The National Security Council held a private meeting with the U.K. government’s Counter Disinformation Unit on Aug. 21, 2021. The Counter Disinformation Unit is part of the...

Biden-Harris Administration has no clue how many unvetted aliens it let in

By Helen Raleigh  | The Federalist The IG report is the latest evidence that America’s illegal immigration crisis is the direct result of Biden and Harris’ policies. The inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security issued a new report revealing that the Biden-Harris administration has endangered Americans’ safety by intentionally welcoming millions of illegal immigrants into the U.S. without properly vetting them. The importance of these findings cannot be ignored, as they directly affect our personal and national security. The redacted report’s long title is also its conclusion: “CBP, ICE, and TSA Did Not Fully Assess Risks Associated with Releasing Noncitizens without Identification into the United States and Allowing Them to Travel on Domestic Flights.” Among the th...

‘Zuckerbucks’ hit small towns as tech group finances more election offices

By Fred Lucas  | The Daily Signal The Center for Tech and Civic Life—which four years ago doled out controversial election grants that became known as “Zuckerbucks”—recently notified White Pine County, Nevada, of a $20,000 grant.  The county, in a major battleground state going into the Nov. 5 presidential election, has a population of about 9,000 and is part of what the Left-aligned center calls its Rural and Nonmetro Election Infrastructure Grant Program.  The notification to White Pine County came with a message from Tiana Epps-Johnson, CTCL’s executive director, and an agreement on how the $20,000 grant could be used.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

Biden undermines Harris claim Ron DeSantis is politicizing hurricane response: ‘Doing a great job’

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News President Joe Biden praised GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for being "cooperative" and doing a "great job" in his response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, despite Vice President Kamala Harris slamming DeSantis for "playing political games" instead of doing his job in response to the storms. NBC News reported Monday that DeSantis was denying phone calls from Harris' team. "People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games with this moment, in these crisis situations, these are the height of emergency situations, it's just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish," Harris told reporters Monday.  Meanwhile, on Tuesday, President Joe Biden's opinion about the GOP Florida governor's response to Hurricane Helene and ...

Barron Trump was denied a bank account due to ‘cancel mob,’ mom Melania claims: ‘Civil rights violations’

By Emily Crane  | New York Post Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, was denied a new bank account because of a political “cancel mob,” his mother, Melania, claimed of “serious concerns about civil rights violations.” The former first lady said her son, who is now 18, was told he couldn’t open the account at her preferred financial institution in the weeks following the Trumps leaving the White House in early 2021. “I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my long-time bank decided to terminate my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one,” Melania wrote in her new memoir, “Melania.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Wavering Floridians told to get moving as Hurricane Milton closes in

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Just go. That was the message Wednesday morning for Floridians still prepared to defy orders to evacuate ahead of the landfall of Hurricane Milton as officials warned stay-behinds they face grim survival odds. Bumper-to-bumper traffic still chokes roads leading out of Tampa as some 17 percent of Florida’s nearly 8,000 gas stations had run out of fuel, according to fuel markets tracker GasBuddy. The gridlock is so bad from the evacuations in these areas, such as I-75, that the state is opening the shoulders for vehicles to use. AP reports the Tampa Bay area, home to more than 3.3 million people, faced the possibility of widespread destruction after avoiding direct hits from major hurricanes for upwards of 100 years.

Tim Walz calls for elimination of Electoral College at California fundraiser, says ‘it needs to go’

By Louis Casiano  | Fox News Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday called for the elimination of the Electoral College during a fundraiser in California, a move some Democrats have advocated for in the past after election defeats.  Walz was in California Gov. Gavin Newsom's private home in Sacramento when he remarked about the process by which U.S. presidents are elected.   "I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go," he said, according to a pool report at the event, Bloomberg reported. "We need a national popular vote, but that's not the world we live in." In 2023, the Minnesota governor signed the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement in which each state would allocate all its electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote fo...

In Oklahoma, Afghan plotted Election Day terror attack in U.S. on behalf of ISIS, DOJ says

By Louis Casiano , David Spunt  | Fox News An Afghan citizen living in Oklahoma has been charged with plotting a terror attack on Election Day on behalf of the Islamic State in which he and an underage co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs, the Justice Department said Tuesday.  Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil, as well as taking a number of steps to prepare for the plot, authorities said. He entered the United States on Sept. 9, 2021, weeks after U.S. troops pulled out of Afghanistan, on a special immigrant visa and is currently on parole status pending adjudication of his immigration proceedings. "I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our investigators and law enforcement officers for suc...

Sloan: What are the next steps for Iran?

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The headline in last Friday’s Wall Street Journal was more poignant than probably the editors realized at deadline: “U.S. Sway Slips As Israel Looks To Strike Iran.” That rather understated assessment serves as a metaphor, not only for the Biden administration’s policy in the region, but it’s foreign policy in general.  The hulking monster in the background of all the strife in the Middle East is Iran, upon which any discussions of pressing strategic concern land. They land most squarely on the topic of Iran having nuclear weapons. Were Iran to get the bomb, the whole landscape of strategic relationships changes, and not only in the Middle East. Obviously, a nuclear-armed Iran is an existential threat to Israel, and it would also...
