Two impeachments, 88 felony counts (with guilty verdicts on 34 of them), a massive fine, two assassination attempts, unrelentingly hostile media coverage, a last-minute candidate switcheroo, and Donald Trump is still showing signs that he will win the election in two weeks.
So, what do Democrats still have up their sleeve to stop Trump? They must have something.
Back in May, we asked what the Democrats’ Plan B was if their lawfare campaign against Trump failed, and offered five options – four of which have come to pass. Here is what we said then.

A Pennsylvania mother who was served by former President Donald Trump during his stint at a McDonald’s drive-thru after his rally on Sunday shared the request she made of the former president.
Trump stopped by the Feasterville-Trevose fast food joint to serve up helpings of french fries to unsuspecting drive-thru customers. Nayara Andrejczyk, a mother whose encounter with the former president went viral online, seized the opportunity to ask Trump for just one favor.

Starmer is not, as has been suggested, simply 'tone-deaf'. He is seizing his opportunity, as Washington did on J6 and Justin did with the Canadian truckers. You know how that worked out for law-abiding grannies on their first trip to America's capital, or for prairie donors who'd dropped fifty bucks via credit card on the Ottawa convoy. And you know how muted public protest about anything has been in either country since.
Yeah. Frozen bank accounts and solitary confinement will do that to you.
A bipartisan group of legislators in New York City is demanding that embattled Mayor Eric Adams launch an effort to remove gang members from the city’s migrant shelters “as a matter of urgent public safety.”
Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) published a letter Thursday to the mayor, co-signed by five Republicans and four Democrats citing the growing influence of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Argua.“It has become evident that foreign-based criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua have been using taxpayer-funded shelters across the city as a base for their illicit activities, which include organized theft, robbery, assaults, sex trafficking, and in some cases, murder,”
There is a compelling reason that the Supreme Court has regularly ruled that falsehoods are protected speech. The Court openly recognizes that falsehoods can be harmful and may sometimes be quite harmful, but the Court also recognizes that efforts to determine which information is true and which is false are far more harmful to our democracy. The line between whether content can be labeled true or false, or whether it is simply viewpoint disagreement can be blurry and very much in the eye of the beholder. This is especially true of political content and policy debates. This is also the fundamental premise of the First Amendment, which protects free speech
Report: Kamala Harris is Hunting for Republican

Votes Because Dems Fear Her Base is Falling Apart replies
You may be wondering why Kamala Harris is campaigning with Liz Cheney. Who exactly is she trying to appeal to here? It makes no sense.
Until you consider the fact that Democrats and her campaign might be worried that she needs votes from never-Trumpers and disaffected Republicans to make up for the votes she is losing within her own party.
Suddenly, it all comes into focus.
From the Washington Examiner:
Harris hunts for GOP votes as Democrats fear her base support is eroding
Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he and host Ari Melber will be arrested if former President Donald Trump wins the election.
Carville said, “Trump goes out, and he says I’m going to use the military to arrest my political enemies, and then Mike Johnson’s and Lindsey Graham, and the Wall Street Journal editorial pages say oh no, that’s not what he meant and then he comes back and says yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. You know what’ll happen? You pointed it out; if he wins, he will say, I told people I was going to do this. I have the legitimacy of an election
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Brigadier General Amir Avivi (Res.) told ABC News on Monday that Israel’s impending retaliatory strike on Iran will be “fierce” and will lead to an intensified war that will last “many months.”
Avivi, a conservative think tank, the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), told Breitbart News in early September that an Israeli attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon was “imminent” — and it took place within days. ABC News reported:
Israel’s planned attack on Iran will mark the “beginning of a war” that will last “many months,” retired Israel Defense Forces Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told ABC News.
Israel’s war with Hezbollah had gone incredibly well
Former President Donald Trump on Monday landed in western North Carolina to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene, meet survivors, and thank volunteers who have been working to save lives.
Five states were affected by Hurricane Helene — Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. However, North Carolina was hardest hit.
Hurricane Helene was the deadliest hurricane to hit the continental United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, with more than 300 deaths confirmed so far, and many still missing.
Issues & Insights' Terry Jones calls this "buyer's remorse," but that doesn't fit. Literally no one bought Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee -- by design. Democrats never gave their voters a choice other than Joe Biden in the primaries, and then threw out 50 state contests to anoint Harris as the nominee once the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline got exposed.
Small wonder, then, that over a third of Democrats in the new I&I/TIPP poll don't feel much "joy" over Harris as their candidate. And even more of them believe they got stuck with a weaker candidate than Democrats could have fielded:
Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning for president against Elon Musk at least as much as she is against former President Donald Trump, Mark Cuban said Monday, as he advocated for the Democratic nominee as the pro-business choice.
“It’s the Harris campaign versus Elon, not even versus Trump,” the billionaire investor and former “Shark Tank” host said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Cuban took a swipe at the Tesla
and SpaceX CEO over Musk’s promise to give $1 million per day to the winner of a swing-state voter sweepstakes, calling it “innovative” and “desperate.”
But Cuban later predicted that if Harris wins, she “100%” could mend her relationship with Musk.
Do you believe in miracles?
Throughout history, inexplicable events have occurred yet naysayers refuse to name them miracles preferring to call them a lucky coincidence. In 1980, however, when the young USA team won the Olympic winter game against the behemoth Russian team and then went on to win the gold, it was called, "the miracle on ice".
The following year, a movie by that name debuted and another one opened in 2004 about the same "miracle. I wouldn't call this event a miracle which was the result of hard work but I'll bet some of the players followed the rule of getting a ‘miracle'. What was it, you may ask?
McDonald's has finally revealed why it does not have records to verify Vice President Kamala Harris' claim that she worked at one of its restaurants in the 1980s.
In a memo emailed to McDonald's USA franchisees the corporation confirmed that while Harris had 'fond memories' of working at a location in Alameda County, 'we and our franchisees don't have records for all positions dating back to the early '80s.'
A copy of the internal letter was posted by an anonymous McDonald's franchise on social media and confirmed by the Wall Street Journal.
The only daughter of former Republican President Gerald Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Susan Ford Bales is a registered Republican and admitted she would 'likely disagree on some policy matters' pushed by the vice president. But ultimately she believed that Harris' 'integrity and commitment to those same principles that guided Dad have led me to conclude' that she should be in the White House over Donald Trump.[snip] Ford was Michigan's only president and was propelled to the White House when Richard Nixon resigned in 1973 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.
Taxpayers, not an insurance agency, will pay for the city of Akron's $4.85 million settlement to Jayland Walker's family for Walker's police-involved shooting death, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik.
The city is not insured, so the settlement will come in a series of four payments over four years, he said.
"I imagine that this is something that would have strong feelings, across the board," Malik said of settlement details. "This was something that was done to protect the city's financial interests and to settle the claim."
The lawsuit, filed by Walker's family, initially sought $1 million for each bullet that struck Walker.
Kamala Harris’s campaign is flailing such that even the mainstream media can’t disguise her struggles.
Even her boss seems to have little confidence.
Joe Biden allegedly told Obama that “she” is “not as strong as me” — with Obama agreeing, “That’s true.” If a man who is non compos mentis thinks you are incapable, you are really in trouble.
In a desperate attempt to change the subject, Harris released her medical report, which concludes that she is in “excellent” health and possesses “the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
The goal was to compel President Trump to release his records.
Several election forecast models have shifted in favor of former President Donald Trump winning the upcoming presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris.
FiveThirtyEight, polling expert Nate Silver, J.L. Partners, Decision Desk HQ, and the Hill released election forecast results from their models, which found that Trump’s chances of winning the upcoming election were greater than Harris’s. In a Decision Desk HQ/the Hill election forecast, the model found that Trump had a 52 percent chance of winning the election, while Harris held a 42 percent chance of winning the election.

Tucker Carlson invited journalist Mark Halperin on his show to predict what the post-election future could look like for America and was horrified by what he heard.
Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and currently a reporter for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris.
'I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,' he said, adding that liberals would question their 'connection to the nation' and suffer 'trauma in the workplace.'
New polling of eight battlegrounds shows Donald Trump on the verge of completing a political comeback the cynics said was impossible after the 2020 election.
But he’s not quite there, per the Redfield & Wilton survey of 8,533 likely voters in the octet of battlegrounds, though the state-level data are encouraging.
Trump leads by 3 points in Arizona, 49% to 46%. He’s up by 4 in Florida, 49% to 45%. In Georgia, the ex-prez leads 48% to 47%. Nevada shows another 1-point lead: 47% to 46%. And it’s 48% to 45% for Trump in North Carolina.
This gets him to 268 electoral votes, forcing Kamala Harris to win the blue-wall states.

Donald Trump's Sunday visit to a McDonald's in Pennsylvania continues to cause hurt feelings and fauxrage among the Usual Suspects, some of who have even gone so far as to try and cancel the Feasterville-Trevose location he traveled to, all for the crime of giving the green light for the GOP presidential nominee to work the fry station and greet drive-thru customers.The point behind Trump's visit, of course, was two-fold: 1) It was in a critically important "purple" county in the presidential race (Bucks County), and 2) it spotlighted Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris' unverified claim of having once supposedly worked at a McDonald's.
A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question.
Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.'
'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience.'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.'
Typically, presidential campaigns allow voters at townhall meetings to ask unscripted questions,
Judges in Michigan and North Carolina separately rejected RNC lawsuits on UOCAVA or overseas voting in US elections.
The RNC in Michigan challenged the rule by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson that voters who never resided in Michigan could cast their overseas ballot and have it count in Michigan.
The Michigan judge said the lawsuit was an attempt to “disenfranchise” voters.
The North Carolina judge said Republicans “presented no substantial evidence” of the fraud they claimed they were trying to prevent.
Vice President Kamala Harris has been hitting the campaign trail with former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) lately, with former and potentially future President Donald Trump trolling the former congresswoman, as Katie covered earlier. The "town hall" event that the two did in Michigan further proved how fake the Harris-Walz ticket really is.At the start of the event in Royal Oak, NBC News' Maria Shriver admitted to an attendee that they were "not, unfortunately" going to be able to ask their own questions. She then tried to soften the blow with a bogus response on how the "pre-uh, determined questions, and I'll hopefully be able to ask

Kamala Harris removed her mask and showed the world what she thinks of Israel and Jews. Any Jew who votes for her is self-hating.
I had a professor at Harvard who told an interesting story. He had just published a book, and an article about him and his writings was forthcoming. The relevant publication sent a photographer to get some author snaps. The photographer took many pictures, and when they were finished, she told him they were done. A second later, he heard the camera shoot again. The surprised professor asked what that was. “I always take a picture of my subjects after they think we have finished.
