According to London-based investor and environmentalist Adam Sweidan, a “black elephant” is a mix of two metaphors: “a black swan” — an unlikely, unexpected event with enormous ramifications — and the “elephant in the room” — a problem that is visible to everyone, yet no one still wants to address it. The Democratic Party has a “Black Elephant” problem they don’t want to talk about, African Americans to comprehend and voters to respond to on election day. That problem involves the growing support for former President Donald Trump from African Americans. Recent reports reveal that black men in particular are supporting President Trump in record numbers.

Still based entirely on polls and projections. There will be plenty of controversy and drama after the election to get everybody's attention without trying to sustain it beforehand by reporting your predictions as if they've already occurred.

Trump could get 30% of the black vote, and it would still be a failure for black people. It's a darn shame. Plus, the media will never let you know the 30% happened.

Breitbart News’s Jon Kahn’s tribute song to former President Donald Trump, “Fighter,” received huge applause when it played during a Trump rally on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the former president returned for the first time since the assassination attempt on his life there two months ago. The song, which reached the #1 spot on iTunes across all charts within 24 hours of its release, was played on the jumbotron screen prior to Trump taking the stage. The crowd of tens of thousands — gathered in the same field where Trump came within an inch of death last July — erupted into cheers when the song reached its crescendo and

Kamala Harris, one of the most incompetent politicians to rise in ranks (and that’s saying a lot) delivered a word salad about the Middle East as World War 3 looms. Tensions are escalating in the Middle East as Israel prepares a ‘significant’ retaliatory strike to Iran’s missile strikes and Kamala Harris, the current Vice President who may get installed as the next US President, has no clue what she’s talking about. Iran launched more than 200 missiles towards Israel last week. WATCH: (X Video)

Democrats are losing ground not only in the presidential race but also in Senate races, and the party is spiraling. As the race in Wisconsin closes in, top Democrat senator Tammy Baldwin is losing momentum in the state. Historically, the state was a safe bet for Democrats. However, much like Nevada and Arizona, a red wave might be on the forecast. An Axios report shows Baldwin’s lead in public and internal polls has diminished. At the same time, Republicans are pouring money into Wisconsin, hoping to pull off a win. This will determine who controls Congress in November. Baldwin is on track to lose her seat to GOP

On Saturday, President Trump returned to Butler, PA, after a failed assassination attempt that took place on July 13, 2024. He was given a hero’s welcome by the estimated 50,000 to 100,000 people in the crowd. Just before the rally began, the Trump campaign released a powerful new ad. As disturbing images of the assassination attempt scroll by, a narrator says, “There are some moments in history that are forever seared into our hearts. Moments when time stops, when joy is shattered by pure terror over good and our pride turns to mourning all in an instant.”

President Biden warned that the money for a disaster aid loan program used by survivors of Hurricane Helene and other calamities will soon dry up without intervention from Congress. In a letter to the four congressional leaders on Friday, Mr. Biden said the Small Business Administration’s program is on the verge of going broke before Congress is slated to return after the Nov. 5 election. The loans are a “critical lifeline” that act as the “largest source of Federal disaster recovery funds,” he said, adding that $1.2 billion is needed to refill the program’s coffers.

Additionally, several high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers were in the same location when the airstrike hit. One of them is believed to be Ismail Qaani, a Brigadier General in the IRGC and commander of its Quds Force. A Lebanese security source told Sky News that the chances of anyone surviving the targeted strike were “almost zero.” The Saudi news organization Al-Hadath had previously reported that Safieddine was dead on Saturday morning.

And the Biden administration didn't disappoint with its quiet announcement in the work week's waning hours, stating that it will end plans to provide a path to citizenship for the over 500,000 illegal aliens from four nations that it flew into the United States. Readers might remember the temporary pause in the program in August, after major fraudulent activities were exposed in the program's management, in part thanks to Elon Musk's bringing attention to the Daily Mail's story back in the spring.

In a landmark case, the top European Union court has ruled that all member states must recognise gender changes made in other countries within the bloc. The European Court of Justice (ECJ), which serves as the supreme court of the European Union in matters of EU law, said this week that Romania had violated EU law by refusing to accept as valid a gender transition certificate obtained by Arian Mirzarafie-Ahi in Britain. The case was spurred after Mirzarafie-Ahi had requested a new birth certificate in Romania, however, the local court demanded that Mirzarafie-Ahi go through a new gender recognition process in Romania rather than accepting the documents from Britain, The Telegraph reports.
