I’m Lovin’ It! How Trump Stole the
Democrats’ Joy

Just a dozen days ago, The New York Times ran a thoughtful, hard-hitting, unbiased, 100% even-handed article on Kamala Harris: ‘Joy’ Is Working for Harris, but Can It Close the Deal? (That was a follow-up to its previous hard-hitting piece: Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign. A few days earlier, another site exclaimed: Kamala Harris is showing that joy can be a strategy. And just a little bit prior to that, New York Magazine declared the dawning of a new, exciting age in American politics: Kamala Harris and the New Politics of Joy! Happy-happy, joy-joy! )

Nature might abhor a vacuum, but empires love them. The busy empire-builders in Tehran have spent the last two decades extending their reach into power vacuums in Iraq and Syria as part of their attempt to recreate at least part of the old Persian Empire that once covered almost the entire Middle East. Funding the Houthi rebels in Yemen keeps the Saudis conveniently distracted, too, as well as giving Tehran a way to attack the shipping that Western economies rely upon.
Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza and Lebanon respectively are Iran's imperial outposts even further west — and the Arab nations have reportedly had enough.
Former President Donald Trump served McDonald’s French fries two days after the Wall Street Journal published a feature on the Republican nominee’s new crusade to “Make America Healthy Again.”
“Trump Adopts RFK Jr.’s War on Junk Food to Win Over His Fans,” the headline read.
Fast-forward to Sunday, when Trump greeted customers at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s drive-thru and passed out goodie-bags of the industry’s most iconically-addictive “junk food.” Several online X users said the split images reflected an inherent contradiction between Trump’s endorsement of efforts promoting sound nutrition and his championship of the fast food menu.

New York Democrats have failed to legalize noncitizen voting, but may get their way by passing Proposition 1 on the Nov. 5 ballot.
The deceptively written “Equal Rights Amendment” doesn’t protect women or abortion rights — but does empower lawmakers to ignore the current language of the state Constitution in the name of protecting a whole host of new rights that it would create.
Let’s be clear: Abortion rights are not under threat in New York.
Citizenship and voting rights, however, are under attack.
The courts blocked the New York City Council’s 2021 law to let 800,000 non-citizens with green cards vote, since Article II, Section 1,
Once in a great while, what happens at the bottom of the ballot can reshape a state’s political future for decades to come.
While New Yorkers on Election Day will vote on the controversial “Equal Rights Amendment,” Ohio is ground zero for an effort to wrest control away from the people and give it to unelected, Fauci-like bureaucrats to achieve “redistricting reform.”
And the movement is anything but organic: It’s an out-of-state (and even international) attempt by left-wing politicians to trick voters into rewriting our state constitution by passing Issue 1.

A Long Island village government promoted a voter event that turned out to be a rally to help elect a Democratic candidate in a congressional swing district, The Post has learned.
The village of Hempstead blasted out social media promos for “get out the vote” rally at Kennedy Memorial Park on Oct. 17 boosting Democratic hopeful Laura Gillen — and featuring Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
The event was no civic, nonpartisan registration drive but a rally for the Democratic ticket, video shows — complete with a “New York State Democrats” banner that was displayed as some supporters carried signs for Gillen, who is trying to unseat first-term Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito.
Kamala Harris has been trying to push the fiction that former President Donald Trump is "exhausted.'
I think it's her attacks and her campaign that are exhausted. If you look at Trump's campaign not only does it have the momentum in the polls, it has the momentum in creativity, energy, and, well, joy. He seems to be having fun, and so are all the people supporting him.
We saw him turn a troll into a hilarious campaign event at a McDonald's, as well as making something of a comment on serving the people and recognizing workers.
But the Trump energy was lighting up around Pennsylvania.
The FCC is investigating CBS for blatant manipulation of news. [SEE COMPLAINT HERE] CBS really has no defense.
CBS has been caught producing, via editorial manipulation, two entirely different responses to the same question.
Everyone has been asking CBS to just simply release the full transcript. CBS has refused. The assumption is now about the manipulative content of the broadcast being so extreme that to release a transcript would be even worse than what is already known. The FCC complaint is simple and accurate, which is likely why CBS has never attempted to defend itself, until today.
Vice President Harris publicly agreed with a protestor this week who interrupted her to accuse Israel of committing “genocide.”
The moment went down during a campaign stop Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, when a pro-Hamas UWM student began yelling out while the Democratic presidential nominee was speaking, video of the exchange showed.
“I am so invested in you all, in every way,” Harris can be heard saying as the interruption began.

Someone off-camera can be heard whispering “shut up,” but the outburst continued.

Deals With Anti-Israel Agitator Interrupting
Her Remarks 2 replies
During her Thursday rally in Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris mocked students who dared to proclaim that "Jesus is Lord" when she went on one of her pro-abortion rants. She insisted that "you guys are at the wrong rally," and cackled while they were tossed out. Scott Presler has the scoop about those young men in question. To add insult to injury to how the Democratic nominee's treats Christians, though, is an anti-Israel activist who interrupt her rallies are responded to in contrast.
Kamala Harris has let loose some truly cringe campaign ads as she continues on her desperate quest for the presidency, but her latest is not only one of the top contenders for the most gag-inducing, it’s also downright insulting. To women. To men. To blacks.
It’s supposed to be cute and funny, but it’s anything but. It portrays black women as thirsty scolds who only care about material things like money, job status, and a potential partner's height.
The women in the spot summarily reject the guy when he admits he hasn’t decided on whether to vote.
Again and again we see that Israel absolutely made the right call in not heeding the Biden administration and the rest of the world's insistence that the IDF not invade Rafah." — Lahav Harkov, Israeli journalist, X, October 17, 2024.
"Pretty rich after a year of undermining Netanyahu, saying he MUST go to a ceasefire, MUST deescalate, trying to stop Israel from going into Rafah WHERE SINWAR WAS KILLED, and Kamala boycotting his joint address to Congress - now Biden & Harris have the nerve to congratulate him for setting the path to peace. I'm sure the phone call sounds something like 'You were right Bibi [Netanyahu], we apologize,'

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
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.
The Fall of Barack Hussein Obama

I officially retired from the US Army on 1 August 2004 and vividly recall sitting and watching the 2004 Democratic National Committee convention. At that convention, a fella named Barack Hussein Obama gave the keynote speech. He had just become a State Senator in Illinois. Angela and I listened to a rousing, emotional, rhetorical speech using the southern pastoral iambic pentameter rhythm and said to each other...this is the guy the Democrats are going to run for President. We were correct in our assessment from 2004. We all witnessed a meteoric rise of someone whom we had no idea of who they were. As a matter of fact, Obama once
House lawmakers tasked with investigating the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania said Monday that the attack never would have happened had the Secret Service been prepared.
The House Task Force on the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler released a 53-page interim report detailing the “stunning security failures” that led to Trump being struck in the ear by a bullet fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. These failures included numerous communication errors and inadequate planning to secure the site.
Are Dems Out Of Options To Stop Trump?
22 replies
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.
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.
Kamala Harris was offered an opportunity to finally work at a McDonald's restaurant but never responded to the invite, a statement circulating on social media indicates.
A franchisee on X posted what they describe as "an internal statement to the McDonald’s system from the US Senior Leadership Team" regarding Donald Trump's visit to a McDonald’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
They describe the memo as "100% real."
By now, most of our readers know that Trump swapped out his suit jacket over the weekend with an apron and proceeded to work the fryers and the drive-thru section at the fast food restaurant. [Tweet, video]
It was classic Trump.
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,
The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed Tuesday morning the law enforcement agency has launched a probe into the Pentagon and who leaked top secret Israeli strike plans against Iran over the weekend. "The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community," Fox News reported Tuesday morning. "As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment."
The FBI and Defense Intelligence Agency are reported to be Investigating the Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, Christopher Maier as the Source for the recent Leak
Seven Israeli citizens were arrested last month on suspicion of spying for Iran for as long as two years, carrying out hundreds of tasks at the behest of the Islamic Republic, prosecutors said on Monday.
“This is one of the most severe cases we’ve ever investigated. There is a real possibility that the main charge will be aiding the enemy in wartime, for which the penalty is death or life imprisonment,” said Chief Superintendent Yaron Binyamin, who heads the Lahav 433 serious crimes unit of the Israel Police.
The suspects, all residents of Haifa and the north who emigrated from Azerbaijan, include a soldier who deserted

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.'
