‘Little Worried’: Fmr Obama Advisor Raises Concerns That Harris’ Closing Message Could Alienate Swing Voters

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Obama advisor Tommy Vietor expressed concerns Tuesday on his podcast about Vice President Kamala Harris’ closing message on former President Donald Trump, suggesting her labeling him a fascist might alienate undecided swing voters.

Over the past week, corporate media and the Harris campaign have amplified comparisons of Trump to Hitler, following comments from Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, John Kelly, who told The New York Times and The Atlantic that Trump “met the definition of a fascist” and reportedly admired figures like Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. On “Pod Save America,” Vietor voiced his concern over this messaging, saying the tone has become “mixed,” sounding “partisan and hyperbolic.”

“I’m a little worried about the balance of the moment and not because of the message testing of ads. It’s just because you have to ask yourself what is breaking through in the closing days, and I do think it is primarily this conversation about Trump and fascism,” Vietor said. “I think it’s valuable to say the top people that worked for him don’t trust him to be president again — I think that’s alarming new information, probably for a lot of people. But it’s gotten mixed in with conversations about praising Hitler’s generals and things that I think just sound partisan and hyperbolic, and a lot of people brush it off.”

One of Vietor’s co-hosts then stepped in to defend the Harris campaign’s rhetoric, noting that CNN’s Anderson Cooper had raised the topic of Trump being called a fascist. Vietor clarified that while he wasn’t placing blame on anyone for focusing on the subject, he emphasized that swing voters might be more concerned about the economy than this issue.

Trump: Kamala Harris Is Running a Campaign of ‘Absolute Hate’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Vice President Kamala Harris is running a “campaign of absolute hate” and her divisive rhetoric toward him is “shameful and really inexcusable” after facing two assassination attempts in recent months.

Trump was highly critical of Harris, who called him “fascist” this week, during a press conference at his luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort on Tuesday morning.

“She’s running on a campaign of demoralization and really a campaign of destruction,” Trump said. “But really, perhaps more than anything else, it’s a campaign of hate, a campaign of absolute hate.”

He then zoned in on the divisive rhetoric Harris has used in her closing argument.

“After two assassination attempts in just over three months, her lies and her slanders are very shameful and really inexcusable,” he said.

Conservative Host up and Walks off Set of Own Show When Co-Host Calls Her ‘Nazi’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Hill’s “Rising” co-host Amber Duke walked off set after her co-host Nomiki Konst said Duke “made Nazi comments in the past.”

“Rising is shorter than usual today because I chose not to continue sitting at a desk with someone who falsely accused me of ‘Nazi writings’ because they were losing an argument,” Duke, who previously worked as the Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent, tweeted Tuesday.

“I think I have been unfathomably patient with my cohost but everyone has a line,” she wrote.

Trump Explains How 2020 Was ‘Rigged, Robbed, And Stolen’ On Joe Rogan Podcast; CBS Editing Harris’ Answers Is ‘Biggest Scandal In Broadcast History’

/11 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Former President Donald Trump and podcast host Joe Rogan covered a lot of ground in a sprawling three-hour conversation released online Friday night, but they kept returning to election integrity issues.

They spoke several times about mail-in ballots and voter identification. The United States should return to all paper ballots, Trump said. When ballots go through the mail, things can get “messed up,” he said, adding that paper ballots are less expensive than voting machines.

Trump and Rogan both questioned why anyone would not want a law that requires voters to show identification before they vote.

“It is one of the most bizarre and polarizing ideas that’s promoted by the left,” Rogan said.

The only reason they don’t want voter ID, Trump said, is because Democrats want to cheat.

“It is the only thing that makes sense,” Rogan said in agreement. At times like this, they finished each other’s sentences.

Trump: CBS Editing Harris’ Answers Is ‘Biggest Scandal In Broadcast History’

By The Federalist. CBS News’ use of dishonest editing to replace one of Kamala Harris’ famous word salads with a less embarrassing answer in her “60 Minutes” appearance is probably the “biggest scandal in broadcast history,” former President Donald Trump told podcast host Joe Rogan in an interview Friday night.

In the three-hour interview — which had accrued a million views within the first two hours of being published on YouTube — Trump and Rogan discussed everything from the Republican’s economic and foreign policy to personal anecdotes like how President Trump reacted to seeing the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House for the first time when he moved in.

About half an hour in, Trump’s attention turned to the “crooked” corporate media.

“They’re diminishing themselves, they’re killing all their credibility,” Rogan agreed.

But CBS News’ recent substitution of Harris’ bad answer for a better one, Trump said, was “the worst I’ve ever seen.” After releasing a preview clip of Harris’ interview that included a nonsensical response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, CBS removed her response entirely in the “full” version of the interview and dropped in a completely different answer. The original answer is conspicuously missing from the transcript that CBS released, and the network’s continued refusal to release an unedited transcript has sparked speculation that it may be hiding even more outrageous edits or even let the vice president re-do her answers.

Tim Walz Accused of Pushing Chinese Communist Party Official’s Daughter to Brink of Suicide During Storm-Tossed Love Affair in 1980s

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz had a love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official during his teaching stint in Foshan that was so stormy it drove her to the brink of suicide, The Post has learned.

Jenna Wang, 59, told The Post in a phone interview on Monday that she had fallen head over heels for the now-Minnesota governor when he was a young high school English instructor in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China.

Wang expected the passionate 1989 affair to end in a proposal — but instead, it resulted in a breakup that made her consider taking her own life.

“I was deeply insulted, hurt and I had to leave that place, because many people knew that we had a relationship,” Wang explained, saying that Walz had implied that he intended to marry her.

That included sending Wang letters after returning to the US over the following summer and even asking for a passport-sized photo of her to be sent back to Denver, she said, implying that Walz was helping her to obtain a visa.

“His lack of character, as a man, a responsible person who had worked in education or [the] military,” she added. “I thought he also loved me. I loved him.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Accused of Pushing Chinese Communist Party Official’s Daughter to Brink of Suicide During Storm-Tossed Love Affair in 1980s” HERE)

Walz Reportedly Had Romantic Relationship With China’s Wang in His 20’s

By Daily Caller. Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz allegedly had a passionate romance with the daughter of a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, the Daily Mail reported Monday.

Walz engaged in the secret tryst with Jenna Wang, then an English language teacher, during his 1989 teaching stint in the Chinese city Foshan, she told the Daily Mail.

Wang claimed the pair did not show any public affection to each other as it apparently would have bothered Wang’s father, Bin Hui, a high-ranking CCP official and chairman of a labor union in her home city Guilin, according to the outlet. Walz married Gwen Whipple in 1994.

“My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out,” Wang told the outlet.

The pair allegedly slept together and spent nights romantically dancing to the song “Careless Whisper” by George Michael, according to the outlet. (Read more from “Walz Reportedly Had Romantic Relationship With China’s Wang in His 20’s” HERE)

Trump Refers to CNN’s Anderson Cooper by a Woman’s First Name

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper with a woman’s first name in recent days as the Republican presidential nominee focuses his closing message on a hypermasculine appeal to men.

On a Friday morning post on Trump’s social media site Truth Social, the former president referred to one of the most prominent openly gay journalists in the U.S. as “Allison Cooper.”

Trump made the subtext even more explicit later Friday during a rally in Traverse City, Michigan, where he criticized a town hall Cooper hosted with Vice President Kamala Harris.

“If you watched her being interviewed by Allison Cooper the other night, he’s a nice person. You know Allison Cooper? CNN fake news,” Trump said, before pausing and saying in a mocking voice: “Oh, she said no, his name is Anderson. Oh, no.”

On Saturday, Trump repeated the name during another Michigan rally, then followed it up during a nighttime reference in Pennsylvania. “They had a town hall,” Trump said in Michigan. “Even Allison Cooper was embarrassed by it. He was embarrassed by it.” (Read more from “Trump Refers to CNN’s Anderson Cooper by a Woman’s First Name” HERE)

Democrats In North Carolina’s Helene Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.

Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,” western North Carolina native Clay McCreary said, according to The Carolina Journal. McReary is North Carolina political director of Restoration of America, an organization that has been advocating for additional voting opportunities in the disaster area. “We simply cannot allow the people of western North Carolina who have lost so much to lose their voice in the political process.”

Meanwhile, Democrats in nearby deep-blue Buncombe County, home to Asheville, have already given the go-ahead for new voting locations to replace the ones damaged by Helene, bringing the county’s total to 10.

Despite being mostly out of the news cycle, destruction in western North Carolina is still extreme, and the area has not yet recovered. (Read more from “Democrats In North Carolina’s Helene Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations” HERE)

‘Possible To Use Nuclear Weapons’: Putin Hardens Posture Against NATO Amid New Threats

/2 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a warning to NATO members: if Ukraine gets permission to use long-range missiles, it will be an open declaration of war by NATO allies, and the Russian military is already prepared for it.

Polish news outlet Super Express reported Putin has stated Moscow military commanders are currently preparing troops for an eventual war against Western allies, because Russia’s reaction will be more than diplomatic.

“Our military command is thinking about it and will propose various options for response,” Putin said, adding Russia’s position on the matter should be taken seriously because “we will have to make some decisions on our side as well.”

During the BRICS Summit in Kazan last week, Putin accused NATO of hiding behind Ukraine to fight a war against Russia.

“NATO is at war with us, but with the hands of Ukrainian soldiers. Ukraine does not spare its soldiers in the interest of third countries,” Putin said.

Kamala Harris Tries To Touch Razor-Sharp Silicon During Tour of Semiconductor Factory: ‘Straight Out of Veep’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris was told to keep her hands to herself Monday during a tour of a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Michigan, where the allure of touching “shiny” silicon almost caused a serious injury.

“Here is, actually, a harvested U-rod,” an employee at Hemlock Semiconductors in Saginaw informed Harris, 60, as she approached a large piece of silicon covered in what appeared to be plastic wrap.

“Can I touch it?” the Democratic nominee asked as her right hand hovered over the metalloid rod.

“Do not touch it,” the factory worker immediately responded. . .

“Please do not touch any of the poly,” the hard-hat wearing employee added as Harris approached an enticing plate of silicon crystal chunks, just beyond the U-rod display.

Portland Tells Voters ‘Nothing To See Here’ as Ballots Literally Go up in Flames

/1 Comment/in , /by

Two ballot drop boxes near Portland, Oregon, caught fire overnight. But the county elections director insists officials will “ensure your ballot is safe.”

“We have multiple systems and security measures in place to ensure your ballot is safe,’’ said Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott in a press release.

While left-wing officials and groups constantly insist mail-in voting and drop boxes are “safe and secure,” incidents like this show that gaps in the chain of custody pose a higher risk to one’s vote. In two recent Portland-area cases, drop boxes and ballots literally went up in flames.

The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) responded to a drop box fire on SE Belmont Street around 3:30 a.m. on Monday and found someone had set off an “incendiary device” inside, according to the release. The elections division claimed a “fire suppressant” had “protected virtually all the ballots,” and that the fire had “only” damaged three ballots.

The elections division will “contact those three voters” whose ballots burned to offer replacements, according to the release. Anyone who submitted a ballot at the targeted drop box from 3:30 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Monday should contact the elections office with concerns.
