Pollster: Kamala Harris’ Lead in Polls Has Reached Peak (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

On Wednesday’s episode of “CNN News Central,” pollster Frank Luntz made a notable declaration regarding Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that her post-nomination “honeymoon phase” appears to have reached its peak. According to Luntz, Harris currently holds a narrow three-point lead over former President Donald Trump. However, despite this temporary advantage, Luntz cautioned that the race remains highly competitive and far from settled.

Luntz, known for his political insights, highlighted the significance of swing states in shaping the outcome of the election. He noted that polls in these crucial states have shown a tightening race between Harris and Trump. On air, Luntz pointedly criticized Trump’s campaign strategy, suggesting that the former president has failed to address the issues that voters are most concerned about. “Donald Trump is already talking about this election being stolen,” Luntz remarked.

Despite the current polling advantage for Harris, Luntz stated that the situation is reminiscent of the 2016 election, where former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton held a similar lead over Trump before ultimately losing in the electoral college. “The Harris boomlet has reached its peak,” Luntz said. “With her having roughly a three-point advantage, it mirrors the lead Hillary Clinton had over Trump on Election Day 2016. This election is way too close to call.”

Recent polling data from The New York Times/Siena College shows Harris leading Trump by 50% to 46% in key swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—states critical to Trump’s November bid. However, RealClearPolitics data indicates Trump leading by a slim margin of between 0.2% and 1.4% in several battleground states, including Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Harris is reportedly leading Trump by 1% in Wisconsin and 2% in Michigan, according to the same source.

In addition to the polling dynamics, Harris has faced criticism for her economic proposals unveiled in mid-August. Her plans to address “price gouging” by large corporations and implement a federal ban have drawn scrutiny. Critics argue that her approach could lead to higher prices and the creation of black markets.

Armed Crew Flaunts Guns Inside Colorado Apartment Building Overrun by Venezuelan Gang: Wild Video

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A shocking video shows a crew of gun-wielding men storm through a Colorado apartment building reportedly overrun by a dangerous Venezuelan prison gang.

The group of heavily armed men — including three armed with handguns and one with a rifle — enter the troubled apartment complex in the Denver suburb of Aurora and break into a unit, the clip obtained by KDVR shows.

The footage was captured earlier this month, shortly before a shootout at the complex, The Edge at Lowry, severely injured one person and damaged multiple cars, according to the local news station.

A separate clip taken at a different time shows two men violently bashing the lock of a unit with a tire iron inside the same housing complex, where migrants have moved in.

“It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,” Cindy Romero told KDVR as she moved out of the building with her husband Edward. (Read more from “Armed Crew Flaunts Guns Inside Colorado Apartment Building Overrun by Venezuelan Gang: Wild Video” HERE)

This Sleep Routine Can Cut Your Heart Disease Risk by 20%: New Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .New research finds that people who catch up on zzz’s on the weekends can cut their risk of heart disease by up to 20%.

“Sufficient compensatory sleep is linked to a lower risk of heart disease,” said study co-author Yanjun Song, a researcher with Fuwai Hospital in Beijing. “The association becomes even more pronounced among individuals who regularly experience inadequate sleep on weekdays.”

Song’s team analyzed sleep data from 90,900 UK residents. Nearly 22% — about 19,800 participants — were categorized as sleep-deprived because they slumbered less than seven hours a night on average.

Researchers followed the participants for nearly 14 years, monitoring hospital and death records for cardiac diseases including heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke.

The team found that those who logged the most compensatory sleep were 19% less likely to develop heart disease. (Read more from “This Sleep Routine Can Cut Your Heart Disease Risk by 20%: New Study” HERE)

Trump Assassination Attempt: FBI Reveals First Photos of Thomas Crooks’ Firearm, IEDs in Car Trunk

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI on Wednesday provided additional details about would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ activity before and during the July 13 campaign rally that left one man dead.

While the FBI has not established a definitive motive for the shooter or any co-conspirators with advanced knowledge of the attack, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters during a press call that Crooks had “a sustained detailed effort to plan an attack on some event, meaning he looked at any number of events or targets.”

The 20-year-old gunman “became hyper-focused” on Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when it was announced in early July. He had no identifiable political ideology, Rojek added.

Over the month leading up to the attack, Crooks made more than 60 searches related to both President Biden and former President Trump. In late September 2023, an account associated with Crooks “searched the former president’s campaign schedule and upcoming appearances in Pennsylvania,” Rojek said.

Patriots Show Up to Protest After School District Forbids Teen From Flying American Flag on Truck

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of a community in Oklahoma rallied behind a local teen whose high school has forbidden him from flying an American flag on the back of his pickup truck.

Caleb Horst just began his senior year at Edmond North High School in Edmond, Oklahoma, a city of nearly 100,000 residents about 15 miles north of Oklahoma City. Last Wednesday, he drove to school with a giant American flag attached to his truck, just as he has done “for quite a while,” he said.

However, school administrators informed him that he could not continue to fly the flag on his truck and warned him not to show up with the flag on Monday.

Rather than heed the warning, Horst and dozens of his fellow American patriots, both students and members of the community, drove to the school’s campus Monday morning and peacefully protested the ban on American flags affixed to vehicles.

According to the New York Post, more than 50 cars arrived at 7 a.m. that morning — some adorned in the red, white, and blue — to show their support for Horst and for public displays of patriotism more generally. They even recited the Pledge of Allegiance together. (Read more from “Patriots Show Up to Protest After School District Forbids Teen From Flying American Flag on Truck” HERE)

‘Willful, Deliberate, Premeditated’: Jury Finds Former Democratic Official Guilty of Murdering Reporter

/1 Comment/in , /by

A jury found a former Democratic Las Vegas elected official guilty of murdering a reporter Wednesday.

Robert Telles, 47, the former Clark County Public Administrator, was found guilty of first-degree murder over the death of Jeff German, who was a reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, according to the outlet.

German was stabbed to death on Sept.2, 2022. Tellas had lost the Democratic primary in June 2022, a failure that was attributed partly to German’s articles about alleged misconduct, CNN reported. German had written on allegations that Tellas had engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a “staffer” and fostered a “hostile work environment.”

The jury found the murder was “willful, deliberate, and premeditated,” according to a video shared to Twitter.

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, seems to have tripled down on her apparent Trump support in the face of haters. . .

After intense backlash, Mahomes appeared to remove the like on social media. Still, according to Fox News, the former soccer player “appeared to like several comments on her most recent Instagram post that indicated support for Trump.”

One of the comments she liked said “TRUMP-VANCE 2024.”

Poll Reveals Majority of Americans Doubt Kamala Harris’ Sincerity, Prefer Trump’s Authenticity

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a striking new poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov from August 25-27, a majority of Americans express doubts about Vice President Kamala Harris’ sincerity, suggesting she speaks to placate rather than genuinely believe in her messages. The poll, which surveyed 1,554 Americans, reveals that 53 percent of respondents believe Harris is merely telling the public what they want to hear, rather than conveying her true beliefs. Only 35 percent of those surveyed think Harris genuinely believes in what she says, with 12 percent remaining unsure.

The skepticism towards Harris’ sincerity extends to registered voters, with 54 percent of the 1,368 sampled expressing doubts about her authenticity. This contrasts sharply with the 39 percent who believe in her genuine conviction and the 7 percent who are unsure. The trend is particularly pronounced among independent voters, where only 21 percent view Harris as sincere, while 56 percent believe she is just saying what she thinks will please voters. Another 22 percent of independents are uncertain about her sincerity.

The poll results present a stark contrast to the public perception of former President Donald Trump. According to the same survey, 51 percent of Americans view Trump as speaking from his own beliefs, compared to 39 percent who think he is simply trying to appease voters. Among registered voters, 53 percent see Trump as sincere, while 41 percent believe he is more concerned with pleasing the public. Nearly half of independent voters, 48 percent, regard Trump as expressing his own views, compared to 36 percent who think he is placating voters. Only 16 percent of independents are unsure about Trump’s sincerity.

These findings underscore a significant divide in public perception between Harris and Trump. The poll also highlights a broader sentiment among voters, who perceive Trump as a stronger leader compared to Harris, who is viewed as weak in leadership qualities, as reported by Breitbart News.

With a margin of error of ± 3.2 percentage points, the poll reflects a clear preference among Americans for leaders they believe are authentic and genuine, pointing to a growing dissatisfaction with the perceived insincerity of current political figures.
