The Specter of a Kamala Harris Presidency Roils the 2024 Race for the White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

Forget about President Biden. Nikki Haley is warning voters that the 2024 election is about making sure his sidekick Kamala Harris does not slip through a back door to the presidency.

Ms. Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, has been sounding the alarm on the stump, social media and television, saying Mr. Biden, 80, will not last a second four-year term and is poised to hand over the Oval Office keys to Ms. Harris.

“I am not running against Joe Biden; I am running against Kamala Harris,” Ms. Haley said recently on Fox News. “The idea we are going to have a president Kamala Harris is unthinkable.”

Ms. Haley is rolling into a broader argument that she is the more electable Republican in a general election matchup than former President Donald Trump, whom she called “the most disliked politician in America.” According to her reasoning, a vote for Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump is a vote for Ms. Harris.

The status of Ms. Harris, who has scored the lowest approval rating of any vice president in recent history, is a strong undercurrent in the race for the White House. (Read more from “The Specter of a Kamala Harris Presidency Roils the 2024 Race for the White House” HERE)

Japan’s Leader Tells UN He Wants Meeting With Kim Jong Un, ‘Without Conditions’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida late Tuesday night reiterated an offer to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to find a diplomatic path forward amid growing tensions over Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program.

Kishida said his country was willing to resolve all of its issues with its isolated neighbor, including the highly controversial kidnappings of civilians to train as spies.

“From the perspective of opening up a new era together, I would like to convey my determination to meet with President Kim Jong Un face-to-face at any time without any conditions,” Kishida said during his speech at the United Nations, adding he would welcome “high-level talks” under his “direct supervision.”

Kishida, the final global leader to speak in a day of speeches that began at 9 a.m., also pledged $20 million to help rid the world of nuclear weapons, something he described as his life’s work. Kishida represents Hiroshima, the site of the world’s first nuclear attack. (Read more from “Japan’s Leader Tells UN He Wants Meeting With Kim Jong Un, ‘Without Conditions'” HERE)

Iran Declares Victory Over U.S. In Speech at United Nations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi declared “victory” over the United States and “the old liberal order” during his appearance at the U.N. General Assembly.

“The endeavors to universalize American ideals throughout the world have proven to be failures,” Raisi told world leaders assembled in New York. “There is a collective hope for the establishment of a novel and equitable world order. Central to the forthcoming international order is the abandonment of global arrogance in favor of regional cooperation and orders.”

Raisi struck that triumphalist note just days after the first anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was in the custody of Iran’s so-called morality police when she died, sparking nationwide protests. The Iranian president derided that public outcry, which he attributed to foreign influence.

“Last year was the year of the victory of the people of Iran,” Raisi said, per a live U.N. interpreter. “Certain Western nations and their intelligence services during the past year made a grave mistake by the miscalculation that didn’t [fail] to diminish and undervalue and underestimate the power of the Iranian people.” (Read more from “Iran Declares Victory Over U.S. In Speech at United Nations” HERE)

Border Patrol Tells Illegal Aliens ‘They Can Do Whatever They Want’ Upon Being Dropped off in San Diego

/0 Comments/in , /by

The southern border continues to be met with hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants daily; Border Patrol agents are taking matters into their own hands as President Joe Biden refuses to take action.

On Friday, Border Patrol agents released hundreds of illegal aliens onto the streets of San Diego, California, after being picked up at the U.S.-Mexico border.

According to footage captured by Fox News, several dozens of illegal aliens were seen exiting one of three unmarked Border Patrol buses that arrived in San Diego near a transit terminal.

One illegal immigrant can be heard asking an agent if he was allowed to travel to Chicago. A Border Patrol agent responded, “You can do whatever you want. You’re free.” (Read more from “Border Patrol Tells Illegal Aliens ‘They Can Do Whatever They Want’ Upon Being Dropped off in San Diego” HERE)

Poll: Half of U.S. Young Adults Say Open Marriages Are ‘Acceptable’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Young adults, as well as Democrats, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those living with a partner are most accepting of open marriages — “a marriage where both spouses agree that they can date or have sex with other people” — Pew Research Center found.

The survey, which was conducted with 5,073 respondents between April 10-16 and published in September, found that more than half (51 percent) of young adults ages 18-29 say open marriages are “acceptable.” Young adults are the age group most likely to hold this view, with older adults expressing less support as they increase in age.

“Fewer than half of those ages 30 to 49 (41 percent) say these marriages are acceptable, as do 26 percent of those 50 to 64 and 15 percent of those 65 and older. And 70 percent of adults 65 and older say these marriages are unacceptable,” according to the survey report.

Overall, U.S. adults are more unsupportive of open marriages, with 33 percent calling them “acceptable,” and 50 percent calling them “unacceptable.” Sixteen percent of respondents say open marriage is “neither” acceptable nor unacceptable.

Joe Biden’s 2024 Re-Election Campaign Hit With More Bad News

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s nothing more deflating to a presidential re-election bid than being in the White House when the poverty rate spikes. There are more poor people in Joe Biden’s America. Is that Bidenomics at work? Joe Biden hasn’t solved the crippling inflation crisis. Economic growth reports can comically be taken apart for their fugazi math, and a looming real estate crisis threatens to pull the rug out from under all of us. But Biden can’t tend to these matters. One day of work requires four days of vacation.

Even when Maui burned, Biden went on not one but two vacations before he decided to trot over to oversee the damage done by one of the worst wildfires in 100 years. And now, there are more poor people in America (via ABC News):

The poverty rate in the United States increased last year, the first increase in 13 years, according to the Census Bureau.

In 2022, the poverty rate was 12.4%, up 4.6% from 2021, according to the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which looks at government programs and tax credits designed to help low-income families, according to the census.

The expiration of pandemic programs, including refundable tax credits and stimulus payments, at the start of 2022, led to an increase in the SPM over the official poverty rate, the census reported.

Anti-Porn Laws Are Sweeping the Country, but There’s One Crucial Problem Lawmakers Will Need to Confront

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pornographic websites now have to verify the age of their users in several states, yet some advocates are claiming that the laws not only invade user privacy, but are also difficult — if not impossible — to enforce.

The pornography industry has argued in court that these laws would force pornographic websites to keep a database of sensitive information regarding their viewers. The industry also claims that the laws are easily evaded, meaning bad actors in the industry could operate black market sites that capitalize on exploitation and illegal content. The Free Speech Coalition, which is representing PornHub in a lawsuit in Texas, argued in a complaint that the law is “the least effective and yet also the most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’ stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors.”

Likely fearing some sort of enforcement mechanism, PornHub did block users in certain states before the laws took effect, including Mississippi, Virginia and Utah. Users who try to visit PornHub’s website in these states are met with a message from a fully-clothed pornographic film star explaining why the site is no longer available.

“While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk,” the message reads.

Zelensky Lectures the World About Climate Change, Tries New Tactic for Increased Aid (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Volodymyr Zelensky must have an inkling that his unlimited check could soon be running out because the Ukrainian president is trying out a new sales pitch to world leaders: We need to defeat Russia, or evil dictators will “weaponize” the damaging effects of climate change.

Zelensky made his case in the form of a lecture on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly.

“Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives, this means that extreme weather will still impact normal global life and some evil state will also weaponize its outcomes,” he said. “And when people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest — we all have seen them — and when people in Morocco and Libya, and other countries die as a result of natural disasters, and when islands and countries disappear underwater, and when tornadoes and deserts are spreading into — into new territories, and when all of this is happening, one, a natural disaster in Moscow, decided to launch a big war and killed tens of thousands of people. We have to stop it.”

So it seems Zelensky is implying that Russian President Vladimir Putin took advantage of climate change — global boiling as the U.N. calls it — to attack Ukraine.

Hunter Biden to Plead Not Guilty to Federal Gun Charges: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, will reportedly plead not guilty to federal gun charges, his lawyers said in a new court filing this week.

Hunter Biden’s legal team requested in the Tuesday letter to the Court that he be allowed to make his initial appearance in court via a video call.

“We write on behalf of our client, Robert Hunter Biden, in response to the Court’s Order issued on September 18, 2023, related to Mr. Biden’s initial appearance,” Biden attorney Abbe Lowell wrote in a letter to U.S. Magistrate Judge from the District of Delaware Christopher Burke. “We respectfully request that the Court hold Mr. Biden’s initial appearance in this matter by video conference.”

“Mr. Biden also will enter a plea of not guilty, and there is no reason why he cannot utter those two words by video conference,” Lowell continued. “In short, Mr. Biden is satisfied that his constitutional rights will be met by conducting his initial appearance by video conference.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden to Plead Not Guilty to Federal Gun Charges: Report” HERE)
