Harris and Biden Clash in Final Weeks of Her White House Run

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden say they’re singing from the same song sheet but haven’t always been on the same page in the campaign’s final weeks.

Both have publicly said that they’re closely aligned on policy, which could be problematic in and of itself as Harris brands herself a change candidate. Yet the two were at odds when it came to a high-profile Republican governor and sharing the spotlight.

Harris has accused Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) of being “selfish” for ignoring her phone calls amid preparations for Hurricane Milton. While DeSantis pushed back strongly, saying Harris had never called him about a storm before she ran for president, that she’s “not in the chain of command” for weather operations, and advising her to look in the mirror when making accusations of politicking.

That type of cross-party argument is expected in today’s political environment, but Harris’s claims have also been undermined by her boss. Biden spoke with DeSantis over the phone Monday night and praised the Florida governor afterward.

“The governor of Florida has been cooperative,” Biden said Tuesday. “He said he’s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday. And I said, ‘I know you’re doing a great job. It’s all being done well. We thank you for it.’ And I literally gave him my personal phone number to call.” (Read more from “Harris and Biden Clash in Final Weeks of Her White House Run” HERE)

KJP Refuses To Say Whether Biden Will Leave White House For His Private Residence During Hurricane Landfall

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused Wednesday to answer whether President Joe Biden will remain at the White House or depart for his private residence during Hurricane Milton’s landfall.

Biden postponed his upcoming trip for Germany and Angola as Hurricane Milton, a Category 4 storm, is set to make landfall and potentially cause destruction in Florida. Jean-Pierre said the president does not currently have any travel plans for Florida and did not make it clear whether he intends to remain at the White House.

“Will [Biden] be here the whole time, probably, is it possible he will go to Delaware over the weekend, are you guys talking about a possible trip to Florida at some point already?” CNN senior White House correspondent MJ Lee asked.

“The president’s gonna continue to get hurricane briefings, not just on Milton, and how we’re preparing and what’s happening. He is going to be laser focused on that as well as the vice president,” Jean-Pierre said. “So he will continue to be updated, continue to get those briefings, I don’t have any travel to read out to you at this time, whether it is to the impacted areas or outside of that. What I can say is the president is going to continue to be laser focused on the storms and what’s happening, the preparations, how we are still certainly responding to the immediate needs of folks who have been impacted by Hurricane Helene as well. That is also very much in front of us and what we’re trying to do and get done there, but that’s gonna be his focus.” (Read more from “KJP Refuses To Say Whether Biden Will Leave White House For His Private Residence During Hurricane Landfall” HERE)

Conservatives Reveal Plan To Awaken Sleeping Giant Voter Demographic That Could Decide White House, Senate

/2 Comments/in , /by

A crumbling economy and porous border, or the scary project 2025 and loss of “reproductive rights”; those are the messages both parties are inundating Americans with as election day rapidly approaches.

But if Republicans hope to reach the estimated 10 million gun owners not registered to vote, hunting and pro-gun organizations alike know traditional messaging won’t do it. A coalition of pro-gun organizations believe those non-voters could swing the election, and are using hunting and firearm influencers, social media and messaging catered specifically towards gun owners to engage them.

“Bill Clinton acknowledged, as did Clinton’s campaign, the White House spokesman Joel Lockhart admitted, that the gun vote cost Al Gore the White House. It cost John Kerry the White House. It cost the Democrats control of Congress in 1994 after they passed the Clinton gun ban, and we believe it can be a determinative factor in this election in places where there’s high gun ownership, in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Arizona, Nevada,” Larry Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, told the Daily Caller.

“We believe [gun owners] will be a determinant factor, particularly when the contrast is so stark. You have a candidate on the Democrat side who was coronated and wants to literally, wants to send the police to your home to see how you store your guns, and wants to confiscate firearms,” Keane added.

Former President Donald Trump himself believes gun owners can sway the election. Speaking at a recent rally, he said that the National Rifle Association had shown him numbers about how infrequently gun owners vote. “If you would vote, nobody would beat us,” Trump said.

Category 5 Hurricane Barrels Toward Florida as Time Runs Out To Evacuate

/1 Comment/in , /by

Millions in Florida are bracing for a potentially catastrophic punch from major Hurricane Milton, which threatens a historically deep and dangerous storm surge to a large swath of Florida’s west coast along with wind gusts well over 100 mph during the next 36 hours.

Milton regained Category 5 strength Tuesday evening, a day after becoming among the strongest hurricanes on record in the Atlantic basin. When it reaches the Florida coast, it is still forecast to be a major hurricane.

“It’s worth emphasizing that this is a very serious situation,” the National Hurricane Center warned on Tuesday. “Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida.”

State officials have been scrambling since Monday to get millions off vulnerable coastlines in what is described as the largest mass evacuation in Florida since Hurricane Irma in 2017. Storm surge forecasts along the central western coast are predicting 10–15 feet of water topped with devastating waves driven by hurricane-force winds. Those levels — significantly higher than the damage wrought just last month by Hurricane Helene — would surpass anything seen in over a century in the Tampa Bay area.

“Yes, you might have ‘been through hurricanes before,'” FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross said. “But you weren’t through the 1921 storm that put water over much of Pinellas County, or the 1848 hurricane that put 15 feet of Gulf water where downtown Tampa is today.” (Read more from “Category 5 Hurricane Barrels Toward Florida as Time Runs Out To Evacuate” HERE)

Why Tampa Is the Most Vulnerable City in America for Hurricane Storm Surges

/1 Comment/in , /by

Tampa is the single most vulnerable city in the US for hurricane storm surges — thanks to a mix of fatal factors colliding to create catastrophic conditions should it take a direct hit from a major storm like the incoming Hurricane Milton, according to experts.

About 50% of the more than 3 million people living around Tampa Bay reside at elevations less than 10 feet above sea level, a 2015 study from the disaster consultants Karen Clark and Co. found — meaning millions of homes will be severely flooded if Milton’s 15-foot storm surge comes to fruition.

Tampa Bay was last hit by a major hurricane in 1921, when just a few hundred people lived in sparsely developed backwater towns — and the community was still devastated. Ocean waves broke in the middle of downtown Tampa, and swaths of infrastructure were washed away.

The area is practically tailor-made to create severe storm surges due to shallow depths in the bay and surrounding Gulf Coast. Waves blown by heavy wind can “pile up” and create a deadly wall of water, MIT meteorology professor Kerry Emanuel told The Post. . .

Finally, if Milton lands just north of Tampa, its counterclockwise rotation will slam wind and waves directly into the bay — just one more factor which led Emanuel to agree with Karen Clark and Co.’s assessment that Tampa faces surge dangers unlike any other US city.

Transgender Scheme To Have State Punish Christian Baker Gets Supreme Ruling

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A sharply divided Colorado Supreme Court, a body known for its left-leaning activism, has thrown out a transgender’s complaint against a Christian baker for refusing to use his artistry to endorse a transgender “coming-out” by a man who now represents himself as a woman.

The fight involves the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which previously was scolded by the U.S. Supreme Court for its “intolerance” of Christianity, and Masterpiece Cakeshop baker Jack Phillips.

It’s also part of a nationwide agenda by leftists promoting the LGBT ideology to force Christian photographers, bakers, florists and others to violate their faith and promote the agenda under the canopy of “nondiscrimination.”

Phillips previously won a battle before the U.S. Supreme Court after two homosexuals sued him, before the state-run commission, for refusing to use his talents to promote a same-sex wedding.

At the time that case developed, a lawyer contacted Phillips to attack him as a “hypocrite and bigot,” according to the ADF, which has represented Phillips in multiple attacks on his faith over 12 years.

Harris Finally Takes Full Ownership of Every Disastrous Biden Policy

/3 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed her alignment with President Joe Biden during an interview on Tuesday morning on “The View.”

Harris was asked whether she would have “done something differently than President Biden during the past four years.”

In her response, she ostensibly admitted that a Harris presidency would be no different from Biden’s.

“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,” she replied.

Wall Street Journal senior political correspondent Molly Ball reacted to Harris’ response, stating, “I’m surprised, frankly, that she doesn’t have more to say about this given that she and her campaign know that this is one of the main questions that voters have about her.” (Read more from “Harris Finally Takes Full Ownership of Every Disastrous Biden Policy” HERE)

Robert Saleh Wearing Lebanese Flag on Outfit Played a Part in Jets Firing: Joe Benigno

/1 Comment/in , /by

Joe Benigno said he couldn’t help but get political when discussing Jets coach Robert Saleh’s firing on Tuesday following two straight losses to the Vikings and Broncos.

The sports radio personality said he believes that Saleh’s wardrobe — when he wore a patch of the Lebanese flag on his team sweatshirt during Gang Green’s 23-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday — had something to do with Jets owner Woody Johnson pulling the plug on his head coach.

“I gotta say something else and I hate to get political but I have to in this case,” Benigno said during an appearance on “The Jake Asman Show” Tuesday.

“Saleh had the flag of Lebanon on his shirt the other day in London. Now we all know what’s going on in the Middle East. There is no sugarcoating of what’s going on in the Middle East. We all know about Hezbollah firing all these rockets out of Lebanon, and all what’s going on there, into Israel.

“… We know he is Muslim. I think he is representing the people of Lebanon because I don’t believe the people of Lebanon really are happy with Hezbollah. I don’t think that’s the case at all. And I wonder if that has played into this in a way as well because I did see this on the regular news that this was actually brought up.”

Doug Emhoff Accused of Serial Sexual Misconduct in Explosive New Report

/3 Comments/in , /by

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ husband Dough Emhoff was allegedly routinely “inappropriate” and “misogynistic,” according to his former colleagues.

Emhoff previously managed the law firm Venable’s Los Angeles Office from 2006 to 2017, according to the Daily Mail. Attorneys who worked at the firm accused him of shouting expletives and “asshole” behavior.

An ex-staffer told the outlet anonymously that Emhoff allegedly boasted to management about how he “put [his secretary] in her place” after telling her to “Get the fuck out of my office.”

A former female staffer told the Daily Mail that Emhoff was known for being “very flirty.”

“If you weren’t flirty back or didn’t respond positively then you were on his shit list,” she told the outlet.

Nevada’s Failed Mass Mail-In Ballot Experiment Should Have Been A Case Study, Not A Blueprint

/0 Comments/in , , /by

You would think that with all the new technology nowadays our voting and election process would be reliable and effective. That is not the case in Nevada, where it took a lawsuit to force a Clark County election official to clean up the voter rolls.

What should have been a one-time failed experiment of automatically mailing a ballot to every active registered voter in 2020 is now the norm. The automatic mass mailing of ballots sounds nice. The reality is that it sent ballots to strip clubs, casinos, and bars.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (of which I am president) photographed hundreds of commercial addresses listed as residences on the Nevada voter roll. Some of these addresses included a Sonic Drive-In, the Las Vegas Airport, a 7-Eleven gas station, vacant lots, Binion’s casino, and the Larry Flynt Hustler club.

We delivered this information, including pictures of the locations where it appeared people did not live, to Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo. All we wanted her to do was investigate these addresses and, if her office found that no one lived at these addresses, make corrections to the voter roll before the 2024 presidential election ballots hit the mail.

We waited for a response, but weeks of crickets from Clark County forced us to file a lawsuit. As a direct result of this litigation, Clark County investigated and made corrections to the voter roll — ensuring mail ballots will not be sent to commercial addresses where no one lives.
