Tim Walz Staggered by Cool JD Vance, Admits ‘I’m a Knucklehead’ During Genial VP Debate; Tim Roasted for ‘Uncomfortable’ Appearance During VP Debate: ‘Hard to Watch’

/41 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a “knucklehead” — while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor.

The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments — avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year.

Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes, and his eyes darted around the CBS studio. . .

The Democrat stumbled again, in what will be the most replayed moment of the debate, when he was asked about fresh reporting that he lied about having been in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre in the spring of 1989.

“Look, I will be the first to tell you I have poured my heart into my community,” Walz said in a rambling initial response. “I’ve tried to do the best I can, but I’ve not been perfect, and I’m a knucklehead at times, but it’s always been about that those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Staggered by Cool JD Vance, Admits ‘I’m a Knucklehead’ During Genial VP Debate” HERE)

Tim Walz Roasted for ‘Uncomfortable’ Appearance During VP Debate: ‘Hard to Watch’

By New York Post. Viewers of Tuesday’s vice presidential debate mocked Democrat Tim Walz as “uncomfortable,” fast-talking and struggling to limit his exuberant outbursts common on the campaign trail.

“Walz is so uncomfortable it’s hard to watch,” former “The View” host Meghan McCain posted on X.

Ex-Rolling Stone editor-in-chief Noah Schachtman described the Minnesota governor as “talking like he’s listing the side effects of a heart drug.”

“I’ve never seen a national candidate look as nervous as Tim Walz when he’s not speaking,” noted National Review editor in chief Rich Lowry.

“Walz looks rusty and nervous,” offered Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin. “Maybe he should have done some press interviews to better prepare.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Roasted for ‘Uncomfortable’ Appearance During VP Debate: ‘Hard to Watch’” HERE)

200+ Retired Generals, Admirals Endorse Trump for President

/1 Comment/in , /by

More than 200 retired U.S. generals and admirals signed a letter endorsing former President Donald Trump for president this week.

Flag Officers 4 America posted the letter on Monday from the retired military leaders in which they warned about the dangers of not electing Trump.

“It can be argued easily this is the most important election since our Nation was founded,” they said. “We are at a historic crossroad where we must either choose to stand for our Constitution and its underlying traditional values which have made America great, or we continue down the path the current administration’s top leadership is taking into the deadly abyss of socialism and authoritarian cultural Marxism.”

They said that the Democrat Party has actively worked to divide Americans into conflicting groups, known as intersectionality, even as foreign enemies have stoked anti-American and anti-Semitic extremism on college campuses.

They also warned that assessments on the threat environment that the U.S. faces, including from foreign adversaries, is so high that the country could easily get drawn into a war with a near-peer adversary and could lose.

Report: Biden-Harris in Contact With Iran Over ‘Scope’ of Attack on Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following Iran’s missile attack on Israel, a move that clearly vastly destabilized the Middle East and could even end up as the trigger for a World War III, a stunning report was released that suggested Joe Biden and Kamala Harris knew more about it than would have been expected.

In fact, the report from Caroline Glick of JNS said, “CH 14 reported that the U.S. and Iran are negotiating the scope of the strike so that the U.S. will be able to compel Israel not to retaliate.”

“Get it? The Biden-Harris administration is reportedly telling a U.S. enemy what level of assault against a U.S. ally is acceptable.”

Iran, of course, repeatedly has threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and has publicly stated its nuclear program is for that purpose.

Iran’s attack included hundreds of missiles launched against Israel, some of which were intercepted and some of which were not. Also dispatched were several gunmen to murder six people in a Jaffa train station, gunmen that Israel soon announced were “neutralized.”

Oops! Arizona Discovers An Additional 120K Registered Voters Lacking Proof Of Citizenship

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona’s Democrat elections chief announced on Monday that the state has found 120,000 additional registered voters lacking documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC), bringing the estimated total of such voters to 218,000.

“Today, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office released additional information about a new set of approximately 120,000 Arizonans who may be affected by a data coding oversight within [Arizona Department of Transporation’s] Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and Arizona voter registration databases — individuals who have lived in the state for decades and have attested under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens,” the office of Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes revealed in a press release.

As my colleague Brianna Lyman previously reported, the issue originally came to light last month when state officials revealed they “found approximately 97,000 voters who are currently listed as full-ballot voters despite having not fulfilled the requirement to provide documentary proof of citizenship to vote in statewide elections.” The error appears to have resulted “from the way the Motor Vehicle Division provides driver’s license information to the state’s voter registration system,” according to left-wing Votebeat Arizona.

Fontes said most of the affected voters are registered Republicans, according to the outlet.

In Arizona, voters registering via state registration form must show documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to vote in state and local races. Individuals who are unable to provide such documentation are registered as “federal-only” voters and can only cast ballots in federal races. (Read more from “Oops!

FEMA Website Admits Keeping You Alive In A Natural Disaster Isn’t Its Top Priority

/0 Comments/in , /by

Residents of flooded out towns across Appalachia have been forced to rely on charity relief efforts days after a Category 4 hurricane brought “biblical devastation” to communities seemingly abandoned by the federal government. While Hurricane Helene brewed over the Atlantic, the nation’s pre-eminent disaster agency was apparently distracted by concerns of “equity” and “climate resilience” over emergency preparedness.

The storm-related death toll eclipsed 100 on Monday morning as Americans desperate for resources depend on local first responders and private helicopters rather than the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). While FEMA routinely prepares for colossal rescue operations in the days leading up to major storms, such pre-staged support was clearly not available to residents in the Appalachian towns washed away by the torrential downpour from last week’s hurricane.

In an interview published with NPR on Sunday, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, who visited where the hurricane made landfall in Florida this weekend, was asked about the devastation in Tennessee and North Carolina.

“I believe it’s nine search-and-rescue teams in North Carolina,” Criswell said, with “more that are coming in today.”

“We’re sending in more resources,” the FEMA chief added, “to make sure we can get to everybody that’s been impacted by this, people that are still isolated from the effects of the storm.” (Read more from “FEMA Website Admits Keeping You Alive In A Natural Disaster Isn’t Its Top Priority” HERE)

25 Minors Among 120 Alleged Victims in Diddy Abuse Claims, Says Attorney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Houston, TX — In a shocking revelation, attorney Tony Buzbee announced at a press conference on Tuesday that 25 of the alleged victims in a sweeping legal case against music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs were minors at the time of the alleged abuse, with the youngest victim being just nine years old. The Buzbee Law Firm, in collaboration with the AVA Law Group, is representing a total of 120 plaintiffs in the case, which spans over three decades of alleged misconduct.

Buzbee detailed the demographics of the plaintiffs, stating that the group consists of an equal number of males and females, with 62% identifying as African American, 30% as white, and the remainder identifying as Hispanic or Asian. The alleged incidents reportedly occurred across more than 25 states, primarily in California, New York, Georgia, and Florida.

“Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was nine years old,” Buzbee emphasized, adding that the incidents involved individuals as young as 14 and 15. The timeline of the alleged abuses stretches from 1991 to 2024, illustrating a long-standing pattern of alleged misconduct.

Buzbee explained that many of the reported incidents occurred at high-profile gatherings such as album release parties, New Year’s Eve celebrations, and auditions, where young hopefuls seeking careers in the entertainment industry were allegedly coerced into compromising situations under the false promise of fame. “These young people were led to believe they could become stars if they complied,” he stated.

The attorney also hinted at a broader legal strategy, revealing that the lawsuits will target not only Combs but also numerous unnamed associates and entities that may have facilitated or covered up the alleged abuses. “We’re prepared to hold accountable anyone who engaged in the assault or exploitation, those who were complicit in any way, and even those who turned a blind eye,” Buzbee declared.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Buzbee promised that additional names and entities implicated in the case will soon be revealed, potentially shocking the public. “Expect revelations that will make it clear how widespread this conduct was,” he warned.

Democrats Sue to Block State Rule Requiring Ballot Hand-Counts on Election Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Monday sued the Georgia Election Board to block it from mandating a new rule that requires counties to hand-count ballots cast at polling places in the 2024 presidential election.

The DNC argues – without providing evidence – the proposal will generate chaos and in turn enable “bad-faith actors to claim that fraud has affected election results” asking a state court to declare the rule unlawful and stop it from going into effect.

Backed by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, the lawsuit alleges the hand-counting rule conflicts with state law and the board overstepped its authority when it approved it.

The rule change, approved on a 3-2 vote by allies of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, requires poll workers to hand count ballots to ensure they match the totals counted by machines. . .

The complainants further argued delays caused by the hand-counting would “introduce opportunities for bad-faith actors to claim that fraud has affected election results – a result that would undermine public confidence in the results and in the election of Democratic candidates specifically.” (Read more from “Democrats Sue to Block State Rule Requiring Ballot Hand-Counts on Election Day” HERE)

Dem Donors Funded Potentially Illegal Effort To Swing High-Stakes Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

An organization under investigation by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation received financial backing from a group of Democratic donors, according to The Associated Press.

Patriots Run Project, a group that an AP investigation found is backed by Democratic firms, has recruited conservatives to run against Republicans in competitive House and Senate races. The AP concluded that the recruits, most of whom were retired or disabled, are likely intended to serve as spoiler candidates to worsen the GOP’s odds of retaining the House and flipping the Senate in November.

“Whether it’s congressional or presidential races, this kind of activity is a real problem and it undermines the functioning of democracy,” Ohio State University law professor Edward Foley told the AP.

David Steinglass, a retired private equity fund manager, and his wife, Liz, for instance, have given more than $5 million to Democratic-aligned political committees, according to the AP. The duo, however, contributed to the campaign of Thomas Leager, a self-described “America First” candidate and gun rights advocate who is running for Senate in Wisconsin.

Leager was also one of unindicted co-conspirators in a 2020 plot to kidnap Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the AP reported. (Read more from “Dem Donors Funded Potentially Illegal Effort To Swing High-Stakes Elections” HERE)

Major Bank Allegedly De-Banked Man Due to False ‘Russiagate’ Accusations From Left-Wing Blogger

/0 Comments/in , /by

JPMorgan Chase is facing a lawsuit after it allegedly defamed a man based on false allegations from an obscure left-wing blog post, according to a complaint provided to the Daily Caller.

The feud began when a left-wing blog, The Stern Facts, posted an article by Patrick Simpson. The post falsely claimed that Florida’s Jacob Gitman and his business Monarch Air Group, LLC were affiliated with the Russian Mafia and former President Donald Trump, according to an executive summary obtained by the Caller.

Monarch has contracts with the federal government and received $160,000 from the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the past twelve months, according to USA Spending. Monarch’s website states it is a private jet and air charter company that “provides mission critical supplies” to the federal government.

The small blog has not posted anything since 2020, yet it managed to allegedly catch the attention of Chase Bank. Simpson’s post claimed “judges in multiple states” asserted that Gitman’s business was a front for the Russian mob.

But according to the blogger himself, this claim was fabricated. Nonetheless, Chase seemingly used the blog post to help justify it’s decision to de-bank Gitman. (Read more from “Major Bank Allegedly De-Banked Man Due to False ‘Russiagate’ Accusations From Left-Wing Blogger” HERE)

Disgrace: Harris Partied With Celebs in LA as Hurricane Helene Destroyed Cities

/11 Comments/in , , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris has come under scrutiny after attending a high-profile fundraiser in Los Angeles over the weekend, just as millions of Americans continued to grapple with the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene. Her appearance at the star-studded event has sparked criticism, as she prioritizes celebrity engagements over the needs of disaster victims.

At the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles, Harris was reportedly overheard saying, “Oh, it’s good to be home!” as she mingled with notable figures such as Demi Lovato, Stevie Wonder, and Jessica Alba. The Harris-Walz fundraiser, aimed at raising campaign funds, generated over $28 million, highlighting the Vice President’s strong ties to Hollywood.

However, her participation in the event came at a time when President Joe Biden announced that the federal government would not be providing further resources for hurricane relief.

In response to the backlash, Harris cut her fundraising tour short, returning to Washington, D.C. on Monday morning. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit storm-affected areas in Georgia to assist with relief efforts, further contrasting the two political figures’ responses to the crisis.

Harris’s strong relationship with Hollywood has been a cornerstone of her political career, especially after securing significant donations following Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race. However, as economic pressures mount and ordinary Americans face record-high consumer prices, some media outlets are cautioning the Democrats about their perceived disconnect with the average voter.

NBC News recently highlighted the potential risks associated with the party’s reliance on celebrity endorsements, suggesting that such associations may leave Democrats vulnerable to Republican criticisms of being out of touch. “In the process, Democrats can open themselves up to an easy line of attack from Republicans: Democrats cater to Hollywood, not average Americans,” noted NBC reporter Matt Dixon.
