Teamsters Union Refuses to Endorse Kamala Harris; Polling Shows Most Members Support Donald Trump

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Teamsters Union, representing more than one million union workers, will not endorse any candidate in 2024’s presidential election even as polling reveals that the majority of members support former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The Teamsters thank all candidates for meeting with members face-to-face during our unprecedented roundtables,” Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said in a statement:

Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business. We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries — and to honor our members’ right to strike — but were unable to secure those pledges. [Emphasis added]

On Wednesday, the union released polling taken of Teamsters members showing that almost 60 percent support Trump while just 34 percent support Harris. In a prior townhall straw poll from April through July, before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, 44 percent of members said they supported Biden while 36 percent said they backed Trump.

Teamsters executives said the polling “showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support among the membership for President Trump.” (Read more from “Teamsters Union Refuses to Endorse Kamala Harris; Polling Shows Most Members Support Donald Trump” HERE)

Trump-Vance Campaign Drops New Ad Calling Out ‘Kamala & the Democrats’ for Being ‘the Party of Violence’

/2 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, approximately 24 hours after there was a second assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump, the Trump-Vance campaign released an ad highlighting how “KAMALA & THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF VIOLENCE.”

The ad starts off with examples featuring Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. During her 2018 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Harris is shown saying, “Does one of us have to come out alive?” when asked by the host whom she’d rather be stuck on an elevator with: Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions. Her signature cackle is also prominently displayed.

In addition to Biden referencing on multiple occasions how he’d like to take Trump “behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,” there are also examples featuring Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Hillary Clinton, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), former Attorney General Eric Holder, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Madonna.

The ad has been shared on the Team Trump Facebook and Instagram pages as well. Also on Monday, the Trump-Vance campaign sent out an exhaustive list of how “Democrats’ Rhetoric Inspired Another Attempt On President Trump’s Life.”

Here Are the Chilling Remarks Jasmine Crockett Made Hours Before Assassination Attempt Against Trump

/1 Comment/in , , /by

On Sunday, there was another assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump, the second in just over two months’ time. Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media have been fanning the flames with inflammatory rhetoric, including that very day. Earlier on Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) appeared on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” to talk about domestic terrorism.

“Right now I feel like MAGA in general, they are threats to us domestically, and we see it time and time again,” which she then used to claim “there’s only one person qualified to be the commander-in-chief,” speaking about Vice President Kamala Harris.

Crockett’s remarks were included in an exhaustive list from the Trump-Vance campaign sent out on Monday afternoon addressing how “Democrats’ Rhetoric Inspired Another Attempt On President Trump’s Life.”

The list highlighted how “Democrats used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the two assassination attempts.”

DeSantis Doesn’t Trust Federal Government to Look into Apparent Assassination Attempt Against Trump. Florida Will Conduct Own Probe.

/2 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed doubts Monday about the federal government’s ability to fairly and objectively investigate the apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

His solution: Florida will conduct its own state investigation into the Sunday incident at Trump’s golf club near West Palm Beach.

DeSantis acknowledged that the federal government is pursuing the matter.

“I understand that the feds are involved, but, but we do believe that there were multiple violations of state law,” he said at a news conference in Orlando.

He amplified on why he said the state would conduct its own investigation. “We also believe that there’s a need to make sure that, that the truth about all this comes out in a way, you know, that’s credible.

“I mean I look at the federal government with all due respect to them, you know, those same agencies that are prosecuting Trump in that jurisdiction are now going to be investigating this. I just think that that may not be the best thing for this country. (Read more from “DeSantis Doesn’t Trust Federal Government to Look into Apparent Assassination Attempt Against Trump.

Hillary Clinton Wants Department of Justice to Jail Americans for Exercising Free Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Recently, Hillary Clinton sparked controversy when she suggested that Americans spreading misinformation, particularly about election interference, should potentially face criminal or civil penalties. In a conversation with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Clinton discussed how both foreign actors, like Russia, and certain Americans engaged in what she sees as propaganda during the 2016 election, boosting Trump’s campaign. She expressed frustration over how this misinformation is handled and hinted that legal action against Americans involved could serve as a deterrent​.

If you don’t think the Democrats are coming after free speech in January if they win the election, these statements by former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should have you concerned.

“Just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this propaganda,” Clinton said. “Whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence.”

This statement has led to renewed criticism of Clinton’s past, with some pointing out the irony given her husband, former President Bill Clinton, famously misled the public during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Critics argue that under such a law, Bill Clinton could have faced legal consequences for his own “misinformation” when he denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky​. (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Wants Department of Justice to Jail Americans for Exercising Free Speech” HERE)

Pope Francis’ Claim ‘All Religions Are a Path to God’ Rebuked by Clergy

/2 Comments/in , /by

During a three-day visit to Singapore, Pope Francis declared that “all religions are a path to God,” sparking backlash among religious leaders in the U.S.

The statement was made at an interreligious meeting with young people at a Catholic junior college shortly before his departure back to Rome.

Departing from his prepared remarks, Francis spoke off the cuff, stating that different religions are like “different languages” to reach God.

“If you start to fight, ‘my religion is more important than yours, mine is true and yours isn’t,’ where will that lead us?” he asked,” according to Crux Now. “There’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Some are Sheik, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and they are different paths [to God].”

Reacting to the pontiff’s comments, Bishop Joseph Strickland, who oversaw the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tyler, Texas, until his dismissal by the Vatican last year, said in a post on X, “Please pray for Pope Francis to clearly state that Jesus Christ is the only Way. To deny this is to deny Him. If we deny Christ, He will deny us, He cannot deny Himself.”

Ads in Four Swing States Criticize Kamala Harris for Supporting Teenage Gender Transitions

/1 Comment/in , /by

Attack ads airing in the swing states of Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have been criticizing Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris for her past support of taxpayer-funded transition of teenagers.

The 30-second ads from the conservative advocacy group CatholicVote say that 236 underage girls had their breasts removed with taxpayer funds. The ads reportedly used Medicaid data “listing the number of girls under 18 receiving mastectomies and hysterectomies in each state, as well as the number receiving hysterectomies,” per the Washington Times.

“Sound weird? Disgusting? It is. And you’re paying for it,” the narrator says in the ads. “Kamala Harris supports these taxpayer-funded sex-change operations. A vote for Harris: a vote for medical experiments on kids.”

CatholicVote President Brian Burch said that the ad calls attention to the “size, scope and money involved in the trans agenda being pushed on our kids.”

Burch continued, “Talk about weird, physically healthy boys and girls are having their genitals and sexual organs destroyed, and Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies in the Senate not only think that’s acceptable, but are forcing taxpayers to pay for it.” (Read more from “Ads in Four Swing States Criticize Kamala Harris for Supporting Teenage Gender Transitions” HERE)

Questions Arise Over Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Shady Connections in Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man who is suspected of an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, had connections in Iran that are leading some security experts to question if there was Iranian involvement.

A New York Times reporter who had interviewed Routh last year wrote on Sunday that Routh was working to recruit former Afghan special operations soldiers who had fled to Iran to go fight in Ukraine.

The reporter, Thomas Gibbons-Neff, wrote that when he was writing an article on volunteer fighters in Ukraine last year, his former Afghan colleague and friend Najim Rahim had put him in touch with Routh, who he had learned about from a source of his in Iran, a former Afghan special operations soldier.

A number of U.S.-trained Afghan special operations forces had fled to Iran after the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. Since those forces were trained by U.S. special operations forces, the Afghan commandos’ escape into Iran potentially delivered “closely guarded secrets on U.S. special operators” to Iran, according to Foreign Policy.

Neff suggested that Afghan commandos were interested in fighting in Ukraine because “anything, even war, was better than the conditions in Iran for Afghans after the Taliban retook Kabul in August of 2021.” (Read more from “Questions Arise Over Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Shady Connections in Iran” HERE)

Trump Assassination Attempts Mark Next Stage of America’s March Towards Banana Republic

/0 Comments/in , /by

Censorship, political prosecutions, and assassinations are common features of a third-world banana republic where the term “democracy” is used by incumbent regimes as merely a buzzword to cloak authoritarianism. If there’s ever any wonder who won the last two presidential debates run by moderators from state media, just look at who keeps getting shot at after them.

Darren Beattie, a former speechwriter in the Trump White House, characterized the “grim new reality of our ‘democracy’” as one where “we can tell whether Trump won a debate by whether an assassination attempt follows shortly thereafter.”

On Sunday, former President Donald Trump survived a second attempt on his life just days following another primetime forum against his far-left opponent. While Trump was out golfing at one of his West Palm Beach resorts, a gunman line up a scoped “AK-47-style rifle” within just 300 to 500 yards of the Republican presidential nominee. After hiding for 12 hours, the suspect was prevented from firing at Trump only because of a Secret Service agent who engaged the rifleman first.

According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, Trump still does not have full Secret Service protection because he is out of office.

“At this level that he is at right now, he’s not the sitting president. If he was, we would have had this entire golf course surrounded. But because he’s not, security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible,” Bradshaw told reporters Sunday. “I would imagine that the next time he comes to a golf course, there’ll probably be a little bit more people around the perimeter. But the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done.” (Read more from “Trump Assassination Attempts Mark Next Stage of America’s March Towards Banana Republic” HERE)

Pennsylvania Motor Voter System Will Be Audited for Noncitizen Voters

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro got mixed reviews in September 2023 when he announced Pennsylvania had implemented automatic voter registration for “eligible Commonwealth residents obtaining driver’s licenses and ID cards at Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) driver and photo license centers.”

Before Shapiro switched to automatic voter registration, anyone getting a driver’s license was given the option to register to vote. But now all applying for driver’s licenses are automatically registered and must opt out if they don’t want to be — or cannot be — registered to vote.

Opponents of the move worried that people who are not eligible to vote, such as those who are not citizens of the United States, would not opt out and would be registered anyway.

In Pennsylvania, at least 628,234 noncitizens had a state driver’s license or a non-driver’s license photo identification, according to a Right-to-Know request response obtained by Heather Honey, executive director of the Election Research Institute and co-founder of Verity Vote.

Now an investigation has been announced to look at how the state is keeping illegal voters from registering in the process of getting a driver’s license.
