Postal Union Issues Trump Letter: ‘Existential Threat’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

As we approach the November election, a letter from the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has raised eyebrows. The letter warns that if former President Donald Trump wins, it could pose an “existential threat” to the union and its members. Signed by Georgia NALC President Don Griggs, this communication urges members to think carefully about their voting choices, suggesting that the consequences could significantly impact their jobs and the union’s future.

The letter specifically criticizes Trump’s agenda, particularly Project 2025, despite him having no involvement, painting it as a threat to organized labor. It claims that if Trump were to take office again, he would appoint allies opposed to union interests throughout the executive branch.

Among the assertions made are proposals that could fundamentally change the labor landscape: banning public employee unions, replacing private-sector unions with company-controlled alternatives, and allowing states to bypass federal overtime and minimum wage standards. It even mentions the potential repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets wage requirements on federal projects.

However, the situation became more complicated when Griggs later clarified that he did not authorize the letter, stating it was sent out by the AFL-CIO without his permission. He expressed surprise at its contents, indicating that he would have preferred the national union to communicate directly with its members rather than through state-level channels.

The NALC’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris further highlights the ongoing alignment between labor organizations and Democratic candidates. This move has left many conservatives questioning the priorities of unions that traditionally stood for workers’ rights.

As the election nears, it’s vital for all voters, including union members, to consider the implications of their choices. While the NALC’s letter expresses fear over a Trump presidency, supporters of Trump see an opportunity for pro-business policies that would benefit workers and the economy at large.

How the FBI Is Willing to Risk Your Safety to Get Kamala Elected

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Shortly after the two ABC moderators entered the presidential debate on the side of Kamala Harris, there was a brief moment when Donald Trump pushed back. It happened when David Muir finished one of his drive-by “fact-checks,” concerning the crime rate in this country. The moderator intended to immediately ask Kamala Harris a question, so that Trump couldn’t respond. But Trump did respond, and the moderator had no answer to what he said. Watch:

If you’re going to debate a candidate, when you’re really supposed to be the moderator, then you should at least be able to debate. But Muir had no answer when Trump refuted his canned talking point about FBI data. He sheepishly had to pivot to Kamala, who started laughing awkwardly. . .

This summer, when the FBI released its Quarterly Uniform Crime Report showing that crime was down, they didn’t include data from New York or Los Angeles. The NYPD and LAPD are the two biggest police forces in the entire country, but they didn’t report their data at all, apparently because they couldn’t comply with the FBI’s new data-tracking requirements in time. And that wasn’t particularly unusual. Back in 2022, roughly one-third of the country’s 6,000 police agencies didn’t report crime data to the FBI. This isn’t some partisan point I’m making. The FBI admitted all of this.

Yesterday, though, the FBI released its latest updated annual report. And the agency claims that this time around, the report comprehensively documents violent crimes that occurred in 2023 because the data comes from law enforcement agencies that cover more than 95% of the country’s population — including the NYPD and LAPD. According to the new data, car thefts went up by around 20% from 2022 to 2023. So that’s a massive increase. But violent crime was supposedly down overall by 3%, while “murder and non-negligent homicide” were down more than 10%. Reported rapes were down nearly 10% as well, and property crimes dropped 2.5%.

One Republican State Senator Paves Way for Trump to Possibly Lose by Single Electoral Vote

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A single Republican state senator has opened up a potential nightmare scenario for former President Donald Trump.

Republican Nebraska State Sen. Mike McDonnell announced Monday that he opposes changing the state’s current system, where presidential candidates are awarded one electoral vote for each congressional district they win, plus two votes for whoever wins the whole state, to a winner-take-all allocation. McDonnell’s refusal to back the change would allow Vice President Kamala Harris to lose every Sub Belt swing state and still defeat Trump 270 to 268 if she pulls off victories in the Rust Belt and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

Without McDonnell’s support, Nebraska Republicans have no path to overcome a filibuster blocking the change to how electoral votes are allocated, according to the Nebraska Examiner.

In the event that Trump and Harris each receive 269 electoral votes in November, the House delegations for each state would vote for their preferred candidate and the candidate with the most states backing them takes the White House — a process that would favor Trump as 26 states currently have majority-Republican delegations, according to CNN.

Every other state in the union, with the exception of Maine, awards electoral votes on a winner-takes-all basis. President Joe Biden won Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District in 2020, however, Trump won it in 2016.

SHOCK ENDORSEMENT: You Think This Endorsement Is Going to Give Kamala’s Team Heartburn?

/20 Comments/in , , /by

After all the pandering and sanitized statements concerning the war in Gaza, the Democrats’ plan to keep Michigan from falling away might not be working. It’s not a slam dunk, but this mayor’s endorsement is rather damning for the Kamala Harris team, which has worked overtime to keep Muslim Americans from either staying home or, worse, backing Trump. The former was likely the biggest fear, as Arab American voters are incensed over Israel’s justified war of self-defense in the region against Hamas. Yet, in Hamtramck, Michigan, America’s only Muslim-majority city, its Democrat mayor decided to make his 2024 decision public: He’s voting for Trump (via Fox News):

The mayor of a Muslim-majority city in Michigan says he is endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, calling the former commander-in-chief, “the right choice for this critical time.”

Amer Ghalib, mayor of the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck, announced his endorsement of Trump in a Facebook post Sunday. While admitting he and Trump didn’t “agree on everything,” he said he regarded the former commander-in-chief as “a man of principles.”

“Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time,” Ghalib wrote in Arabic on his Facebook page. “I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.”

‘Finish the Job’: DOJ Publishes Bounty Offer From Latest Would-Be Trump Assassin; Bill Barr Blasts DOJ for Releasing Letter: ‘Dumbfounded’

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Prosecutors for the U.S. Department of Justice released a letter, allegedly penned by the man arrested for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump as he golfed in West Palm Beach last week, which offers a $150,000 reward to anyone who could “complete the job” of murdering the Republican candidate.

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you,” the letter addressed to the “World” reads. “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

The alleged author of the letter, Ryan Routh, attributed Democrat and corporate media rhetoric painting Trump as “unfit to be anything, much less a US president,” as motivation for his crime. He also blamed Trump’s decision to cut ties with Iran as the primary reason the “Middle East has unraveled.” . . .

According to court papers, Routh dropped off the letter in a package with an unnamed person “several months prior” to the golf course assassination attempt. It wasn’t until days after Routh’s arrest, however, that the “civilian witness” reportedly first opened the box containing “ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters” and alerted authorities.

The circumstances surrounding the letter’s appearance raise many questions. The content of the letter, however, makes clear that the would-be assassin’s ultimate goal in hiding in the bushes at Trump International Golf Course on September 15 was to permanently remove Trump from the planet by whatever means necessary.

Bill Barr Blasts DOJ for Releasing Letter of Alleged Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Wesley Routh: ‘Dumbfounded’

By New York Post. Former US Attorney General William Barr panned the Justice Department he once ran for publicly disclosing a chilling letter from the man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump earlier this month.

In a court filing Monday, prosecutors released the disturbing note they claim was authored by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, as proof of his intention to kill the 45th president.

“I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump,” Barr told Fox News.

Prosecutors claimed to have acquired that note — addressed “To the World” — from an unnamed source who found it in a box they said was delivered to them by Routh prior to the shooting last week.

“The letter calls on people to ‘finish the job’ of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage,” Barr went on.

‘Radioactive’: Radical Historian Says America ‘Walking Into a Doomsday Scenario’ if This Presidential Candidate Wins

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Historian Douglas Brinkley claimed Monday that the election of former President Donald Trump would usher in a “doomsday scenario,” just over a week after an assassination attempt on Trump was thwarted by the Secret Service.

The Secret Service thwarted the apparent assassination attempt on Trump September 15 by firing shots at Ryan Welsey Routh, who was allegedly lurking near Trump International Golf Club, two months after Trump was shot and slightly wounded in the right ear while giving a speech at a July 13 campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Brinkley and “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski maintained that criticism of Trump did not lead to the assassination attempt. “What would you say to those that say you can’t even suggest that Donald Trump doing all that he did is a threat to democracy or else you’re engaging in political hate speech?” Scarborough asked.

“What would you say to those that say you can’t even suggest that Donald Trump doing all that he did is a threat to democracy or else you’re engaging in political hate speech?” Scarborough asked.

“Well, it’s nonsense. You know, I’m a — I’m a practicing Catholic. When I see somebody like Donald Trump, it’s shot in the ear or what almost happened in Mar-a-Lago, you know, your prayers go off for him because you honor all humans. But if you’re talking about the danger, the inherent danger of Donald Trump, he’s radioactive,” Brinkley claimed. “He wants to come in and gut government because it’s rhetoric that sounds good. And you start trying to get rid of civil service, collapse the federal government, you are going to find a country in disarray.” . . .

“We’re walking into a doomsday scenario if Trump gets in. People better wake up, take the smelling salt and, you know, and pay attention right now,” Brinkley continued. “These next — these next days are going to be fast.” (Read more from “‘Radioactive’: Radical Historian Says America ‘Walking Into a Doomsday Scenario’ if This Presidential Candidate Wins” HERE)

Yikes: Kamala’s Confused Comment About Trump Shows Why They Don’t Want Her Answering Questions

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Kamala Harris proved again on Sunday why her team doesn’t seem to like having her take questions.

Usually when she’s traveling back and forth, you see her running from the car to the plane and completely blowing off the press that might be waiting there, hoping to slip in a question. But for some reason, on Sunday, the press managed to get in at least a couple of queries when she was traveling to New York.

It did not go well.

Kamala says she’ll outline her “vision for the economy” this week that will deal with “what we can create in terms of opportunity for the American people in making an opportunity economy which really is in short form it’s about what we can do more to invest in the aspirations, the ambitions, and the dreams of the American people while addressing the challenges that they face, whether it’s the high price of groceries or the difficulty in being able to acquire home ownership [unintelligible].” (Read more from “Yikes: Kamala’s Confused Comment About Trump Shows Why They Don’t Want Her Answering Questions” HERE)

Kamala Harris Rambles On For Nearly Three Minutes When Asked What She Will Do To Secure The Border; VP Gets Called Out by Oprah Winfrey for Dodging Question at Campaign Event, Again Offers No Proposals (VIDEO)

/13 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Vice President Kamala Harris gave a meandering response to a question about how she would address illegal immigration during a Thursday night forum hosted by Oprah Winfrey.

Illegal immigration has become a prominent issue in the 2024 campaign after a series of crimes involving illegal immigrants, including the murders of Rachel Morin, Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray and the struggles experienced after an influx of over 20,000 Haitian migrants into the city of Springfield, Ohio. Harris initially discussed her background as attorney general of California and a prosecutor before turning her attention to the demise of a bipartisan border bill.

“This is not a theoretical issue for me, this is something I have actually worked on,” Harris told Justin, a black man who asked her what she would do to secure the border. “I have prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs and human beings. I take very seriously the importance of having a secure border and ensuring the safety of the American people.”

The Senate failed to invoke cloture on a motion to begin debate on legislation combining foreign aid and border security negotiated by Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona by a vote of 50-49 on Feb. 7.

The “Unite for America” event was meant to reach a large number of voters through Winfrey’s presence and a number of simultaneous streaming platforms on social media.
