Kamala Harris' rhetoric repeatedly has gone well into la-la land as she battles President Donald Trump in this most important presidential election in just weeks.

And it's with a purpose, charges commentator John Daniel Davidson at The Federalist.

To "prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November."

Also, Davidson explained, "At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week she told the crowd that former President Donald Trump considers anyone who doesn't support him to be an enemy of the United States. 'He is saying he would use the military to go after them.'"

Just days ago, "Harris claimed without a hint of irony that if Trump is elected he'll use the Department of Justice 'as a weapon against his political enemies,' adding, 'You know who does that? Dictators do that.' At one point during the show, she agreed with a caller who said Trump will lock 'anyone who doesn't look white into camps,' replying, 'You've hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well."

Davidson noted, "Even before Harris seized the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden, the idea that Trump is an existential threat to American democracy was the refrain of the Biden campaign. Harris has taken that theme and run with it."

"The purpose of it isn't just to scare voters into casting their ballot against the former president, or to provoke some unstable would-be assassin into taking a shot at Trump (although some Democrats no doubt see that as a happy by-product of this Trump-as-dictator rhetoric). Its main purpose is to prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November," he charged.

He suggested a comparison of "the lopsidedness of the rhetoric between the Trump and Harris campaigns."

"Trump often makes sweeping (and mostly true) statements about the deep state, about the border and illegal immigration, about crime, about how Harris and the Democrats are destroying the country. But when he uses the phrase 'destroying the country,' he's talking about things like crime, homelessness, drug addiction, rampant inflation and the cost of groceries. These things, he says, are the result of policies Democrats have put in place. If you're looking for someone to blame, he says, blame Biden and Harris, because all these problems are their fault."

Harris, and her Democrats, are "pushing a narrative that Trump is going to be a fascist dictator if he wins office and use the powers of the presidency to go after ordinary Americans. That's an extreme and frankly unhinged position with no basis in reality. You don't say things like that unless you're hoping to provoke a strong reaction, and the reaction Democrats are hoping to provoke is violent resistance to a second Trump term."

CBS has been named in a federal complaint for its decision to make Kamala Harris look coherent following its taping of a recent interview.

To do that, the network recorded an answer she made early in the recording, then subbed it in for the word salad she delivered to a later question.

Fox News said the complaint accused CBS News of "significant and intentional news distortion."

The filing was from the Center for American Rights and was submitted to the Federal Communications Commission.

The report noted, "CBS News has taken heat in recent days for airing two different answers to the same question in its '60 Minutes' interview last week with Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris was mocked by conservatives when footage of her offering a lengthy 'word salad' was aired by CBS' 'Face the Nation' to promote the '60 Minutes' sit-down when Bill Whitaker asked why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't listening to the U.S."

But, the report said, the network changed Harris' answer in the video before it was aired.

The center charged that the decision to swap answers was a "deliberate news distortion – a violation of FCC rules governing broadcasters' public interest obligations."

"This isn't just about one interview or one network," center president Daniel Suhr explained. "This is about the public's trust in the media on critical issues of national security and international relations during one of the most consequential elections of our time.

The terror mastermind of October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded Israel and terrorized innocent civilians, ultimately murdering or kidnapping some 1,500, apparently is dead, according to reports.

ZeroHedge notes that Israeli officials believe they struck Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during an army attack on a building in Rafah, in Gaza.

"The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) which were operating in south Gaza were not specifically seeking to target him, but a body recovered at the scene suggests he may have been killed. Israeli sources and media are saying there is a 'high likelihood' Sinwar has been killed," the report said.

It was Barack Obama who, shortly after his party's convention, appeared in a television ad promoting President Donald Trump's candidacy.

He insisted that America doesn't need "another four years" of bumbling and bluster.

Then it was Bill Clinton who appeared, explaining that the victim of a murderous illegal alien probably would be alive had not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed in unvetted illegals.

Democrats have been campaigning for months on their claims that crime across America has gone down under the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris regime.

Recently, they've been using an FBI "final" report that claims violent crimes were down 2.1% in 2023.

And the Democrats' claims haven't changed, even though the FBI data has.

In fact, an "update" to that reporting now shows violent crime was up 4.5% over that time period.

A report from Trending Politics explained, "The Biden Justice Department, much like the Biden Labor Department, is quietly amending its crime statistics after posting incomplete data to dispute a key charge that former President Donald Trump has made against Joe Biden."

It continued, "For most of his third campaign for office, President Trump has regularly railed against rising violent crime in the U.S., tying high-profile instances of murder to the millions of new migrants who crossed into the country over the past two years. In response, both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have disputed his characterization of crime, and they have been assisted by a mainstream media that has all too often rebutted Trump's assertions, claiming violent crime is down year-over-year. That turned out to be false, according to the FBI."

Real Clear Investigations revealed that the 2.1% figure quickly became – "and remains" – a Democrat talking point against Trump.

But the reality is that the crime was up 4.5%, according to the FBI itself, which now has included new numbers for more murders, more rapes, more robberies, and more aggravated assaults.

The "updated" figures have not been reflected in most media reports, nor in Democrat talking points.

"It's been over three weeks since the FBI released the revised data. The Bureau's lack of acknowledgment or explanation about the significant change concerns researchers," the report said.

"I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022," Carl Moody, a professor at the College of William & Mary who specializes in studying crime, told RealClearInvestigations. "There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data."

Real Clear documented, "The actual changes in crimes are extensive. The updated data for 2022 report that there were 80,029 more violent crimes than in 2021. There were an additional 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, and 37,091 aggravated assaults. The question naturally arises: should the FBI's 2023 numbers be believed?"

That report noted the Biden-Harris administration has been busy revising other numbers that earlier had made its performance in office look better. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently confirmed it "overestimated" jobs created … by 818,000.

A City Journal report called out the "mainstream media" for ignoring the updates.

And it faulted the FBI for adjusting numbers "at different times in different ways…"

"Its process is hardly transparent, its results are often inconsistent and poorly explained, and its numbers are frustratingly fluid," the report said.

Trending Politics added, "During last month's debate, President Trump assured viewers that 'crime is up' across the country, prompting Vice President Harris to frown and shake her head. 'Despite the fraudulent statements they made, crime in this country is through the roof. And we have a new form of crime, it's called migrant crime, and it's happening at levels nobody thought possible," Trump said.

The scale of Chinese espionage in the U.S. and in other Western nations is beginning to overwhelm governments, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal.

According to the report, spy activities are happening on an "unprecedented scale," which includes the Chinese government recruiting private companies, Chinese civilians, and security agencies to undermine its competitors and strengthen China's economy.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has stated that in the month of September alone, a Chinese state-linked firm hacked approximately 260,000 devices connected to the internet – including cameras and routers located in the U.S., the U.K., France, Romania, and other nations.

In January, FBI Director Christopher Wray told a congressional hearing the Chinese intelligence-gathering and security operations could be made of at least 600,000 people, outnumbering the FBI's cyber personnel by 50 to 1.

"China's hacking program is larger than that of every other major nation, combined," Wray said during the hearing.

Wray noted during his opening remarks to legislators that the Chinese pose a huge threat to U.S. infrastructure, which was largely ignored by the American public.

"There has been far too little public focus on the fact that PRC [People's Republic of China] hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure – our water treatment plants, our electrical grid, our oil and natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems … And the risk that poses to every American requires our attention now," Wray said.

Fox News reported five former University of Michigan students who are all Chinese nationals were charged last week after they were allegedly caught covering up spying on a National Guard center, while a Taiwanese military training operation was taking place in Michigan in August 2023.

A sergeant major of the Utah National Guard confronted the former students when they were caught photographing near Camp Grayling at midnight. They reportedly told the sergeant major they were photographing a meteor shower.

U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich., said the U.S. must remain vigilant while calling on Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to revoke funding for Chinese-based company Gotion, which plans to set up an EV battery factory in rural Michigan, much to the dismay of local residents.

"The CCP obviously has an interest in Camp Grayling and this is further evidence it would be a mistake for Michigan leaders to allow Gotion to build in our state. State funding for Gotion's plan to bring Chinese nationals to Mecosta County is an open invitation for more spying," Moolenaar said on X.

U.S. lawmakers also sought to get answers last week concerning China's Salt Typhoon breach of telecommunications giants AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies, hacking their respective wiretapping systems.

The U.S. House Select Committee on China, chaired by Moolenaar, sent a letter to the CEOs of the three internet providers requesting a closed-door briefing on how long the companies knew about the security breach, what is being done about it, and how lawmakers can help these companies implement additional measures.

Other incidents that pose a threat to national security include an unknown fleet of drones which breached restricted military airspace at the Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, for 17 consecutive days in December 2023.

Top officials are allegedly confounded over the owners of the drones, which circled the base at a height of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, at more than 100 miles per hour, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"Officials didn't know if the drone fleet, which numbered as many as a dozen or more over the following nights, belonged to clever hobbyists or hostile forces. Some suspected that Russia or China deployed them to test the response of American forces," the report states.

The report notes that because the drones were not seen as an imminent threat, despite breaching restricted airspace, federal law prevents the military from shooting down any drones near a military base.

Meanwhile, China Daily reported Tuesday, according to a report released by the Chinese cybersecurity department named "Volt Typhoon III – Unraveling Cyberespionage and Disinformation Operations Conducted by US Government Agencies," the U.S. and its Western allies are, in fact, spying on China.

"The U.S. cyber-warfare forces use these fabricated identities to conduct cyberattacks and espionage and then put the blame on the impersonated countries for the attacks. The so-called Volt Typhoon operation is a misinformation campaign launched by the U.S., which is why its tactics are so similar to those of other operations conducted by the U.S.-led Five Eyes alliance," China Daily reported.

It further adds the U.S. "engages in what it is accusing others of doing."

"The U.S. engages in what it is accusing others of doing. New evidence provided by the report shows that the U.S. firmly controls the world's most crucial internet nodes, including the Atlantic and Pacific undersea cables. Working closely with the UK National Cyber Security Centre, U.S. government agencies analyze and steal data transmitted through these cables, enabling indiscriminate surveillance of global internet users," the report states.

However, the U.S. Department of Justice stated in January the Volt Typhoon hacking group is run exclusively by the Chinese Communist Party, and noted there was evidence found that showed the hackers were attempting to conceal the origins of the hackers.

"The hackers, known to the private sector as 'Volt Typhoon,' used privately-owned SOHO routers infected with the 'KV Botnet' malware to conceal the PRC origin of further hacking activities directed against U.S. and other foreign victims. These further hacking activities included a campaign targeting critical infrastructure organizations in the United States and elsewhere," the DOJ said in a news release.

One of the first agendas Joe Biden and Kamala Harris pursued when they took office was to open America's southern borders by trashing all of President Donald Trump's security measures, such as wall construction and the "Remain in Mexico" practice.

The result, by now, has been a tripling of child sex trafficking, according to a new report.

It is the Washington Stand that wrote about Free Press investigations that have confirmed that child sex traffickers now routinely use the web, Facebook, TikTok, and OnlyFans, to promote their businesses.

They use "photos of scantily clad women or girls whose faces are not in the photo so that their ages are unclear," the report said.

The documentation says ads for child sex have exploded since Biden and Harris took office, and more than 90% promote sex with migrant children.

"Each week, we track over 12,000 ads for women in Houston, 2,600 in San Antonio, 3,500 in Austin, and 14,000 in Dallas," a source told the publication.

"Nearly all of my sex-trafficking rings now are migrant girls. The ads exploded within the first three months of the border being open. We started noticing new sites and ads in Spanish. That was very few before. Then sites dedicated to Latino girls popped up everywhere."

The traffickers operate this way, the original report said. They are Mexican, Salvadorian, Cuban, and Venezuelan gangs and force women and young girls to cross the border by promising them good jobs in America.

After the crossing comes the prostitution, which traffickers tell them is required to pay off their debts.

The report said sex trafficking is not new, but it has tripled since Biden and Harris took office.

Before Biden and Harris, the government helped some 625 migrant minors who escaped trafficking a year; after they took office it surged to 1,143, then 2,226, and most recently, 2,148 through three-quarters of a year.

The report pointedly noted the Democrat candidate for president, Harris, "During her time in the U.S. Senate, Harris sponsored a bill that would have prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting or deporting illegal immigrants already in the U.S. who claimed to sponsor an 'unaccompanied minor child' (UAC), even if the sponsor had been convicted of crimes such as child sexual abuse."

When the bill failed, she pushed the same language into a Department of Homeland Security funding plan.

It was Barack Obama who, shortly after his party's convention, appeared in a television ad promoting President Donald Trump's candidacy.

He insisted that America doesn't need "another four years" of bumbling and bluster.

Then it was Bill Clinton who appeared, explaining that the victim of a murderous illegal alien probably would be alive had not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allowed in unvetted illegals.

Now it's Harris herself with words in support of Trump's campaign.

Only, she likely didn't mean them the way they came out:

A commentary at the Twitchy site explained the answer came from Harris while on "The View" in what was "clearly" nothing but a "softball chat and fawn-fest."

"During what was supposed to be a cake walk of a friendly chat for Harris, 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin performed an accidental act of journalism after asking the Democrat nominee what she would have done differently from Joe Biden over these last nearly four years."

Her "awkward answer' was, "There is not a thing that comes to mind."

The ad then, cites illegal aliens, skyrocketing prices and global chaos, all under the Biden-Harris administration.

"And Kamala wouldn't change a thing," a narrator explains, just before she confirms that.

Clinton's comments came earlier, a harsh verdict on the Biden-Harris open borders policy allowing millions of illegal aliens simply to walk into America.

And Obama's remarks? They were at the Democrats' convention.

"We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos," he shouted. "We have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel us usually worse."

The irony, of course, is that while Obama undoubtedly was trying to denigrate Trump's first term as he seeks a second, the current administration is run by Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and Obama's description easily could apply to those two.

The ad ends, as per standards, with, "I'm Donald J. Trump and I approved this message."

Just as the 2024 presidential election vote is under way, with mail voting and early voting already taking place in a number of states, a new poll shows there are more Americans who identify as Republican than as Democrat.

With the poll showing 31% of respondents to Gallup identify as Republican, to 28% considering themselves Democrats, a report from Trending Politics News said the numbers show "a significant shift in political affiliations since mid-September, causing potential challenges for Democrats ahead of the crucial vote."

Former President Donald Trump says he'll use an executive order to "end all sanctuary cities immediately" should he win the race for the White House in November.

"We are going to end all sanctuary cities immediately. We're gonna end it," Trump said during an all-women, town-hall meeting Wednesday in Cumming, Georgia, hosted by Harris Faulkner of Fox News.

He was answering a question from Nancy, the mother of a Georgia Bulldog college student who was on campus the day schoolmate Laken Riley was murdered by an illegal alien.

Mentioning the sanctuary city of Athens, Georgia, Nancy asked: "How quickly can you remove those threats to our society so our children can go out on a run as they rightfully should be able to do in a park in the daytime by themselves? It should not be like that."

When Trump said he would put an and to all sanctuary cities, Faulkner asked: "Is that an executive order you do that with?"

Trump responded: "I can do it with an executive order. I'll have to do it with an executive order. You can do it with the Aliens Act of 1798, we can do things in terms of moving people out. We can move them out of the sanctuary cities.

"You have some liberal crazy people that they fight – you know, normally you like to understand the opponent. Like in business, you want to understand what the opposites, why they want this. Why do they want open borders? Why do they want to do this? Why do they want sanctuary cities? Sanctuary cities are meant for one thing. To protect criminals. That's what they've become.

"We're going to end all sanctuary cities in the United States and we're gonna go back to normalcy. And we're gonna have law and order.

"We have to reinvigorate our police. We have great police. They're not allowed to do their job. If they do their job with gusto, which is what we want. We want them to be fair. The sad thing is you will always have a bad apple. Hundreds and hundreds of arrests, one bad arrest, and it's on the front page of every newspaper and these people are incredible. They want to do their job just like the Border Patrol.

"We're gonna let them do their job and I'm gonna give them immunity. We're gonna protect them because they do things and they end up getting sued. They lose their family, they lose their house, they lose their pension, they lose everything. The police officers in this country are law enforcement and sheriffs, everything else, they have to be given back their dignity. They want to do their job. But we've become so politically correct.

"You look at New York and Chicago and L.A. and every city. All are run by Democrats, OK? Liberal, stupid Democrats — no, and our country — [cheers and applause] Our country has lost its way. It is a good question. In other words, we're gonna have law and order."
