Vice President Kamala Harris has stooped to calling former President Donald Trump "unstable" and agreeing he's a "fascist" rather than making a compelling case for her policies, Breitbart reported. Harris made this and many other unhinged assertions during a town hall appearance on CNN Wednesday.
The former prosecutor appeared with Anderson Cooper to give her closing arguments less than two weeks before Election Day. Harris should have been at her best to seal the deal for undecided voters and confirm her base that she's a winner.
Instead, she left the stage looking foolish, unprepared, and desperate. She attacked Trump in one of many moments that are sure to come back and haunt her, like when Cooper asked whether Harris believed "Donald Trump is a fascist" and she answered in the affirmative.
“Yes, I do. Yes, I do, and I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted again," Harris replied.
The past four years under President Joe Biden and the vice president have been a disaster. There was the botched withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, followed by the war in Ukraine and another in Gaza, not to mention Americans now paying 20% more for necessities.
In addition, Harris can't even make the case for any new policy proposals since she is already effectively in office. She's cornered, and all she has to fall back on now is the same Trump-is-Hitler narrative the left has relied on for almost a decade.
Earlier Wednesday, Harris made a public statement seemingly affirming alleged revelations that Trump admired Hitler. Cooper asked her about that statement at the event's start, and Harris used a page from Biden's tired old playbook, though she shied away from using the dictator's name in her screed.
"I do believe that Donald Trump is unstable, increasingly unstable, and unfit to serve. And I don't necessarily think that everyone has heard what you and I have heard repeatedly, which is the people who know Donald Trump best...have all called him unfit and dangerous," Harris claimed.
Harris began her short presidential campaign with the notion that she was about "joy," Fox News reported. Now, she has swiveled to mudslinging and hyperbolic attacks on Trump.
Daniell Alvarez, senior campaign adviser for the Trump campaign, believes this will be Harris' undoing. "Kamala Harris is focused on Donald Trump, and President Donald J. Trump is focused on the American people," Alvarez said on Fox & Friends Thursday.
"Our closing argument is so different than theirs. They are throwing everything they can at the wall to see what sticks because Kamala Harris is floundering," Alvarez added.
One of the greatest political moments of the last 50 years came in 2016 when Hillary Clinton lost to Trump. She had spent a lifetime clawing to the top of the political food chain so she could run for president, and her hopes were dashed by the candidate nobody thought could win.
However, that moment will pale in comparison to what's about to happen on Election Day when Trump crushes Harris. Her campaign reeks of desperation because they have no way to stop the approaching political earthquake, and we're here for it.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation launched a probe into the intelligence breach that revealed Israel's plot to attack Iran in retaliation for its Oct. 1 offensive, the Jewish News Syndicate reported. The agencies have not found the source of the leak.
The FBI, along with the Department of Defense and other intelligence agencies, is investigating how this privileged information was released to the public. There's a suspicion that the purpose was to "disrupt" Israel's counterattack and reveal the intelligence-gathering methods of the U.S. and its Middle Eastern ally.
One theory was that the leak involved an insider, perhaps the Iranian-born chief of staff of the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Ariane Tabatabai. Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder denied the allegation Tuesday.
"It’s important to let the investigation run its course. To my knowledge, this official is not a subject of interest, and the department remains fully committed to supporting the investigation," Ryder said at a news conference.
As CNN reported, Israel had been planning a counterstrike after Iran's missile blitz on Oct. 1. On Friday, documents were leaked on Telegram that purported to show Israel's plan of attack to answer for the barrage of ballistics.
The documents purportedly include information gathered by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. They were to be shared only with authorized personnel in the U.S. and other "Five Eyes" nations, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
Not only did they reveal tactical information, but one of the documents even confirmed that Israel has nuclear capabilities. This fact has been something Jerusalem has refused to disclose thus far and may have far-reaching implications.
Of course, a counterstrike was surely something Iran would have anticipated. However, the leak itself raises serious questions about the security of key information, especially since Iran already hacked U.S. intelligence agencies in August.
"If it is true that Israeli tactical plans to respond to Iran’s attack on October 1 have been leaked, it is a serious breach," Mick Mulroy, retired CIA officer and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, said. When investigators pinpoint the source of the leak, they will determine the seriousness of the breach.
According to Fox News, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Monday that his office was investigating where the leak originated. "We're not exactly sure how these documents found their way into the public domain," Kirby told reporters.
"I know the Department of Defense is investigating this. I'm just not able to answer your question whether it was a leak or a hack," Kirby added.
"At this point, we'll let the investigation pursue its logical course. We're deeply concerned, and the president remains deeply concerned about any leakage of classified information into the public domain," Kirby said of President Joe Biden.
"That is not supposed to happen. And it's unacceptable when it does. I'll let the Israelis speak to if, what, how and when they decide to take additional military action in response to Iran's Oct. 1 attack," Kirby said. "That's really for them to speak to."
A breach like this should never happen, especially regarding sensitive information shared between the U.S. and its allies. Israel will have to defend itself against Iran's aggression, but this leak has compromised that ability and possibly other future actions.
Republicans have taken the lead in two key races for the U.S. House of Representatives, Breitbart reported. These congressional districts are among 18 "toss-up" races that could decide which party controls the lower chamber.
Most of the attention in the 2024 election has been geared toward worrying about who will be the next president. Meanwhile, some congressional races are shaping up to be just as consequential for the country.
Decision Desk HQ and The Hill have teamed up to identify the ones that will most likely define the 119th House of Representatives. New polling data shows that among them is a race in Alaska and another in California, both of which seem to be leaning Republican.
The Last Frontier's only congressional district could go to Republican Nick Begich over incumbent Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola by nearly five points. Meanwhile, Republican Scott Baugh has a 3% lead over Democrat Dave Min to replace Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) in California’s 47th Congressional District.
Internal polling from Cygnal has revealed that only 44.5% of voters support Rep. Mary Peltolta, the incumbent, while Republican Nick Begich receives 49.1%. The poll was posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, showing the possibilities.

Republicans are similarly making a surprisingly positive showing in The Golden State as well. A WPA Intelligence poll conducted last week shows that Baugh had 43% of the votes compared to Min’s 40%.
While this is within the poll's ± 4.9% margin of error, it's a promising sign for a district with a Democratic incumbent in a deep-blue state. It also reflects a five-point decrease for Min from a WPA Intelligence poll conducted in September.
Peterson believes this is a rejection of Democratic policies. "Orange County voters are rallying behind Scott Baugh to lower taxes and fix the economy, stop the violent crime wave and secure the border," Peterson said.
"Extreme Sacramento Democrat politician Dave Min has made Orange County more dangerous and more expensive, and it’s clear voters are ready for change,” he went on. Perhaps their disillusionment will carry over to the general election as the nation faces the same issues under Democratic leadership.
Democrats will have difficulty convincing voters to cast their ballots for more of the same. People are fed up with the current administration and its party, and it's likely that will drive them to the GOP in droves.
It's easy to tell when Republicans do something really effective--Democrats respond to it as if they are trying to murder someone.
This explains Democrat vice presidential nominee Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's response to Republican nominee former President Donald Trump's appearance at a McDonald's restaurant on Sunday, where he proceeded to "work" there, learning to use the fryer and serving customers.
"This guy spent decades stiffing workers pay, cut overtime benefits for millions of people, and opposed any effort to raise the minimum wage," Walz posted on X. "You know who has actually worked at McDonald's, joined workers on picket lines, and fights for working people? @KamalaHarris."

Bitter much?
Never mind that there's no record of Harris ever working at a McDonald's. Walz and the Democrats are mad--stark raving mad, in fact--because Trump is stealing their "everyman" status even though he's a billionaire, and people are believing it.
One man who went through the drive-thru at the McDonalds said, “Thank you, Mr. President. You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you. Thank you so much for everything you are doing. We pray for you, and you are the type of person we want to be the president.”
The customer’s wife added: “Thank you for taking the bullet for us.”
Of course, several Trump supporters knew the appearance was gold, and they posted the video on social media where of course it went viral.
This drove the left even more nuts, because there's nothing so maddening as seeing the guy you think is a "threat to democracy" being liked by the public who they've just spent the last eight years being told to hate--if they know what's good for them.
Seems like maybe just a touch over half of the voting public doesn't know what's good for them, and is ready to vote Trump into office, if polls are correct.
It's still close, so hopefully Trump voters don't get overconfident and stay home.
Trump definitely has the momentum going into the last two weeks before election day, however.
That's why Walz is so irate over Trump's McDonald's appearance, but his ire is not likely to help his ticket's prospects because no one likes a complainer.
Though Democrats have slammed former President Donald Trump for highlighting a rise in crime during the Biden-Harris administration, the recent experiences of one New England town are proving particularly instructive in countering the left's narrative.
As Fox News reports, conditions in Burlington, Vermont, have deteriorated significantly in recent years, a fact which locals attribute to homelessness, drug addiction, and rising rates of crime that remain unaddressed by federal policies.
Local residents of Burlington spoke with Fox News Digital last week, detailing their frustrations with the homelessness and drug use that have both gripped their hometown.
Many noted the unease with which they now approach the city's downtown area, with some expressing fears for their physical safety.
The influx of fentanyl, and the addictions it has spawned, have prompted a rise in crime that has left community members shaken and seeking solutions.
According to one young man from Burlington, “It's really good during the day, but during the night, like people have said, it's really dangerous” due to the desperation drug use and addiction causes in affected individuals.
With drugs such as fentanyl and “tranq” becoming more prevalent, Vermont has marked a 500% increase in overdose deaths over the last decade, with first responders strapped for the resources necessary to properly respond to the volume of assistance needed.
Nancy, an elderly resident of Burlington, admitted, “I don't walk at night,” and when pressed for a reason, she stated, “Cause it's dangerous.
“People get beat up at nighttime,” she observed, adding that her neighbor was assaulted in such brutal fashion that the attackers also tried to destroy the individual's wheelchair.
A local entrepreneur placed blame on what she characterized as misplaced priorities among those in power, telling Fox News that emphasis is being put on all the wrong things.
“There seems to be a lot of focus in this town and by the government on helping people who are addicted. There seems to be a lack of respect for people who are doing business, you know, who are trying to run a store,” said the woman.
After having slashed law enforcement budgets in recent years, the city is reportedly now attempting to hire additional police officers to address growing concerns.
Burlington's story is perhaps illustrative of Donald Trump's recent claims that, despite Democrats' claims to the contrary, violent crime has been on the rise during Biden's time in office, even though ABC's David Muir attempted to fact-check the former president on that argument during his September debate with Kamala Harris.
Interestingly, the FBI itself recently had to revise its own figures -- cited by Muir against Trump -- to show an overall growth in criminal offenses for the year 2022, as the New York Post noted, and though the agency attempted to keep the changes as quiet as possible, they serve as concrete validation of the troubling phenomenon with which Burlington residents are all too familiar.
Legendary musician Ringo Starr shared about his harrowing health ordeal that caused him to cancel tour dates, the Daily Caller reported. The former Beatles drummer did not share the exact cause, but that it felt he "had a mad thing eating my body."
The 84-year-old was forced to cancel the remaining dates of his All-Starr tour due to this severe illness. Reports circulated that he was fighting COVID-19.
In an interview with Variety, Starr set the record straight. "It wasn’t the virus — I had that two years ago," Starr said, though he admitted that it "knocked me down."
Instead, Starr described an unspecified malady that made him seriously ill. "It was a mad thing eating my body, and they found out when they took my blood that the white cells there was 12,000 of ’em," Starr said.
Starr explained that the high white cell count was a sign that he was gravely ill. "That’s pretty high. And that happens," Starr said.
"That’s what saved your life — they were fighting the attacker. And so with pills and medication, I got over it in two weeks," he added.
T. Bone Burnett, who was part of the interview with Starr, said the musician was otherwise in great condition despite his advanced age. "I saw him play at the Ryman a few months ago, and, he took a break in the middle and his dressing room was upstairs, and he ran up the stairs," he said.
"So I think he’s got plenty of miles left in him," Burnett added. Starr, whose career has spanned decades, is nowhere near stopping, as he will release another album next year.

Starr continues to make music and perform, but his time with the Beatles still draws considerable curiosity. This fact has compelled Starr to be one of the producers of "Beatles '64" documentary, a retrospective look at the band by Martin Scorsese.
The Fab Four drummer sat down for an interview to talk about the documentary that will debut on Disney+ on November 29. "Honestly, it’s a little hard now. There’s only Paul and I, and it was the four of us…," he added.
Starr said that the newest documentary will feature post-Beatles works by Starr and Paul McCartney as he fondly remembered the original 1964 film that documented the Fab Four's visit to America. Brothers Albert and David Maysles captured footage that became "What's Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A." about the band.
This time, Starr and McCartney will get to tell the story more from their perspectives. "Marty is producing this remake with his director of choice and putting us more in it to talk about that, so you’ve got that time and this time talking about that time," Starr shared.
Sixty years after the Beatles exploded in popularity, one of its remaining members is still as relevant as ever in his own right. Starr may have had his health challenges, but the world hasn't heard the last of him yet.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis petitioned an appeals court to reinstate six charges against former President Donald Trump, The Hill reported. Willis charges Judge Scott McAfee "erred" in throwing out the charge.
Willis has pursued the charges related to Trump's supposed effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the Peach State. The case involves Trump and a number of his associates at the time.
McAfee threw out several charges in March because they were filed too broadly. The judge wrote in his ruling that while the district attorney's filing proved "essential" information pointing to the underlying crime, the charges weren't specific enough.
"The Court’s concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants – in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal," McAfee wrote.
Willis' office countered in its 38-page filing, claiming that McAfee "erred" in the decision to dismiss. "The indictment more than sufficiently placed Cross-Appellees on notice of the conduct at issue and allowed them to prepare an intelligent defense to the charges," argued Assistant District Attorney Alex Bernick in the appeal.
The most significant charge concerns a phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021, just months after the election. Trump supposedly implored the Republican official to "find" the 11,779 votes needed to award the state to him instead of Joe Biden.
According to the New York Times, eight charges are all that remain of the 13 that were originally filed. Besides Trump, the others who benefitted from the judge's decision to quash include Trump's former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Attorneys associated with Trump, including Ray Smith III, Robert Cheeley, and John Eastman, are also off the hook. The case is unlikely to move forward any time soon as other legal issues are hashed out.
The main concern about Willis' ability to remain on case involve a possible inappropriate relationship. Willis carried on an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired to help build the case against Trump, but insists that it began after he was hired.
CNN reported that in February 2024, Willis was ordered to answer for her relationship with Wade at a hearing with attorneys for Trump and the co-defendants. She was belligerent and indignant as she was questioned about the timing of their relationship and official expenditures for the two of them.
The timing of their relationship is key to determining whether there was any impropriety. If they were already dating and she hired him as a way to finance their travel and other goodies, it would seriously undermine her ability to do her job.
It was clear Willis did not like being questioned and made quite a show of her emotions while giving her answers. "You think I’m on trial," Willis snapped back at one point.
"These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020," she said, gesturing to the attorneys representing Trump and the defendants. "I’m not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial."
Willis went after Trump like an attack dog and, in the process, possibly used it as a scheme to help herself and her love. The problem with politically motivated cases is that they're, by definition, run by people without scruples.
The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the secretary of state must allow convicted felons to register to vote immediately after completing their sentences, Axios reported. This is part of a broader push by Democrats to allow criminals to cast ballots.
The Cornhusker State previously allowed felons to register to vote after a two-year waiting period following the end of their sentences. However, the state legislature passed a bill earlier this year abolishing the waiting period.
Although it was passed as a bipartisan effort, Secretary of State Robert Evnen put the brakes on the liberalization of the rules as he believed it to be unconstitutional on the advice of Attorney General Mike Hilgers. To rectify the situation, Evnen barred county officials from registering convicted felons unless they had been pardoned.
The Nebraska Supreme Court did not agree and lifted Evnen's order. "The Secretary is ordered to remove any disqualification on registration he has imposed that is not contained within L.B. 20 and to comply in all respects with the provisions of L.B. 20," the ruling said.
This decision came down with less than three weeks to go in a very contentious presidential election. The impacted voters, estimated to be about 7,000 felons, will have to contend with tight deadlines to cast their ballots.
In-person registration runs until Oct. 25, but the online option is open until Oct. 18. This could be an important development as Nebraska splits its electoral votes in such a way that any additional voters could sway the race.
Previous studies have shown that ex-convicts are four times as likely to register as Democrats or have no affiliation at all than their law-abiding counterparts. With the state awarding one electoral vote to the winner in each congressional district, three of the state's five votes are up for grabs for Democrats, the New York Times reported.
This could be significant in the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Notably, the state's Second District, which includes the capital city of Omaha, went for President Joe Biden in the 2020 race.
The candidate with the most statewide votes receives the remaining two electoral votes, which are typically cast for the Republican in a crimson state. Even if this rule doesn't sway the 2024 race, it sets up a framework that could pay off for Democrats in 2028.
Democrats have no scruples when it comes to making sure they win elections by hook or by crook. One of their many tactics includes allowing criminals to vote.
There are varying levels of restrictions on felons voting in 48 states, with only Maine, Vermont, and the District of Columbia having none at all. Democrats have tried to nationalize a standard to allow criminals to vote and even proposed a law to do just that.
According to Reuters, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) proposed the Inclusive Democracy Act in December 2023. "The right to vote is sacred in America and it's essential to citizenship, and all citizens deserve a voice in our democracy," Pressley said at the time.
"There is resistance. We know that," Welch chimed in. The bill has gone nowhere with the current narrow GOP majority in Congress and lead in the Senate, but it's not an issue that Democrats will give up on easily.
While it's true that people who have served their time have paid their debt to society, it's a bridge too far to give them blanket voting rights. Criminals have proven that they don't respect the laws of the land, and giving them the right to influence those laws is ludicrous.
Former President Donald Trump said Vice President Kamala Harris' medical assessment shows "dangerous" symptoms that may affect her ability to serve, the UK Daily Mail reported. Trump also suggested that Harris take a cognitive test to prove she is up to doing the job if elected.
Harris released her medical records via an open letter from her primary care physician, Dr. Joshua Simmons. It showed that Harris sometimes experiences urticaria, otherwise known as hives, that are symptoms of an allergy.
The vice president also suffers from allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis from seasonal allergies. Harris has been undergoing "allergen immunotherapy" for three years to lessen the severity of her reactions.
At least 80 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies, so this report doesn't uncover anything unusual. However, Trump believes an emergency could impact her ability to serve if she has symptoms like mental fatigue, brain fog, and difficulty in mental concentration.
Following the release of the medical report, Trump took to his Truth Social to warn about the implications of Harris' condition. "As to her completely desperate request for my Medical Statements, she is dying to see my Cholesterol (which is 180!), I have already provided them, many times, including quite recently, and they were flawless" Trump wrote Tuesday.
"However, I have just seen Kamala’s Report, and it is not good. According to her Doctor’s Report, she suffers from 'urticaria,' defined as 'a rash of round, red welts on the skin that itch intensely, sometimes with dangerous swelling.'" Trump recounted.
"She also has 'allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis,' a very messy and dangerous situation. These are deeply serious conditions that clearly impact her functioning," Trump added.
"Maybe that is why she can’t answer even the simplest of questions asked by 60 Minutes, and others. What is this all about? I don’t have these problems…" he concluded.
Trump also went after Harris' cognitive abilities in a separate post to X, formerly Twitter, that day. "I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility," Trump wrote.
"Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally 'bonkers,' with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked," Trump said, referring to the network's selective editing that changed one of Harris' answers.
"Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!" Trump added.
Trump was tying her symptoms to the problems that became too obvious to ignore with President Joe Biden, who stepped down from his reelection bid amid signs of cognitive decline. At 59, Harris is much younger and in better health than Biden is.
Still, Trump likes to challenge his opponents from many angles, and this attack on Harris' health is sure to get under her skin. The leftist media will mock him for his warning, but Trump is a master at pointing out weaknesses in his opponents that seem to stick.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis urged her former lover and special prosecutor Nathan Wade to remain silent in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee, Breitbart reported. The committee will depose Wade on Tuesday in its probe to determine whether the case against former President Donald Trump is politically motivated.
Willis shared her instructions to Wade in a letter to Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) Monday. "I am concerned that your demand for Mr. Wade’s testimony would force him to improperly divulge confidential information that is protected by privileges," she wrote.
Backed by Willis' office, Wade will be "asserting all legal protections and privileges related to information that he possesses about ongoing criminal prosecutions." The House Judiciary GOP shared a copy of the letter to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, captioned, "What is she trying to hide?"

The letter outlined what would be off-limits when Wade appears for his deposition. "Questions about the substance of Mr. Wade’s work in the case would implicate information that is protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney-client privilege, and work-product privilege, among others" should be prohibited, Wills' letter said.
"Asking witnesses to share legally protected, non-public information about pending prosecutions may cause them to violate their confidentiality obligations under professional ethics rules. In addition, the release of this legally protected information may also prejudice defendants, victims, or witnesses, or affect the overall integrity of proceedings," she added.
Willis later stated that Wade's silence is necessary to the case against former President Donald Trump, which she and Wade worked on together. "I will continue to do everything in my power to protect the integrity of this criminal investigation and all others in which my office leads," she wrote.
"My legal duty to protect the secrecy and integrity of all criminal investigations has been bestowed upon me by Federal, State and Local law," Willis added. This letter comes after the committee had difficulty serving Wade with a subpoena because Willis instructed him to evade them, the New York Post reported.
"The eleventh-hour intervention from District Attorney Willis does not excuse your failure to appear for your transcribed interview," Jordan wrote after finally serving Wade in September. Willis is trying to do all she can to stop this probe, perhaps with good reason.
Willis was ambitious in bringing her case against Trump and several others regarding alleged election interference. She may have undermined her work when she hired Wade on Nov. 1, 2021, to help with that effort.
The pair claimed they weren't together then and started their affair approximately in March 2022. However, the timing raised concerns about the nature of Wade's hiring, considering that he filed for divorce just one day after Willis hired him.
This became the central question in a hearing over whether Willis should be disqualified due to her relationship with Wade, whom she may have hired due to their relationship. As the Washington Post reported, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ultimately required Wade to leave the case over the "appearance of impropriety" after hearing Willis' testimony.
Now, Trump's case will remain unresolved until after the election. Even if Willis does succeed in prosecuting him, Trump's legal team has quite a bit of leverage to get the conviction tossed based on the undisclosed and possibly improper relationship between Willis and Wade.
People like Willis and Wade were doing all they could to get Trump behind bars. However, they couldn't help themselves to a little impropriety behind the scenes, which may cost them the case against him even if they can convict him.
