"Democrats running for the Senate in 'blue wall' states that will be critical to determining the outcome of the 2024 election are running away from Vice President Harris, signaling that they are hoping to win over some of former President Trump's voters to keep their seats.

"And Democratic candidates in those states have been careful about criticizing Trump during the high-stakes debates. They have focused on policy and their own records without taking many -- or any -- shots against the Republican nominee.

"Pennsylvania incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D) has even embraced Trump's tariff policies. His campaign launched an ad last week that described him as 'independent' and touted how he 'bucked' the Biden administration to protect fracking and 'sided with Trump to end NAFTA.'"

"'Even if you flippin' fries at McDonlad's,' Oprah Winfrey once said, 'if you are excellent, everybody wants to be in your line.'

"I thought of this quote when Donald Trump turned up yesterday at a McDonald's restaurant in suburban Philadelphia to work a shift making French fries, then handing bags of food to drive-through customers.

"As political stunts go, this might have been the best I've ever seen, because it served two very powerful purposes in the presidential race."

"On an Oct. 13 MSNBC broadcast with anchor Jen Psaki, Democratic strategist -- and ormer political advisor to President Bill Clinton -- James Carville denounced Donald Trump for putting 'the entire Constitution in jeopardy.' Carville offered a concrete example of the right's subversion of American freedom and democracy: 'The Supreme Court and Clarence Thomas have totally greenlighted the idea that you could round up, use the military to round up your political enemies.' A former political advisor to Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Psaki replied with a smile, 'We love the truth telling.'

"Carville and Psaki are typical. The left often portrays itself as the rigorous defender of truth against relentless right-wing disinformation while resolutely promoting progressive disinformation, including the falsehood that disinformation is a distinctively right-wing phenomenon.

"Small wonder that Carville did not elaborate on his extraordinary accusation, and that Psaki did not ask why he singled out Justice Thomas or how the Supreme Court authorized the rounding up of political enemies. Perhaps Carville had in mind the coutr's holding last July in Trump v. United States 'that the President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.' But the Constitution does not give the president authority to round up political enemies."

"When the FBI originally released the 'final' crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation's violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump's claims of soaring crime.

"But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.

"The Bureau -- which has been at the center of partisan storms -- made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release.

"RCI discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states: 'The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023.' But there is no mention that the numbers increased. One only sees the change by downloading the FBI's new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year."

"Legacy media are working overtime to delegitimize a new report indicating Kamala Harris allegedly plagiarized parts of a book she co-authored.

"The cover-up began on Monday shortly after the Manhattan Institute's Christopher Rufo reported findings by Austrian 'plagiarism hunter' Stefan Weber, who purportedly discovered that a 2009 book co-authored by Harris and Joan O'C. Hamilton contains passages seemingly lifted from various other published works and websites. The book is titled Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer."

"For over three years, Biden-Harris had signaled Israel's enemies that the United States no longer acted like a close ally of the past.

"The administration lifted sanctions on a hostile Iran, giving it $100 billion in oil windfalls. It begged Iran to reenter the disastrous Iran deal. It abandoned the Abraham Accords. It lifted the terrorist designation from the terrorist Houthis. It restored fungible aid to the Hamas tunnel builders. It gave new aid to Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon.

"Israel's enemies got the Biden message: Attack the Jewish state and perhaps Americans for the first time in a half-century may not really mind that much. And so they did, in unison.

"Rather than admitting their own role in igniting the Middle East, Biden and Harris now blame the victims of their own incendiary foreign policy."

"Less than one month before Election Day, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' published data confirms that the consequences of Democrats' disastrous economic policies have continued to plague Americans.

"Democrats and their corporate media and economic 'expert' allies preemptively claimed inflation would 'return to normal' just in time for the 2024 face-off. Shortly after the July 2024 consumer price index was released, former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council Bharat Ramamurti even went so far as to declare that 'We've won the battle against inflation.'

"The 2.4 percent price hike Americans suffered from September 2023 to the same month this year, however, was 'a little hotter than anticipated.'

"Consumers specifically paid more for food at home (1.3 percent), food away from home (3.9 percent), electricity (3.7 percent), shelter (4.9 percent), and transportation (8.5 percent) last month than they did the year prior. Overall, essential goods and services are more than 20 percent more expensive now than they were when President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office in January 2021."

"Vice President Kamala Harris has kicked up her media appearances over the last few days, and it hasn't gone well. From television interviews to radio programs to podcasts, the appointed Democratic nominee for president has decided to stop hiding from interviews after early voting has started in the country and with less than a month until Election Day. Yet one thing has remained consistent in her campaign: She continues to ignore, deceive, and lie about her horrific political record -- especially on border security and immigration.

By every available metric and analysis of Harris's record on immigration since she has been vice president and border czar, it is abundantly clear she has a horrible record on border security and illegal immigration. She knows it, and everyone knows it, but it doesn't prevent her from lying about her failures -- and she often does so in stunningly incoherent fashion.

Look no further than the vice president's recent interview on 60 Minutes with Bill Whitaker, in which she was pressed about her immigration record as vice president. Harris's answers were nothing more than word salads that completely lacked substance and made little sense."

"For years, lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle in Congress warned the Biden-Harris administration's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan weakened security abroad and raised terror risks at home with the inadequate vetting of refugees hurriedly settled into the United States in fall 2021.

"On Tuesday, their worst fears were realized.

"The Justice Department revealed that a 27-year-old Afghan refugee waived into the U.S. as part of the widely criticized Operation Allies Refuge was charged in federal court with plotting an Election Day terror attack in support of the Islamic State (ISIS)."

"Vice President Harris's lack of traction with unionized blue-collar workers has emerged as one of her biggest challenges to winning key states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania, as polls show her significantly underperforming Joe Biden's performance with union workers in 2020.

"Harris's tenuous relationship with elements of organized labor is reflected by the decisions of the Teamsters and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) not to endorse her presidential campaign.

"She narrowly avoided disaster when President Biden helped avert a prolonged port workers strike by brokering a tentative labor deal with the International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance on Thursday.

"Especially concerning for Democrats is that Harris isn't even polling as well as Hillary Clinton did in 2016 among union voters."
