Biden-Harris Admin Accused Of Deceiving America On Its Way To Freezing Gas Exports

The Biden-Harris administration may have based its decision to freeze certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects upon a major act of deception, according to a government watchdog group.

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced the pause on new and pending approvals for certain LNG export terminals in January, stating that it must conduct a review of potential environmental, economic and security impacts of LNG exports to ensure that approving new capacity is still in the public interest. An ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) legal battle between the agency and an independent group called Government Accountability and Oversight (GAO) reveals that the administration may have actually conducted — or started to conduct — such a review in 2023 before effectively burying it because it may have been producing politically inconvenient conclusions, according to GAO.

If GAO is correct, the Biden-Harris administration essentially deceived the public in an election year to institute a policy that undermines American geopolitical interests, chills investment in domestic energy projects and greatly pleases the well-funded environmentalist lobby which is spending big to help Democrats in this election cycle. The DOE did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story.

GAO filed a narrowly-tailored FOIA request with DOE in June seeking any LNG export study transmitted by the National Energy Technology Lab (NETL) to the DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management between Jan. 1, 2023 and Oct. 31, 2023. The group also requested any emails transmitting those documents from NETL to the same DOE sub-office.

The FOIA request has since become the subject of a GAO lawsuit against the DOE. During the legal battle, the DOE eventually conceded that there are 97 documents, totaling thousands of pages, in its possession that potentially meet the parameters GAO set forth in its request targeting studies about LNG exports.

Moreover, the federal government has delayed the process by “asking for timeline extensions, ignoring deadlines, filing motions to stay adjudication and seeking to further delay by consolidating several individual GAO FOIA actions into one complex case,” Chris Horner, one of GAO’s attorneys, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“GAO has already won in the key sense that it forced a stonewalling DOE to at long last admit that, yes, there is a 2023 study meeting that description, it was sent to the senior political appointees in the Biden-Harris DOE, and has disappeared into the ether,” Horner told the DCNF. “The page volume that DOE admits to confirms that this study was indeed very far along—why else would it have made it to the top politicals—and possibly, as we were informed, completed before being buried.”

The freeze was widely seen as part of the Biden-Harris administration’s climate crusade. Economically and geopolitically, the freeze has heightened uncertainty for would-be investors in major infrastructure projects while empowering LNG production in foreign countries with lower environmental standards, such as Russia and Qatar.

Notably, NETL has previously conducted reviews of the emissions impacts of LNG exports in 2014 and 2019, finding both times that American LNG exports to Asia and Europe do not create more lifecycle emissions than regionally-mined coal when used to generate power.

Republicans and other critics — including some Democrats — charge that the moratorium is also undermining U.S. interests by inhibiting America’s ability to exert influence and potentially degrading long-term energy security in Europe and Ukraine, which the U.S. has given $175 billion amid its war with Russia.

You Will Own Nothing and Have Joy!

“A republic, if you can keep it.” — Benjamin Franklin’s response to Elizabeth Willing Powel’s question: “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”


The World Economic Forum (WEF) predicted that, by 2030, individuals would own nothing and be happy and joyful.

Here are 8 predictions made by the WEF:

Does this sound familiar? It should because it mirrors the Kamala’s platform for 2024.

Comparing the WEF’s 8 Predictions for the World in 2030 and Kamala’s 2024 Platform

WEF: You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.

WATCH: Kamala Harris wants YOU to Own Nothing and Be Happy

WATCH: Tim Walz makes the case to elect Trump because, “we can’t afford 4 more years of this!”

WEF: Whatever you want you’ll rent. And it will be delivered by drone.

Remarks by Vice President Harris at a Campaign Event in Raleigh, NC — Homeownership and what that means — it’s a symbol of the pride that comes with hard work.  It’s financial security.  It represents what you will be able to do for your children.  And sadly, right now, it is out of reach for far too many American families.  There’s a serious housing shortage in many places.  It’s too difficult to build, and it’s driving prices up.

WEF: The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate.

WATCH: ‘Superpower’ USA Struggling To Keep Election Safe? After Trump Claims Iran Hack Attack, Kamala Says…

WEF: You won’t die waiting for an organ donor. We won’t transplant organs we’ll print new ones instead.

The National Library of Medicine published on May 19, 2022 3D Bioprinting of Human Hollow Organs stating, “3D bioprinting is a rapidly evolving technique that has been found to have extensive applications in disease research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. 3D bioprinting might be a solution to global organ shortages and the growing aversion to testing cell patterning for novel tissue fabrication and building superior disease models. It has the unrivaled capability of layer-by-layer deposition using different types of biomaterials, stem cells, and biomolecules with a perfectly regulated spatial distribution. The tissue regeneration of hollow organs has always been a challenge for medical science because of the complexities of their cell structures. In this mini review, we will address the status of the science behind tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting of epithelialized tubular hollow organs. This review will also cover the current challenges and prospects, as well as the application of these complicated 3D-printed organs.”

WEF: You’ll eat much less meat. An occasional treat, not a staple for the good of the environment and our health. A billion people will be displaced by climate change. We’ll have to do a better job of welcoming and integrating refugees.

WEF: Polluters will have to pay to emit carbon dioxide. There will be a global price on carbon. This will help make fossil fuels history.

In a September 10, 2024 The Washington Post published a column titled Kamala Harris’s climate policies, explained by , and  who wrote:

As vice president, Kamala Harris helped pass the largest government investment into climate and clean energy initiatives, and grants to states to help recover from extreme weather events.

Causes of climate change

Q: Do you believe that climate change is largely driven by human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels? If not, is there a different cause you would cite?

A: Harris calls climate change an existential threat and says the United States needs to act urgently to address it. As a presidential candidate in 2019, she released a $10 trillion climate plan that calls for investing in renewable energy, holding polluters accountable, helping communities affected by climate change and protecting natural resources. As California attorney general, she prosecuted oil companies for environmental violations. As vice president, she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided about $370 billion to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below their 2005 levels by the end of this decade.

Climate change and extreme weather

Q: Do you believe climate change is making disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires and heat waves more intense?

A: Harris has said the United States must take action to fight climate change in the face of increasing drought, floods, hurricanes, wildfires and sea level rise. As vice president, Harris announced more than $1 billion in grants in 2022 for states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change. “The frequency has accelerated in a relatively short period of time,” she said. “The science is clear. Extreme weather will only get worse, and the climate crisis will only accelerate.’’

How to address climate change

Q: Should climate change be addressed through government action or market forces?

A: The Biden-Harris administration’s signature Inflation Reduction Act represents the largest infusion of government cash into climate and clean-energy initiatives. Harris and Biden sought to put the U.S. on a path to cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. Under Harris’s climate plan as a 2019 presidential candidate, she advocated for a blend of government action and market forces to combat global warming. “A climate pollution fee can play an important role as one of several interrelated policies to reduce emissions and hold polluters accountable…” she said. “However, history shows us that reliance on market mechanisms alone can often leave communities behind.”

Clean energy tax credits

Q: Do you support clean-energy tax credits such as those for electric vehicles?

A: In 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies for electric cars and other clean-energy technology, including tax credits for clean-energy and energy-efficiency home projects. She has been a proponent of electric vehicles and as a senator supported a national zero-emissions vehicle standard. In May, she visited Detroit to announce federal grants for smaller companies making electric-vehicle parts.

WEF: You could be preparing to go to Mars. Scientists will have worked out how to keep you healthy in space. The start of the journey to find alien life?

NSA.gov states, “Mars remains our horizon goal for human exploration because it is one of the only other places we know where life may have existed in the solar system. What we learn about the Red Planet will tell us more about our Earth’s past and future, and may help answer whether life exists beyond our home planet. Like the Moon, Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and a driver of technologies that will enable humans to travel and explore far from Earth.”

WATCH: Kamala Harris speaks with Oprah Winfrey about our power in a democracy | Harris-Walz 2024

On September 24, 2024 The Hill published an article titled Harris’s agenda mirrors the Democratic Socialists of America by public policy and political analyst Merrill Matthews who wrote,

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, is a communist and Marxist and refers to her as “Comrade Kamala.” While it’s doubtful that Trump’s name calling helps him win over voters, if he has to call her something, he should have tagged her as a socialist. That’s because Harris’s major policy proposals are almost identical to those promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

The DSA lists 10 policy positions under the heading “Our Platform.”

First up is “Deepening and Strengthening Democracy.” Of course, President Biden, Harris and nearly all Democrats repeatedly claim “democracy is under attack” and that Trump is a “threat to democracy.”

The DSA says it wants to “end minority rule” by getting rid of the Senate and the Electoral College. Harris would likely settle for ending the Senate’s filibuster so bills and all presidential appointments could be decided by a majority vote.

In addition, the socialists want to add seats to the U.S. Supreme Court (court packing) and impose term limits on the justices. Harris and most Democrats are pushing both SCOTUS reforms.

The DSA’s second item is “Abolition of the Carceral State” (“carceral” refers to prison and jail time). The DSA wants to “defund the police” — where have you heard that before? — and “free all incarcerated people.” Harris supported the “defund” movement and eliminating bail for some crimes until those positions became political liabilities. Now she tries to hide her soft-on-crime policies by stressing her background as a prosecutor.

Under “Abolish White Supremacy,” the DSA wants the government to pay reparations to Black people, “extend and expand sanctuary protections across the U.S.” and “end environmental racism.” Harris is on board with all of those, or at least she used to be.

There is a long DSA list of demands under “A Powerful Labor Movement,” including a right to unionize and an end to “right to work laws.” Isn’t the Biden-Harris administration supposed to be the most pro-union in history?

One of the DSA’s biggies is “Economic Justice,” where we find a whole host of demands, including free public college, canceling all student loan debt and medical debt and massive new regulations. Harris’s “opportunity economy” includes all three.

Of course, you had to assume “Gender and Sexuality Justice” would be on the DSA’s list, which includes “reproductive justice for all” (i.e., abortion) and a “guarantee of queer-friendly and gender-affirming healthcare.” Harris embraces both.

Next is the “Green New Deal,” which isn’t green or new. The GND has always been a social justice program masquerading as environmental policy. Harris was one of the original GND co-sponsors.

Under the topic of “Health Justice” the DSA supports Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) Medicare for All bill — which is a government-run health care system and has no resemblance to Medicare. Harris was a co-sponsor until she decided it would be a political liability.

The ninth DSA item is “Housing for All.” Wait, has Harris been talking about expanding government-built housing and providing a $25,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers? Yes, come to think of it, she has.

The DSA’s last heading proposes “International Solidarity” and “Anti-imperialism.” It’s not clear what Harris’s foreign policy is, but it likely reflects Biden’s appeasement policy with respect to China and Iran.

To be sure, the DSA’s agenda goes into much more depth on each major point than Harris does. But then who doesn’t go into more depth that Kamala Harris? So, while it’s possible that Harris would disagree with some DSA sub-points, it’s undeniable that she agrees, or has agreed, with the socialists on their major themes.

Harris has tried to separate herself from some of her past publicly stated positions — thus hoping to be “unburdened by what has been.” But she hasn’t made a meaningful shift on any issue. She made that clear in her softball interview with CNN’s Dana Bash when she asserted her “values haven’t changed.” That was a wink to anyone who was concerned Harris might have moved toward the center.

Her values — and those of today’s Democratic Party — are essentially identical to those of the Democratic Socialists of America. The only major difference is DSA members aren’t trying to hide their socialist beliefs; Harris is.

The Bottom Line

Mary Rooke in a Daily Caller column titled Walz Solidifies Harris Policy Position That Would Transform Country As We Know It wrote, “The issue is that Democrats like Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris use the expression “fire in a crowded theater” to excuse the suppression of a wide variety of speech protected under the First Amendment. Anything Democrats consider ‘hate speech,’ ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’ is grounds for censorship in their view.”

The destruction of the First Amendment will fundamentally transform America into a Marxist dictatorship.

The Harris platform mirrors that of the World Economic Forum.

That is the reality of what is as stake on November 5th, 2024.

A Short and Partial List of Common [Marxist] Terms and a Translation to Reality

This is a post I have wanted to make for a long time. A Marxist to English dictionary, even if its only half a page. The point of it is to understand how to do it much more than just exposing the specific terms we chose as exemplars. Understanding the principles and methods of Marxist dialectical terminology is critical if you want to have any chance of seeing outside the Matrix.

Communism is not much more if anything at all, than a system for attacking and destroying Western civilization at every level at which Western Civilization operates and exists. More than we are even aware of. Every aspect of our nature from our forms of reasoning and cultures as well as all institutions and professions which support our systems. From medicine to engineers, pilots to teachers etc.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals is an excellent manual on how to use orthodox Marxist methods adapted to the early 20th century. And a lot of those methods can be said to be a subset of Critical Theory.

At one level, critical theory is really simple. It is just criticizing everything about the West. Dishonestly, partially honestly, meaning spinning a real thing into something totally other than it really was to make the West, and especially the US look bad, or even honest criticism in an emergency, so to speak. Meaning when a narrative attack isn’t available. But in nearly all cases, Critical Theory is about a fictionalized version of the target and then a critical theory attack on that fiction.

It is because of this that we noticed that the media would sustain a rabid feeding frenzy over any non-white person killed by police either due to no fault of the police, like with George Floyd, or where the person who was shot richly deserved it as they were in the process of committing a violent crime. Even more importantly, that when a person who could be labelled as a black person was killed by police for reasons that were likely genuinely racist, there was little to no media and certainly no major protests or riots.

And this is 100% sensible when one understands that the idea is not to make the system better, but to destroy it altogether. 

When people protest a real problem there is a solution that makes things even better than they were before. But when the problem is synthetic, the solution the rioters want, defund the police etc. is the only option on the table.

Therefore, when we look at the way we are forced to look at race relations now in the West, and particularity the USA, we can see and understand it as a product of :

Critical Race Theory. A critical theory attack on the West by attacking people of European ethnicity, or “white people” as guilty of any number of things for which they have no connection and in many ways no-one ever was guilty as the history is usually partly or fully fictionalized. Certainly the context will be adjusted for the best effect of the Critical Theory attack.

The communists now in control of the schools are becoming more bold now and use the term, Critical Race Theory more openly. But that is what it is. A branch of Hegelian dialectics as interpreted by Marx and refined by the Frankfurt School tactician, Alinsky. This process of abstracting and expanding Marxist methods of attack on the West continue to this day. And the people fighting for the West for the most part do not understand the nature of the attack, and spend all their resources arguing the reality behind the critical theory attack, if they even get that far. In other words, arguing the surface specifics of a given narrative’s claims, while the critical theory attack does its damage.

As we often say, with the left, the point is never the point. The Revolution is always the point.

[I think I first heard that from Diana West but she may have been quoting someone else]

Let’s have a look at a few more terms:

Multiculturalism — Critical culture theory.

Like BLM is a Marxist expression of critical theory by creating a dialectic confrontation between black and white people with the intention of destroying both ultimately, but ‘white’ people first, Multiculturalism is exactly the same. Bring in people from different cultures. Pretend to the host country that bringing in different cultures really just means interesting new recipes and sophisticated new arts and entertainment. But the reality of Multiculturalism means giving special protection to people from outside the host country to ‘protect their cultures’ while removing basic, even fundamental rights to the citizens of the host country, such that no opposition to what is taking place can happen without the objector being either directly guilty of a crime such as ‘hate speech’, or adjacent to a crime such as ‘racism’ where ‘racism’ while not always and not in all districts is specifically a crime, it can be dealt with by removing additional rights such as social media use, access to banking or even the right to use of a credit card or even accepting credit cards. So while not a crime, it is indeed punishable.

This happened to Robert Spencer for factual and unimpeachable explanations and descriptions of Islam that make Western peoples aware of it as a threat doctrine. Which it is. In case you haven’t noticed. But in all cases, the term, “multiculturalism’ is one deceptive click away from Critical race theory. The use of fictionalized race history and relations, or truthful ones but spun or cherry picked for a political outcome, rather than information. And the outcome is destruction.

Critical Culture Theory is tearing the west apart and down everywhere. And it has moved to pure oppression in the UK.

Climate Change — Critical Climate Theory

This one required an extra twist. It required moving from science as a method of understanding the universe, to scientism, where Marxist politicians tell you how the universe works. It is a gnostic cult of the White Coat. Science is never done by consensus. Politics and religion are, and in the case of communism, even that consensus is imposed from above. With Global Warming/Climate Change, we saw experts we never heard of, explain a consensus in the ‘science’ which has ‘already been done’ to explain why the measures being taken to ‘combat climate change’ cannot be questioned. You know, cause so many scientists agree. Real scientists, ones who explain their methods and publish their research get cancelled. Anyone who wants to see an excellent example of this should watch The Cloud Mystery. This is a short documentary by two Danish scientists who actually have a hypothesis on climate and temperature, and then prove it with data going back to Galileo’s first use of the telescope to study the Sun. Then watch the linked video of an explanation on how a Frankfurt School 2nd generation member, Jurgen Habermas, created the framework around which a small minority can impose their will on the majority using ‘consensus’ for political purposes.

Below, a truly amazing example of how Canada’s CBC COMINTERN broadcaster does exactly this. They make any refutation of Critical Climate Theory into hate speech as per Habermas. Have a listen after watching the linked video on Habermas.

But what makes it critical climate theory is its use to destroy Western industry. Communists picked the one marker that all industry in the world produces, CO2, and claimed it is a pollutant and claimed it as an existential threat to the World. Unless it is produced in China, North Korea, or anywhere else already socialist/communist. Then it is not to be mentioned. Like all Critical theory, it is meant to be destructive to Western Civ. And this one is majorly destructive. After all, if it was a real threat the people agitating over it would meet on Zoom and not fly private jets all over the world, and purchasing multi million dollar beach front homes for themselves where they themselves had saiid would be deep under water already from “global Warming”. And we would be building nuclear power plants as fast as we could. Even people who have real or exaggerated concerns about the safety of modern nuclear energy plants, will admit that the risk is not an existential risk to all life on Earth as they claim climate change to be. So in other words, it is a fake problem with real solutions that are avoided, in order to get the solutions they want, which is our destruction.

SOGI (Sexual orientation and Gender Identification) also Gender affirming Care — Critical Sex theory.

Destroying how people think of each other in terms of sexuality is a major victory for communists. After all, without reproduction, we go extinct. And yes, that is a victory for communism by some interpretations of communist theory. There are leftist groups across the West now that actively and openly seek human extinction. But as a rule, just for white people. Or more accurately, anyone who supports Western Civilization of any race or colour, as they will be labelled as white people and treated as such or worse by the left. Larry Elder as one clear example.

To the point though, destroying people’s ability to reproduce using drugs and surgical mutilation is a bonus. The main purpose is to destroy how Western people view each other sexually. This one deserves more than its own essay. It deserves a book.

Some point form proofs though, are that China made an official announcement, and passed a law, that no effeminate men can be seen  on TV. In other words, Critical Race Theory is a destructive dialectical weapon against the West and China needs to protect itself from it in case it comes back home. Like Covid.

Below is a truly excellent video on the communist origins of Critical Sex Theory:

DEI — Critical institutional theory, or Critical Merit Theory

The whole purpose of DEI is to destroy all the institutions we have. Stephen Coughlin feels it is primarily to destroy our military capability. And it can and it will. But it has already destroyed many other professions. The Merit principle is one of the absolute supporting pillars of Western Civ. The idea that the person best suited for a job and best at it, gets the job, not only enables things to be done well, but advances all of our sciences and arts throughout the history of Western Civ. One can spot quickly the number of positions in leftist governments that use DEO hires, or what we used to call, “Affirmative Action”. An older term used as a disguise for Critical Merit theory. This is not to say that people other than white males are incapable. In fact it has nothing to do with white males. DEI is about making sure the people picked for important and responsible positions are incapable. They would definitely pick a white male for a job requiring training and coordination if the person they picked had advanced Parkinson’s and Alzheimers. In fact they picked one for President of the United States.

The Merit principle also is the best example of actual fairness in human history. Everyone understands when someone who has worked harder, is more dedicated, more talented or simply better at a job gets the job. It was the replacement of nepotism. In fact some historians argue that Lincoln was actually shot by a man who felt that he deserved a well paid and prestigious civil service job by nepotism and was passed over for someone of greater merit. Out of resentment, he shot Lincoln. DEI manufactured the idea that all who are good or accomplished are oppressors, and therefore not deserving. That achievement is cheating. Taking responsibility is privilege and so on. Over the course of the revolution in the West during the past 10 years or so, we see countless examples of Critical merit theory. From Math is Racist to reading to your children is racist.

This is only a partial list. Comments are welcome with other phrases used as disguised attacks on us all.

FEMA Lists ‘Equity’ Among Top Goals Even As Americans Face The Aftermath Of Hurricane Helene

The Biden administration’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) 2022-2026 strategic plan outlines three “ambitious goals,” with the first focusing on equity as the death toll from Hurricane Helene surpasses 100.

Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, hit Florida Thursday and has since swept through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, with at least 120 people killed due to the storm, according to the New York Post. FEMA, the agency responsible for the federal response to hurricanes, has previously centered its focus on equity and community in hopes of helping the agency “address the increasing range and complexity of disasters” within diverse communities, the strategic plan states.

“Wide-ranging and long-term, the goals defined in the plan respond to the changing landscape in which we find ourselves. While some activities in this plan can be quickly realized, some will require efforts through 2026,” the agency’s site states.

“The plan outlines three bold, ambitious goals to meet this challenge,” the site continued. “These goals position FEMA to address the increasing range and complexity of disasters, support the diversity of communities we serve, and complement the nation’s growing expectations of the emergency management community.”

FEMA’s first goal is to “instill equity as a foundation of emergency management,” the second is to “lead the whole community in climate resilience” and the third aims to “promote and sustain a ready FEMA and a prepared nation.”

As cities like Asheville, North Carolina, face devastation from flooding, the agency has been criticized online, with users questioning the lack of assistance. Journalist Nick Sorto criticized the Biden administration and FEMA while assisting in the storm’s aftermath.

In August 2023, FEMA faced backlash for holding employee training on “white supremacy” while over 1,000 Hawaiians were missing after the destructive Maui wildfires, according to The Washington Free Beacon. The federal agency reportedly mandated a three-hour long diversity training for its employees, arguing how white supremacy is “ingrained in nearly every system and institution in the U.S.”

The August 8, 2023, wildfires on the island resulted in the deaths of 102 people, damaging over 3,000 structures in Lahaina.

FEMA did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Kamala’s Unsavory Supporters at the Lemkin Institute

Some of Kamala Harris’s supporters constitute yet another ominous omen in the perturbing accumulation that the prospect of her victory portends.

Recently, a distressed Twitter/X message from a well-known Israeli-Australian human rights jurist caught my eye. It dealt with an institute, which I must confess, I had never heard of previously—but perhaps that is merely a testament to my ignorance.

Shameful & Shameless

The institute, the Lemkin Institute, professes to be dedicated to the study of the grisly topic of “genocide” and what so appalled the eminent lawyer was the bizarre manner in which the Institute—that bears the name of the man, who originally conceived the term “genocide”—had chosen to twist and distort its alleged focus of inquiry. With evident dismay, he tweeted: Quite incredible that @LemkinInstitute, named after Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term ‘genocide’, would now be shilling for jihadists of Hezbollah (and Hamas), who would seek to carry out another genocide against the Jewish people! Shame on you!

Indeed, there is much to justify his consternation. After all, the Institute issued a statement that reeks of unadulterated Judeophobia, condemning Israel’s response to an unprovoked and barbarous massacre of its civilian population by the Islamo-fascist terror organization, Hamas—with the eager complicity of the Gazan population at large.

Willfully blind to the fact that Israel is engaged in conflict, not of its choosing, with two terror organizations, backed by a global state sponsor of Jihadi terror, all of which have the explicit intent of genocide (the express intent of eliminating the Jewish state and its Jewish inhabitants) brazenly emblazoned across their publicly professed positions. In fact. the obliteration of Israel is a major part of the raison d’etre of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the tyrannical theocracy in Tehran. Yet, on its X account, the Institute shamelessly accuses Israel of being a “genocidal state that is completely out of control”, wildly alleging  that it is “supported by a Western world that is, in large measure, too racist and Islamophobic to care.” Similar toxic tirades appear on the Institute’s website and the LinkedIn account of the Institute’s Executive Director.

Conflating “chalk & cheese”

It should be remembered that when Lamkin coined the term “genocide”, it was against the ghastly backdrop of the WWII Holocaust, a mega-tragedy involving the meticulously planned and purposely perpetrated annihilation of millions of non-combatants (particularly Jews) for no other reason than their ethnic origins. Israel’s action in Gaza differs vastly from anything that can be associated, even remotely, with those comprising genocide.

After all, what genocidally inclined villain would take the painstaking –some would say decidedly ill-advised—efforts that Israel has taken to protect enemy civilians? Indeed, authoritative military sources such as former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, Richard Kemp, and West Point’s Urban warfare expert, John Spencer have stated unequivocally that Israel has achieved the lowest ratio of civilian casualties in the history of urban warfare. Moreover, IDF has regularly pre-warned Gazan civilians to vacate areas to be attacked and arranged for safe passage of non-combatants out of combat zones to designated sanctuary areas. In addition, Israel has conveyed well over a million tons of humanitarian aid—including food, water, and medical supplies—to the Gazan population.

Perversely, it is difficult to conceive of conduct any less consistent with the practice of genocide.

Caricaturizing & miniaturizing

Indeed, not only has the Institute blatantly evaded mentioning that much of the Gazan death toll is due to the actions of Hamas leadership, which not only used its own civilians as human shields but actively urged, threatened, and physically prevented them from evacuating war zones for safer locations.

Thus, the Jews, the victims of the archetypical genocide (the Holocaust) are now, by some perverted sleight-of-hand, being portrayed as the purveyors of a maliciously contrived and choreographed “genocide” of its attackers. In embracing this distorted approach, in which all civilian deaths due to war, regardless of scale, scope, or circumstance, are designated “genocide”, the Institute has cheapened and sullied its solemn sphere of study—in effect caricaturizing its content and miniaturizing its dimensions.

It is against this backdrop that the accusation of genocide, leveled by the Institute, not only at Israel, but at its strategic allies. should be viewed. Thus, the Lemkin Institute charged Azerbaijan, one of Israel’s largest suppliers of energy and a major commercial partner, with perpetrating “genocide” during its 2023 operation in Nagorno-Karabakh—this despite the very low estimates of fatalities incurred in the fighting (mostly combatants on both sides)  and that the ethnic Armenian residents were afforded passage to their motherland, Armenia.

After all, whatever one’s opinion on the rights-and-wrongs of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, it is clear Baku’s objective was not ethnic slaughter. Rather, it was the ending tof he undeniably anomalous and destabilizing situation, whereby a sizeable enclave, entirely within the frontiers of one sovereign nation is populated by inhabitants, who not only identify with another nation, but an adversarial one at that.

November 2016: Ominous omens

This dubious and manipulative “intellectual” skullduggery demonstrated by the Institute might not be worth much attention had it not been for the upcoming elections and the senior leadership of the Institute, not only throwing their weight firmly behind the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, but for aiming to implant their (the Lemkin Institute’s) biased anti-Israel agenda into Harris’s campaign.

For the Jewish state, this is yet one more ominous omen in the gathering accumulation of grave concern that the prospect of a Harris victory portends.

Christopher Tomlinson: ‘Trump Is Right. Mass Migration HAS Destroyed Paris and London’

Many other cities all over Europe are not far behind. The objective on the part of the European elites is to sow chaos they can exploit to justify the imposition of authoritarian regimes, which will, of course, be favorable toward Sharia.

Trump Is Right. Mass Migration HAS Destroyed Paris and London

by Christopher Tomlinson, National Pulse, September 24, 2024:

President Donald J. Trump recently stated that migrants had destroyed the cities of London and Paris. He’s right.

“Look what’s happened in London, look what’s happening in Paris,” Trump said to the crowd while endorsing a plan that could see large-scale deportations of illegals that have come into the United States under the Biden-Harris regime.

Trump correctly asserts that mass migration, particularly illegal migration, has radically transformed both of these once-gleaming international destinations.

TOUR DE FARCE.

Paris has become a hub for illegals, and tent encampments are not uncommon, full of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of illegals and asylum seekers. Of those, some are underage Moroccans who engage in petty theft and drug-related crime. In 2018, Paris police arrested 1552 Moroccan migrant minors but only managed to deport six of them.

Underage Africans have also been forced to work as “soldiers” for drug gangs in Paris and elsewhere in Europe.

Migrants are vastly overrepresented in crime in Paris. In 2023, 30 out of 97 rapes on the streets of the capital were actually solved. Among those arrested, 77 percent were foreigners. Even President Emmanuel Macron has admitted that around half of the crime in Paris is committed by foreigners….

LONDON FALLING.

The effect of mass migration on London is even more stark than in Paris. Census data shows that native white British people now make up just 36.8 percent of the city’s population; by contrast, white British made up just over 97 percent of the city’s population in 1961….

Mass migration has also brought crimes not seen previously in the British capital, like acid attacks, with 107 such incidents seen in 2022. Machete assaults have also become more common, though they are included in statistics on overall knife crime….

Biden/Harris Once Again Halts Weapons Israel

Biden Harris doing their part for the jihad war on the West. Mind you, the endless supply of weapons to Ukraine (!) continues uninterrupted.

Just as Israel has Hezbollah on the run, with its operatives trying to escape to Northern Lebanon and being kept out by the Lebanese Maronite Christians, to Syria where they are finding small success, and even to Libya where they are being told ‘Not here,’ the US is about to propose a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.

The US continues to withhold critical materials from Israel – even defensive D9 tractors which Israel modifies to expose and blow up roadside IADs before they injure, maim, or kill our troops.

The US plan, will, as all things Biden/Harris, fail spectacularly.

But it will succeed in one respect – to turn the respect (begrudging as it may be), the world is showing to Israel into more hate — hate for the victim not the Iran backed terrorists.

When Israel shows strength and determination, the US shows weakness and surrender. And subservience to Iran, whom it paid to sponsor of terror.

And let’s not forget that the money also paid for the Iranian hit team in America that is gunning for President Trump.” (Geller Report reader DD).

Republican senators say Biden administration is continuing to delay critical weapons from Israel

Republican Senators allege the Biden administration is delaying the delivery of three critical types of military weapons and equipment to Israel.

By Hannah Sarisohn, Jerusalem Post, September 25, 2024;

Republican Senators Tom Cotton (AR) and Mitch McConnell (KY) believe the Biden administration is continuing to delay the delivery of three critical types of military weapons and equipment, according to a letter the senators sent to the White House on Wednesday.

According to Cotton and McConnell, the Biden administration is withholding MK-84 bombs, Apache attack helicopters, and Caterpillar DP tractors.

“Despite ongoing discussions between the United States and Israel, your administration has failed to fast-track and approve the sale of Apache attack helicopters,” the letter said.

“Israel requested these helicopters last December, recognizing the increased need given the war in Gaza. That need has only increased with Hezbollah’s escalation in the North.”

Harris Campaign Leader Admits VP Plans to ‘Keep a Lot’ of Biden’s Economic Policies

According to the co-chairman of the Harris-Walz campaign, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has a plan to fix the American economy — and that plan is almost identical to what she and President Joe Biden are already doing with their White House tenure. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), one of the chairmen of Harris’s presidential campaign, addressed Americans’ financial worries in an interview on Tuesday, claiming that Harris has a plan to “open up the door to economic opportunity.”

CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin asked Coons, “Do you think that the American public … deserve to know specific details about her economic plan?” In other words, “Should you know what your tax rate is going to be or at least what she believes your tax rate should be before you go to the polls? Should you know what the regulatory sort of regime in her perfected world would look like?”

Coons replied that Harris has “laid out a broad vision for what are her priorities” in terms of the economy. After suggesting that Americans “look at the chaos, the unpredictability, the sort of careening around the field of the former president,” the Delaware Democrat did admit that Harris intends “to keep a lot of the same policies and agendas” put in place by the Biden-Harris administration.

But those same economic policies and agendas have proven wildly unpopular. For years now, Americans have been worrying about skyrocketing inflation and sharply-increasing housing prices while going into debt just to fund day-to-day necessities like school supplies for children. Noting these concerns, CNBC’s Joe Kernen said, “Americans still don’t feel like it’s a great economy and they prefer Trump — maybe it’s narrowing a little, but they prefer Trump and the way he managed the economy more than the current administration.”

Coons responded, “Part of it is that Americans — when you ask the question, ‘Are you better off today than you were four years ago?’ — many Americans misremember just how bad the economy was four years ago and how strong our economic recovery from the pandemic has been.”

But Americans do remember being able to afford gas and groceries. Immediately following the presidential debate earlier this month between Harris and her rival, former President Donald Trump, undecided and Independent voters overwhelmingly aligned with Trump, largely citing the strength of the U.S. economy under his administration. One voter told The New York Times, “When Trump was in office — not going to lie — I was living way better. I’ve never been so down as in the past four years. It’s been so hard for me.”

In fact, according to voter analysis from Fox News, even Democrats preferred Trump’s vision and plan for the economy, jobs, and inflation over Harris’s. A CNN poll found that Trump maintains a 20-point lead over Harris on economic issues, which have been consistently ranked the most pressing concern for voters ahead of November. He also holds a 23-point lead over Harris on immigration, which voters rank as a close second for crucial issues.

A number of voters also expressed dissatisfaction with Harris’s failure to clarify her plan for the economy. Many said that the vice president was too vague and offered few details. Those complaints have persisted in the succeeding weeks, as Harris has failed to offer specifics in interviews. Even when asked point blank, Harris has opted to reminisce about her “middle class” childhood rather than detail her vision for the economy.

Coons was confronted on this point on Tuesday. Sorkin said that he could only name five specific policies Harris has mentioned over the past months and noted that most voters would prefer to hear of 10 or 15 proposals. Coons grinned and, instead of offering answers, simply asked, “And what do you know about Donald Trump’s tax and regulatory agenda?”

Teamsters Union Won’t Endorse Harris after Members Back Trump

For the first time in decades, one of the nation’s largest and most influential labor unions is refusing to endorse a Democrat for president. Representing nearly one-and-a-half million American workers, the Teamsters Union announced late Wednesday that it would not be endorsing either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump in this year’s presidential race.

This marks the first time since 1996 that the Teamsters have not endorsed a presidential candidate. Previously, the union has overwhelmingly endorsed Democrats for president, including endorsing now-President Joe Biden in 2020. The Teamsters have not endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

“The Teamsters thank all candidates for meeting with members face-to-face during our unprecedented roundtables,” Teamsters’ International Union General 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,” O’Brien continued. “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.”

“As the strongest and most democratic labor union in America, it was vital for our members to drive this endorsement process. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents proudly call our union home, and we have a duty to represent and respect every one of them,” O’Brien added. “We strongly encourage all our members to vote in the upcoming election, and to remain engaged in the political process. But this year, no candidate for President has earned the endorsement of the Teamsters’ International Union.”

In comments to The Washington Stand, FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter said, “To see the Teamsters decline to endorse the Democratic nominee for president is not something I thought I would ever see in my lifetime. Since the 2016 election, we have seen the emergence of a truly stunning realignment in the coalitions that make up the two-party system in American politics.” He explained, “The GOP, once home to free trade absolutists and corporate America, has transformed into the home of working men and women, while the Democratic Party has morphed into a party of the upwardly-mobile, high-income, and college-educated.”

Carpenter added, “While the Teamsters opted not to endorse Donald Trump, and instead opted to decline an endorsement of either candidate, they did release polling of their members showing by almost two-to-one they prefer a second Trump term to a Harris administration.”

The Teamsters did release internal polling data, also on Wednesday, asking union members who the 121-year-old organization should endorse for president. According to electronic polling conducted from late July to September 15, nearly 60% said the union should back Trump, while only 34% went with Harris. The remaining 6.4% of polled Teamsters said “other candidates.” A phone poll conducted from September 9 to September 16 found little difference, except a noticeable decline in support for Harris, with 58% of Teamsters backing Trump and only 31% backing Harris. The remaining 11% were almost evenly split between “undecided” and “don’t know.” Polling conducted prior to Biden dropping out of the presidential race found nearly 45% of Teamsters supported Biden, 36.3% supported Trump, and the remaining 7% were split among third-party candidates.

Trump himself commented on the Teamsters’ refusal to back Harris. “The Teamsters for many, many decades always automatically support the Democrats. This year, they refused to do it,” the 45th president said in an interview Wednesday night. He continued, “They took a poll and we got 60% in the poll, in the Teamsters. They’re not gonna support the Democrat this year, they’re gonna — I guess remain neutral. But that was sort of a big event. Nobody ever expected a thing like that to happen.” Trump added that a lot of Teamsters workers used to work for him in the construction and real estate development business years prior and referred to O’Brien as a “top guy.”

In July, O’Brien became the first Teamster to speak at the Republican National Convention, at Trump’s invitation. Upon accepting Trump’s warm welcome, O’Brien said, “Anti-union groups demanded the president rescind his invitation. The Left called me a traitor. This is precisely why it is so important for me to be here today.” Referring to Trump being shot in the head and surviving an assassination attempt just days earlier, O’Brien added, “I think we all can agree, whether people like him or they don’t like him, in light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough S.O.B.” The Teamsters leader also derided economic and labor policies that hurt “American workers,” calling for reform to labor law and bankruptcy law.

Just last month, polling data found that Trump commands a nearly-30-point lead over Harris among white, working-class, and non-college-educated voters nationally. The former president also leads among white, working-class voters across swing states. Earlier this week, Trump spoke at a campaign rally in Flint, Michigan and pledged to increase tariffs on cars made in places like Mexico, in order to bring jobs back to American workers in places like Michigan. “We are going to bring so many auto plants into our country,” Trump promised. “You’re going to be as big or bigger than you were 50 years ago. Because if they’re not willing to build a plant, we don’t want their product.”

Biden-Harris Regime Immediately Leaks Details of Israeli Pager Op

Always stab allies in the back. 

Israel did not take responsibility for the pager attack that crippled Hezbollah’s comms and took out a chunk of their officer corps. It certainly did not go ahead and describe how it was done for the media. That’s tradecraft. And you don’t reveal it.

But the New York Times had a report detailing how it happened that same evening. I won’t link to it as it carries the byline of fake news fabulist Sheera Frenkel who had previously carried water for Hamas and lied that the Islamic terror group had not kidnapped and killed three Israeli teens.

The report is described as being based on briefings received by American officials.

The material leaked to the Times comes from “American and other officials briefed on the operation” and the “American and other officials spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitive nature of the operation.”

Is this classified information? Sounds like it. If we were involved it certainly would be.

The official American position was that we were not aware of the attack beforehand.

A U.S. official said that several minutes before the pagers started exploding across Lebanon, Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant called U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and told him Israel was going to conduct an operation in Lebanon soon, but refused to give any specific details.

The U.S. official said the Israelis didn’t tell the U.S. about the specifics of the operation, but added that Gallant’s call was an attempt to avoid keeping the U.S. totally in the dark.

Nevertheless, U.S. officials said they didn’t see Gallant’s call as a serious prior notice. “We were not aware of this operation and were not involved,” U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters on Tuesday.

Assuming that’s true (and considering the pro-terrorist and foreign regime figures in this administration, including in the Pentagon and NSC, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Israelis held back their plans) then the Israelis held a briefing afterward.

And then the officials turned around and leaked it all to the New York Times.

Did they do that on their own? Maybe. D.C. is notoriously leaky. But still leaking details of an op a few hours after a briefing is a bit much even by D.C. standards. Unless it was administration policy to leak it.

Under Obama, leaks of Israeli operations were standard procedure. But if this was Biden-Harris admin policy, it doesn’t just hurt Israel, it hurts America. The leak undermines claims that we didn’t know about it beforehand. And encourages Hezbollah to target our people as the weaker link in the Oct 7 war.

Some officials in this administration clearly don’t care, but they could also find themselves in the line of fire.

The Biden-Harris admin follows the Obama policy of stabbing allies in the back. But the back it stabs could end up being its own.

Bomb Threats Overwhelm Springfield, Ohio as Nationwide Firestorm over Migrants Continues

Americans in Springfield, Ohio, are still suffering after the Biden-Harris administration dumped tens of thousands of third-world immigrants into their once-quiet city. Springfield resident and former teacher Diana Daniels told Fox News that life has been a “dystopian nightmare” since the arrival of nearly 20,000 Haitian immigrants over the past three years. “You hope you wake up and it’s 2019 again, and then you realize it’s 2024, and it’s the same thing over and over again, day after day,” Daniels said. “It’s hard sometimes to get up in the morning and hear residents that I’ve known for years struggle. This is a paycheck-to-paycheck … kind of town … working class.”

In a sobering reminder of the national attention Springfield has received, multiple bomb threats have forced the evacuation of the town’s city hall, two schools, and the DMV in the last few days. On Saturday, the terror spread to local hospitals as both Kettering and Mercy Health Springfield were put on lockdown while authorities scoured the floors with security teams. As of Saturday afternoon, there was no indication who was behind the threats, though city officials say they are working with the FBI to track down the culprits.  On Sunday, local community college Clark State announced that, “due to recent events,” all classes and activities would be conducted virtually for the coming week.

Meanwhile, Springfield’s most famous native, singer John Legend, appealed to his hometown to embrace the overwhelming migrant population. The hard-core Democrat posted a video addressing the nationwide news. “We had about 15,000 or so immigrants move to my town of 60,000,” he explained. “Now you might say, ‘Wow that’s a lot of people for a town that only had 60,000 before. That’s a 25% increase.’ That is correct.” He goes on to urge locals to accept the inconveniences without protest. “You might imagine there are some challenges with, you know, integrating a new population. New language, new culture, new dietary preferences. All kinds of reasons why there might be growing pains.”

“How about we love one another?” Legend urged. “I grew up in the Christian tradition. We said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.”

His admonition sparked immediate backlash from residents, who fired back, “He’s just like you. Except he doesn’t live in Springfield. He lives in a multi-million-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills,” one person wrote on social media. Others couldn’t believe his nonchalance about the upheaval in the Champion City. “You should totally listen to John Legend lecture you on his hometown of Springfield, and how 15,000 Haitian immigrants into a town of 60,000 is totally normal,” another user replied, attaching a video of Legend and Teigen showing off their “lavish palace.”

“Why don’t you house some of [these] illegal immigrants in your huge privileged mansion?” one person fumed. “…You cool with that? Come on big guy. Take care of these migrants.” Not to mention, another argued, Legend believes the people of Springfield “should just accept the Haitians and their weird ‘dietary preferences,’” referring to the headlines that Haitians are eating geese and ducks.

Despite the legacy media’s attempt to discredit the story, investigative reporter Christopher Rufo posted Saturday morning that he believes the reports of migrants eating pets are true. “EXCLUSIVE,” he writes with photo evidence. “We have discovered that migrants are, in fact, eating cats in Ohio. We have verified, with multiple witnesses and visual cross-references, that African migrants in Dayton, the next city over from Springfield, barbecued these cats last summer.”

Residents and other news outlets, including The Federalist and The Daily Mail, have corroborated the stories that even captured the attention of the September 10 presidential debate. “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” Trump exclaimed, “and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.”

Since Springfield has come into the national spotlight, reports have also surfaced of Haitians showering and bathing in Walmart bathrooms and Haitian men engaging in sex acts on the street.

In addition to weighing down the community’s social services, the immigrants have also caused a significant number of traffic accidents. “The driving in town is horrendous. We do have a really abnormal number of car accidents that are happening,” former Ohio State Representative Kyle Koehler told Fox News. “And it’s not only the number, but the severity of them. When you go on a street that is a 35-mile-an-hour speed limit and there’s a car sitting on its hood, and I’m not talking about one, I’m talking about five or six accidents a week like that, you begin to wonder.”

Douglass Mackey, who had been targeted and jailed by the Biden-Harris administration for sharing political memes, explained that struggling businesses in the area may be giving immigrants preference for jobs over Americans. “An American citizen gets paid $16.50 per hour. No food stamps. No Social Security. No cash assistance. No rent assistance. No free car. No free car insurance,” Mackey said. “A Haitian gets paid $9 per hour and they get everything else paid for. After considering all the federal benefits, it’s likely that the Haitian is making double, or perhaps much more than that, of what an American worker would make.”

Ohio native Senator J.D. Vance (R), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, wrote on social media, “In Springfield, Ohio, there has been a massive rise in communicable diseases, rent prices, car insurance rates, and crime. This is what happens when you drop 20,000 people into a small community. Kamala Harris’s immigration policy aims to do this to every town in our country.” He added, “Don’t let biased media shame you into not discussing this slow moving humanitarian crisis in a small Ohio town. We should talk about it every single day. Kamala Harris did this. And she’ll keep doing it unless we stop her.”

On Friday, Trump reiterated his plans to deport most of the 10 million illegals imported under Biden. “We’re going to start with Springfield,” the former president insisted, adding the town had been “destroyed” by immigration.

Asked about the firestorm engulfing his small town, Mayor Rob Rue (R) shook his head. “Springfield is a community that needs help,” he told The Washington Post. “We are hurting.”

Harris Flatlines In Post-Debate Polls Despite Claims Of Victory

A new poll released Sunday shows Vice President Kamala Harris did not significantly move the needle in her favor despite viewers saying she won the debate, according to ABC News/Ipsos.

Following Tuesday’s presidential debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump, a handful of pundits predicted a polling boost for Harris. However, while 58% of Americans say Harris won the debate, she only gained one point compared to pre-debate polls, now holding 51% support to Trump’s 47% among registered voters, ABC News/Ipsos data shows.

The poll, which was produced by Langer Research Associated with fieldwork by Ipsos, surveyed 3,276 adults online between Sept. 11 – 13 and had a margin of sampling error of 2%. In addition to registered voter support, the poll shows among all adults Harris holds 51% with Trump at 46% and among likely voters Harris holds 52% with Trump at 46%.

Among the new post-debate data, 37% of voters viewed Harris more favorably after the debate compared to 23% who found her less favorable. However, the increase for Harris came mainly from her base, with 69% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents stating they found the vice president more favorable after the debate, as 34% of Republicans and GOP-leaning Independents found Trump more favorable, according to ABC News/Ipsos.

Immediately after the debate, singer Taylor Swift broke her silence on a much anticipated endorsement and revealed she would be supporting Harris come this November. While the move sparked online celebration from Democrats, it showed little impact in the polls, with just 6% of voters saying Swift’s endorsement made them more likely to vote for Harris.

In contrast, 13% said it made them less likely to support the vice president and 81% said it makes no difference, data shows.

Polling on support for the former president appears to have dropped roughly four points compared to August’s data, with the post debate poll now showing 56% of Trump supporters backing him strongly. In contrast, 62% of Harris supporters now back her strongly, according to the ABC News/Ipsos poll.

Despite this backing from supporters, 42% of voters found Trump to be too conservative on issues, and 47% called Harris “too liberal,” which had been a point made by Trump on the debate stage.

With the economy and inflation still leading voters’ top concerns when it comes to voting this November, Trump leads Harris on the issue by 7 points in who Americans trust more to handle the job. While the two are evenly matched on crime and safety, Trump leads by 10 points over Harris on immigration, with the vice president leading by 9 points on health care and 14 points on abortion, data shows.

Trump Takes the Lead in Post-Debate Battleground Polling

Ahead of Tuesday night’s debate, most commentators and voters alike anticipated that former President Donald Trump’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’s performances would do little to sway voters one way or the other, but a series of recent polls suggests otherwise. On Thursday, Trump released internal polling data targeting seven battleground states, showing an increase in support for the man vowing to “Make America Great Again.”

Conducted by veteran Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, the survey found a two-point increase in support for Trump following the debate, and no increase for Harris. In a six-way contest featuring Trump, Harris, and a handful of Independent and third-party candidates, the poll found that Trump and Harris were tied at 46% support each prior to the debate, but Trump pulled ahead to 48% support following the debate. Likewise, while Trump and Harris were tied at 48% each in a one-on-one contest ahead of the debate, Trump’s support increased to 50% following the debate, while Harris’s support dropped to 47%. “These are largely Independent Voters, who are tired of watching our Country go down, and want to, [Make America Great Again]!” Trump observed in his social media post publicizing the polling information.

In a memo accompanying the polling results, Fabrizio wrote, “We found that despite the best efforts of Kamala Harris and media to portray the debate as some kind of overwhelming win for her, voters did not see it this way as support for her remained flat. The only change we saw was a 2-point bump for President Trump in both ballot configurations.” The pollster added, “Clearly, target state voters were not impressed by Kamala Harris’s empty platitudes and while the media would have people believe she is cruising to victory, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.”

Another post-debate poll, this one from Insider Advantage, shows Trump leading Harris in hotly-contested Michigan, where the 45th president leads the incumbent vice president by one point (49% to 48%). Insider Advantage pollster Matt Towery explained, “While there remains some enthusiasm gap in many of these states, with an advantage to Democrats, Michigan has no gap whatsoever. The candidates are basically tied in every age demographic, with Trump slightly ahead among independents.” An Insider Advantage survey prior to the debate found Harris leading in Michigan by two points (49% to 47%), so that the post-debate polling represents a three-point swing away from Harris.

A series of focus group interviews in the immediate aftermath of the debate also indicated burgeoning support for Trump, especially among Independent and undecided voters. Reuters surveyed ten undecided voters after the debate and found that six of the ten had decided to back Trump, while only three supported Harris; one remained undecided. Referring to the newly-minted Trump supporters, Reuters explained, “Four of those six also said Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living.”

The New York Times also reported that undecided voters were unimpressed with Harris’s debate performance, with many siding with Trump throughout the debate. Fox News found that Independent voters tracked almost entirely with Republicans during the debate, aligning with Trump’s positions on inflation, immigration, and other issues. A CNN survey found that Trump had a 20-point post-debate lead over Harris on economic issues and a 23-point lead on immigration issues.

Numerous other polls have found that a majority of Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the state of the nation under the Biden-Harris administration. A Napolitan News Service survey found that nearly 60% of Americans believe that they were better off four years ago, under Trump’s presidency, than they are today. Two-thirds of respondents also said that their income “has been falling behind” and not keeping up with inflation. A Pew Research poll discovered that 74% of Americans are “very concerned about the price of food and consumer goods,” while concerns over the cost of housing have increased nearly 10 points just over the past year. A New York Times/Siena College poll reported that nearly two-thirds (63%) of likely voters directly fault Harris for the ongoing illegal immigration crisis.

Biden/Harris Blocked Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal

So how many Russian and Ukrainian lives and billions of dollars of U.S. aid to Ukraine could have been saved?


Biden-Harris Official Admits They Blocked a Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal

By 

Anti-Russia warmonger and recent Biden-Harris official Victoria Nuland has admitted that Ukraine and Russia were approaching a peace deal in 2022 but that the United States blocked the deal, claiming it was unfair to Ukraine.

Nuland was questioned about claims first reported by Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, suggesting that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reject a potential peace deal with Moscow in 2022.

This was later confirmed by Russian President Vladimir Putin during an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year.

Nuland explained that foreign leaders involved in the negotiations believed the parties were close to reaching an agreement. However, the terms of the proposed deal, especially those regarding military constraints on Ukraine but not on Russia, were an issue for Western powers.

“Putin’s main condition was buried in an annex,” she said, referring to restrictions on Ukraine’s future military capabilities while similar limits were not imposed on the Russian military.

She admitted, “People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal, and it was at that point that it fell apart.”
