Trump takes a clear lead among New York State’s Jewish voters
By Andrea Widburg
Siena College’s latest poll had some interesting results, especially from Jewish voters, long one of the Democrat party’s most reliable demographics. It turns out that Jewish voters don’t like what they see. The poll generally asks like/dislike questions and specific questions about the economy and immigration, but I have to believe that Jews are also worried about the Democrats’ antisemitism problem and Kamala and Biden’s efforts to save Hamas (a Nazi-like terrorist organization) from extinction.
You can see the Siena poll here, but it’s in microscopic font with a bewildering number of rows of information. I’ve broken out the massive shift in Jewish support for Trump and some interesting general findings.
Preliminarily, up to and including 2020, Jews have consistently voted for Democrats—and, as this WaPo report shows, they’ve done so by huge margins. The only exception was for Reagan when long-time Democrat Jewish voters (like my father) were frightened by Carter’s weakness in the face of Iran and his lukewarm support for Israel. And no, it’s not that American Jews put Israel before America. It’s that they know that Israel is the tip of the spear when it comes to Islam’s pressure against the West. If Israel goes, that won’t end things; it will be the beginning. Democrats voted for Reagan again in 1984 because of the stunning economic recovery on his watch.
Just four years ago, in 2020, when Siena conducted a poll of New York voters, that blue state (which last voted for a Republican in 1984) loved Biden. Chief among the Biden supporters were the Jews, who gave Biden a 77% favorability rating while giving Trump only a 20% favorability rating. When asked for whom they’d vote, 74% said for Biden.
A lot can happen in four years. Here are the Jewish voting numbers now:
As of this week, 52% of Jews have a favorable view of Donald Trump, compared to 48% with an unfavorable view.
If the election were held today, 54% of Jews would vote for Trump, with 44% voting for Kamala.
On the economy, 58% of Jewish voters favor Trump compared to the 39% favoring Kamala.
On abortion, 49% of Jews still favor Kamala compared to 44% favoring Trump.
On immigration, 58% of Jews favor Trump compared to only 33% for Kamala.
On democracy in the abstract, despite all the talk about Trump being an existential threat to democracy, Jews favor Trump (53%) over Kamala (45%).
On Biden’s job performance, only 41% of Jews approve, while 55% disapprove.
Two more things: First, Jews vote. Currently, 73% are certain to vote in November, and 23% are very likely to vote, for a probably 95% turnout. No wonder Trump is actively seeking the Jewish vote.
Second, for those who say that New York’s Orthodox Jewish community votes conservative, that’s true. However, they’re only about 40% of the Jews in New York. The fact that Trump now leads in the state means non-Orthodox Jews are shifting.
Generally speaking (that is, not focusing just on New York’s Jewish voters), New Yorkers aren’t happy with the status quo. While Democrats still like the direction in which the country is heading (49% compared to 35% who are unhappy), nobody else is very pleased. The poll shows that 88% of Republicans think the country is on the wrong track, a view shared by 76% of Independents and others. If these unhappy New Yorkers understand that Kamala is that status quo, that’s bad news for her. Even if they tell pollsters they’re voting for Kamala, we might see a shy Tory effect.
What’s fascinating about all this is that, for decades, abortion was the one flag that Democrats had to wave to get out the vote. That issue, more than any other, drove voters to the polls. I certainly saw that in the community in which I raised my children. My neighbors worked hard, believed in marriage and family, opposed crime, disliked drug use, wanted low taxes... Indeed, in all ways, they were conservative, except on abortion. Say “abortion,” and they were off to vote for the Democrat.
Knowing this, Democrats have been insisting that Trump wants to ban abortions. They say this even though (a) the Dobbs decision means that the federal government no longer has a say in abortions, (b) Trump has explicitly disavowed seeking to ban abortions at the federal level because he says it’s a state matter now, and (c) Trump has explicitly disavowed Project 2025, which seeks stronger abortion laws. Politically, abortion is a dead federal issue, no matter how much the Democrats flog it.
If the data about Jewish voters are to be believed, the Jewish Democrats’ long-standing (and embarrassing) support for abortion is being overridden, temporarily, at least by more pressing concerns about their survival at home and abroad (they’ve witnessed what’s happened at Columbia and NYU), the economy, and open borders. If Israel is the tip of the spear when it comes to Islamic depredations against the West, maybe Jewish voters in New York are the tip of the spear when it comes to Americans’ concern about where Biden has taken this nation and where Kamala will continue to take it.

NYC’s COVID tsar had sex parties even as he effectively imprisoned New Yorkers
By Andrea Widburg
I honestly don’t even know where to begin with Steven Crowder’s expose of Jay Varma, New York City’s COVID tsar. This is the man who imposed on New York some of the most draconian COVID rules in America: extreme lockdowns, the end of church attendance, family gatherings, and travel, and instituting policies that made people’s lives so miserable that they were effectively forced to get vaccinations to function.
However, a honey trap has revealed that, even as this was going on, Varma was having drug-fueled sex orgies and fully understood that vaccines weren’t necessary for those who had acquired immunity through actually having COVID. He’s a public health tyrant, a hypocrite, a sexual deviant, and a Harvard “educated” person who uses the word “like” all the time, in infantile teenage fashion. He is, in a word, revolting at every level and quite evil.
The video is embedded below, but here are some of the highlights, which I’m quoting from Steven Crowder’s website:
Dr. Jay Varma, Former Senior Advisor for Public Health, NYC Mayor’s Office: “I had to be kind of sneaky about it [sex party] ... I was running the entire Covid response for the city…we rented a hotel...we all took like, you know, Molly [Ecstasy/MDMA] … 8 to 10 of us were in a room...like just being naked with friends…”
Dr. Varma: “We went to some like, underground dance party…underneath a bank on Wall Street…We were all rolling…”
Dr. Varma: “This was not Covid friendly.”
Dr. Varma: “I did all this deviant, sexual stuff while I was, you know, like on TV [press conferences] and stuff…”
Dr. Varma: “I actually was the one who convinced the Mayor [De Blasio] to make it [Covid Vaccine] a mandate.”
Dr. Varma: “So, the way we do it in public health is we make it very uncomfortable to be unvaccinated…They [the public] didn’t get vaccinated because they heard it’s safe, they gave in because it was really hard.”
Varma also boasts about forcing Kyrie Irving out of playing basketball over Irving’s refusal to be vaccinated. The arrogance he shows when speaking about Irving and the venomous political bias about those who opposed mandatory vaccinations all show an indecent man.
Watching the video is worse than those quotations imply. Standing alone, they don’t capture how sleazy Varma is. He speaks like someone hopped up on speed (and I’m not saying he is, just that he speaks that way) and peppers his speech with the mindless teenage interjection of “like.” The overall effect is of a drug-addicted, motor-mouthed evil scientist who is deeply stupid but doesn’t realize it.
I cannot tell you how disturbing the video is. Nevertheless, I urge you to watch it and share it because he is the living embodiment of the Democrat party. They are leftists who love power and they showed their true colors during COVID. They also showed their disdain for normal people and their belief that they are special, so that the normal rules—whether moral rules or the rules they impose on Americans—don’t apply to them.

A Dramatic Tax Pounding Come 2026
By Bruce Willey
It’s a matter of debate as to whether or not the future of democracy is at stake in this year’s presidential election. But the future of your tax bill certainly is. And the differences for successful business owners could be dramatic depending on who wins.
Although Democrat nominee and current vice president Kamala Harris has offered few new tax policy specifics, she did roll out a grab bag of expensive tax credits, including $25,000 grants for first-time homebuyers. In addition, The Wall Street Journal reports that she’s expected to hew closely to Joe Biden’s tax philosophy. And she did re-emphasize that she will stick to President Biden’s “no tax increases for earners under $400,000” pledge.
With billions of dollars in proposed new tax credits and no new taxes for those below a $400,000 income threshold, a Democrat administration will by definition be coming after higher-income taxpayers full force.
There have been enough public statements and published policy proposals from both sides to be able to compare a successful business owner’s likely tax bill under a Harris presidency compared to a second Trump presidency. The differences are stark.
Trump Tax Legacy: Cuts and Jobs Act incentives
The defining tax policy of Donald Trump’s presidency was the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which combined significant personal and corporate tax cuts with features that encouraged more aggressive business investment.
The TCJA lowered most individual tax rates; adjusted tax bracket thresholds upward; adjusted various personal tax credits; and limited state and local tax deductions, mortgage interest deductions, and charitable giving deductions.
On the business front, the TCJA lowered corporate tax rates dramatically, taking the U.S. from one of the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world to about the average rate of the nations belonging to the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD). It also allowed accelerated depreciation for investment in many kinds of business equipment while closing several corporate tax deductions and loopholes.
For successful small business owners, a key feature of the TCJA was its qualified business income deduction for up to 20% of the income of pass-through entities like S-corporations, sole proprietorships, and others.
But a critical feature of the TCJA was that key provisions of it would sunset — expire — in 2025. Why would Congress make such a critical thing as our fundamental tax policy, in effect, temporary? Essentially, because it couldn’t have passed any other way, and the sunset provisions allowed the bill to overcome objections and legislative blocking mechanisms.
Donald Trump has said (no surprise) that his administration will renew and make permanent all of the TCJA’s provisions.
The Biden/Harris administration (also no surprise) has said they’ll let most of the TCJA’s provisions expire, other than the expanded Child Tax Credit and a few other individual tax provisions. The administration’s determination to scrap most of the TCJA forms the foundation for the dramatic divergence in tax outcomes for business owners under Democrats versus Republicans starting next year.
Harris reiterated last week that no one who makes under $400,000 would face a tax increase — though the devil is in the details. Since every income group saw a reduction in its tax rate in 2017, allowing the provisions to expire would seem to logically impose a tax rate increase for everyone.
In addition, the 2021 Inflation Reduction Act contained a massive increase in funding for IRS auditors, and the IRS’s own data show that 63% of 2023 IRS audits targeted taxpayers with incomes under $200,000. So the idea that there’s some kind of legal fence around sub-$400,000 earners is illusory.
The Biden/Harris administration has also proposed hiking corporate tax rates by 33%, raising rates on high earners, and setting a minimum tax rate for them regardless of other tax considerations.
Kamala Harris further tax background
Historically, Kamala Harris has staked out very progressive taxation policies with aggressive marginal rates on high income earners and corporations. As a presidential candidate in 2020, she advocated for the full repeal of the TCJA — not simply waiting for it to sunset.
Highlights of her previously stated plans:
Raising corporate taxes 66% to a marginal rate of 35%
Pushing the top income tax rate to 39.6%.
Taxing capital gains and dividends at ordinary income tax rates.
She would also give huge tax credits to middle- and low-income families that are estimated to cost the federal government more than $2 trillion over the next decade.
Finally, she has in the past proposed “Medicare for All,” one of the most costly policies ever proposed at roughly $3 trillion annually. Harris suggested a surtax of 4% on all incomes above $100,000 to pay for it.
The effects on a successful small business taxpayer
To look at the effect of who’s in the White House for the next four years, let’s examine what a sample successful small businessperson’s tax return might look for the exact same amounts of income this year versus in 2026, when the bulk of the 2017 Trump tax cuts expire, under both Trump’s and Harris’s stated or affirmed tax plans.
This analysis focuses on a successful small businessperson who is reporting combined income from all sources of just under $750,000. The numbers in the example are drawn from an actual 2023 return and anonymized. We can assume the same nominal income from all categories for 2026.
IRS data suggest that about 1% of all taxpayers reported more than $500,000 in income, so with roughly 167 million taxpayers, there would be roughly 1.67 million taxpayers whose returns might look like this — or worse.
Conclusions
What the sample data and calculations suggest is that the hammer will come down hard on high-income taxpayers if Kamala Harris is elected president and Congress doesn’t have enough votes to override her likely vetoes of any legislation that perpetuated the 2017 Trump tax cut.
A taxpayer making $750,000 with relatively straightforward deductions and business investments could see his tax bill leap from about $150,000 under a Trump administration’s stated policies to $217,000 under a Harris administration’s proposed and inferred policies.
That’s an increase of almost 45% in total tax dollars paid.
That painful outcome for the successful taxpayer under Harris would largely be a result of two factors: a reversion to pre-2017 top marginal tax rates and the removal of the Qualified Business Income Deduction.
And all that is before considering that the Biden/Harris administration let a budget footnote slip that indicated that it would seek a gigantic doubling of the capital gains tax.
Our national tax policy and how it affects successful economic contributors will swing wildly on the hinge of this November’s election. High earners will need to prepare for the possibility that the tax door may hit them square in the wallet.

A Target on His Back -- Trump as the New John Wick
By Eric Dawe
Mad to the Max
“I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.” — Hillary Clinton
James Howard Kunstler
Sep 20, 2024
If anything like civil war ignites in this country, the sides will not be the political Red and the Blue but the sane and the insane. Now it happens, unfortunately, that the insane are driving the engine of government. They have been at war with the people of this land for years, depriving them of livelihoods, stuffing them into prison, breaking the social contract, wrecking the country’s relations with the rest of the world, and belaboring the peoples’ minds with one insulting absurdity after another.
They comprise a bizarre coalition of the permanent bureaucracy, the Democratic Party, and the news media. The permanent bureaucracy includes its own machine for making war on citizens: the intel blob, whose tentacles reach into other agencies: Homeland Security, the State Department, the so-called Justice Department, the Pentagon, the myriad Public Health offices, and the shadowy clique that stands-in for a disabled president in the White House.
You can tell they are insane because they are driven by a single motivation: to remain in power for no other purpose than to escape responsibility for their many crimes against the people. This is insane behavior because it depends on the proposition that reality does not matter, that reality is optional, that there is no such thing as truth, and if it happened to exist, to be a thing, it would have no greater value to the human project than its opposite, untruth.
The greatest absurdity of the moment, is the idea that Americans might desire to continue under the rule of this evil coalition devoted to unreality and untruth, that is, to vote for candidates of the Democratic Party. Its greatest crimes, of course, are the lawless measures taken to pervert the very elections that might allow them to retain power in office.
Some of it is well-hidden and abstruse, such as the machinations of election lawfare manager-in-chief, Marc Elias, who for many years has used the courts and the state legislatures to fiddle election rules that make it impossible to account for who is actually casting the votes. This, you understand, is insane. What sovereign people would seek to institutionalize election fraud?
Some election crime is just in your face. The open border policy may have many nefarious angles, but an obvious one is stuffing the voter rolls with live bodies that have names attached, which can be bundled and harvested in ballot form like so many sheaves of oats. No one is fooled by this. Yet the Democratic Party has its heavy hand on the lever of power that controls entry to the country. Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security allows this to happen and bullshits Congress in open committee hearings. Congress has impeached him for this affront and the Democratic majority Senate has declined to hold the attendant trial — because stuffing the voter rolls with illegal immigrants allows them to remain in power.
The remedies for this dastardly mess are pretty simple and straightforward: return to paper ballots cast on one election day, requiring voter ID that amounts to proof of citizenship. Everything else — computerized (hackable) ballot-counting machines, mail-in ballots, early voting, automatic voter registration by means of other government transactions that have nothing to do with elections (motor-voter acts) — only insures election fraud. Sane people do not seek to defraud themselves.
It is widely suspected by the not-insane that even the attempt at massive voter fraud may not avail to put over the paramount candidate of the insane: Veep Kamala Harris. Nobody believes that she is capable of being president. But the insane don’t seek a capable president — in fact, the opposite. They want a president who can only function with direction and management of the blob, by the blob, and for the blob. The blob’s motives, besides seeking to avoid responsibility for its prior crimes, are a license to commit new crimes, especially crimes that expand the many perquisites and privileges of being in power. These include the fortunes to be made in control of the nation’s wealth, and the sadistic pleasure derived from punishing and humiliating their not-insane opponents. For instance, running the insane Ukraine war, with its fabulous kickbacks for the military contractors and office-holders. . . and making you witness more drag queen story hours.
Due to the possibility that sane citizens, despite calculated election fraud, might elect Mr. Trump, who opposes all that psychotic, criminal nonsense, the coalition of the permanent bureaucracy, the Democratic Party, and the news media appears to have few options left besides murdering Mr. Trump. The first two would-be assassins show a train of association with the intel blob. Thomas Crooks (or, at least one of his many cell phones) traveled repeatedly to a downtown DC building adjacent to the FBI HQ; Ryan Wesley Routh has alleged links to the Arlington, Va., Maximus Company, a CIA cut-out — perhaps explaining how the otherwise indigent Routh funded his global travels. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla) disclosed yesterday that the DHS knows of five assassination teams targeting President Trump, three connected with foreign governments, two domestic.
The most mystifying element in the coalition of the insane is the news media — that is, the cable news networks plus The New York Times / WashPost axis —who have tirelessly broadcast the mantras that Mr. Trump seeks to quash our democracy and that he is a new Hitler who must be stopped at all costs. The inflammatory barrage has had an obvious effect. But the mystery is: what’s in it for these news companies to go along with their insane and desperate partners: the blob and the Dems?
What’s in it for Joe Khan, Executive Editor of The Times? His paper lies and spins unreality incessantly. He surely makes a comfortable salary, but he can’t be getting rich. . . that is, really rich. . . millions. Apparently, he publishes unreal stories because he’s insane. He believes things that are not true. Nor are his reporters getting really rich. They just appear to be blinded by sheer hatred — rising to insanity — and perhaps also by the lurking fear that their many published lies, dating back to RussiaGate, will eventually disgrace them professionally if allowed to be pursued and revealed by the sane.
The temperature is rising in this political crucible. Something is going to melt down. It’s looking pretty clear now who can take the heat, and who can’t.

Day by day, how JD Vance tweeted misinformation about Springfield
Despite his staff learning that the cat-eating story wasn’t true on the day of his first post, Vance doubled down and kept going.

September 19, 2024 at 6:00 a.m. EDT
For more than a week, Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, has been tweeting about the influx of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. It started with a false rumor on a Facebook post about migrants eating cats. Former president Donald Trump, in his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept. 10, then asserted: “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.”

Amid the backlash, Vance has doubled down, insisting he has raised legitimate issues that were ignored or belittled by the media. Here’s an assessment of the facts — and misinformation — in his posts on X.
“Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country. Where is our border czar?”
— Sept. 9 (11 million views)

Analysis: This tweet was posted at 10:22 a.m. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that on the morning of Sept. 9, Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck fielded a call from a Vance staff member asking whether there was any truth to the rumors. “I told him no,” Heck said. “There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.”
A Vance spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. Vance has not taken down the tweet, even though his staff knew the rumors had been denied around the time he posted it.
“In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who’ve said their neighbors’ pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It’s possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false. Do you know what’s confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases — like TB and HIV — have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don’t know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can’t afford to put a roof over their head.”
— Sept. 10 (16 million views)
Analysis: There is a significant factual inaccuracy in this tweet, which attempts to provide some cover for the first tweet by acknowledging that it’s possible the rumors might be false.
Vance wrote that “a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here.” But it was an accident — a Haitian migrant, in the country legally but with a foreign driver’s license, accidentally veered into a school bus, killing a child. Nathan Clark, whose son Aiden died in the collision, issued a public plea that his son’s death not be labeled a murder. “Using Aiden as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose,” he said. A Vance spokesman noted that the migrant was found guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide.
The New York Times on Sept. 3 reported on Springfield and the Haitian influx, and there is a basis for some of Vance’s statements. According to the New York Times report:
“The community health clinic saw a 13-fold increase in Haitian patients between 2021 and 2023, from 115 to 1,500, overwhelming its staff and budget.”
“The school district has hired about two dozen teachers who are certified to teach English as a second language and several Haitian-Creole interpreters, thanks to federal and state pandemic-related funds.”
“Michelle Lee-Hall, executive director of Springfield’s housing authority, said that the affordability problem had been aggravated by landlords pivoting to Haitians who were willing to pay higher rent.”
As for the rise in tuberculosis and HIV, the Vance spokesman did not respond to questions about how this could be attributed to Haitians. Clark County health records show the numbers for TB are low, so small changes look like big percentage jumps. There were three cases in 2021, two in 2022, six in 2023 and a preliminary count of four in the first half of 2024. As for HIV, there were 12 cases in 2021, 15 in 2022, 29 in 2023 and a preliminary count of 26 in the first half of 2024. But overall, cases of sexually transmitted diseases have fallen, records show, with syphilis in an especially sharp decline — from 126 cases in 2022 to 45 in 2023. A preliminary count for 2024 recorded 21 syphilis cases.
“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.”
— Sept. 13 (13.8 million views)
Analysis: Vance falsely claimed there was a “massive” rise in communicable diseases. The county health records show a decline in reportable infectious-disease cases per 100,000 people, with the case rate in 2023 the lowest since 2015. (Vance’s spokesman said he was referring to TB and HIV, discussed above.)
His source for rent prices was a Reuters report, citing a Zillow rent index, showing an increase in rental costs of 25 percent from May 2022 to July 2, compared with a national average of a 10 percent increase.
As for crime, Springfield’s annual report shows that public service calls fluctuated, from 59,520 in 2021 to 50,501 in 2022, and 62,521 in 2023. Vance’s spokesman pointed to data on the Ohio crime reporting system for murders, violent crime and property crime.
The number of murders was five in 2021, six in 2022, and nine in 2023 — so small that rendering a percentage increase would be misleading. There were 704 incidents of violent crime in 2021, 743 in 2022 and 751 in 2023, while reported incidents of property crime was 2,388 in 2021, 2,725 in 2022 and 2,837 in 2023. It’s misleading to make conclusions from such a limited set of crime data and, again, there is no documented link to Haitian migrants.
Finally, there’s the question of how many Haitians have moved to Springfield. Vance uses a high estimate of 20,000.
In a July letter to Congress, seeking financial assistance, Heck wrote that “the Haitian population has increased to 15,000 — 20,000 over the last four years.”
But the city of Springfield’s website says there are “12,000 to 15,000” immigrants. “Although it is impossible to provide an exact number, based on data provided from numerous sources, such as the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Springfield City Schools, area health care providers and social services agencies, the total immigrant population is estimated to be approximately 12,000 — 15,000 in Clark County,” the website says on a page devoted to questions about migrants, not specifying whether all were Haitians.
Heck did not respond to an email asking about the discrepancy.
Public information about enrollment in Springfield schools shows that the head count has increased in recent years but is still below the level in 2020. There were 7,716 students in 2019-2020, but that dropped to 7,099 in 2020-2021, the school year after the pandemic. There were 7,107 students in 2021-2022, 7,277 in 2022-2023 and 7,415 in 2023-2024.
“Kamala Harris and her media apparatchiks should be ashamed of themselves. Another ‘debunked’ story that turned out to have merit.”
— Sept. 14 (6.4 million views)
Analysis: Vance quickly elevated a post by right-wing influencer Christopher Rufo, who claimed he had found evidence that “African” migrants in Dayton had eaten cats. Rufo touted an unconfirmed story, with a fuzzy video, and a dubious link to Springfield.
The same day, Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal issued a statement denouncing Rufo’s report: “We stand by our immigrant community and there is no evidence to even remotely suggest that any group, including our immigrant community, is engaged in eating pets. Seeing politicians or other individuals use outlandish information to appeal to their constituents is disheartening.”
“Kamala Harris dropped 20,000 Haitian migrants into a small Ohio town and chaos has ensued. Housing shortages have caused rents to skyrocket, hospitals are overrun, schools are ill-equipped to teach students who don’t speak English, and the roads are unsafe as unlicensed drivers have caused a massive increase in roadway accidents. It’s a disgusting indictment on our news industry, but I’m going to continue speaking up for my constituents and the disastrous effects that Kamala Harris’s open border policies are having on their lives.”

Analysis: Vance refers to a “massive increase in roadway accidents,” but the Ohio crash statistics system indicates that the number of motor vehicle crashes recorded in Clark County has declined since 2021. The Vance spokesman pointed to recent statements by Springfield’s mayor about “reckless operation speeding and distracted driving of motor vehicles” and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, of “a very significant problem” because, he said, many Haitian migrants have “not gone through really any formal courses” to drive in the United States.
Vance also falsely said “the American media didn’t give a damn about any of this until President Donald Trump mentioned Springfield at the debate.” As noted, the New York Times published a lengthy article — which appeared on the front page — a week before the debate.
“The American media has been caught laundering verified foreign disinformation to smear me and President Trump and it’s disgusting.”

Analysis: After bomb threats repeatedly forced the evacuation of schools and government offices, Vance posted a clip of himself making this statement: “And you know what the governor of Ohio came out yesterday and said? Every single one of those bomb threats was a hoax. And all of those bomb threats came from foreign countries. So the American media, for three days, has been lying and saying that Donald Trump and I are inciting bomb threats when in reality the American media has been laundering foreign disinformation. It is disgusting.”
This is incorrect. Dan Tierney, press secretary for DeWine, told The Fact Checker that some calls — less than five — were made from within the United States. Of 34 bomb threats, the “vast majority” were from foreign countries, most from a single country that he would not identify. But Vance chose to ignore that at least some calls were not from overseas — and that the calls didn’t take place until he and Trump trafficked in misinformation.

Less Than 50 Days Until Life in America Changes Forever, and Our Nation Is Primed for Massive Civil Unrest
by Michael Snyder
September 19, 2024
America First Report
(The Economic Collapse Blog)—Years of extremely inflammatory rhetoric from the mainstream media and from many of our leaders have brought us to the brink of a societal nightmare. The numbers that I am about to share with you are horrifying, but it is so important for us to understand what is ahead of us. In an article that I posted yesterday, I discussed the recent attempt on Trump’s life and I stated that “there are some that truly wish that he had been killed”. Unfortunately, that was a tremendous understatement. According to a survey that was conducted after the most recent attempt on Trump’s life, 17 percent of all Americans think that America would “be better off” if Trump had been killed…
Veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen’s national survey of 1,000 registered voters, conducted by RMG Research for the Napolitan News Service, asked Americans about Sunday’s second assassination attempt on Trump. It included this pointed question:
While it is always difficult to wish ill of another human being, would America be better off if Donald Trump had been killed last weekend?
17% Yes
69% No
14% Not sure
There are approximately 333 million people living in the United States today. 17 percent of 333 million is 56.6 million. So there are approximately 56.6 million Americans that wish that Trump had been killed last weekend.
Just think about that number for a moment. That is nuts! Of course most of the people that wish that Trump had been killed are Democrats.
According to the same survey, a whopping 28 percent of all Democrats believe that America would “be better off” if Trump had been killed, and another 24 percent are not sure…
That figure includes 28% of Democrats who say that America would have been better off if Trump had been assassinated. Another 24% of Democrats were not sure. Fewer than half (48%) of Democrats could bring themselves to say that America would not be better off if the opposing party’s candidate for president had been assassinated.
Scott Rasmussen, president of RMG Research, said “It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered.”
This just shows how far gone this nation is.
If he wins the election, how is Trump supposed to govern this country when more than 50 million people want him dead?
Trump has already survived two assassination attempts, and it will literally be a miracle if he actually makes it to the election.
On Wednesday, there were reports that an “explosive device” had been found in a vehicle close to a venue where Trump would soon be holding a rally…
Police have reportedly discovered an “explosive device” in a car near President Trump’s rally venue in Uniondale, New York tonight.
According to Nassau County Police Department sources, “During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles and that driver ended up running into the woods.” Another source from the department confirmed this, investigative reporter James Lalino told The Gateway Pundit.
News of this “explosive device” quickly spread all over the Internet, but now authorities are claiming that it was just a false alarm…
A spokesperson for the Nassau County Police Department confirmed to DailyMail.com that ‘there was a suspicious occurrence’ on Wednesday ahead of Trump’s speech where thousands of MAGA fans are gathering.
But there is ‘no validity’ to a report that there was an ‘explosive device found.’
‘Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded,’ said Nassau County Commissioner of Police Patrick Ryder.
He went on to blame a suspect with a ‘self-trained bomb-detecting dog’ for sounding the alarm about explosives near the rally site.
Hopefully it really was just a false alarm.
At a recent Trump rally in Arizona, multiple people that were sitting on the stage behind Trump ended up with serious eye injuries…
It’s a mystery at a Donald Trump rally that left multiple people with eye injuries and few answers.
The News 4 Tucson Investigators spoke exclusively with six people who were seated on stage behind the former president during his rally in Tucson last week. Three of them agreed to on camera interviews.
One of the injured Trump supporters is a woman named Mayra Rodriguez.
It is being reported that on the Friday morning after the rally, “she was nearly blind”…
“The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the PA [Physicians Assistant] asked are you sure you didn’t get sprayed with something your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something,” she said.
The N4T Investigators spoke with her on Friday the morning after the event, she was nearly blind.
“I can’t see anything when I try to open my eyes. I see a bright light. It hurts, it hurts a lot to open my eyes. I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It’s horrible,” she explained.
How did this happen? Obviously whatever occurred affected multiple people on that stage. Was something sprayed toward the stage? Was this some sort of an attack on Trump? Needless to say, Trump has not reported any problems with his eyes.
Personally, I don’t know what to think. Hopefully we will get more answers in the days ahead. I think that it would be wise for Trump to play it safe and stop holding rallies, but he will never do that.
Trump knows that if he loses this election, he will be going to prison for the rest of his life. So I think that he is willing to put everything on the line in an all-out attempt to win this election. And right now most polls show that it is a very tight race.
Earlier today, I came across a new Gallup poll that shows that Donald Trump actually has a higher favorability rating than Kamala Harris does…
Nearly identical percentages of U.S. adults rate Donald Trump (46%) and Kamala Harris (44%) favorably in Gallup’s latest Sept. 3-15 poll, during which the candidates debated for the first time. Both candidates, however, have higher unfavorable than favorable ratings. Trump’s unfavorable rating is seven percentage points higher than his favorable score, and Harris’ is 10 points higher.
In less than 50 days, the wait will be over.
If Trump wins the election, tens of millions of Democrats that absolutely hate him will throw an absolutely massive temper tantrum.
We are talking about civil unrest in the streets on a scale that would be absolutely frightening.
Of course there will also be a tremendous amount of turmoil if Kamala Harris ends up winning.
I don’t see any way that this ends well, and that means that life in America is about to change forever.

Iran Hacked Trump Campaign, Turned Over Stolen Materials To Biden-Harris Campaign
Federal officials have said in recent months that Iran is specifically trying to stop Trump.
By Ryan Saavedra

Sep 18, 2024 DailyWire.com
•
The Islamic Republic of Iran hacked former President Donald Trump’s campaign and turned over the stolen materials to the Biden-Harris campaign, federal officials said in a statement.
Federal officials from ODNI, FBI, and CISA said in a joint statement that Iranian hackers sent the stolen materials to then-Biden-Harris campaign officials in June and July.
Information that the hackers sent to the then-Biden-Harris campaign “contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails.”
“This is further proof the Iranians are actively interfering in the election to help Kamala Harris and Joe Biden because they know President Trump will restore his tough sanctions and stand against their reign of terror,” said Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign National Press Secretary. “Kamala and Biden must come clean on whether they used the hacked material given to them by the Iranians to hurt President Trump. What did they know and when did they know it?”
Although President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race in mid-July after getting crushed by Trump during the presidential debate, many on his campaign were retained by Harris when the campaign was given to her.
The federal officials claimed that there was “currently no information indicating” Biden-Harris officials replied to the emails.
The statement claimed that Iran’s goal was to “stoke discord and undermine confidence in our electoral process,” which is contradicted in part by numerous statements that federal officials have made in recent months about how Iran is specifically trying to stop Trump.
The Harris campaign tried to distance itself from the Biden campaign and claimed that they were “among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation.”
National security officials have warned that Iran is trying to sabotage Trump’s campaign, Iran hacked Trump’s campaign and gave the information to news organizations, and Iran has attempted to assassinate Trump.

Bombshell Lab Findings: Covid Jab Spike Proteins Likely Accelerate Cancer, Neurological Disorders, Dementia, Crohn’s, Lyme and More
by S.D. Wells, Natural News
September 19, 2024
America First Report
(Natural News)—Back in February, U.S. Republican Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin held a roundtable discussion titled ‘Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?’. In attendance at that forum was an internal medicine specialist and medical doctor named Sabine Hazan, who conducts and supervises clinical trials for cutting-edge medical research, including that based on gastroenterology. Dr. Hazan investigates Big Pharma companies for corruption, a very daring and courageous effort to help the world realize how much fraud and insidious planning Western Medicine engages in, especially the Vaccine Industrial Complex.
Dr. Sabine Hazan discovered that Covid-19 mRNA gene therapy injections kill 90% of good gut flora called bifidobacteria, catapulting most major diseases and disorders
The key component that makes up 90% of our biological seat of immunity for fighting diseases is KILLED OFF by spike proteins from mRNA jabs that travel to the gut. Anyone who got Covid vaccinated could be catapulting cancer, IBS, autism, dementia and catching Covid or the next pandemic of Bird Flu, Monkeypox, or whatever other gain-of-function lab-made virus Big Pharma releases into the wild.
Gastroenterologist Dr. Sabine Hazan tested the microbiomes of doctors who volunteered to be tested BEFORE and AFTER getting Covid vaccinated with spike protein prion creating mRNA jabs and discovered that their most important gut bacteria were wiped out within 30 days to almost non-existent. What’s worse is that bifidobacteria remained decimated for 60 days, 90 days, even up to six months.
She then tested newborn babies, whose mothers were injected before their birth with Covid jabs, and the babies had ZERO bifidobacteria (good gut flora) microbes after 90 days and they stayed at zero nine months later. Let that sink in. These newborns have next-to-zero immunity during their first year of life due to the Covid vaccine.
Dr. Hazan had applied for grants and loans to do this research, but of course, no way was Big Pharma, the FDA or the CDC going to help her do this kind of research that exposes the vaccine industry and Covid jabs for what they really are – biological weapons of mass destruction and genocide.
We’re not just talking about autism caused by Covid jabs, but cancer, dementia, neurological disorders, severe allergic reaction and heart complications
The problem is compounded for people who contracted Covid, which means the virus and the mRNA jabs both destroy vital and beneficial gut bacteria. Dr. Hazan said, “I kept collecting stool samples of patients and noticed that patients with severe covid had a certain bacteria that was missing compared to people that were highly exposed to covid, but never got covid. That bacteria is called bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria is an important and key microbe for immunity. It represents your trillion-dollar industry of probiotics.”
Dr. Hazan also explained the mystery of why babies and young children were not catching Covid, and if they did, they were not at risk of getting a severe case of it or dying. She said that bifidobacteria is present in newborns, but it’s absent in elderly people as just part of the process of ageing. See where this is heading? Covid and the jabs are part of the population reduction agenda of the globalists who funded gain-of-function and instructed scientists to create “vaccines” that did further damage to the biological seat of immunity for all humans infected and/or injected.
It took Dr. Hazan eight months to publish this research paper entitled ‘The lost microbes of Covid-19’. She also wrote about how vitamin C increases bifidobacteria. In conclusion, the loss of bifidobacteria is a catapult for humans contracting, developing and suffering from a whole host of diseases and disorders, most of which would be prevented by simply boosting good gut bacteria with probiotics, eating clean healthy food, and avoiding the deadly Covid jabs at all costs.

Do We Have Another Instance Where the Secret Service Can't Get Its Story Right?
Matt Vespa
| September 18, 2024 9:30 PM
Former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated on September 15 while golfing in West Palm Beach. The former president’s trip to Trump International Golf Club was not planned, but would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh was waiting on the course, hiding in a shrubbery for 12 hours with a rifle and GoPro. A Secret Service agent scouring the perimeter saw the barrel through the foliage and opened fire—Routh fled but was later arrested by local police.
Yet, The New York Times is reporting that the Secret Service warned Trump about the additional security measures that would need to be undertaken if he were to play golf safely (via NYT):
The acting director of the Secret Service told former President Donald J. Trump that significant additional security arrangements and planning would be needed if he wanted to continue safely playing golf, according to three people with knowledge of their conversation.
The agency’s acting director, Ronald L. Rowe Jr., made the recommendation on Monday afternoon at a meeting with Mr. Trump in his office at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and home in Palm Beach, Fla.
The meeting came just 24 hours after a second apparent assassination attempt on Mr. Trump within just two months. Behind the scenes, tensions between the Trump campaign and the Secret Service had already been escalating.
Mr. Trump asked Mr. Rowe whether it was safe for him to keep playing golf, one of the people said. Mr. Rowe discussed the difficulties of securing sprawling golf courses near public roads and said some of Mr. Trump’s courses were easier to protect than others, one of the people said.
Okay, who are these sources? Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was caught in another lie again because he took a victory lap during this week’s presser, claiming the security plan they set for that golf outing worked. That’s a far cry from the ‘we warned him not to go’ narrative we have cooking up here, another attempt from the establishment press to blame the former president for this recent assassination attempt instead of Mr. Routh, who was 350-500 yards away from the former president.
Is someone lying here? Susan Crabtree has more:
‼️ Secret Service Told Trump No Golfing Until They Can Bolster Security
— Susan Crabtree (@susancrabtree) September 18, 2024

He emphasized all the Secret Service assets he'd been given, countersnipers, CAT,…
What did John Brennan Know?
About the assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and when did he know it?
September 19, 2024 by Lloyd Billingsley
In the wake of the second attempt on his life, Donald Trump flagged the “highly inflammatory language” Democrats have deployed against him, such as the charges of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that the former president is a threat to democracy and so forth. When it comes to inflammatory language and outright hatred, it’s hard to top former CIA director John Brennan, author of Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies at Home and Abroad. Note the order in the subtitle.
The CIA is tasked to counter foreign threats to the nation, but with Brennan, CIA boss from 2013-17, the enemies are at home and there is no greater threat than Donald Trump. Brennan “carried a mental catalog of the many unfavorable impressions of Mr. Trump I had accumulated over the previous decades” a man relying on “intimidation, untruths, ruthless litigation and bankruptcy laws.” For Brennan, “no individual came close to Trump’s dishonesty, unabashed self-aggrandizement, and demagogic rhetoric.”
After Trump trounced Republican opponents in the primaries “it was undeniable that he possessed a charisma that allowed him to repackage his political snake oil as a magical national exlixir.” Brennan was “shocked at his electoral college victory” but could not understand how so many voters could back him for president. Nothing here about the damage done to the nation by the composite character president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama. As his CIA boss sees it, the voters must have been tricked.
Brennan decides that “Vladimir Putin personally ordered the influence campaign to boost Donald Trump’s election prospects while discrediting Hillary Clinton so that her anticipated presidency would be crippled from the start.” Undaunted recycles the Russia hoax, but there’s more to Brennan’s hatred of Trump.
The former CIA boss, who describes Crossfire Hurricane as “an ongoing and very sensitive operation,” professes to know nothing about Andrew McCabe’s actions, but exploded with anger when Trump fired McCabe just short of retirement. Brennan told his wife that Trump is “evil, despicable, and vile” and posted a tweet proclaiming:
“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may destroy Andy McCabe but you will not destroy America. America will triumph over you.”
With Brennan it’s personal, but as Undaunted makes clear, it’s also about business. Like Obama, Brennan is an Islamist, regarding jihad as “a holy struggle in pursuit of a moral goal” and having nothing to do with violence and terrorist attacks.
President Trump, by contrast, not only called out “radical Islamic terrorism” but in 2019 took out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder and leader of ISIS, the most ruthless and violent terror organization anywhere in the world.” In early 2020, Trump took out Iran’s Qasem Soleimani, “the number-one terrorist anywhere in the world.” Neither terrorist is mentioned in Undaunted but Trump’s takedowns surely infuriated Brennan, who had an even bigger policy beef with the president.
Brennan says he will “always regard the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which reversed Iran’s determination to obtain nuclear weapons capabilities, to be one of the Obama Administration’s crowning achievements.” Like Obama, Brennan touts the deal as a “tremendous boon to Israel’s security.”
President Trump took the United States out of the Iran deal which, he contended, “failed to protect America’s national security interests” and “enriched the Iranian regime and enabled its malign behavior, while at best delaying its ability to pursue nuclear weapons and allowing it to preserve nuclear research and development.” That doubtless got to Brennan, enraged when Trump lifted his security clearance.
In 2020, when Undaunted was published, Brennan says “my top-secret code-word clearances remain intact. I still have a CIA badge that allows me to access CIA facilities.” That same year, Brennan was signatory to the letter proclaiming Hunter Biden’s laptop “Russian disinformation.” Undaunted doesn’t cover that operation but in other ways the author tips his hand.
In 1976, presidential candidates included Democrat Jimmy Carter, former Democrat and independent Eugene McCarthy, Libertarian Roger MacBride Ben Bubar of the Prohibition Party, Socialist Party USA candidate Frank Zeidler, and Lester Maddox of the American Independent Party. Brennan voted for Gus Hall of the Communist Party USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR.
The CIA never should have hired Brennan in the first place, but in 2013 the composite character president put him in charge. As it happens, Obama’s beloved “Frank” from Dreams from My Father was Frank Marshall Davis, the black Communist who dedicated his life to the USSR’s all-white Stalinist dictatorship. According to coincidence theory, these connections are pure happenstance and mean nothing.
Brennan denies he converted to Islam while posted in the Middle East, but he was angry with Sen. Arlen Specter for drinking a Pepsi during Ramadan in full sight of the Saudis. “I felt like throttling him right there,” Brennan says, “and might have if Prince Turki had not suddenly appeared at the entrance to personally greet the senator,” but it’s not just about Spector.
“I have found in recent years,” Brennan explains, “that increasing nationalism, nativism, isolationism, and xenophobia within too many segments of American society have made insensitivity such as Senator Spector’s all too prevalent, including at the highest levels of our government.” So the CIA man has a nasty temper and loathes the American people, not good traits for a director of the CIA, now deployed on the home front.
According to former CIA analyst John Gentry, author of Neutering the CIA: Why U.S. Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences, “some IC agencies that triggered the attacks on Trump remain intact, available for reactivation in the event of another serious candidacy by Trump or the election of another Republican president.” As Trump mounts a serious candidacy, Obama seeks a fourth term through Kamala Harris, Iran works three shifts to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons, and after 10/7 Israel is under relentless attack.
As the election approaches, mysterious gunmen have made two attempts to kill Donald Trump, the first nearly succeeding. John Brennan still retains his top-secret clearance, CIA badge, and CIA access. At first opportunity, Congress should put Brennan under oath and find out what he knew and when he knew it.

Is This Kamala’s Biggest Lie About Her Family Yet?
by Natural News
September 19, 2024
America First Report
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has falsely claimed that her grandfather was a freedom fighter in the Indian independence movement.
The Democratic presidential nominee shared on Sept. 8 a picture of herself in India with her maternal grandfather P.V. Gopalan. She described him as a “retired civil servant who had been part of the movement to win India’s independence.” Gopalan’s daughter Shyamala is the mother of the incumbent vice president.
Harris has previously described Gopalan, a Tamil from the elite Brahmin caste, as “one of the original independence fighters in India.” Gopalan purportedly was among the many who pushed back against British rule, which ended in 1946 shortly after the conclusion of World War II.
But news reports in India, quoting official records, have disproved the vice president’s claims. In one instance, the Times of India pointed out that Gopalan – born in 1911 – was a diligent civil servant. Harris’ uncle and Gopalan’s son G. Balachandran even told the outlet that he would have been fired if his father openly advocated ending British rule.
The U.S. vice president also received a strong rebuke on social media. The official X account of the Hindu People’s Party wrote that Gopalan worked in the British Imperial Secretariat Service in the 1930s, “a role off-limits to anyone tied to the struggle against British rule.” It added that “if anything, he aided colonial exploitation by serving the imperial bureaucracy.”
Defense analyst Abhijit Iyer-Mitra meanwhile decried Harris as a “liar” for parroting false claims about her grandfather. He continued: “How could a serving bureaucrat be part of the [Indian] independence movement opposing the same government and violating service rules?” […]

Secret Service Agents From Butler Rally Hire Lawyers—Including a Notorious Anti-trumper
by Headline USA
September 19, 2024
America First Report
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The New York Times published an investigation Wednesday into the Secret Service’s security failures at the deadly July 13 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania—revealing the identity of some agents, including two who have hired lawyers.
Much of the NYT investigation retreads the same information about Secret Service’s lack of planning ahead of the rally, as well as its lack of communication with local law enforcement. NYT also aired the opposing opinions about whether the Secret Service or local law enforcement was to blame for not securing the AGR building used as a perch by Trump shooter Thomas Crooks.
More interestingly, NYT revealed the name of the Secret Service’s lead counter-sniper at the rally, John Marciniak; the agency’s lead advance agent, Meredith Bank; and two site agents, Myosoty Perez and Dana DuBrey—the latter two who have hired lawyers.
DuBrey and Bank have been put on administrative duties along with the agency’s Pittsburgh boss, Timothy Burke.
FBI whistleblower Greg Roman told Headline USA that the Secret Service agents lawyering up is an indication that the agency may be looking to scapegoat them for the Butler failures.
“The Secret Service higher ups will gladly sacrifice a few of their own just to placate Congress and some in the media to put this thing to bed as soon as possible. At least one of the scalps will have to be a bit higher in rank/position, such as Burke … so it doesn’t appear lower level line agents get all the blame,” Roman said.
“This is shockingly great coffee.” – JD Rucker. Promised Grounds is a Christian company that’s giving back to the world, but even if they weren’t their coffee is good enough to make it you’re new morning grind.
“It’s smart for them to lawyer up while they’re on administrative leave. They obviously smell the stench of whatever is being cooked up against them. They’ve been isolated and virtually excommunicated and I doubt the Secret Service HR department is of any help to them whatsoever.” […]

Was Trump Attacked With an Infrared Laser, Sending 20+ People to the ER?
The weapon is compact and the light is invisible. Nobody would feel anything until later. Is there a better explanation for what happened?
JD Rucker
Sep 19, 2024
Tinfoil hat time. At an Arizona rally last week, around 20 attendees who were seated in bleachers behind and to the left of Donald Trump had to go to the emergency room after the event. Most complained of pain and swelling in their eyes and even partial blindness. According to the Arizona Globe:
While the rally drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, it ended with an unexpected turn of events. Approximately 20 attendees, primarily members of the “Latinos for Trump” group who had been onstage, reported becoming ill with mysterious symptoms shortly after the rally concluded. All those who reported falling ill were seated on the side of the stage where Trump made his entrance before approaching the podium.
Pastor Eli Moreno, who opened the rally with prayer, and his wife, Francesca Moreno, were among those affected. Pastor Moreno said that he experienced mild discomfort, but his wife’s symptoms were far more severe. On their drive home, Mrs. Moreno’s nose began to run, her vision blurred, and her face swelled up. They stopped at a Walgreens and encountered another rallygoer with similar symptoms. Mrs. Moreno stated that emergency room doctors flushed her eyes earlier and referred her to an ophthalmologist. Five days later, she was just beginning to feel better.
Mayra Rodriguez, another attendee, also fell ill 30 minutes after leaving the rally, experiencing burning eyes and a severe headache. By the time she arrived at the emergency room, she could no longer open her eyes. After performing a dye test, the doctor informed her that she had suffered a chemical burn. Days later, she continued suffering from blurry vision and light sensitivity.
Several other attendees shared similar stories with The Arizona Globe. The reported symptoms, including blurred vision, severe eye pain, and facial swelling, appeared roughly 30 minutes after the rally ended. One attendee used milk to ease the burning before heading to the hospital, while another reported his face turning red and peeling. They stated that the emergency room staff told them they were not alone—multiple patients from the rally had come in with the same complaints.
As of yesterday, Tuscan Police had not indicated they were investigating the possible crime.
After posting the story on The Liberty Daily and America First Report, I received an email from a reader:
My first take on the eye injuries at the latest Trump Rally is likelyhood of an infared (non-seeable) laser was aimed at Trump but injuring those behind him.
These injuries were common during the Gulf War (1992) when infrared targeting lasers swept the desert battlefield day and night. One cannot tell immediately when exposed but later when the eye inflammation starts.
The laser-eye injury threat was largely why desert soldiers wore protective eyewear day and night. At night the iris is more open and allows more eye damage.
See Military Aerospace.
I then looked into multiple sources regarding infrared laser weapons and it all jibed. IF someone was positioned in front of and to the right of Trump and IF they had some sort of device that emitted infrared lasers, it's possible that the people behind Trump would have been hit. The results would have been exactly what we're seeing reported... though not nearly reported enough since very few outside of The Gateway Pundit and a handful of others are touching the story.
Hopefully, that will change. I'll be discussing it at 1:30pm Pacific on the next episode of The JD Rucker Show.

Democrats Block Common Sense: Over 150 Democrats Vote Against Deporting Criminal Illegal Immigrants Convicted of Sexual Offenses
by Jim H?ft Sep. 18, 2024 9:00 pm
More than 150 House Democrats voted against a bill that would have deported illegal immigrants convicted of sexual offenses or conspiracy to commit such crimes.
With a vote tally of 266 to 158, the bill Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act saw every present Republican in favor, alongside 51 courageous Democrats who showed some sanity by crossing party lines to vote in favor of the bill.
The rest chose to prioritize their radical pro-immigration stance over protecting women and children from violent offenders.
The bill, H.R. 7909, which is sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace, seeks to make illegal aliens who have committed heinous acts, such as domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and sexual offenses, inadmissible and deportable from the United States.
According to the Congressional Budget Office:
H.R. 7909 would make an alien (a non-U.S. national) inadmissible to or deportable from the United States if that person admitted to or was convicted of sex offenses or other crimes involving domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse or neglect.
Under current law, spousal violence, sexual activity with a minor, and stalking are all deemed to be crimes involving moral turpitude; the admission of or conviction for such a crime makes an alien inadmissible.
Further, a conviction for domestic violence, stalking, or child abuse, child neglect, or child abandonment renders an alien deportable. T
herefore, CBO expects that only a few people would be deported based solely on enacting this bill. Enacting H.R. 7909 would reduce direct spending and spending subject to appropriation because aliens are eligible for certain federal benefits, such as emergency Medicaid, if they otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for those benefits.
Because few people would be affected by the bill, CBO estimates that those effects would not be significant in any year and over the 2024-2034 period.
Yet, Democrats like Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal from Washington could not resist painting the bill as “xenophobic,” absurdly accusing Republicans of “scapegoating immigrants” rather than addressing the very real issue of dangerous criminals slipping through the cracks of the immigration system, according to Fox News.
“I probably shouldn’t be too surprised. Scapegoating immigrants and attempting to weaponize the crime of domestic violence is appearing to be a time-honored tradition for Republicans.”
The tragic stories of Americans murdered or victimized by illegal immigrants should be enough to stir bipartisan action. Here are just a few of the harrowing cases that demonstrate why this bill was so necessary:
Laken Riley, a young woman in her prime, was brutally murdered in February 2024 by Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national who had entered the U.S. illegally.
Matthew Carney, a beloved restaurant owner in Nashville, was killed in a hit-and-run incident by Ulises Raigoz-Martinez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
Scott Miller, a 64-year-old grandfather, was mercilessly murdered by an illegal immigrant who had already been deported multiple times but managed to re-enter the country due to lax border enforcement.
Maria Gonzalez, a 12-year-old girl from Texas, suffered a tragic fate at the hands of Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez, an illegal immigrant.
A 15-year-old disabled girl at a migrant hotel in Massachusetts was raped by a Haitian migrant who came to the US on Biden’s parole program
The list goes on and on, with stories of families torn apart by individuals who should never have been in the United States in the first place.
The passing of H.R. 7909 was a victory for Republicans.

I’m a proud cosponsor of the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act and proudly voted YES to pass this bill.
This bill would deport illegal aliens convicted of a sexual offense or conspiracy to commit such a crime.

It is Your Economy .. yours, mine, our family, friends and neighbors -- EVERYONE to some degree is touched by the markets and their behavior. So we should be aware of the various mechanisms that make the markets and our economy tick. We live in a new era where politics, rumor, weather and just about anything you can think of effects the markets and our economy in some way, shape or form. Like it or not we are globally tied at the hip and in this new era where the advent of technology and the internet pushes information to the edge of the envelope, we can only hope to keep up with the many challenges ahead and the speed at which they develop. Technology is a double-edged sword and unfortunately can be used for good as well as evil, it just depends on who is holding the sword. This board was created to follow news, markets, stocks, cycles, trends, indicators and most of all to communicate and share ideas. Humor and Cartoons are welcome here, it breaks up the monotony from time to time and I am alays game for a good joke. I enjoy data mining, especially for info that the MSM (Main Stream Media) fail to or are not allowed to report. We must see things from all angles and aspects in order to verify what is true and what is false, basically becoming more atune to separating the wheat from the chaff. Hopefully in the long run this will help us all to make better and more sound decisions. This board is/was basically an information board, but all are welcome to post, (actually I encourage it because looking through another's eyes gives more perspective on issues). We can never learn too much about these ever changing times and the economy at hand.
* I have only a couple of rules and that is if you should post; NO PURE POLITICS or RELIGION and as always expected, please PLAY NICE !!!
>>>
>>>
NOTE: What is meant by "pure politics" as stated in this boards' iBox decriptiion is just that.., it has no real ties to the economy and is mainly a composition of political innuendo. As I assume most of you know, it is difficult at times to separate politics from the economy due to the fact that politics plays a very large part in our everyday lives; be it on an economical, personal or other level altogether. Therefore this has created problems in the discernment of which posts should stay or go due to their leaning too far toward the political side and are slight on economic issues. As hard as my assistants and I try, we cannot please everyone. But we do what we do and want to be fair, we do want what should stay as part of this forums curricular. Everyone has an opinion and/or wants to be heard and I will do whatever I can to help ensure that is what takes place and hopefully most will not feel as though they are being targeted or alienated.
In the end all I can ask is that you be patient if a post of yours has been deleted, yet it has economic undertones that state otherwise and you feel should remain. If you feel you have been wronged - relax, sit back and PM me and I will make a final judgement. I am rather liberal, therefore more times than not I most likely will restore your post if it has merit and/or fallen between the cracks. Things happen or are interpreted differently and sometimes incorrectly, we are human. So do NOT throw a hissy fit nor become a foul mouth fool. Also PM harassment is frowned upon and should carry a level of disciplinary action, but I will leave that up to iHub Admin. Besides all that life is too precious to spend in a tirade. These types of behavior will get you no where except a closer view of the exit.. Treat people as you would like to be treated and we can work through most issues. It all starts with civil dialogue, respect for another's opinion even if not agreed upon. An agreement to disagree is the way I like to see things conclude when minds cannot meld. Just because an agreement cannot be reached does not mean we automatically have to trash another for their views and/or opinions. Let's face it, we all want better, we all want to be part of something bigger than ourselves and we all want to gain an edge in the game of life. This cannot be accomplished without an open mind and a certain level of tolerance for all that speak out.
As a matter of fact I encourage as many of you as possible to post, even if it is just once a month. You don't have to take the world by storm, it could be about something as simple as a neighborhood observation such as more homes up for sale than in months past or how empty the parking lots are at a traditionally known hot spot. Post an article or commentary that hits close to home, test the waters and see if others have seen similar events around the country. We have at our fingertips virtually 100s of libraries of information and cyber chat connections we can use to find out how different aspects of the economy are doing all around the nation. I truly believe we all have a lot to contribute and share and while we all will never see eye to eye on every subject or then again maybe none at all, but different points of view may enhance our own outlook or the way we see and do things. Right or wrong, the world is constantly evolving and technology will begin to pick up speed by leaps and bounds So we could serve each other better if we take what is posted for face value instead of an opportunity to lambaste someone that sees things in a different light than our own preconditioned mindset. When opposing views are met with hostile impositions it is of no service to anyone. I certainly would not want a cult following or a bunch of "yes" men setting the tone for this forum, I want diversity !!! Variety is the spice of life !!! You cannot expand your horizons if you automatically shut down and feel as though you have it all figured out. I got news for you, you don't and you won't until you are lying on your death bed. I do not care who you are or how worldly and educated you may be, we never stop learning unless we hold ourselves back with preconceived notions. Knowledge IS Power...
AND if you should feel the need to post on an otherwise different, yet similar stage:
Your Economy OT - Conspiracy, Politics, Religion, Terrorism, War (whatever else you can think of) (YE2OT)
It's open and ready for business. Over there you can post whatever you like to your hearts content, especially political/economic articles and commentary that does not quite fit in at YE1. So now you have 2 boards - One for economics, markets, trends, data, news, commentary, etc. - a more serious site for those who want the straight dope. And now the YE2OT board for everything else. I will play Moderator, but I am taking applications for an assistant who would control 90%+ of the interaction over there.
If people choose, they can travel between boards if they need a fix of some controlled chaos at YE2OT and then want some cold hard facts as (YE1) was intended.
I want everyone to have a voice, now you have a choice .. enjoy
