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.

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?”

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.”
— Sept. 15 (4.1 million views)
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.”
— Sept. 17 (1.9 million views)
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:

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.

New Google tools, new leftist biases
By Noel S. Williams
Do we really need further confirmation that Google is riddled with leftist bias? Sure, especially when its newer applications are contradicting their professed purpose.
Google has some innovative tools, several of which are free — at least to try. Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, at least some of them (probably all if dependent on the same, or linked, data marts) are tainted by leftist bias. Today, I was in a resolute and resilient mood — sanguine enough, I thought, to delve into their leftist labyrinth known as DeepMind.
Within the deep, dark recesses of Google’s muddled “mind” are A.I. apps to create videos, images, and whatnot. Many are still under development, and they produced unreliable outputs on current events and subjects in the news. But they have a text tool, sporting the clever name “TextFX,” that is not reticent.
TextFX is described as “AI-powered tools for rappers, writers and wordsmiths,” so some here (at least the writers and wordsmiths, if not rappers) may be interested. But please be prepared: the outputs may confirm their overwhelming lefty bias, prompting an eagerness to quickly escape from the DeepMind maze. For example, the quick experiment I ran, described below, produced troubling results. Clearly, I will never experience “brain synchrony” with DeepMind.
Starting from the TextFX homepage:
For “tool” I chose POV (fifth icon from the left on this page). POV is supposed to “evaluate a topic through different points of view” (emphasis added). In my test, the points of view it offered were one-sided.
For “input” I chose “MAGA.” That seemed to throw DeepMind’s TextFX off-kilter, as it became quite wonky. After receiving several “Something went wrong. Please try again” responses, I ensured that the results were filtered only for “POV” versus the default setting of “all.”
Here are the outputs, which were similar for each of my several test runs:
MAGA
MAGA is basically the fashion trend that never went out of style, but instead just got progressively more embarrassing.
MAGA is the ultimate flex for people who think they're living in a dystopian future, but actually just haven't updated their Netflix queue.
MAGA is proof that nostalgia isn't always a good thing, especially when it's for a time period you weren't even alive for.
MAGA is the political equivalent of that one friend who keeps quoting outdated memes.
MAGA is like that one song you used to love, but now just makes you cringe every time you hear it.
MAGA is a reminder that sometimes, the loudest voices aren't always the smartest.
MAGA is the ultimate example of how a catchy slogan can mask a whole lot of problematic ideas.
MAGA is the political equivalent of wearing a shirt with your own face on it.
MAGA is the political equivalent of that one kid who still plays with action figures.
MAGA is a reminder that sometimes, the best way to move forward is to just acknowledge that you're stuck in the past.
MAGA is like that one aunt who always brings the same casserole to every family gathering.
MAGA is the political equivalent of a boomer trying to use TikTok.
MAGA is the ultimate proof that not everyone gets the internet.
MAGA is the political equivalent of that one friend who always tries to be the life of the party, but just ends up being the awkward one.
MAGA is the political equivalent of that one person who still uses flip phones.
It’s disconcerting that a ubiquitous tech company, upon which many Americans rely for personal and business use, believes that those TextFX POV outputs for “MAGA” represent “different points of view.” Actually, their POV perspective is decidedly one-sided, as corroborated by the following outputs from their “A.I. test kitchen”:
MAGA is a cult of personality.
MAGA is a movement based on fear and division.
MAGA is a political movement that represents white supremacy.
MAGA is a symptom of a larger problem in our society.
MAGA is a threat to democracy.
MAGA is code for white supremacy.
MAGA is just a cult of personality for Donald Trump.
MAGA is just a rebranding of the alt-right.
MAGA is the death knell of the Republican Party.
MAGA is the last gasp of a dying breed of white nationalism.
MAGA is the modern face of fascism.
MAGA is the new face of fascism.
MAGA is the reason why the United States is in decline.
MAGA supporters are just angry white people who feel like they're losing their country.
Certainly not much diversity there. For a truly different MAGA perspective, consider the video “Who really are the MAGA People?,” which is linked on Nicole Shanahan’s X account. As several contributors have highlighted in this AT forum, the video of true MAGA people is “impactful and emotional.” Contrasted to Google’s TextFX application, it is not “based on fear and division,” but is refreshing and uplifting.
To bolster the different viewpoints Google professes to offer, its algorithms should train, in part, on Shanahan’s movie, scraping the underlying script for their LLM.

Taking on the Anti-Semites
By Laureen Lipsky
Last week, I attended a Trump47 Women's Leadership Coalition event with Elise Stefanik in D.C. I was one of just several Jews in attendance, and what struck me profoundly was the fact that 'they didn't have to but did' -- Chairwoman Stefanik took the stage and was speaking on the economy, the border crisis, the importance of this upcoming election, and concerns more germane to her own district. However, it was when she spoke strongly against antisemitism on college campuses that it drew the high attention of everyone in attendance. Elise did not boast about the congressional hearings which she initiated, but rather emphasized that there is much work to be done -- that barely a fraction of schools that allow Jew hatred have been penalized.
She didn't have to do anything for Jews. Chairwoman Stefanik is not a Jew, nor does she represent a Jewish-populated district, not even close. When previously pressed on the reason for her highlighting campus antisemitism, her simple answer resonated with non-terrorist supporting Americans -- 'because it is the right thing to do.'
Contrast that with 'friend to the Jews' Rep. Ritchie Torres, who votes for addressing antisemitism, but who voted 'No' when Israel needed America most. The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 was put forth in the beginning of November of 2023, and because the aid was not tied to Ukraine -- two very different wars -- Torres, along with other Dems, voted against Israel. All 51 Democrat senators voted against a $14.3 billion stand-alone aid package for Israel when Israel needed it most.
Or Mayor Eric Adams in NYC, who like a robot keeps saying that 'he loves Israel.' Well, if that were the case, he would clamp down on the violent terrorist protests that have rocked NYC since the Jewish genocide. Can't forget Senator Cory Booker who loves to pander to his Jews, but then votes against Israel and has been near silent since Oct. 7th.
President Trump is also not a Jew. Sure, his son-in-law is a Jew, and his eldest daughter adopted the Judean faith, but he has many children and grandchildren who are not Jews. At times during President Trump's first term, it seemed as if he was a President of both America and Israel with his litany of pro-Israel policies, including defunding the terrorist groups (UNRWA, PA, Hamas -- Jihad Joe bankrolled all during his first year in office).
"Since 1950, U.S. taxpayers have sent over $6.3 billion through the United Nations to subsidize Palestinian refugees living in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. In 2016, the last year of the Obama Administration, the U.S. sent $359 million in Palestinian aid, only $39 million less than 2014’s all-time high of $398.7 million.
President Donald Trump cut the Palestinian aid to zero in 2018 – which had never been tried in the 71-year history of funding the region.
In April 2021, President Joe Biden agreed with the PLO, not Trump, and restarted aid to the Palestinians. Weeks later, rockets were again landing on Israelis and the region was at war."
President Trump also placed onerous sanctions on Iran, which left them near bankrupt, had the IRGC general Qasem Soleimani killed, recognized that the Golan Heights are legitimately part of Israel (thousands of Jewish artifacts have been found throughout the Golan since Israel reclaimed that land in the defensive Six Day War in 1967), and included Jews in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, thus granting Jews the right to pursue legal action against federal institutions which permit antisemitism, not on faith-grounds, but on ethnicity. Ethnicities have homelands, not faiths. Jews are an indigenous race to Israel, always have been since splitting from other Semitic tribes in Judea and Samaria.
The Abraham Accords, of course, was the zenith of President Trump's Middle East foreign policy. Though he was not involved in the decade of back-channel relations between Israel and the Arab nations, President Trump and his team got the Accords to the finish line.
He also encouraged PM Benjamin Netanyahu to apply sovereignty to Area C of Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu failed to do so.
The greatest test came with the moving of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and for that we truly must thank Ambassador David Friedman. On a recent podcast of Mislaibled, the host asked the former ambassador if he helped with the moving of the embassy, to which he replied that there was no one doing more for that to happen, and that he would mention it every day to the President. When the cabinet convened to meet about moving the embassy, all other cabinet heads were against it. Scared to do the right thing just like every other Administration since 1995 when Congress voted to pass the Jerusalem Embassy Act. President Trump, too, signed the waiver in June of 2017, but in December of 2017, the decision was made to honor the obligation of the 1995 bill. The Act did give the option of review every six months. Originally Clinton agreed that the moving of the embassy was needed, but he worked hard to attempt to stop Republican senator Robert Dole's bill.
And we all know how Clinton ended up harming Israel through the Oslo Accords, having Israel cede 2/3rds of its ancestral heartland to a terrorist organization, a 'peace accords' that has been responsible for the murder of thousands of Israelis (1200 Israeli citizens were murdered just during the Second Intifada (2000-2005).
Ambassador Friedman explained to President Trump that it was the right thing to do and that he should not fear rogue terrorist actors -- whether it be the Arab occupiers (falsely called 'Palestinians'), Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc. That by moving the embassy America would show the world that our nation stands by its allies.
President Trump listened and despite what the rest of his cabinet advised, chose to move the American embassy to Israel's actual capital.
He did not have to. Jews comprise barely a blip in the U.S. population. He did because just as with Chairwoman Stefanik, it was the right course of action.
Meanwhile all Kamala Harris can offer is redundant platitudes that Israel has the 'right to defend itself' -- of course it does. Every nation has that right.
She then moved on from stating the obvious to droning on about the antisemitic 'two-state solution' -- yes, let's give genocidal Arab occupiers who, inside Israel (in Judea and Samaria) engage in Pay for Slay payments (which now, thanks to Biden has the funds back in its coffers) to terrorists -- over 7% of the PA's budget, around $300 million per year goes towards paying families of terrorists who have murdered Jews. compared to barely $250 million which goes towards welfare programs. Additionally, the PA has been paying Hamas as well, with the two terrorist groups officially joining forces recently. Even on October 7th, there were numerous PA terrorists among the murderers.
Upwards of 550 Arab occupiers are employed in the Pay for Slay bureaucracy system. The longer the prison stay, the more the payout. Extra funding is provided to Israeli Arabs and those Arabs in Jerusalem who hold Israeli IDs.
And on the other side, we have Gaza (also part of Israel) where similarly the entire occupying population is still, not shockingly, supporting Hamas.
Hamas and the PLO/PA are all the same deadly disease

Teamsters Union Will Not Back a Presidential Candidate
A historic first.
by Kelli Ballard | Sep 19, 2024
For the first time in its history, the Teamsters Union chose not to endorse a presidential candidate this year, making Kamala Harris the first Democrat in more than two decades not to be backed by the organization.
Since 1996, the Teamsters have thrown their collective support behind Democratic presidential candidates such as Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and, most recently, Joe Biden. Former Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush were also backed by the Teamsters.
Before the current president dropped out of the 2024 election race, a union poll showed 44% of members supported him. A more recent poll, however, revealed that nearly 60% support former President Donald Trump, while just 31% support the vice president. Yet the organization decided not to endorse Trump. Why?
The organization’s press release states: “The union’s extensive member polling showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support among the membership for President Trump.” In fact, though the union members favored Biden over Trump between April and July, before the president’s exit from the race, the current numbers are vastly different. “But in independent electronic and phone polling from July-September, a majority of voting members twice [emphasis added] selected Trump for a possible Teamsters endorsement over Harris.”
As Liberty Nation News Chief Political Correspondent Graham Noble said, “It appears Kamala Harris needed 51% support from the members to get an endorsement and Trump needed 100%.”
So why are the Teamsters refusing to back a presidential candidate this year?
Teamsters Decline to Endorse
The title of the Teamsters’ press release reads: “International Union Cites Strong Political Divides, Few Commitments from Candidates.”
Roundtable meetings were held to discuss the policies and campaigns of the presidential candidates as they relate to the union. The Teamsters claim neither Harris nor Trump would promise not to interfere in union campaigns and wouldn’t commit to honoring their members’ right to strike. As an example, they highlighted feedback from members of the railroad and airline industries who work under the Railway Labor Act. “While 10,000 Teamsters at United Airlines are currently negotiating a new agreement, tens of thousands of railroad Teamsters were forced to accept a new contract implemented by Congress without member support in 2022,” according to the press release.
This year has seen a lot of firsts, including Harris being handed the Democratic Party presidential nomination without a single primary win – and now the Teamsters not endorsing either candidate for the White House. In another first, the union’s president, Sean O’Brien, was invited to speak at the Republican National Convention in July, where he vowed to work with Republican lawmakers. Conversely, the union boss was not invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention, which raised more than a few eyebrows.
“President Trump had the backbone to open the doors to this Republican convention, and that’s unprecedented. No other nominee in the race would’ve invited the Teamsters into this arena,” O’Brien said at the time.
David Marcus wrote an op-ed for Fox News after speaking to several union workers and found that most supported Trump over Harris. A retired Teamster who had voted for Biden told Marcus that he was supporting Trump now. “But you want facts? Let’s give grocery facts, let’s give electricity facts, let’s give gas facts, let’s give every fact between when he was elected and now.”
Marcus wrote, “If this huge tidal wave of Teamster votes to Trump is reflected in other unions such as the United Auto Workers Union, or service sector unions, and from the working people I’ve spoken to, I suspect it is, the electoral implications could be profound.”
Trump’s campaign was quick to bask in the win, even though the former president wasn’t endorsed. “President Trump fights for America’s working men and women,” the campaign said. His “agenda will bring tax relief and reverse the inflation that hurts working families the most.”
During a Fox News interview yesterday afternoon (Sept. 18), Trump said, “The Teamsters carry a lot of weight … [I]t was always automatic that the Democrats get the Teamsters, and they said we won’t endorse the Democrats this year, so that was an honor for me.”
The Teamsters’ decision not to endorse a presidential candidate sends a powerful message: the working class is no longer a guaranteed vote for any candidate. Furthermore, the fact that Harris needed just 51% of members’ support compared to Trump needing “universal” approval – because that’s what the Teamsters statement clearly implies – reveals a deep imbalance in the process. Choosing not to make a choice may turn out to be a stronger message than if they had actually made an endorsement.

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
