What kind of man could withstand the relentless barrage of attacks that have been leveled at former President Donald Trump?
President Trump
‘I’m prepared to use my gun to defend Trump. It’s the American way’
The war is coming, of that much Chris Quintanilla is sure.
As he queued for Donald Trump’s town hall rally in Flint, Michigan, on Tuesday night he pointed to his “Fight” T-shirt featuring the famous photo of a bloodied Trump raising his fist after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.
“Yes, we’ll see a war,” Quintanilla, a 26-year-old painter, said. “I hope not, but I think we will, and I’m going to fight for him because he’s my president … Trump is loved out here. The Dems hate him because they’re scared they’re going to lose, and they want him gone.”
It’s a Times piece that reeks of British classism.
The author likely sneers at anyone in GB who protests the Islamization of that scepter’d isle.
The Assassination Attempt and the Election
If you will permit me some license to be crass — a moment of bloodless dispassion utterly divorced from the response we expect from properly socialized adults — I’d like to dwell on what we’re all wondering but is still too gauche to ask in mixed company: How will the second attempt on Trump’s life matter?
The 2nd attempt combined with the media’s crass efforts to blame the victim will along with the rigged debate silently swing voters to Trump.
Kamala is reminding me of Hillary, all her so called widespread support is just media noise and Astro turf.
CBS went to multiple restaurants in Nevada — and only found one Kamala Harris supporter

Secret Service admits golf course wasn’t searched before Trump assassination attempt
Secret Service agents didn’t sweep the outskirts of Donald Trump’s Florida golf course where his alleged would-be assassin was hiding because the former president’s visit was an “off-the-record” plan, the embattled agency’s acting director admitted.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly set up a sniper’s nest on the edge of Trump International West Palm Beach and hid there undetected for nearly 12 hours before Trump, 78, teed off on Sunday afternoon, federal prosecutors said.
They want Trump dead.
The voice of pure evil.

Trump’s policies are far more popular than Harris’s, and it’s as simple as that
The choice gets easier every day.
President Trump’s common-sense policies are much more popular (and help people of all races and income levels) than Kamala Harris’s, the latter of whom believes that the government is the solution to everything.
Trump wants a smaller government, while Harris wants a much bigger government which greedily confiscates an ever-increasing share of the money we earn.
Republicans React to the Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump
After the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in nine weeks, Republicans reacted to the news.
Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), sounded wistful as he expressed his relief that Trump wasn’t hurt.
Will latest attempt to kill Donald Trump affect US election?
This is the second time Donald Trump has been targeted in an assassination attempt in the space of two months as the race for the White House enters its final stages.
The Trump campaign wasted little time in sending out an email to supporters on Sunday, asking backers for more money, but whether the latest incident leads to a change in his electoral chances remains doubtful.
Kamala Harris openly joked about assassinating President Trump in 2018 as an audience of lobotomized clapping seals cheered
And you’re wondering how we ended up here?

The Deadly Get Trump Climate Continues….
Just two months after the failed Trump assassination attempt of one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed today yet another foiled one by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict.…

That media ‘narrative’ about pets going uneaten by Haitian migrants in Ohio is starting to fall apart
Yes, they’re getting eaten.
ABC News debate moderator David Muir made a big deal of “fact-checking” President Trump when he cited reports at last night’s debate that pets were being eaten by Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, whose flooding 20,000-strong presence was creating many problems for the city of 58,000.
With Trump’s Sentencing Moved, Harris Loses a Much-Needed Inflection Point
A brief note in reaction to the important — but long predicted, by Andy McCarthy among others — news out of Manhattan: Judge Juan Merchan has moved the sentencing of Donald Trump in his state-level conviction, previously scheduled for September 18, to November 26, after the election (“if necessary” — Trump’s legal team has filed a motion to set aside the verdict altogether that the court must first rule on the week before this hearing). Trump’s fans can take solace, and even people who loathe the man should take the philosophical view and thank God that we avoided having a ten-ton political depth charge explode directly underneath America’s political hull again this election cycle. (To the Democrats, I can say only this: If you thought sentencing Trump to prison on charges most people believe to be entirely political would help you, you are wrong, and you misunderstand the suburbanite voters you thought it would shake off the fence. You did not want that to happen with a month and a half to go until Election Day, believe me.)
PolitiFact Hypocritically Labels Trump ‘Pants on Fire’ For Calling Harris a Communist
In 2020, PolitiFact gave Georgia Sen. David Perdue a “pants on fire” rating for claiming that rival Jon Ossoff was a socialist. Now, PolitiFact is at it again, giving Donald Trump a similar “pants on fire” on Wednesday for rating for labeling Kamala Harris a communist.
In the “if your time is short,” section, Amy Sherman summarizes, “Marxism refers to the school of thought inspired by Karl Marx’s analysis of capitalism. Communism is a political system of government or a party that abolishes private property.”
Judge delays Trump sentencing in hush money case until November
A New York judge has delayed former President Donald Trump’s sentencing on felony criminal charges until Nov. 26.
“This is not a decision this Court makes lightly but it is the decision which in this Court’s view, best advances the interests of justice,” Judge Juan Merchan wrote in the decision handed down Friday.

Does Trump’s Performance in Polls Suggest He Will Fare Better in November Than in 2020 — or Even 2016?
As I try to understand public opinion in yet another presidential election year with President Trump as the Republican nominee, I see an anomaly.
On one hand, the polls look very much like the 2020 and 2016 election results. Trump trails Vice President Harris by 1.9 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, for instance.
I don’t have the impression people want to vote for Harris, especially not just because she’s a brown skinned woman.
It is obvious that the Deep State machine that put a senile Biden in the White House is busy gluing a Potemkin Kamala together.
Trump: I’ll hire Elon Musk to make ‘drastic’ changes as US efficiency tsar
Donald Trump has said he will hire Elon Musk to save the US money by cutting government costs if he wins the November election.
Mr Musk, who runs Tesla and SpaceX, revealed in August that he had suggested the idea of a commission to Mr Trump and said that he would be interested in serving on it.
During a speech on Thursday to the New York Economic Club, Mr Trump said: “At the suggestion of Elon Musk… I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms.

Top pollster finds Trump gaining momentum against Harris – with 58% chance of winning 2024 race
Former President Donald Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 election have surged in the last month while Vice President Kamala Harris has struggled to find “a 2nd gear,” according to polling guru Nate Silver.
The data analyst and founder of FiveThirtyEight revealed Wednesday that his presidential race model now indicates that Trump has a 58.2% chance at winning the Electoral College in November compared to Harris’ 41.6% chance.
Nate Silver Drops Another Election Forecast, and the Left Should Be Nervous
According to the latest RealClearPolitics national average, Kamala Harris has a 1.8-point lead. Democrats are no doubt thrilled about this, but they really shouldn’t be. Harris is running way behind both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton at this point in the 2020 and 2016 elections.
