Duke: In a turnout election, this is the tale of two ground games

By Amber Duke | Commentary, The Spectator In the past two months, the Harris-Walz campaign has texted five times asking me to join its door-knocking efforts in Virginia. I am a young woman living in Northern Virginia, so I am statistically likely to be a Democrat. But a data file of reasonable quality would also tell you that I have voted in every Republican primary since 2012, that I am a weekly Mass-attending Catholic and that I am married: three signs that I am probably not going to spend my weekend pounding the pavement for Kamala. This is anecdotal evidence, but it suggests to me that contrary to mainstream media reports, the Harris-Walz campaign doesn’t have the most sophisticated ground-game operation.

Allen: Minors are the greatest victims of America’s border crisis

By Virginia Allen, Commentary | Daily Signal Lying among the 16 or 17 dead bodies, Tom Homan spotted the corpse of a little boy, only 5 years old. The child died inside a sweltering truck trailer in Victoria, Texas, while being smuggled into the U.S. in May 2003. These are the memories that today’s images from the border evoke in Homan, a father himself. Children are victims here, not only of America’s broken immigration system and wide-open border, but also of the ruthless cartels that see children—particularly unaccompanied children—as a resource to exploit. Homan was working for the newly formed Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the time that trailer was discovered. ICE is an agency he would later serve as the acting director of in the Trump admini...

Benson: Kamala Harris sidesteps free speech concerns while advocating for top-down control

By Guy Benson | Commentary, Townhall.com In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris lamented America's divisive politics, arguing that her desire to 'turn the page' is really about "closing the page" -- whatever that means -- on "an era that suggests Americans are divided."  It's true that Americans are divided.  Figures in both major political parties and across the political spectrum bear some responsibility for that reality, including both her and her opponent.  Part of the polarization and acrimony is stoked and fueled for cynical purposes.  But a lot of it is simply a reflection of profound differences on policies and values.  Voters have divergent views on what they want the country to look like, what sort of leaders t...

‘Stunning security failure’: U.S. agents miss Venezuelan gang tattoos in scan for refugee approvals

By  Stephen Dinan | Washington Times The Department of Homeland Security greenlighted refugee applications for Venezuelan gang members after immigration officers failed to spot their gang tattoos, The Washington Times has learned. Kevin Grigsby, head of refugee operations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said several members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang were approved and made it to the U.S. border before a different agency spotted the tattoos and blocked them from entering. Experts said tattoos are a standard indicator of gang membership and expressed shock that USCIS was missing those red flags. Concerns have been heightened about TDA, whose members have been linked to a series of high-profile crimes. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIME...

Migrant crisis cost $150B in 2023, forcing some areas to cut police and fire services: report

By Isabel Vincent | New York Post The eye-watering financial cost of the migrant crisis hit $150 billion last year and is causing devastating consequences for residents of hard-hit cities struggling to cope with the influx, The Post has learned. Of that figure, calculated by Washington DC-based non-profit Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), $67 billion came from the federal government, but the majority of the burden was shouldered by states and local governments.

Existing home sales fall to 14-year low as home affordability crisis squeezes American families

By John Carney | Breitbart Home sales fell to the lowest level in 14 years, as high home prices, inflation-depleted savings, still-elevated mortgage rates, and election uncertainty kept buyers on the sidelines Sales of existing homes—which make up most real estate transactions in the U.S.—fell by one percent to an annual rate of 3.84 million in September, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. Economists had forecast a stronger 3.9 million sales figure for the month. Sales fell by about 2.5 percent in the prior month. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Ex-girlfriend comes forward to accuse Doug Emhoff of domestic violence

By John Nolte | Breitbart An ex-girlfriend of America’s Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, has come forward to accuse the man who hopes to be history’s first First Gentleman of physically assaulting her in 2012. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the woman, who is remaining anonymous for obvious reasons (we’ve all seen what the corporate media and Democrats do to women whose accusations — no matter how credible — threaten the left’s hold on power), says she decided to come forward for two reasons. The first is that Emhoff, though a spokesman, denied he hit her. The second, per the Daily Mail, is that “his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became too much for her.” “What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the ...

New report reveals massive number of illegal immigrants benefiting from Biden-Harris admin’s ‘quiet amnesty’

By Adam Shaw | Fox News Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants are staying in the U.S. "indefinitely" after their cases were dismissed or closed, or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the necessary documentation, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report being released on Thursday. "Through administrative maneuvering at both the Justice Department and DHS, the Biden-Harris Administration has already ensured that nearly 1 million illegal aliens can remain in the United States without the possibility of deportation—and that trend shows no sign of stopping," the report by the House majority on the committee, first obtained by Fox News Digital, says. When illegal immigrants are encountered, they can be put into removal proceedings by which they w...

Poll aggregators show Trump leading in battleground states, up big in “no toss up” map projection

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice With a dozen days remaining until Election Day, the race for the White House between former President Donald Trump, a Republican, and Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, could not be closer, according to three poll aggregators. Harris holds a 0.2% edge in the national average at Real Clear Politics, but that is where the good news ends for her campaign. In the top battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, Trump is leading the polls and overall has a 0.9% lead in top battleground states, Real Clear Politics projects. Real Clear Politics presently gives Trump a four-point Electoral College edge, 219-215, with nine states placed into "toss up" category for an additional 104 Elect...
