WATCH: JD Vance Just Ended This Reporter’s Career

On the Sunday edition of ABC’s “This Week,” Senator JD Vance (R-OH), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, addressed host Martha Raddatz’s critique of former President Donald Trump’s comments regarding the Biden-Harris immigration policy. Trump had linked this policy to the emergence of a Venezuelan gang issue in Aurora, Colorado.

Vance challenged Raddatz’s criticism of Trump, pointing out her acknowledgment that Venezuelan gangs had taken control of apartment complexes.

Top Democrat ARRESTED After Targeting Trump Supporters

A Democratic candidate for the North Carolina House was apprehended and faced charges after being observed taking down campaign signs belonging to former President Donald Trump. Lowell Simon, the chair of the Democratic Party in Moore County, confessed to having “removed” the Trump signs on Thursday evening and recognized that he “shouldn’t have done that,” as reported by WRAL News.

“My worse angels got the better of me and I removed the signs,” Simon admitted in a statement. “I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t do it in the stealth of night or anything. I did it when it was five o’clock in the afternoon.”

The Moore County Sheriff’s Office stated in a Facebook post that a deputy, while attending to an unrelated matter, observed Simon taking down campaign signs from a neighborhood and subsequently proceeded to Simon’s residence for further inquiry:

“On Octobber 10, 2024, at approximately 5:25 p.m., a sheriff’s deputy working in the West End area observed Lowell Simon removing campaign signs from the roadside along Seven Lakes Drive. The deputy, who was responding to an unrelated call at the time, later followed up at Simon’s residence, where the signs were found in his vehicle. Simon admitted to removing the signs, which were then recovered and returned to their originial owner.”

Kamala’s Campaign Officially Enter Panic Mode…

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is expressing concerns that her $1 billion fundraising total may fall short in securing victory in the forthcoming November election, as reported by The Washington Post on Wednesday. Campaign officials are apprehensive that the substantial funds raised in under 80 days since the campaign’s inception may not be sufficient to sway key swing states that are currently within the polling margin of error, according to sources familiar with Harris’ campaign strategy. Although the campaign has significantly outspent former President Donald Trump, there appears to be a growing momentum for Republicans in these critical swing states amidst a tightly contested race.

“Talking about this type of big money doesn’t convey the sense of urgency to do every single thing in all of the big and small ways,” one person involved told The Washington Post. “We are in the margin of error. This will come down to grinding it out.”

Harris experienced a remarkable influx of $126 million within just three days following President Joe Biden’s suspension of his campaign in July, as reported by The Washington Post. Furthermore, the campaign, along with affiliated groups, amassed $361 million in August. Nevertheless, the polling results indicate a highly competitive race between the two candidates.

Polling data from Pennsylvania reveals Trump leading by a mere 0.3 points, according to averages from RealClearPolitics (RCP). In Georgia, Trump holds a slight advantage with a 0.8-point lead in the RCP average. Similarly, Michigan shows a slight tilt towards Trump, with a 0.7-point lead, despite Biden having won the state in 2020 by just under 3 points, based on official results.

Groups aligned with Harris have invested more than double the amount in advertising compared to those aligned with Trump from the Democratic National Convention through October 4, as noted by The Washington Post. Sources indicate that this advertising expenditure is viewed not as a luxury but as a critical necessity to secure victory over Trump in November.

The economy continues to be the foremost concern among voters, with the highest percentage of individuals categorizing it as “extremely important” since October 2008, during the Great Recession, according to Gallup polling released on Wednesday. Trump is perceived as more trustworthy on economic matters, with a trust rating of 54% compared to Harris’ 45%. Additionally, it has been noted that not since 1992 have more Americans identified as Republicans than Democrats in Gallup surveys conducted in the third quarter prior to the election, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

“There have never been so many electoral college votes in play so late in the cycle, which means that our strong fundraising and volunteer enthusiasm are not guaranteed to be enough to fully reach voters everywhere they are,” another source told The Washington Post.

Joe Biden Just Admitted The UNTHINKABLE

The Biden-Harris administration acknowledged in early October that Iran has experienced an increase in enrichment as a result of its policies and governance.

Iran is recognized as the foremost state sponsor of terrorism globally, supporting various terrorist organizations across the Middle East that have targeted U.S. and Israeli forces since the Hamas assault on Israel on October 7, 2023, including groups such as Hezbollah and the Houthis. In recent years, the Biden-Harris administration appears to have relaxed sanctions on Iran, enabling the Islamic regime to accumulate billions in oil revenue. A recent report from the administration, released in October, details the extent of the regime’s financial gains.

During the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” sanctions strategy, Iran’s oil revenues plummeted from approximately $65 billion in 2018 to $28 billion in 2019, and further declined to $16 billion in 2020, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, following President Joe Biden’s inauguration, Iranian oil revenues saw a significant increase, reaching $37 billion in 2021, $54 billion in 2022, and $53 billion in 2023.

Iran’s oil sector stands as a significant source of revenue for the nation, and the current regime has experienced greater financial benefits under the Biden administration compared to the Trump administration. While the Biden-Harris administration has not publicly relaxed sanctions, it has not enforced them as rigorously as its predecessor, enabling Tehran to accumulate substantial financial resources. The rationale behind this approach remains somewhat ambiguous, although the administration has been attempting for years to re-engage Iran in a nuclear agreement—a multilateral accord established during the Obama administration that permitted sanctions relief for Iran, contingent upon its commitment to refrain from advancing its nuclear program. In 2018, Trump withdrew from this agreement, expressing concerns that Tehran was generating significant revenue while continuing to develop its nuclear capabilities in violation of the agreement’s stipulations.

Iran plays a crucial role in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of lives and has involved other Western nations, including the United States. Following the Islamic regime’s launch of approximately 180 missiles into Israeli territory on October 1, Israel is anticipated to initiate retaliatory actions against Iran.

Breaking: Joe Biden Details Kamala’s Entire Campaign

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) possesses President Joe Biden’s personal phone number, as stated by the president during a press briefing on Tuesday, coinciding with the approach of Hurricane Milton towards Florida’s west coast. Biden’s remarks seemed to undermine Vice President Kamala Harris’s efforts to project a presidential image to the electorate.

On the same day, an unnamed aide to DeSantis informed the media that the governor had declined a call from Harris regarding the storm, suggesting that he believed her outreach was motivated by political interests. However, DeSantis refuted the claim that Harris had attempted to contact him.

NBC News reported on DeSantis’s rebuttal. “I was unaware that she had called. I’m not certain who they reached out to. They did not contact me. Their interpretation of the situation is something they created. It was not a matter that anyone in my office addressed, in terms of labeling it as political,” he remarked to reporters during a press conference on Monday. In response, Harris criticized DeSantis for allegedly engaging in political maneuvering, although she provided no supporting evidence for her claims.

There are circulating rumors in Washington suggesting a strained relationship between First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Unverified reports claim that Jill Biden is attempting to undermine Harris’s campaign, with President Joe Biden being portrayed as an unwitting accomplice in this alleged effort.

It has been reported that Jill Biden and Harris have experienced discord for several years, stemming from Harris’s criticism of Biden during the 2019 Democratic primary debate, where she implied that he held racist views due to his support for specific school busing policies.

Harris finds herself in a paradoxical situation: she is unable to advocate for policies aimed at addressing crime, inflation, and border security without compromising the existing policies of the Biden-Harris administration. However, she is also required to promote these administration policies to substantiate her own record and candidacy.

Watch: Anti-Trump Journalist Gets Fact Checked On LIVE TV

CNN anchor Dana Bash addressed an assertion made by the network’s chief national affairs correspondent, Jeff Zeleny, on Monday, who claimed that former President Donald Trump has exclusively engaged in “friendly interviews” since September 2023.

In response to concerns within her party regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s limited media presence, she is set to embark on a series of media engagements featuring friendly interviews. During the segment of “Inside Politics with Dana Bash,” Zeleny remarked on the perceived hypocrisy of Republicans criticizing Harris for participating in “softball interviews,” given Trump’s similar interview strategy. However, Bash pointed out that the former president had encountered a difficult interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in July.

“The criticism from the right about, ‘Oh, these are all softball things,’ my recollection is the last difficult interview that former President Trump has done was on ‘Meet the Press’ with Kristen Welker [in September 2023] … I mean, it has been a series of friendly interviews on Fox and other places,” Zeleny said. “He declined ’60 Minutes.’”

“Well, he did NABJ,” Bash responded.

Americans OUTRAGED After Kamala Harris Makes The Announcement

The United States has declared its intention to allocate $157 million in humanitarian assistance to tackle the ongoing crisis in Lebanon and support those impacted by it.

In a statement issued on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the nearly $157 million in humanitarian aid would be directed towards meeting both new and existing needs of internally displaced individuals and refugee populations within Lebanese communities.

The statement issued by Blinken coincides with Israel’s ongoing military operations against Hezbollah militants situated in Lebanon.

Americans FURIOUS After Biden’s Numbers Finally Released

Over 800,000 fewer native-born Americans are currently employed compared to the previous year, as job growth for this demographic continues to fall short of that of foreign-born workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Data from the BLS indicates that the number of employed foreign-born workers rose by approximately 1.2 million year-over-year in September, while there was a decrease of 825,000 in the employment of native workers. This significant annual disparity persists despite a notable increase of around 920,000 in employment for native-born workers in September compared to August, following a decline of 1,325,000 from July to August.

Overall job growth in September was stronger than anticipated, with the U.S. economy adding 254,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, surpassing economists’ expectations of 150,000.

“Today, we received good news for American workers and families,” the Biden-Harris administration wrote in a press release Friday following the publication of the September jobs report. “With today’s report, we’ve created 16 million jobs, unemployment remains low, and wages are growing faster than prices.”

Real wages have experienced a decline of 1.3% in real terms from the first quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2024, as inflation during the Biden administration continues to impact American consumers. Since President Biden assumed office in January 2021, prices have surged by over 20%, with inflation escalating from 1.4% at the end of former President Donald Trump’s term to approximately 9% in June 2022.

In response to the soaring inflation, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.50% in July 2023, marking the highest level in 23 years, before maintaining these rates until implementing a 0.5% reduction in September. The combination of high interest rates and persistent inflation has led many Americans to face financial distress, with delinquent credit card balances reaching their highest point since at least 2012 in the first quarter of 2024.

Trump Campaign Makes HUGE Announcement… Amazing

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has announced a fundraising total exceeding $160 million for the month of September, as the November 2024 presidential election approaches.

This significant financial support is attributed to the collaborative efforts of Trump’s official campaign, joint fundraising committees, and the Republican National Committee, as reported by Politico. Approximately 96% of the donations were under $200, with the average contribution for the month estimated at around $60, bringing the campaign’s total funds to $283 million as it prepares for the final phase of the election.

“President Trump continues to inspire millions of everyday Americans to join his America First movement and help fuel the campaign with their hard-earned money. In September, nearly 2.5 million donations under $200 were made,” Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes said.

Donations in September have seen a slight increase compared to the previous month, with Trump’s campaign announcing on September 4 that it had garnered approximately $130 million in contributions during August. This figure is marginally lower than the $140 million raised in July, which followed an assassination attempt on July 13. In contrast, competing candidate Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly raised $361 million in August, according to Politico.

The coalition Republican Voters Against Trump, which opposes Trump’s candidacy, has also raised over $35 million to support Harris in the upcoming November election. Led by conservative strategist Sarah Longwell and featuring prominent figures such as Bill Kristol and Tim Miller, the group has initiated an $11 million advertising campaign in key battleground states, including Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, with an overall fundraising target of $50 million.

Furthermore, Trump’s current fundraising efforts are not on par with those of his 2020 campaign, as noted by Politico. During the 2020 election cycle, his campaign, in collaboration with the Republican National Committee, raised $247.8 million in September alone.

Top Biden Ally CAUGHT Red-Handed

A former high-ranking official at the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) has allegedly breached federal ethics regulations by improperly maintaining investments in prominent oil corporations Exxon Mobil and Chevron, as indicated in a report released by the agency’s Office of Inspector General on Tuesday.

Tommy Beaudreau, who held the position of deputy secretary at the DOI under President Joe Biden until his resignation in 2023 amid pressure from environmental advocates, reportedly neglected to oversee his investments in these major oil firms, resulting in an unintentional conflict of interest, according to the report. It reveals that Beaudreau’s financial advisor executed unauthorized transactions involving ExxonMobil and Chevron stock in June 2022, of which Beaudreau was unaware until a year later.

Notwithstanding his financial interests in these companies, Beaudreau is said to have participated in a regulatory meeting on June 14, 2023, that impacted both Exxon and Chevron. This meeting focused on new safety regulations for oil and gas well operations in the Gulf of Mexico, a measure taken in response to the Deepwater Horizon incident. Beaudreau informed agency ethics officials that he did not advocate for any modifications to the rule during this meeting.

At the time of the stock purchases, the value of the Exxon shares was approximately $4,920, while the Chevron shares were valued at around $4,880, as noted in the report.

“Beaudreau was prohibited from owning these investments in any amount without a waiver from the DAEO [Designated Agency Ethics Official]. Beaudreau told us that he did not authorize Portfolio Manager to make these purchases, and we found no evidence that he did so,” the report said.

Beaudreau identified unauthorized stock transactions in his investment account on June 11, 2023, which included shares of ExxonMobil and Chevron, while preparing his annual public financial disclosure, as indicated in the report. Subsequently, he directed his portfolio manager to reverse these transactions and notified the Designated Agency Ethics Official (DAEO) on June 13, 2023. This action resulted in an extension of the disclosure filing deadline to July 13, 2023. The third-party brokerage firm responsible for the stock purchases later liquidated 39 shares on June 15, 2023, which included the unauthorized acquisitions of ExxonMobil and Chevron for Beaudreau’s joint investment account, according to the report. These shares, which were held from June 22, 2022, until June 15, 2023, were classified as a “trade error” by the firm, thereby removing them from Beaudreau’s portfolio effective June 16, 2023.

“We concluded that Beaudreau failed to monitor purchases made by Portfolio Manager or recuse from the particular matter in which he held a financial interest as required by his Ethics Agreement and Certification of Ethics Agreement Compliance,” the Office of Inspector General said. “We concluded that Beaudreau violated 18 U.S.C. 208 when he participated in the Well Control Rule meeting on June 14, 2023.”
