The Los Angeles Times. Washington Post, and USA Today have declined to endorse Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
The unexpected move has sent shockwaves throughout the left-leaning institutions, and former First Lady Michelle Obama addressed the first two snubs at a rally, stating, “I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn.”
“We pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that [Trump] doesn’t even have the courage to do,” she continued.
Meanwhile In Kalamazoo, Michigan🔥
Michelle Obama shows her disgust with voters who finally awoken and seen the truth!

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance has warned that rural hospitals are closing down as they buckle under the exploding cost of caring for illegal migrants who cannot afford medical bills.
Vance recently spoke about the pressures hospitals are facing, and he was asked about the closure of several hospitals and clinics in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Vance said that rural hospitals are shutting down because they are “bearing the burden of providing health care to millions of people who shouldn’t be in this country to begin with.”
“Now you might not think that rural health care access is an immigration issue,” he said. “I guarantee it is an immigration issue because we’re bankrupting, bankrupting a lot of hospitals by forcing these hospitals to provide care for people who don’t have the legal right to be in our country,” the Ohio senator added.
“We’ve got to stop that, kick these illegal aliens out, focus on American citizens, and we will do a lot to make the business of rural health care much more affordable,” he said. All of this is due to Harris “open borders” policies.
The issue was s clearly highlighted in Florida when the state legislature put Senate Bill 1718 into effect, requiring hospitals to report the amount of unpaid services they deliver to illegal aliens.
The legislation quickly exposed how much Florida’s hospitals are losing by treating migrants who cannot pay their bills. Breitbart reported: With SB 1718 recording the costs to the Sunshine State in real-time, it is clear that the costs of caring for indigent illegal aliens are quickly adding up.
Via the state’s reporting website, MyFlorida.com, here are a few:
Broward County has lost $43,056,022 by that time toward the unpaid medical expenses for illegal aliens.
Duval had suffered a loss of $31,439, 143
Hillsborough’s loss was at $58,822,134
Orange stood at $58,328,521
Miami-Dade had lost a whopping $231,804,144
The estimated costs to care for illegal aliens totaled more than $566 million just by April, according to the reporting website.
A staffer working for the campaigns of two Ohio Democrats, Senator Sherrod Brown, and Congresswoman Emilia Sykes, was recorded making controversial remarks on immigration, sparking backlash from Republicans and conservative groups.
In a video first reported by Ohio.news, the staffer, identified as Kevin Oyakawa, called for open borders and referred to those advocating for stricter immigration policies as “racist.”
“Open the f—ing border, I don’t give a s— who comes in here,” Oyakawa reportedly stated in a conversation with a volunteer earlier this month.
He went on to argue that discussing immigration reform is a “losing issue” for Democrats in Ohio solely due to “people’s pure racism.”
Watch:
BREAKING: Dem staffer Kevin Oyakawa, who works for Sen. Sherrod Brown and Rep. Emilia Sykes, accused Ohioans of "pure racism" over border security stance.
In a tirade, he demanded open borders, saying, "Open the f**king border, I don't give a sh*t who comes in here."… pic.twitter.com/9jRluat7GK
According to Oyakawa’s since-deleted LinkedIn profile, he was serving as a regional organizing director with the Ohio Democratic Party, supporting Brown’s and Sykes’ campaigns in Summit and Stark counties.
A study published by WalletHub compared U.S. states to see which had the most power in the up-coming 2024 election. The results may surprise you.
There's a real shot Trump may get his great white whale: winning the popular vote. Polls show the race nationally is basically even as Trump runs far ahead of where he polled in 2016 or 2020.
He'd be the 1st Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years & only 2nd in 36 years. pic.twitter.com/Pp4LJPwUZe
“No matter where you live, you should vote in the upcoming election, as it’s your civic duty and gives you a chance to have a say in our political system. At the same time, it’s evident that not all votes hold the same weight. The top five states where residents’ votes will have the biggest impact in the 2024 election are all fiercely-contested battleground states: Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. If you live in one of these states, you could quite literally have the fate of the election in your hands,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.
The study deserves some criticism for not including Pennsylvania. As statistician Nate Silver points out, Trump’s odds of winning the White House are 96% if he wins Pennsylvania.
To uncover these results, WalletHub created a formula known as the Voter Power Score (VPS). Calculations were based on the Presidential Election VPS: [(Win Probability Score x Number of Electors) / Total Population Aged 18 & Older] x 1,000,000; and the Senate Election VPS: [(Win Probability Score x Number of Senators) / Total Population Aged 18 & Older] x 1,000,000. This means pretty much nothing to us either. Apparently the metrics included the “win probabilities” calculated by YouGov. Math was applied, and the results were revealed. You can read the full methodology here.
Wyoming, West Virginia, Washington D.C., Oklahoma, and North Dakota ranked as the least powerful voters by state in the presidential elections. For the senate elections, voters in California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania ranked as least powerful. But according to WalletHub’s methodology, a score of 0 simply denotes “states with zero chance of one party determining the election.”
With just days until Election Day, a recent Media Research Center (MRC) analysis reveals that the 2024 presidential race coverage from mainstream media has skewed more dramatically than ever.
Major networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—have showered Vice President Kamala Harris with 78% positive coverage, while former President Donald Trump faced a staggering 85% negative coverage since July, as reported by News Busters.
The data shows a stark divide, greater even than in 2016 when both Trump and Hillary Clinton experienced mostly negative reporting, and bigger than in 2020, when then-candidate Joe Biden saw 66% positive coverage compared to Trump’s 92% negative press.
From July through October, Trump was subjected to over 230 minutes of airtime filled with personal scandals, while Harris received notably lighter treatment.
MRC analyzed 660 campaign stories aired across these networks since President Biden stepped down on July 21, finding Harris received positive “vibes” largely shaped by enthusiastic voter quotes, while Trump faced near-uniform criticism directly from network reporters.
Although Harris initially received around 350 minutes of coverage, since mid-September, Trump has faced nearly double the airtime—398 minutes for him compared to 230 minutes for Harris—heavily negative.
When it comes to Trump, the networks dedicated 230 minutes to personal controversies, including Trump’s January 6 claims and his critiques of the Biden administration.
Coverage of Trump remained 97-100% negative on topics ranging from hurricane responses to comments about immigration, often casting him as a “danger to democracy” while Harris’s controversies saw little attention.
On policies, coverage was more evenly negative for both candidates. Trump’s policies received 63% negative coverage compared to Harris’s 54%.
As for social issues, abortion and reproductive rights were covered favorably for Harris, with 73% positive coverage, while Trump’s stance saw a resounding 92% negative slant.
A United States Postal Service worker has been arrested and charged with disposing of more than 1,000 pieces of election mail, including ballots and political campaign mailers.
USPS employee Ottis McCoy, stationed in Orlando, Florida, was charged with discarding more than 1,000 pieces of mail instead of delivering them to their addresses,
McCoy is charged with stealing, taking, or abstracting mail and faces a fine of up to $250,000 and a maximum of five years in prison.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service inspector Charles Johnsten observed surveillance footage showing McCoy “throwing large quantities of U.S. Mail into [a] wooded lot,” according to a criminal complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
McCoy raised suspicion after a fellow employee helped him load a van with a large quantity of mail, only for him to return earlier than expected.
URGENT UPDATE: Federal authorities have apprehended Ottis McCoy, a USPS mail carrier, on charges of improperly disposing of more than 1,000 mail items. Among the discarded materials were political mailings and a critical election ballot. The investigation disclosed that McCoy… pic.twitter.com/zLhh08HQRm
After checking the van’s tracking device, it was later confirmed that McCoy had deviated from his route.
The discarded mail was later dumped in a wooded area of Orlando located not far from McCoy’s route.
Prosecutors said that footage from a nearby doorbell camera captured McCoy dumping the mail.
“Inspectors collected the U.S. Mail and discovered more than 1000 pieces of U.S. Mail, including more than 400 pieces of political mail and one election ballot,” Johnston wrote in an affidavit, which accompanied photos of the discarded mail.
The affidavit included a photo of at least one absentee ballot, as investigators recovered more than 400 pieces of political mail.
Federal authorities are still investigating the matter and could be filing additional charges against McCoy.
The news comes just weeks after another postal worker was accused of dumping large quantities of mail rather than delivering them to their addresses.
DuJuan Butler was hit with federal charges of unlawfully detaining and delaying mail.
It’s hard to say whether the fever of “gender ideology” may finally be breaking. Ever since Time Magazine declared in 2014 on its cover that America is reaching a “Transgender tipping point,” Americans have been bombarded with gender ideology. It seems there may be some cracks forming in this lunatic consensus, but if so, it’s going to take a while for the left to abandon the ideas. More on this below.
But what is “gender ideology?” It is a constellation of ideas about sex, sexuality, humans, and “identities”, including:
The belief that biological sex is not real, but an arbitrary “choice.” No, it does not make sense, but yes, people do claim this.
The belief that every person has a “gender identity,” and that “gender identity” is completely separate from their actual sexed body. For example, a man will be said to have a “female” “gender identity.” That means that he asserts that he believes he is a woman despite the factual reality.
That a person’s “gender identity” controls whether they are male or female, with no regard to the person’s actual anatomy.
Worst, the belief that children who do not conform to sex-role expectations (e.g., “boys play rough” and “girls like pretty things”) are born in the wrong body. Therefore, a little boy who likes sparkly princess stories is “really” a girl, and he should be chemically castrated and perhaps surgically, too.
You can see what major medical institutions like the Cleveland Clinic say about “gender identity,” but be warned that allegedly scientific medical organizations are all completely captured by these magical beliefs.
Until very recently, it has been socially forbidden to observe the obvious: a person who believes they were born in the wrong body and is actually the opposite sex has mental difficulties. Refusing to call men who claim to be women “she” has resulted in countless people being fired from their jobs and called bigots, and worse.
But conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has never been afraid to speak the truth. He walked right into the lion’s den recently, participating in a Youtube show called “Surrounded.” The conceit is that a speaker sits in the middle of a room surrounded by a circle of people who get a few minutes each to debate him on issues.
That’s when this happened.
The person on the right is not a man. She very much wants you to believe she is. She’s angry that Ben Shapiro won’t tell her that she’s a man. (It’s not clear from the video what her name is). But in reality, she is a woman on testosterone who has been “living as a man.” The picture above? That’s her swaggering over and turning the chair around to plunk down in a “manly” way (note the “manspread” sitting posture).
In this short clip below, Shapiro and “Barb” debate the idea that someone can change their sex. Barb acts like a caricature of a macho bro-dude, hamming up the “masculine” mannerisms and speaking to Shapiro in a tone that sounds like she wants a fist fight.
Conservative Ben Shapiro handles a liberal tr*ns man (a woman) like a boss after she tells him “I’ve got a v*gina.” Ben: “I’m not interested in what your g*nitalia are.”
“I’m sick and tired of the s—t you have put against my community. Specifically, black tr*ns women.”
Barb: So, I’m a transgender man, I’ve experienced SA (sexual abuse), and abortion rights affect me directly. So, if we’re talking about the American dream you live, why don’t I have access to that? Because there’s no legislation in the history of America that legislates a man’s body, so why does mine have to be legislated? I have a vagina.”
No, there isn’t more context that makes the above suddenly make sense. Here’s the whole clip.
Barb wasn’t the only debate opponent who seemed, to put it generously, naïve. Here’s Ben speaking with a woman who asks, “Why does the definition of abortion have to include the death of a fetus?” Looking momentarily confused, Ben shoots back, “Because that’s literally the definition of ‘abortion’.”
You won’t be surprised to learn that his opponent does not agree.

According to the National Association of Realtors’ Housing Affordability Index, just three years ago, a homebuyer could afford a median-priced home on a $58,000 income. To afford the median home today, a household needs to earn $108,000, about 46% more.
But has the surge of immigration of the Biden-Harris administration affected housing affordability? According to economist Amy Nixon, a Dallas housing analyst, the supply and demand considerations are cut and dried.
Guys, this isn’t rocket science.
We’ve added an estimated 4 million Illegal immigrants since 2021 with Biden and Harris in office
A recent Zillow report says the US is short 4 million housing units
Nixon’s likely low estimate of 4 million new illegal immigrants since 2021 (a Yale and MIT study found there were already as many as 22 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. in 2018) could actually conceal the extent of the demand pressures of immigration on the housing market.
Kamala Harris‘ rally in Atlanta, Georgia, which featured a free performance from Bruce Springsteen, captured attendees getting up and leaving after the musician had finished his set.
It seems the only way Kamala could get people to attend the rally was by offering a free concert.
And let’s be honest, Springsteen wasn’t that good either.
Predictably, Harris used her platform to trash Donald Trump, claiming, “He does not understand this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”
Is the plan to have him sing until the crowd pleads for mercy?
“I want a president who reveres the Constitution, who does not threaten but wants to protect and guide our great democracy,” Springsteen said.
He added that he wants someone “who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for a woman’s right to choose, and who wants to create a middle-class economy that will serve all our citizens. There is only one candidate in this election who holds those principles,” he said.
Who was he talking to? Kamala Harris?
When Springsteen finished his songs, people decided they’d had enough and left.
WATCH: The people at Kamala’s rally were only there for the celebrities.
The star studded lineup had a crowd… and as soon as Kamala took the stage, they FLOODED out of the stadium.
WOW! People are leaving in droves from the Kamala rally in Atlanta, Georgia as she is speaking. Looks like they only came for the special guests. pic.twitter.com/KeXN7tYTTB
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said former president Donald Trump could “make history” on Election Day by winning the popular vote.
National polling suggests the Republican nominee may be in a position to win the popular vote, Enten said, making him the Republican nominee in 20 years to do so.
“Trump may win the popular vote,” Enten said.
“Everyone has been talking about this idea that Trump may win in the Electoral College but Kamala Harris will win the popular vote. But Trump may finally get his great white whale.”
“Harris versus Trump national margin, you mention that New York Times [is] a tie, that’s actually right in the middle of the spectrum when we’re talking about recent polling data. You don’t have to look very far to find Donald Trump ahead nationally.”
“He was up by 2 points in the CNBC poll, up by 3 [points] in the Wall Street Journal poll, very close races within the margin of error.”
“But the bottom line is, with the popular vote, which we really haven’t focused upon, a very, very tight race, John. Fact is Donald Trump is very much in a position [where] he could win the popular, which of course this is something he would absolutely love to do,” Enten continued.
The Daily Caller reported that Harris is leading Trump by an average of 1 point in national popular vote polls as of Friday, much lower than President Joe Biden’s 9-point lead or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 6-point lead in late October before the elections of 2016 and 2020.
“Harris in the average poll right now is up by 1, well within the margin of error. You go back four years ago, Joe Biden was well ahead of Donald Trump in the national popular vote polls. He was up by 9,” Enten said.
“Even Hillary Clinton was up by 6 points, so now Donald Trump’s in a position he really hasn’t been before at this point in the campaign where he could truly compete and can truly say at this point that the popular vote is way too close to call,” Enten said.
There's a real shot Trump may get his great white whale: winning the popular vote. Polls show the race nationally is basically even as Trump runs far ahead of where he polled in 2016 or 2020.
He'd be the 1st Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years & only 2nd in 36 years. pic.twitter.com/Pp4LJPwUZe
