DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that FEMA only has 10% frontline staff available for Hurricane Milton emergencies. A year ago, they had 20% availability. He said he was not concerned since they have 22,000 workers [untrained?] they could tap. In May 2023, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report indicating that, as of the […] The post DHS Sec.

“100% of the money I gave went to Republicans. I’ve always been Republican, it’s just the party that makes the most sense… the government hands get-out-of-jail-free cards if you parrot the narrative that they want. And then everyone who would provide any counterpoint is frightened.” The Biden Justice Department prosecuted hundreds of Americans for their […] The post DOJ Prosecuted the One GOP Donor in FTX Scandal for a Non-Case appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Former President Donald Trump reacted on Wednesday to the Vice President’s appearance on “Beta Male” Howard Stern’s Sirius XM podcast, “The Howard Stern Show,” calling it embarrassing. “BETA MALE Howard Stern made a fool of himself on his low rated radio show when he ‘interviewed’ Lyin’ Kamala Harris, and hit her with so many SOFTBALL questions that even she was embarrassed,” Trump wrote in a post he made on his social media platform Truth Social. “He [Stern] looked like a real fool, working so hard to make a totally incompetent and ill-equipped person look as good as possible, which wasn’t very good,” the president added. “I dropped Howard a long time ago, like most others, and have since been credited with very good judgment! MAGA2024,” Trump concluded his post.

Trump Posts From His Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) October 9, 2024 Harris has recently appeared to change her basement campaign strategy, going on a media blitz and appearing on shows where she knew she was likely to get softball questions — like Stern’s show, ‘The View,’ and the sexually explicit podcast “Call Her Daddy” — but she still got blasted for going on the last of the three while Americans were dying in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The Vice President also sat for an interview with “60 Minutes,” where she struggled to answer questions about the multiple wars around the world, her economic plans, and the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to stop the flow of immigration on the southern border. Trump later reacted to the interview, calling on the CBS news-magazine program to release the “unedited Kamala interview transcript.” “I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better,” Trump’s post read. “It may also be a major Campaign Finance Violation,” he added. “This is a stain on the reputation of ‘60 Minutes’ that is not recoverable  — It will always remain with this once storied brand. I have never heard of such a thing being done in ‘News.’” “It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS!” Trump continued. “The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today!” Related: Kamala Blasted For Going On Explicit ‘Call Her Daddy’ Podcast As ‘Americans Are Dying’

Brand-new polling out of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin shows Kamala Harris’ blue wall seems to be collapsing. If former President Trump wins North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona — which I think he will — Harris needs to hold all three of the blue wall states to win in 2024. In recent years, those three states have been crucial. When Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, she thought that she had the blue wall locked up. But that was not the case because she had a real problem with blue-collar white men. That problem for the Democrats still exists. In the last five Pennsylvania polls, Donald Trump is tied in two and ahead in three. Fox News has Donald Trump tied at 49%. Atlas Intel has Trump plus three. Trafalgar has Trump plus three. Emerson has a tie. Insider Advantage has Trump plus two. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, the race has gotten a lot closer over the course of the last few weeks. The last three polls show: Atlas Intel: Trump plus two; New York Times/Siena: Harris plus two; Trafalgar: Trump plus one. In addition, Cook Political Report reported on Tuesday: Our Swing State Project surveys last week showed Wisconsin to be the closest Senate race of the five battlegrounds polled, with Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s seven-point August lead shrinking to two points, 49%-47%, over GOP challenger Eric Hovde. In Michigan, a lot of news about internal polling from Michigan reveal Harris is having serious problems. In the last four polls, Atlas Intel has Trump up plus four; New York Times/Siena has Harris plus one; Trafalgar has Trump up plus two and MIRS/MI News Source has Trump plus one. In other words, these are very close states, but Trump seems to be picking up some momentum. Not only that, the union men who are very prevalent in these three states are turning against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. A Teamsters Union poll showed Joe Biden beating Donald Trump among Teamsters union members. As soon as Kamala Harris got in, it flipped and suddenly Trump was winning those union members 60 to 40. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show That leads to my theory that there is a very large and very quiet male pro-Trump vote. That men, particularly blue-collar white men, look at Kamala Harris and see someone who disdains traditional masculinity. The attempts to turn Doug Emhoff into an icon of the new masculinity or Tim Walz, the weirdo, into some sort of icon, what it’s like to be a “true man” in America in 2024, is not just missing its desired impact, it is exacerbating male feelings that the Democratic ticket is no longer interested in them. Those men may have a bunch of cross-cutting concerns, including concerns about what Kamala Harris is going to do on the economy, concerns about the attack on traditional masculinity, concerns that Kamala Harris does not have them in her heart. There is a lot of good evidence to that effect, which is why Kamala Harris right now has some serious problems in these blue wall states. The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday: Democrats have privately grown worried about Kamala Harris’s standing among working-class voters in the crucial ‘blue-wall’ states—particularly in Michigan. … Recent polling shows Harris and Trump essentially tied in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. … Donald Trump has assiduously courted union members and noncollege-educated white voters with a message focused on high costs, manufacturing, and the threat of China to the U.S. economy. There is a culture war that has been going on in this country that is clearly evident. It can be summed up by noting that in recent weeks, Donald Trump has been holding rallies in the blue wall states and appearing on conservative podcasts like mine or appearing on Fox News. Meanwhile, Harris has been jet-setting to every single Left-wing cultural glitterati elite show she can find. There is a vast culture gap between the kinds of people that Donald Trump is appealing to and the kinds of people that Kamala Harris is appealing to. And when you add the fact that she seems to be a self-glorifying, absolutely empty suit, that is not a good look. Kamala Harris is out of touch. She’s an elite West Coast Left-winger from San Francisco and then Montreal and then back to California, where she lived in coastal enclaves, living the high life and drinking chardonnay at 2:00 p.m. until she was made vice president of the United States. That appears to be the image that she is cultivating, and I’m not sure why she thinks that is good for her. I assume that she believes that if she runs up the vote with suburban white women by talking about abortion on a podcast that only women listen to, it will magically spur her to victory. But here’s the problem. She’s mining where she already has the gold. There’s nothing else to be found there. If the people she needs to win over are white blue-collar men, she isn’t going to do that by going on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
