I can't believe this is actually happening. Bill Maher is flipping the script on Laura Loomer, claiming she is in an “arranged relationship” with Donald Trump. But then he took it even further, suggesting Loomer is doing you know what with Trump. “She's 31, looks like his type ... Who's Trump f—king? Because I said, it's not nobody. He's been a dog for too long. And it's not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week.” Bill Maher’s TDS Backfires as Laura Loomer Threatens Lawsuits Over Slanderous Comments Things aren’t looking good for Bill!! https://vigilantnews.com/post/bill-mahers-tds-backfires/ UTL COMMENT:- Do I care about either of them?

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris breathed a collective sigh of relief when, for once, she managed to remember her rehearsed lines during the recent presidential debate with former President Trump. Her friends in the Fourth Estate gleefully joined the Democrats in declaring Harris the “winner” and gloated over Trump’s underwhelming performance. These people have forgotten that Hillary Clinton was celebrated as the victor of all her debates with Trump in 2016 and how little that mattered in the end. They would be wise to consider why Harris couldn’t answer the most important question of last week’s debate and what that failure portends for her campaign. They all know the answer to the question Ronald Reagan famously asked the voters … “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” The first question to Harris was asked by moderator David Muir: “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?” Harris responded with a 330-word shaggy dog memoir consisting of irrelevant stories about being “raised as a middle-class kid,” bromides about “the aspirations of the American people,” and vague promises to build an “opportunity economy.” Conspicuously absent from this oration was a straight answer to Muir’s question. If Harris believes she can avoid this issue she’s delusional. Most voters believe they were better off during Trump’s presidency than they are now. CNN explains why in an unusually candid article: From Trump’s inauguration in 2017 through February 2020, an average of 181,500 jobs were added on a monthly basis. The unemployment rate hovered around 50-year lows of 3.5 percent in the months just before the pandemic began, and the rate for Black Americans hit a record low of 5.3 percent … Before the pandemic, median household income saw the biggest spike in more than four decades, hitting a record high of $68,700 in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The poverty rate fell to 10.5 percent, the lowest since records started six decades earlier. All of this progress was made without putting upward pressure on the inflation rate, which stood at 1.4 percent when Trump left the White House. This is why, according to the most recent New York Times/Siena College survey, Trump enjoys a 16-point advantage (56-40) over Harris when registered voters are asked which presidential nominee they trust to do a better job on the economy. Nonetheless, during the only solo interview she has granted since her elevation to the top of the Democratic ticket, Harris couldn’t provide a coherent answer to a simple question about how she planned to make life more affordable for Americans. On Friday Harris submitted to a short interview with the local ABC News affiliate in Philadelphia. She talked to co-anchor Brian Taff, who tossed her a few softball questions including the following: “When we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that?” She responded by serving up a salad of non sequiturs about being raised in the middle class, when her family bought their first house and how proud her neighbors were of their lawns. She finally mentioned the “opportunity economy” but once again failed to explain what it means. Veteran GOP strategist Mike Murphy, hardly a Trump apologist, described Harris’ biggest problem during a discussion with Ryan Lizza on Politico’s “Playbook Deep Dive” podcast: The thing everybody’s missing is the country really wants to fire the Biden administration over the economy. And that is hard to find a moment or a campaign thing. But that wall of lava is out there and it can still eat the Democrats. So, can Kamala Harris convince people she’s different enough with an independent plan that they have permission to vote for her and not risk four more years of economic and inflation pain? If she can make that case, I think she will win … If she can’t sell that change deal in a way they’ll believe it … He can still win this thing. Unfortunately for Harris, while she tries to “sell the change deal,” her boss is still making public statements that undermine that very argument. Saturday, during a speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Dinner, Biden angrily refuted the objective facts: “We went big and we went bold. And, yes, we are better off than we were four years ago.” This is the problem with striking the King without killing him. The people who actually run the White House believed they could force Biden to withdraw from the presidential race and leave him in office without consequences. But, despite his claims to the contrary, the President and his family are very unhappy with this arrangement and they will sabotage her if possible. It’s important to remember that Biden’s entire case for seeking a second term rested on his claim that he was the only Democrat who could defeat Trump. This was an implicit rejection of Harris as a viable leader in the existential battle to save “our democracy” from the Bad Orange Man. (READ MORE: Hiding Candidates Is Now SOP for Democrats) So, we have Harris making the case for “turning the page” while Biden defends his legacy. Meanwhile, the election will be decided by ordinary Americans who couldn’t care less about White House intrigue. They all know the answer to the question Ronald Reagan famously asked the voters on Oct. 28, 1980: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” (READ MORE from David Catron: Harris Will Lose Unless Her Polls Rise Sharply) The post The Most Important Question Harris Can’t Answer appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

Most boys growing into men today — playing their phones instead of reading books — will have a harder time than we Culture War veterans in understanding the real world. Even their interminable superhero movies are basically video games. Consequently, without a foundation in metaphorical literature or drama, they will be easier to deceive by leftwing academia and media. Those of us who read his story know what comes next for Donald Trump. They’ll never enjoy the reward of following Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian as he carves a violent — often sexually pleasurable — path through a myriad of effete sorcerous tyrants. For if they did, they would appreciate the historic role Donald Trump is playing in the modern political arena and wouldn’t care less about his brash personality. There’s no question Trump’s rough demeanor is repellant to many people, even a few real men my age. This lamentable truth hit close to home last week during my daily bout of Wordle against three buddies in Washington D.C. For those unfamiliar with the game (as I was a year ago), you have six rows to ascertain the five-letter word of the day. The goal is to get the word in the highest row possible. Our average is four rows, and we rarely draw blanks in all six. So, I was surprised to see a total wipeout for one of us the morning after the Harris-Trump debate — till I saw Steve’s filled letter blocks: TRUMP, LOSER, AHOLE, FALSE, ANGRY, TOAST. (READ MORE from Lou Aguilar: Hollywoke Heroes and Movies We’ll Never See) With politics a forbidden, futile subject among the group, I can only ponder what it is about Trump that can trigger such game-blowing derangement from an otherwise cool guy. I can’t ask Steve or my other two friends, Vic and Dave, what Trump ever did to merit their hostility, or which presidential act of his can justify it. Was it securing the border with Mexico? Achieving across-the-board prosperity? Crushing ISIS in two months? The Abraham Accords? Rebuilding the military? The COVID vaccines? Ending Roe v. Wade? They couldn’t answer me — only blast his boorishness, chauvinism, and braggadocio. All would be valid impediments in normal times. But these are not normal times. For America, it could be the End Times. The Perils of Kamala If Kamala Harris and the machine Left controlling her get elected, the following horrors will happen. Twenty million illegal aliens allowed in the last Administration will get the right to vote, ensuring permanent Democratic rule. Opposing speech will be prohibited and free speech platforms crushed — see Brazil. Baby murder will be permitted up to the moment of birth, even after birth — see Tim Walsh’s Minnesota. Children will be taken away from parents who deny their “chosen gender” — see California. And the Supreme Court, newly packed with a liberal majority, will support the State — back to Brazil. But Trump is a jerk, according to my friends. I asked Vic if watching Trump get shot in the head, then rise up bloody but unbowed didn’t impress him as a man. He said no, which made me sad. I can understand celebrity fruitcakes losing their leftist minds over Trump. They live in a fantasy bubble so far removed from regular folks as to be on another planet, Planet Hollywoke. For them, the thought of Trump’s imminent reelection has driven them off the already deep end. Director and permanent TDS sufferer Rob Reiner recently declared he would set himself on fire should Trump get elected. “I can’t live in this country if he becomes president,” Barbra Streisand said on Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show. And Kathy Griffin fears for comedians. “He’s going to pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins,” she told Entertainment Weekly. But if Griffin meant actual comedians, she and every late-night talk show host are safe. The Real Donald Trump The truth is Donald Trump was a great President, who did none of the outrages ascribed to him. Whether he’s a good man or not can only be judged by a Higher Power. Though he did something that convinced me that he is. He sent a heartwarming birthday letter to a little boy suffering from a rare brain disorder and growth hormone deficiency. The letter made the sweet boy cry. And the video of it did the same to me. “Dear Lliam, happy eight birthday,” Trump wrote. “Mrs. Trump and I hope you enjoy this special occasion surrounded by the love of your family and friends. We are so encouraged by the strength and determination you have shown throughout your young life. And send our love and best wishes to you as you continue to fight. Remember that you are never alone, and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers for continued care and good health. May God bless you and your family … Sincerely, Donald Trump.” If I thought it would make any difference in their opinion of Trump, I would share the video with my Wordle crew. But I know it wouldn’t, so I won’t. What I also know that they do not is that Donald Trump is all that stands between our country and a disaster from which it would never recover. So, unlike them, I’ll do everything in my power to get him elected. Fortunately, so will most real men and the women who love them and this country. The nation’s enemies know it too, and they’ll do anything to remove him. As I write this article, reports are coming in of another assassination attempt on Trump that took place on his Palm Beach, Florida golf course. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said U.S. Secret Service agents fired at a man pointing an AK-style rifle with scope as Trump was on the golf course. The Secret Service removed Trump from the scene. According to Sean Hannity, a friend of his playing with the former President heard him say, “I really wish I could’ve finished that hole.” (READ MORE: Reagan Made Me a Conservative) Trump has now survived several attempts to kill him. As did Conan the Barbarian, who went from warrior to king, defeating the unmasculine power elite along the way. Those of us who read his story know what comes next for Donald Trump. My Wordle friends and former Hollywoke ones ain’t gonna like it. _______ An old-fashioned tough guy detective novel with a modern twist, Friends and book lovers in the D.C. area are cordially invited to attend the signing of my new political thriller detective novel The Washington Trail at Washington’s preeminent bookstore, Politics & Prose, on Saturday September 28th at 3 PM. “An old-fashioned tough-guy detective novel with a modern twist, The Washington Trail will keep you guessing until the very end.” Faith Moore, author of Saving Cinderella and Christmas Karol The post Trump the True Barbarian appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

Former president Trump was incorrectly “fact checked” corrected by the ABC moderators in the recent debate. The most easily proved point the ABC team “corrected” was Trump’s claim that violent crime has skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris regime because of crime committed by illegal aliens. Polis isn’t serious about ridding the Denver area of TdA. Residents are being terrorized by the gang. ABC’s David Muir interrupted him to say, “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down.” The FBI’s most recent crime statistics show that Muir was comprehensively wrong. In the Justice Department’s “National Crime Victimization Survey,” which was released last week, DoJ reported that violent crime was up 37 percent from 2020 to 2023, rape is up 42 percent, robbery is up 63 percent, and stranger violence is up 61 percent. (READ MORE from Jed Babbin: Questions for Kamala Harris) The number or percentage of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens is not something that the government publishes for obvious reasons. If those numbers were published, someone might actually demand that the Biden-Harris crew be held accountable for the crime waves that are making our cities, and some areas outside them, damn nearly uninhabitable. Latin American Crime Syndicates We know that violent Central and South American gangs have been operating here for years. MS-13, founded in Los Angeles in the 1980s, grew to its current enormous membership primarily due to members who came to the U.S. illegally from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. MS-13 now extends its criminal activities throughout the country. There is  an MS-13 presence here in Northern Virginia where I live. There are other criminal gangs and drug cartels that have taken root in most states. Recently the media has focused on the “Tren de Aragua” gang — literally, the “train to Aragua,” a state in northern Venezuela — which was created by the inmates of a Venezuelan jail. They, like MS-13, are hyperviolent and operate across our country. Mr. Trump’s claim at the debate that Venezuela is seeing a decrease in violent crime went unnoticed. He must have taken that position because that is what the Venezuelan government claims. Mr. Trump shouldn’t believe anything the Maduro government publishes, but he made the point at the debate. In a recent report, the “Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia” stated there was a drop in violent crime of 25 percent. It bases that number on the fact that a great many criminals have emigrated to other countries. The United States is one of those countries. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known for dismembering rivals from Chile to Columbia. It is known to be operating in Texas and dozens of criminal cases against it are pending in Miami. Some law enforcement officials refer to TdA as “MS-13 on steroids.” According to that same report, many TdA members have come into the U.S. among the 700,000 Venezuelans that the Biden-Harris crew has allowed into the country. As the WSJ reported, “Tren de Aragua members are suspects in the shooting of two New York police officers, the killing of a former Venezuelan police officer in South Florida, and crimes from Chicago to Texas, law-enforcement authorities said.” The report added, “Tren de Aragua members have found particularly lucrative territory in New York City, authorities said. They are accused of robberies at upscale stores, and moped-riding gang members also have been blamed for snatching phones from unsuspecting pedestrians, said Joseph Kenny, chief of detectives for the New York Police Department. ‘It was like a wave of crime like we had never seen before,’ Kenny said.” Red State vs. Blue State Crime Responses We know about Tren de Aragua because of their activities that have generated media coverage in Colorado and Texas as well. According to recent reports, TdA took over an Aurora, Colorado apartment building, terrorizing residents and forcing the landlord to sell the property. As you’d expect, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, denied that any such thing was occurring. After making that statement, Polis backed off. He announced on X (formerly Twitter) that “taking over buildings has no place in Colorado,” and that he’d “been in touch” with Aurora officials over the past month and “offered any and all state assistance” to “back up any operation by the Aurora Police Department.” Polis isn’t serious about ridding the Denver area of TdA. Residents are being terrorized by the gang. Truth doesn’t matter to him, but should no one blame him for the mess his party has made? Every Dem politician is to blame because they march in lockstep behind Biden and Harris. (READ MORE: Harris and Walz Are the Radicals) Texas, as you’d also expect, is doing things differently. When TdA members took over a hotel, Texas police closed it down and threw them out. The TdA problem is beyond local law enforcement. It will take a massive federal effort to find and throw its members out of the country. That won’t happen with Biden and Harris in charge. After all, it’s their open border policy that admitted them in the first place. And it’s not just the gangs. Hardly a day goes by that the media doesn’t report more crimes by illegal aliens. Yesterday, one report said that an illegal from the Dominican Republic, Julio Cesar Pimentel-Soriano, was charged with the stabbing murders of a family of four. We know that Vice President Harris will keep our borders open. It’s long past time to throw her and the rest of the Biden bums out of government. The post ABC News Blew It.
