Famous country singer Morgan Wallen donated $500,000 to the Red Cross via the Morgan Wallen Foundation to help those affected by Hurricane Helene’s destruction.

Canada is burdening suffering Canadians with $26 billion in added taxes on climate change. The trucking industry works on a low-profit margin and must pass all the latest Trudeau carbon tax costs onto the consumer. It will cost jobs, reduce the GDP, and do nothing for the climate. However, Trudeau is a loyal soldier for […] The post Canada’s Carbon Tax Will Cost Canadian Worker $6700 by 2030 appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Top pollster Frank Luntz’s focus group overwhelmingly decided that Sen. JD Vance from Ohio was the victor against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the CBS Vice Presidential debate. Wednesday on X, Luntz shared a clip of his post-debate focus group and wrote, “An overwhelming majority (12-2) said JD Vance won the debate, and also felt he was far better at communicating the MAGA agenda than Donald Trump.” In the clip shared by the pollster, the focus group analyzed the responses of both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mates — and found that it wasn’t even close. Some of the answers the group gave were that Vance appeared “very battle-tested, very ready. You could just see he went to Yale and he’s very intelligent.” Another person added, “his strong control of the facts,” noting that Vance “ran the show.” I joined @SaraSidnerCNN this morning to share results from my #VPDebate focus group. An overwhelming majority (12-2) said JD Vance won the debate, and also felt he was far better at communicating the MAGA agenda than Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/3aalhnhBX0 — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) October 2, 2024 One person said that Vance “humanized himself and actually looked like a regular guy.” The last comment will most likely please the Trump team after it had to battle a perception for weeks — created by Walz and the Democratic party — that Vance was “weird.” Speaking to CNN, Luntz pointed out that the focus group loved both candidates and, if they could, they would reverse the tickets of the Republicans and Democrats, placing Vance and Walz at the top of the ticket for president. He also said that only twice in his career, has he had a focus group that had such an overwhelmingly positive feeling about one candidate over the other as this one did about Vance.  However, he did not explain further what the other example was.  When pressed by CNN how the group felt about Walz, he said they felt the first 30 minutes the Gov. was “stumbling” and “struggled,” but got better as the debate went on. He also said the focus group didn’t give him as high marks as Vance because they were critical of how Walz wasn’t “answering the questions” that the moderators posed to him. The opinion that Walz did not beat Vance seemed to be a consistent one, as political commentators on the Left quickly pivoted their views to say that vice presidential debates don’t matter and are inconsequential, as previously reported. “Here’s the thing,” David Axelrod, a former Barack Obama advisor, said. “VPs don’t make policy. Presidents do. Who talks about the Pence years?!?” “I actually think most Americans fundamentally understand that the VP is not the President,” former Missouri Senator and MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill added.

With just five weeks until voters head to the polls on Election Day, conservative political action committees dumped $30 million into the close Senate race in the battleground state of Michigan. Republican candidate Mike Rogers is barely trailing Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) in the race for Michigan’s open Senate seat, according to most polls. In an effort to boost Rogers’ campaign, the Great Lakes Conservative Fund, a super PAC, has spent $8 million on statewide ads, Axios reported earlier this week. The Great Lakes Conservative Fund’s ad buy comes shortly after The Wall Street Journal reported that Mitch McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund is spending $22.5 million in Michigan, which marked the first time that the Senate Leadership Fund spent money on the Michigan race. The Democratic Senate campaign arm, meanwhile, has spent $22 million in Michigan this year, according to Axios. Both of Michigan’s Senate seats have been controlled by Democrats since 2001 after Debbie Stabenow defeated Republican Spencer Abraham in the 2000 election. Stabenow announced last year that she was retiring from the Senate at the end of her term in January 2025. The race between Rogers and Slotkin was moved to a “toss-up” by Cook Political Report in July, joining the Ohio race between Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republican Bernie Moreno as the only other toss-up in the 2024 Senate elections. Republicans will likely take a seat from Democrats in West Virginia and are favored to win in Montana. Slotkin warned donors on a call last week that Vice President Kamala Harris is “underwater” in her campaign’s internal polling. “I’m not feeling my best right now about where we are in Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan. We have her underwater in our polling,” Slotkin said. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Internal GOP polling has also shown a tightening race between Slotkin and Rogers with the two candidates in a statistical tie, according to Axios. Rogers told The Daily Wire last month that he’s been visiting churches across Michigan and talking to people of faith, most of whom told him that the economy is the biggest issue heading into the election. “So many people are literally living paycheck-to-paycheck,” Rogers said. “That is always front-and-center.”

Ivanka Trump and the Love and Light Foundation delivered Starlink terminals to flood-ravaged areas of North Carolina after southeastern states were devastated by Hurricane Helene. In a post on Wednesday on X, the United Cajun Navy-Search & Rescue, Disaster Response & Recovery posted a clip showing hundreds of boxes of the equipment that had been flown in allowing for high-speed internet for victims of the hurricane in remote areas. Starlink provides satellite internet service from Space X, which was founded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “YUGE shout out to @IvankaTrump and the Love and Light Foundation for flying in 300 STARLINK units for the #helene victims of the #NorthCarolinaFlood. #unitedisstrength #unitedcajunnavy #CajunNavy #Helene,” the United Cajun Navy’s post read. In another post on X, Starlink said it was providing “free service for 30 days in regions affected by Hurricane Helene,” with a link about how the program worked. “Starlink aims to enable anyone impacted by a natural disaster to be able to access internet connectivity,” the linked website read. “For those in areas that were impacted by Hurricane Helene, Starlink is available and temporarily offering free service for the first month.” YUGE shout out to @IvankaTrump and the Love and Light Foundation for flying in 300 STARLINK units for the #helene victims of the #NorthCarolinaFlood ! #unitedisstrength #unitedcajunnavy #CajunNavy #Helene pic.twitter.com/H6QPX9OPHu — United Cajun Navy (@Unitedcajunnavy) October 2, 2024 “If you are impacted by Hurricane Helene, or are looking to enable rapid assistance for responding to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene, and need to access this 30 day free service option, please follow the steps below,” it added. Musk also posted on social media and wrote, “Starlink terminals will now work automatically without need for payment in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene.” At least 180 people across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Virginia have already been confirmed dead in the wake of the hurricane, with the death toll expected to rise. Millions were left without power, internet access, and cell phone service. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! On Monday, former President Donald Trump traveled to the area and said he’d spoken to Musk about getting Starlink in there to help. A spokesperson for President Joe Biden’s administration then hit back and said that FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] had already planned for Starlink deliveries, NBC noted. On Tuesday on X, Musk wrote, “Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need. Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.” Related: Hurricane Helene Death Toll Approaches 180 As Hundreds Still Missing
