Kamala Goes ‘Full Biden’ As Reporters Are Forced Out Of FEMA Meeting
Joe Biden was hanging out at the beach over the weekend, and Kamala Harris was at swanky fundraisers in California as people were suffering from Hurricane Helene. But then it was Kamala Harris who went to FEMA on Monday and read from a script saying they support the people who are suffering from the storm’s catastrophic effects.
She also was there apparently for a FEMA meeting. But she had nothing to say about that either. You have to check this out — can we say Joe Biden 2.0? It had everything, from the smirking, confused, and dismissive look on the face and refusing to answer any of the shouted questions — just like Joe — to the aggressive handlers pushing the press out of the room. Let’s be real: She can’t answer them without a script of talking points, and she looks like she’s in over her head.
This would likely be a foreshadowing of what she would continue to do if she wins in November — the same old Biden avoidance, that same disturbing pattern of “We have no obligation to answer any of your questions.” Why would anyone vote for this?
We’re talking about people dying, we deserve answers. And more importantly the people suffering deserve answers, not smirks. How can she deal with foreign leaders if she won’t answer questions about something so important even with friendly press?
But I have another question here. Where is Biden? Why is Kamala in the seat? What the heck is he doing and why isn’t he there? What a message to send to the world.

It Was A Very Midwestern Debate. And Vance Won.
The Ohio senator has a reputation for knowing when to turn up the heat. The debate proved he can turn on the charm, too.
JD Vance not only was polished, but offered a more cutting critique of Kamala Harris than his running mate, Donald Trump, managed in his own debate with her last month. Tim Walz, on the other hand, took a while to warm up — and wasn’t that great even when he did.
The debate, light on body blows and heavy on policy, was won by Vance on style points.

Trump Slams DOJ, Jack Smith Over Unsealed Motion In Election Interference Case: ‘Hit Job’
Former President Donald Trump slammed the Department of Justice (DOJ) for unsealing a motion from Special Counsel Jack Smith regarding Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, describing it as a “hit job.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the Democrat Party was “weaponizing” the DOJ against him “because they know” he is winning, pointing out that this unsealed motion came after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Trump’s vice-presidential running mate, “humiliated” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) in the vice-presidential debate on Tuesday.
Trump’s post came after Judge Chutkan unsealed a 165-page “redacted motion” in which Smith highlighted alleged efforts by Trump and his allies “to try to subvert the 2020 presidential election results,” according to Axios.
In another post on Truth Social, Trump described the filing as being “falsehood-ridden” and “unconstitutional,” adding that it came after Walz’s “disastrous Debate performance.” In another post on Truth Social, Trump added that the “Democrat Party is guilty of the Worst Election Interference in American History,” noting that they were “allowing millions” of illegal aliens into the United States.
As Breitbart News’s Bradley Jaye reported usually these “motions of this type are limited to 45 pages,” however, Smith was allowed to file a 165-page motion, in which he “includes one-sided allegations that turn on Trump’s state of mind.” This comes after Smith filed a superseding indictment against Trump, containing the same four charges Trump was initially charged with. The superseding indictment came after the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling in July regarding presidential immunity.
In response to the superseding indictment, Trump stated it “should be dismissed.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Served At Home In Latest Lawsuit That Alleges Thousands Of Invalid Registrations On State Voter Rolls
On September 26, Georgia citizens filed suit in Federal Court against Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State. The plaintiffs argued that according to data from Georgia state voter rolls and U.S. Postal Service (USPS), there are many individuals who have moved out of the state, but remain registered to vote in Georgia. This violates the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
Their suit demands that Raffensperger follow the NVRA and Georgia law to maintain accurate and timely registrations in Georgia’s voter rolls. The lawsuit seeks to enforce laws that protect Georgians’ right to vote from dilution. The plaintiffs in the suit are William Quinn and David Cross from Georgia.
Georgia’s current voter rolls contain thousands of invalid registrations because the voters in question either permanently moved out of state and are no longer citizens of Georgia or permanently moved to a different county in Georgia from the county in which they are presently registered.
Earlier in 2024, the Common Sense Elections team, using official Georgia data, demonstrated thousands of anomalous addresses at which a mail-in ballot could be sent but not likely received by a real voter. The team also found over 30,000 Georgia voters with multiple voter ID numbers, the voting equivalent of having the government deliberately issue multiple Social Security Numbers.

Brian Kemp To Appear With Donald Trump In Georgia In Wake Of Hurricane Helene
Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) is reportedly expected to appear with former President Donald Trump when he visits Georgia on Friday in the wake of Hurricane Helene. While Trump and Kemp have had their differences, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced on Fox News in August that Kemp was ready to put his “political machine” behind Trump in the Peach State to help him win it in November.
“We got to win from the top of the ticket on down. I’ve been saying consistently for a long time, we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and I think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz would be even worse,” Kemp said. “So, we need to send Donald Trump back to the White House,” he added.
Georgia is one of seven swing states that will decide the outcome of the election. The candidate who has won Georgia in each of the past two presidential elections went on to win the electoral college. Trump caried Georgia by five points in 2016, and it went to President Joe Biden by just .23 percent in 2020.

76 Days: Kamala Harris Has Yet To Do Formal Press Conference Since Emerging As Democratic Nominee
Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 76 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Trump has held six news conferences where he took questions from the media since the beginning of August, including another on Friday after meeting with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp about hurricane relief efforts. President Biden also held a news conference in the White House press briefing room on Friday, where he joked about getting back into the 2024 race.
Harris has stepped up her interviews in recent weeks, including doing radio hits and a solo sit-down with a Philadelphia TV station. She also spoke to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle and she made time to hang out with supporter Oprah Winfrey last month at a star-studded campaign event. This week she taped an interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. But as for when she’ll actually do a formal press conference as a candidate, that day may never come, at least while she’s still a candidate.

Amsterdam, New York Business Owner Defies City Order And Will Not Take Down Massive “Vote for Trump” Sign – Announces MASSIVE Pro-Trump Party On Monday Instead
This week, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino unveiled a massive, $150,000 ‘Vote for Trump’ sign on top of the tallest building in Amsterdam, NY. The sign is meant to symbolize American manufacturing coming back to America, with the location being a fitting due to the factory building it is a-fixed on top of being vacant for over 40 years following the closing of Fownes Brothers and Co., a glove manufacturer that shut down U.S. operations in 1984 and moved to China, decimating Amsterdam.
But when Constantino brought Sticker Mule to the city in 2010, things began to turn around. As his company grew to be one of the largest in the printing industry, he began purchasing and revitalizing almost every functional manufacturing building in the city — bringing prosperity to a city long riddled by despair and poverty.
The city was extremely grateful for Constantino, seeing him as a kind of local hero at the time … but apparently the city is now having a change of heart. Now they are threatening to throw him in jail unless he removes the sign, which is located on his own property/ The mayor then followed through, with the city sending a temporary restraining order demanding: Take down the sign or else.

Democrat Writes Powerful “Career Suicide Note” On Why He Is Voting For Donald Trump
The upcoming presidential election has presented a stark choice between President Donald Trump’s embrace of American exceptionalism and freedom and Kamala Harris’s allegiance to globalist control.
The prospect of Democrats continuing to embrace censorship, warmongering, and lawfare has led many to a Ronald Reagan’s “I didn’t leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me” moment of their own.
Author M.C. Armstrong wrote The Mysteries of Haditha about his time as an embedded journalist with Joint Special Operations Forces in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, in 2008. His story was nominated for “Best Memoir” at the 2021 American Book Festival.
On Friday, Armstrong wrote a powerful statement, which he refers to as a “career suicide note,” on what drove him from the Democrat party and why he will vote for Donald Trump in November.

Walz Defends Drivers Licenses, Free Tuition, Healthcare For Illegal Immigrants
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) said on this week’s “Fox News Sunday” broadcast that giving immigrants illegally in Minnesota diver licenses, free tuition and healthcare has meant safe roads.
Host Shannon Bream said, “The Wall Street Journal says after you chosen to join the ticket as a Democratic Governor Minnesota Tim Walz signed into law and initiatives allowing immigrants in the country illegally to apply for drivers’ licenses qualified for free tuition at state universities and enrolled in the states’ free health care program for low-income residents.
Are those not magnets that draw people here but on dangerous journeys for themselves, and why should your taxpayers in Minnesota or across the states pay for those programs?”
Walz said, “That’s on the vice president’s position but I will say this Minnesota ranks as a top five business state, we rank in the top three state for children living and we are the top states for health care access. I would also say this we have some of the safest roads.”
