Mauritanians?! Good grief. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another Ohio Town Is Being Invaded By Illegal Aliens [...] A small village near Cincinnati, Ohio, is being invaded by Mauritanian illegal immigrants, resulting in a 2,800 percent increase over 2022 when just 543 of them arrived in the town.

This is a surprisingly detailed look at the Texas Senate debate, which I missed when it was televised. Read or skim this for your information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ted Cruz's Chances at Reelection Are Looking Even Better After That Debate Against Colin Allred Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Rep. Colin Allred recently met for a debate in the U.S. Senate race out of Texas. While the race is seen as one of Democrats' top targets in a challenging cycle for the party, Cruz gave a strong performance, with Bonchie at our sister site of RedState declaring, "Ted Cruz Leaves Colin Allred's Campaign in Shambles With Masterful Debate Performance." Susie Moore's "Weekly Briefing" also noted how "Cruz Rumbles." Allred seemed rather nervous and awkward. He also stuck to repetitive talking points. As Bonchie noted, "Allred wasn't ready for primetime, contradicting himself at multiple points and walking right into numerous receipt-laden traps set by Cruz."

Important squealing, but then selective amnesia -- surprise! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's What Nathan Wade Told Congress About Fani Willis The lover of Fulton County DA Fani Willis and ex-Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade spilled the beans before Congress in a damning deposition last week. The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the anti-Trump DA's financial affairs and prosecution of former President Donald Trump, released the 132-page testimony Monday in a move sure to spur Willis, who had demanded that Wade not answer certain questions under oath due to the "confidential" nature of the information.

This is great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Opinion: Trump went to McDonald's and fried Kamala Harris' campaign to a crisp It had reached the point where no one could break through. The presidential election had turned into a blur of cannon fire with each side shooting so many broadsides that nothing made sense. Nothing was discernable.

This is interesting. Will the 37% be a factor? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even Dem Voters Show Signs Of 'Buyer's Remorse' Over Party's Unprecedented Electoral Moves: I&I/TIPP Poll As Election Day looms and polls tighten up, a solid majority of Americans remain unhappy with the Democratic Party's machinations to remove President Joe Biden as its candidate and replace him with Vice President Kamala Harris. And it's not strictly partisan. Many Democrats are also upset at how the party switched candidates, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. As Harris continues to struggle, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,240 registered voters indicates lingering widespread disappointment with the Democratic Party's maneuvers to get rid of the age-impaired Biden last July. The poll asked voters whether they agreed or disagreed with the following three statements: [...] https://issuesinsights.com/2024/10/21/even-dem-voters-show-signs-of-buyers-remorse-over-partys-unprecedented-electoral-moves-ii-tipp-poll/

Just voted early -- first day for it in Texas. Line snaked around the inside and was nearly out the door. Three elderly ladies behind me were voting for Trump and predicted a landslide, saying that it needs to be "too big to rig." We shall see.

Coulda sworn that I'd posted this somewhere a few hours ago, but darned if I can find it. Gracias for noticing and posting it.

Even the incumbent Senators are saying things like "I'm a Dem who can work with Trump" -- Bob Casey in PA is doing exactly this.

Trump Forced To Cancel Campaign Rallies For Next Two Weeks As Time Off Request Denied By McDonald's Manager PHILADELPHIA, PA — Former President Trump has been forced to cancel all of his rallies for the next two weeks after his request to take time off was denied by Brad Norris, his manager at McDonald's. "I told Brad it was very important, that I really needed the time off," said Trump. "He just said that serving delicious golden fries in a timely fashion was also important, and told me to get my priorities in order. I have to tell, I was mad, but I really respect that Brad guy. Tough guy, very smart." With Trump stuck working at McDonald's, Trump will reportedly hold rallies in the PlayPlace during his break times.

British Police Arrest Praying Mantis For Public Prayer LONDON — British police continued to uphold law and order in the United Kingdom by arresting a praying mantis for disturbing the peace with public prayer. According to eyewitnesses, the dangerous domestic extremist was apprehended right outside of Parliament, where the insect had the audacity to fold its forelegs together in silent prayer. "Britain is safe once again," said constable Tom Smith as he affixed tiny handcuffs onto the mantis. "Soon as I seen him, I knew he was praying — knew it with my mind powers. Not on our watch, you little blighter." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/british-police-arrest-praying-mantis-for-public-prayer

COWARD: Hamas Chief's Bunker Loaded With UN Food, Millions in Cash, Weapons and More The one constant in the entire "Islamist terrorist" issue is that their leaders 1) never place themselves in any direct danger, although sometimes danger in the form of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) manages to find them anyway, and 2) they generally live in wealth and luxury while their fighters and the people forced to live in areas they control are in misery. The latest example? The recently-unalived Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, whose bunker was loaded with United Nations rations, millions in cash, weapons, and much more.

Some really cool short videos here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Trolls Kamala With Epic Visit to McDonald's For a while now, Donald Trump has said he'd work a shift at McDonald's. The move was meant to troll Kamala Harris, who claimed she worked at the fast-food chain in the early 1980s. Honestly, I didn't think Trump's plan was the best approach. Sure, I doubt Harris ever worked at McDonald's, but in the bigger picture, with so much at stake in this election, is it really that important? Nothing about Harris feels authentic, and while there's no proof she did work there, there's no way to prove she didn't either. Last week, I said that Trump would have been better off focusing his rhetoric on exposing Harris's overall lack of genuineness rather than zeroing in on her McDonald's story. While his visit may be clever trolling, it doesn't speak to the issues that really matter to most Americans. Today, after seeing Trump work the fryer and the drive-thru at a McDonald's in Feasterville-Trevose, which is in Bucks County, northeast of Philadelphia, which happens to be a swing county, I actually think the event worked masterfully for him.

This is an easy-reading, thorough analysis of what's going on with Kommie's campaign and what it probably means. Can you find anything to object to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are Voters Asking The "Political Toast" Question About Harris And Her Campaign? Much in the manner of the most famous modern crash-and-burn campaigns – George McGovern in 1972 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 – the signs are there that voters are starting to ask about Kamala Harris the political "toast" or "doom" question from which no presidential campaign can recover: "If she can't even run a campaign, how can she run the country?" The steady pattern since early September of questionable decisions, sudden turnabouts and self-induced controversies that have plagued the Harris campaign reached last week exactly the sort of crescendo seen at a similar point in the McGovern and Dukakis efforts: A stream of negative headlines from continuing revelations about the past record of the candidate and her running mate, attempts at clever tactical moves that become strategic debacles, the release of TV ads or videos that anyone outside the campaign finds incomprehensible or even mildly ridiculous, public appearances by the candidate and the campaign's most prominent surrogates that draw backlash and worsen the problem they are supposed to fix, growing complaints by party professionals and operatives about campaign oversight or ineptitude, down-ballot candidates out abandoning the national ticket, and a campaign structure struggling to process disturbing developments or disappointing news but even when it does coming up with solutions that seem more improvised exercises in self-therapy than effective political fixes. This sort of thing has been seen before and with serious consequences. [...] https://amac.us/newsline/elections/are-voters-asking-the-political-toast-question-about-harris-and-her-campaign/

Officials at the Wrocław Zoo in the southwestern Polish city of Wroclaw said the tigers — a critically endangered species whose numbers have dwindled to around 400 in the wild — were born on July 22.
