Ex-Staff Calls Kamala’s Husband an ‘Asshole’ and ‘Misogynistic’

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband are facing more bad news as former colleagues reveal what it was like working with the second gentleman.

Attorneys who worked at Venable with Doug Emhoff said that he would often scream profanities, prohibit women from his office cocktail hour, refuse work perks for women who would not flirt with him and would only travel in a limousine with young and attractive associates when going to a ball.

Under anonymity, a former senior staff member told the Daily Mail that Emhoff once “bragged” about screaming “get the f*ck out of my office” to one of the female partners at the firm and later shared with his top male colleagues that he “put her in her place.”

“She had to ask him something,” the ex-staffer told the outlet. “His office door was closed. She said to his secretary, ‘is he on the phone?’ She said no. She tapped on the door, he didn’t answer, so she slightly opened the door and stuck her head in.”

Harris Scrambles After CBS Calls Her Out for Stealing Biden’s Delegates: ‘You Were Handed the Nomination, No Primary, No Votes… That’s Not How Our System Was Intended to Work’

Kamala Harris’s campaign took a hard hit this week during her highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview with CBS’s Bill Whitaker.

What was meant to be a friendly sit-down to showcase her policies turned into an all-out disaster, as Harris was called out for essentially being “handed” the Democrat nomination without ever going through a primary process.

CBS hit her with hard-hitting facts: no votes, no debates, no campaign battle — just an elitist handoff of power.

After a shaky start discussing her foreign policy approach to Middle East tensions, Harris stumbled through an attempted defense of her economic policies, which Whitaker repeatedly challenged.

Her “word salad” responses about middle-class investment left the host unimpressed, who pressed her again and again on how she would actually pass her proposals through Congress.

The tense exchange grew even more heated as Harris tried to deflect by casting blame on “the rich,” prompting Whitaker to urge her to be “realistic.”

The most damaging part of the interview, however, was when Whitaker zeroed in on the issue of her nomination.

Joe Biden abruptly announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race after Obama and Nancy Pelosi forced him out following the disastrous debate with Trump.

Harris stole all of Biden’s delegates. Although she has never won a primary, she is now the Democrat nominee after a group of elitists ushered her to the top of the ticket.

In a democratic system, the people expect to vote for their leaders, not have them handed to them by a small group of political elites. Harris’s nomination reeks of backroom deals and insider politics, and Whitaker wasn’t afraid to call her out on it.

ELECTION STEAL 2.0? Detroit City Officials Break Election Law, Disenfranchise Republican Poll Workers, Stack Deck with Democrats

With election day less than a month away, election officials in the city of Detroit are stacking the deck against Republicans, engaging in a multitude of dubious tactics designed to create a one-sided atmosphere in the absentee ballot counting board – the place where the battleground state of Michigan’s electoral votes will ultimately be decided.

The absentee ballot counting board was ground zero for the election steal in 2020, with the infamous 3AM Biden ballot dump by the city clerk’s office initiating a string of events that changed the history of the country.

Those suspect ballots were processed as Republican poll challengers were thrown off the floor for asking questions with the scene of the crime being boarded off so the vote heist could be conducted under cover of darkness.

Now, with many Republicans aware of the city of Detroit’s fraud blueprint from 2020, they have taken the initiative to sign up as poll workers to have a better chance of bringing transparency and accountability to the process.

This has prompted the city of Detroit to break election law and commit many deceptive acts in the months headed up to the 2024 election.

“The thugocracy is at it again in Detroit,“ said Shane Trejo, a Michigan-based journalist and political activist who blew the whistle on the Biden Ballot Dump that erased Trump’s victory in Michigan in 2020.

“Crooked Detroit election officials are engaging in similar tactics as 2020 because they want to engineer the same outcome.”

Of the many hundreds of Republicans recruited to work as election inspectors in Detroit, many have still not received call backs from the City of Detroit with less than a month to election day.

These election inspector recruits are being disenfranchised, and individuals who do receive callbacks or email responses are being issued ridiculous demands in the hope that they will disappear.

Different election inspector recruits have been told by Detroit election officials that they had to work all 16 days to be hired to work the polls on election day.

Florida Senator Sues State Over Anti-Marijuana Ad, Alleging Unconstitutional Use Of Taxpayer Dollars Ahead Of Legalization Vote

A Florida Democratic senator is suing the state for using taxpayer dollars to fund a recent ad that he says unconstitutionally attempts to influence voters to oppose a marijuana legalization initiative that will be on the ballot next month.

Sen. Jason Pizzo (D), who is expected to run for governor in 2026, announced on Friday that he would be seeking an injunction against the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) over the ad, which warns against driving under the influence of cannabis and then makes a contested claim that “DUI crashes increase in states with legalized marijuana, putting everyone at risk.”

Making such an assertion in an ad supported by tax dollars amounts to “political messaging” and therefore represents an unconstitutional use of appropriations authority, the senator says. The campaign behind the Florida legalization initiative has also sent cease and desist letters to 54 TV stations that have aired the public service announcement.

“For years, our state has wasted precious time, and many millions, peddling divisive and unproductive nonsense, while flouting practical solutions for critical needs,” Pizzo said.

Are Dems Slow-Walking Hurricane Relief To Suppress An Election-Deciding Number Of GOP Voters?

Early voting in North Carolina starts in just days, and Appalachian voters in the western, deep-red stronghold of the state are still desperate for help with basic necessities after destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene. A slow-rolled disaster relief response from federal and state government agencies has many wondering if the Democrats in charge are trying to suppress the votes of the predominantly Trump-supporting region.

“As rescuing survivors and repairing damage continues in North Carolina, the alarming lack of state-level adjustment regarding the conduct of this year’s election has begun to appear intentional on the part of Democrat Governor Cooper and his allies,” a press release from the Election Transparency Initiative, run by former acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli, stated.

The vast majority of the 28 counties and tribal areas included in the emergency declaration are Republican strongholds, and the voters there can make or break a win for former President Donald Trump in the tight swing state he only carried by about 75,000 votes in 2020.

According to an analysis by The Federalist, 604,119 voters in the emergency declaration region cast their ballots for Trump in 2020, while 356,902 chose President Joe Biden. That 247,217-vote difference is more than three times Trump’s margin of victory in 2020.

Trump voters in the affected region also made up 10.9 percent of the total 5,545,848 votes cast in 2020, and the average county voter participation rate is 77.3 percent.

Voter suppression in the disaster zone could be catastrophic for the Trump campaign, and the malaise shown by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Cooper, and the Democrat-run North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) raises significant questions about a life-threatening power play from Democrats and deliberate election interference in order to carry the state for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

“Officials are not making important decisions and then publishing relevant information to educate citizens about how they can vote,” Jim Womack, president of the North Carolina Election Integrity Team, told The Federalist in a statement. “State and federal authorities are tediously slow in surveying the damaged facilities and in training replacement election officials so we can experience a free and fair election in which everyone from the disaster-ravaged areas has the opportunity to vote.”

Democrats are also well-aware of the advantage they have.

RNC Sues Fulton County Elections Director for Refusing to Hire Republican Poll Workers — Only 15 Republicans Hired Out of More than 800 Election Staff

The Republican National Committee (RNC), along with the Georgia Republican Party and the Fulton County Republican Party, has filed a lawsuit against Nadine Williams, the Director of Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections.

The lawsuit alleges that Williams intentionally excluded qualified Republican poll workers from the hiring process for the upcoming November 2024 election, hiring only 15 Republicans out of 804 total election staff.

The lawsuit, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, seeks an emergency writ of mandamus, demanding Williams immediately appoint the Republican poll workers that were submitted for consideration.

Under Georgia law, political parties are entitled to submit lists of qualified individuals to serve as poll workers, and election officials are required to ensure balanced representation from both parties at polling places.

However, according to the lawsuit, the RNC and its affiliates claim that Williams has outright ignored their lists, violating the state law meant to ensure fair elections.

Out of 62 qualified Republicans submitted to work on election day, only 6 were hired. Similarly, of the 45 Republicans who applied for early voting positions, a mere 9 were selected.

Worst COVID Fund Fraud in U.S. Occurred in Minnesota’s Somali Community Under Gov. Tim Walz

The nation is learning that the single largest COVID relief-fund fraud in the country occurred in the Somali community in Minneapolis, Minnesota, under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) tenure, and recently even CNN had to sit up and take notice.

On Friday, CNN reported about the massive amount of theft of government funding that has been going on in Minnesota under Walz. The network noted that non-partisan state auditors have published no less than 16 reports on the massive amounts of fraud occurring in the Gopher State during Walz’s governorship.

But the worst incident in Minnesota also stands as the most expensive fraud concerning COVID funding in the entire nation where 47 Somali immigrants have been charged with stealing $250 million in federal COVID funding.

Under Walz’s leadership, a fake Somali charity called “Feeding Our Future” was found to have defrauded the government of millions of dollars, money that was set aside to help children and families during the COVID crisis, but money that was stolen to pay for high-priced real estate, cars, clothes, travel expenses, and luxuries for the members of the Somali community that managed the funds.

Gov. Walz claimed that they caught the fraud “early” and patted himself on the back for working to clean up the mess and prosecute the fraudsters. But CNN noted that Walz’s own Dept. of Education left the door wide open for this type of fraud.

As a congressman, Tim Walz sponsored legislation that would have granted legal status to 3 million undocumented migrants

A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report has found that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, during his time in Congress, co-sponsored a bill that would have granted legal status to millions of undocumented migrants and would have placed significant financial strain on America’s social programs if it was passed.

The legislation, also known as the 2017 DREAM Act, proposed a pathway to citizenship for over three million illegal immigrants. The bill would have also expanded “chain migration,” by allowing nearly legalized individuals to sponsor relatives for permanent residency. (Related: Tim Walz linked to radical personalities with close ties to socialists and Marxists.)

The CBO report highlighted how both direct beneficiaries of the DREAM Act and their family members would have become eligible to receive support from federal social programs like Social Security and Medicaid after contributing payroll taxes after several years. Their inclusion in these programs would have significantly ballooned federal spending on them.

The CBO estimated the DREAM Act would have added $1 billion on higher education, $5.5 billion on earned income and child tax credits, $5 billion to Medicaid costs, $2.3 billion in food stamp spending, $900 million on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, $600 million on Social Security spending and $300 million on Medicare.

Moreover, the legislation would have increased direct spending by $26.8 billion, while generating just $900 million in net revenue. Programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would have been the key cost drivers. The CBO estimated that this would create a $25.9 billion budget deficit over the 2018-2027 period.

Rep. Adam Schiff and Other Democrats Demand Social Media Companies Censor “Misinformation” and “Disinformation” This Month

In the US, the Democrats continue with their sustained efforts to pressure major social media platforms, now about a month ahead of the presidential election.

The Twitter Files give some idea about what may be happening behind closed doors (if previous campaigns/elections are any indication), but this is about public pressure. This time, Congressman Adam Schiff’s turn is to “demand action” from companies behind social media.

Meta (Instagram separately), X, Google (and YouTube separately), TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and Microsoft are the recipients of a letter Schiff signed along with seven fellow members of the House of Representatives (four of them, like Schiff, California Democrats).

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

Comparing Helene To Katrina Suggests Americans Are Left To Die Because Democrats Run The White House 

The devastation wrought across the American Southeast by Category 4 Hurricane Helene last week has naturally drawn comparisons to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina response. As a veteran of military logistics, I can confirm that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ response to this round of mass suffering has been orders of magnitude worse than federal actions taken after Katrina.

In August of 2005, I was a U.S. Army colonel serving on the Army staff in the Pentagon. Before Hurricane Katrina was even nearing landfall, I was detailed as a shift officer in the National Military Command Center (NMCC) for hurricane support operations. As a career logistics officer, this was the culmination of a noncombat mission I had been associated with since I was first commissioned: disaster relief and humanitarian support operations.

From the Yellowstone fires in 1988 while I was a mere first lieutenant, through Hurricane Fran while I was serving on Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty) as a major in the 82nd Airborne Division, through the humanitarian missions the support battalion of the 82nd I commanded in Afghanistan accomplished, and through the many training events and “orders drills” I endured in this arena, this secondary mission of all logisticians was something that defined a substantial part of my military career. As such, I was privileged to be a part of the national support to Katrina.

Despite the misleading media reports of failure, as I served in the NMCC I was enthralled and impressed with the sheer power that was brought to bear by our military to support endangered Americans in Katrina. Nothing feels better than making a difference for your fellow Americans, and as such I (now a long-retired veteran) paid careful attention to Hurricane Helene, anticipating the same robust military and federal support. As you can imagine, I have been grossly disappointed with the delayed and inept nature of the federal response.

Why did this happen? Why did our military — the actual “muscle” of federal disaster response, as FEMA is a mere coordinating staff agency — sit largely on the sidelines for Helene? 

I want to know. I suppose you do too.
