The left’s obsession with Trump never ends.

Democrats have taken their crude and tasteless antics to a new low with the unveiling of a monstrous 43-foot nude statue resembling former President Donald Trump in yet another shameless display of vile disrespect.

Dubbed the “Crooked and Obscene,” this grotesque tribute to the left’s obsession with attacking the Republican frontrunner was erected just outside Las Vegas, ahead of Kamala Harris’ rally, according to TMZ.

The massive foam and rebar construction, weighing an unbelievable 6,000 pounds, was erected over Interstate 15 on the way to Utah as part of the “Crooked and Obscene” tour.

According to the tour’s organizers, per The Wrap, depicting Trump in the nude “is intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures.”

Instead of putting their energy into fixing real issues, the radical left is busy mocking the very man who put America First.

According to Hindustan Times, “The media outlet reported that the foam Trump figure was installed Friday evening and is expected to be up for a while with no expiration date for its showcase in sight. The team responsible for the set-up reportedly went to great lengths to put the arrangement together to incite discussion around the upcoming November election. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a huge shocker if the piece stayed up until the days leading up to Election Day.”

Many Americans have expressed outrage over this offensive display.

One X user wrote, “Absolutely reprehensible to see the left doing this after two attempts have been made on Trump’s life.”

Another infuriated conservative called it a “call for violence against Trump,” adding, “They’re literally hanging him naked. Do this with Harris or Walz and you go to jail. The double standard is absolutely disgusting.”

“They’ll spend time and money on a giant Trump statue just to mock him, but can’t fix real issues facing Americans. It’s pathetic how obsessed they are with him, while Kamala keeps hiding from real debates,” another user wrote.

The responses are rolling in as Americans grow increasingly frustrated with the left’s fixation on Trump instead of focusing on addressing skyrocketing inflation, a porous border, and an administration that continues to fail working families.

“Only the left could think a giant nude statue is a political statement! Trump is still larger than life, literally! Meanwhile, Kamala can’t even find a crowd,” added another user.

A shadow leftist group is committing large-scale voter fraud in Michigan.

The far-left group “The Voter Project Michigan” is sending blank absentee ballot applications to tens of thousands of Michigan voters who did not request them in the mail.

Along with the Michigan ballot application, the recipients receive a message from soulless Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and a letter promoting Democrat causes.

The suspicious far-left group, Voter Project Michigan, does not have a website.

It’s address is listed in the letter as a PO Box:

The Voter Project Michigan
PO Box 205
Dexter, Michigan 48130

Dexter is north-west of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Here is a copy of the letter and ballot sent out by The Voter Project Michigan.

A far-left organization The Voter Project Michigan is sending out ballots with liberal talking points to thousands of voters in Michigan. The ballots were not requested but were sent to thousands of homes anyway. – via No Consensus

No Consensus reported on the scandal after his son received a ballot application in the mail with Gretchen Whitmer’s talking points in an accompanying letter.

I have the goods, again, this time it’s a bit personal. My son just got his drivers license and is off to college. Two days ago we received an absentee ballot application, fully completed in his name, having his address and birthdate filled out. Along with that ballot was a political letter appearing to come from Governor Gretchen Whitmer advertising for Democrat issues. The county only needs to verify the signature to accept any application and may only reject based on the signature as well. You can be certain that almost none of these will ever be rejected.

Michigan State laws prohibit sending campaign materials along with ballot application requests.

MCL 168.759 – Absentee Voting; Application for Ballot; Who May Apply; Time of Application; Instructions for Electors; Request by Mail; Forwarding of Ballot; Duties of Clerk

(1) A qualified and registered elector of this state who is eligible to vote in an election may apply for an absentee voter ballot in person, by mail, or electronically in the manner provided in this section.

(2) The application for an absentee ballot must be signed by the elector and should include the applicant’s address, birth date, and reason for requesting the absentee ballot if requested before the law permitted “no reason” absentee voting. Applications must also include instructions on how to complete the application.

(3) The county, city, or township clerk must supply absentee ballot applications to any voter requesting one. Applications can be submitted to the clerk up to 75 days before the election.

(4) The clerk must ensure that absentee ballot applications do not contain any indication of political party affiliation or preference, and the process for providing absentee ballot applications must remain neutral and free from partisan influence.

(5) Clerks must deliver absentee ballots by mail to electors, and electors may return them via mail or in person. Special provisions are included for delivery and handling.

Read the rest of his amazing report here.

Far-left public radio WCMU in Michigan defended the practice by the radical leftists ruling the state – of course.

As the 2024 general elections inch closer, voters have been receiving 2024 Michigan absentee voter ballot applications from groups unaffiliated with the state or local clerks. While it is legal for such groups to send these, a series of requirements must be met.

The practice is common and often done by non-profits and partisan leaning groups. Voters can fill these out and turn the applications into their local clerk’s office. The ballots must meet a series of requirements to be accepted at a clerk’s office.

According to state law, those who distribute these applications must print on a certification signature box, a legal warning and instructions. Local clerks must match the signatures on the third-party ballots with a signature on file, according to a statement from a spokesperson at the Secretary of State’s office…

…Lux said she was concerned that applications like this might feed into distrust of the voting system. She cited the fact that the mailers appear to be sent en masse, even to voters who are already registered to vote or have moved from the state.

“I personally have received five myself, so I know whoever these organizations are that are sending them out they’re not really looking into who they are sending them to,” she said. “If they were really concentrating on who they’re sending them to, I don’t think they’d be sending them to the Isabella County Clerk.”

Democrats will stop at nothing to rig the upcoming 2024 election and think nothing of it.

Republican vice presidential nominee Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance outside the Primanti Bros restaurant in North Versailles, Pennsylvania after being barred from meeting Trump supporters inside, screen image via Anissa Zappala, X Twitter, September 28, 2024.

Primanti Bros, a Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain, has become the center of a political firestorm after refusing to serve Ohio Senator JD Vance.

The Italian American Civil Rights League (IACRL) is now calling for a nationwide boycott of the restaurant, comparing the incident to the segregationist policies of Jim Crow.

Sen. Vance arrived at the Primanti Bros to greet a group of Trump supporters. However, he was met with resistance from the restaurant’s staff.

An employee informed Vance’s campaign that it was “not a campaign stop” and that “JD’s not allowed in.” According to witnesses, the restaurant manager even threatened to call the police if Vance and his team did not leave.

The situation quickly turned contentious as supporters expressed their frustration, booing employees as they were escorted out of the establishment.

Outside, Vance’s supporters rallied, protesting the treatment of the senator.

Following the incident, the restaurant was being bombarded on Yelp with an overwhelming flood of negative reviews.

Primanti Bros has since issued a statement, attempting to downplay the situation as a misunderstanding. They claim that after an initial moment of confusion, Vance and his team were allowed inside, attributing the tense interaction to nerves from their staff due to the heavy presence of security.

Primanti Bros statement:

Primanti’s prides itself on being a staple of the Pittsburgh community and a proud American business that has hosted sitting presidents, politicians, and political candidates from across the spectrum for over 90 years.

Our doors are open to all patrons who wish to dine with us. Without any advance notice, today’s campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff.

However, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property. Senator Vance’s supportive comments that our manager got a little nervous given the Secret Service, police, and crowd accurately reflect the nature of what occurred, and we are glad that it was resolved quickly.

However, Allegheny County GOP Chairman Sam DeMarco blasted the restaurant’s statement as inaccurate, asserting that Vance was only allowed inside to pay for other patrons’ meals and was never given the chance to fully engage with his supporters inside.

The Italian American Civil Rights League was swift in its condemnation, drawing comparisons between Vance’s treatment and the Jim Crow era, where African Americans were turned away from businesses based on race.

“Primanti Bros has given Italian Americans across this nation a bad name. Their refusal to serve JD Vance this weekend is reminiscent of Jim Crow,” said Mike Crispi, president of the IACRL, adding, “We would like to welcome Senator Vance to a true Italian Sunday Dinner!”

Below is the official statement from IACRL:

The Italian American Civil Rights League Condemns Primanti Bros for Discrimination

The Italian American Civil Rights League today issued a formal condemnation of the Primanti Bros restaurants for their disgraceful lack of hospitality to Senator JD Vance.

“Primanti Bros restaurants refused service to Senator JD Vance for no good reason,” said Mike Crispi, President of the Italian American Civil Rights League. “Sono una vergogna; they are a disgrace!” Crispi was referring to news reports that a Primanti Bros restaurant – one of several in a Pittsburgh-area chain of restaurants – refused to allow Vance to enter and even threatened to call the police if he tried.

“As a people, Italian-Americans are known for our hospitality,” Crispi said. “Primanti Bros tables should always be open to every American regardless of their political beliefs.” Crispi said the actions of Primanti Bros are reminiscent of Jim Crow America when Black Americans were turned away from the Woolworth’s lunch counter simply because of their race.

“Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and the Greensboro Four were heroes for their courageous work uniting Americans in every facet of civil life,” Crispi said. “The IACRL rejects any effort by an Italian-American business to divide and punish Americans for their political beliefs.” Crispi said the Primanti Bros incident is just the latest in a series of exclusionary efforts by corporate conglomerates to bully or threaten friends and staffers of President Trump merely for their political beliefs.

“This all started with Maxine Waters who called on left-wing activists to ‘confront’ Trump supports in restaurants and tell us we’re ‘not welcome anymore, anywhere’,” Crispi said. “Now Primanti Bros has taken it even further saying, ‘No shoes, no shirt, no conservatives’.”

Crispi went on to cite the Red Hen restaurant that denied service to Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

“We can’t allow the behavior of Primanti Bros to leave a bad taste in the mouth of Senator Vance.” Crispi said. “It would be our honor to show him and his staff true Italian American hospitality.”

Crispi the IACRL would organize an authentic Italian-American dinner for Vance as soon as this Tuesday, following his debate in New York City.

Photo courtesy of MSNBC screenshot from YouTube. FULL SPEECH: Biden delivers final U.N. address as President amid global turmoil as election nears, September 25, 2024.

“America is governed by Americans… We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. Around the world, responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty, not just from global governance but also from other new forms of coercion and domination.” — Donald J. Trump, 2018 address at the UN.

In his final address to the UN on September 24, President Biden acknowledged the global challenges: “I recognize the challenges from Ukraine to Gaza to Sudan and beyond: war, hunger, terrorism, brutality, record displacement of people, a climate crisis, democracy at risk, strains within our societies, the promise of artificial intelligence and its significant risks.”

Many of these issues existed before his presidency, while others emerged or worsened during his term. Like the UN, Biden did not resolve any of these problems.

President Trump criticized the United Nations for its ineffectiveness, particularly its inability to prevent wars or make positive global changes.

The United States, historically the largest financial contributor to the UN, has provided nearly 25% of the total funding, including about 25% of the UN peacekeeping budget.

Trump reduced U.S. funding to the organization during his presidency, citing the UN’s poor track record and demanding that other nations step up and take a more proactive role in both peacekeeping and overall contributions.

This decision was part of his broader “America First” approach, which emphasized reducing U.S. involvement in international bodies that he deemed ineffective or unbeneficial to American interests.

Not only did Biden restore U.S. funding to the United Nations, but he touted this increased funding as one of the accomplishments of his administration.

Ironically, he sees giving away free money as an achievement while ignoring the complete failure of the UN.

After four years of the Biden-UN alliance, the number of displaced people in Africa alone has increased by 40%, reaching 45 million. Today, there are 110 active, armed conflicts, resulting in a total of 120 million displaced around the world.

Despite starting his presidency with bold ambitions, framing it as “a battle between democracy and autocracy,” Biden has used the phrase less frequently each year and did not mention it even once during his final UN address.

Four years ago, in an attempt to placate liberals who criticized Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, he vowed to make the Kingdom a pariah state. This promise quickly became one of his major foreign policy blunders, leading to higher oil prices, increased conflicts, and a decline in global security.

Maintaining good relations with Saudi Arabia is essential for the U.S. due to several reasons: energy security, as Saudi Arabia plays a major role in global oil markets; regional stability, where Saudi Arabia is a key player in countering Iran and managing conflicts; counterterrorism cooperation, with Saudi intelligence vital in combating groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS; arms sales, which strengthen economic ties through defense industries; geopolitical influence in the Muslim world; economic cooperation beyond oil, with opportunities in sectors like technology; and strategic military presence, as U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia are crucial for regional operations.

As a result of Biden insulting one of the most crucial U.S. allies in the Middle East, he faced skyrocketing gasoline prices and a surge in conflict across the region.

Hamas and Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel, the Houthis targeted U.S. ships, and Iran ramped up its support for terrorism and destabilization efforts.

Meanwhile, Biden’s friends at the UN were powerless to stop any of it. Trump, on the other hand, knew how to handle autocrats and negotiate with Saudi Arabia to keep oil prices low.

Biden’s weakness only emboldened Iran and its allies to escalate violence. In the end, Biden had to go, hat in hand, to the Saudis, but even then, he couldn’t fix the problems.

The UN, however, issued its usual statements condemning the violence—statements that have so far failed to stop the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran.

In another joint failure, the UN was unable to stabilize Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Biden’s botched withdrawal not only cost American lives but also made the U.S. appear weak on the world stage.

He has also been unable to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, though he remains deeply committed to sending money, with new defense assistance already set in motion just two days after his UN address.

If he is so committed to defending Ukraine and believes the UN is a necessary global peacekeeper, why didn’t he urge the UN to send troops to Ukraine?

This single point underscores both his weakness as a leader and the UN’s complete ineffectiveness, raising the question of why the U.S. should continue funding both the UN and Ukraine.

A Republican who ran against Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has been charged with threatening to assassinate her with a Russian-Ukrainian hit squad.

William Braddock, who ran against Luna in the primary election for Florida’s 13th Congressional District, was arrested in the Philippines after fleeing the country in a bid to evade justice.

The Department of Justice said in a press release:

According to the indictment, William Robert Braddock III, 41, of St. Petersburg, and Victim 1 were candidates in the primary election to represent the 13th Congressional District of Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives. Victim 2 was a private citizen and acquaintance of Victim 1. On June 8, 2021, Braddock made several threats to injure and kill Victim 1 and Victim 2 during a telephone call with Victim 2. Specifically, Braddock threatened, in part, to “call up my Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” and make Victim 1 disappear.

After making the threats, Braddock left the United States and was later found to be residing in the Philippines. Braddock was recently deported from the Philippines to the United States and made his first court appearance yesterday in Los Angeles.

Braddock is charged with one count of interstate transmission of a true threat to injure another person. If convicted, Braddock faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

According to a recording obtained by Politico, Braddock said that although he did not want to kill Luna, he would do so if it were in the best interests of America.

“I really don’t want to have to end anybody’s life for the good of the people of the United States of America. That will break my heart,” he reportedly said. “But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a fucking speed bump in the road. She’s a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”

Luna eventually triumphed in her primary race and was elected to Congress November 2022. Her victory was one of several crucial flips that ultimately gave the Republican Party control of the House of Representatives and she has since staked out a position as one of the most reliably conservative voices in Congress.

Traveling in Europe as an American citizen, one is never far from the echoes of history. I was reminded of this during a weeklong visit last month to four Central and Eastern European nations – the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, and Slovakia. My organization, The Fund for American Studies (TFAS), organized this trip through the heart of Europe to explore relics of the Second World War and Cold War, while also gaining insight on preserving the future of European civilization.

Coinciding with our visit, the 2024 calendar contains many reminders of what Europeans, united in liberty, can accomplish. This November, the continent will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, when Europe was finally free after 28 years of division by the Iron Curtain. This year also saw the 75th anniversary of the founding of NATO—crucial in upholding a shared Atlantic and European commitment to security against encroaching authoritarianism—following the Second World War.

Unfortunately, we’re also reminded that this month marks 85 years since Germany invaded Poland, presaging the future division of Europe, first by the Third Reich and soon after by the Soviet Union. And just like that unwanted reminder of past wars, Europe is once again at risk of democratic decline and creeping statism—two trends we once hoped we’d consigned to the ash heap of history—and in dire need of a rebirth in leadership that turns the continent back towards political and economic freedom.

A recent report by Sweden’s V-Dem Institute outlines these troubling trends. While the report shows that democracy has been in a 15-year retreat against autocracy worldwide—a troubling international trend in its own right—this “democratic backsliding” is actually most stark in Central and Eastern Europe.

In fact, the report now considers countries like Hungary and Serbia to be “electoral autocracies”—places where elections are neither fair nor free, and where fundamental rights like freedom of expression and freedom of association are too weak to promote a free and flourishing society. Other nations like Austria, Slovenia, and Slovakia have also witnessed lesser, but still concerning, democratic declines in just the last three years—after more than 20 years of maintaining strong traditions of political liberty.

Unfortunately, Europe’s uncertain future extends beyond the guarantee of political freedom. The continent also displays less commitment to classically liberal economics than it has over the past decade or longer. As a result, Europe is increasingly at risk of economic stagnation.

The Heritage Foundation’s 2024 Index of Economic Freedom notes that Austria, Slovenia, and Slovakia have all experienced declines in economic liberty in just the last five years. Each is now considered only “moderately free”—far from the level of freedom enjoyed by the U.S. and other nations with strong economies. The Czech Republic, often considered a bright spot in Central Europe, has also experienced a similar decline in economic freedom over the past half-decade.

Such academic studies mirror real-world outcomes. In 2008, the European and U.S. economies were about equally sized. Today, the U.S. economy is almost twice as large. Average European incomes are 27 percent lower than the U.S., and average wages are 37 percent lower. It’s no wonder that the former European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi recently warned that the E.U. is falling behind rivals on economic competitiveness due to Europe’s failure to innovate or train skilled workers.

None of this is to argue that the United States is perfect. We face our own self-inflicted challenges in maintaining the freedoms that have made America what former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright called “the indispensable nation.” Nevertheless, I’d like to think we will continue to set the example with regard to economic freedom and liberty, particularly for our Europe. The economic and political ideals we’ve championed helped reshape a continent and the lives of millions for the better.

Ultimately, my summer trip through Europe was a reminder that history is never really at an end. I spoke with one European official who explained to me that he was a socialist, “because he wanted people to have quality health care, a good education, and decent employment.” I told him those very outcomes were the reasons I rejected socialism and favor economic freedom.

I wish I could say I was optimistic about the future of European liberty. It is likely up to the next generation—many of whom have attended TFAS programs in Prague that have been exposing young people to the ideas of individual rights and economic freedom since 1993—to ensure that Europe’s turn away from liberty is reversed.

If there is another debate, it won’t be for a few weeks or so, leaving you, Trump, plenty of time to tidy up some of the missed opportunities from the first round with Kamala. Try some of these ideas. They’ll work on the trail, too.

For any of Kamala’s new programs under her “opportunity economy,” such as tax cuts for small businesses and a measly $25,000 for first-time home buyers (the average house costs $412,000, so Kamala’s offer is only about half of the down payment in many places. Try things in California where the average housing cost is $793,000), punch back with this: “You’ve had three years. Why haven’t you just done it?” Follow-up: “And how are you going to pay for that? With tax increases on the middle class?”

One of your most effective points in the first debate was in your closing statement, when you asked Kamala why she did not initiate any of her special programs as vice president. The question should next time be aimed directly at her, as it puts her in a real bind; either she can admit that, as VP, she did very little, or throw Joe under the bus and claim he stymied her initiatives. It is a win-win for you.

In addition, the question drives home the larger point of tying Kamala to the Biden administration. Harris needs badly to show something to the public to give them a reason to think she would be different than the last four years. She is desperate not to run as the pseudo-incumbent, all that “turn the page” and call for change stuff she borrows from Obama 2008, and you should be equally desperate to hold her to what has and has not taken place these last four years. Remind the public the Biden-Harris administration created all the major issues raised (economy, immigration) during the previous debate.

On the economy, remind people food prices rose 5.3 percent under your administration while in Biden’s first three years food prices increased, conservatively, by a whopping 20.3 percent.

Almost half of Americans think the U.S. economy is in a worse state now than it was when Biden-Harris took office in January 2021. The Census Bureau released an update earlier this month on income, poverty, and health insurance in the United States. Income-wise, many Americans were still not better off than they were in the last pre-pandemic year, 2019, nor necessarily even than they were in 2020. In the latest Times/Siena poll, Harris trailed you by 13 points on the economy, the issue that matters most to voters. It’s one of the main reasons why she’s tied and not ahead of you in the race overall.

So create a simple app that calculates what groceries would have cost four years ago. People plug in their current register tape numbers and are told what a similar basket of goods would have cost under your administration.

It actually looks like someone had once done most of the heavy lifting on this one already. One of your official Super PACs launched a website (now defunct) named “Biden-Mart” that let users compare Trump-era grocery prices to current costs under Joe Biden’s administration.

Biden-Mart.com, published by the Make America Great Again Inc. PAC, featured an interactive grocery checklist encouraging users to “check off the items… to compile your weekly grocery list and see how much more expensive your bill has become under Joe Biden.” There were over two dozen common food staples to choose from, including coffee, dairy products, and a variety of different fruits and vegetables. For example, a two-pound bag of apples, two pounds of ground beef, seven lemons, one gallon of milk, and one pound of sugar and coffee each totaled $30.07 — a killer 57.1 percent increase from the $19.14 it cost during your administration. Egg prices remain 72 percent higher today than when Biden entered office in early 2021. Biden-Mart used data mostly from the United States Department of Agriculture so it should be relatively quick to reconstruct the app.

It will remind people during your first three years in office, food prices rose by 5.3 percent as wages soared past them at 12.7 percent growth. Wages have not kept up with food prices during Biden-Harris. It is one thing to talk about inflation as this percentage or that, quite another to reach into a voter’s pantry and hit them with a specific dollar amount.

As even the Harris-favoring New York Times wrote, “Optimistic words and some admirable proposals aren’t enough to overcome the discontent and anger that a large majority of Americans feel about the economy.” Harris word-checks “freedom” with abandon, but never mentions freedom from debt, from living paycheck-to-paycheck because of inflationary practices under Biden-Harris. Harris, as vice president, cast the tie-breaking vote for the measure economists point to as the cause of inflation—the ironically named “Inflation Reduction Act.” Remind the people they deserve better.

The Biden-Harris administration admitted some 21 million aliens, dramatically more than under the Vietnam War evacuation and the Mariel Boatlift combined. Will you, Kamala, admit another 21 million under a Harris administration? Talk about what that number means; in 2021, there were around only 3.66 million live births in the United States.

Focus on narrative, personal stories about ordinary Americans unfairly burdened by unchecked migration. Never mind the dogs and cats; Springfield, Ohio, a semi-rural town of only some 60,000 people, ended up playing host to 15,000 Haitian immigrants. They overwhelmed the city’s medical and social services systems to the point where the governor had to send in state troopers and millions of dollars as a palliative. The poverty rate for the city is 22.7 percent, well-above the state average of 13.4 percent. Fatal car accidents in Springfield increased fourfold last year, due to a surge of Haitian migrants unfamiliar with American driving rules.

Or mention the slaughterhouses and meat packing plants that employ migrant children. Talk about individual victims of migrant street crime in New York City, showing photos of a zombie Midtown overtaken by the homeless and drug users. The latter ties also in Harris’s time as a prosecutor and attorney general in California where, same as in New York, many criminals who should have been taken off the street were given bail or simply released in the wake of “woke” law enforcement post-Floyd.

Whenever possible, follow Ronald Reagan, who at the close of his 1980 debate against President Jimmy Carter, asked simply, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” It is a rare American who will be able to answer unequivocally “yes.” The ones who say “no” are likely to be among middle-of-the-roaders who can swing your way in November.

The post A Pre-Debate Letter to Donald Trump appeared first on The American Conservative.

Donald Trump is a great world leader with a wonderful sense of humor, but he knows that geopolitics are a consequential thing that he tackles with due seriousness – and unlike the worst VP in American history Kamala Harris, he is not in the habit of making a fool of himself.

So when Cackling Harris ridiculously claims that world leaders are ‘laughing’ at Trump, it reveals a lot about herself.

Sure enough, Foreign ministers from European nations with close U.S. ties immediately reacted to her comment, dismissing it.

During the presidential debate, Harris said  that World leaders ‘are laughing at Donald Trump’. ‘I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked with you, and they say you’re a disgrace’.

But when asked about this absurd quote, foreign ministers that are in attendance dismissed any preference, and made it clear that they will work with whomever wins.

Fox News reported:

“‘We are friends of America’, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said, noting Italy and the U.S. are ‘two sides of the same coin’. ‘If Trump will be the new president of America, we will work with him as we worked with him when he was president of America. We worked well with Biden, with Bush, with Reagan, with Clinton, with Obama’, Tajani added. ‘For us, the transatlantic relations are the key strategy of our foreign policy, Europe and America’.”

Foreign minister for the Czech Republic, Jan Lipavsky stressed that he would not interfere in the election, saying ‘leave it to the American citizens to decide’.

But he could not help but stress Trump’s ‘strong’ message of defense spending, one he hopes Europe would continue to embrace.

“‘The point is that Donald Trump had, at his time, one strong message for Europe, and that message was quite resonating and is resonating more now because he was saying spend more on your defense’, Lipavsky said. ‘My government is spending more on our defense. We want to reach those 2% of GDP, will be reaching them this year, and we will continue next year. So, (if) Donald Trump would be a president with this message, ‘Please spend 2%,” we would be OK’.”

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that that the long relationship between the countries ‘is more than politics’.

NATO countries are well aware that before the Trump administration, only a few members of NATO spent the mandatory 2% of GDP on defense.

That number rose sharply due to Trump’s forceful stance over the issue – that’s no laughing matter.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has reported that now, 23 of the 32 member states have hit the minimum 2% spending requirement. That’s serious progress.

But of course, no European nation has praised the success of Trump’s first term – and expressed hopes for a strong second term – as has Hungary.

According to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó, his government has ‘huge expectations’ for a new Trump administration.

“‘We have huge expectations because we do believe that many of the major crises which give us a lot of concern can be resolved by an administration of President Trump’, Szijjártó said, noting he speaks as the longest-serving foreign minister in NATO with 10 years under his belt.

“‘I didn’t really see anyone laughing at Trump’, Szijjártó said. ‘What I’ve seen many having fear. I’ve seen many being afraid of a U.S. president being honest, not a hostage by the liberal mainstream, representing a patriotic position, speaking clearly about America first’.

‘Under President Trump, everything was under control’, Szijjártó said. ‘Since President Trump has left office, the whole global security situation is deteriorating. So, I mean, these are experiences. If we base it on our experience, we say yes, from a perspective of U.S.-Hungary relations, I think President Trump would bring another impetus, freshness, dynamism to this relationship. And I think if President Trump is elected, I think the world has a good chance to become a more peaceful place compared to the current situation’.”

A taxpayer-funded food pantry in Minnesota has come under fire after it was revealed that the owner attempted to block white people from accessing the resources.

Mykela ‘keiko’ Jackson opened a pantry on July 27th using funds the obtained through a Minnesota State grant, for the purpose of feeding poor and hungry residents near the Sanctuary Covenant Church. However, the pantry was forced to relocate after a church chaplain filed a complaint over Jackson allegedly discouraging white people from using the service.

Chaplain Howard Dotson, 54, told Alpha News that he had stopped by the pantry for himself, but was denied service due to being a white male.

Dotson took photos of a sign that Jackson had on the pantry door that read, ‘The resources found here are for Black and Indigenous Folx. Please refrain from taking anything if you’re not.’ He also reported the incident to the Minneapolis Civil Rights Commission.

”This is not building community, its destroying it,” he told Alpha News. “I went over there and confronted her. I told her that I saw the sign and I asked if she really thought she could take grant money from the state and discriminate against poor white people.”

According to the DailyMail, Jackson addmitted to hanging the sign, but claims that she did not turn anyone away. She then accused the chaplain of ‘political violence’.

”There was no one there directly turning them away. They felt entitled to the resources that were not for their demographic – white priviledge is real,” she said.

In a social media post announcing the pantry’s relocation, Jacosn referred to the chaplain as a “karen”, blaming him for the discrimination he faced from her policy.

“It has been recently brought to our attention that our partnership with Sanctuary Church may not be fully aligned with our mission due to a recent ‘Karen’ last week,” Jackson wrote.

“Although the curch likes our concept they feel our commitment towards directing these resources towards Black and Indigenous families ONLY is exclusionary to other POC & White members of the community that use their establishement.”

The DailyMail reported that the Sanctuary Covenant Church has since stated that they felt misled by Jackson’s original proposal. They have asked her to either open her services to all members of the community or relocate.

Jackson refused to accommodate and later stated in her post that the pantry would be relocating to the F.T.P Bodega, claiming that the new venue is more “aligned” with Jackson’s discriminatory beliefs.

On Saturday, Hollywood leading man Zachary Levi endorsed former President Donald Trump at a pro-Trump rally in Dearborn, Michigan.

The rally was part of the Reclaim America Tour featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, who both endorsed Trump in recent months.

Levi is no Hollywood lightweight.

The actor has starred in massively successful films such as Disney’s “Tangled” and Warner Bros./DC’s “Shazam!”

Videos of Levi’s endorsement of Trump quickly went viral online.

The following clip, for example, has garnered 5.5 million views on X as of Sunday.

“I’m not gonna take too much time, but I did just wanna just give you a little context about why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these various things,” Levi said, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“I grew up in my family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in.”

My parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.”

Levi previously endorsed Kennedy Jr., though once the Democrat-turned-independent dropped out of the race himself to endorse Trump, Levi’s endorsement shifted as well.

It appears that Gabbard and Kennedy Jr.’s endorsements and involvement with the Trump campaign convinced Levi to shift his support.

“We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again,” Levi said.

“And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there.”

And he’s gonna get us there because he’s gonna have the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge and the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr. and former representative Tulsi Gabbard.”

Heading into the November election, polling between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump has been neck and neck.

At this point in the race, it’s quite likely that every endorsement matters.
