WATCH: The Look on Kamala's Face When the Teleprompter Goes Out at Labor Event in Flint, MI
She started talking about Magic Johnson's number being 32 and then said there are 32 days until the election. - Nick Arama
But perhaps the funniest -- and most revealing moment -- during her remarks in Flint was this one when the teleprompter went out. She started talking about Magic Johnson's number being 32 and then said there are 32 days until the election.
- Harris tried to mock Trump in a truly cringe moment while talking about "concepts of a plan," despite the fact that she's the one who hasn't been clear about her own "plans."
- Check out this cringe-a-rama:
- Check out the look on her face -- you can see the moment that it happened, and then the desperate "filler" words as she waited for it to come back:
Secret Service Makes Telling Move as Trump Returns to Site of Near-Assassination, Proving They Lied to America
Secret Service Makes Telling Move as Trump Returns to Site of Near-Assassination, Proving They Lied to America:
Former President Donald Trump returned to the site of his near-assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday to hold a much-anticipated rally for supporters.
This marks the first time Trump has returned to Butler since would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks shot him on July 13. Though Trump escaped with his life, one rally-goer — firefighter Corey Comperatore — did not.
Videos from Saturday’s rally highlight the Secret Service’s July 13 security failures, especially those showing exactly where it has chosen to station Secret Service counter snipers this time.

It’s time to abolish FEMA
Rather than add to the chorus of criticism, here is a proposed solution for FEMA’s recurring history of incompetence: abolish FEMA and remove the federal government from the picture except as the funding authority. - Paul Bosakowski
- When Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast recently, horror stories of ineptitude by federal government agencies abounded.
- Slow response, permission paperwork, turf battles, bureaucratic regulations, and shocking incompetence were evident (see, e.g., here, here, and here), especially by the Transportation Department and by FEMA. Repeats of Lahaina and East Palestine.
Rather than add to the chorus of criticism, here is a proposed solution for FEMA’s recurring history of incompetence: abolish FEMA and remove the federal government from the picture except as the funding authority.
The practical effect would be to put the money where it helps (not into another federal agency)...
Remember media reportage of Katrina! What the left calls "news" is never fact-checked!-----As Trump makes false claims about hurricane relief, White House calls it ‘poison’ - The Washington Post
Former president Donald Trump doubled down on misinformation about Hurricane Helene in an appearance in this storm-ravaged state Friday, repeating the falsehood that the White House used disaster funds for migrants.
- Speaking at a news conference after a state disaster briefing, Trump again falsely said the U.S. government is unable to fund the storm response because it used the money on people “who came into the country illegally” — claims that the White House slammed in a memo Friday as “poison.”...
- The White House warned Friday that the falsehoods could keep hurricane victims from seeking the assistance they critically need, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency launched an anti-rumor tool that counters Trump’s claims.
- The Biden administration said in its memo — which did not name Trump but included a headline that did — that Republicans are spreading “bald-faced lies” about the hurricane response and are “using Hurricane Helene to lie and divide us.”...
The cost of public schooling demands that Christians answer this important question | Blaze Media
The cost of public schooling demands that Christians answer this important question | Blaze Media:
Since its birth, the modern public education system has been a seedbed of naturalistic secularism. With this foundation, it is no surprise that schools often lean heavily toward progressive, leftist ideals. Karl Marx said, “The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother’s care, shall be in state institutions.” This is a recurring theme among secularists who view the human as a tabula rasa, or blank slate. Education and proper conditioning are their guides to achieving paradise.
Even if you don’t buy the premise above, it is undeniable that public schools have been a battleground for the left to promote its progressive views on gender and sexuality. What is a woman? What is a little boy? Who are you to tell your child that God made him male and that wearing dresses while in school, without the consent or knowledge of his parents, is unacceptable?
Newsweek Discovers a New Pathology on the Right: Right-Leaning Men Have a "New Obsession," and It's Hot Girls With Nice Bodies and Conventional Good Looks!
How Hot Girls Became the Right's New Obsession- Ace of Spades HQ
Could it be this New Obsession in fact goes back several million years -- rooted in the most primitive Patriarchy of the pre-Stone-Age?!
No matter when this Completely-New Obsession started, it's an exciting new opportunity to probematize, pathologize, and demonize normal sexually-healthy men for being normal sexually-healthy men.
How Hot Girls Became the Right's New Obsession
The left thinks that the right's sexual preferences are political constructs for the reason that the left's (stated) sexual preferences are all political constructs.
More projection than the Ziegfield Theater. (Where I saw The Phantom Menace. It wasn't great.)
It all began with Sydney Sweeney's cleavage.
Most important movements do begin there.
In March, the 27-year-old actress hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, wearing low-cut outfits during the start and close of the show, which featured a number of jokes about her physical appearance, including a sketch where she played a Hooters waitress...

Biden 'Photo Op' Disrupted Helene Relief, Grounded Aircrafts with Emergency Supplies: Rescue Mission Volunteer
Biden 'Photo Op' Disrupted Helene Relief, Grounded Aircrafts with Emergency Supplies: Rescue Mission Volunteer:
In fact, according to the Special Forces operator, the president directly impeded rescue efforts to take a “photo op.”
“There was a ‘No Fly’ when the president flew in today,” Kennedy told Fox News’ “The Bottom Line” on Wednesday. “We had to land helicopters to not go rescue people so a photo op could take place.”
Fight to save signatures from extinction as teachers warn millions of kids can't sign their name anymore | Daily Mail Online
The art of the traditional signature is becoming a thing of the past thanks to the rise of online contracts, e-signatures and PIN numbers. - Nikki Main

When Is Blowing Up the World A Success? - Victor Davis Hanson
Recently, Secretary of State Antony Blinken bragged in an op-ed that “The Biden administration's strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago.” What? - Dean Cain reposted - Victor Davis 
This is the latest campaign fantasy narrative also served up by Harris-Walz—analogous to the four-year untruth that “the border is secure” and “the economy is strong”—as they try to explain why the world utterly blew up on their watch and due to their own actions.
And the mythologies continue...
- I suppose Blinken defines “a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago”, as believing the Putin 2022 invasion of Ukraine was preferable to him keeping inside his borders during the Trump administration.
- Did lifting the Trump terrorist designation of the Houthis, scuttling the Abraham Accords, and Biden’s campaign demagoguing the Saudis as a “pariah” all lead to a calmer Red Sea?
- Did restoring fungible funds to the West Bank and Gaza terrorists and tunnel builders ensure there would not be an October 7?
- Perhaps lifting sanctions on Iran, resulting in a $100-billion oil revenue windfall to Tehran, or arranging a payment to the theocracy of some $6 billion to return hostages, or begging Iran to reenter the Iran Deal, all meant that Iran so far has only sent 500 ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles into Israel?
- Did the humiliating 2021 retreat from Afghanistan discourage Putin to keep out of Ukraine? Maybe abandoning $50 billion in American munitions and supplies to the Taliban terrorists scared Vladimir Putin, Jinping Xi, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei into their current supposed nonaggression?...READ ALL!!

Fox News host goes scorched earth on White House reporters for not asking Biden about hurricane victims * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"It is still dire circumstances there, and Mike, worth pointing out when that White House press briefing was happening, what the opportunity was that those journalists had to ask questions of the president, I didn't any hear questions about the storm damage or the relief efforts. There are people who are still stranded in their homes right now," Smith said.
Hurricane Helene Illuminates the Logic of AM Radio in Cars — and Congress Seems To Be Getting the Message
With overwhelming bipartisan support, the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act is speeding toward passage...when a disaster like Hurricane Helene cuts off other means of communication...
The legislation has been gaining momentum since Ford, Tesla, and others found that AM reception interferes with EVs...
The digital revolution has driven radios from homes, and most of those that remain require power or run on batteries that are among the first items to disappear from shelves in a crisis.
An automobile’s radio, however, runs as long as there’s fuel in the tank or an EV has charge...
Good Samaritan Pilot Sounds Alarm After He Was Forced to Leave Helene Victim on Mountain Under Threat of Arrest
Good Samaritan Pilot Sounds Alarm After He Was Forced to Leave Helene Victim on Mountain Under Threat of Arrest:
A South Carolina man who volunteered to make flights in his helicopter to rescue victims of Hurricane Helene says he was threatened with arrest if he did not abandon a man he tried to save.
The incident took place on Sunday, Sept. 28, pilot Jordan Seidhom told the Queen City News, as he and his son, Landon, were on their second day of rescue efforts.
Near Lake Lure, North Carolina, they found a stranded couple. The plan was simple. Seidhom would take Susan Coffey first, then return for her husband, Mike, and finally return for his son, because the chopper only had room for one person plus the pilot.
