In [last week’s] vice presidential debate, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance brought up the U.S. Customs and Border Protection app called CBP One. He said:
“So, there’s an application called the CBP One app where you can go [and] apply for asylum, or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. … That is the facilitation of illegal immigration.”
As you can imagine, this statement caused apoplexy among mainstream media fact-checkers.… Continue Reading

On Labor Day, the traditional start of fall election campaigns, Real Clear Politics gave Kamala Harris a lead of 1.8 points in the national polls. On the same date in 2020, Joe Biden had a 7.2 point lead. On the same date in 2016, Hillary Clinton had a 4.1 point lead.
While this appears to be comforting news, the three races were different because the first two races had October Surprises that favored Donald J.… Continue Reading

The lies were thick and fast all week at the Democratic National Convention, but never so blatantly as they were in Vice President Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech.
The Democratic presidential nominee accused her opponent, former President Donald Trump, of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare (he has not); being weak on border enforcement (he had it under control before President Biden and Ms. Harris took office) and sending an “armed mob” to the Capitol on Jan.… Continue Reading

In 2008, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama said he wasn’t surprised that people from “small towns in Pennsylvania, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, clung to [their] guns or religion.” This wasn’t a compliment. He thought those people were “weird.”
In 2016, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the same group of people Mr. Obama disparaged a “basket of deplorables,” She went on to say we were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic [and] you name it,” just plain “weird.”… Continue Reading

Last Tuesday, a remarkable thing happened.
Under a split screen of photos of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, a message appeared during a Fox News story about Mr. Trump’s arraignment over documents found in the FBI’s raid on his Florida home. In all caps, it said:
“WANNABE DICTATOR SPEAKS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AFTER HAVING HIS POLITICAL RIVAL ARRESTED.”
Well, yes. What sounds like The Babylon Bee is exactly what’s happened.… Continue Reading

How many voters know that the Democratic Party supports legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy on demand for virtually any reason? How many voters know this position aligns with only six other countries in the world — three of them, not incidentally, being North Korea, Vietnam and China?
How many voters know that Democrats want to pass a federal law banning states from stopping sex-selective abortions or the dismembering of the post-viable unborn or the requirement of parental and guardian notification for minors before getting abortions?… Continue Reading

Sebastian Gorka Explains the Electoral Phenomenon of Donald J. Trump
J.D. Vance was born in 1984 in Middletown, Ohio, where his grandparents had moved two generations prior and found gainful employment with the American Rolling Mill Company, commonly called Armco Steel. Decent wages enabled them work their way toward a comfortable life, one very different, materially, from the dirt-poor subsistence they’d left in the hills of Jackson, Kentucky. In Middletown, people could make ends meet, raise a family, and still have a little extra to spend come Christmas time.… Continue Reading
