Kamala's Bizarre Interview With Howard Stern Laughably Goes Off Rails When She Talks About 'Weakness'

By Nick Arama | RedState.com

Kamala Harris did an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday. 

Once upon a time, Howard Stern was anti-establishment and funny. But now he's all in with the powers that be and that's a sad comment on him. Then, too, he's always had issues with taste and saying things that were offensive, including to women. Yet that didn't seem to stop Kamala Harris from going on his show. 

Harris went on "The View" earlier, and that was a disaster, with her admitting she wouldn't do anything different from Joe Biden. 

Stern made it clear he supported her and wasn't even going to begin to be objective. It wasn't an interview; it was an effort to help her. I spoke about Jimmy Kimmel's "interview" of Tim Walz being a sycophantic slobberfest. This interview was even worse. 

Howard's first question was ridiculous: Did she nap? He explained he was disturbed that SNL made fun of her on Saturday. He didn't want that because there was "too much at stake." He said he wanted this to go "well for her." 

The second question was Howard asking if she liked the Prince soundtrack for the first Michael Keaton "Batman" movie that came out 35 years ago, according to journalist Joe Concha. Really getting to the heart of the election issues. 

But that's about how it continued, with Howard spewing vitriol at Trump and Trump supporters. He filled in most of the time, ranting, saying things like he doesn't understand "how this election is close." He asked Harris if she would leave the country if Trump won. He was just completely whacked out. 

Stern bizarrely claimed Harris was the "law and order candidate." 

Um, this is the same woman who allowed a record number of people to enter our country illegally. This is a woman who promoted a bail fund for people arrested during the BLM riots in Minnesota. This is a woman who has chanted "Down, down with deportation" and has attacked ICE.

Hey, at least Howard did ask the important McDonald's question, and even with a guy bending over to help her, she couldn't make it sound any more true this time, either. This time, she even said that "Dougie" had worked at McDonald's and had been "employee of the month." Then she said more about "doing fries."

Again she offered no proof, and people who actually have worked at McDonald's said that isn't how it works. So she didn't convince anyone. 

But perhaps the most incredible thing that she said was when she called President Donald Trump "weak." 

"I can be much more articulate than what I am going to say," Harris said. 

"Ultimately I do believe that this is an election that is about strength versus weakness. And weakness as projected by someone who puts himself in front of the American people and does not have the strength to stand --  in defense of their needs, their dreams and their desires. The work that must happen to make sure we are a secure nation, that we are nurturing and protecting our alliances around the world, that we are supporting America's military, that we are fighting to bring the costs of living down for American families."

She's ducked interviews until recently, she still refuses to answer a lot of questions about what she will do, and hasn't gone on anything but friendly outlets. She's failed at everything she's supposed to have done for the past four years. So imagine her talking about anyone else's weakness when she's the epitome of weakness. 

Moreover, how dare she talk about Trump? The guy who took a bullet and then had the strength to stand, even in the face of that, with blood streaming down his face, fist pumping, saying, "Fight, fight, fight!" because his first thought was to let the people who would be concerned know he was okay, so they wouldn't worry. He stood even in the face of gunfire. That's strength. That's courage that Kamala will never know or understand. And what's amazing is that the audience, largely, were transfixed, not running, but fixed on his safety as well. That was courage, too. 

Trump even went back to the place of the attempt on his life to finish the rally that people wanted to see. He honored his supporters who had been hurt and Corey Comperatore, who had been killed. He spoke about how important it was to win to defend the rights of the American people. 

Harris has done nothing to make us a "secure nation" -- she's done the opposite. She just threw Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu under the bus, refusing to even call him an ally. So much for alliances. And the rise in prices is directly related to her voting to pass legislation that helped to make inflation worse. 

Harris is literally everything she is complaining about, and that's why we need to "turn the page" from her.

NY Times: Arab Americans in Michigan Turning Their Backs on Kamala Harris

By John Sexton | HotAir.com

Over the weekend I wrote about recently hints that the Harris campaign might be in trouble in Michigan, a swing state they need to win next month. One of the issues that has Democrats in the state feeling nervous is the ongoing Israeli-Hamas war. As one Lebanese activist told Reuters, Harris was going to lose a lot of votes over the Biden administration's stance.

"Harris is going to lose Michigan," said Ali Dagher, a Lebanese American attorney and community leader. "I will not be voting for Kamala Harris. No one I know will vote for her. I cannot find a single person in the community who supports her."

Today, the NY Times has a follow-up article which seems to confirm all of these concerns are very real. Harris is in real trouble in the state, at least among Arab American voters. Some are turning to Trump and others to third party candidates, but they are ruling out voting for Harris. [emphasis added]

“I personally don’t know anyone who would vote for Harris,” said Imam Hassan Qazwini, who founded the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights and said that he planned to vote third party this year after supporting Mr. Biden in 2020 in his personal capacity. Initially, he said, many Muslims hoped that Vice President Kamala Harris would “show some even-handedness and fairness in handling the conflict. But unfortunately, that was wishful thinking.”...

The discontent is palpable on the ground in Michigan, which has more than 300,000 residents with Middle Eastern or North African ancestry, though high-quality polling on Arab American and Muslim voters is scant. In nearly two dozen interviews this weekend with a range of these voters across levels of religious observance and familial countries of origin, just two said they were voting for her...

“Most people that I know are either third-party or Trump,” said Fatima Klait, 25, a nurse who lives in Dearborn and said she intended to vote third-party after backing Mr. Biden in 2020. “I would rather have us not be involved in Israel whatsoever. But I do believe that Trump would do less damage overseas.”...

“He cares more about what’s going on in America,” said Mr. Beydoun, who said he supported Mr. Biden in 2020 but was now backing Mr. Trump. “The Democratic Party seems to care more about what’s going on in other countries versus their own people.”

 The comments on this story are full of Democrats outraged that anyone would consider voting for Trump no matter what Harris does. But none of that rage is going to matter to these voters in Michigan. 

Abbas Alawieh, a Dearborn Democratic strategist and one of the co-founders of the “uncommitted movement," backed Biden in 2020. But earlier this year, he and other organizers successfully secured more than 100,000 “uncommitted” votes in the Michigan primary to protest Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza...

“This is a grieving community. So, for us to give guidance to vote for Kamala Harris, when she is part of the administration that's actively killing their family members, it's like giving a campaign speech at a funeral.”

Again, not everyone who is turned off by Harris is going to vote for Trump, but it could contribute to a distinct lack of enthusiasm for Harris which could make a big difference in a state where a few thousand votes could determine the outcome. Some of these voters might just feel more comfortable with the GOP message.

Saeed Khan, an associate professor of Near Eastern and Asian Studies at Wayne State University, said Muslim and Arab voters were drifting toward Trump in 2016, and some continue to do so today, not only because of a push away from Democrats, but also a pull toward the Republican Party’s values. Many Arabs and Muslims, immigrant Muslims, voted for the Republican ticket at least until September 11 and then started to move toward the Democratic Party.

“The Republican message of self-reliance, smaller government or less government intrusion, lower taxes, social conservatism really appealed to many, especially immigrant Muslims and Arabs, because it epitomized the American Dream that they had internalized,” Khan said.

This race is looking razor thin. Recent polls have gone both ways with some showing a slight edge for Trump and others a slight edge for Harris. All of the recent polls are within the margin of error. As CNN points out, Harris has almost no chance of winning this election if she loses Michigan. This is make or break.

One Year Later: The Oct. 7 Atrocities Triggered Heinous Global Antisemitism

By Catherine Salgado | PJ Media.com

A year after the unspeakably heinous massacre Hamas perpetrated on Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, governments and governmental entities, not to mention hundreds of institutions, are demanding that Israel surrender much of its land to the terrorists and stop defending itself. Most of the world did not learn the tragic lesson of Oct. 7 and is directly or indirectly encouraging Islamic terrorists toward a second Holocaust.

On Oct. 7, 2023, women were raped to death, whole families gunned down, babies beheaded or burned to death, innocents kidnapped, civilians tortured, and wholesale slaughter and sexual violence from Hamas. Over 1,200 Israelis were killed. What did most of the world learn? Nothing. The neo-Nazis have risen again.

The United Nations (whose UNRWA employees participated in the Oct. 7 atrocities) is insanely demanding that Israel give much of its territory to the Hamas-run Gazans. The Biden-Harris administration (especially Kamala Harris) continues to spout Hamas propaganda and undermine Israel. Students and Muslim migrants join hands and destroy property in solidarity with the Palestinian jihadis. Media outlets repeat “casualty numbers” and anti-Israel propaganda straight from Hamas. All the empathy is for the jihadis and their supporters who celebrated the Oct. 7 atrocities.

Even as antisemitic acts and attacks have shot up worldwide, even as Israeli civilians and soldiers are still under constant attack from Hamas and Hezbollah, the pro-Hamas mob has hijacked the Oct. 7 anniversary! How could this happen less than a century after the Holocaust and less than a year after Oct. 7, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust?

Oh, some of these world leaders pay lip service to helping Israel but only occasionally and insincerely. Biden released a statement mourning the Oct. 7 massacre today, but he has also poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Hamas-run Gaza (including a new massive payout), held up arms shipments to Israel, and ignored the majority of Gazans’ love of jihad and genocidal hatred of Israel to demand more concessions for them. 

Likewise, French President Emmanuel Macron issued a message claiming, “We do not forget the victims” of Oct. 7, a couple of days after he called for a halt on arms deliveries to Israel. Even UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, soon after demanding Israel surrender much of its land and while ignoring how his terrorism-infested UNRWA still assists Hamas, posted a message condemning the October 7 massacre. Of course, he also took the opportunity to whine about Israel’s war on Gazan and Lebanese terrorists.

The Palestinians and their terrorist leaders are very open about their goals of wanting to wipe Israel off the map. They don’t want a “two-state solution” — after all, they were already given their own state decades ago (Jordan) — they want to destroy Israel. Their children are taught to glorify terrorism and, as Hamas co-founder’s son Mosab Hassan Yousef warned, the majority of Palestinians support genocidal ethnic cleansing against Jews — after all, the Islamic religion endorses jihad. Yet Biden and numerous other world leaders completely ignore those facts to demand increasing concessions from Israel, the world’s one Jewish nation facing off against the hatred of 50 Muslim nations.

You would think Westerners would cheer the Jews for reclaiming their land, their ancient nation, from foreign occupiers after thousands of years, but unfortunately, we have witnessed the exact opposite reaction. Even more insanely, woke leftists and some conservatives flip reality on its head by falsely claiming that the Arabs are the indigenous people and the Jews are the occupiers.

God promised the land of Israel to Abraham’s descendants “forever” (Genesis 13:15), but both the Muslim world and the West are doing their level worst to defy God and undermine Israel.

We must pray that Israel stands strong and that America will soon have a new president, pro-Israel Donald Trump, so that the next anniversary of Oct. 7 will be not only a remembrance of the victims and hostages but a celebration of hostages rescued and Israel triumphant over it enemies. Am Yisrael Chai! The people of Israel live!

Public Sector Booms

By John Hinderaker | Powerline

But something else is going on here, too. Zerohedge points out that this month’s supposedly positive numbers are driven by an explosion in government workers:

The answer, ironically, was in the number of government workers, which exploded higher, and were not only instrumental in pushing the Household Survey print much higher, but meant the difference between a 4.1% and 4.5% unemployment rate.

Here is what happened.

In September, the number of government workers as tracked by the Household Survey soared by 785K, from 21.421 million to 22.216 million, both seasonally adjusted (source: Table A8 from the jobs report). This was the biggest monthly surge in government workers on record (excluding the outlier print in June 2020 which was a reversal of the record plunge from the Covid collapse months before).

While government workers soared by the most on record, private workers rose by just 133K, a far more believable number, and one which however would indicate that the recent labor market malaise continues.

This simple chart shows how the currently-reported unemployment rate would be different if we took out the new taxpayer-funded jobs:

Zerohedge notes that there is something funny going on with the seasonal adjustment of government employment, which always surges in September as schools get back in session. But the basic point is more fundamental. Statistical manipulation aside–and it seems clear that the government has been manipulating government numbers to try to help the party of government–an increase in public sector workers has nothing to do with a strong economy, and is nothing to celebrate. On the contrary.

Will the Biden/Harris administration’s statistical manipulations help to drag the bedraggled Kamala Harris and Tim Walz across the finish line? I doubt it. This is just more gaslighting: don’t believe your lying eyes, believe what the Party tells you! That may work with a depressing number of suburban wine moms, but they can’t sell it to the millions who can’t afford groceries and gasoline.

Governments are the greediest institutions in our society. The fact that greedy governments are sucking up ever more resources, and hiring ever more like-minded employees, is nothing for the rest of us to celebrate.

More Compelling Moments From Butler: Trump With Comperatore Family, Meeting Elon, and a Paramedic's Words

By Nick Arama | RedState.com

Former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to finish the rally that was interrupted by an attempted assassin's bullets. 

We reported earlier how they were giving special recognition of Corey Comperatore, who was killed during that attempt in July. They put his firefighter jacket and flowers in the place he had been sitting, in remembrance of him.

You might imagine that it would be big, with a lot of people turning out to support Trump, to stand with him against such evil. There are thousands in attendance including X owner Elon Musk. According to a report, the size of the crowd even before Trump shows up is massive.

"Not sure total crowd size but it might be largest I’ve ever seen. Most folks I spoke with in the crowd said Trump is here to finish what he started," NBC reporter Jake Traylor reported on his X account..

Trump landed, and the first people he greeted there were the family of Corey Comperatore -- his wife and two daughters.

Some of the people speaking at the rally had a hand in trying to help on that day in July, including the paramedic who helped Trump.

She spoke of hearing Trump speak to his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. What she saw on that day was a man who, in the aftermath of "one of the most terrifying experiences of his life, showed resiliency": 

He showed strength and courage. He showed that his family was at the forefront. He was a husband, a father, and a grandfather. He was compassionate and grateful. He was kind and humble. Several times, I stood and stared at him with tears rolling down my cheeks. He was someone's dad. He's a human -- just like you and me. I held the hand of the man who sends out the mean tweets, and I thanked him for loving the country and fighting for our freedoms. 

She praised the first responders who had done all they could that day. 

Dr. James Sweetland, who tried to save Corey Comperatore's life, also spoke. He praised the crowd present on Saturday, making the point that they were heroes for standing up for the right to support their candidate. A right that Comperatore died exercising, and that two other men -- James Copenhaver and David Dutch -- were injured exercising.

You wouldn't have to think exercising such a right could be dangerous, but the attempt shows it can be. 

Sweetland also asked them to forgive him for once being a Democrat. 

RedState's Scott Presler was also there. Scott seems to have gotten everyone and his mother registered to vote in Pennsylvania. He spoke and called on everyone to get out and vote, to deliver the state to Trump and his running mate, JD Vance.

Here's a shot of Elon Musk, Trump, and JD Vance:

Democrats Have Gotten This Big Endorsement for Nearly 40 Years; Kamala Just Lost It

By Teri Christoph | RedState.com

Kamala's been looking everywhere for the union label, but she just can't seem to find one. 

In the latest blow to her campaign, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has followed in the footsteps of the Teamsters union and declined to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race. This breaks with a decades-long tradition of the IAFF endorsing nearly all Democrat presidential candidates. 

A post that appeared on the IAFF's X account Thursday stated that their executive board voted not to endorse after "taking unprecedented steps to hear our members' views and the policy issues that matter most to them" over the past year. In other words, the union doesn't like Kamala, but also doesn't want the blowback they'd get from endorsing Trump. So they do nothing.

It sounds an awful lot like the Teamsters' decision to not endorse back in September. In a sentiment echoed by the IAFF in its decision, the Teamsters chose not to make an endorsement after taking into account the views and priorities of its members:

“Our mission as union representatives is clear: to be honest and upfront, to be inclusive and, above all, to be transparent with our membership. As the strongest and most democratic labor union in America, it was vital for our members to drive this endorsement process. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents proudly call our union home, and we have a duty to represent and respect every one of them."

As the tweet below shows, the IAFF's decision is not good news at all for Kamala, who is one of only two Democrat presidential candidates since 1984 to not receive the endorsement. The other candidate? Hillary Clinton.

This is going to ruffle a lot of leftist feathers. Many will undoubtedly see some kind of misogyny in the union's decision to not endorse the Democrat Party's two female presidential candidates. Leaving out the fact that the left collectively cannot define what a female or a woman is, the male-dominated unions will surely be excoriated for daring not to endorse the women. 

Others will see it as a betrayal because, for decades now, Democrats took these kinds of union endorsements for granted. They were the party of the working man (wink, wink), therefore, deserved the endorsements. Democrats have bought union endorsements for time immemorial, so something has gone very, very wrong here. 

Things are trending in a very bad direction for Kamala. As RedState reported earlier Thursday, Kamala has embraced the striking dockworkers, despite the potential devastating effects for the U.S. economy, calling for them to receive their "fair share" of the profits earned by the companies that keep the strikers employed. She, in return, is getting little or no support from the picketing longshoreman.

Bottom line here is that Kamala Harris is deeply unlikable to vast swaths of the electorate, even to traditionally Democrat voting blocs like unions, despite the best electioneering efforts of the corporate media.
