At a Trump rally in Michigan recently, none of his supporters “believed recent polling showing Trump slipping behind Harris.” “And none could envision a world where they wake up on Nov. 6 and Trump is not the winner; if he isn’t, they say, Harris has either cheated or the electi[...]

Trump running mate’s rude attack on Harris defies logic
When a reporter asked J. D. Vance about this week’s Arlington Cemetery incident, he deflected by launching into a rant about the 13 American soldiers killed in the Kabul airport terrorist attack, then segued into a rude and illogical attack on Harris culminating with “she can go to hell!R[...]

This smear is doggone silly

Stolen valor
Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, exaggerated his military service by saying he retired as a Command Sergeant Major (CSM), when he only served in that capacity but retired as a Master Sergeant, and carried “weapons of war … in war,” despite never having served in an act[...]
