Immigration won’t decide the election. Polls have not yet captured what will. This may come as a surprise, but the top issue housing. More explicitly, it’s shelter costs.The EconomyThe economy is a very broad category that encompasses inflation, jobs, unemployment, wages, rent, and housing.Other polls split the economy in various pieces, such as inflation and jobs. Not a single poll mentioned housing specifically.Q: What is it that young voters really have on their minds?

An advocacy group based in Northeastern Mexico that lobbies U.S. lawmakers has distributed and posted flyers encouraging illegal immigrants to vote for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, according to The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. Translated from Spanish, the Oversight Project notes, the flyers posted by the organization Resource Center Matamoros say: “Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open.” (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news and commentary outlet.)

Flyers instructing illegal immigrants to vote for Joe Biden in the forthcoming U.S. election have been reportedly distributed at a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Mexico, according to an investigation by The Oversight Project, a watchdog initiative linked to the Heritage Foundation. The controversial flyers were discovered scattered around the Resource Center Matamoras (RCM), an establishment known for aiding migrants. Some of these were even found on the walls inside port-a-potties at the location. These flyers were discovered by @realmuckraker throughout the Resource Center Matamoras (RCM) location including on the walls of port-a-potties They also appear to be handed out when...

There have been multiple polls in recent months that show Trump leading Joe Biden in the swing states and those polls are making Democrats very nervous, but another new poll has some Democrats much more worried. This poll has to do with voter identification. Democrats have had a strong advantage on this for years but that has changed. The split between Americans who identify as Democrat vs. Republican is now almost perfectly even. Nick Arama reports at RedState: Fascinating Poll Shows Another Major Voter Shift That Brings Good News for GOP Since the 90s, when Republicans last had a lead...

The 2024 Steal is About Phantom Votes, Produced and Directed by the DOJ Recently, Obiden’s AG, Merrick Garland, scurried to Selma AL to make a speech. In a church, of course. Followers of Lucifer only go to houses of worship to make a point - or score points. It was pretty much as you might expect, but even more bold. They’re desperate. Garland openly stated that the DOJ was going to interfere with states’ rights in the 2024 voting. He is getting the DOJ involved in those "discriminatory, unnecessary and burdensome restrictions to the ballot.” that exist in the states....

Today, in a segment devoted to trashing third-party candidates because of the likelihood that they would take votes from Biden, Sanders revealed her unfamiliarity with the way that Electoral College votes are awarded. Sanders: "I think now more than any of our past recent elections, that third-party candidates are a true, true threat to Joe Biden, but also to 270, period. Our Constitution says, to be the President of the United States, you have to win 270 Electoral College votes. Not 269, not that majority rules all . . . Now, what if Joe Biden is denied 270? Or Donald...

We’ve all wondered if the fix is already in. Given the irregularities of the last election, and the manner in which the whole of the U.S. establishment rallied around one side, maybe a Biden victory in November is a foregone conclusion.I’m guilty of believing this. I’ve doubted every prediction that Donald Trump or RFK, Jr. can win. This is not because they won’t get votes. It’s because those votes might not matter enough.The power of haters is awesome and ubiquitous. The whole of legacy media, government, corporate tech, pharma, and both the administrative state and the deep state are dedicated...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the issue of abortion “could be a bigger problem for Democrats” in the November election. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Trump started the week saying that abortion should be left to the states, then he criticized Arizona and Florida for their positions which are abortion bans, essentially in Arizona and a six-week ban and Florida. Do you understand what Donald Trump’s position is on this issue and how and how fearful are you about this issue hurting Republicans?”

Claim: President Joe Biden claimed on Wednesday that inflation was “skyrocketing” when he took office. “Look we have dramatically reduced inflation from 9% down to close to 3% we’re in a situation where we’re better situated and we were we took office, where we inflation was skyrocketing,” Biden said Wednesday at a White House press conference. The president was reacting to the latest report on the consumer price index, which showed inflation rose at an annualized rate of 4.6 percent in March, the fourth consecutive month in which inflation has exceeded expectations.

James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group has released undercover footage of a Federal Reserve employee admitting to how Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell sabotaged President Trump and wants to go down in history as “someone who held the line against Trump.” Principal Economist Aurel Hizmo, a self-proclaimed liberal, told an undercover journalist more about Powell’s hatred for Trump, saying, “As soon as he became Chair, Trump wanted him to lower interest rates. Because when you lower interest rates, it stimulates the economy, and Trump was President. He wanted to stimulate the economy, but he wouldn’t do it. And he started raising...

The former president has been making his presence increasingly felt in the cognitively impaired Joe Biden White House. (LifeSiteNews) — Former U.S. president Barack Obama once famously said that he would serve a third term as long as he didn’t have to do all the legwork. “If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats … and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d...

In politics, anything can happen. But at the rate things are going, Donald Trump seems increasingly likely to return to the Oval Office. Last week, two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton appeared on the “Tonight Show” to promote a Broadway show. Pressed to address the uncomfortable fact that President Biden is unpopular with even Democratic voters, Clinton’s response was positively…”deplorable.” “What do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices?” asked “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. “Get over yourself,” Clinton grumbled. “Those are the two choices.” (snip) There’s a reason why she goes by “Madame Secretary”...

On Friday, Ohio’s Secretary of State sent some very bad news to the Ohio Democratic Party: The deadline for certifying a presidential candidate to appear on Ohio’s ballot is August 7. However, the DNC convention isn’t being held until August 19. Until then, despite his current status as the Democrat frontrunner, Biden isn’t technically the Democrat party candidate. This is a huge egg-on-the-face moment for the DNC. While the situation can be remedied, that it happened reflects the anti-meritocracy that the left has become. Democrats have been holding nominating conventions since 1832. In the ensuing 192 years, late August/early September...

There’s a reason the Biden Administration refuses to secure the U.S.-Mexico border despite its immigration policies destroying America— and that reason holds a lot of weight for the president in the 2024 presidential election. Illegal immigrants making their way through Mexico to the southern border say they want “[President Joe] Biden to win” in November, fearing former President Donald Trump will squash their dreams of making it into the U.S. And they’re right. “If it’s Trump, it doesn’t matter how much I work or want to work. They won’t let me in,” one illegal immigrant told The Free Press. Thousands...

A new Maine bill was passed by the state legislature on Wednesday that would tie Maine’s Electoral College votes for president to the country’s popular vote. The bill narrowly passed the state’s lower chamber in a 73-72 vote. It was then approved by the state Senate, and it now heads to the desk of Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME), who has not indicated whether she will sign the legislation. If she does, the state would join a national movement where each state in the agreement would assign their Electoral College votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. “The...

Joe Biden's team says that Florida is "winnable" in 2024. At first blush you say "No way" but don't dismiss it out of hand. Biden is actively working to illegally take Florida and Texas as you read this. democrats are the masters of rigged elections. The Daily Caller made a video about it. Here is the trailer https://youtu.be/A-6jGxcKziQdemocrats have a history of participating in questionable elections, a behavior that continues to this day. In a democrat state's attorney primary in Chicago (surprise) the anti-crime candidate was well ahead when 10,000 votes were suddenly "found." In Bridgeport CT a new mayoral...

Pesident Biden is pushing for trillions in tax hikes during an election year, despite experts warning it would reduce economic output and have other dire effects. It may be popular with the anti-corporate elements of potential voters, but tax experts say it's a mistake. "The tax increases would substantially increase marginal tax rates on investment, saving, and work, reducing economic output by 2.2 percent in the long run, wages by 1.6 percent, and employment by 788,000 full-time equivalent jobs," according to a recent Tax Foundation analysis. "On a gross basis, we estimate Biden’s FY 2025 budget would increase taxes by...

Democrats in Congress are encouraging the Biden administration to quickly enact a slew of far-reaching regulations ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to Punchbowl News. The Biden administration has pursued an aggressive regulatory agenda to implement President Joe Biden’s political priorities, including measures to encourage the production of more electric vehicles, forgive student loans, restrict “junk fees” by service providers and ban non-competition clauses in contracts, among many others. Amid concerns that Biden may not win the election against former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, Democrats have been encouraging the administration to finalize rules as soon as...

by CAPT. SETH KESHELAs Election 2024 bears down upon us, you’ve undoubtedly heard the term Black Swan flung around. An unfortunate reality of living in the post-2020 world is that we have come to expect government-inflicted bullshit that has no place in a free society, like ours was founded to be. You remember this drill – while many of your friends who still won’t fess up today were diving under their beds to hide from a virus that only infects you while you are walking into a restaurant or boarding an aircraft, you were watching local small business die on...
