Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was accused of “election interference” on Monday after visiting the swing state of Pennsylvania where he made an appearance with Democrats at an ammunition factory. His appearance at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant on Sunday comes after he trashed former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during an interview he gave with New York magazine while he was still in Ukraine. “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how,” he said. “With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand.” Zelensky said that Vance was “too radical” because Vance believes that Ukraine must “make a sacrifice” by losing some of its territory to bring its war with Russia to an end. He said that he does not take Vance’s words seriously and that his experience with Trump has been different because he says Trump has pledged his support for Ukraine. Zelensky was flown to the state by the U.S. Air Force where he was treated by Shapiro on the tarmac, according to a video he posted on X. He also met with Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), and Congressman Matt Cartwright (D-PA). “I visited a plant that manufactures 155 mm artillery shells,” he wrote on social media. “Now, for our warriors who are defending not only our country, not only Ukraine, the plant will be ramping up production. I began my visit to the United States by expressing my gratitude to all the employees at the plant and by reaching agreements to expand cooperation between Pennsylvania and our Zaporizhzhia.” “It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail,” he continued. “Thanks to people like these—in Ukraine, in America, and in all partner countries—who work tirelessly to ensure that life is protected.” Zelensky’s was accused by some online of interfering in the U.S. presidential election with his remarks about Vance and his subsequent event with Democrats in Pennsylvania —  a state whose winner in November will likely become the next president. “Election interference,” said Washington Examiner Chief Political Correspondent Byron York. “Now visiting a key swing state.” Palantir CEO co-founder Joe Lonsdale posted on X: “Team Kamala is so concerned about Pennsylvania, they’re using military assets to fly in Zelensky to campaign!” “They’re implying their war creates jobs, and are forcing Z to attack Trump & Vance,” he added. “Literally funding a foreign leader and using the military to bring him to campaign with them in a battleground state. PA voters aren’t dumb, this will backfire hard on the leftist Borg.” In his criticism of Vance in the New York magazine interview, Zelensky said that he believes the moment that any leader of the U.S. who endorses the idea that wars should be ended by giving into aggressors “should be held responsible for potentially starting a global war.” “Because such a person would be implying that this kind of behavior is acceptable,” he said. “I don’t take Vance’s words seriously, because, if this were a plan, then America is headed for global conflict. It will involve Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Taiwan, China, as well as many African countries. That approach would broadcast to the world the following implicit rule: I came, I conquered, now this is mine. It will apply everywhere: land claims and mineral rights and borders between nations.” He said in that type of world the governing philosophy will be “might is right” and there will be a “global showdown.” “Let Mr. Vance read up on the history of the Second World War, when a country was forced to give part of its territory to one particular person,” Zelensky continued. “What did that man do? Was he appeased or did he deal a devastating blow to the continent of Europe—to many nations, broadly, and to the Jewish nation in particular? Let him do some reading. The Jewish people are a strong power base in the United States, so let them conduct a public-education campaign and explain why millions perished thanks to the fact that someone offered to give up a sliver of territory.”

Former President Donald Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday for skipping the Al Smith dinner in New York City in October, saying that she is “anti-Catholic.” The annual event is a Catholic fundraiser that, during presidential election cycles, features the nominees of both of America’s two major political parties who engage in some self-deprecating humor and some light roasting of their opponent. “It will be an honor to attend the SOLD OUT 79th ANNUAL AL SMITH DINNER on October 17th in New York,” Trump posted on social media. “It will be great to see so many wonderful people there, including Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan. We know the Spirit of Al Smith, the first Catholic Nominee of a Major Party, and John F. Kennedy, the FIRST Catholic President, will be in the room with us that night.” Harris’ campaign said that she will be the first the candidate in many decades to skip the event because she would rather on the campaign trail. Harris, who has criticism for her awkward over-the-top laughing and her inability to take criticism, has taken numerous “anti-Catholic” actions, Trump said in his post. “It’s sad, but not surprising, that Kamala has decided not to attend,” he said. “I don’t know what she has against our Catholic friends, but it must be a lot, because she certainly hasn’t been very nice to them, in fact, Catholics are literally being persecuted by this Administration.” “Any Catholic that votes for Comrade Kamala Harris should have their head examined,” he continued. “In addition to the Democrats’ Cruel War on The Little Sisters of the Poor, Kamala led the way on the UNCONSCIONABLE and UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTACKS on The Knights of Columbus that amounted to a RELIGIOUS TEST (Very anti-Catholic!) for Justices on the Supreme Court. Also, who can forget the flagrant, in-your-face ‘TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY’ Kamala and Biden hosted at the White House on Easter Sunday (of all days!). Regardless, I will see everyone on October 17th, and we will have a GREAT night for Catholic Charities. It’s sad that Kamala doesn’t care about these good works, but with her History of anti-Catholic actions, she would have a hard time anyway!”

In the 1980s, there were fewer television stars bigger than Tom Selleck. He played Thomas Magnum, a private investigator on Magnum P.I. from 1980 to 1988. For the better part of the decade, the world loved seeing Magnum, with his signature mustache and floral shirt, busting the bad guys on the beaches of Hawaii. The show shot Tom to a level of superstardom that he admits wasn’t really in his comfort zone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by pentasprism (@pentasprism) “Magnum P.I.” Made Tom Selleck A Star But He Wanted A Private Life Tom sat down with fellow 1980s celebrity Ted Danson for an episode of his podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson (sometimes), and spoke of his sudden fame. “I didn’t like it,” Tom explained. “Mainly because of family and a sense of privacy.” He said he was living in Hawaii in a small house among the locals, not unlike his character. Some of them knew he was an actor, but it wasn’t until the show became a hit that he really started to get recognized. He said he was grateful that he was filming in Hawaii and not in Los Angeles like many other shows, having far fewer eyes on him. “Say the same show was in L.A., and it got the same kind of heat,” he said. “I don’t know how people do that. I had this huge buffer, and it was a blessing.” Tom’s current show, Blue Bloods, has been a fan favorite for 14 seasons on CBS and will conclude its run on October 18. He’s been very vocal about his disappointment in the show’s cancelation telling T.V. Insider, “CBS will find an awful lot of people aren’t ready to say goodbye to it. The show’s more popular than ever, and I think [numbers] will increase with the interest this year. We’re certainly not out of ideas.” This story’s featured image is by Silver Screen Collection/Archive Photos/Getty Images.

'He never had the president in his line of fire'

Shay Shay's out here dropping bombs

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign publicly admitted two months ago that it was deliberately misleading voters about Project 2025. Now, House Democrats will join the chorus in feigning outrage. Led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the party’s Steering and Policy Committee—which isn’t an official House committee—plans to hold a fake “hearing” Tuesday about Project 2025. You can expect Democrats to invoke Donald Trump’s name repeatedly and associate it with Project 2025—even though the former president isn’t involved with the effort and has called it “merely disinformation put out by the Radical Left Democrat Thugs.” “Do not believe them!” Trump added. That won’t stop the Democrats who show up for Tuesday’s stunt, starting with their ringleader, Jeffries. “It’s Project 2025 week because at the end of the day, my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues are determined to jam Trump’s Project 2025 down the throats of the American people,” Jeffries said—incorrectly—from the House floor last week. Launched by The Heritage Foundation more than two years ago, Project 2025 has grown to a coalition of more than 110 conservative organizations that developed a transition plan for the next presidential administration. Its work is nonpartisan and available to whomever occupies the White House next year. MYTHS VS. FACTS ABOUT PROJECT 2025We are not affiliated with former President Trump. We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy and personnel recommendations.1. End no fault divorce: FALSEDivorce is not mentioned in our policy handbook,… https://t.co/syj1HnCxhP— Project 2025 (@Prjct2025) July 9, 2024 Many of its policy recommendations—such as securing the U.S.-Mexico border and unleashing American energy production—are overwhelmingly popular. But its recommendations for reining in the administrative state have triggered the Left to a near meltdown. For months, The Daily Signal has documented the Left’s lies about Project 2025 and will continue to do so, including for today’s hearing. (You can prepare by reading Evan Maguire’s excellent commentary on the top five falsehoods about the initiative.) But we are hardly alone. In total, news organizations spanning the globe have done more than 60 stories documenting the Democrats’ deceit. Did you know, CNN fact checked Kamala Harris on this lie months ago, and her campaign ADMITTED to deliberately lying about Project 2025 to manipulate voters?“A Harris campaign official said the campaign has “made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as… https://t.co/jNx9Qgnob9 pic.twitter.com/Db9JHHAeNE— Project 2025 (@Prjct2025) September 21, 2024 Since replacing Joe Biden by entering the presidential race in July, Harris and her campaign have falsely attacked Project 2025 and the policies outlined in Heritage’s latest “Mandate for Leadership” effort on nearly a daily basis. Project 2025 featured prominently at the Democratic National Convention last month in Chicago and was a talking point for Harris at the Sept. 10 presidential debate with Trump. Next up, House Democrats will take their turn to mislead and distort. They have offered few details about Tuesday’s event, other than promoting it to The Washington Post as a multimedia extravaganza that will feature some of the same elements as the bogus committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, protest at the U.S. Capitol. Some of the same staff and outside consultants from the J6 committee—including a filmmaker—are working with Democrats on the fake Project 2025 “hearing,” according to the Post. The event will take place at 2:15 p.m. in the Capitol. Jeffries plans to stream it live. .@HouseDemocrats and I have been working on something critical: showing people what's actually in Trump’s Project 2025, helping them understand it, and bringing it out of the shadows.Tune in tomorrow @ 2:15pmET for our event to expose #Project2025 ?? https://t.co/bIJVjXMzo8— Rep. Jared Huffman (@RepHuffman) September 23, 2024 Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., co-founder of the partisan Stop Project 2025 Task Force, touted the event as “showing people what’s actually in Trump’s Project 2025”—falsely repeating one of the Democrats’ favorite lines about Trump. As for showing what’s in it, Americans don’t need Huffman’s help. They can already do that by visiting Project2025.org. The complete volume of “Mandate for Leadership” is available for anyone to read for free. With more than 4 million downloads since its April 2023 release, the book easily surpasses some of the other titles released last year. By comparison, “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover was the top-selling novel at 1.2 million copies. Whether any Democrat has bothered to read Project 2025 is another question entirely. And based on Democrats’ latest line of attack this week—that Project 2025 “could effectively ban IVF”—it appears the answer is a definitive “no.” There’s not a single mention of IVF—an abbreviation for in vitro fertilization—on any of the 922 pages. Yet that didn’t stop Harris from releasing an ad suggesting otherwise. Lies like this will continue unabated until Election Day. There is literally no mention of in vitro fertilization or IVF in the entire 922 page book. @Prjct2025 pic.twitter.com/rPXHOjHzZt— Brian Phillips (@RealBPhil) September 23, 2024 Without a policy agenda of her own, Harris has resorted to running against Project 2025. When pressed to take a position, she’s offered ideas that are radical departures from her past positions—from aiding illegal aliens to banning fracking. The theatrics of Tuesday’s mock “hearing” might be entertaining to those who traffic in lies. For the rest of us, we’ll help make sure Americans understand fact from fiction.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Even after multiple assurances from President Joe Biden over recent weeks and months that a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war could be right around the corner, U.S. officials reportedly are privately beginning to concede that Biden won’t be able to help secure a deal before his term ends. Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 sparked a broader regional war beyond the Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas and sent an already chaotic Middle East further into turmoil, prompting the Biden-Harris administration to try to pursue diplomatic solutions to end the conflict and reduce tensions among Arab states. Biden has routinely touted his efforts to secure a cease-fire agreement and hinted on several occasions that a deal was close at hand. But these efforts have largely been fruitless—and now U.S. officials are beginning to believe that it may be impossible to secure anything before Biden leaves office, given the roadblocks separating Israel and Hamas, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. “No deal is imminent,” one of the U.S. officials told the Journal. “I’m not sure it ever gets done.” The private concerns that a deal is out of reach aren’t fully reflected in public statements recently made by Biden officials, who have maintained that an agreement is still on the table while expressing frustration with Hamas’ obstinance in negotiations. A senior Biden-Harris administration official told reporters in early September that “90%” of the deal had been agreed to between Israel and Hamas, which White House spokesman John Kirby reaffirmed during a press briefing Wednesday. But former State Department official Gabriel Noronha told the Daily Caller News Foundation that it’s often the remaining, narrower aspects of such a deal that are the hardest to resolve. “Generally, you take care of the easier-to-agree items first, and the last items are the ones that are the hardest,” Noronha said, pointing to disputes over whether Israel should keep some troops in the Gaza Strip as one of the sticking points of a deal. “Those are the tough items.” In recent weeks and months, Biden has seemed more positive about reaching a ceasefire agreement. Biden told reporters at the end of August that he was “optimistic” a deal could soon be reached because most of the terms had been agreed to and that talks were continuing between Arab partners. Biden said weeks earlier that he “may have something” on a deal but didn’t want to “jinx it,” claiming that his team was “closer than we’ve ever been” to securing an agreement. “It’s much, much closer than it was three days ago. So, keep your fingers crossed,” Biden told reporters Aug. 16. Biden had been adamant for months that a cease-fire was needed urgently, putting forward his own proposal for a deal in May, which has yet to be accepted, and before that warning that a deal had to be reached by March, which never happened. Even as early as February, Biden was predicting that a cease-fire could be reached within days. “Well, I hope by the beginning of the weekend—I mean the end of the weekend [that a deal will be reached],” Biden told reporters in February. In the past couple of months, U.S. officials have become increasingly pessimistic that a deal could be reached, largely due to Hamas, which has been stubborn in negotiations and set unrealistic terms for an agreement. Hamas has frequently set new demands for proposals—and after the U.S. and Israel agree to the terms, the terrorist group still rejects offers, according to the Journal. National security adviser Jake Sullivan met Wednesday with the families of the remaining American hostages in Gaza, relaying the current status of negotiations and reaffirming that Biden won’t stop until their relatives are brought home, according to Hostage Aid Worldwide. But the families “expressed frustration with the lack of tangible progress and stressed that everyone needs to play a larger role in reaching an agreement.” Adding to the complications are Israel’s tensions with Iran and its terror proxy group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both Hezbollah and Iran have engaged in either direct or indirect skirmishes with Israel since the war broke out last October. Israel is suspected of carrying out highly targeted, remote attacks against Hezbollah in recent days, prompting warnings of retaliation from the terrorist group, which is already engaged in cross-fire skirmishes with Israel over the Israeli-Lebanese border. “There’s no chance now of [a deal] happening,” an Arab official told the Journal following the attacks in Lebanon. “Everyone is in a wait-and-see mode until after the [U.S.] election. The outcome will determine what can happen in the next administration.” With the convoluted rift between Israel and Hamas over a deal and the compounding factors emanating from Hezbollah and Iran, the Biden-Harris administration has too little control over negotiations at this stage in the game, and it’s unlikely that any deal will be reached between now and the end of Biden’s term, Noronha told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “They’re probably not going to get one before the election, or before January either. But that’s not on them, per se. It speaks to the difficulty of how far apart [Israel and Hamas] are,” Noronha said. Still, securing a cease-fire agreement in Gaza would represent a notable success for Biden’s foreign policy approach and potentially unlock the possibility of broader regional peace. A deal could pave the way for talks to open up between Israel and Saudi Arabia over establishing formal diplomatic ties, although Saudi Arabia has said such relations aren’t possible until Israel agrees to a two-state solution with the Palestinians. For the time being, the U.S. is continuing to help broker negotiations among Israel, Egypt, Qatar, and Hamas negotiators, with a specific focus on how to overcome the hurdles barring a deal from being reached—if it is even possible at this juncture. “We have run into some resistance,” Kirby told reporters Wednesday. “And we’re just not … any closer today than we were a few days ago.” The State Department and White House did not respond to a request for comment.
