New York City kicked out 40,000 migrant families because they needed the rooms. So, what will these people do? They might well resort to crime. A lot are heading for streets with their taxpayer-funded tents. Recently, the NYPD moved the American homeless somewhere, and now there is room on the streets.

Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists hit two oil tankers with missiles in the Red Sea on Monday as they look to continue disrupting shipping routes over Israel’s war against Hamas, an Islamic terrorist group in Gaza. The Houthis attacked the Panama flagged/owned, Greek-operated MV BLUE LAGOON I and the Saudi flagged, owned, and operated MV AMJAD, with two ballistic missiles and a one-way attack uncrewed aerial system, hitting both vessels, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement. “Both vessels are laden with crude oil,” the statement said. “The MV AMJAD is carrying approximately two million barrels of oil, almost twice the amount onboard the Greek-owned MV DELTA SOUNION, which the Houthis attacked on Aug. 21.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “Currently, salvage efforts are underway in the Southern Red Sea for the disabled MV DELTA SOUNION, which is still on fire and threatens the possibility of a major environmental disaster,” the statement continued. “These reckless acts of terrorism by the Houthis continue to destabilize regional and global commerce, as well as put the lives of civilian mariners and maritime ecosystems at risk.” Sept 2 U.S. Central Command Update In the past 24 hours, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) forces successfully destroyed two missile systems in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen.

Video released by the #Houthis seems to show the setting of explosive charges on the deck of the tanker #Sounion off the coast of Yemen in the #RedSea. At 150k tons, this tanker is almost twice the size of Exxon Valdez and the environmental damage to the region will be massive. pic.twitter.com/EfUbg5o5j9 — Sal Mercogliano (WGOW Shipping) ?⚓???‍☠️ (@mercoglianos) August 23, 2024

Dennis Quaid’s presidential biopic “Reagan” outperformed box office expectations over Labor Day weekend, landing in a close race for third place behind mega-blockbusters like “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The film, directed by Sean McNamara, stars Quaid as the former president and Penelope Ann Miller as his wife, Nancy. Academy Award winner Jon Voight has a supporting role. Mainstream critics had few good things to say about the film, but despite their negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has a 98% audience rating on the review site’s new Popcornmeter compared to a 19% critical rating. “Reagan” earned $7.4 million Friday through Sunday and could end the four-day weekend with $9.2 million with Monday’s earnings added in, per Newsweek. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The biopic is based on the 2006 book “The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism” by Paul Kengor. Moviegoers gushed about the film’s performances and content. “Oscar-winning performances for Quaid, Voight, and Miller in this heartfelt biopic that pays homage to one of America’s most beloved, admired, and effective Presidents. Standing ovation in a packed theater shows how the audience really loved the subject matter and film,” one reviewer wrote. “Excellent film! Acting superb! Wonderful biopic about a remarkable man,” another reviewer said. “Really liked how the story was told without extreme partisan position. At the end of the showing, the audience burst into applause, something I haven’t experienced in years!” Quaid joined Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on his “Sunday Special” series to discuss what led him to take on the role. “Reagan was my favorite president,” the actor said. “I voted for Jimmy Carter in ’76. It was the first time I could vote, but then I voted for Reagan in ’80.” Quaid also talked about his complexities and how he tried to portray them onscreen by truly embodying the character.  WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “That’s the thing between the impersonation and getting to the person about what makes them tick,” he said. “And there was that thing of Reagan I heard from everyone that knew him, there’s this impenetrable space that he always had that, you know, this is the ‘Great Communicator,’ quite jovial of a person, but there was this place that you couldn’t get past as well, a very private place. And I think that was always there with him from childhood, really.” “Reagan” is currently showing in theaters nationwide.

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with an affected drawl during a recent campaign stop that was so obviously fake that critics are comparing her to the classic Looney Tunes cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn. Harris, who became the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee after President Joe Biden was effectively forced off the ticket in July, campaigned on Monday first in Detroit and then in Pennsylvania — and people quickly noticed that she only adopted the accent at that first stop.

When the demand for racism far exceeds the supply, the inevitable result is that you get race hoaxes. And there are now so many race hoaxes in this country that we have entire genres of race hoaxes to catalog. There’s the Jussie Smollet-style hoax, where you fake a racist attack. There’s the graffiti-style race hoax, where you spray-paint something racist on a wall or a car or something like that. And of course there’s the restaurant-receipt-style race hoax, where someone leaves a racist message on a receipt. One of the more prominent racist receipt hoaxes is the one that happened at the Saltgrass steakhouse a few years back, when a customer supposedly wrote the words, “We don’t tip terrorists” on his receipt, because the waiter looked like he was from the Middle East or something. The waiter put out a social media post saying the receipt is proof that racism is alive and well. “This racism and this hatred still exists,” he posted on Instagram. The restaurant immediately announced it was banning the customer for life because the waiter obviously wouldn’t lie about something like that. Only for the waiter to eventually admit what every sane person already knew, which is that he fabricated the whole thing. These race hoaxes are all so predictable that you’d be forgiven for believing that innovation is truly dead in the race hoax industry. Race hoaxes have become a lot like iPhones. There’s no real variation from year to year. You just keep getting the same thing over and over again. And that’s true, for the most part. There was one very notable recent exception to this general rule, however, and it comes to us from Charles County, Maryland. For the first time in recorded history, we have a twist on the restaurant receipt race hoax. The spin is that, in this case, the receipt isn’t actually being faked by anyone. It is a 100% accurate receipt, according to all parties involved. So in that sense, this is something of an upgrade over the typical genre standbys that we’re all used to. Unfortunately, in every other respect this is one of the dumbest race hoaxes to ever occur in this country. It’s so extraordinarily low-IQ and insulting to the intelligence of everyone involved that it defies comprehension as to why a single news station, anywhere, would cover this complete non-story, except maybe to laugh at it. But some news outlets — both national and local — did cover the story with a straight face. Here’s one of those stations: “Racism is still alive,” he says, pretending to be upset. It’s what the Saltgrass waiter said a couple of years ago, too. Of course the irony is that, if racism were still alive as they say, they wouldn’t need to make it up. We’re supposed to think that these hoaxers are really angry that racism is still alive, but of course the opposite is true. They want racism to exist so badly that they’re willing to invent it. They hope that their race hoax will follow the familiar pattern: the social media outrage, followed by the termination of the allegedly offending party, followed by a big payout, followed by them taking their place alongside the great civil rights heroes of all time — men like George Floyd and Michael Brown. And they’re not quite sure how to react when that pattern doesn’t play out. Notice in that video that the man assumes the teenage employee will be fired, even though Chick-fil-A has already said he won’t be. He says, well it’s sad he might have to lose his job, but he needs to learn the lesson. It’s as if he can’t process the fact that he’s being told that no, the Chick-fil-A employee didn’t actually suffer any kind of harm. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show Nevertheless, the man says he’s thinking about filing a federal lawsuit against Chick-fil-A because that receipt was just “devastating” for him. He’s never going back to that Chick-fil-A ever again because apparently the equivalent of the KKK has taken it over. Whenever they see a black customer they just write “monkey” on the receipt because that’s how racist they are at this particular Chick-fil-A. This is the narrative that the media is reporting, without any pushback whatsoever, even though it’s extremely obvious that this was a misunderstanding on the part of the employee. The guy’s name is “Marquise,” which does sound very close to “monkeys,” depending on how you say it. If his name was Bob or Larry or something, then he might have more of a case. Then you could maybe convince someone that this was a malicious attempt to communicate some racist message to this customer, for some reason. But as it stands, it’s pretty clear what happened. He probably either said “Marquise” or “monkeys” in the drive-thru lane and either way, the employee thought he heard “monkeys.” We can be pretty sure of that because the alternative makes no sense whatsoever. This Chick-fil-A is in Maryland. This drive-thru employee probably serves dozens of black customers a day. Does he call them all racial slurs or did he just randomly select this guy for no particular reason? Did he wake up and decide, you know what, I’m going to call a customer a monkey today. And I’m going to put it in writing. Is there a single person who actually believes that’s a plausible scenario? And yet the media uncritically reports on the customer’s “trauma.” Then he makes his pitch for a lawsuit, which is really a shakedown. He’s essentially telling Chick-fil-A to pay up, or he’s going to smear them as much as possible. If you watch the video this guy recorded in the Chick-fil-A — which I won’t play because it’s painful to listen to — he immediately demands that the employee lose his job. And then he promises to make the clip go “viral.” He went directly into making threats as soon as he saw an opportunity. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. This is inexcusable behavior obviously, but it’s also predictable. This is the kind of response that a lot of people will have when everyone in the media is telling them, at every opportunity, that they’re a victim because of their skin color. It’s what happens when some people are bombarded with lies about how oppressed they are. And that’s happening constantly, right out in the open. The other day, for example, the actor and singer Tyrese had a conversation with the race hustling ambulance chaser Ben Crump. And Tyrese made a claim that’s clearly false, and also clearly designed to stoke as much racial animosity and resentment as possible. And of course Ben Crump, the alleged lawyer, agreed with it. Watch: Tyrese calls out Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for signing a hate crime bill to protect Asians but skipping over Black and Latino people who are being killed. pic.twitter.com/v4Ltb9LQEW — The Art Of Dialogue (@ArtOfDialogue_) September 1, 2024   Tyrese claims, bizarrely, that there are no hate crime laws protecting black and brown people. Never mind that every hate crime law protects those groups and most of them were written specifically to protect those groups. Just last week Kamala was once again promoting the “anti-lynching” act that the Biden Admin signed into law a couple of years ago. That was yet another hate crime bill written specifically to protect black people from a form of violence that none of them have suffered in at least forty years. Also, as I covered last week, lynching is already illegal about three times over. This made it illegal a fourth time. As to the specific legislation that Tyrese is talking about, he’s wrong about that, too. There was no bill that only punishes anti-Asian hate crimes. The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which is apparently what he’s referring to, applied to all forms of “hate crime.” It just made it easier to report and catalog these incidents. A lot of people pointed this out online, so it’s not a particularly convincing lie, either. And as I’ve discussed before, this is all a moot point anyway because hate crimes shouldn’t be an actual category of crime. For one thing, a lot of crimes committed against other people typically involve some form of hatred. So we don’t need a special category for certain kinds of hatred. For another thing, hate crimes aren’t prosecuted or reported with any kind of consistency. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Those are legitimate complaints you can make about hate crimes legislation. But the idea that they don’t protect black and brown people is complete nonsense. In the Ahmaud Arbery case, after the state secured the murder convictions, the feds went back and prosecuted those defendants for hate crimes because of racist text messages they had sent — before the murder, about someone other than Ahmaud Arbery. It was an entirely separate prosecution. They got guilty pleas and additional life sentences because of it. But apparently those hate crimes laws don’t exist, according to Tyrese and Ben Crump. This is the same kind of race hustling that Barack Obama specialized in, but these people aren’t anywhere near as good at it. Obama could look the camera in the eye and wag his finger and say whatever he wanted. He could convince a lot of people that hate crimes laws only protect white people if he wanted to. But Tyrese and Ben Crump aren’t so gifted. They’re not anywhere near as coherent. Their pandering is too obvious. In fact, right now there aren’t many prominent members of the Democrat Party who are capable of pulling off the Obama-style hustle. Kamala Harris certainly isn’t capable of it. Even in scripted moments — pretty much the only moments that her handlers will allow her to have — she can’t do it. Take a look at these two clips from Kamala Harris events yesterday. One’s in Detroit and the other’s in Pennsylvania. They’re just a few hours apart. See if you notice any differences: Kamala in Detroit vs. Kamala in Pittsburgh — literally 5 hours apart The difference is insane pic.twitter.com/ZPXXr2BHe7 — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) September 2, 2024   So in the Detroit speech, she’s once again trying to sound urban but instead ends up sounding like Foghorn Leghorn. She’s trying to connect with black voters by changing her accent and tone, but, ironically, winds up sounding something like a plantation owner in the Antebellum south. Meanwhile in the Pennsylvania clip she sounds completely different. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Bill Clinton did this kind of thing all the time, but they at least waited a few hours before dropping their fake accents. They didn’t leave the “urban environment” and immediately start speaking normally again. So this may be the single worst attempt at “code switching,” or whatever you want to call it, that’s ever been attempted. But Kamala attempted it anyway. Whatever this is — whether it’s desperation or incompetence or both — it’s a clear sign that Democrats aren’t going to change their tactics just because they don’t have the talent to pull it off. They still have no problem being completely shameless in their attempts to divide this country along racial lines. So the media will continue to tell us that innocuous restaurant receipts are racist. Ben Crump will nod along as an actor lies about hate crimes. And Kamala Harris will do everything she can to prevent people from realizing she grew up in a wealthy neighborhood in Montreal. Put it all together, and it’s clear that the Left’s racial pandering is now so overt that it manages to insult the intelligence of the people they’re pandering to. This is inevitably what happens when the demand for racism outstrips the supply — you get hoax after hoax after hoax. Eventually, the hoaxes start looking a bit too familiar and too obvious. That’s what we’re seeing now. The fraud is clearer than it ever was. And if Kamala Harris made anything clear yesterday, it’s that she’s incapable of hiding it.

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris supported racial reparations for black Americans during her 2020 run for the White House, and so far has not denounced the policy position. Nationally, reparations are deeply unpopular, with about two-thirds of Americans opposing such policy. Opponents, specifically asked about reparations for slavery, often argue that Americans would be paying for sins they didn’t commit, and paying people who didn’t actually experience slavery. “In the area of reparations for descendants of Africans enslaved — if you’re elected president, would you sign that bill if it came across your desk?” racial agitator and MSNBC personality Al Sharpton asked Harris during her 2020 run for the White House. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “When I am elected president, I will sign that bill,” Harris proudly responded.

We’re looking at almost 100 years of Jim Crow. We’re looking at legalized segregation and, in fact, segregation on so many levels that exist today based on race. And there has not been any kind of intervention.” According to polling from Pew Research, 66% of Americans oppose reparations, with only 30% in favor. Broken down by race, the disparity is even larger: 77% of black Americans support reparations, while only 8% of white Americans, 33% of Asian Americans, and 39% of Hispanic Americans support them. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI It’s unclear if Harris still holds the same position in 2024. Harris has flip-flopped on a number of issues, trying to moderate her far-Left platform. Notably, Harris herself has yet to explain her supposed new positions, instead relying on anonymous staffers to tell the press, which is overtly friendly to Harris. The presidential hopeful has, for example, flipped on immigration, fracking, and single-payer healthcare. Previously, Harris said it should not be a crime for migrants to enter our country illegally, she enthusiastically promoted a ban on fracking, and said we should do away with private health insurance.

As the 2024 presidential election draws closer, Vice President Kamala Harris finds her lead over former President Donald Trump shrinking, according to recent polling data. Despite a post-convention boost, Harris now holds a narrow advantage of just four percentage points, a decline from earlier in the summer. The ABC News/Ipsos poll reveals a tightening race, with Trump gaining traction among key voter demographics, particularly on issues like the economy and immigration, where he continues to outperform Harris. The poll, conducted in late August, shows that while Harris remains ahead, her lead has diminished since the Democratic National Convention. A majority of Americans continue to view Harris as more physically and mentally fit to serve as president, with 57% believing she is in better health and 47% considering her more mentally sharp compared to Trump. However, these perceived strengths have not translated into a commanding lead, as Trump’s focus on economic issues resonates with a significant portion of the electorate. https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1830736381590806994 Trump’s supporters remain firmly behind him, with 60% expressing strong support, though a notable 31% do so with reservations. This contrasts with Harris, whose support is slightly less enthusiastic, with 64% of her backers strongly supporting her and 18% having some reservations. Interestingly, a larger share of Harris supporters say they are driven by a dislike of the other candidates, reflecting the polarized nature of the race. The poll also indicates that Trump’s handling of the economy, inflation, and immigration is more trusted by voters, with margins of +8 on the economy and inflation, and +9 on immigration. These are critical issues that could swing undecided voters as the campaign enters its final phase. Harris, on the other hand, is seen as more trustworthy in areas like protecting American democracy and Supreme Court appointments, where she holds a smaller edge. https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1828066149638013061 Despite Trump’s gains, Harris still leads among key voter groups, particularly women and minorities, who view her campaign favorably. However, Trump is closing in, particularly among independents and working-class voters who are increasingly concerned about economic conditions. His recent campaign efforts have focused on these groups, aiming to expand his base and capitalize on the growing dissatisfaction with the Biden administration’s economic policies. The polling data also suggests that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent exit from the race and endorsement of Trump has had little impact on voter preferences, with 79% of respondents stating it made no difference in their choice. This indicates that the race is likely to remain highly competitive, with both candidates needing to focus on turnout and mobilization efforts as the election approaches. In the coming weeks, Harris and Trump will face off in key battleground states, where the race is expected to be particularly close. With Trump gaining ground and Harris’s lead narrowing, the 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious and closely watched in recent history. Both campaigns are intensifying their efforts to sway undecided voters and solidify their support bases, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown in November.

For more than four decades, Americans welcomed a familiar dynamic duo into their homes night after night. Pat Sajak and Vanna White had one of Hollywood’s longest and strongest relationships, albeit strictly professional. Pat began hosting Wheel of Fortune in 1981, and Vanna joined him a year later, turning letters. They were staples in the game show scene, and it seemed unimaginable that anyone could replace either one. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ryan Seacrest (@ryanseacrest) But after 41 seasons, Pat decided to retire. Finding the perfect host for the show and someone who would complement Vanna was a challenge. Veteran TV host Ryan Seacrest will fill some very big shoes. Vanna told CBS Sunday Morning that she “had no idea what to expect” when coming into work with a new host. After so many years with Pat by her side, it was a whole new world. “I mean, when I’m used to one person for so long, I was very scared, but he’s doing a great job.” Thankfully, Ryan And Vanna Aren’t Total Strangers The pair have known one another professionally for quite some time and spent the summer working and getting to know each other better. “I’ve known Ryan for probably 20 years, but in the past couple of months, we’ve done some traveling together for the show, and we got to know each other a little better too, so I think our chemistry is good,” she said. Ryan shared with the news program that while everyone knows Wheel of Fortune, he still had a lot to learn. “Wherever I was working, the producers sometimes would come, and they’d bring contestants, and we would play Wheel of Fortune in hotels just to get familiar with the rules and scenarios and things that can happen so that at some point it becomes second nature,” Seacrest said. Ryan and Vanna will make their debut on Wheel of Fortune together on September 9. This story’s featured image is by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for CBS Media Ventures / Sony Pictures Television.
