Establishment pollsters have many ways to manipulate data so as to confirm their own biases and sell the establishment's narrative. Thus, when depending on a pollster, one must often dig into the results in order to find meaningful data. For instance, a new The Economist/YouGov poll conducted Aug. 25-27 showed...

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) explained during a recent campaign stop why he typically does not need a teleprompter and took a swing at Vice President Kamala Harris in the process. Vance, who is campaigning to be Vice President to former President Donald Trump, said that, unlike Harris, he had thoughts in his head and did not need to be constantly reminded what he was supposed to say.

I’ve actually got thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris,” Vance shot back, and the crowd roared. The Ohio senator has been taking the fight directly to both Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), since President Joe Biden was forced out of the race by his own party, making Harris the de facto nominee just over one month ago. During that time, Vance has repeatedly pointed out the fact that Harris — because she is the sitting vice president in the Biden-Harris administration — could already be working to fix the problems she claims she will start fixing “on day one” of a Harris-Walz administration. “Day one” for Harris, Vance explained to a Michigan crowd last week, “was 1300 days ago.” Vance has also criticized Harris for failing to take questions from the press, at one point approaching the reporters waiting by her plane for her to snub them yet again. He explained at the time that he was just coming over to check out Air Force Two because it might soon be his plane — and joked with reporters that he would take questions when she would not. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Harris finally agreed to one interview — more than a full month after she became the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee — with friendly CNN anchor Dana Bash.

The Cleveland Clinic scrubbed references to its minority-only health clinic after a conservative group filed a federal civil rights complaint against the provider earlier this month.  The Clinic removed information on its “Minority Men’s Health Center” from its website sometime after August 14, when the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services accusing the clinic of illegal discrimination. The complaint was filed on behalf of Do No Harm, an organization dedicated to depoliticizing medicine.  The complaint specifically took issue with the clinic’s racially-focused “Minority Stroke Program” and the “Minority Men’s Health Center.”  According to archived pages from its website, the Minority Men’s Health Center is focused on “minority health concerns,” and says it helps doctors “more effectively address health disparities in minority populations.” Links that previously went to information about the health center now go to information about kidney health. However, references to the center can still be found in news releases and other pages on the website.  Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The minority stroke program, which is still featured on the Cleveland Health Clinic’s website, is “focused on preventing and treating stroke in racial and ethnic minorities” and increasing “stroke awareness among minority groups in order to lower stroke rates and improve stroke outcomes.” The Cleveland Clinic has over 48,000 employees across 14 affiliated hospitals and 20 family centers in northeast Ohio. It also has several affiliated hospitals in Florida and a cancer center in Nevada. Do No Harm senior fellow Dr. Jared Ross told The Daily Wire that the clinic’s racially-focused initiatives were illegal under the Civil Rights Act and the Affordable Care Act. He added that while the clinic removing references to the programs is a good sign, it remains to be seen if the clinic will revive the programs under a different name. Ross said that both programs caused unnecessary division by separating patients by race.  “Anytime we have segregation based on race, it’s harmful,” Ross said. “We have a huge politically incentivized faction that wants to bring back segregation and it’s really unfortunate to go back to this idea of clinics for white people and clinics for black people.” 

In a significant international collaboration, the CIA played a crucial role in helping Austrian authorities thwart a terror plot targeting a Taylor Swift concert, officials revealed this week. The conspiracy, orchestrated by a radicalized group with links to ISIS, was intercepted just days before the pop superstar was set to perform in Vienna. The details of the operation, which began months ago, highlight the ongoing global threats posed by extremist groups and the importance of international intelligence-sharing in countering such dangers. The CIA became aware of the plot through its extensive surveillance network, which monitors global jihadist communications. Once the agency identified credible threats involving Austria, they immediately alerted Austrian intelligence, triggering a high-stakes race to prevent the attack. The planned assault aimed to cause mass casualties, intending to use explosive devices at the crowded venue, according to sources familiar with the investigation. https://x.com/GarrenSusan/status/1829155951620067427 Austrian authorities acted swiftly on the intelligence provided by the CIA. In a coordinated operation with local police and counterterrorism units, several suspects were detained in raids across Vienna and other locations. The arrests prevented what could have been a devastating attack, with authorities seizing explosive materials, communication devices, and other evidence linking the suspects to ISIS. The suspects, all of whom are believed to be radicalized individuals with a history of extremist activities, are now facing serious charges related to terrorism. The timing of the planned attack was particularly alarming, as Taylor Swift’s concert was expected to draw tens of thousands of fans from across Europe. The singer, who is currently on her global "Eras Tour," has been performing to sold-out crowds in various cities. Austrian officials noted that the plotters likely chose the event due to its high profile, aiming to maximize the impact of their actions. The successful intervention not only averted a potential tragedy but also underscored the persistent threat of terrorism at large public gatherings, even in countries with robust security measures. https://x.com/nytimes/status/1828880249435676825 This operation is a stark reminder of the global reach of ISIS and other extremist groups, despite their territorial losses in the Middle East. While the group no longer controls significant land, it continues to inspire and coordinate attacks through decentralized networks and online propaganda. European countries have remained on high alert, particularly following a series of attacks in recent years, many of which were carried out by lone wolves or small cells that had been radicalized online. The CIA’s involvement in this case demonstrates the agency’s evolving role in counterterrorism efforts beyond U.S. borders. By leveraging its technological and human intelligence capabilities, the CIA has increasingly engaged in operations aimed at preventing attacks before they reach American shores. In this instance, the agency’s proactive approach likely saved countless lives and prevented a catastrophic event in Vienna. Taylor Swift, who was informed of the plot after it was foiled, expressed her gratitude to the authorities in a statement released by her publicist. “I am deeply thankful for the dedication and bravery of the CIA, Austrian police, and all those involved in keeping everyone safe,” Swift said. “The safety of my fans is of the utmost importance, and I’m relieved that the concert will go on as planned.” The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the security of major public events, particularly those involving high-profile figures. Experts warn that as long as radical ideologies continue to proliferate online, the threat of terrorism will persist, requiring constant vigilance and international cooperation. The successful foiling of this plot serves as a powerful example of what can be achieved when nations work together to combat common threats.
