Jim Messina, who was the campaign manager for Barack Obama in 2012, warned that the early voting data could be a red flag for Vice President Kamala Harris amid reports of early voting turnout for Republicans. 

New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently characterized New Yorkers who vote for Republican House candidates as “anti-American” and “anti-women.”

As we reported last Friday, Kamala turned in a catastrophic jobs report. The US labor market is becoming a temp agency for foreign workers and government bureaucrats. The economy is in freefall and even government spending can’t make up the losses. So first, the numbers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs grew last […] The post US Labor Market Is a Temp Agency for Foreigners & Government Workers appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

One of the Most Influential and Important 80s Games Returns on November 14In entertainment media, if you’re looking for a pioneer or progenitor to a popular corner of the industry in the 2020s, many will bring up a creation of the 1980s that continues to resonate with fans to this day. It’s evident across the board, but perhaps no more so than in video gaming. The 80s were hugely influential in what is now the highest-earning corner of the entertainment market, and one of its all-time greats will return on November 14. This is when Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake lands on all platforms. Created in 1988 to be the prequel to Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II of 1986 and 1987, the series is hailed as one of the most influential of all time. Now, a whole host of DQIII videos Square Enix has released, showcasing the new and remade game mechanics, graphics, features, and story elements. This has increased the hype and demonstrated the confidence that this remake is required. One of Many Influencers from the 80sThe 80s was a marvelous time for creativity in entertainment, and even now, you can see the influences of these breakthroughs in new creations and trends. Blade Runner, released in 1982, is very much the progenitor of what is now the cyberpunk setting. It fused noir, tech, sci-fi, and neon to forge a new line of science fiction on pop culture. Not only did it get a strong sequel recently, but its influence remains visible in games like Cyberpunk 2077. You could also look to Airplane! of 1980, which set a new standard for spoof comedy that countless films have attempted – and often failed – to replicate since. With its endless barrage of jokes, Airplane!, says NBCNews, pushes boundaries in the right way. Then, there are the entertainment inventions that spurred industries. It was in the 1980s that electronics were first programmed into what were already very popular slot machines. In fact, a 1984 patent by Inge Telnaes laid the foundations for greater payout potential that remains viable for a casino business, shortly followed by the first $1 million jackpot slot. Now, we can see this evolved into the most popular games at the best PayPal casinos Canada has to offer. Progressive jackpots never fail to boast massive player bases, paying out increasingly hefty sums that have been made all the more accessible by PayPal deposits.A Well-Deserved RemakeThe 1980s is the home of Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Pac-Man, SimCity, and the massive Dragon Quest franchise. Not only is the original trilogy hailed as the first console RPG, and one that laid the foundations of gameplay that we still see emulated today, but it formed what is a cultural phenomenon and one of the biggest media properties in Japan! Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the first of two releases to bring back this incredibly important 80s release. The 1988 game is a standalone launch, but will be followed by the first two games as a double release for one purchase. So, we’ll get to enjoy the sensational original trilogy in chronological order and in all its remade HD-2D splendor. The graphics update and story will make the remake appealing to modern players who didn’t play the originals. To enhance its appeal as a repeat purchase for its original fans, developers Arte Piazza have loaded it up with monster arena tournaments, new story beats, new party customization options, a new vocation, and the chance to reuse volunteers in other saves. Easily among the most influential entertainment creations of the 1980s, the Dragon Quest trilogy is fully deserving of a major remake and renewed success in 2024. The trilogy returns this November with Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles exposes the failures, the fatal disasters, and the just plain “weird” happenings of the Biden-Harris presidency in his damning 10-minute election recap.  From the border crisis and botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to spying on Catholics and cross-dressing admin officials stealing women’s luggage, Knowles takes a “trip down memory lane” for any voter still unsure of how to vote this cycle.  The Biden-Harris Presidency EXPOSED In 10 Mins pic.twitter.com/kKx8x9MdM7 — The Michael Knowles Show (@MKnowlesShow) November 2, 2024 “Election Day is almost here, and it has been a crazy three and a half years that led us to this point,” Knowles says. “The establishment media have done their best to cover up the many historic failures of the Biden-Harris administration. But we have the receipts.” Here are the eight craziest.   1. The Border Crisis Knowles detailed how Biden and Harris nullified former President Donald Trump’s border policies within hours of being sworn in, and later ended Trump’s vital “Remain in Mexico” policy.  “The result has been the worst migration crisis in U.S. history,” Knowles said, noting that the crisis directly led to numerous high-profile crimes, including the murders of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. Additionally, about 200,000 Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses.    2. Vaccine Mandates The Biden-Harris administration mandated the COVID vaccine for federal workers and tried to extend the mandate to some private sector companies. The Daily Wire sued over that mandate, and won at the Supreme Court, invalidating the order.    3. The Afghanistan Debacle Seven months into the Biden-Harris presidency, the administration “botched the pullout from Afghanistan, a decision that left 13 U.S. servicemen dead, and surrendered more than $7 billion worth of military equipment to the Taliban, which quickly retook control of Afghanistan, squandering two decades of American involvement in the region,” Knowles recalled. Harris has since bragged about being the “last person in the room” with Biden when he made the decision to pull out.    4. Wars And Chaos Everywhere  Knowles also explained the moves from the Biden-Harris administration that allowed Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine. “Hundreds of thousands of people killed, and upwards of three-quarters of a million wounded in a war funded by $64.1 billion of U.S. taxpayer money,” he said.  Under Biden and Harris, the United States also watched “as China flew a spy balloon over U.S. territory for eight days straight,” Knowles noted. The admin also gave Iran access to $16 billion in previously frozen assets, which Knowles called “a favor Iran repaid a few months later on October 7, when its proxies attacked Israel, murdering 1,139 people, including 46 Americans.”   5. A Bad Economy On the economy, Knowles explained how the ironically-named Inflation Reduction Act actually “exacerbated inflation,” driving it up a total of 20%. He also points out that U.S. debt has increased substantially under Biden and Harris.    6. Creepy Staffers Moving on to the “just plain odd,” Knowles recalled how Sam Brinton, the Biden-Harris “nuclear waste guru” was “arrested for stealing women’s clothing at airports.” Dialing up their commitment to LGBT ideology, the administration also declared Easter Sunday a “Transgender Day of Visibility” in 2024, and mandated schools permit males into female spaces if they identify as transgender.   7. Persecuting Religious Believers Knowles also highlighted the Biden-Harris administration’s “spying” on traditional Catholic parishes, lying about that spying, and targeting concerned parents at school board meetings.    8. Harris Covering Up Biden’s Decline Closing the video, Knowles reminded viewers of Democrats, including Harris, lying about Biden’s obvious mental decline for years — until the president’s debate performance was so bad, the Democrat party machine replaced him with Harris, who did not win a single primary vote.
