There's Something About Gwen Walz: 'Well, She's As Nutty As Squirrel Poop for One Thing'

On Nov. 5, the American experiment in republican government may well come to an end. Over the past two decades, we have been living through a slow-motion communist revolution. Acts of political warfare have become commonplace. The most devastating has been the corruption of our election system. Having vilified Donald Trump more than any man in American history, the American communists and their allies in the Democratic Party (and the communist world abroad) may well be able to steal the 2024 election. One thing needs to be made clear: If this happens, they will have created an ungovernable country. We may well be in for the kind of murder, mayhem, and sabotage that the American left has so brazenly embraced. I have two kinds of colleagues: those who believe it is going to be a wave election and therefore a blowout for President Trump; and those who believe the election can be stolen, given the massive cyber vulnerability of our electronic voting system and the refusal of blue-state governors and secretaries of state to build a transparent, same-day voting system. At this stage of the game, I believe it will be a blowout win for President Trump. But I realize that it may well be stolen for reasons I describe in my American Mind essay “The Diminishing Likelihood of a Fair Election.” The RealClearPolitics average of polls has Donald Trump either up or tied in the seven swing states. Very few if any undecided voters remain at this point. In these polls, Trump has historically “underperformed,” as the pollsters say. This means that a two-point lead by President Trump is likely a four- or five-point lead. Perhaps more telling are the right track-wrong track polls that ask Americans whether or not the country is headed in the right direction. As of October 29, only 27% of the American people believe the country is on the right track. This is historically low. Never has an incumbent vice president won an election for president with these numbers. That 27% is obviously the Democratic base: hard-core progressives, communists, abortionists, and transgenderists. Only they could believe the country is on the right track. Simple math would suggest that even much of the traditional Democratic Party base believes the country is not going in ways that are conducive to the happiness and welfare of the American people. Yes, but we are told that Donald Trump is a racist, sexist beast virtually indistinguishable from Adolf Hitler. How can this man win? This caricature, however effective it may have been in 2016 and 2020, has lost its effectiveness in 2024. The first Trump administration was not an exercise in the exploitation of blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities. It ushered in economic good times for these groups, who enjoyed greater prosperity and freedom than at any other time in the history of the United States. Their lived experience demonstrated to them that President Trump saw them not as a problem but rather as an integral part of American society and economic life. Charges of racism, ridiculous on their face, have grown meaningless to everyday Americans. Deep state on defense Then there is the matter of Kamala Harris. Harris was an obscure vice president, previously unpopular even among the Democratic Party base. Her public performances are nothing short of bizarre, ranging from frenetic to what can only be described as addled, possibly by drugs or alcohol. She is not, in short, running a credible campaign. Even within left-wing popular culture, she comes off as little more than a joke. Does anyone believe that if President Biden had dropped out of the race last year and there had been a competitive primary season, Kamala Harris would today be the nominee of the Democratic Party? She would likely have done little better than she did in 2020. The country is quite alive to this fact. So the question “What if Kamala wins?” must be answered in light of the fact that she should not win by any conventional understanding of polls and public opinion. But will Harris win? A substantial number of serious people believe that the 2024 election can indeed be stolen. Very little has changed in the seven swing states that decided the 2020 election. If anything remains obvious, it is that there are substantial numbers of deep-state operatives within the Biden administration who know that if President Trump is elected, they will most certainly face investigation — and for those who have committed crimes, prosecution. Violence is not an option. But a political disintegration of red America from blue America is not impossible. The accusation that a second Trump administration would more broadly investigate journalists and purveyors of popular broadcast media is of course absurd. To the contrary, Trump would enjoy their collective misery as they watched him Make America Great Again. But there are people within the intelligence community and the Department of Justice who crossed all manner of lines in their treatment of President Trump and his allies such as Steve Bannon (just released from prison). Likewise, the Secret Service’s failures to protect Trump this summer constitute an astonishing stain upon this republic. So a large number of powerful people within our government have a vested interest in seeing Trump lose. For all of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s warnings of Russian and Chinese influence operations in the election, one doubts that a finger will be lifted to stop either country, or their surrogates within the drug cartels and dark money groups, from working to alter the results of the election. A looming legitimacy crisis Clearly our American oligarchs on Wall Street, in Hollywood, and in Silicon Valley have decided that Kamala Harris is not their cup of tea. Witness the fact that the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and USA Today did not endorse Kamala Harris. But they may not have a say if nation-state actors or dark money groups genuinely want Trump defeated. Our system is not designed to stop determined adversaries of a free and fair election. So if Kamala Harris does win, it will, as of today, be the result of a stolen election. Under these circumstances, America will become an ungovernable country. Large groups of Americans will believe their vote no longer counts. We have the experience this summer of Venezuela, where it was clear that the opposition party won — so said the Biden administration — only to have the Maduro regime keep hold of power by affirming the fraudulent results and gutting it out publicly against domestic and world opinion. One imagines the Harris campaign learned a lesson from that. For four years, the Biden-Harris administration has attempted to bolster its shaky legitimacy through the manipulation of economic data and crime statistics. Despite ludicrous claims to the contrary, everyday Americans are not better off — as that 27% “right track” figure clearly shows. Regardless of who wins, Americans must prepare themselves and their families for what could be great societal dislocation. Imagine another administration suffering not merely from a lack of but from a crisis in legitimacy. Americans in large numbers will believe they have had their country stolen from them and may choose no longer to participate in the body politic. Given the lack of transparency within our election system, this type of attitude by Americans would be likely to persist even if Harris did win a completely fair election. This is a worst-case scenario, but certainly possible under the circumstances. Americans can be a very rough lot of people when they want to be. You can rig one election before their eyes, but can you rig two? And can you rig the second one so openly and brazenly and expect that the American people will not push back? How they push back is another matter, but it would serve the interest of America’s enemies to face a nation even more deeply divided than ours already is. Violence is not an option. But a political disintegration of red America from blue America is not impossible. Elon Musk to the rescue? I have three key recommendations, most of which rely on Elon Musk, who has the resources and platform to make them a reality. First, establish a whistleblower program that offers a multimillion-dollar reward for concrete evidence of nation-state-level efforts to tamper with the election, whether through counterfeit mail-in ballots, fraudulent Election Day ballots, overseas ballots, or cyberattacks on our electronic voting system. While electronic voting companies may have good intentions, dismissing the possibility of cyber manipulation is naïve. Any computer-based system carries some potential for exploitation. A large-scale whistleblower program could help uncover the truth if such interference is occurring. Second, Musk could launch a “Decision Desk 2024” on X, both in Spaces and on the “America” video platform. We shouldn’t leave the announcement of election results solely to the legacy broadcast media, as if they hold some divine authority. Mainstream outlets — from Fox News to MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS — have become propaganda arms of the American deep state. By doing so, they’ve disqualified themselves from an objective role. Elon Musk can build a team of respected journalists and analysts to perform their own calculations and judgments about who won the election. He and his platform have a greater reach both nationally and internationally than the “mainstream” media. Imagine Elon Musk with Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the like examining the results. Not only would they be better trusted, but the democratization of the results by all the users of X would serve the American people better as well. Finally, regardless of who wins, Americans must prepare themselves and their families for what could be great societal dislocation. We cannot ignore the potential, in the days and weeks after the election, for violence fueled by American communists, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, pro-Palestinian jihadists, and the 100,000 Chinese Special Forces who may have come over our open borders over the last three and a half years. We may well be in for the kind of murder, mayhem, and sabotage that the American left has so brazenly embraced. We may also see China, Iran, and Russia take advantage of this situation by making moves on Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine during America’s interruption of leadership and civil unrest. In other words, Americans must be prepared. It is my sincere hope that Kamala Harris will concede on election night after she has lost. I pray for the country if she lets the counting continue for days and weeks on end and nefarious behavior ensues. That may yet be in the cards, but the country does not deserve it. Let us pray to God instead that the decency of the American people prevails and that there can be a peaceful transfer of power after a sufficiently fair election.

Kamala Harris has been speaking at churches over the past few weeks, including congregations in Atlanta and Philadelphia. While President Trump is expected to gain strong support from white evangelicals, Harris appears to be aiming for similar backing among black Christians. However, she represents a party whose top policy priorities — such as abortion and Pride Month celebrations — conflict with biblical teachings.In politics, I believe values should always trump skin color. My faith shapes my views and my vote, even though I understand that no party or candidate can fully align with my beliefs. Ideally, a Christian should seek a candidate who shares, embodies, and legislates biblical values. This is the kind of leader with the character, understanding, and temperament to promote policies that support civil order and human flourishing. While some argue that morality can’t be legislated, few would dispute the need for laws against theft, perjury, or murder.If using the Bible to dismantle racial discrimination was righteous in 1964, why is it hateful to use it to defend the unborn and uphold the sex binary in 2024?Every law reflects someone’s belief system. Politicians with strong convictions on family, education, and public safety issues will often champion these values, even when others shy away. The principled politician uses the bully pulpit to promote a positive cultural vision, resisting the fierce political headwinds that protect the status quo.Sometimes, no candidate running shares your values. When that happens, I turn to the next tier of candidates — those who respect, accept, and defend my values. For example, a politician doesn’t need to be a church deacon to see the hypocrisy of a city prohibiting a congregation from gathering outdoors during COVID-19 while allowing a large political march a month before a presidential election. Similarly, a candidate who sends their child to a private school can still advocate school choice policies that benefit working-class families.On the other hand, a politician who sends their kids to an expensive private school but opposes programs that would extend this option to poor and working-class families represents the lowest tier of candidates. These politicians despise, condemn, and even criminalize my values. My primary identities are Christian, husband, and father — in that order. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for a politician whose policies are hostile to any of these. Colorado baker Jack Phillips spent over a decade fighting frivolous lawsuits because progressives view Christians who don’t conform to LGBT ideology as bigots.Yes, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are on the ballot, but faithful Christians should see the 2024 election as less about a choice between two candidates and more about a clash of worldviews.The vice president’s decision to make abortion the centerpiece of her campaign is a reflection of the modern left’s priorities. So was Joe Biden’s decision to appoint a man who “identifies” as a woman — Dr. “Rachel” Levine, born Richard — as the most visible figure in the nation’s public health system. Given the fact Harris bragged about providing surgery for transgender inmates while she was California’s attorney general, voters can expect even more radicalism if she becomes president. It’s no surprise that the administration labels the social, chemical, and surgical “transition” of minors as “gender-affirming care” and criticizes conservative states attempting to ban such procedures on minors.Democrats have elevated pride — a traditional deadly sin — to one of their three core virtues, alongside abortion and pagan Earth worship. This may sound simplistic to some, but progressives today are more vocal about promoting social norms tied to sexual orientation and gender identity than about advancing policies on labor or infrastructure.This is why elected officials in federal, state, and local government all bow before the Pride flag. The mayor of New York City said drag queens are advancing a love of literacy in the nation’s largest school district. Wisconsin’s governor bragged on social media about signing a bill that would keep boys out of girls’ sports. In fact, it is far more difficult to find a congressional Democrat who affirms there are only two sexes than it is to find one who rejects the belief men can have babies.The evidence is crystal clear: These aren’t your daddy’s Democrats.On the other side is Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement. Like all slogans, people read meaning into those words in ways that sometimes sound absurd, including the assumption that the former president wants to return the country to the political and social norms of the Jim Crow South.The core of the MAGA movement puts the interests of American citizens above those of foreign nations and international organizations. It advocates strong borders, lower taxes, domestic energy production, conservative judicial appointments, pro-life policies, a strong economy, law and order, school choice, and the natural family.Nothing in this agenda conflicts with a Christian’s commitment to God. Loving our neighbors doesn’t mean encouraging them to reject their God-given bodies for a “gender identity” that leads to cross-sex hormones and genital mutilation.Some Christians refuse to vote for Donald Trump due to his speech, demeanor, and conduct, arguing that character is an essential quality in a leader. However, a soft-spoken figure like Dr. Ben Carson can support both pro-manners and pro-MAGA policies, while today’s Democratic candidates at all levels of government align with pro-LGBT and pro-abortion agendas. Rejecting God’s creational work in Genesis isn’t a bug in the left’s political project — it’s a defining feature.That said, an honest look at both parties should caution believers against equating the Republican Party with biblical values. I understand the concern. The GOP’s 2024 platform softened its language on key social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. Trump has criticized pro-life laws in Florida and other states as too strict, although he consistently maintains that abortion laws should be decided at the state level.Many Christians view a vote for the Harris-Walz ticket as a vote for civility, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Campaign surrogates use race and gender to persuade voters, from black men to white Christians, into supporting politicians who oppose their values. Americans — regardless of color — should not fall for this trap. If using the Bible to dismantle racial discrimination was righteous in 1964, why is it hateful to use it to defend the unborn and uphold the sex binary in 2024?

A Chinese student legally in the U.S. will be criminally charged for illegally casting a vote in the election, and the ballot will reportedly be included in the official count because it cannot be voided. 'Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution.' The 19-year-old allegedly voted on Sunday in Ann Arbor, according to a statement from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office.The student, who was not identified, used his identification from the University of Michigan to vote and then later contacted the local clerk's office to ask if he could get his ballot back, according to Benson's office. The Detroit News reported that the voting system in Michigan does not allow a ballot to be traced to an individual voter, so officials will not be able to void the ballot, according to sources familiar with Michigan election laws. "We’re grateful for the swift action of the clerk in this case, who took the appropriate steps and referred the case to law enforcement," read the statement from Benson's office and the county prosecutor. "Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution." In 2018, the voters approved a measure that would allow votes to be cast in Michigan up to Election Day and also for proof of residency to be confirmed through driver's license, a utility bill, a state identification card, or university records.A statement from the secretary of state and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office cautioned that noncitizens voting in elections was "extremely isolated and rare." The statement added that voting records in Michigan were public. "Any noncitizen who attempts to vote fraudulently in Michigan will be exposing themselves to great risk and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," the statement read. Like Blaze News?

The left is half balking at, half rejoicing in comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s jabs at Puerto Rico during Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. On one hand, they’re disgusted by the so-called xenophobia and racism. On the other hand, they’re thrilled that the insult that Puerto Rico is “a floating island of garbage” will surely drive Latinos to the polls to vote for Kamala Harris. Actually, no it won’t. According to Armin Mizani, Puerto Rican mayor of Keller, Texas, the Hinchcliffe controversy won't impact the election as much as the left hopes it will. Mayor Mizani joined Glenn Beck to explain why “millions of Latinos” will still be voting for Donald Trump. — (@) “I’ll tell you what’s on Puerto Ricans’ minds — it’s the fact that, on any given day, you can’t account for the fact of whether or not your power is going to be on,” Mayor Mizani told Glenn. “Frankly, what in my opinion is garbage is the fact that we’ve got a government in Puerto Rico that should be attending to its people — great people. But you saw it with the hurricane that happened back in 2017. It’s a misallocation of funds,” he explained, adding that “a lot of Puerto Ricans ... are awakening” to the reality of their corrupt government. As for the Puerto Rican voters in the United States who know what’s going on in their home country, Mizani knows what’s really motivating them — and it’s not some crude joke. In a tweet Mizani posted on October 28, he made it clear what actually motivates Latinos: “faith, family, and economic opportunity.” “Under the Biden and Harris administration, Americans have seen record inflation, an open southern border, increased crime, the weakening of the family structure, and the taking away of God from our daily lives. In contrast, under President Trump, Americans saw secured borders, economic prosperity, a respect for people of faith, and a respect for American values,” he wrote. “This is why I, along with millions of Latinos, will help re-elect President Trump back into the White House.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
