The husband of Kamala Harris has portrayed a "completely fabricated persona" as a public figure, according to a former girlfriend of second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who said she was "embarrassed and humiliated" when he slapped her hard after a gala dinner at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in the South of France.

Two of our commie leaders, Letitia James, New York Attorney General, and Sen. Chuck U. Schumer, participated in the WNBA Liberty championship parade in NYC. A sports parade! What a joke. Schumer and Leticia James celebrated on a lite-up liberty float. What are they celebrating? The migrant crime in the city? The abject homelessness and […] The post Watch Two NY Commies Dance While New York Burns appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Sentinel reported earlier that Stacey Williams, a former model, claimed that 31 years ago, she was groped by Donald Trump. According to her, she was Jeffrey Epstein’s friend, and they were walking together when Epstein suggested they visit Trump. They did. No sooner did Trump say hello when he groped her, and she did nothing. […] The post Stacey Williams Story Against Donald Trump Doesn’t Wash appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

'The Second Circuit got it wrong the first time'

'Trump being a fascist'

Under the Biden-Harris administration, the United States has become a “garbage can for the world,” former President Donald Trump said at a campaign rally Thursday in Tempe, Arizona.  “When [Vice President Kamala Harris] came in, she deliberately dismantled our border and threw open the gates … to an invasion of criminal migrants from prisons and jails, from insane asylums and mental institutions, from all over the world,” Trump said.   “We’re a dumping ground, were like a garbage can for the world,” he said, adding that was the first time he had ever used that phrasing. In September, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that more than 662,000 criminal illegal aliens have been released into the interior of the U.S. Among those, 435,719 had already been convicted of a crime, with 226,847 more facing pending criminal charges.  “Kamala’s migrant invasion, given to us through gross incompetence, disqualifies her from even thinking about being president,” Trump said.   Under the Biden-Harris administration, at least 99 illegal aliens on America’s terrorist watchlist have been released into the United States, according to a congressional report. It has been estimated that more than 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S. under the current administration, and remain in the country. Presuming victory on Nov. 5, Trump pledged to a cheering crowd that his presidency would end the “migrant invasion” and bring about “the restoration of our country.”   “We will stop all illegal immigration,” he said.   "We will stop all illegal immigration," Trump tells voters in Arizona. pic.twitter.com/0o1E0XTIHs— Virginia Allen (@Virginia_Allen5) October 24, 2024 While speaking in Arizona, Trump was critical of the corporate media, calling them the “enemy of the people.” He explained that the outlets that stream his rallies don’t move their cameras to show the “great clips” he plays on a large screen for the crowd. Most Americans have no trust at all in the media—and for good reason.Trump is stating the obvious. But go ahead and keep defending your biggest cheerleaders in the corrupt corporate media. https://t.co/DmeyrxqTCd— Rob Bluey (@RobertBluey) October 24, 2024 Trump went on to discuss the economy, pledging to end taxes on tip, and promised to reinvigorate American energy production through fracking and drilling. He also said he would keep men out of women’s sports, defend the freedom of speech, and protect the Second Amendment. TRUMP: "We will keep men out of women's sports. Can you believe it? Who would have thought you'd have to say that." pic.twitter.com/K6HKK97fsJ— Virginia Allen (@Virginia_Allen5) October 24, 2024 Arizona is one of seven swing states in the 2024 presidential election, and polls show Trump and Harris neck and neck in the state. A Marist Poll published Thursday reports Trump leading with 50% of the vote to Harris’ 49%.   Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, is expected to largely determine which candidate wins the border state’s 11 electoral votes.   The post Harris’ Open Border Has Turned US Into ‘Garbage Can for the World,’ Trump Says appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Things I Like: Mark Halperin and 2 Way

In politics, the way leaders engage with the public often reflects their true character. Some roll up their sleeves and immerse themselves in everyday activities, while others maintain a distance, suggesting that they have more important concerns. Last week highlighted three distinct interactions: Donald Trump served McDonald's in Pennsylvania, JD Vance poured beers at a Wisconsin bar, and Kamala Harris missed the high-profile Al Smith charity dinner in New York. These instances collectively illustrate the varied ways politicians connect with or avoid the public. In politics — as in life — showing up matters. Harris didn’t. And that speaks louder than any speech she might have given. Trump working the fryer at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania might seem like a publicity stunt to some. However, dismissing it as merely that overlooks its significance. For many of Trump’s supporters, his actions were not just for show — they symbolized his ongoing connection with them. McDonald’s represents more than just fast food; it is a staple of everyday American life. When Trump stood at the drive-thru window, handing over customers’ orders, he sent a clear message: I see you. I’m with you. The same can be said for Vance, Trump’s running mate, who recently jumped behind the bar at a Wisconsin pub to pour drinks for patrons. On the surface, it was a small gesture. But for a U.S. senator who built his political identity on his working-class roots and who wrote the best-selling “Hillbilly Elegy” about his own rise from poverty, serving beers isn’t just an act. It’s a reminder that leadership, at its core, is about service. It tells voters, I’m not above this. I’m one of you. Critics might dismiss these as mere gimmicks. True, appearances play a role in politics, but these gestures carry significance. At a time when many Americans feel neglected by elites, simple acts of connection make an impact. They show that politics involves more than speeches and policies — it’s about being present where it counts for ordinary people. And that brings us to Kamala Harris. Her absence from last week’s Al Smith Dinner spoke volumes. The Al Smith event is not just any gathering; it is a bipartisan charity gala where politicians can lighten up and raise money for a good cause. It’s a rare occasion for unity in politics. By skipping this event, Harris, whether intentionally or not, suggested there is little value in bipartisan engagement, even for charity. It’s a small decision, but it reflects a larger trend. More and more, some politicians seem unwilling to step outside their ideological comfort zones, even for symbolic moments of unity. Leadership isn’t just about pushing an agenda — it’s also about being visible, being approachable, and showing up. That’s what makes Trump's and Vance’s actions so striking. Say what you want about them, but at least they showed up. Trump, a former billionaire and TV star, served fries at a McDonald’s, and Vance, a best-selling author and U.S. senator, poured beers at a Wisconsin tavern, signaling to voters overlooked by Washington elites that they are part of their world, not above it. Kamala Harris’ absence from the Al Smith Dinner was more than a skipped event; it represented a missed opportunity. These moments are not solely about charity; they symbolize national unity, demonstrating that even in disagreement, we stand together. By not participating, politicians like Harris risk appearing aloof or dismissive, a perilous stance in today’s polarized America. The lesson is clear: In politics, presence counts. From Donald Trump serving burgers and fries to JD Vance pouring pints, these acts reveal how politicians perceive their connection with the public. Politicians who actively engage, no matter how minor the gesture, invariably gain an advantage over those who opt out. You can call Trump’s and Vance’s moves stunts if you want. But the truth is, they put themselves out there. They made the effort. And in politics — as in life — showing up matters. Harris didn’t show up. And that speaks louder than any speech she could have given.
