Morrissey stands as one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of British music. Born Steven Patrick Morrissey on May 22, 1959, in Davyhulme, Lancashire, his early years were shaped by the gritty working-class environment of Manchester, where his Irish immigrant parents settled. Growing up in the shadow of economic hardship, he developed a love for literature, particularly drawn to themes of isolation and rebellion, which would later define his music career. Before rising to fame, Morrissey had brief stints with local punk bands, but it was his collaboration with Johnny Marr that launched The Smiths in 1982, propelling The post Top 10 Morrissey Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Hispanic voters are bolting from the Democrats faster than Kamala Harris can say “Latinx.”  This is one of the most significant trends in this year’s presidential campaign. The growing discontent is a result of economic frustration as well as a broader cultural clash over values, as many Hispanics reject the Biden-Harris administration’s radical positions on gender ideology and parental rights.  According to the most recent NBC/Telemundo poll, Harris leads former President Donald Trump with Hispanic voters by 14 percentage points. However, that is the smallest margin for a Democrat in over a decade.  Every other presidential Democratic candidate since 2012 had an advantage of at least 36 points and, eventually, went on to win the Hispanic vote by similarly significant margins. The NBC poll is far from an outlier. The latest Quinnipiac University survey shows that Harris’ lead among Hispanics nationally is down to single digits. In the key battleground states of Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Harris is only slightly ahead.  In the border state of Arizona, Trump is actually winning the Hispanic vote. This increased support of Hispanics for Trump and Republicans is driven by several factors.  According to the Pew Research Center, the economy is the top issue for Hispanic voters. Often with larger families and lower median incomes, Hispanics have been disproportionately hurt by crippling inflation and the massive influx of illegal immigrants into their communities.  Under Trump, Hispanic unemployment hit a record low of 4% and, contrary to common assumptions, more than half of Hispanic voters support stricter border security measures.  Yet Hispanics are also disgusted by the Biden-Harris administration’s extreme cultural agenda. Two-thirds identify as Catholic or Protestant. And it turns out they aren’t thrilled about the latest “woke” school offerings: teachers chatting about sex with their kids in class and allowing adult men access to girls’ locker rooms.  An American Principles Project survey of Hispanic voters in Arizona and Nevada revealed strong opposition to these progressive positions. Over two-thirds surveyed said schools should stick to teaching the fundamentals and leave “sex and racial issues” to parents. Hispanics are repulsed by the Left’s obsession with “transgender kids” and “transgender girls of color,” and reports that reveal 5,700 minors underwent sex-change surgeries in the United States in the last four years. Trump is making inroads with Hispanic voters by slamming “transgender insanity” and running ads denouncing Harris’s support for taxpayer-funded sex-change treatments and surgeries. The blitz against Harris on cultural issues has been so effective that even Democrat strategists had to “concede” to The New York Times that it is “taking a toll in some races.”  But wait, the Democrats have an ingenious trick up their sleeve! The Harris campaign announced the launch of a coalition called “Hombres con Harris”—literally, “Men With Harris.” The campaign apparently hopes this new group will help stem the party’s losses among Hispanic men. Just like “White Dudes for Harris” has been so helpful for her support among Caucasian males.  But in truth, it’s the Democrats’ far-left agenda, not a lack of awkwardly named affinity groups, that is repelling Hispanic voters.  Hispanics have historically voted Democrat, but they do believe in common sense and that parents know what is best for their children.  If the Republican Party wants to solidify and expand its gains with Hispanic voters, it must continue to champion commonsense policies that prioritize family values, parental rights, and economic opportunity.  Hispanic voters have had enough of being treated like a checkbox for the Democrats. They’re making their voices heard, and this time, it might just sound like “Adios!” We publish a variety of perspectives.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A migrant caravan is heading northward toward the United States a few weeks before Election Day, the results of which will almost undoubtedly spell changes for border enforcement policies, according to The Associated Press. A roughly 2,000-person-strong migrant caravan left southern Mexico on Sunday in hopes of reaching the U.S. in the coming days, according to the AP. The latest caravan is so far the largest since newly-elected Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum entered office in October. Among those in the caravan are individuals who expressed concern that a new administration in Washington, D.C., would lead to the end of a popular app that has allowed hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals to schedule appointments with Customs and Border Protection officials in hopes of entering the country. “That is what makes us fearful,” Joel Zambrano, a Venezuelan national, said to The Associated Press. “They say this could change because they could both close the CBP One appointment and all the services that are helping migrants.” The CBP One app was first created in October 2020, with the Biden-Harris administration dramatically expanding its use in January 2023. The popular app enables migrants to schedule appointments in order to obtain exemptions at ports of entry, and permits them to submit biometric data to federal immigration authorities in order to apply for travel authorization and obtain parole. More than 800,000 noncitizens scheduled appointments through the CBP One app from January 2023 through the end of August 2024, according to CBP. The Biden-Harris administration has additionally flown in more than half a million foreign nationals into the country via an initiative known as CHNV—a program that grants two-year parole to Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan nationals. Roughly 7.4 million migrants have illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration, according to the latest data from CBP. While the CBP One app and an election-year crackdown on illegal immigration by the Mexican government have helped keep migrants in southern Mexico, many are reportedly leaving the region due to a delay in asylum appointments and a lack of job opportunities. “The situation in my country is very bad, the president doesn’t do anything for us. We spent a week by the border, but getting documents takes time,” Honduran Roberto Domínguez said to The Associated Press. “The documents we get are only for us to be in Tapachula and we cannot leave the city.” Despite an attempt to brand herself as more of a border hawk since launching her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris has consistently polled poorly with voters on border enforcement issues following her administration’s oversight of a historical border crisis. Former President Donald Trump, for his part, has pledged to hire 10,000 Border Patrol agents, give them a 10% pay bump, and wage a large-scale deportation effort.

Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign slogan was "In Your Heart You Know He's Right." It was Goldwater's way of saying that the conservative principles he espoused resonated with the majority of Americans, despite any reluctance they might have to express them publicly. On today's Morning Joe, occasional Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham -- a man no longer capable of making Biden sound coherent -- turned Goldwater's slogan on its head. He said of traditional Republicans who support Trump: "In their hearts they know [it's] wrong." Meacham made his comments in the context of railing--along with Joe Scarborough--against a Wall Street Journal editorial rejecting the attempt by Democrats and the liberal media to brand Trump a "fascist."  The editorial obviously enraged Morning Joe, since calling Trump a fascist is Joe's stock in trade! The editorial is replete with pointed criticisms of Trump. But it makes the point that Trump's record during his presidency rebuts the notion that he would act like a fascist if elected again. The Journal also expresses confidence in the system of checks and balances to restrain any possible bad impulses Trump might harbor.  Finally, the editorial points to numerous tramplings of democratic norms by the Democrats themselves.  Meacham  suggested that Americans looking for guidance as to "the central thesis of the American republic" should turn to Washington's Farewell Address, wherein he wrote: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." But whereas Washington considered religion "indispensable," Meacham was only too happy to dispense with it, saying, "Leave out, if you want to, leave out the religious part for a minute." A very long minute—since Meacham never got around to discussing religion's role. These are the Democrats, who don't like the God talk. It sounds to them like "patriarchy." Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 10/21/24 6:08 am EDT JON MEACHAM: The central thesis, the central thesis of the American republic, if you want to go back to George Washington's Farewell Address, was that this republic cannot exist without the moral and religious principle of a people. And leave out, if you want to, leave out the religious part for a minute. And let's just talk about the moral part. . . .  What worries me to death, nearly, is either the kinds of Republicans that we know and grew up with, either really believe this, they really believe that there's really a kind of both sides thing, which is bad enough. And what's even a little worse is they don't really believe it.  But because they are not sufficiently troubled by what the former president represents, they're looking for anything they can tell themselves to justify doing something that I think in their hearts they know is wrong.
