Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) admitted over the weekend that Vice President Kamala Harris is flip flopping on major issues because she is trying to beat former President Donald Trump, not because she believes her new alleged stances. Sanders made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” while discussing the state of the 2024 presidential election. “In addition to the Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all single-payer for health care, and ending fracking, in addition to those being positions that you hold, Vice President Harris used to be with you on all three of them and now is against you on all three of them,” Tapper said. “Is she making a mistake having reversed those positions?” he asked. Sanders responded: “I think what we’re seeing is a coalition of people, more establishment Democrats and progressive Democrats and progressive independents — I’m the longest serving independent in American history — come together with the goal of defeating a very dangerous candidate. And that is Donald Trump.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Sanders made the remarks after Tapper played comments that Sanders has made on the campaign trail about what he believes needs to happen policy-wise in the U.S. “I am proud to announce today that I am an original co- sponsor of the Green New Deal proposal,” Sanders said in the clip. “We need to move to a Medicare-for-all single-payer program. If we are serious about combating climate change, we need to put an end to fracking.” WATCH: TAPPER: Kamala supported the Green New Deal, Medicare For All, and a ban on fracking. Is she making a mistake reversing those positions? BERNIE: She’s trying to beat Donald Trump. There you have it.

Former President Donald Trump made a stop on Sunday at a McDonald’s restaurant while campaigning in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. Trump put on an apron, worked the fry cooker with the help of one of the employees, and handed food to a news crew at the drive-thru window.

I like every ounce of it. Everything! But I do like the french fries, where I’ll be working.” Trump also took a swipe at his 2024 rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, who said on the campaign trail that she “did fries” and worked the cash register at McDonald’s while in college.

She never worked here,” Trump quipped to people standing outside the drive-thru window. "NOW I HAVE WORKED AT MCDONALD'S 15 MINUTES MORE THAN KAMALA."

Trump, a well-known fast food aficionado, said McDonald’s is an “amazing business.” He added that “it’s an amazing country and we’re going to make America greater than ever before.” Note: This story is developing and will be updated.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) struggled to defend Vice President Kamala Harris late last week when asked why she has flipped-flopped on her stances on energy. The moment came during an interview with Margaret Hoover on PBS News’ “Firing Line” when asked about why she has changed on everything from banning fracking to mandating electric vehicles. “What I’d like to ask you, governor, is has she told you why she changed her position?” Hoover asked. “We need to produce more energy in this country for our economy, for national security,” he said. “We’re producing more energy right now than ever before, and that’s something we should be proud of. I’m certainly proud of that as the governor of Pennsylvania, where we are a net energy exporter.” While it is true that the U.S. is producing more energy now than ever before, the rate of new energy production has slowed under the Biden-Harris administration and has cost the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars in lost GDP. “I think Kamala Harris’s views on this issue have changed and as I have said and you cited, I think it’s a sign of strength,” he claimed. “She listened to people. She evolved on the issue.” Hoover pressed Shapiro to give a specific reason to explain why she was changing. “We have not had a direct conversation about this issue in particular,” he said. “I think what is clear to me, this is my interpretation, is that she’s listened and she has seen the power that natural gas, the power that our energy sources domestically here in the United States have in strengthening our economy, in strengthening our national security, just as Joe Biden in ‘87 talked about.” Hoover noted that the worry and concern from voters is that “she’s just changed for political reasons.” “Whereas if there was a real clear national security rationale or reason that felt believable, that that would make it more believable,” she said. Shapiro responded by saying: “Well look, I think that’s on the vice president to explain her rationale on this.” WATCH: PA Gov Josh Shapiro is asked why Kamala Harris flipped her energy positions He tries to invent reasons why she changed her views, but when asked if there’s a “believable” reason she changed other than political expediency, he says that Harris has to explain herself@ElonMusk pic.twitter.com/SezKBUAlkT — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 20, 2024

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) suggested on Sunday that “law enforcement” should investigate Elon Musk after the billionaire tech executive announced an offer to give $1 million each day to a randomly-selected person who signs a petition from his super PAC. Kristen Welker, moderator of NBC’s Meet The Press,” asked Shapiro if such an is legal after Musk announced the idea during a town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night. Musk has been holding events in the swing state to rally support for former President Donald Trump‘s White House campaign. “I think there are real questions with how he is spending money in this race, how the dark money is flowing, not just into Pennsylvania, but apparently now into the pockets of Pennsylvanians. That is deeply concerning,” Shapiro said. WATCH: Every day until Election Day, Elon Musk says he’ll give $1M to a voter who has signed his super PAC’s petition “in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms.”@JoshShapiroPA: “That is deeply concerning. … It's something that law enforcement could take a look at." pic.twitter.com/2mZY1b5YaL — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) October 20, 2024 “Look, Musk obviously has a right to be able to express his views,” he added. “He’s made it very, very clear that he supports Donald Trump. I don’t – obviously, we have a difference of opinion. I don’t deny him that right. But when you start flowing this kind of money into politics, I think it raises serious questions that folks may want to take a look at.” RELATED: Not Just The Betting Markets: Trump Takes Lead In Battleground State Polling Welker pressed Shapiro again on whether he thinks the offer was legal or not, to which the governor replied: “I think it’s something that law enforcement could take a look at. I’m not the attorney general anymore of Pennsylvania. I’m the governor, but it does raise some serious questions.” Shapiro served as attorney general of Pennsylvania from 2017 to 2023 before becoming governor. Vice President Kamala Harris considered Shapiro as a running mate, among others, before she settled on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Shapiro has since hit the campaign trail for the Harris-Walz ticket. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Musk, who owns X and other companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, said at his event on Saturday that he would be giving $1 million every day until Election Day to a random person who signed the America PAC petition that pledges support for the First and Second Amendments. He noted the offer was meant to help get the word out about the petition as “the legacy media won’t report on it.” Musk then revealed a man named John Dreher was the first winner and handed off a giant check. Elon Musk announces that he will randomly award $1 million to one registered Pennsylvania who signs America PAC’s petition every day until Election Day. pic.twitter.com/zDGS7zoH22 — The American Conservative (@amconmag) October 20, 2024 The America PAC website says one petition signer will earn $1 million in Pittsburgh on Sunday and a signer will get the same amount in Pennsylvania on Monday. Then, each day from Tuesday until November 5 — Election Day — one petition signer from the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, or North Carolina will earn $1 million. America PAC is also offering $47 to anyone who refers a registered swing state voter to sign the petition, and for Pennsylvania in particular, $100 for signers and those who refer another petition signer.

What the hell is this

'Those aren't necessarily differences though'

An eyewitness contacted me after finding a cryptid canine report that I posted from Michaux State Forest, PA. The location, Dead Woman Hollow, is well-known for its creepiness!I received the following account:"Hi, Lon. I recently found your post about the Dogman encounter in Dead Woman Hollow. I thought that I would contact you about the creepy experience I had there.It happened about 8 years ago in Michaux State Forest in South Central Pennsylvania. It was a charming fall day and I stopped at a little roadside pull-off for a hike, which turned out to be Dead Woman Hollow (a snowmobile trail that intersects with the Appalachian Trail, I think?) I set off walking and I was so relaxed and really enjoying the hike until I turned around and started back.As I was walking back I got this awful feeling that I was being watched and even pursued. At one point I felt what seemed to be a handful of smallish rocks hit the back of my leg and I turned around expecting to see a couple of dudes being funny, teasing the lady (me) alone on the trail, but there was no one there. I brushed it off but the feeling of being watched increased until it was all I could do not to break into a run.I made it back to my car fine but the feeling I experienced on Dead Woman's Hollow really shook me. Of course, I later Googled 'Dead Woman's Hollow' and found out about the horrible murder/shooting that happened there in the 80s. I honestly wondered if I had been picking up on that incident somehow (I'm not psychic or anything at all though). Over the years though I have to admit I've wondered about Sasquatch as rock-throwing and feelings of being watched are associated with sightings. Anyway, Dead Woman's Hollow can get creeeeeepy!" MThe post that this witness referred to:"Hello, Lon. I just came across your site and listened to the Arcane episode about the need for people to submit info for your investigations. Let me start by saying I have no desire to experience any anomaly but for whatever reason, seem to draw them, much to my dismay. This is the 1st time I have spoken to anyone outside of my family. Here is my encounter:Place: Michaux State Forest PA / Cumberland County in Dead Woman HollowTime: Last weekend of August 2015My husband and I began sitting around a fire pit at my sister’s cabin shortly before dusk. There was no one else present the entire time. As always, we were both armed. We also had a spotlight and were about 20 ft from the front door of the cabin. We both have been avid outdoor people all our lives with many, many hours hunting various wildlife, trapping, fishing, camping, canoeing, and hiking.My husband began playing around yelling weird sounds to get a reaction out of me because I was nervous for the first time out of all the times I had been there for some reason. To our surprise, something answered him from, I want to say, within 100 yards of the woods, with the same sounds he made. He stopped and we sat silently looking and listening for what it was. No more joking around.The yells, probably 5 in total, came closer over a few hours until the last one heard was clearly within 40 yards of us. It was with that I decided to go inside. I had been shining the spotlight intermittently throughout the evening into the woods and thought I would do so one last time as we both walked towards the cabin.That’s when I saw something for the first time...yellow eyes. It did not look away or blink but remained staring back at me from the area where the last yell came from. I tried to see its body but everything else was dark around it. When I said “I see eye shine!” to my husband, the eyes moved several feet sideways, staring at me the whole time, then disappeared completely. I have spotlighted deer and various animals and this was not the same. They were at least twice the size of a deer’s eyes and there was no indication it had turned its head or walked away, but instead gave the impression of stepping behind something.Once inside the cabin, we retired for the night with the bed having been positioned directly under a window that was left open for ventilation. My husband slept undisturbed throughout the night. I, however, heard what sounded like wood chops 6 different times. I clearly heard a loud “crack” close by, also.The next morning, I walked to the area of the last vocalization/eye shine down a path. I found the biggest tree in the area about 5 ft off the path. It was too big to put my arms around. I noticed a clear line from the tree to the path of disturbed leaves as if something walked to the tree and then returned the same way. None of the other leaves around were disturbed except the line continuing across the path in the opposite direction into thick cover. I also found a freshly broken tree limb, approx. 10" diameter and about 4' long, lying in the path, all of this within 10 sq ft. It appeared to have come from a live tree nearby and had been broken off several feet above my head.I had every intention of investigating the scene even more but frankly, lost my wit (which is not like me) and returned to the fire pit to tidy up. I knew all this was abnormal and didn't feel right. That’s when the most frightening thing happened.My attention was brought back to the big tree by really loud sounds of something BIG moving FAST towards me from the cover where the line of disturbed leaves was. I saw the foliage moving closer as I ran inside the cabin. I am sure I couldn’t have been but a second or two away from seeing it burst out into plain view, which is exactly what I did not want!So what I would like to know is, what mimics people's voices, has large eyes that shine yellow at night, hides behind big trees, makes wood chopping sounds, breaks big limbs off of live trees, and charges at people in broad daylight?Thank you for your time and consideration of this email. I hope you find it helpful information somehow." DANOTE: So where do I start? Well, this area has the Appalachian Trail traversing through it and there was a murder near there - Dead Woman Hollow - Rebecca Wight, but it actually got its name from the fact that a woman whose identity is no longer known was bitten by a snake and died there. After she was found the natives referred to this area and the road as the Dead Woman Hollow. There was also a crime/horror movie (fiction) made about the location - Dead Woman's Hollow (2013)Anyway, the witnesses most likely had a run-in with a Bigfoot, which has been reported throughout Michaux State Forest. But then again, I'm not going to discount the fact that bi-pedal canines have been seen in Cumberland County, and Michaux State Forest would be an excellent habitat for them. Yellow eyes are indicative of canine and/or feline. Lon**********DJINN & CURIOUS MIDDLE EASTERN TALES | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

A family is stunned to learn that their father was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. Then a woman, unknown to the man's daughter, suddenly appears and prays with her.I received the following account:"This occurred in the parking lot of an emergency service clinic in Madison, Wisconsin. My father had been living with lymphoma for five years but started exhibiting stroke-like symptoms one day in April (nice weather plays a part in all this). I don't remember who in my family called me at work, but I was 45-50 minutes away.When I arrived at the clinic, no one was with my dad; not my mom, not any medical personnel. My father was in a pleasant, but befuddled mood, able to chat but not clear on where people were. This was before anyone in my family had a cell phone. There was a phone on the wall next to Dad's bed which I used to call my husband at work, who had agreed to be a communication point, to ask what the hell was happening.I recall hearing my spouse tell me that my father had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. I'm staring at Dad trying to not show my shock and devastation because he's been told but doesn't grasp this. While they had to wait for an ambulance transport to a hospital, my mom had run home for his meds and necessities. My husband says my mom had called and she hadn't found Dad's insurance card, so could I go look for that at their house so Mom can be with Dad.OK, sure. I was numb. I drifted in a haze to my car in the very full parking lot. I rolled down my window as I started the car, and the flood of tears came. My sobbing was so physical that I couldn't back out of the spot.Suddenly, a middle-aged African American woman appeared at my car window asking if she could pray with me. I managed to nod my assent, and she reached to hold my left hand. I don't remember anything she said but she was praying aloud. It calmed me. I instantly gained the mental and physical strength to cope with this tragedy.Then, suddenly, she was gone. She simply vanished into thin air as I was looking at her!I'm totally convinced that she was an Angel.My Dad's aggressive brain tumor, against all the odds and to the surprise of the oncologists, disappeared within 3 months. He lived another 12 years and eventually passed away, not from lymphoma, but by natural causes. He was 93 years old." H**********DJINN & CURIOUS MIDDLE EASTERN TALES | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!
