On Monday, a group of imams from across the U.S. published an open letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. But this endorsement isn’t simply about political preference—it’s a calculated move within a broader strategy to further an Islamic expansionist agenda in American politics. These imams recognize that Harris’s policies, particularly her alignment with the radical […]

Elon Musk came to the rescue of many in Western North Carolina with Starlink, as Biden basked in the sun on a beach and Harris went to Los Angeles to fundraise and sit for an interview with a raunchy podcaster.

“I’m not going that far,” President Joe Biden told a room full of his former opponent’s supporters as they urged him to don a Trump hat last month. But he did go that far. Grinning ear to ear, Biden popped the “Trump 2024” cap on his head, sparking a viral photo and endless memes on social media. Some observers wondered if the president’s cheeky move — a bad look for the party as Biden’s own vice president campaigned against former President Donald Trump — was more than a light-hearted moment. It’s seeming more and more like they may have been onto something. In the chaotic weeks leading up to the election, Biden, who was unceremoniously dumped from the presidential ticket, has made several moves that appear to subtly undermine Vice President Kamala Harris as she remains locked in a nail biter race against Trump. The speculation around Biden’s motives began with the Trump hat incident during the president’s September 11 visit to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Biden himself asked for the man’s Trump cap before putting it on to applause from the crowd. Last Friday, Biden joined the White House press briefing — an unusual move for him — at the exact moment Harris stepped on stage for a campaign rally in Michigan. This forced television networks to cut away from Harris’ rally and cover him instead. Then at the briefing, Biden made it harder for Harris to squirm away from his administration’s record as she attempts to run as the candidate of change. “I’m in constant contact with her,” Biden said, adding that “we’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now.” “She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass,” he said. “Her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing.” On Tuesday, Biden counter-programmed Harris for the second time in a week, holding a briefing at the White House on the hurricane at the same time Harris was appearing on “The View.” As hurricane season got underway, Harris slammed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for not taking her phone calls about the impending storm, calling him “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish” and accusing him of playing political games. DeSantis pushed back, saying he was not aware of any calls from Harris and that she has “no role” in Florida’s hurricane response. Biden posted a photo of himself next to a phone and said he had spoken to both DeSantis and the Tampa mayor about recovery from Hurricane Helene and preparations for Hurricane Milton. Tonight, I spoke with Florida Governor DeSantis and Tampa Mayor Castor for firsthand reports on Hurricane Helene recovery and preparations for Hurricane Milton.

Biden further undermined Harris’ criticism of the governor on Tuesday, saying DeSantis had been “cooperative” and was “doing a great job.” The president may have hampered his former running mate yet again leading up to last week’s massive dock worker strike on the East Coast that snarled supply chains and threatened to tank the economy. Biden held firm in saying he would not step in and pause the strike, something he could have done under the Taft-Hartley Act. Harris later expressed support for the strike. Biden and Harris may have simply been a united front focused on courting the union vote, but Biden’s refusal to step in nevertheless limited Harris’ options to save the economy weeks out from the election. Meanwhile, Harris has struggled to win over voters with her economic message, and polls show voters prefer Trump on the economy. “I’ll give you a little secret. He hates her,” Trump said during last month’s presidential debate with Harris. Trump: "Sleepy Joe… Although Joe is looking pretty good lately compared to Kamala. He's starting to look sharper. He's angry at her and he hates her. He can't take much more. It was an overthrow." ? pic.twitter.com/AJsCyolWXz — TheBlaze (@theblaze) October 9, 2024 “He can’t stand her,” Trump continued. “He got 14 million votes. They threw him out. She got zero votes.” On January 20, Biden will ride off into the sunset after over half a century in the federal government — more than a fifth of the country’s entire history. With his legacy at stake, these last months are his last chance to make his presence felt.

The Islamic man from Afghanistan who was arrested in Oklahoma on Monday for allegedly planning an ISIS terror attack on Election Day reportedly worked as a security guard in Afghanistan for the CIA. NBC News reported that 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi had “minimal interaction with Americans and he was not a CIA informant or a member of the U.S.-trained and armed paramilitary force known as the ‘Zero Units.'” After news broke of his arrest, questions immediately began to swirl about how the Biden-Harris administration failed to properly vet Tawhedi when he was evacuated out of Afghanistan following the administration’s disastrous withdraw in 2021. Charging documents stated that he was brought to Oklahoma by the administration under its special immigrant visa program. However, sources told NBC News that the charging documents were wrong and he did not enter the U.S. under the special immigrant visa program. Instead, he entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole, which “entails far less screening than a special immigrant visa,” the report said. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Officials claimed that once he entered the U.S., he applied for a special immigrant visa and was vetted through that program, but even though he was approved, he never took the steps to make it official. No further details were provided. The screening process included “searching for any possible ties to terrorism, ISIS or the Taliban using information from his electronic devices, biometrics and other identity information to search the extensive intelligence databases the U.S. compiled over 20 years of collecting in Afghanistan,” the report said. Tawhedi was charged with providing, attempting to provide, and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization; and knowingly receiving, conspiring to receive, and attempting to receive firearms and ammunition to be used to commit a felony or Federal crime of terrorism. Prosecutors say that Tawhedi and a juvenile co-conspirator (CC 1) from Afghanistan took steps to raise the funds needed to carry out the attack and repatriate their family members to Afghanistan a couple weeks prior to the attack by selling their home and personal property. CC 1 is Tawhedi’s brother-in-law and was brought to the U.S. in 2018. The suspects had an extensive amount of ISIS propaganda that encouraged terrorist attacks on the U.S. and posed for photos while making ISIS hand gestures. Prosecutors said Tawhedi donated to a charity in March 2024 that was a front group for funneling money to ISIS, which is a crime. The FBI started monitoring him after the donation and tracked down his social media accounts and encrypted Telegram account where he was connected to another Islamic extremist who was involved in ISIS recruitment. Tawhedi sent CC 1 other contacts and encouraged them to be put into contact with the ISIS recruitment group. In early September, an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS 1) reached out to the suspects after they put the family’s home and personal possessions up for sale to fund the attack and their family’s repatriation to Afghanistan. CHS 1 purchased a desktop computer and laptop from the suspects and told them he needed the devices for a new gun business that he was starting. From that point, CHS 1 built a relationship with the suspects and encouraged them to come shooting and told them he would sell them weapons. Messages on his Telegram account that were obtained by investigators allegedly show Tawhedi admitting to illegally purchasing two AK-47s and 500 rounds of ammunition. After he took delivery of the rifles and ammunition, undercover agents arrested both suspects. Tawhedi said in his communications that the terrorist attack was planned for Election Day. In a post-arrest interview, investigators say that he admitted to the plot and said that he and CC 1 expected to be martyred during the attack, which was “targeting large gatherings of people,” court documents said.
