Data Guru Questions Whether Taylor Swift Endorsement Is Enough to Boost Kamala’s Youth Vote.

Data guru Harry Enten is questioning whether Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris will provide a much-needed boost among the youth vote for the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. According to the CNN analyst, Harris has lagged far behind the margins by which the 81-year-old incumbent Joe Biden won young voters in the 2020 election.

“Why does Kamala Harris welcome Taylor Swift’s support, why does she need the help?” Enten said during a Thursday segment reviewing polling data. “Let’s just point out something that I have been noting all along during this campaign, and that is the underperformance that both Joe Biden—and now even Kamala Harris—has among young voters.”

The data, reviewed by Enten, shows Biden with a 28-point polling margin over Trump among voters aged 18 to 29 in September of 2020. However, by July this year, Biden’s margin had collapsed to just seven points. Meanwhile, his data for Harris shows her with only a weak improvement over Biden’s 2024 numbers, clocking a 15-point margin this month.

Despite the Swift endorsement, Enten remains skeptical that Harris’s margin among young voters will significantly improve or match Biden’s margins in 2020. “The bottom line is Kamala Harris is—in fact—not doing as well among young voters as you might expect a Democrat to necessarily be doing based upon history.”

In addition to the youth vote being less enthusiastic about Harris than perceived, Enten notes that in several crucial swing states—namely Pennsylvania and North Carolina—Republicans have reversed the Democratic registration advantage. In both states, Democrats held around a 500,000 voter advantage in 2020. That lead has been erased, with Republicans now holding around a 150,000 vote advantage in both states.

Former Top Clinton Aide Demands ABC News Investigate If Debate Was ‘Rigged.’

Mark Penn, a former advisor to the Bill and Hillary Clinton campaigns, says ABC News must launch an investigation into Tuesday’s presidential debate to determine whether employees attempted “rigging the outcome.” The network is facing significant criticism over its handling of the debate between Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris, in which they frequently interrupted “fact-checked” the former president. On the other hand, Harris was never corrected by the moderators—despite making several false or misleading claims.

“I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don’t know how much of this was planned in advance,” Penn said in a recent interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast. “I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that.”

The National Pulse conducted its own fact-check of Kamala Harris, noting at least nine blatant false statements made by the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee. In addition, it was revealed shortly before the debate that Kamala Harris has maintained a close friendship with ABC News executive Dana Walden for at least 30 years.

Trump Vindicated: New DOJ Stats Show Spike in Violent Crime Under Biden-Harris.

Newly released crime statistics show violent crimes, including aggravated assaults, robberies, and rapes, have increased under the Biden-Harris government. During the recent debate between Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris, the former president said crime is “through the roof” since he left office, driven in part by migrant crime. ABC News moderator David Muir interjected to claim, “The FBI says overall violent crime is coming down,” but the new figures—released by the Biden-Harris Justice Department—vindicate the America First leader.

In 2020, Trump’s last full year in office, 1,569,390 violent crimes, excluding simple assaults, were recorded. The figure had risen to 2,485,830 by 2023. (Simple assaults are also up, from 2,988,770 to 3,933,230.)

Rapes and sexual assaults, in particular, are up from 319,950 in 2020 to 481,020 in 2023. Robberies are up from 437,260 to 731,620, and so-called “stranger violence” is up from 1,973,200 to an astonishing 3,233,400.

While some may argue crime could have been lower than usual in 2020 due to coronavirus restrictions limiting people’s movements, every non-domestic violent crime type listed in the Justice Department’s report is also up compared to 2019, before the pandemic.

Vice President Harris has touted herself as a law enforcement candidate, citing her background as a Democrat district attorney and state attorney general. However, Trump argues she is the “original Marxist district attorney,” overseeing soft-on-crime policies in California and lobbying for cashless bail and the defunding of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a Senator.

Biden-Harris DOJ Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Political Bias and Lawfare Campaign Against Trump.

The Biden-Harris government’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, insists that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is impartial and free from partisanship, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. During an address to department employees, Garland claimed the DOJ would not be used as a “political weapon.”

“Our norms are a promise that we will fiercely protect the independence of this Department from political interference in our criminal investigations. Our norms are a promise that we will not allow this Department to be used as a political weapon. Our norms are a promise that we will not allow this nation to become a country where law enforcement is treated as an apparatus of politics,” the Attorney General said.

However, the DOJ under Garland’s leadership is facing numerous allegations of bias and interference. Early in President Joe Biden’s term, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found that the agency had compromised public trust. His report criticized the department for its political bias and for allowing employees to evade accountability by leaving before investigations concluded. This rebuke followed criticism over the DOJ’s handling of the Russia collusion hoax and Garland’s directive for the FBI to investigate parents protesting school policies.

Garland faces scrutiny for the differing handling of classified documents by former President Donald J. Trump and President Biden. Trump was prosecuted and charged with 37 counts, while Biden avoided charges due to his age and memory issues.

Further controversy arose regarding the investigation into Hunter Biden. An IRS whistleblower alleges that DOJ prosecutors offered him preferential treatment, curtailing investigative efforts. Other officials corroborate the whistleblower’s claims.

Additionally, multiple FBI whistleblowers accuse the bureau of politicizing investigations and retaliating against internal dissenters.

WATCH: 8-Year-Old New York Boy With Rare Brain Disorder Receives Heartwarming Letter from Donald Trump.

A soon-to-be 8-year-old boy from New York received a special letter from former President Donald J. Trump ahead of his birthday this coming weekend. Despite doctors claiming that Liam—who has a rare brain disorder and is growth hormone deficient—may never walk or be able to eat food in the way other kids his age do, he currently ice skates, roller skates, and plays hockey. 

In a heartwarming video, Liam’s parents allow him to open a birth present early—a letter of best wishes from former President Trump and his family. They note that Liam’s incredible story and fight to overcome life’s obstacles is an inspiration.

The eight-year-old boy’s mother can be heard reading the letter to him in a moment that users on X (formerly Twitter) note shows a side of Trump that the media rarely covers.

“Can you read it,” his mother asks. Liam flashes a big, bright smile before handing her the letter to read out loud.

“It says: ‘Dear Liam, Happy eighth birthday. Mrs. Trump and I hope you enjoy this special occasion surrounded by the love of your family and friends. We are so encouraged by the strength and determination you have shown throughout your young life and send our love and best wishes to you as you continue to fight,” his mother can be heard reading. She continues: “‘Remember you are never alone, and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers for continued care and good health. May God bless you and your family. Stay strong.'”

Liam’s mother then asks the young boy if he can tell her who signed the letter. With joyful tears, he says, “Donald Trump.” He then signs and says, “I love you.”

Judge Tosses EVEN MORE of Fani Willis’s Georgia Charges Against Trump.

A judge has dismissed three counts in the Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis‘s RICO case against former President Donald Trump and several co-defendants. This decision includes two specific counts against Trump himself.

The original indictment contained 41 counts and alleges Trump and his associates attempted to illegally overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. Trump was included in 13 of these counts. In a decision released Thursday, Judge Scott McAfee stated that Counts 14, 15, and 27 involve accusations of perjury or false statements under federal jurisdiction and, therefore, cannot be pursued by the state.

“Because Counts 14, 15, and 27 lie beyond this State’s jurisdiction and must be quashed, the Defendants’ motions to dismiss the indictment under the Supremacy Clause are granted in part,” McAfee wrote. However, the judge did not dismiss the entire indictment as some of the defendants requested.

Trump’s lawyer, Steven Sadow, welcomed the decision, noting that “President Trump and his legal team in Georgia have prevailed once again. The trial court has decided that counts 15 and 27 in the indictment must be quashed/dismissed.”

Two other defendants, John Eastman and Shawn Still, initially brought the challenge. However, Trump’s legal team confirmed that the judge’s decision will also apply to Trump.

Willis’s prosecution is paused as Trump and other defendants appeal McAfee’s refusal to disqualify the District Attorney over ethical and professional breaches. The Georgia Court of Appeals will hear arguments in December regarding this matter.

In a ruling earlier in March this year, Judge McAfee dismissed six other counts, including three against Trump, citing insufficient evidence.

MTG Defends Kamala? Hits Out at Trump’s ‘Race’ Comments? Vance’s ‘Cat Lady’ Quip? And Laura Loomer’s ‘Tone’!?

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has come to the defense of the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, as well as the now infamous “cat lady” demographic, in comments made outside the U.S. Capitol to CNN reporter Manu Raju amongst others.

The Georgia congressman, who struck up a close personal relationship with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in recent years, posted the exchange on her X account shortly after. In it, she took several swipes at investigative reporter Laura Loomer and appeared to hit out at the party’s Vice Presidential candidate, Senator J.D. Vance, as well as President Donald J. Trump.

“I think we need to be focused on policies… not attacking people for their race, not attacking them because they might not have children and they love their pets. And I don’t want to have anything to do with that,” she said.

Trump mocked Harris’s recent public image conversion from Indian to black in a recent appearance. Vance is understood to be the sarcastic progenitor of the “cat lady” comments that Taylor Swift channeled in her Instagram endorsement of Harris.

Greene was speaking as part of a long-standing feud she has with journalist Laura Loomer.

“Laura Loomer’s outright lies, instability, and manic toxicity have no place in MAGA,” Greene wrote, adding in her statement: “I have concerns about [Loomer’s] rhetoric and her hateful tone. To me, many of the comments she makes and how she attacks Republicans like me… I think they’re a huge problem.”

Ironically, Greene recently personally attacked her colleague, Jasmine Crockett, quizzing, “Are your feelings hurt?” when Alexandria Ocasio Cortes berated her on the matter.

WATCH:

Stating the obvious, Greene argues that the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement should focus on inflation, the economy, and the border crisis. Former President Donald J. Trump spent a great deal of Tuesday’s presidential debate discussing the Biden-Harris government’s failures on these very issues—despite attempts by Kamala Harris and the ABC News moderators to focus the discussion on anything but.

A close ally of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)—who was ousted from power by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) last October—Greene recently suffered an embarrassing defeat after attempting to remove current Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Greene’s motion to vacate was tabled by a 359 to 43 vote.

Despite the overwhelming vote against her, Greene claims the move was a “great victory.” However, just months prior, the Georgia Congresswoman warned against the very action she took, stating a motion to vacate against Johnson is “the dumbest thing that could happen.”

House Democrats gloated over baiting Greene into attempting to oust Johnson and pulling the rug out from under her. “Fresh bait always finds a fish,” one senior Democrat aide said at the time.

Time Magazine Forced Into HUMILIATING Climbdown Over Kamala Harris.

TIME magazine has had to issue a humiliating correction after asserting that Kamala Harris does not support taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal alien prisoners. In its initial coverage of Harris’s debate with Donald Trump on ABC News, the magazine had asserted that Trump “falsely claimed that Harris “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.'”

Trump’s claim was not false. In 2019, Harris really did tell the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that she would use “executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care—including those in prison and immigration detention—will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.”

“It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition,” Harris explained. “That’s why, as [California’s] Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates.”

Harris also told the ACLU she supports decriminalizing illegal drug abuse and huge cuts to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding and operations, including an “end” to all immigration detention.

“The original version of this story mischaracterized as false Donald Trump’s statement accusing Kamala Harris of supporting ‘transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison,'” TIME wrote in its correction.

“As a presidential candidate in 2019, Harris filled out a questionnaire saying she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition treatment for detained immigrants,” the magazine admitted.

Artist From Trump Shooting Town Creates Epic ‘Fight Fight Fight’ Statue.

A Butler, Pennslyvania area artist has created a life-sized statute to immortalize former President Donald J. Trump’s defiant pose immediately following the attempt on his life on July 13 this year. The former president was rallying supporters in Butler when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a nearby rooftop, striking Trump in the ear, wounding two other rallygoers, and killing supporter Corey Comperatore.

The artist, Bill Secunda, used 4,000 metal nails for the piece, capturing Trump moments after the July 13 incident. He pumped his fist in the air as he was surrounded by United States Secret Service (USSS) agents, shouting to the crowd of supporters: “Fight, fight, fight!” Just moments before, a bullet fired by Crooks had hit Trump’s ear, prompting his to drop the the floor amid ongoing gunfire.

“Whenever he first stood up and then shook his fist, I think that was defiance,” the statue’s sculptor said in a recent interview. “Some people don’t like what he says, but he seems to say the right things at the right time to me—especially in moments like that. That’s a terrible situation, to almost have their head blown off.”

Secunda hopes that his new sculpture will serve as a symbol of unity and resonate across political divides. “I have friends on the opposite side of the political spectrum, and we can laugh and poke fun at each other without issue,” he said. The statue is currently exhibited at Secunda’s studio, located approximately two miles from the shooting site.
