How The Election Will Raise Or Lower Your Taxes

ABC News host Martha Raddatz grilled Republican vice presidential nominee J. D. Vance after he struggled to defend former President Donald Trump's claim that FEMA was not helping red states recover from recent hurricanes. "During Hurricane Helene, as we heard, former President Trump suggested the federal government was not only sending FEMA aid meant for the hurricane to migrants, but going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas," Raddatz told Vance on Sunday. "Well, Martha, what the president said is that fundamentally, FEMA aid is distracted by going to illegal migrants," Vance replied.

According to ABC News “sources,” Donald Trump has “not played golf since the apparent assassination attempt” last month and “is not expected” to do so again “until a new security plan is in place.” That will not likely happen until after the election. Trump knew for years his golf clubs were a security risk but, as usual, the felonious fraudster, coup-plotter, sexual predator and notorious golf cheat insisted he knew better.

On Saturday, Donald Trump held a rally in Coachella, California, and threatened to withhold wildfire funds for California. That's typical of Donald since he routinely demeans cities in the United States. While in Detroit, he bashed Detroit. After recently repeatedly lying about the government's response to the recent hurricanes, Trump showed his real character, or lack thereof, at his rally.

The terms of the settlement between 2020 election workers Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, in their defamation case against the right-wing Gateway Pundit site have not been disclosed. But if any plaintiffs deserve a big payout and an equally big apology, it’s these two women. The lives of good Samaritans Moss and Freeman were almost ruined when Rudy Giuliani falsely accused the women of committing election fraud in an effort to overturn the 2020 election on behalf of now-felon Donald Trump.

Oh dear. All of a sudden, the incredibly brave Orange Man, in the wake of his ENORMOUS ear scratch, wants to be protected as if he were the commander-in-chief. HE ISN'T. Via the Daily Beast: Donald Trump’s campaign reportedly wants the GOP candidate to travel in military aircraft and vehicles during the final weeks leading up to the election. He also wants expanded flight restrictions over his residences and rallies, as well as bulletproof glass to be installed ahead of campaign events in battleground states, according to The Washington Post. The requests for such extraordinary and unprecedented measures, first reported by The New York Times, come after the campaign was briefed on Iranian plots to kill the former president.

We've got the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying Trump "is now the most dangerous person to this country,” and most of the American media just blows it off. Retired Gen. Mark Milley Calls Trump ‘A Total Fascist’: Retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, now says Trump is a “total fascist” and “fascist to the core,” according to a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward, the famed Watergate journalist. “He is the most dangerous person ever,” Milley told Woodward for his book “War,” according to The Guardian.
