China Hacks Again Chinese communist hackers attacked the Trump campaign by hacking into sensitive information at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), which employs many former Trump administration officials. As you’ll recall, members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hacked into the Trump campaign, stealing sensitive information that they then provided to multiple media outlets. There are several regimes that desperately want to keep Donald Trump from becoming president again, and they will stop at nothing. There’s communist China. There’s Iran. (See below.) There’s Russia. What’s that? Yes, Russia. Contrary to the false narrative of the left and their media cronies, Donald Trump was tougher on Vladimir Putin during his four years than Joe Biden has been. Putin is in Ukraine today because Biden is so weak. The socialist regime of Mexico does not want Trump back in the White House. They remember what he did to control the border during his first administration. Do you think it’s just a coincidence that there was a huge drop in border crossings going into the last 100 days of the campaign? That wasn’t anything Joe Biden did. It’s Mexico controlling its borders hoping to make the issue go away. And, of course, the most powerful regime of all that won’t let anything stand in its way is the Biden regime. I used to hate it when the left referred to the “Reagan regime” or the “Bush regime.” That’s not how we should talk about politics in America. But this gang is at war with fundamental American rights and values that define our nation. So, they are a regime. Part of the left’s coalition is already saying to Biden, “As soon as the election is over, use your remaining days to issue executive orders doing whatever we want.” But to understand just how committed they are to stopping Trump and transforming our nation, see the next item. Dealing With Killers We have known for at least four years that Iranian leaders have been targeting Donald Trump and other top officials in his administration for assassination. You could dismiss their threats as just bluster and rhetoric. But, eventually, the U.S. intelligence community admitted the threats were real. We also know that Iranians with terrorist ties were coming into the country across the border. A few weeks ago, there were reports that Iran might use a missile to shoot down Trump’s plane to kill him and all his advisers. Almost all this information was known when the Biden administration provided Trump with such inadequate and inept Secret Service protection at his July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Trump campaign has now asked for military protection that a sitting president receives. There are reports that some of it may have been provided. But the dog that didn’t bark -- that is so obvious and is ignored by the media -- is why the Biden administration is still doing business with the Iranian government? The Islamic Republic of Iran is a foreign power that has been killing American soldiers for decades and has publicly announced to the world that they intend to kill former President Trump. And what has the Biden administration been doing lately? Trying to convince Israel not to hit anything important in Iran in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel. There are no words. A Clear Shift The election is so close that in any given week five or six new polls are released, and the press releases can be written before the details are known, “Harris/Trump Election A Tossup.” But if you don’t get bogged down in the weeds, there is one consistent theme in those polls over the last two to four weeks. They are all moving more favorably toward Trump. Over the weekend, NBC News released its latest poll. Donald Trump is up one point. One month ago, Harris was up five points. You can go down the list of poll after poll, and even those that have Harris ahead, show her lead has shrunk as the glow of her nomination after not winning any votes anywhere starts to fade. It looked like Harris was going to run away with the election. Now, we are seeing a big shift in the last 23 to 25 days. And there are 22 days until the election, so things could shift again in the other direction. Democrats have a much larger ground game than Republicans. Over the weekend, the Harris/Walz campaign announced that it had knocked on 100,000 doors. All across America? No, in Pennsylvania. That’s 100,000 doors in one state in one day. Meanwhile, there is evidence that suggests low-propensity male voters of all races are moving toward Trump. But do Republicans have the infrastructure to make sure those low-propensity voters actually vote? Happy Columbus Day! Today is Columbus Day – a day we celebrate a great explorer whose daring voyages across the Atlantic ignited the Age of Discovery. But the left hates this national holiday, and it has been attacking Christopher Columbus for many years now. In many cities and on many college campuses, Columbus Day has been replaced with “Indigenous People’s Day.” President Biden issued two proclamations – one for Columbus Day that barely mentions Christopher Columbus while managing to bring up Ukraine, and one for Indigenous People’s Day. Biden had twice as much to say about Indigenous People’s Day, which is not a federal holiday. But here’s the real irony: The reason Columbus has been turned into a villain is that the left is judging him by today’s woke progressive standards instead of the context of the age in which he lived. If one judged the “indigenous people” of the 1400s and 1500s by today’s progressive standards, they wouldn’t fare well at all. For example, on the island where Columbus landed, one tribe engaged in cannibalism. Another tribe engaged in slavery. But this is much more serious than just judging historical figures by today’s standards. This is all about deconstructing the idea of America. The left wants your children to hate the country of their birth. To accomplish that, they must make anyone associated with the beginning of America into an evil villain. So, please use this holiday as an opportunity to talk to your children and grandchildren about the real Christopher Columbus and the world he lived in.
