(Chris Cella Jr., Headline USA) Americans should prepare for potential “civil unrest” if Donald Trump reclaims the presidency, a dozen Democrats warned the Wall Street Journal just over a week before one of the most polarizing elections in U.S. history, Breitbart reported.
“I really think it’s going to be bad if [Trump] wins,” said activist Melisso Fiero.
Prominent left-wing figures and activists nationwide expressed concerns about the aftermath of a Trump victory. Many are taking proactive measures, such as signing up for women’s marches scheduled before and after the election.
Laurie Woodward Garcia, founder of the anti-Trump organization People Power United, said she had organized bi-weekly seminars to discuss the implications of a Trump win. She was particularly distressed regarding the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a set of policy blueprints that Trump has no direct involvement with, but which Democrats have repeatedly tried to link him to during the campaign.
Political analyst Mark Halperin shared similar sentiments during a recent conversation with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, predicting “workplace fights … fights at kids’ birthday parties.”
He also foresaw protests turning violent. Halperin warned that a Trump resurgence could lead to “the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,” necessitating significant access to mental health professionals.
This anxiety reflects the broader concerns of many Americans as the election approaches. A recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey revealed that about 40% of registered voters were “extremely” or “very” concerned about potential violent attempts to overturn the election results. An additional 35% expressed some level of concern.
Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a tight race, with recent polling from 270toWin.com showing Harris leading by less than a point in a national head-to-head poll, while the RealClear Politics average showed Trump pulling ahead for the first time since the Democrats’ coup of President Joe Biden.
(Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris has been pushing off President Joe Biden’s attempts to hit the campaign trail with her, deliberately keeping the 81-year-old incumbent at a distance.
Biden has campaigned for Harris a few times since she became the Democratic Party’s nominee, most recently on Oct. 15, when he delivered remarks to the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee Autumn Dinner.
But his requests to play an even larger role as Election Day approaches have been brushed off by Harris’s team, according to Axios.
“He’s a reminder of the last four years, not the new way forward,” one individual familiar told the outlet.
Other Harris campaign officials told the New York Times that publicly campaigning alongside Biden would “only hurt” Harris at this stage in the race.
According to the reports, Harris’s team is specifically worried that Biden might make a gaffe that damages her campaign, such as when he suggested this month that Democrats should “lock [former President Donald Trump] up.”
“Politically, lock him up—lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do,” Biden added.
Harris’s campaign is also worried that if she appears alongside the president, voters will realize she would be a continuation of Biden’s administration.
“If I were running the Harris campaign, the last thing I would want to do is try to make this campaign about Joe Biden,” said Doug Sosnik, a veteran Democratic strategist, told the Times. “And of course I would not want him out campaigning.”
A spokesperson for the White House denied that Biden has been sidelined by Harris.
There is always speculation in political circles, but this is not accurate,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement. “We are in close touch with the campaign to determine when, where and how the president can be helpful.”
Ian Sams, a spokesperson for Harris, was more vague, saying Harris is “grateful for President Biden’s support and appreciates that he is campaigning for her.”
Following the game in which the 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys 30-24, sideline reporter Melissa Stark was interviewing San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle and running back Isaac Guerendo. It was then that Bosa suck up behind the interviewees and pointed to his “Make America Great Again” hat.
Bosa pointed to his hat, then quickly ran off. Stark responded to the incident by remarking “Alright, Nick Bosa with a message there.” She then proceeded to conduct the rest of the interview.
At the post-game press conference, Bosa was asked why he decided to make a political statement in the manner that he did.
“I’m not going to talk too much about it, but I think that it’s an important time.”
He declined to further comment on his support for the former president.
Bosa has a history of aligning himself with MAGA going back to his time playing for Ohio State, where he made tweets supporting Donald Trump. He subsequently deleted those tweets prior to being drafted.
When asked in an ESPN interview why he deleted them, he expressed concern that “there is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.”
The Bosa’s decision to wear and display a MAGA hat may result in consequences from the NFL. According to Outkick.com, the league has rules for wearing apparel not approved by the front office. Unsurprisingly, MAGA merchandise is not league approved.
The NFL may decide to fine Bosa for his activism under the merchandise rule. Interestingly, the league never fined anyone for wearing Black Lives Matter apparel.
Bosa is not the first current or former NFL player to express his support for Trump. Former players Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell and Jack Lambert have all expressed their support for “The Donald.”
Current Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker announced his support for Trump last week.
(Headline USA) President Joe Biden slammed tech mogul Elon Musk as a hypocrite for opposing illegal immigration after a report suggested Musk worked illegally in the U.S. early in his career.
“That wealthiest man in the world turned out to be an illegal worker here,” Biden said while campaigning Saturday in Pittsburgh.
“No, I’m serious,” he continued.
“He was supposed to be in school when he came on a student visa,” Biden added. “He wasn’t in school.”
“He was violating the law. And he’s talking about all these illegals coming our way?” he said.
JOE BIDEN: Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He was supposed to be in a school when he came on a student visa. He was working. He was violating the law and he's talking about all these illegals. pic.twitter.com/r4ZXsMUcVA
The Washington Post reported last week that Musk arrived in Palo Alto, Cali., from South Africa in 1995 for a graduate program at Stanford University on a student visa.
Sources alleged that Musk “never enrolled in courses, working instead on his startup.”
Investors in Musk’s start-up, Zip2, allegedly helped Musk secure a proper visa over concerns that they would run into trouble legally.
Musk blasted the allegations as false, and said he had a “J-1 visa that transitioned to an H1B” visa, which is a temporary employment permit.
Musk went on to blast Biden and said, “The Biden puppet is lying.”
The Tesla CEO has been one of the Left’s top targets ever since he endorsed former President Donald Trump.
Illegal immigration was one of the top reasons Musk said he was backing Trump, arguing there likely would not be another free and fair election if Democrats win and continue to import millions of illegal aliens.
“The Democratic Party goal is to disenfranchise US citizens by importing as many illegal immigrants as possible,” he said earlier this year.
“Given the massive influx of illegals from every country on Earth, 2024 will probably be the last election actually decided by US citizens,” Musk added.

Recession fears from July and August gave way to concerns that strong growth could stall further disinflation. This shift is occurring at the start of a Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle, raising questions about the timing of future rate cuts and whether Fed policy was restrictive enough to begin with.
In September, job growth rebounded strongly, and the unemployment rate fell. Average hourly earnings increased by 0.4% in September, only slightly lower than the 0.5% increase in August.
Year-over-year, wages are nearly 4% higher—up from 3.9% in August. Falling energy prices, along with persistently strong wage growth, supported household spending and core inflation accelerated for the third consecutive month.
Consumer sentiment improved, and both retail and home sales exceeded expectations. This economic strength helped push Treasury yields higher as traders—who initially priced in more rate cuts than the Fed’s dot plot suggested—adjusted expectations closer to FOMC projections.
However, while recession risks appear to have faded, one data point does not make a trend. Before the September report, the labor market had been cooling rapidly, with most new hiring concentrated in the government and health-care sectors.
Hiring has been trending down, and when finding employment becomes more challenging, the quit rate falls and worker mobility slows.
This week, we’ll get a fresh look at the labor market with the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s October Employment Situation report. The challenge with this month’s report is that it may present a distorted view.
The recent rise in initial claims, which has since partially reversed, suggests the report could be weaker than anticipated. Hurricanes and strikes may lead to some employed individuals—especially part-time workers—being counted as unemployed. Labor demand in affected areas would have declined, putting downward pressure on wages.
We’ll also see an inflation report this week. Although headline inflation, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, is moving in the right direction, core inflation remains stubbornly higher than desired. Core prices were still 2.7% higher than a year ago, up from 2.6% in July. While the three-month seasonally adjusted annual rate was just 1.6%, disinflation may already be stalling, as this rate is higher than the six-month pace of 1.4%.
Weaker-than-expected data this week could pull yields lower, while election-related drama could push yields higher. In either case, expect increased volatility and a possible dip in stocks. But a resilient economy may mean this week offers buying opportunities for long-term investors.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2024 rose to 3.3% last week, slightly down from 3.4% the previous week and 3.2% three weeks ago.
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Judge Aileen Cannon has refused to grant the Justice Department’s motion to keep all of the discovery secret in the case of Ryan Routh, the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course last month.
Cannon’s Monday decision to refuse a blanket protective order on Routh’s discovery followed a motion filed by the DOJ earlier this month.
The DOJ had argued that a protective order was necessary because Routh could potentially reveal sensitive information about witnesses or law enforcement personnel. They also accused Routh of trying to “influence the public’s perception of the matter or unduly interfere with the proper administration of justice.”
Routh’s attorneys opposed the protective order on the grounds that would prevent Routh from possessing evidence outside the presence of his counsel, which would make it nearly impossible for him to defend himself. They also noted that the DOJ’s proposed order would prevent him from disclosing his political thoughts or opinions he has previously written, including in one of his books.
On Monday, Cannon agreed with the defense. Cannon ordered the parties to “confer by videoconference” by Thursday, and to “endeavor to devise a more limited protective order that more adequately takes into account Defendant’s stated constitutional and logistical concerns.”
“Following such conferral, on or before November 6, 2024, the parties shall file a Joint Status Report on Protective Order, detailing any progress on the protective-order dispute and attaching, as applicable, a proposed amended protective order. Disagreements can be denoted separately in the Joint Status Report,” Judge Cannon added.
“Hearing on the Motion to be scheduled if necessary.”
Meanwhile, Routh’s attorneys are also trying to have Cannon recuse herself due to her having been appointed by Trump, who’s the victim in the case.
Routh’s attorneys also revealed last week that a member of the prosecution team—Christopher Browne of the DOJ’s National Security Section in Miami—attended high school with Cannon. Moreover, Cannon attended Browne’s wedding nine years ago, according to Routh’s motion for recusal.
“It is unclear why the government believed that this information was important enough to share with defense counsel but not important enough to include in its response. And it is unclear why, despite hundreds of able prosecutors in this District and around the country, the government elected to staff its team in this high-profile case with a prosecutor who enjoys a longstanding, personal relationship with the presiding judge,” Routh’s motion said.
It’s not clear when Judge Cannon will rule on the recusal matter.

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Washington Post is in turmoil in the wake of its decision to not endorse a presidential candidate this election, with thousands of readers reportedly cancelling their subscriptions in outrage—accusing Post owner Jeff Bezos of hoping to curry favor with a potential Trump administration for his various government contracting ventures.
Receiving lesser attention is the LA Times’decision not to endorse a candidate. And unlike the cynical reasons Bezos is being accused of, the Los Angeles-based newspaper has clearly stated its reason for withholding an endorsement. According to Nika Soon-Shiong, the daughter of Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, the newspaper withheld an endorsement because Vice President Kamala Harris has supported Israel’s war in Gaza, which has resulted in an estimated 118,00 dead Palestinians, the majority of them women and children.
“This is not a vote for Donald Trump. This is a refusal to ENDORSE a candidate that is overseeing a war on children,” Soon-Shiong said.
There is a lot of controversy and confusion over the LAT’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate. I trust the Editorial Board’s judgment. For me, genocide is the line in the sand.
“For me, genocide is the line in the sand,” she said Saturday on Twitter/X.
The father backtracked from her statement later on Saturday.
“Nika speaks in her own personal capacity regarding her opinion, as every community member has the right to do. She does not have any role at the L.A. Times, nor does she participate in any decision or discussion with the editorial board, as has been made clear many times,” Patrick Soon-Shiong’s spokeswoman said in a statement to The New York Times.
Meanwhile, the Post and Bezos continue to receive the lion’s share of criticism for declining to endorse Harris.
“People concerned about Bezos’ impact, including one editor who quit after the Post’s decision, pointed to a meeting the billionaire’s space-exploration company, Blue Origin, had with Trump on Friday, the same day of the nonendorsement announcement,” the Journal reported Sunday.
According to the Journal, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp was in Texas for a meeting with Gov. Greg Abbott, “and afterward had a chance to briefly meet Trump.”
Limp told the Journal that “the meeting with Trump was opportunistic and planned only that morning after meeting with the Governor.”
“Given that, it’s crazy to think there was some quid pro quo because of this meeting,” he added.

(Stefan Gleason, Money Metals News Service) Precious metals investors need to be careful to avoid scams. Some have been around for a long time in different forms. Others are newly proliferating now that gold is hitting records.
Last week, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced it has obtained a judgment in federal court against a predatory firm called Regal Assets:
Regal Assets solicited customers to transfer funds primarily from their tax-deferred retirement accounts to purchase precious metals from Regal Assets through self-directed IRAs. Rather than using all of the customers’ funds to purchase precious metals, the defendants misappropriated more than $21 million from more than 120 customers.
Money Metals has long been aware of Regal Assets’ corrupt practices. At one point, we took legal action against one of its affiliates for fraud and unfair trade practices after it published libelous, negative online “reviews” about our company to promote Regal Assets.
While the victims of the multi-million dollar fraud at Regal Assets can now seek restitution, they may never be made whole. (Best we can tell, the government never located the owner, Tyler Gallagher, who reportedly fled the country.) Nor will the victims of countless other scams, whose perpetrators may never be brought to justice.
Your best protection against getting fleeced when buying precious metals is to ignore the slick pitches that sound too good to be true. For safety, avoid doing business with dealers who advertise on cable TV using celebrity spokesmen.
Stick with bullion-focused dealers who have built up a reputation for stellar customer service and exhibit a genuine commitment to sound money principles.
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) There were two snipers posted inside the second floor of the AGR building used by alleged gunman Thomas Crooks to shoot at Donald Trump. Both failed to spot Crooks before his assassination attempt.
Ever since then, excuses have been made for the failure of the local snipers, Greg Nicol and Mike Murcko. Local officials have insisted that the snipers didn’t have a vantage of Crooks, and would have had to lean out of their windows to see him on the rooftop. Meanwhile, some media members have reported rumors that Nicol locked himself out of the building while searching for Crooks—and that the shooting happened right when Murcko went downstairs to let him back inside.
However, a time-stamped transcript of encrypted radio communications from July 13 tells a different story—showing that both Murcko and Nicol received warnings about an armed man on the rooftop at least seven seconds before he opened fire, and that Murcko radioed that Crooks was down after the shooting. The transcript further reveals other new details about the July 13 Butler rally, raising still more questions in the process.
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨We obtained a transcript of local law enforcement radio comms from the J13 Butler Trump rally. The transcript appears damning for the local snipers who failed to spot Crooks from their 2nd-floor post inside the AGR building. For instance, it shows that those snipers… pic.twitter.com/LPT0FD2gYy
The transcript was obtained by Headline USA via a Right to Know Law request. The Washington Post and Congress have both obtained and cited the same transcript—but they omitted key details, and they haven’t published the actual document.
This article marks the first publication of the full transcript. However, reader beware: The document includes a disclaimer that it’s “not a legal transcript of the radio transmissions,” and was only compiled to assist in making a rough timeline of events—a fact that neither the Post nor Congress has disclosed.
But while it’s incomplete, the transcript does appear to be damning for the local snipers. Indeed, it shows that Butler ESU Commander Ed Lenz was told there was a gunman on the AGR roof by 6:08 p.m., nearly three minutes before the shooting. Lenz responded to that information by telling local sheriffs that the man on the roof wasn’t one of his officers. For some reason, Lenz didn’t immediately relay that same info to Nicol and Murcko, who were on another channel, according to the transcript.
🚨NEW TRUMP SHOOTING REVELATIONS🚨 A previously secret transcript shows that Butler ESU commander Ed Lenz knew about an armed man being on the AGR rooftop by 6:08 p.m.–some 3 minutes before the assassination attempt. The transcript also shows that Lenz told his local snipers… pic.twitter.com/Wr6JOodx9t
Still, the transcript shows that Lenz did tell Nicol and Murcko that there was “a male on the roof with a long gun” at 6:11:25 p.m., which was about seven seconds before Crooks opened fire. Lenz was in the middle of his transmission when shooting began.
Seven seconds may not have been enough time for Murcko to respond before Crooks began firing, but another 15 seconds ticked off before a Secret Service sniper finally put the kill shot in him—meaning that Murcko and Nicol knew Crooks was on the rooftop for more than 20 seconds, but did nothing. Then, at 6:12:11 p.m., Murcko radioed that “shooter is down, 10Sierra3, shooter is down”—undermining the excuse that he couldn’t see Crooks from his post.
CORRECTION: I've obtained the transcript of local radio comms from Butler, which confirms that it was indeed Murcko–NOT Nicol–who radioed that the shooter was down.
The transcript does appear to corroborate Nicol’s claim that he left his post to search for Crooks. About a minute after the shooting, Murcko says over the radio that he’s not sure where Nicol is—suggesting that he indeed left his post. Another minute later, a dashboard police camera shows Nicol leaving the first-floor exit of the AGR building.
Along with new details of the actual shooting, the transcript includes other previously unreported revelations about the leadup to the assassination attempt, including that officers apparently had someone detained around 6:03 p.m. Who they detained and why is still unclear, as part of the transcript is redacted. Butler County officials told Headline USA that the redaction was made to protect the identity of a minor who was reported missing at that time, but the redaction is about three lines long. This publication is appealing to remove the redaction.
Lenz didn’t respond to an email with details question about the transcript, including questions about why certain communications weren’t included in the document.

The Adolf Hitler trope now being deployed by Democrats is so overwrought that, since 1991, it has had its own special name in online culture: Godwin’s law.
And yes, the eponymous law’s creator, Mike Godwin—a former senior fellow at the R Street Institute and contributing editor at Reason magazine— has often addressed, in response to media inquiries, whether former President Donald Trump deserves a special-exception rider.
“My name gets cited in a lot of these discussions. And of course my ears are burning,” Godwin explained in a 2018 op-ed for the newly neutralLos Angeles Times.
“It hasn’t mattered that I’ve explained GL countless times,” Godwin continued. “Some critics on the left have blamed me for (supposedly) having shut down valid comparisons to the Holocaust or previous atrocities.”
“They’ve been saying that about Trump for years,” observed conservative pundit Megyn Kelly during a recent interview with Bill Maher. “They’ve been saying that about Republican candidates for years. … If you are at all center or center-right, you are used to having your candidate of choice completely demonized.”
As Godwin clarified, his law was never intended to suggest that all comparisons to Hitler and the Nazi regime were spurious—only that most were.
Republicans have countered the constant barrage of ad hominem attacks by pointing to the very valid ways in which the Democrats have, themselves, become the party of anti-liberal, authoritarian values, using their Trump Derangement Syndrome as justification to act on their worst impulses by shutting down all criticism and debate, while pursuing a Stalin-inspired “ends justifies the means” approach to politics.
“I saw the party that used to have courageous voices and leaders, calling for peace, now becoming the party of warmongers,” said newly red-pilled Republican Tulsi Gabbard at a rally Saturday in Charlotte, N.C.
“It has become the party of war,” the one-time Democratic presidential candidate added. “It used to be the party of working people.”
INCOMPATIBLE WITH DEMOCRACY
The resulting death spiral has left the Democratic Party in a condition where, without significant reform, it is no longer compatible with the precepts of democracy because its ideas, when it bothers presenting any, are so far on the fringe that they are rejected by the public.
They have, instead, fallen back on astroturfing, gaslighting and importing new voters through a complex ploy that involves simultaneously undermining U.S. border security and election-integrity laws, while actively attacking any efforts by the states to address their negligence.
Although they have set themselves up with the capabilities to steal any election, relying on both traditional ballot-harvesting methods and technological manipulation of equipment, their one vulnerability could be a landslide election in which, given the loss of credibility in the media and many government institutions, the American public outright fails to accept a fraudulent outcome.
With Trump notably leading polls in the critical battleground of Pennsylvania, even Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., recently acknowledged the GOP nominee’s strong position to hold the Keystone State, according to a New York Times interview.
Trump need only secure his 2020 states, along with Pennsylvania and Georgia, to reclaim the presidency, with four additional “swing states”—Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada—only bolstering his advantage.
By contrast, on Oct. 27, 2020, President Joe Biden reflected a 7.4% lead nationally. Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, had a 5.6% advantage.
IMPLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY
Trump’s success, moreover, in clinching key minority demographics creates an optical problem for Democrats, who can no longer use the fig leaf of “voting rights” as a pretense to undermine election integrity.
Democrats who disfranchise voters in the black and Hispanic communities now risk losing them permanently and incurring the same level of minority-driven anger and outrage against them that they weaponized against Trump during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.
Most worrisome of all for Democrats may be that in Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina, early voting indicated that more Republicans had turned out as of Friday, Oct. 25, according to Bloomberg.
Early Voting Results In Swing States:
Arizona – 1.3 Millions votes casted – 🔴41.9% GOP – 🔵35.1% Dem
Three other battleground states—Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin—do not track party registration for early voting, suggesting Trump may be leading there, as well.
This trend could further explode the narrative pushed during recent election cycles that Republicans simply waited until Election Day and were bested by Democrats’ early get-out-the-vote initiatives.
If Trump is leading by a notable margin even going into Nov. 5 and Republicans continue to turn out at higher levels, there will be no plausible deniability for Democrats (and some corrupt GOP election officials) to delay releasing the results as they continue to scrounge up late-surfacing ballots in blue enclaves such as Arizona’s Maricopa County and Nevada’s Clark County, both of which have previously pulled last-minute reversals in 2020 and 2022.
Having already tipped their hand to their tactics, all eyes will be watching to see whether they have the temerity to engage in what could be deemed nothing less than a seditious conspiracy.
DESPERATE MEASURES
With all other options exhausted, Democrats’ only hope now may be to drive massive turnout on Election Day itself. But that is a task not easily accomplished. Undoubtedly, they would need some sort of precipitating event to rally any remaining voters to the polls.
What could it be? Here are a few possibilities that they might still pull off with just over a week remaining.
Escalation of war/act of terrorism:
“I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that ‘it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams,”’ wrote Abraham Lincoln in a June 1864 letter making his case for reelection.
The axiom has led other presidents, while politically flailing, to try to “wag the dog” by using war as a means to drive patriotic sentiment. In the Biden–Harris regime, while the patriotism may not be present, the anxiety of a foreign attack is still a powerful tool for manipulation.
Both China and Iran have made clear their preference for the current administration—of which Kamala Harris would be, at best, an extension—over Trump’s “America First” presidency. A false flag attack on Ukraine to stir up anti-Russian sentiment is another possibility. Trump has pledged to end the war there even before taking office.
Intel psy-op
We are all too familiar with the intelligence community’s role in fomenting violence at events like the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” protest and the Jan. 6, 2021 “Save America” rally. Perhaps the Harris campaign’s decision to feature them as a focal point in its closing argument is not so much an act of desperation but portention.
There are several signals indicating that there may be a heightened presence of election-meddling FBI operatives and others on-site at polling places, who are specifically tasked with monitoring MAGA. Might the goal be to instigate some sort of unrest during the election as a weapon of mass distraction?
Executive Order 14019
The Biden administration has been abjectly dishonest about many things, but its unusually opaque approach to President Joe Biden’s March 2021 edict has long raised suspicions that it could weaponize the entire federal bureaucracy as a de-facto ballot-harvesting operation for Democrats.
In keeping with the blueprints of anti-American subversive Saul Alinsky, the Left has sought to pre-emptively accuse the Trump campaign of a nefarious plot to reshape the government through talking points about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. Yet, Executive Order 14019 could be everything that it accuses Project 2025 of being and then some. The only problem is that the lack of transparency makes it impossible to tell just how Democrats intend to use this.
Presidential death/health crisis
The Democrats and their deep-state allies have failed, thus far, in killing Trump, and to do so now would undoubtedly turn him into one of the greatest martyrs in U.S. history. JD Vance would coast to victory in a landslide, and with trusted college pal Vivek Ramaswamy at his side, he would set up the GOP for generations of political dominance.
Yet, assuming Biden hasn’t been actively trying to torpedo the Harris campaign, he might be persuaded to step aside early due to a health emergency, installing the current veep as the incumbent, which would allow her to finish the final stretch with images being sworn in by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, shoring up the identity politics vote. It would, of course, leave little time for her to actually implement any policies that would sour voters further against her.
Although Biden has recently indicated the need to “lock up” Trump—politically, he claims—Trump shrewdly hinted that he might be open to considering a presidential pardon for Hunter Biden, which could prove to be a powerful bargaining chip.
Nonetheless, there is another president who could similarly stir up superficial sentiment at the last minute. Centenarian Jimmy Carter may, in fact, already be dead.
The MSM wants you to believe that 100-year-old Jimmy Carter is 'excited to vote for Kamala Harris'
His grandson Jason Carter said, 'When we asked him if he was excited about his 100th birthday, he said:
Barring further proof of life, one might be hard-pressed to believe that Carter—his mouth agape, and his skin appearing jaundiced or discolored as he lay in state at his 100th birthday celebration—still inhabits this mortal plane.
However, maintaining the illusion is necessary, for now, since Carter already cast an early ballot for Kamala Harris, which would be invalidated, in theory, if he were to die before Election Day.
Carter’s passing, followed by a prompt cremation, could be announced next Tuesday as voters in Georgia are heading to the polls, throwing in to disarray a must-win state that Trump appears to have locked in.
Literally locking Trump up
This risky move may backfire, as all the earlier lawfare actions taken against Trump only helped to further bolster his popular support due to backlash. Nonetheless, the psychological impact of having their candidate in detention could cast enough doubt to keep some Republicans home, and would certainly motivate Democrats.
As it stands, corrupt New York Judge Juan Merchan has pushed back Trump’s sentencing in his porn-star case to Nov. 26. The GOP leader also still remains under gag order in the D.C. trial led by dubiously appointed special counsel Jack Smith, whom Trump recently called a “scoundrel.”
Smith and his accomplice, D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, might unseal additional accusations to bait Trump into a response of some kind that could violate the order and land him in the gulag with countless other Jan. 6 detainees.
