#1 – BOOM!: JD Vance Shuts Up the ‘Trump Is a Nazi’ Crowd With One Simple Question — by Teri Christoph
Vance makes a very good point here, one that will not please the likes of Megan Hunt, Tristan Snell, and Kamala Harris. Although we don’t know exactly how America’s World War II heroes would vote in 2024, we do have a pretty good idea.
A recent poll by Pew Research Center shows Donald Trump winning the military veteran vote by a wide margin, with Trump sitting at 61 percent and Harris at 37 percent. Pew concluded, “Military veterans have long tended to affiliate with the Republican Party and support Republican candidates, and that remains the case today.”
#2 – Hilarious: Trump May Win All Fifty States With This New Election St atement — by Nick Arama
He showed that humor again on Saturday in a post that understandably went viral when he commented on a concern of many when it comes to McDonald’s. And now that he’s worked there for 15 minutes longer than Kamala can prove, he knows.
“When I’m President, the McDonald’s ice cream machines will work great again!” he announced.
Added to the real picture of him at the McDonald’s window was a picture of Biden in a Trump hat (which he wore in Shanksville, PA) holding an ice cream, Biden’s favorite thing.
Now we know why Biden is wearing a Trump hat. If Trump manages to pull that off, he just may get Biden’s endorsement too.

#3 – While Kamala PAC Drops Crass Video, Trump Airs Epic Ad During NFL Game Showing What Really Matters — by Bob Hoge
As we reported, a Democrat appointee nominee Kamala Harris PAC thought the best thing to do in the final days of the presidential campaign was to drop an ad featuring a dude masturbating. Seriously. They imply that “fascists” will burst into his room to stop him should Trump and other Republicans prevail in the November 5 elections.
The desperation is palpable.
GOP nominee Donald Trump, meanwhile, aired a stirring commercial during the third quarter of the Eagles-Bengals game Sunday and reminded us of why this election is one of the most consequential of our lives. It isn’t about vibes, or “joy,” or Nazis; it’s about kitchen table matters like inflation and security issues like the porous border and our weakness overseas.
#4 – Kamala Harris Tries a New Strategy at Rally With Michelle Obama: Being Completely Unhinged — by Bonchie
The transcript is almost irrelevant here. You have to watch the video to see how crazy she comes across. The arms are flailing, and she’s growling as if she’s about to bite the head off a bat. It’s a look, and it’s not a good one for a struggling nominee desperate to right the ship just days before the final votes of the election are cast.
What if I told you it gets worse, though? Believe it or not, this is a scripted performance she’s delivered before, and the Trump campaign helpfully put together a video illustrating that. Get ready to have your mind blown.

#5 – Kamala Loses Her Mind When Protesters Interrupt Rally, Desperately Searches for Trusty Teleprompter — by Bob Hoge
If there was a credible media in this country, wouldn’t they all be asking, what happened to the campaign of “joy?” Of course, they have been silent as the Harris team has all but dropped “joy” from their rhetoric and replaced it with “Nazis,” “fascism,” misogyny, incompetence and hate.
As Halloween night comes and goes, my real fear is not Frankenstein and ghosts. It’s the reality that there’s still the very real possibility that this nightmarish caricature could actually win this thing.
We can’t let that happen. If, for some reason, you’re one of those who thought, “Eh, I’ll sit this one out”—change your mind! Get out there and vote. Otherwise, we’ll be subjected to four years of this farcical nonsense.
