Bret Baier Asks Harris To Prove She Moving Forward By Handing Her Baseball Bat, Wheeling Out Caged Biden WASHINGTON—Offering the vice president a chance to gain the trust of voters skeptical about whether her policies would actually differ from those of the current administration, Fox News host Bret Baier reportedly challenged Kamala Harris Wednesday to prove she was moving forward by handing her a baseball bat and wheeling out a caged President Biden. "Ma'am, you claim your presidency would not simply be a continuation of the past four years, so why don't you just show that right here, right now?" said Baier, who [...] https://theonion.com/bret-baier-asks-harris-to-prove-she-moving-forward-by-handing-her-baseball-bat-wheeling-out-caged-biden/

Woman Feels Accomplished After Finishing Holiday Weight Gain Early PITTSBURGH—Patting herself on the back for staying ahead of schedule, local woman Ruby Butcher reported feeling accomplished Friday after finishing her holiday weight gain early. "Usually I put it off until the last minute, but this year I've already put on all my extra weight for the holidays," said Butcher, who added that looking for ways to fill out as early as September had allowed her to make sure every pound was already accounted for weeks before Thanksgiving.

Dems Switch Out Kamala For A Wheel Of Cheese With A Sign Reading 'Not Trump' U.S. — In a desperate, last-ditch attempt to keep Donald Trump from winning the election, Democrats have announced they are switching out Kamala Harris for a wheel of cheese with a sign reading "Not Trump." Party officials reportedly held emergency closed-door meetings following Harris's widely panned interview with Bret Baier of Fox News this week, instead opting to utilize a rarely used loophole in election laws to install a block of cheese as the party's candidate. "We feel the cheese is far more likable and, honestly, more intelligent," said one high-ranking Democrat who asked to remain anonymous.

TV Ratings Saved As Trump Will Now Host All Late-Night Shows U.S. — Following a successful appearance at last night's Al Smith charity dinner, former President Donald Trump signed a deal to host every late-night TV talk show, saving networks from a lengthy ratings drought. Executives at several major networks were reportedly wowed by Trump's comedic speech at the dinner and immediately placed calls to the former president's campaign to bring him on board to host all of the late-night shows. "They came to me crying, absolutely bawling," Trump recounted in an appearance on Fox & Friends this morning. "They said, 'Save us! Our ratings are terrible!' I almost said no, to tell you the truth. I don't want to sit in Jimmy Kimmel's chair. You don't know where he's been, that guy. Dirty Jimmy, they call him." Among the shows Trump now hosts are [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/tv-ratings-saved-as-trump-will-now-host-all-late-night-shows

Venezuelan Gang Wiped Out After Attempting To Take Over Buc-ee's NEW BRAUNFELS, TX — A large Venezuelan gang was completely wiped out this week after trying to take over a local Buc-ee's location. According to eyewitnesses, the gang, which was formerly based in Denver, had grown too confident after finding it incredibly easy to take over several apartment complexes. The violent criminals were soon put in their place when they marched on a Buc-ee's, guns blazing, only to find themselves greeted by a world-class force of polite employees, roasted nuts, savory pulled pork, delicious fudge, and heavily armed Texans. "They never knew what hit them," recalled Shawn Erickson, who had stopped at the Buc-ee's and saw the entire shootout. "They rolled up and tried to start [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/venezuelan-gang-wiped-out-after-attempting-to-take-over-buc-ees

Polls Show Democrats Have Slight Lead In Early Vote-Rigging U.S. — Early voting polls from swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan indicated that Democrats are clinging to a slight lead in early vote-rigging. According to election officials in key counties across the two states, the news is rather surprising, given the Democrats' strong performance in vote-rigging in the last several election cycles. "The Democrats are still leading in early vote-rigging, but just barely," said ballot counter Dan Kratz, who was in charge of putting up posterboards to block people from watching the ballots being counted in 2020. "Honestly, I'm just intrigued to see the Republicans putting up more of a fight. Usually, the [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/polls-show-democrats-have-slight-lead-in-early-vote-rigging

It's Sunday, and high time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke*: *guaranteed to evoke approvals and positive progress, if correlation = causation ============================================ HALLOWEEN JOKES I threw a huge Halloween party last year, but this year I'm ghosting it. My Halloween costume is merely my Monday face with more makeup. Why did the ghost become a bartender? Because he knew how to lift spirits. I'm dressing up as a responsible adult this Halloween, but it's just a costume. Why are ghosts such bad liars? Because you can see right through them! Why did Dracula fail at stand-up comedy? His jokes really sucked. What's more terrifying than a haunted house? The in-laws visiting. I'm not arguing -- I'm just passionately expressing my point of view that Halloween candy should be a major food group. This Halloween, I'm going as my own worst nightmare -- a morning person. This year, I'm going as a black hole, because my social life is already a void. The scariest part of Halloween isn't the monsters; it's realizing that you're another year older and still eating candy for dinner.

Very interesting, if we read the whole thing! Unmentioned is that Adak has some of the least pleasant weather anywhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The last in-person vote in the US will be cast on the desolate tundra of Alaska's Aleutian Islands ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — On a desolate slab of island tundra in western Alaska, a resident of Adak will again become the last American to cast an in-person ballot for president, continuing a 12-year tradition for the nation's westernmost community. The honor of having the last voter in the nation fell to Adak when they did away with absentee-only voting for the 2012 election and added in-person voting. "People have a little bit of fun on that day because, I mean, realistically everybody knows the election's decided way before we're closed," said city manager Layton Lockett. "But, you know, it's still fun." When polls close in Adak, it's 1 a.m. on the East Coast. Adak Island, midway in the Aleutian Island chain and bordered by the Bering Sea to the north and the North Pacific Ocean to the south, is closer to Russia than mainland Alaska. The island best known as a former World War II military base and later naval station is 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage and further west than Hawaii, where polls close an hour earlier.

Did Pete Buttigieg Just Document Himself Committing a Federal Crime? [...] Campaign season for a president-appointed and Senate-confirmed official is a fraught time. Even though they got the job by being politically active and frequently, politics are their only skill set. The Hatch Act, the federal law covering the political activities of federal employees, classifies these people as "further restricted employees," while run-of-the-mill employees have some ability to engage in electoral politics while maintaining the patina of being "non partisan." Okay, I laughed out loud when I wrote that. Astonishingly, our very own "Mayor Pete" posted this on his personal account.

This is frightening. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does Kamala Want Americans to 'Die Broke'? Harris Death Tax Plan Would Be World's Highest [...] While Harris and the Democrats talk virtually non-stop about "the rich" not paying their fair share, and large corporations profiteering at the expense of hardworking Americans, they don't talk nearly as much about their views on estate taxes — "death taxes" — and their desire to increase them, as well. If Harris wins the presidential election, the question of how much is enough — or too much — to tax individual estates upon death will be front and center. Bigly. According to the American Business Defense Foundation, under Harris' economic and tax plans, the number of Americans subject to the death tax would double or triple, primarily because she has repeatedly declared she will let the Trump tax cuts expire in 2025 if she becomes president.

There are likely traitors in our IC. Best case is that Israel knows this and intentionally fed false intelligence to the U.S. because they expected it to be leaked. Thoughts? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Top Secret US Documents on Israel's Plans for Retaliation Appear on a Tehran-Linked Social Media Platform A Telegram account with ties to the Tehran regime posted highly classified US intelligence about Israel's plans for retaliation against Iran on Friday. The Middle East Spectator included a report by the Department "detailing operations carried out in recent days at several Israeli air force bases, including the transfer of advanced munitions that the report said were intended for attacks on Iran." According to CNN, one person in the intelligence community confirmed the authenticity of the documents, thereby raising the level of seriousness of the breach.

Viva Socialism! Power Outage Plunges Entire Island of Cuba Into Darkness Communist Cuba is in total darkness today thanks to a power outage due to a lack of oil and a dilapidated energy infrastructure which has forced the government to shut down almost everything. The Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric power plant in the city of Matanzas suddenly and inexplicably shut down. Repair crews are desperately trying to get the plant working again with no timetable as to when power might be restored. Schools, industry, and "cultural and nonessential activities" such as bars and discos are shuttered at least until Monday. The outage follows a late-night TV address by Cuban Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz on Thursday night. "We have had to paralyze the economy to guarantee a minimum of electrical service," Prime Minister Manuel Marrero said in an announcement. Early Saturday morning, after power was slowly being restored, another catastrophic failure occurred and the island was once again plunged into darkness.

Will Kamala commit to certifying a Trump win? [...] When Trump soundly defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, several Democrats protested his electoral certification. Hollywood celebrities banded together to create ads and sad videos begging for faithless electors to nominate anyone but Donald Trump. The majority of the party, led by Hillary Clinton, then spent four years telling any media outlet that would listen that Trump was not a legitimate president — and in 2020 even advised Joe Biden not to concede under any circumstances, should Trump also win that election. Now we find ourselves in a unique situation in 2024, as several close allies of Kamala Harris are signaling that should Trump capture the Electoral College, they will not certify his win this time around, citing everything from his criminal cases against him, to an invocation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Kamala Harris, as the sitting vice president of the United States, must answer if she will certify a Trump victory, despite the calls against doing so coming from those close to her campaign.

It has probably finally hit them as to the consequences of unfettered Middle Eastern/North African emigration to Europe.

Didn't even the mayor of Aurora say that it wasn't happening? Of course, he wants to minimize any bad name associated with his city.

Someone earlier (a hyskool girl?) was severely injured by exactly this.

And of imposing the greatest feeling of "I've been violated" that people might feel.
