I just heard on The Five that Maxim Magazine endorses Donald Trump. Had to look it up... I'm curious how old the pic is.

For what that's worth....

Sen. Bob Casey, Dem incumbent in PA, is running in a very tight race against Republican Dave McCormick. Casey's new ad tries to distance himself from the Democrats, labeling himself an "Independent", and claiming to support Trump policies. He knows PA is going for Trump.

Democrats in tight Senate races run ads touting their work with Trump

https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter

Ads have been released that show four Democratic Senate candidates in battleground states either working with former President Donald Trump or agreeing with his messaging as the November election is less than a month away.

Campaign ads for Rep. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Sen. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, and Sen. Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin focus on the Democratic candidates' alliance with Trump or his policies, implying that aligning with the former president may benefit their campaigns more than siding with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

While Trump is behind Harris by 1.4 points nationally according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, he leads the vice president in every battleground state.

Slotkin, who is running for Senate, released an ad in which she criticized electric vehicle mandates and promoted manufacturing EVs in the U.S.

"I live on a dirt road, nowhere near a charging station, so I don't own an electric car," Slotkin said. "No one should tell us what to buy, and no one is gonna mandate anything. But here's the thing: If there's gonna be a new generation of vehicles, I want that new generation built right here in Michigan, not China."

However, Slotkin voted against the GOP-led bill last month that would have blocked the Environmental Protection Agency's new emissions standards requiring up to two-thirds of new cars sold to be EVs by 2032.

In Ohio, an ad produced by a PAC for Brown noted that "he wrote a bill that Donald Trump signed to crack down on drugs at the border."

Meanwhile, a clip of a Casey ad described how the senator "sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating."

In Baldwin's ad, it says, "Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill. Then she got President Biden to make it permanent."

The Trump campaign criticized the Democrats' ads, distancing them from the GOP presidential nominee.

"It's not exactly the behavior you'd expect from candidates who believe their nominee is winning," the campaign said in a statement. "They're all complete and total frauds. Each of them supported both impeachment hoaxes against President Trump and have voted to enable the toxic Harris-Biden agenda every step of the way."

Pollster Scott Rasmussen told Just the News on Friday that the ads of the Democratic candidates do not imply that they all believe Trump will win.

"Senator Brown in Ohio is quite aware that Trump will win his state and he's hoping to defy political gravity. That requires a lot of distancing from Harris and the national party," Rasmussen said.

"For the others, it does NOT reflect a belief that Donald Trump will win," he added. "However, it is an acknowledgement that many in their state support the former president and some of the specific policies. Additionally, the GOP candidates in those states are running behind Trump's totals. For a Democratic candidate, it's essential to maintain that gap."

Yep. Or to put it euphemistically, they see the handwriting on the wall.

Never ever trust a democrat - they will say anything and do anything for power.

Once a scumbag traitor to America, always a scumbag. This guy is proof positive.

Boxing Hall of Famer Thomas 'Hitman' Hearns joins Trump on stage at Detroit rally: 'This can't be real'

By Ryan Morik | Fox News
Published October 18, 2024 9:59pm EDT

Former President Trump held a rally in the Detroit area, and he invited a local legend to the stage.

The three-time Republican presidential nominee was at Huntington Place in downtown Detroit, and, before he took the stage, he took a photo with boxing legend Thomas "Hitman" Hearns, a Detroit native.

Trump then spotted Hearns in the audience and invited him to the stage.

"I won so much money betting on this guy. … Some of the greatest fights in history," Trump said.

"One of the greatest fights of all time, and man, I'll tell you what, he was something special."

Hearns eventually joined Trump on the stage and seemed in disbelief.

"Hearing those nice words coming from you, man, this can't be real. … Hearing it come from you, I'm very excited. I want to fight now."

Hearns boxed professionally from 1977 to 2006 and was the first boxer to become a world champion in five different weight classes. He did it in six — welterweight, light middleweight, middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and cruiserweight. Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have since joined him.

Hearns made history with Leonard in 1981. Their $17 million combined purse was the largest in the sport's history at the time. It was his first loss after starting 32-0, and the bout went 14 rounds. The two had a rematch eight years later, which ended in a draw.

Hearns' last title victory came on April 10, 1999, when he beat Nate Miller for the vacant IBO cruiserweight title. He lost it almost exactly one year later in his hometown to Uriah Grant.

His final fight was a victory, his 61st, Feb. 4, 2006, at The Palace of Auburn Hills. He retired with just five losses and a draw in his 67 fights.

The "journalists" are starting to turn against her. Nobody wants to be a propagandist for a loser.

You will be hearing from the attorney for the International League of Rattus rattus about defaming the rats of the world by comparing them to Democrats and the media.

This is a start but he needs to use facts to counter punch and rip apart all of the DNC lies being spread about what he accomplished and his plans for the future.

Trump is not great with recalling the specific facts and driving the point home, rather he riffs on the subject with jabs and barbs. I get frustrated with this during debates, but it's just how he is. I don't think any of us can say we would do better under pressure.

But this appears to be JD Vance's strong point - the "can you hear yourself, how many apartment building in the US is it OK for Venezuelan gangs to take over" Brilliant turnaround! That stupid woman had no answer because there IS no acceptable answer other than zero. And he did it respectfully and jovially and without direct insults. Trump would have been more insulting. Not that she didn't deserve the insults.

Trump first to clear margin of error in North Carolina polling, leads by 5

Trump is slated to visit battleground Monday with him leading 51-46%.

https://justthenews.com/nation..._campaign=newsletter

Less than 48 hours before arrival in North Carolina and just over two weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump has become the first to clear the margin of error leading a presidential poll in the battleground state.

Trump leads Kamala Harris 51%-46% in the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports and American Thinker. The margin of error is +/- 3% with a 95% level of confidence in the sampling of 1,042 likely voters taken Oct. 9 through Monday.

Trump is slated for a visit to the East Carolina University campus in Greenville on Monday afternoon, where he’ll speak from Minges Coliseum. Pitt County was a 53.96%-44.51% win for the challenger Biden against the incumbent Republican in 2020, taking more than 47,000 of 87,573 votes.

Pitt was one of 10 counties, and the southern-most sans one, east of Interstate 95 he captured. The Maine to Florida connector is recognized as a bit of a divider for the state, with more populous areas toward the western two-thirds and plenty of rural socioeconomic challenges from it to the Atlantic Ocean.

Other key answers from the poll: Federal funding is favored 80%-12% for Americans impacted by disaster over “assistance for illegal aliens;” 70% prefer “major change” to “business as usual” in relation to the next president’s governing; and Harris, daughter of an Indian mother and Jamaican father, is collecting 70% of Black voters as compared to 92% by Biden in 2020.

The top issues question in choosing a president or U.S. senator was led by the economy (33%), border security (17%) and abortion (12%). At 7% each were violent crime, climate change and government corruption. Education (5%) matched other (5%) and was just in front of not sure (4%) and global conflicts and war (3%). North Carolina does not have a Senate seat race this year.

On the question of “who is the biggest enemy America faces?” the Democratic Party got 27%, China 19%, the Republican Party 16%, Russia 15%, domestic extremists 9%, unsure 8%, and Iran 6%.

In 2020, Trump won North Carolina 49.9%-48.6% over the ticket of Biden and Harris. In 2016, Trump won the state 49.8%-46.2% over the ticket of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Trump outperformed the September and October polls each time.

North Carolina is one of seven consensus battleground states that collectively pivot 93 electoral college votes. Few prognosticators believe either candidate can win without the state or Pennsylvania, and perhaps need to take both.

Pennsylvania has 19 electoral college votes, North Carolina and Georgia 16 each, Michigan 15, Arizona 11, Wisconsin 10 and Nevada six.

The 78-year-old Trump has a 20-point platform, led by a return to enforcement of securing national borders. He chastises the Democrats for inflation that at 2.4% remains higher than when he left office in January 2021, yet is considerably lower than the 9.1% high of June 2022 in the era of Bidenomics. Energy independence and “manufacturing superpower” are also in his top five.

Harris, second in command to Biden and turning 60 on Sunday, says her top issues are an opportunity economy and lower costs for families. Tax cuts for the middle class, affordable rent and home ownership, and growth by small businesses also top her list. On abortion she favors federal regulation over state authority, meaning a return to Roe v. Wade.

Republicans own an unmistakable 14-cycle pattern in presidential elections. Since Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson carried North Carolina and won the presidency in 1964, only Democrats Jimmy Carter (1976) and Barack Obama (2008) have prevailed. Respectively four years later for each, they lost to Ronald Reagan and Mitt Romney.
