7. For months, Vice President Kamala Harris has touted the Border Patrol Union’s tepid support of the so-called “bipartisan” immigration bill, despite the union regularly calling out Harris for doing nothing about the issue for her and President Joe Biden’s entire term and now they are endorsing former President Donald Trump. The leadership of the union endorsed Trump at his rally in Arizona and said, “On behalf of the 16,000 men & women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for president of the United States.”
6. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s attempt to showcase his firearm skills backfired spectacularly during a recent hunting event, where he struggled to load his Beretta A400 shotgun, prompting mockery from opponents. With no pheasants bagged and social media buzzing with criticism of his ineptitude, Walz’s efforts to appeal to male voters amid a gender gap seem to have only highlighted his shortcomings.
5. The media and their Democrats have spent the last year lying about Project 2025, effectively, now they are moving on to fearmongering over “Agenda 47” which is the actual series of ideas laid out by the campaign of the potential 47th president Donald Trump. In truth, Agenda 47 is a comprehensive policy initiative proposed by Donald Trump that focuses on prioritizing American interests through measures such as strengthening border security, cutting taxes, eliminating regulations, promoting energy independence, and enhancing national security by ending the war in Ukraine and creating more missile defense technology, all aimed at revitalizing the economy and restoring what he describes as the “American Dream.
4. A Nevada man was arrested at a security checkpoint outside former President Donald Trump’s rally in Southern California after deputies found a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and ammunition in his vehicle; many are suggesting it could be another attempt on the former president’s life. The 49-year-old suspect was released on $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 2, with authorities stating the incident did not impact the safety of Trump or the event attendees.
3. GOP vice presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. JD Vance expertly explained how deranged the media and their Democrats are about immigration as he engaged in a heated exchange with ABC News host Martha Raddatz where she emphasized that incidents were confined to a few apartment complexes and highlighting the mayor’s assurance that the city has not been “invaded” by migrant gangs. But Sen. Vance countered, “Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’ open border? Americans are so fed up with what’s going on, and they have every right to be, and I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.”
2. Former President Donald Trump has closed the gap with Vice President Kamala Harris, with a new national poll showing both candidates tied at 48% support among registered voters. The tightened race comes just over three weeks before Election Day, with various polls indicating shifting momentum as the election approaches and even Time magazine is criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for declining multiple interview requests and refusing to provide policy proposals with Time noting, “Harris declined repeated requests for an interview for this story. In contrast, Trump talked about his policy vision with a TIME reporter for 90 minutes across two interviews.”
1. State Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) highlighted the primary hurdle to expanding Interstate 65 in Alabama from the Gulf Coast to Tennessee is the significant lack of funding for such a large-scale project, especially considering another much talked about project, the Northern Beltline around Birmingham, is suggested to cost about $110 million for every mile. While agreeing with Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth that widening I-65 is crucial for public safety during hurricanes, Orr emphasized that competing road projects across the state further complicate the funding situation.
