Harris supporters say she’ll fix immigration, blame Trump for border crisis
Voters attending a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Flint, Michigan, argued that the Democratic nominee is better on immigration and that former President Trump is to blame for the current situation at the border. “She comes with compassion and a plan,” one voter attending the Harris rally Friday told Fox News Digital. “We know that we have problems down there, but we have to do it specifically to make the changes… just throwing out rhetoric and building a wall is not going to do it. This is about people’s lives who have come here because they’re in distress and danger, and we need to help them because that’s who we are.” The comments come as both Trump and Harris made multiple appearances in Michigan last week, highlighting the critical importance of a swing state that could decide the fate of November’s election. KAMALA HARRIS’ SUPPORT WITH ARAB AND MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN MICHIGAN IS ‘TENUOUS’: DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST With the election just over four weeks away, polling shows Michigan could be decided by a razor-thin margin once again. According to the Real Clear Politics polling average as of Sunday, Harris currently holds a narrow 0.7 point edge in the state. At the top of mind for voters in Michigan at both Trump and Harris rallies last week was immigration, with both sides agreeing that work needed to be done to secure the southern border. But while Trump supporters mostly pin the blame on the Biden administration, Harris supporters in Flint argued that it was Trump’s effort to kill President Biden’s bipartisan border legislation that was to blame for the current situation. “She has worked on a bill that she said that if she’s elected she’s going to sign into law that directly puts more people on the front line that would actually be helping with the border, while Trump shot that down,” a voter told Fox News Digital. TRUMP SAYS ISRAEL SHOULD HIT IRAN’S NUCLEAR FACILITIES, SLAMMING BIDEN’S RESPONSE “The Biden administration tried to put through an act that would make border crossings more limited and better. It was basically a slam dunk, Trump went and told his people ‘Hey, we need to shoot this down, we can’t let them get a win,’” another voter said. Meanwhile, some voters argued that all Trump brings to the table on the issue is “rhetoric” that divides people, while Harris has the experience to solve the problem. “Harris is better on immigration because she’s experienced in border security, the policies and legislation that are necessary to result in a secure border,” a voter said. “Border security is a complex issue which requires a plan that’s very specific, detailed, and complex. A complex problem needs a complex solution… what we hear from former President Trump is essentially rhetoric and simple verbiage that’s not going to solve a complex problem.”

Fetterman lauds Israel for leaving Iran ‘exposed and humiliated’ after strikes on Hamas, Hezbollah
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., on Sunday said that he will continue to “support and follow” Israel after seeing how the Jewish State has been able to humiliate Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. Fetterman made the remarks on “Fox News Sunday,” telling anchor Shannon Bream that Israel knows best about how to take on Iran and the regime’s proxies. “Whatever they decide to do in response to Iran, I’m going to support that because Israel will have a better idea of the intelligence and the circumstances on the ground,” Fetterman said. “And that’s why I’m going to support and follow that.” The Democrat praised Israel for their effective responses against Hezbollah and Hamas that he said left the Iranian proxies “cowering.” BIDEN SAYS HE WOULD NOT BACK ISRAELI STRIKE ON IRAN’S NUCLEAR SITE “I also want to celebrate what Israel has been able to do,” Fetterman said. “They’ve demolished Hamas and now they have humiliated Hezbollah and they are now cowering. And Iran shot, you know, 200 missiles and [Israel] vaporized those. So, Iran now is left exposed and humiliated, and Israel has put them back on the ropes. And I am going to support what they continue to do.” Iran bombarded Israel with 181 missiles last week in what the regime said was retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Lebanon, in an Israeli airstrike in September and the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July. Meanwhile, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have traded attacks with Israel since the Israel-Hamas war began on Oct. 7. Fetterman’s comments come days after President Biden told reporters that he would not support an attack by Israel on Iranian nuclear sites in retaliation for Iran’s missile attack against Israel amid fears that a lethal regional war is around the corner. Biden said all the G7 leaders on a recent call – France, Canada, Japan, Britain, Italy and Germany – agreed that Israel had the right to “proportionally” respond to Iran’s military strike. TRUMP SAYS ISRAEL SHOULD HIT IRAN’S NUCLEAR FACILITIES, SLAMMING BIDEN’S RESPONSE Biden’s response came under fire from former President Trump, who told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin on Thursday that Biden’s response on Israel attacking Iran was the “craziest thing I’ve ever heard. That’s the biggest risk we have. The biggest risk we have is nuclear.” Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday called out Western leaders who he said had called for an arms embargo on Israel over its airstrikes against Hamas in Gaza. “As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side, yet President Macron and other western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them,” Netanyahu said in a statement. He continued, “Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis, on Hamas and on its other proxies? Of course not. This axis of terror stands together, but countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel.” Fox News’ Brie Stimson contributed to this report.
Harris slammed for pledging millions to Lebanon as North Carolina suffers
Users on social media took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris after the Democratic nominee took to X to pledge millions of dollars in aid for Lebanon at the same time residents of North Carolina struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene. “This has to be fake. Even Kamala Harris, the gold standard of stupid, isn’t stupid enough to post this,” actor James Woods said on X Saturday. “Certainly not while North Carolinians are pulling the bodies of their neighbors from the wreckage. It’s simply inconceivable.” The post came in response to Harris pledging Saturday to send $157 million of “additional assistance” to Lebanon, which, she argued, is “facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.” AXELROD SAYS ‘UPSCALE’ NC HARRIS VOTERS WILL FIND WAY TO VOTE AFTER STORM, NOT SURE ABOUT RURAL TRUMP FANS “I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there,” the vice president said, adding that the money would go to “essential needs,” including “food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict.” Users on social media were quick to slam Harris for the post, arguing that many North Carolina residents are struggling to recover from Hurricane Helene and that the money would be better spent on those relief efforts. “Could this be any more tone deaf? We have Americans suffering and in danger right now after the hurricane and this is what Kamala has to announce. America First!” Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., said on X. PANTHERS OWNERS DONATES $3 MILLION TO HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF EFFORTS; BUCS ALSO GIVE 7 FIGURES “To be clear – Kamala Harris’ campaign-suicidal post this evening focusing on LEBANON while major disaster rescues and recovery are underway is an admission she is losing Michigan right now.,” journalist Eric Daugherty said in a post. “Kamala is touting giving money to the people of Lebanon-while stiff-arming the humanitarian crisis in North Carolina,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said on X. “This is Kamala’s Katrina.” The controversial tweet comes as the Biden administration has continued to face backlash for its handling of Helene, with former President Trump calling the federal response to the disaster the “most incompetently managed ‘storm,’ at the federal level, ever seen before.” “Kamala and Sleepy Joe are universally being given POOR GRADES for the way that they are handling the Hurricane, especially in North Carolina,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The White House and Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
Walz tries to downplay laws he signed granting benefits to illegals in Minnesota: ‘Not the VP’s position’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sought to distance Vice President Kamala Harris from laws he himself signed that granted benefits to illegal immigrants in Minnesota on Sunday. Walz made the comments during a wide-ranging interview on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream. Bream pressed Walz on his military history and his record on abortion in addition to questioning him on legislation he signed in Minnesota that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses and receive state-funded tuition assistance, among other benefits. “Are those not magnets to draw people here, many times on dangerous journeys for themselves? And why should your taxpayers in Minnesota or across the states pay for those programs?” Bream asked. “Well, that’s not the vice president’s position,” Walz admitted, before going on to defend his leadership in Minnesota. TRUMP CAMPAIGN PUSHES BACK ON ‘SNL’ SKIT ABOUT ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS: ‘DISGUSTING’ “But I will say this, Minnesota ranks as a top five business state. We rank as a top three state for children living, and we’re a top state for health care access,” he said. “Look, the Vice President has made it clear that she has policies that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest, the fairest we’ve seen.” Bream also challenged Walz to clarify his ticket’s position on abortion access. The exchange ultimately led to Walz flatly accusing former President Trump of lying when he said he would not sign a national abortion ban into law. Bream began by pointing out that Minnesota’s abortion law imposes no limits on abortion procedures through all nine months of pregnancy, something that goes far beyond the provisions of Roe v. Wade, which Harris and Walz said they support. “You signed the bill that makes it legal through all nine months. Is that a position you think Democrats should advocate for nationally?” Bream asked. “The vice president and I have been clear the restoration of Roe versus Wade is what we’re asking for,” Walz responded. HARRIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGES MORE MEDIA INTERVIEWS AS VOTERS STILL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HER POLICIES “But that law goes far beyond Roe v. Wade,” Bream pressed. “Let’s agree, in what you signed there’s not a single limit through nine months of pregnancy. Roe had a trimester framework that did have limits through the pregnancy. The Minnesota law does not have that.” “This doesn’t change anything. It puts the decision back on to the woman, to the physicians,” Walz responded. “And we know that this is simply something to be brought up – to be very clear Donald Trump’s asking for a nationwide abortion ban.” “[Trump] has said repeatedly that he will not sign a national abortion ban. Are you calling that a flat out lie?” Bream asked. “Yes, of course, and Senator Vance has in the past said so too,” Walz said. Bream concluded the interview by giving Walz a chance to respond to criticism of his frequent “misstatements,” such as his claims about military service and his assertion that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre. “Look, I speak passionately. I had an entire career, decades before I was in public office. They know, and I’m very proud of my 24 years in service and my record. I have never disparaged someone else in this, but I know that’s not what Donald Trump does. They disparage everyone,” Walz said. “I will own up when I misspeak. I will own up when I make a mistake. Let’s be very clear. On that debate stage the other night, I asked one very simple question and Senator Vance would not acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,” he finished.
Trump supporter Elon Musk offers massive hourly pay to those working to increase voter turnout
Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s political action committee is offering a starting salary of $30 an hour to individuals seeking to increase voter registration and turnout, the PAC’s website shows. “JOIN OUR TEAM,” Musk-founded America PAC reads on its website. “Email us if you are interested in working on increasing voter registration and voter turnout. Pay starts at $30 per hour, with bonuses for performance.” Musk endorsed former President Trump earlier this summer as the 45th president seeks to again win the Oval Office. The Tesla founder joined Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening as Trump made a historic return to the town following an assassination attempt that left him bloodied and injured on July 13 during a rally. “I think it’s the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms… They want to take away your right to vote effectively,” Musk told the crowd on Saturday. ELON MUSK’S PRO-TRUMP SUPER PAC LAUNCHES WEBSITE TO INCREASE CANVASSERS IN BATTLEGROUND STATES Musk repeatedly encouraged the crowds to get everyone in their social circles and beyond to register and vote come Election Day. TRUMP CHATS WITH MUSK IN LENGTHY, OVERARCHING INTERVIEW AS HARRIS CONTINUES SNUBBING MEDIA “And honestly, you want to just be a pest. Just be a pest to everyone. You know, people on the street everywhere,” he said. “Fight, fight, fight, vote, vote, vote,” Musk added, referring to how Trump shouted “fight, fight, fight” to the crowds after he was shot in the ear in July. MUSK ENERGIZES TRUMP SUPPORTERS AT BUTLER RALLY, 3 MONTHS AFTER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER PRESIDENT His comments follow closely with the mission of his America PAC, which says it works to promote “free speech, free markets, and a merit-based society.” Musk launched the super PAC’s website last month to bolster canvassing efforts in key battleground states like Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, as well as in individual competitive districts across the country. The PAC was officially formed earlier in the summer, with Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings from late last month showing the America PAC has already invested at least $2.4 million in more than a dozen key congressional races. Musk said in July he planned to commit about $45 million a month to the super PAC. ELON MUSK CALLS 2024 A ‘MUST-WIN SITUATION’ FOR FREE SPEECH, TOUTS TRUMP’S CHARACTER AFTER BEING ‘UNDER FIRE’ Social media commenters took note of the canvassing efforts through the America PAC, underscoring the high hourly pay, which is a more than a 300% increase compared to the federal hourly minimum wage of $7.25. Turning Point Action and America PAC joined forces in Wisconsin, Politico reported last week, to help bolster the Republican Party’s get-out-the-vote ground game. “We’ve always known bodies in the field equals ballots in the box,” Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for Turning Point, told Politico. “This partnership will be a major lift to our efforts to ensure our ballot chasers are able to maximize their impact in Wisconsin.” Musk, who has described himself as a “historically moderate Democrat,” hosted Trump for a two-hour conversation streamed on X in August that included the 45th president speaking at length about immigration woes, spiraling inflation issues, the assassination attempt against his life, and policies he would implement if he wins on Nov. 5.

Boy ‘stabbed 50 times’, burned alive in suspected drug turf war in France
Prosecutor says slain teenager in the city of Marseille was allegedly hired by a 23-year-old prisoner to intimidate a member of a rival gang. A 15-year-old boy was “stabbed 50 times” and burned alive earlier this week in southern France, in an apparent case of drug-related violence that appeared to be linked to a second murder case, according to prosecutors in the city of Marseille. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said the teenager was murdered on Wednesday, describing the case as one of “unprecedented savagery”. Marseille, France’s second-largest city but also one of its poorest, has been plagued in recent years by drug-related violence described in the French media as “narco-homicide”. The city has in recent years witnessed a turf war for control of the highly profitable drug market between various clans, including DZ Mafia. According to Bessone, the slain teenager had been hired by a 23-year-old prisoner to intimidate a competitor by setting fire to his door, adding that he had been promised 2,000 euros ($2,200). The L’Yonne Republicaine newspaper identified the mastermind as a detainee at the Aix-Luynes penitentiary near Aix-en-Provence and a member of the DZ Mafia group. Before carrying out the attack, however, the armed teenager was spotted by members of a rival gang, who then stabbed him repeatedly and set him on fire, the prosecutor said. After his original plot failed following the death of the teenager, the same prisoner in Luynes then recruited a second minor, a 14-year-old, to carry out a revenge attack and kill a member of the rival gang, promising to pay the boy 50,000 euros ($55,000). Having been ordered to carry out his mission, the teenager and another individual boarded a taxi to the location of the revenge attack. The teenager then reportedly asked the unnamed 36-year-old driver to wait for him. When the driver refused his request, the would-be teenager killer got enraged and shot the driver dead, using a 357 Magnum revolver, before fleeing, according to the Le Monde newspaper. The suspects and victims of the killings have not been named by the prosecutor. The two latest cases bring the number of drug-related killings in Marseille to 17 this year. A total of 49 people were killed in drug-related violence in Marseille in 2023. Bessone, the prosecutor, noted that the victims and perpetrators of recent violence in the city were becoming increasingly younger. Adblock test (Why?)
Rwanda begins vaccination drive to curb Marburg virus outbreak
Government to prioritise those ‘most at risk’ and ‘most exposed healthcare workers’ following the deaths of 12 people. Rwanda has announced that it has started administering vaccine doses against the Marburg virus to try to combat an outbreak of the Ebola-like disease in the East African country. “The vaccination is starting today immediately,” Health Minister Sabin Nsanzimana said at a news conference on Sunday in the capital, Kigali. The Marburg virus has killed 12 people in Rwanda since it was declared an outbreak on September 27. Authorities said at the time that the first cases had been found among patients in health facilities. There is still no confirmation of the source of the outbreak. The minister said the vaccinations would focus on those “most at risk, most exposed healthcare workers working in treatment centres, in the hospitals, in ICU, in emergency, but also the close contacts of the confirmed cases”. “We believe that, with vaccines, we have a powerful tool to stop the spread of this virus,” the minister said. The country has already received shipments of the vaccines including from the Sabin Vaccine Institute. The Marburg virus has a ‘filamentous’ structure and is transmitted by fruit bats [Shutterstock] The government said there were 46 confirmed cases, with 29 of them in isolation. Health authorities have identified at least 400 people who came into contact with confirmed cases of the virus. Like Ebola, the Marburg virus is believed to originate in fruit bats and spreads between people through close contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals or with surfaces, such as contaminated bedsheets. Without treatment, Marburg can be fatal in up to 88 percent of people who fall ill with the disease. Its symptoms include fever, muscle pains, diarrhoea, vomiting and, in some cases, extreme blood loss, often leading to death. There is no authorised vaccine or treatment for Marburg. Marburg outbreaks and individual cases have in the past been recorded in Tanzania, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya, South Africa, Uganda and Ghana, according to the World Health Organization.
