[NYPOST] The United States Secret Service is investigating allegations a female agent left her post at a campaign event for former President Trump this week to breastfeed her child.
''All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards. While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further,'' Secret Service front man Anthony Guglielmi told The Post.
The breastfeeding allegation was first made by RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree in a lengthy X posting Thursday — shortly after the Trump campaign event in Asheville, North Carolina.
''The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president,'' Crabtree wrote.
''A working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment. The woman was out of the Atlanta Field Office,'' she added, citing three people ''in the Secret Service community'' as the source of the info.
The charge comes as the agency is already under fire for security lapses which lead to a near-fatal liquidation attempt against Trump last month.
Secret Service Director Kimberley Cheatle, who made elevating more women into the agency a priority, was forced to resign amid the fallout.
[FEDERALIST] The Federal Bureau of Prisons has been registering federal prisoners to vote in Alabama, according to Secretary of State Wes Allen, an effort he claims is ''illegal.''
Allen said federal prison inmates include “high percentages of noncitizens,” people “not domiciled in Alabama,” and convicts of “crimes of moral turpitude” — defined as “wicked, deviant behavior” — all of whom could be “ineligible to vote” in the state, Allen said in the statement.
''At least one liberal third-party organization has been deployed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to conduct voter registration in federal prisons in Alabama,'' Allen said in a statement to The Federalist. ''Obviously, this raised questions for my staff and I.''
[Whatfinger] "It’s illegal, you say, for illegal aliens to vote in a federal election. Well, actually, it’s not illegal, it turns out. Congress passed something in the US code, the federal code, a line that, unbeknownst to the rest of us, makes it legal for illegal aliens to vote in federal elections if they believe they are citizens. It’s a state of mind" Founder of True The Vote, Catherine Engelbrecht found in the US Code "Non citizens can vote without penalty if at the time they are voting they believe themselves to be US citizens.

[NEWARAB] US Green Party candidate Jill Stein announced her pick for her vice-presidential running mate at an online event on Friday night - academic, activist and Moslem convert Rudolph "Butch" Ware.
Perhaps they’ll split the Moslem vote with the Democrats and the Republicans. But it still won’t be enough to get the Green Party out of the small single digits as their share of the vote.
The announcement came after days of speculation over who Stein would choose in her, by all indications, quixotic campaign for president.
Over the past several days, multiple names - mainly Arab Americans - have been floated as Stein's VP contender, however Ware's name did not appear in most major news reports on the subject.
After Stein announced him as her running mate, Ware described himself as a "willing warrior with resolve in the cause of liberation."
Stein, who ran for president in 2016 and in 2020, followed up by saying, "We're going to turn the empire upside down." She went on to praise their alliance as a Jewish woman and a Moslem man, describing their ticket as unstoppable.
The web event lasted nearly an hour and 45 minutes with around the first hour and a half dedicated to the run-up to the VP pick. The discussion mainly focused on the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... and the duopoly of the two-party system that prevents multiple parties from running for president.
Though Stein appears to have no viable path to the presidency, raising concerns among many that she is a potential election spoiler, she does have a significant following in the Arab and Moslem communities. This is mainly due to her unconditional support for a ceasefire in Gaza and for a US arms embargo on Israel.
"She's the only campaign with a principled stance on Paleostine. We should all get behind her," Amer Zahr, a comedian and activist from Dearborn told, whose name has been in the news recently as a potential running mate for Stein told The New Arab.
Rudolph "Butch" T. Ware III is a historian of West Africa at the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Santa Barbara. He formerly taught at the University of Michigan and before then at Northwestern University.[1][2] He received his Ph.D. in history in 2004 from the University of Pennsylvania.
[GatewayPundit] Left-leaning media outlets like MSNBC are doing their best to protect Vice President Kamala Harris launched her campaign on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” from scrutiny.
As Ben Shapiro has been so keen on pointing out these last few weeks, it’s been nearly 30 days since Harris became the de facto Democrat nominee, and not once in that time has the media asked her an adversarial question.
The media, which once loathed Harris, has provided nothing but glowing coverage of her. It hasn’t pushed her to lay out her policy proposals or explain how her new administration would be any different than the disastrously unpopular one she is currently serving in.
Given how hard set they are on protecting her, it’s likely the propagandists over at MSNBC were more than a bit troubled by the focus group that managed to find its way onto their airwaves Thursday.
The focus group, led by Harvard Institute of Politics Director of Polling John Della Volpe, sought to get a reading on where Gen-Z voters stand heading into the November election.
One issue seemed to feature most prominently for the Gen-Z voters polled: the state of the economy under the Biden-Harris regime.
"I’m 20 years old. Why is a one-bedroom apartment $1,600?" one Gen-Z voter asked. "Rent prices [are] outrageous and then these jobs, they’re bare-minimum jobs."
A common theme among the voters polled was frustration at the rising cost of housing.
Two voters even acknowledged they had recently experienced homelessness. One woman said she was working full time while she was homeless, indicating it was because she had to choose between eating and having a home.
Not all Gen-Z voters are going to have the wisdom to connect those rising prices to Democrat policies.
In fact, some of the very same voters in the focus group went on to praise Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ...Kamala's running mate, governor of Minnesota. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness.... That said, overall, voters tend to connect the current economic conditions to the sitting president — that’s why incumbent candidates often have a hard time winning re-election during recessions.
Many have forgotten that before COVID hit, it looked like Trump was going to coast to re-election, thanks largely to the strong economy he had led thus far.

It is great that we are ending the genocide in Paleostine, but that doesn't help in the checkout line. At some point, self interest overwhelms ideology. In the words of Karl Marx, "It's the economy, dummkopf!"
[Breitbart] Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... appear rattled that they could lose Senate, House, and presidential elections if Vice President Kamala Harris It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day is transparent about policy solutions to reverse the administration's failures.
Harris, who has not held an unscripted presser for 26 days since joining the race, is facing calls to not only remain hidden from the press but to keep her proposed policies a secret as she prepares to deliver economic proposals in North Carolina on Friday.
Harris, however, already published several policies, such as socialist-style price controls, subsidies for homeowners, and two policies that copy the Trump-Vance ticket: a child tax credit and no tax on tips.
''She doesn't need to negotiate against herself. We've got the biggest possible tent right now,'' Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), told Politico. ''I don't think there's a real strong reason for her to try to weed out any points of view right now.''
Harris's honeymoon phase of the campaign energized some Democrats, while others raised concerns against doing anything that could end the phase.

[NYPOST] Even the Washington Post isn't buying Vice President Kamala Harris What can be, unburdened by what has been ' plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries.
The longtime, left-leaning broadsheet — owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos — published a scathing editorial ripping the Democratic presidential nominee for claiming price gouging is causing inflation and, rather than offer a legit plan to fix it, offering only ''populist gimmicks.''
With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide during the Biden-Harris administration, Harris, during a North Carolina rally earlier Friday, unveiled economic policies she'd enact during her first 100 days as president that include enforcing government price controls on groceries.
Instead of ''level[ing] with voters'' and saying ''inflation spiked in 2021 mainly because the pandemic snarled supply chains, and that the Federal Reserve's policies, which the Biden-Harris administration supported, are working to slow it,'' the veep ''opted for a less forthright route: Blaming big business,'' the newspaper wrote.
