It's sadly being drowned out by election coverage, but subway hero Daniel Penny is on trial right now in New York for protecting passersby from a dangerous maniac.

Today, bombshell evidence went public for the first time: Even though Penny is facing decades in prison for supposedly choking Jordan Neely to death, Neely in fact still had a pulse when police arrived, and only actually died well after Neely was separated from him.

Neely must be acquitted immediately, and then compensated by the New York government for this travesty.

Last week, election officials in three different Pennsylvania counties noticed stacks of fake registration forms piling up and now we know who’s behind it: a Democrat-aligned group from Arizona that works almost exclusively with anti-Trump outfits. Once the news broke, they wiped their website off the internet.

A young Kamala Harris voter in Pennsylvania told me earlier today she can’t get ahead in America because of “systemic racism.” Here’s what I told her: the more you think of yourself as a victim, the more likely you are to become one.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

The Supreme Court has unfortunately today sided with the Secretary of State of Michigan and Wisconsin, both Democrats, to undermine election integrity and leave my name on the ballot in both those states. It is a purely political move in the hope that folks who would have otherwise voted for Trump will throw away their vote by voting for me instead.​ Don’t let them undermine this election. Don’t be fooled. I am off the ballot in every other state I have sought to get of​f of other than Michigan and Wisconsin. So, if you are in Michigan or Wisconsin, please make sure to vote for ​Donald Trump — DO NOT VOTE FOR ME. Together we will ​Make America ​Healthy ​Again!

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

Really powerful. Take 90 seconds to watch and share.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

Comparing Trump to “Hitler” is not only insane. It’s reckless. We’ve seen two assassination attempts already, we don’t need things to get any worse. Our country is skating on thin ice, there’s a lot of crazy people out there, and we can’t afford to inadvertently stoke the flames of political violence just 13 days before the election. I’m calling on Kamala Harris to apologize now.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

This is the kind of inflammatory poison that divides our nation and inspires assassins. It’s particularly ironic since Biden/Harris have just pushed through DoD Directive 5240.01 giving the Pentagon power — for the first time in history — to use lethal force to kill Americans on U.S. soil who protest government policies. If you want to understand a politician, the words from her mouth have little relevance. Look at her feet.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

You want to know why nobody cares about the Left-wing media's latest oppo dump? The answer is obvious: people care about the quality of their lives. And life is getting worse under Democratic governance.

Here's just a quick story.

We're in LA this week. So we decided to go out with some friends, a husband and wife. Nice area of the city, well lit, not too late at night.

We finish dinner at around 10:30 and head back to our car. Since my wife and I have 24/7 security, we're safe. Not so for our friends. They get to their car...

And as soon as they do, a Hyundai without plates speeds up and stops. Three young black guys jump out of the car (suspect description relevant because they're still at large!) and rush up to my friend, yank him out of his car, and grab his watch, phone and wallet. They then sprint around the car and grab his wife, start trying to pull off her jewelry. She screams and kicks, and presumably losing time, they take off in top gear down the street.

As stated, they're still at large. It took about 15 minutes for the cops to arrive. Not their fault -- LA is wildly understaffed, and the LAPD has been treated horribly by the city government, such that officers have been targeted for simply doing their jobs. I know and am friends with many of them. My friend and his wife weren't armed up, either, because it's nearly impossible to carry a gun in LA legally, and also because if you shoot a criminal in LA, there's a solid shot YOU end up in jail.

Now, here's the thing. My friend and his wife have lived in LA for decades. In the last several years, they've been assaulted more than once on the street. Zero arrests. Zero prosecutions.

This is just one of the reasons we left LA, where I had lived my entire life. And it's getting worse, not better.

This is why people increasingly don't give a shit about the media's latest horror story about Trump Saying Bad Things™. The same people who maintain that street crime is no big deal, or a reflection of institutional racism, or that inflation is hunky dory, or that biggest issue in American life is whether or not Billy has the right to be called Susan...these are not serious people. But people's lives are serious business. And bad governance means worse lives for people.

[Joel Ramos @thevigeek]

If this is true, why are people not accusing ABC and the moderators of election interference? If FOX and FOX moderators were accused of doing this, the FBI would have dragged them into jail already.

@DonaldJTNewsX absolutely 100%

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.

Hey wait a second

Good thing the adults finally stepped in and fixed this!

🚨BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS has struck down the Biden-Harris administration's rewrite of Title IX, which would have allowed men in women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, dorms, and compelled speech.

HUGE win. Onward!

Trump has 1.3 million people listening live on X in spite of a massive cyber attack to crash the space.

Kamala announcing her Vice President to a stadium of “supporters” in Philadelphia had 500 people watching.

And Kamala STOLE Biden’s YouTube to do it.

Only one real campaign

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

🚨BREAKING: Imane Khelif (XY) dominated World Champion Lang Liu (XX) to win an Olympic gold medal.

Let me repeat that: a MALE has taken a WOMAN'S Olympic gold.

This is what they call this "progress." It's the ultimate betrayal of fairness, safety, and women by @iocmedia.

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

Your 401k is in free fall. Prices are up 20%. Our border is wide open.

But Biden and Harris are focused on the real issue: plastic forks.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

TRUTH.

1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

In 2023, a high school on Chicago’s South Side was being turned into a migrant encampment, at a cost of ~$7k per migrant per month. Americans who live there rightly wondered if they’d be treated better by flying to Mexico & re-crossing the Southern border, instead of playing by the rules right where they are.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Kamala Harris is running her entire campaign on the basis of identity politics. She is running away from every single progressive position she used to hold, with the exception of union giveaways and anti-Israel rhetoric. Hold her accountable. Expose her lies.

[Joel Ramos @thevigeek]

where was the governor when Trump was misquoted by the media? Why didn't he pass a bill to make that illegal?

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

JUST IN: Elon Musk tells CA Governor Gavin Newsom to "Suggon Deeznutz" after Newsom threatened to change the law to make AI “ad” voices illegal.

Newsom was upset over a parody video (below) that Musk shared on X.

"Manipulating a voice in an “ad” like this one should be illegal. I’ll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is," Newsom said.

"I checked with renowned world authority, Professor Suggon Deeznutz, and he said parody is legal in America," Musk shot back.

Epic.

Here’s a message the media doesn’t want you to hear from the @GOP:

To gay Americans: you’re free to marry who you want (if you want), without the government standing in your way. But that doesn’t mean men should compete with women in sports.

To black Americans: the media has tried to convince you for decades that Republicans don’t care about your communities. We want for you what we want for every American: safe neighborhoods, clean streets, good jobs, a better life for your children, and a justice system that treats everyone equally – regardless of your skin color or your political beliefs.

To every *legal* immigrant: you’re like my parents. You deserve the opportunity to secure a better life for your children in America. But our message illegal immigrants is also this: we will return you to your country of origin, not because you’re all bad people, but because you broke the law.

To Gen Z: you’re going to be the generation that actually saves our country. You want to stand up to the man? Try calling yourself a conservative. Say you want to get married, have kids, & teach them to pledge allegiance to our country.

My message to everyone who disagrees with us is this: we will still defend to the death your right to say it.

Because that’s who we are as Americans.
