More than 13,000 convicted illegal alien killers now walk among us, NBC/CNBC pretend it's not just a problem for Biden-Harris, omitting that they more than doubled the "non-detained docket" in the US to more than 7.5 million

 

It is not clear when the first migrant of the 13,000 crossed into the U.S. Two law enforcement officials familiar with the data told NBC News many of the migrants on ICE’s non-detained docket, including serious criminals, crossed into the U.S. under previous administrations, including former President Donald Trump’s. ... There are currently more than 7.5 million immigrants on ICE’s “non-detained” docket, meaning they have pending immigration cases but are not currently in detention.

Fox has the truth:

The agency provided data to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, about illegal immigrants with criminal charges or convictions. The data, as of July 2024, is broken down by those in detention and those who are not in detention, known as the non-detained docket. 

The non-detained docket includes noncitizens who have final orders of removal or are going through removal proceedings but are not in ICE custody. 

There are more than 7.4 million people on that docket, up from around 3.7 million when former President Trump left office.

Democrats are whistling past the graveyard of the industrial downturn, but this article misses their coerced misallocation of investment to a green energy economy the voters don't want

 But perhaps most ominous are signs that domestic manufacturing is on the cusp of a full-blown sectoral recession. Output has declined for five months, no doubt due to uncertainty over interest rates, as well as the debilitating shortage of skilled workers. The contraction, however, isn’t merely a reflection of Federal Reserve policy reinforcing supply-side choke points, which has undercut Team Biden’s efforts to reshore industry. In fact, production has been largely anemic since at least the slump of 2019; according to the Institute for Supply Management, a leading industry association, a 13-month stretch from 2022 to 2023 was the longest downturn since 2000-2002, when Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China went into effect. ... 

These patterns should be of grave concern to progressives—as a matter of politics and policy. A similar, overlooked downturn late in President Barack Obama’s second term likely contributed to Hillary Clinton’s defeat in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in the 2016 election. That, along with her campaign’s astounding indifference to the industrial Midwest, practically cemented the view among many working-class whites that today’s Democrats have abandoned their New Deal roots. Although the Harris-Walz ticket appears to be sustaining momentum and has trained its focus on preserving the “Blue Wall,” unanticipated headwinds in battleground counties could spell the same fate as Clinton’s. ...

The reality is that dozens of counties reeling from job losses have effectively experienced what many wage-earners rightly feared: stagflation. In more rural regions, peak inflation was higher than the national average, a trend which spread from the South to the postindustrial Northeast. Its toll undoubtedly compounded the sense of helplessness among rural households, who tend to pay more for groceries and other staples. Mainstream liberals seem reluctant to acknowledge as much. ...

An economy pockmarked by mini-regional downturns, moreover, belies headlines heralding a manufacturing renaissance.

Kamala Harris is not cutting it with Pennsylvania Catholics like Joe Biden once did

 

 Harris’ challenge isn’t limited to abortion. The region continues to inch rightward. And Harris didn’t do herself any favors in 2018, when as a senator she grilled a Catholic judicial nominee about whether he could remain impartial due to his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a respected Catholic fraternal organization with a strong presence in northeastern Pennsylvania. The questioning is fuel for a multi-million-dollar campaign in swing states, including Pennsylvania, led by CatholicVote, a conservative advocacy group. ...  in the northeastern part of the state, Trump was ahead by a comfortable margin, 50 percent to 43 percent.

... white Catholics nationally voted for Trump by a wide margin in 2020 and were on pace to vote for him again, with a spring Pew survey finding that white, non-Hispanic Catholic voters preferred the former president by a 61 percent to 38 percent margin over Biden. According to a recent EWTN/RealClear poll, that gap has narrowed, with Trump leading Harris among white Catholics, 52 percent to 42 percent. ... A Brookings analysis earlier this year by University of Pennsylvania professor John DiLulio noted that Hillary Clinton lost the overall white Catholic vote by 33 points in 2016, but four years later, Biden cut that deficit in half, losing by only 15 points. “As much as any single shift in voting patterns between those two elections, the shift in the white Catholic vote away from Trump cost him the 2020 election,” wrote DiLulio.

The story never once mentions the possible appeal of J. D. Vance, a convert to Catholicism in 2019, to America's Catholic voters.

Core pce inflation rose year over year in August 2024 2.7% vs. 2.6% in July, a rate almost 69% worse than the average rate under Donald Trump

Kamala Harris dodges price controls question, Democrat hack Stephanie Ruhle is just fine with that

 Stephanie Ruhle is the Democrat hack who was a cheerleader for the orgy of pandemic spending, which Biden's economic adviser Jared Bernstein (who famously can't explain the fiat money system) thanked her for, and who once opined that it was good enough for Kamala to say bread costs 50% more because that proves she's not avoiding the issue.

ICYMI: The House Republican spending bill with Trump's provision to stop non-citizen vote fraud was defeated on Sept.18 202-220 because of 14 Republican No votes, 5 Republican No shows, and 2 Republican fools voting present

 

House GOP torpedoes Speaker Johnson’s funding bill :

A diverse group of House Republicans torpedoed Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) proposal to fund the government on Wednesday, dealing an embarrassing blow to the GOP leader and derailing his strategy to avoid a shutdown at the end of the month.

Fourteen Republicans joined virtually every Democrat in voting against the spending plan — which paired a six-month stopgap bill with a measure that would require proof of citizenship to vote — bringing the final tally to 202-220, with two voting present. Three Democrats crossed the aisle to back the measure. [Davis of North Carolina, Golden of Maine, and Perez of Washington State]

The Speaker faced a troika of GOP opposition, with hard-line conservatives criticizing the use of a continuing resolution; defense hawks voicing concern about the impact the long-term funding bill would have at the Pentagon; and moderates expressing worries about having a shutdown threat so close to the election.

The roll call vote is here. 5 Republicans didn't bother to vote, mostly liberals from New York. Libertarian fool Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Gazpacho Greene voted present. The 14 Nay Republicans included cranks Biggs, Boebert, and Burchett, as well as grandstander Matt Gaetz and Nancy Look At My Big Tits Mace.

Don't blame Donald Trump or Speaker Johnson, or the 199 Republicans who supported them.

Gallup: The political environment suggests the election is Trump’s and Republicans’ to lose

 The political environment suggests the election is Trump’s and Republicans’ to lose. Nearly every indicator of the election context is favorable to the Republican Party, and those that aren’t are essentially tied rather than showing a Democratic advantage. Nevertheless, the two major party presidential candidates have similar favorable ratings in Gallup’s September poll, echoing presidential preference polls that suggest a neck-and-neck race between Trump and Harris.
