Happy Wednesday!

We’re 13 days away from the election, and we’re pouring this Brew with both hands and feet.

Kamala Plays Hooky Two Weeks from Election

Although we are now less than two weeks from Election Day, Kamala Harris took yesterday off. CNN tried to put it politely: “Kamala takes a break today to prepare for an interview.” An interview? Tell me she was at least in the Situation Room. 

Trump made quick work of Harris’s absence from the campaign trail.

There’s no excuse for her not being out there this close to the election. Even if Harris wants to take it a bit easy – and frankly, if I had spent all day Monday with Liz Cheney, I’d want to curl up on the couch all day, too — she lives in Washington, D.C. Zip down Wisconsin Ave from the vice president’s residence, cross the Francis Scott Key Bridge – not the one that collapsed, the other one – and she’s right there in the swing state of Virginia. Do a 30-minute appearance and then she can be back home with her favorite chardonnay within an hour.

If she loses the election, critics in her party will point to days like yesterday. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear grumbling about it today. Remember, for all of Hillary’s talk of Russians, sexism, James Comey, and the Loch Ness Monster causing her 2016 defeat, it was blowing off visits to Michigan and Wisconsin in those last days that did her in.

The numbers alone should have Harris motivated to get busy … unless she’s the type to wilt and quit when she’s behind.

NBC News reported Tuesday the Harris campaign is worried Michigan and North Carolina are slipping away. North Carolina went Trump’s way in 2020. But if Michigan goes, that’s a big 15 Electoral College votes.

A new USA Today/Suffix poll indicates Trump actually has opened a strong lead among Latino voters, 49% over Harris’s 38%. Who would’ve thunk that could ever happen?

There was also a depressing sight for Team Harris at the University of Georgia. While far from scientific, and the Trump crowd was drawn by Charlie Kirk, what must it do to Harris’s morale to see a Team Trump and a Team Harris event side by side, and a swarm of MAGA hats on a college campus. Eight, even four years ago, someone walking an American campus wearing a MAGA hat would have gotten that hat knocked off.

Team blue down hard.

The University of Georgia is where nursing student Laken Riley was brutally murdered by one of the thugs Kamala Harris ushered into our country.

If It’s Not a Hangover, It’s Another Headache: Kamala Harris Caught Plagiarizing Again

Guess who’s been caught plagiarizing again? Let’s just say Kamala Harris is Joe Biden in a pantsuit. The Washington Free Beacon has uncovered evidence showing that Harris plagiarized roughly 80% of her 2007 Congressional testimony from that given a few months earlier by a Republican.

This thread from the Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium is wonder.

EXCLUSIVE: In 2007, Kamala Harris plagiarized pages of Congressional testimony from a Republican colleague.

And in 2012, she plagiarized a fictionalized story about sex trafficking—but presented it as a real case.

It's not just one book; it's a career-long pattern.🧵 pic.twitter.com/ZiHkzxTg4r

When asked for comment, Harris said, “I have not yet begun to fight.” Then she unveiled her new original tough-on-crime slogan: “Go ahead. Make my day.”

No Joke: Kamala’s Allies Out to Destroy Elon Musk and Twitter

It is bad enough that 100 members of U.K.’s Labour Party are campaigning for Kamala Harris in American swing states — a little thing the Democrats used to call “foreign election interference.” But yesterday, Matt Taibbi and Paul D. Thacker broke a more ominous story.

They’ve uncovered emails showing Harris’s Labour Party allies are on a mission to “kill” Elon Musk’s X. That’s right. Harris’s pals want to destroy the ability of Americans and others around the world to share ideas and information with one another. And Trump’s the fascist? How does that work? 

1) EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Working w/ @mtaibbi we report on @CCDHate documents showing the Labour Party's political front's objective is "Kill Musk's Twitter" thru "Advertising focus" meaning harass his advertisers.

Musk is not taking the desire to kill his social media platform lightly. “This is war,” he posted.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 22, 2024

I’m not trying to be cute in tying this effort to Harris. NBC News reports the U.S. Department of Justice has received a request from former federal prosecutors to “review payments that are being made by the Elon Musk-founded America PAC to voters in Pennsylvania and other states that experts say raise serious questions under applicable law.

Musk is giving $1 million of his own money away each day until Election Day to someone who signs his petition to protect the First and Second Amendments.

We’ve seen the Biden-Harris administration play this game before. They coordinated with the National School Board Association to have it ask the DOJ to investigate concerned parents protesting woke ideology at school board meetings. That’s how they got labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the federal government. Similarly, the White House worked with the National Archives to have it complain to the DOJ about classified files they claimed Trump had. That’s how you got the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago and Melania Trump’s wardrobe.

Of course the DOJ is going to investigate Musk. 

Tell me again, which candidate has the media been telling us is planning to use the DOJ to target political enemies?

Catholic School Refuses to Play Team With Male Goalie

This is a story about fighting back against the transgender infiltration of women’s sports … and a cautionary tale to embrace with love those troubled souls suffering from gender confusion.

First, the fight. The girls’ soccer team of Bishop Bradly High School in Concord, New Hampshire has refused to play against Kearsage Regional High School, whose star goalie is the biological male Maelle Jacques. The 16-year-old first leapt into the public eye last February by winning the girls’ state high jump championship.

Now, the need for prayer. Jacques’s father, Marc Jacques, has just been sentenced to 60 months in prison for distributing child pornography.

To give you some idea of the elder Jacques’s depravity, he argued before the court that he should be kept out of prison so he could continue advocating for transgender athletes. And his two sons both told the court the same thing.

As Reduxx.info reported, Maelle’s brother Rimi also noted that their biological mother does not support Maelle competing against girls, which is why their father was their caregiver.

Speaking of his ex-wife, Jacques told the court, “Transgendered teens have the highest rate of suicide in the United States, and I am afraid for Maelle and her path if she is forced to live with her mother and her stepmother in a home where she is not supported and feels unwelcome.”

Please pray for Maelle. The Lord only knows what the poor kid had been subjected to. 

Shame on the Air Force Academy

The Air Force Academy played San Jose State University the other night in women’s volleyball. San Jose State’s star player is a biological male with a wicked spike who poses such a danger that several teams this season have forfeited rather than risk injury to their players. The Air Force Academy not only forced the women to play in the match rather than stand up for women’s sports, they threatened to boot out a fan wearing a shirt bearing the legend “Keep Women’s Sports Female.”

John Kopecky told Outkick security his shirt had a “political” message, which is not allowed. Curiously, Kopecky was wearing it underneath his hoodie sweatshirt.

OutKick obtained exclusive footage of an Air Force graduate being told he could not wear a shirt that read "Keep Women's Sports Female" during the team's home game against San Jose State, which has transgender player Blaire Fleming. pic.twitter.com/pgdYpsr1Oe

“They’ve never made me unzip a hoodie to get in before, so that was unusual,” he said. Security guards told him if he unzipped it during the match, he would be removed from the stands. Kopecky said he also noticed the décor in the gym was different than previous games. For example, there was a banner warning fans not to display any signs. He also said the school “brought out a big board with all these rules about fan conduct that may have been there in the past, but I’ve never seen it [displayed] right at the door.”

This happened at a United States military academy.

Along The Stream

Our 40-days fast for the nation continues with the latest prayer guide from Intercessors for America, “Contending for Breakthrough: The Media.”

John Zmirak is back with some deep theological questions, including “Did Jesus Have Brothers and Sisters? Is Mary a Perpetual Virgin? Is It Okay to Eat a Turkey Sandwich on the Ark of the Covenant?” It’s actually more serious than it sounds.

Al Perrotta is The Stream’s Washington bureau chief, coauthor with John Zmirak of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration, and coauthor of the counterterrorism memoir Hostile Intent: Protecting Yourself Against Terrorism.
