US boots hit ground in Israel as threat from Iran looms

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller U.S. servicemembers arrived in Israel on Monday amid the country’s chaotic multifront war with various actors in the region, and more troops will arrive soon, the Pentagon said on Tuesday. The Pentagon previously announced on Sunday that the troops would be deployed to the Middle East along with a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile battery system, meant to help Israel defend itself against potential aerial attacks against missile attacks from Iran. The approximately 100 troops that arrived on Monday will help operate the THAAD system, though the Pentagon wouldn’t say when it would be operational, given the sensitive security nature of the situation. “Over the coming days, additional U.S. military personnel and THAAD battery components ...

China’s espionage machine is overwhelming the west

By Nick Pope | The Daily Caller The Chinese government is conducting espionage activities on such a broad scale that Western governments are struggling to keep Beijing’s spying in check, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. In just the last month, the FBI said that Chinese government-linked hackers breached 260,000 internet-connected devices across the U.S. and Europe, while federal officials alleged that a former top aide to Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was a Chinese agent and a congressional report found that Chinese-made cargo cranes at America’s ports contained technology that would allow China to control them discreetly, according to the WSJ. Western intelligence agencies are sounding the alarm and asking the public to be vigilant for possible Ch...

Some Dems won’t commit to certifying election results if Trump wins

By Nick Pope | Daily Caller Several senior Democrats in Congress would not commit to certifying the results of the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins when asked by Axios. Many House Democrats have slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson for hedging his language about whether the GOP House majority would certify the results of the election if Vice President Kamala Harris wins, but Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland are doing the same thing, Axios reported. If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” Raskin told Axios. However, the lawmaker “definitely” will not assume that Trump would win by honest means.

Doug Emhoff accused of serial sexual misconduct in explosive new report

By Eireann Van Natta | Daily Caller Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ husband Dough Emhoff was allegedly routinely “inappropriate” and “misogynistic,” according to his former colleagues. Emhoff previously managed the law firm Venable’s Los Angeles Office from 2006 to 2017, according to the Daily Mail. Attorneys who worked at the firm accused him of shouting expletives and “asshole” behavior. An ex-staffer told the outlet anonymously that Emhoff allegedly boasted to management about how he “put [his secretary] in her place” after telling her to “Get the [****] out of my office.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

Kilpper: Hillary Clinton says quiet part out loud on free speech

By Gage Kilpper | Daily Caller The catch-and-release migrant programs created by President Joe Biden and endorsed by Vice President Kamala Harris have increased national security risks, according to the independent watchdog that oversees the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS Office of Inspector General released a report last week finding that Customs and Border Protection is releasing noncitizens without identification into the United States, contrary to federal law, in a manner that “inadvertently increases national security risks.” The same report also found that the Transportation Security Administration then lets these same unidentified noncitizens onto airplanes, where they are free to fly wherever they wish in the U.S. According to t...

Kamala’s new plan for the economy is basically take two on Bidenomics

By Nick Pope | Daily Caller Vice President Kamala Harris released an 82-page document explaining her vision for the economy on Wednesday, but the plan shares much in common with President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. The plan, titled “A New Way Forward For The Middle Class,” proposes to build upon Biden initiatives like student loan debt cancellation, industrial policy, huge subsidies for green energy and going after corporations for alleged price gouging. Prior to quitting the presidential race under immense political pressure, voters were largely dissatisfied with Biden’s economy, which had come to be defined by 40-year high inflation. “Harris isn’t going to stray very far from current Biden policies,” Ryan Young, a senior economist for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told...

The worst mistake of Joe Biden’s career becomes clear

By Salena Zito  | Daily Caller President Joe Biden’s worst career mistake became clear this week, and it should serve as a cautionary tale for young men. Uncle Joe’s political career is cooked. His legacy is already lost. And this week showed it. In his first official cabinet meeting in over a year, First Lady Jill Biden sat at the head of the table. Biden was then forced to appear on ABC’s “The View,” where the hosts treated him like a child and where he admitted he is still in denial about how his own party kicked him off the ballot. It was so undignified you pitied the man. But Biden brought this upon himself by making a strategic career error that might cost his legacy for future generations.

‘Sleeping giant’: US could be inches away from another economic crisis As massive port strike looms

By Owen Klinsky | Daily Caller Ten of thousands of dockworkers could go on strike on Oct. 1 in a move that experts say could wreak havoc on American supply chains and reignite the rapid inflation seen in the early years of the Biden-Harris administration. The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) — which represents more than 85,000 workers at three dozen U.S. ports along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico and whose members collectively handle about half of the U.S.’ maritime imports — has threatened to go on strike for the first time since 1977 if their wage and automation protection demands are not met by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) — the coalition representing shipping employers. The move could cost the U.S. economy roughly $5 billion a day in trade, and woul...

Authorities charge man with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller Federal prosecutors formally charged 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh on Tuesday with attempting to assassinate a major political candidate, according to court documents. Former President Donald Trump was rushed to safety on Sept. 15 while golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, after officials spotted Routh’s rifle barrel poking out of a bush.

Following Routh’s arrest, officials revealed that the 58-year-old had been hiding in a bush at the Trump International Golf Course. A Secret Service agent spotted his gun barrel...

Trump floats massive tariffs on John Deere if manufacturing shifts to Mexico

By Mariane Angela | Daily Caller Former President Donald Trump issued a warning Monday about imposing 200% tariffs on John Deere products if the company relocates its manufacturing operations to Mexico. Trump engaged with local farmers and manufacturers during an event in Smithton, Pennsylvania, about the impact of China’s economic policies on the U.S. economy, according to The Associated Press. The former president highlighted his economic strategy against Vice President Kamala Harris by pointing out the potential benefits of tariffs and increased energy production, which he argued could help lower costs and protect local industries. Trump highlighted John Deere’s recent decision to move some manufacturing to Mexico, and he threatened a 200% tariff on the company should it procee...
