Mario Murillo:
- Kamala Harris just told Christians they should not vote for her.
- Her exact words were, “You are in the wrong rally.” How does that equate to, “If you are Christian, you should not vote for me”? Here is the explanation. It happened at her Wisconsin rally.
- While speaking, she declared the glory of abortion. The crowd, which had been subdued till then, began cheering wildly in favor of killing babies. When the cheers died down, a man in the crowd shouted, “Jesus is Lord!”
- Harris taunted the man by saying, “You are in the wrong rally.”
- The man had said nothing against abortion. The man wore nothing MAGA. The only thing Harris knew was that he was a Christian. The crowd cheered again, apparently thrilled to know that Christians are not welcome in their party.
- But there is something more significant. As I said, the man wore nothing that showed he was a Trump supporter. This makes what she said even more blatant. She is telling us that Christians belong in the Trump campaign, but not in the Democratic campaign.
- Her insult of Christians began the day before. Harris had offended Catholics by skipping the Al Smith dinner, the one dinner political candidates running for president must never miss.
- This was not a harmless snub. It speaks to something much deeper. Rachel Murray is an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion, (you know, “woke”). In her article “Silence is Complicity,” she said, “Not showing up means that even if you aren’t actively taking the side of an aggressor, you are implicitly doing that.”
- Kamala’s insults are strategic. She is an aggressor against the body of Christ. Her tactics are straight out of the handbook “Rules for Radicals” by the late communist Saul Alinsky.
- I think God in His mercy let her blurt this out. Now you know Christians aren’t welcome in her world. And therefore, Christians won’t be welcome in her plans for America. I believe God did it for the Christians who are on the fence. Or—God forbid—are going to vote for her.

Important Takeaways:
- Tucker Carlson invited journalist Mark Halperin on his show to predict what the post-election future could look like for America and was horrified by what he heard.
- Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and a reporter and host for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris.
- ‘I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,’ he said, adding that liberals would question their ‘connection to the nation’ and suffer ‘trauma in the workplace.’
- Carlson, flabbergasted, responded: ‘Are you being serious?’
- Halperin confirmed he was “100% serious” before making even more dire predictions of a second Trump term.
- The former ABC, NBC and MSNBC reporter said Democrats could stomach Trump having won due to ‘a fluke’ in 2016 but that Trump winning fair and square would ruin their psyches.
- Halperin has hosted his own show ‘Focus Groups’ since 2020 and prides himself on being politically neutral when he appears regularly on a number of political podcasts. He was fired from roles at NBC and ABC in 2017 after he was accused of sexually harassing a number of female staff. He denied the allegations.
- Halperin predicted violence everywhere from protests to average, everyday interactions between Americans after the election should Trump win.
- ‘I think there’ll be workplace fights, fights at kids’ birthday parties, I think there will be protests that will turn violent. I hope they don’t, but I think there will be some,’ Halperin said.

Important Takeaways:
- North Korea has warned the United States of “serious consequences” after Washington provided South Korea with military hardware including Apache helicopters.
- Pyongyang’s warning comes in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris branding Kim Jong Un a tyrant at the Democratic National Convention.
- In the statement, published by the Department of Press and Information of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, the Chief of Foreign News said: “We strongly oppose and reject the U.S. and its vassal forces’ arms buildup posing a grave danger to the regional security environment and escalating the military tension and warn them seriously of the consequences to be entailed by it.’

Important Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris wants to hike the current 21% federal corporate income tax rate to 28%, higher than communist China’s 25% and the EU average of 21%, her campaign said Monday.
- The Kamala Harris federal 28% rate is higher than the Asia average corporate tax rate of 19.8%, the EU average of 21%, the world average of 23.5%, and the OECD average of 23.7%. (See the Tax Foundation’s comprehensive listing here.)
- The Harris federal 28% rate is also higher than Canada (26.2%), the UK (25%) Sweden (20.6%), and even Russia (20%), Afghanistan (20%), and Iraq (15%).
- After adding state corporate income taxes, the combined federal-state tax burden in most states will easily exceed 30% under the Harris plan.
- Under the Harris plan, the combined federal-state capital gains tax exceeds 50% in many states. California will face a combined federal-state rate of 57.8%, New Jersey 55.3%, Oregon at 54.5%, Minnesota at 54.4%, and New York State at 53.4%.
- Harris wants to impose a second Death Tax by taking away stepped-up basis when parents die. This would result in a mandatory capital gains tax at death — separate from, and in addition to — the current Death Tax.
- This will impose a steep tax increase and paperwork nightmare for small businesses, farms, and families

Important Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris Just Made A Colossal Mistake – Here Are 7 Things You Should Know About Tim Walz
- When I wrote that “Kamala Harris has a tendency to really mess things up”, I was not exaggerating one bit. This election is going to be decided by the swing states, and the most critical swing state by far is Pennsylvania. Whoever wins Pennsylvania is almost certainly going to win the presidency. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has a 61 percent favorability rating in his state, and so he was seemingly the obvious pick. The following comes from CNN…
- Pennsylvania, on the other hand, is almost certainly a must-win state for Harris if she wants to be president. In fact, it is probably the most important swing state this cycle, and the polling there has been very tight.
- Shapiro currently holds a 61% favorable rating in Pennsylvania and outperformed Biden’s 2020 baseline by 14 points in 2022.
- Whether that would have been enough to propel a Harris-Shapiro ticket in Pennsylvania this fall is a question mark, though political science literature suggests it very well could have.
- When Donald Trump learned that Harris had picked Walz, he issued a two word response…
- Trump took to Truth Social to deliver a two-word response to Harris’ choice of running mate.
- “THANK YOU!” Trump wrote in all capital letters.
- So why didn’t Harris pick Shapiro?
- Well, the truth is that many on the left were deeply concerned that he is Jewish and that he has a history of being strongly pro-Israel…
- There was apparently concern that having Shapiro on the ticket could cost Harris the state of Michigan if too many Muslims stayed home and didn’t vote.
- The following are 7 things that you should know about Tim Walz…
- #1 In 2020, Walz presided over the BLM riots that resulted in large portions of Minneapolis being burned to the ground…
- Walz is a radical leftist who presided over the George Floyd riots in 2020 and ignored cries from across the state. Instead, he stated that “a society that does not put equity and inclusion first will come to this result.”
- He even mocked Minnesota national guardsmen as a bunch of ’19-year-old cooks” when asked why he rejected Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s request to send them to the city.
- #2 Minnesota became a “sanctuary state” under Walz, and he has made sure that migrants are eligible for all sorts of free goodies…
- As governor, Walz also has signed several pieces of legislation to provide state-funded health care, driver’s licenses and free college tuition to illegal migrants.
- “Ensuring drivers in our state are licensed and carry insurance makes the roads safer for all Minnesotans,” Walz said in 2023 after signing the bill to allow thousands of illegal migrants in his state with driver’s licenses.
- #3 Minnesota also became a “trans refuge” state under Walz…
- Kamala Haris’ progressive running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, helped to transform Minnesota into a “trans refuge” state — signing legislation to protect gender-affirming care and to provide tampons in boys’ bathrooms at schools.
- Walz, 60, a former high school teacher, signed the so-called “Trans Refuge” bill into law in April 2023, prohibiting the enforcement of out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for people who travel to the North Star State from other states for gender-affirming care.
- #4 The bill that Walz signed into law in April 2023 also allows Minnesota authorities to take children from any parents that try to prevent their kids from getting sex change surgeries…
- Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly announced running mate — Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — signed a bill in April of 2023 allowing the state to make custody determinations if a child is denied access to sex-change procedures.
- The “Trans Refuge Bill” allows for “temporary emergency jurisdiction” if a parent denies their child sex-change procedures, according to the bill’s text. The bill defines the interventions, which include sex-changes, hormone replacement and cosmetic surgeries, as “medically necessary” so long as it “respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined” by the child.
- #5 It is being alleged that Walz quit the National Guard after he learned that his unit would be deployed to Iraq…
- Veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq.
- In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.
- #6 Many people don’t realize this, but Walz actually considers himself to be a Lutheran…
- More specifically, he sometimes describes himself as a “Minnesota Lutheran.” “Because we’re good Minnesota Lutherans, we have a rule: if you do something good and talk about it, it no longer counts,” Walz joked during a speech last spring. “So what you have to do is to get someone else to talk about you.”
- #7 It turns out that Walz has a very long history of being close to China…
- Walz, 60, went to China straight after college through a program set up by Harvard University and taught in Guangdong province, shortly after the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing in 1989.
- He would later honeymoon in China with his wife Gwen, bringing a group of 60 young people with them
- In the 1990s the couple set up a business which took high school students to China every summer for around a decade.
- Walz has been to China dozens of times, including on trade missions, and has called his experiences there ‘amazing’.

Important Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris came alarmingly close to a pipe bomb during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to a new report.
- The report says the pipe bomb had been “placed near the building the night before” according to ABC News
- “Advance security sweeps by the Secret Service at the DNC building did not include the outside area where a pipe bomb had been placed,” DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari writes in the report, which was shared with members of Congress on Thursday, according to the network.
- “[Harris], traveling in an armored vehicle with her motorcade, entered the DNC building via a ramp within 20 feet of the pipe bomb,” the report says. It claims that the device wasn’t found for an hour and 40 minutes after Harris’ arrival at the building, with the report further suggesting it then took the Secret Service 10 minutes to evacuate her, meaning she spent around 1 hour and 50 minutes in the headquarters.

Important Takeaways:
- Harris’ comments provided the clearest explanation yet of her views on the conflict as she works to balance the issue that has not only divided the country but caused friction within the Democratic Party.
- Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that committing to the deal in its current form would mean “surrendering” to Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar. A deal would “allow Hamas to rehabilitate… abandoning most of the hostages in Hamas captivity.” Smotrich wrote on X. “Do not fall into this trap!”
- The Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on X Friday, “The war won’t be ceased, Madame candidate.”
- Following Harris’ remarks, Israeli media have been quoting a “senior Israeli official” as saying that pressure from the US vice president to reach a ceasefire and hostages deal in Gaza is counter-productive and may put at risk efforts to reach an agreement
- The October 7 attacks killed 1,200 people in Israel and saw more than 250 others taken hostage.

Important Takeaways:
- Democratic rules mandate that the delegates Biden won remain bound to support him at the party’s upcoming national convention unless he tells them he’s leaving the race.
- The conventions and their rules are controlled by the political parties. The current rules read: “Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.”
- The vice president is Biden’s running mate, but that doesn’t mean she can swap in for him at the top of the ticket by default. Biden also can’t decree that she replace him should he suddenly decide to leave the race.
- If Biden opts to abandon his reelection campaign, Harris would likely join other top Democratic candidates looking to replace him.
- “The business of nominating someone to represent a political party is the business of the political party.”

Important Takeaways:
- The Biden administration is moving to expand background checks for gun purchases, fulfilling a key demand of advocates following the deadly shooting at a school in Uvalde, Texas.
- The final rule, expected to be submitted Thursday to the Federal Register by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, would eliminate a loophole that has allowed sales of guns without background checks of guns outside of brick-and-mortar stores.
- It requires that anyone who sells guns for profit to have a license and that buyers be subject to a background check, including at firearms shows and flea markets.
- The administration had been working on the rule since last spring. Once publicized, it will take effect in 30 days.
- The new rule, the most sweeping expansion of firearms background checks in decades, will apply to more than 20,000 individuals engaged in unlicensed gun dealing and affect “tens and tens of thousands of gun sales” each year
