Campaign Idiots - Cuddle Time Limit - Gun Ban Failure

Harris campaign team 'exhausted' by being called 'band of idiots,' says former Obama adviser

Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina said on MSNBC Sunday that the Kamala Harris campaign team is being forced to make tough decisions in advance of the election.

"[I]n politics you have three things: you have time, you have money, and you have volunteers," Messina said. "And the one thing of those three you can’t go get more of is time. So there’s really difficult decisions being made in Wilmington right now about what you do with her time, what you do with the surrogates' time."

More migrants are crossing the northern border into the U.S. as Mexicans fly to Canada and then head south

The number of migrants crossing the border from Canada into the U.S. is rising — in one sector by more than 700% — as more Mexicans desperate to get into the U.S. fly to Canada and attempt to cross in frigid temperatures.

One family recently stopped by Border Patrol in Vermont was carrying an 8-month-old baby in -4 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. A picture of the family shared by Customs and Border Protection on Facebook showed a man and woman carrying the baby and a 2-year-old in their arms through snow and ice in the dark of night.

'Out of Touch': Toronto Police Union Exposes Trudeau’s Bluff on Handgun Ban

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was left red-faced again after the Toronto Police Association, Canada’s largest municipal police labour union, exposed his bluff on the handgun ban. For the unversed, Trudeau, on X (formerly Twitter) had falsely celebrated his government's efforts against government-licensed handgun users.

“Two years ago today, we froze the handgun market and stopped handguns from being bought, sold, or transferred anywhere in Canada. We choose your safety over the gun lobby — every time", Trudeau wrote on X.

Dismissing his claims, the Toronto Police Association, said, “Criminals did not get your message. Our communities are experiencing a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% increase in gun-related homicides compared to this time last year. What difference does your handgun ban make when 85% of guns seized by our members can be sourced to the United States?”
