Harris Supporters Were Asked to House Illegal Immigrants. Here's How They Responded.

Madeline Leesman ; Townhall

"Democrats are champions for so-called “sanctuary cities,” which allow illegal aliens to live in the United States and reap some of the benefits here. 

"While many Democrats claim that “no human is illegal,” when asked if they’d be open to housing illegals in their homes, many Democrats said no without hesitation. 

"In one case, two men pretending to be Harris campaign workers arrived at the homes of Democrat voters with illegal aliens in tow. When the voters were asked if they’d house the illegal immigrants, they all said no. 

 People pretending to be Kamala campaign workers went door-to-door, attempting to place illegal migrants in the homes of Democrats.

" According to several reports, in the town of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, residents with Harris signs in their yards claim that they’ve received postcards stating that they will be hosting illegal immigrant families.

"NBC10 Boston interviewed a woman who received the postcard, who claimed that she was “creeped out.” She refused to show her face on camera.

"The postcard said that a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her house. 

" "That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset," the woman explained. "It's really sad that the country has come to this point where you can't put a lawn sign out and support a candidate without being harassed with something like this." . . .

Unrealized gains or losses: What they are and how they work  "Unrealized gains and losses are potential gains and losses from an investment that has not yet been sold. While selling investments can have tax consequences, that may not be true while you still hold on to it. That’s why they are “unrealized.”

"Selling investments can significantly impact your taxes, so it’s crucial to understand the potential implications. You should also understand the difference between realized and unrealized gains or losses. We’ll cover these differences and what they mean for you as an investor.

What is an unrealized gain/loss?

"An unrealized gain or loss is the change in value of a stock, bond or other asset you have purchased but not yet sold. The gain or loss is “unrealized” or “on paper,” as some refer to it, because you are still holding the investment. The gain or loss is only determined or “realized” when you sell the asset.

"One reason we discuss unrealized gains and losses is the potential tax implications once the investment is sold. We will discuss taxes at greater length in another section, but generally, realized gains result in a capital gains tax, while realized losses allow investors to offset their taxes.

How unrealized capital gains and losses work

"Investment values constantly fluctuate, regardless of the investment type. Whether the investment has increased or decreased will determine if you have unrealized gains or unrealized losses. You will have unrealized gains if the asset’s value has increased since you purchased it. Conversely, if the asset’s value has decreased, they have an unrealized loss." . . .

What Harris' plan to tax unrealized gains means for the wealthy . . ."Biden has called for a billionaire minimum tax in his 2025, 2024 and 2023 fiscal year budgets, and Senate Democrats pushed for a similar levy in October 2021. But the proposals have failed to gain traction.

“ 'There’s very little political support for this,” said Steve Rosenthal, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

"The Harris campaign did not provide a comment to CNBC.

"There’s also been pushback from the business community. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban on Thursday told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he doesn’t think Harris would tax unrealized gains.

“ 'Every conversation I’ve had is that it’s not going to happen,” he said.

“ 'If you tax unrealized gains, you’re going to kill the stock market,” he added." . . .

What the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings reveal about Kamala Harris

What the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings reveal about Kamala Harris 

. . ."Critics at the time, however, said Harris’s treatment of Kavanaugh was an obvious and out-of-line attempt to raise her political profile. And now that Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for vice president, Trump has repeatedly attacked her approach to the Kavanaugh hearings.

“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh — Judge Kavanaugh then, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday during a briefing at the White House, not long after Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, announced Harris as his running mate. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was,” Trump said.

"In an interview Thursday with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Trump called Harris a “mad woman.” . . .

When Kamala Harris was 'extraordinarily nasty' to Brett Kavanaugh   

“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh, Judge Kavanaugh, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump said during a Tuesday briefing. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now-Justice Kavanaugh. And I won’t forget that soon." 

"Harris, a former prosecutor, expanded her profile back in 2018 with her grilling of Kavanaugh, who was left with a loss of words when Harris referred to abortion regulations."

 Kamala Harris’ Unserious, Demagogic Questioning of Judicial Nominees | National Review   "Kamala Harris did not serve a full term in the Senate before becoming her party’s nominee for vice president. Elected in 2016, she was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 2018 after Al Franken’s resignation and Doug Jones’ special election victory. That short window was enough for her to display her true colors as a radical ideologue and a demagogue, rather than a serious member of the upper chamber.

"Mere seconds into the start of Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings in 2018, Harris interrupted the chairman, Chuck Grassley, ultimately launching a torrent of interruptions, not only by screeching protestors, but also by Democratic senators. When committee members were finally able to ask their questions, Harris began her turn with a set of bizarre “gotcha” questions as to whether Kavanaugh had ever discussed Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign with anyone from the law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres, which she hardly let him answer. It was a transparent effort to set a perjury trap for the nominee, executed ineptly enough to leave both viewers and the nominee perplexed as to precisely what she was talking about.

"Predictably, she later fanned the flames of the defamatory allegations of sexual abuse made against Kavanaugh without corroboration, tweeting that the allegations were “credible,” then pushing the nominee during his hearings to ask the White House to authorize an FBI investigation. And a year later, she shamelessly doubled down and called for Kavanaugh to be impeached.". . .

Kamala Makes Women’s Lives More Dangerous   "Champion of women’s rights uber feminist Kamala Harris has put women’s very lives in danger. As Czarina of the Open Border, she is directly to blame for the body count of American women mounting up across our nation since she and Biden canceled Trump’s previous illegal immigration safeguards and opened the floodgates to over 13,000 illegal migrant convicted murderers and 15,811 illegal migrant convicted rapists now roaming our streets. 

""Her empathy for illegal criminals instead of Americans has cost many American women and young girls their lives. We don’t know how many because the FBI doesn’t tell us. We do know the names of some of the beautiful, dynamic young women (allegedly) raped and killed by illegals. We know about Laken Riley, the young nursing student (allegedly) brutally murdered by a Venezuelan illegal. We know about Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was accosted on her run, (allegedly) raped and murdered by an El Salvadoran illegal. We know about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was (allegedly) raped for hours by two Venezuelan immigrants and then strangled to death and left in a Texas ditch. Both of her (alleged) murderers had been apprehended by Border Control and released with a notice to appear in court later. Catch and release, then kill American women; these are the open border rules of Border Czarina Kamala." . . .

Trump Just Earned a Major Endorsement on Election Eve

. . ."Thanks to Elon Musk for putting in the final argument and thanks to Joe Rogan for making the endorsement and the case for Trump. That's also likely to help others who might be on the fence about the question since he has the most popular podcast on the planet with millions of viewers. His interview with Trump had over 45 million views the last time I checked. 

"It's fascinating to have two folks like Musk and Rogan, both of whom one might have considered liberal on some issues, move in this direction for the greater purpose of common sense and sanity. Because they're seeing the patent dangers out there and they don't want them for the country. 

"Rogan also saw the games that Kamala Harris was trying to play with even a simple thing such as an interview with him. Then when he stuck to his guns not to be manipulated to give her what she wanted, she wouldn't go on his show. That was a choice and it said a lot about her." . . . 

Pittsburgh’s Jewish Democrats consider voting for Trump after Harris campaign cozies up to anti-Israel politicians in Pennsylvania

Some Jewish voters in swing states reconsider their devotion to Democrats | AP News    "For Rona Kaufman, the signs are everywhere that more Jews feel abandoned by the Democratic Party and may vote for Republican Donald Trump.

" It’s in her Facebook feed. It’s in the discomfort she observed during a question-and-answer at a recent Democratic Party campaign event in Pittsburgh. It’s in her own family.

“The family that is my generation and older generations, I don’t think anybody is voting for Harris, and we’ve never voted Republican, ever,” Kaufman, 49, said, referring to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. “My sister has a Trump sign outside her house, and that is a huge shift.”

"How big a shift? Surveys continue to find that most Jewish voters still support the Democratic ticket, and Kaufman acknowledges that she’s an exception.

"Still, any shift could have enormous implications in Pennsylvania, where tens of thousands of votes decided the past two presidential elections. Many Jewish voters say the 2024 presidential election is like no other in memory, coming amid the growing fallout from Hamas’ brutal attack on Israelis last year.

"Jews represent a sliver of the voting-age population in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, the so-called blue wall of states that Democrats have come to rely on in recent presidential elections. In a close election, they are a big enough constituency that the campaigns of Harris and Trump see the potential for any slippage to swing a close contest."

Harris Is Ending Her Campaign With Lies and Smears

Called by those who know Kamala as a "mean girl" , she hopes to do to Trump what she did to Judge Kavanaugh. TD

Victor Davis Hanson 

So, in final desperation, Harris is smearing Trump as a fascist, even though, ironically, he has been the target of fascist machinations from her own party and supporters for nearly a decade. 

Broc 

 "In the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing former President Donald Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.

"Yet in the modern era, it was not Trump who put large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens into “relocation camps,” but liberal Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent Japanese-American citizens and residents into them.

"If Harris refers to Trump’s supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence.

"Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.

"Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.

"Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier." . . .

Biden's hatred for Donald Trump seems beyond control

‘Kind of guy you'd like to smack in the ass’: Joe Biden unleashes on Donald Trump

Democrats hate Donald Trump more than they love America. TD

How hate for Trump may have triumphed over love for Biden — and Trump | CBC News

"When U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ended her 2016 campaign at a rally in North Carolina, she recited a mantra the party believed would prove successful in defeating Donald Trump: "Love trumps hate."

"Yet that slogan, in reverse, may have been a significant key to Trump's defeat in 2020. For it seems that a number of voters supporting Joe Biden may have been motivated more by their loathing for the current Republican president than their passion for the Democratic candidate.

"And while polls consistently showed voters for Donald Trump were more enthusiastic about their candidate than Biden voters were for theirs, in the end, opposition to Trump and his presidency may have been just too strong a force to overcome.

"Or as Jason Whitlock, a sports writer, TV personality and radio host, recently said on Fox News, Trump supporters "love Donald Trump. Biden supporters hate Donald Trump."

The Biden-Harris Secret Hostage Deal With China

 Frontpage  The hostage taking and the hostage deals never end.

"Hostage deals are tempting especially when family members mount pressure campaigns, but they ensure that more hostages will be taken. After disastrous hostage deals with Iran and Russia, the Biden-Harris administration appears to have gone for a trifecta with a hostage deal with Communist China.

"The Biden administration brokered the release last month of David Lin, a U.S. citizen jailed in China for 16 years, by trading him for an unidentified Chinese citizen in U.S. custody, according to three people familiar with the deal.

The State Department hasn’t publicly disclosed that it exchanged Lin for a Chinese national and declined to answer questions about how it negotiated his freedom after his Sept. 15 release. That’s a marked difference from the very public prisoner exchanges that the U.S. has brokered with Russia in recent years.

"Lin was an economic adviser and then a missionary arrested by the CCP seemingly over his religious activities. He’s been in prison for a long time so it’s a sympathetic case, but it appears likely that we traded a spy for a hostage.

"The fact that no one will name the ‘Chinese national’ we released suggests that this individual was high value and that national security has once again been compromised.

"Hostage deals are never ‘one and done’. Doing hostage deals with China, Russia and Iran in particular is a disastrous policy because there are plenty of U.S. citizens traveling back and forth to these totalitarian dictatorships and so anytime their regimes want to free one of their spies, criminals or terrorists, all they have to do is take an American hostage." . . .

Sanger Would Be Very Proud Of Kamala Harris: Slaughtering Black Babies

 American Free News Network  "Margaret Sanger was the “mother” who gave “birth” to the abortion industry that is slaughtering full term babies today,"

"Kamala Harris’s major campaign issue is abortion, any time, anywhere, mostly paid by taxpayers, regardless the gestational age of the fetus, regardless the viability of the new human being. She is the first presidential candidate from a major party to visit an abortion clinic. No presidential candidate has been as thirsty for baby blood as Harris. Trump was the first president, ever, to speak at a Pro Life rally.

"Margaret Sanger (1879-1966), the leading voice of the abortion movement in America, indeed it could be said that she was the “mother” who gave “birth” to the abortion industry that is slaughtering full term babies today, wanted to “exterminate” the Negro race. She founded Planned Parenthood for that very purpose. Don’t take my word for it, she wrote down her plans:

"1922: “Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”

"1926: “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.”

"1933: “Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need. We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock.”

"1939: “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” . . .

Israeli Commando Raid Captures Hezbollah Naval Commander

 Legal Insurrection  

Israeli naval commandos captured Imad Amhaz - a senior member of Hezbollah's naval force (and Captain Obvious lookalike). Amhaz will provide Israel with a wealth of information about Hezbollah's naval operations.

"In a daring raid, Israeli special forces on Friday morning allegedly captured a senior Hezbollah terror commander from a remote coastal town in northern Lebanon.

"The terrorist, identified by Lebanese media as Imad Amhaz, chief of Hezbollah’s naval operations, was picked by Israeli commandos from the town of Batroun, some 100 miles into the terrorist-held hostile territory.

“ 'Israeli naval commandos have seized a trainee mariner a military official described as a “senior operative” of Hezbollah in a raid in Lebanon and brought him to Israel for questioning,” the France24 TV channel reported Saturday. “It identified the person seized as Imad Amhaz.”

"An unverified CCTV footage posted on X shows a team of commandos whisking away a blindfolded man. They are seen walking in a tactical formation equipped with rifles and night vision glasses." . . .

How to Become a Background Actor

 Backstage

What is a background actor? "A background actor, or extra, is a nonspeaking role; extras appear frequently in the background of television or film productions, intended to round out the scene for realism’s sake. They could be spectators at a baseball game, audience members at a comedy club, or just people strolling through Central Park—these are all common background roles.

"Is there a difference between “background” actor and an “extra”?

"There is not! You may hear “background” used instead of “extra” because, frankly, it sounds a little more sophisticated. But a background actor is the exact same thing as an extra.

"What is a featured extra? "A featured extra is a background actor who gets a little more screen time. Maybe they pour the lead a latte, deliver a newspaper to their doorstep, or catch a fly ball—meaning that it’s more likely for a featured extra to be recognizable in the final episode or film. "Featured extra" is not an official SAG-AFTRA designation, however, and doesn’t translate into additional pay. 

"Another thing to remember: featured extras still don’t speak on camera. If they have even a one-word line, they’re now considered a “co-star.” Co-stars have five lines or less; generally, they’ll only be required for one day of shooting, though that’s subject to change. Unlike extra work, you absolutely can put co-starring gigs on your acting résumé when trying to land speaking roles. Also unlike extra work, almost without exception, productions will require co-stars to be members of SAG-AFTRA.

"How to be an extra in a movie or TV show

"Becoming an extra is much simpler than becoming an actor: you need a recent headshot, and that alone will enable you to apply for gigs, though an acting résumé with any background work you've done can help you land a part. “What we’re looking for in a submission is a picture that represents yourself,” says Grant Wilfley of Grant Wilfley Casting, which handles most background acting work in New York.

“We’re not interested in retouched professional headshots if they are not an accurate representation of what you look like,” Wilfley continues. You can even use a photo you took yourself, provided it shows that you took your submission seriously. Don’t use “an out-of-focus shot of yourself where you can only see half of your face. That’s not super helpful. It may show your quirky personality, but it’s not showing what you look like, and that’s really the most important thing.” . . .

. . ."For instance, an extra will be paid more if:

They are required to get wet (unless provided with swimming or surfing gear) or work in a smoke-filled environment

They personally provided certain props, such as pets or golf clubs

Body makeup or oil is applied to more than half their body 

They use special skills such as tennis, ice skating, horseback riding, or driving a motorcycle
