Katherine Clark Arrested for Inciting a Violent Riot Against Pro-Life Marchers https://americanpoliticalreport.com/gender-confused-child-of-democrat-rep-katherine-clark-arrested-for-inciting-a-violent-riot-against-pro-life-marchers/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/gender-confused-child-of-democrat-rep-katherine-clark-arrested-for-inciting-a-violent-riot-against-pro-life-marchers/#respond Sat, 07 Dec 2024 12:42:18 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/gender-confused-child-of-democrat-rep-katherine-clark-arrested-for-inciting-a-violent-riot-against-pro-life-marchers/ (Natural News)—The gender-confused child of one of the most powerful Democrats in America has been arrested for inciting a violent riot against a peaceful pro-life marchers in Boston.

National Men’s March, a peaceful event founded by Catholic show host Jim Havens and retired Catholic priest Stephen Imbarrato, rallied against abortion and promote personhood in Boston outside Planned Parenthood on Nov. 16. (Related: Pro-life group’s HQ in Rome attacked by LGBT activists TWICE in 10 days.)

However, over 350 counter-protestors clad in colorful costumes and wigs from a group known as “Clown March” met the pro-life demonstrators who were dressed in suits and holding rosaries.

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA)’s child, who was born a woman but now identifies as “Jared” Dowell, was one of the hundreds of counter-protestors who incited a violent riot.

According to a Boston Police report, tensions flared as the two groups converged, with shouting, jeering and physical confrontations intensifying. The counter-protesters even blocked the path of the National Men’s March, which prompted officers to issue multiple orders to disperse.

“Superintendent Cahill ordered the large group several times to end their unlawful, riotous, tumultuous assembly,” the Boston Police Department’s report read. However, the report added that “the crowd refused all orders and continued their tumultuous behavior,” so officers moved to clear a path for the march.

“This unruly crowd collectively began pushing back at officers, elevating their disorderly and unlawful activity to assaultive,” the police report further reads. “This crowd created an extremely hazardous and offensive condition for officers and the individuals of the Men’s Rights Group who were attempting to pass by. After an exhaustive effort, officers were able to eventually gain enough control to allow the march to proceed through Kenmore Square and towards their destination.”

But despite all the attempts to de-escalate the situation without arrests, officers resorted to detaining individuals who “refused to peacefully disperse” and engaged in “assaultive behavior.

Dowell, along with 17 other counter-protestors, were arrested and arraigned on Dec. 2 on charges of interfering with lawful assembly and disorderly conduct.

Dowell previously involved in another violent protest

This is not the first time Dowell was involved in politically-motivated behavior that resulted in an arrest.

In January 2023, Dowell was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Dowell struck Boston Police Officer Daniel Roca in the face during an anti-police protest at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common. Dowell was arrested on the spot and charged with assault and battery on a police officer and vandalizing a monument.

At that time, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office – which handles cases in Boston – dismissed the case after Dowell completed 30 hours of community service, reimbursed the city for cleaning the graffiti Dowell helped spray at the monument during the protest, wrote an apology letter to the police officer struck and went to mandated individual therapy.

Dowell had also completed a community-based program and stayed away from the Boston Common for a year.

Rising Costs, Shrinking Consumer Spending and Changing Customer Habits Push More Restaurants Into Bankruptcy https://americanpoliticalreport.com/rising-costs-shrinking-consumer-spending-and-changing-customer-habits-push-more-restaurants-into-bankruptcy/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/rising-costs-shrinking-consumer-spending-and-changing-customer-habits-push-more-restaurants-into-bankruptcy/#respond Sat, 26 Oct 2024 05:39:44 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/rising-costs-shrinking-consumer-spending-and-changing-customer-habits-push-more-restaurants-into-bankruptcy/ (Natural News)—At least 10 major restaurant chains have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this year due to rising costs, shrinking consumer spending and the disappearance of pandemic-era financial support.

In August alone, three notable restaurant chains sought bankruptcy protections. Mediterranean fast-casual chain Roti filed on Aug. 23, citing challenges from high operating costs and decreasing foot traffic in downtown areas. Earlier that month, Buca di Beppo and World of Beer also turned to Chapter 11 to restructure their businesses amid rising labor costs and inflationary pressures.

In June, Rubio’s, a fast-casual chain known for its fish tacos, filed for bankruptcy protection, citing the burdens of higher labor costs and dwindling lunchtime crowds due to the popularity of hybrid and remote work patterns cutting into sales. Melt Bar & Grilled, a Cleveland-based grilled cheese chain, also sought Chapter 11 protection after its restaurant count shrank to just four locations. Kuma Holdings, the parent company of burger chain Kuma’s Corner, also filed for bankruptcy protection that same month.

In May, Red Lobster, once a seafood giant, also filed for bankruptcy protection, citing its struggles with high leasing costs, increased competition and poor strategic decisions, like its ill-fated “endless shrimp” promo for $20 that cost the company millions. (Related: BANKRUPTCY BOOM: U.S. saw 70 major bankruptcies in just 4 months, the third worst start of year since 2000.)

In April, Tijuana Flats, a fast-casual Tex-Mex chain, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At the time, the Tijuana Flats also announced new ownership under Flatheads LLC and the closure of 11 restaurants as part of its restructuring. Sticky’s Finger Joint, a chicken-tender chain, also declared bankruptcy that same month due to rising costs, lingering effects from the pandemic and legal issues from a trademark dispute with rival Sticky Fingers.

In February, Boxer Ramen, a Portland-based ramen chain, filed for bankruptcy and closed all four of its location by late April after more than a decade in business.

More restaurants and food chains are expected to follow before 2024 ends.

Bankruptcies nearly double in 2024 due to broader economic challenges

According to Jonathan Carson, co-CEO of bankruptcy services and technology firm Stretto, major restaurant companies have been filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to rising labor costs, inflation and shifting consumer behavior. He explained that although these numbers remain lower than the peak of the pandemic, when nearly three dozen major franchises went bankrupt, the current economic environment is still presenting a unique set of challenges.

“In this situation, a challenging economic environment, post-pandemic recovery issues, rising labor costs, changing consumer habits and inflation have caused more restaurants to struggle in 2024,” Carson said in an interview with Fox Business, noting those issues have also impacted other sectors of the economy.

Carson also stated that the shift in consumer spending is a growing concern. With more consumers burdened by student loan debt, mortgage debt and credit card debt, spending patterns have changed. “The numbers are staggering and rising, and high interest rates don’t help when it comes to the health of the consumer,” Carson said. “The consumer is in a rough spot.”

Industry experts expect this trend to continue, with more restaurant chains likely to file for bankruptcy as they navigate an increasingly volatile market.

Conventional Polls Show Trump and Harris Locked in Dead Heat as Election Day Nears… They Are Setting up a Steal https://americanpoliticalreport.com/conventional-polls-show-trump-and-harris-locked-in-dead-heat-as-election-day-nears-they-are-setting-up-a-steal/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/conventional-polls-show-trump-and-harris-locked-in-dead-heat-as-election-day-nears-they-are-setting-up-a-steal/#respond Sun, 20 Oct 2024 11:21:26 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/conventional-polls-show-trump-and-harris-locked-in-dead-heat-as-election-day-nears-they-are-setting-up-a-steal/ (Natural News)—National and key battleground state polls reveal that former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are still locked in a dead heat as Election Day nears.

The polls, conducted earlier this October among thousands of likely and registered voters, indicate that the high stakes and fierce competition between Trump and Harris is tighter than ever. National polls reveal that Trump is experiencing a resurgence in support, while key battleground state polls show that candidates narrowly lead each other in certain states. (Related: POLL: More voters trust Donald Trump over Kamala Harris on immigration policy and border security.)

For instance, an ABC News/Ipsos poll, conducted from Oct. 4 to 8, shows that Trump significantly closed the gap with Harris. The Democratic presidential candidate holds a narrow lead at 50 percent to Trump’s 48 percent among likely voters and 49 percent to 47 percent among all registered voters. Among all adults, excluding those who are unlikely to vote, the race has tightened with only a one-point difference between the two, well within the two-point margin of error.

These numbers mark a substantial gain for Trump since mid-September when a similar poll showed him trailing Harris by five points.

CBS/YouGov poll, conducted from Oct. 8 to 11, also shows a similar result, with Harris holding a 51 percent to 48 percent lead over Trump among likely voters. This slight edge is just outside the 2.3 percentage margin of error and represents a one-point drop for Harris since September.

Additionally, an NBC poll, conducted from Oct. 4 to 8 among registered voters, shows the candidates tied at 48 percent, with a one-point loss for Harris and a four-point gain for Trump over the past month.

Meanwhile, in key battleground states, polls show that candidates narrowly lead each other.

Wall Street Journal poll, conducted among voters in the seven key swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, reveals that Trump leads Harris by a razor-thin margin of 46 percent to 45 percent. Trump holds an advantage in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Nevada, while Harris has the upper hand in the remaining four states.

Trump and Harris have been locked in dead heat since September

That Trump and Harris are locked in dead heat has been evident in other polls conducted in September.

A Rasmussen poll, conducted among 1,893 likely voters, reveals that Trump narrowly led Harris at 47 percent to 46 percent, leaving three percent undecided and another three percent favoring third-party candidates. Both candidates have strong backing within their parties, with Trump supported by 87 percent of Republicans and Harris by 84 percent of Democrats. Among independents, Trump leads Harris by five points.

Demographically, Trump has an edge among White (51 percent) and Hispanic (52 percent) voters, while Harris is favored by Black voters (67 percent). The two are nearly tied among non-Black minority voters. Harris has substantial support from liberals (87 percent), while Trump holds 74 percent of conservative voters.

Economic factors also influence voter preferences, with higher earners (over $200,000 annually) leaning toward Harris, while Trump is more popular among lower-income voters with annual incomes of between $30,000 to $50,000.

Other polls show similarly close results, with Harris leading slightly in Pennsylvania in a New York Times, Sienna College and the Philadelphia Inquirer poll.

A poll jointly conducted by The Hill and Emerson College also shows Harris leading by a slim margin in Michigan (49 percent to 47 percent) and North Carolina (49 percent to 48 percent). In contrast, the poll shows Trump has a small advantage in Arizona (49 percent to 48 percent), Georgia (50 percent to 47 percent), Pennsylvania (48 percent to 47 percent) and Wisconsin (49 percent to 48 percent). The two candidates are tied in Nevada at 48 percent.

Number of Venezuelan Invaders Crossing the Darien Gap Surged by 80% In September https://americanpoliticalreport.com/number-of-venezuelan-invaders-crossing-the-darien-gap-surged-by-80-in-september/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/number-of-venezuelan-invaders-crossing-the-darien-gap-surged-by-80-in-september/#respond Sun, 20 Oct 2024 00:14:38 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/number-of-venezuelan-invaders-crossing-the-darien-gap-surged-by-80-in-september/ (Natural News)—Panama’s Ministry of Public Security has revealed that the number of Venezuelan migrants crossing the Darien Gap surged by 80 percent in September following the post-election crackdown in Venezuela and the suspension of humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

The Darien Gap, a perilous jungle corridor between Columbia and Panama, is the only land bridge connecting South and Central America. This makes it a critical point for migrants, predominantly those from Venezuela and other countries like Colombia, Ecuador and even China, seeking to reach the United States.

In 2023, the Public Security Ministry recorded around 520,085 total migrants crossing through the Darien Gap, with Venezuelans consisting more than 65 percent of the total. This year, 277,939 migrants crossed the Darien Gap as of Oct. 7, 36 percent fewer than the same period last year.

However, the data showed a significant spike in September, with 25,111 migrants crossing, marking a 51 percent increase from August. Venezuelans accounted for over 80 percent of last month’s crossings, with additional migrants from Columbia, Ecuador, China and dozens of other nations contributing to the increase.

Refugees International, a global humanitarian organization, attributed the spike to post-election crackdowns in Venezuela. The socialist regime, led by Nicolas Maduro, declared victory amid allegations of voter suppression and manipulation.

Maduro, who controls all Venezuelan institutions, faced limited opposition, with genuine opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez being forced to flee to Spain after Maduro issued an arrest warrant against him. This in turn led to violent crackdowns on protests, leading to at least 27 deaths and over 2,400 arrests.

“The crackdown in the wake of the July 28, 2024 elections in Venezuela has led to an increase in immigration,” the organization reported on Oct. 11, based on interviews with migrants at reception stations across Panama and Costa Rica.

Aside from that, Refugees International also blamed the suspension of MSF, an organization that provided humanitarian aid to migrants, due to the expiration of their agreement with Panama’s Ministry of Health.

Panama closes key entry points, starts repatriation program

Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino, who took office on July 1, vowed to address the migration issue by closing key entry points and establishing a repatriation program in collaboration with the United States. (Related: President-elect Jose Raul Mulino of Panama vows to SHUT DOWN the Darien Gap.)

“Panama and our Darien [Gap] are not a transit route. It is our border,” Mulino said in May after winning the presidential election. At the time, he reiterated his campaign promise to terminate “the Darien odyssey that does not have a reason to exist… Because when we start to deport people here in an immediate deportation plan, the interest for sneaking through Panama will decrease. I assure you they are going to say that going through Panama is not attractive because they are deporting you.”

Since then, Mulino took key actions, including installing barbed wire barriers along frequently used jungle paths, shutting down “VIP” routes commonly used by Chinese migrants and establishing an agreement to begin U.S.-funded deportation flights for inadmissible migrants.

Unfortunately, these measures do not currently include Venezuelans, as Panama has severed diplomatic ties with Venezuela following disputed elections.

Heels Up Harris’s Strategy to Win Male Voters Is to Push Consequence-Free Sex and Pornography https://americanpoliticalreport.com/heels-up-harriss-strategy-to-win-male-voters-is-to-push-consequence-free-sex-and-pornography/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/heels-up-harriss-strategy-to-win-male-voters-is-to-push-consequence-free-sex-and-pornography/#respond Fri, 18 Oct 2024 03:58:16 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/heels-up-harriss-strategy-to-win-male-voters-is-to-push-consequence-free-sex-and-pornography/ (Natural News)—The Harris-Walz ticket has been trying to win male voters by feeding them with abortion and pornography ads, and brainwashing them with the “new definition of masculinity.”

In an op-ed article written by Jonathon Van Maren for LifeSiteNews, he revealed how the Democratic ticket has been desperately trying to fix its problems with male voters as polls on key battleground states hit razor-thin margins.

The Harris-Walz campaign first presented Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff as a model of “new masculinity” as he advocated for abortion rights as essential for men’s family planning. “This is an issue of fairness to women. Women are dying,” Emhoff said in an exclusive interview with NBC News. “It’s affecting man’s ability to plan their lives. And it’s also an issue of what’s next, what other freedoms are at risk. And these freedoms are affecting all Americans, not just women.”

It is no wonder Emhoff supports abortion because his first marriage ended after he had an affair with a teacher at his children’s school in 2009, reports indicated. Emhoff allegedly impregnated the teacher but never gave birth. He acknowledged his past in a recent interview with Jen Psaki, former press secretary for President Joe Biden, but never mentioned the murdered baby.

Aside from this, the Harris-Walz campaign also enlisted celebrities like Jennifer Garner, an actress and ex-wife of Ben Affleck, to promote the idea that men who support Harris are “sexy.” They also released an ad, created by a former writer for “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” featuring stereotypical masculine figures endorsing Harris and abortion rights. The ad implies that “real men support Harris,” but several male actors in the ad are actually gay.

And now, in their latest move, the Harris-Walz campaign has teamed up with the “Hands Off My Porn” campaign. The porn industry had already spent $100,000 on ads targeting young men on pornography websites to vote for Harris to protect their access to adult websites.

Van Maren: Harris-Walz campaign faces criticism and mockery for launching awful ads

The Harris-Walz campaign is facing backlash and mockery for launching such awful ads.

“All Harris has to offer men when it comes down to it, is the agenda of the sexual revolution,” Van Maren wrote in his article. “‘Vote for me, because the women you love may need to have their babies suctioned out of them by Planned Parenthood. Vote for me, because your sex life depends on it. Vote for me, because our revolution depends on it.’ That’s all her ad offers, when you cut through the weird theater kid version of Country Guy Sits On Truck Tailgate stuff.”

Van Maren concluded: “What is the Harris-Walz ticket-selling young men? Abortion, pornography, and an assurance that masculinity means sex with whoever you want, whenever you want, however you want – with the government there to ensure that the consequences are taken care of. It’s a bold play. The gloves are off. So are the masks.”

McDonald’s Will Likely Revamp Value Meal as Kamalanomics Continues to Strain the Wallets of Lower-Income Customers https://americanpoliticalreport.com/mcdonalds-will-likely-revamp-value-meal-as-kamalanomics-continues-to-strain-the-wallets-of-lower-income-customers/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/mcdonalds-will-likely-revamp-value-meal-as-kamalanomics-continues-to-strain-the-wallets-of-lower-income-customers/#respond Wed, 16 Oct 2024 13:25:32 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/mcdonalds-will-likely-revamp-value-meal-as-kamalanomics-continues-to-strain-the-wallets-of-lower-income-customers/ (Natural News)—McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski has announced that the fast food giant will likely “revamp” its value meal as President Joe Biden’s economic program, also known as “Bidenomics,” continues to strain the wallets of lower-income customers.

In July, McDonald’s reported a decline in same-store sales for the first time in nearly four years, a drop attributed to tightened consumer spending following prolonged periods of high inflation. In response, the fast-food giant introduced a $5 summer deal in June, designed to offer an affordable option for customers struggling amid inflation and high interest rates.

The limited-time meal deal, which includes a choice of a McDouble, McChicken sandwich or a 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, along with a small fry and soft drink, has been well-received by customers. And now that customers continue to grapple with economic strain, McDonald’s extended the offering until December. (Related: Bidenomics: Big Mac extra value meal now costs $10 more than it did during Trump’s era.)

“We’re committed to keeping our prices as affordable as possible,” Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said in September.

McDonald’s is also releasing app-exclusive promotions, including a fried chicken sandwich for $2. Kempczinski is also looking at ways to do a complete “reset” or overhaul of its value offerings, noting that the number of $1, $2 and $3 menu offerings has shrunk in recent years amid rising food and operating costs.

In line with this, Kempczinski also noted that chicken, a food way cheaper than beef, could play a key role in offering more affordable meal options.

“It’s easier to deliver value on chicken products than it is on beef products,” he explained, adding that beef prices are currently more than twice those of chicken on a per-pound basis.

“We’re starting to talk about 2025, and my message to our teams has been: ‘We need to be preparing for another challenging year,'” Kempczinski said. “We need to be making sure that we’ve got a really strong value proposition in all of our markets.”

Harris will continue Bidenomics despite its negative consequences if elected president

In an article for  Zero Hedge, Tyler Durden wrote that economic conditions for low-income consumers are expected to worsen through the end of the year, particularly due to potential increases in energy prices.

“Economic conditions for the working poor will only get more challenging through the end of the year. MCD reports third-quarter earnings on Oct. 29. The lingering problem for consumers is an energy price shock at the pump could materialize if Israel begins bombing Iran’s crude oil export facilities. Consumers need to buckle up,” Durden wrote.

Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) noted that “Harris would not have changed a damn thing” from the policies of the Biden administration.

“If you think four more years of Harris won’t mean the same high gas prices, inflation, open borders and crime, I’ve got oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell you! Kamala Harris admitted she wouldn’t change a thing from Biden’s disastrous policies,” Weber posted on X, along with a clip of Harris’ guesting on ABC’s “The View” on Oct. 8.

In other words, there will be no respite for these economic strains if Harris wins in November.

Trump Vows to Implement New Tax Incentives That Would Boost U.S. Auto-Manufacturing Industry https://americanpoliticalreport.com/trump-vows-to-implement-new-tax-incentives-that-would-boost-u-s-auto-manufacturing-industry/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/trump-vows-to-implement-new-tax-incentives-that-would-boost-u-s-auto-manufacturing-industry/#respond Mon, 14 Oct 2024 05:25:17 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/trump-vows-to-implement-new-tax-incentives-that-would-boost-u-s-auto-manufacturing-industry/ (Natural News)—Former President Donald Trump has promised a series of new tax incentives that would boost the U.S. auto-manufacturing industry if re-elected in November.

In the gathering of about 500 business leaders at the Detroit Economic Club on Oct. 10, Trump proposed the expansion of research and development credits, increased equipment costs for small businesses and consumer tax deductions on car loan interest to appeal to Michigan voters.

The package of incentives also includes a 100 percent tax write-off for heavy equipment in the first year and full expensing for new manufacturing investments. He also proposed doubling the equipment deduction limit for small businesses from $500,000 to $1 million. Additionally, consumers could deduct car loan interest, similar to deductions on home loan interest.

“This will stimulate massive domestic auto production and make car ownership dramatically more affordable for millions and millions of working American families,” he said, noting that many people in the audience work in the auto industry. (Related: Michigan auto workers blame Biden-Harris EV mandates for industry job cuts.)

Trump also reiterated his commitment to revisiting the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and promised to address perceived imbalances, particularly the growing trade deficits with Mexico and China upon taking office. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Mexico increased by 23.7 percent ($130.5 billion) in 2022, while the deficit with China rose by 8.3 percent ($382.3 billion) during the same period. The USMCA, signed into law in 2020, replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The former president presented his proposals as a “detailed plan to save the American auto industry.” In turn, he guaranteed voters that his policies would reverse job losses, claiming: “You vote for Trump, and you will see a mass exodus of manufacturing jobs, but from Mexico to Michigan, from Shanghai to Sterling Heights.”

Trump also promises tax cuts to U.S.-based manufacturers and tariff hikes to foreign investors

On Oct. 3, Trump made similar claims about the U.S. auto-manufacturing industry, announcing his plans to encourage manufacturers to produce goods in the United States by lowering corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 15 percent for U.S.-based manufacturers and proposing a 100 percent tariff on imported automobiles. Trump also pledged to cut gasoline prices by 50 percent within one year of taking office by boosting domestic oil production and doubling electricity production, which he believes will further attract manufacturers.

Moreover, Trump pledged to enhance protections for industries essential to national interests, such as steel and automotive sectors by implementing higher tariffs, a measure that Harris has consistently criticized as a tax on the American public.

“I want tariffs, but there has to be reciprocity,” Trump said, meaning an equal trade footing between the United States and other countries. “Without that tariff, every single one of the Detroit Big Three could right now be out of business.”

When asked about Chinese automakers locating plants in Mexico in an attempt to sell electric vehicles in the U.S., Trump said: “I will impose whatever tariffs are required … 100 percent, 200 percent, whatever is necessary.”

Surveys Find Korean Americans Are Now Turning Away From Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party https://americanpoliticalreport.com/surveys-find-korean-americans-are-now-turning-away-from-kamala-harris-and-the-democratic-party/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/surveys-find-korean-americans-are-now-turning-away-from-kamala-harris-and-the-democratic-party/#respond Fri, 11 Oct 2024 13:16:02 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/surveys-find-korean-americans-are-now-turning-away-from-kamala-harris-and-the-democratic-party/ (Natural News)—Recent surveys have indicated that Korean Americans are now turning away from Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party due to inflation and economic issues.

One survey, known as the 2024 Asian American Voter Survey, included 409 registered Korean American voters. The poll found that only 38 percent of respondents identified themselves being Democrats. This marks a substantial decrease from the same survey conducted in 2020, which found that 51 percent of this demographic identified with the Democratic Party. (Related: Poll finds Democrats’ advantage among Hispanic voters continues to SHRINK.)

This shift highlights a growing sentiment among Korean Americans that inflation and economic issues are paramount to historical loyalties to the Democrats.

In fact, 57 percent of respondents labeled jobs and the economy as “extremely important” in casting their vote, with another 33 percent describing these issues as “very important” and nine percent as “somewhat important.” Meanwhile, 58 percent consider inflation as a major concern, with 32 percent describing it as a “very important” issue and eight percent as “somewhat important.”

Housing costs also weigh heavily, with 51 percent deeming the issue “extremely important” to their voting decision, with 35 percent labeling it as “very important,” 10 percent as “somewhat important” and three percent as “not that important.”

These results support the claims of Catherine Kim, an assistant editor at POLITICO Magazine, that “the economy has always been a top priority for Korean Americans,” especially in Gwinnett County, a suburb where inflation severely impacted the Korean American community. This community, according to Kim, poorly evaluated the performance of the current administration.

Support for Trump increasing among Korean Americans

The surveys also reveal increasing support for former President Donald Trump as Korean Americans turn away from the Democratic Party.

One survey conducted from April to May found that only 27 percent of Korean Americans support Trump. However, another survey conducted in early September found that 35 percent of Korean Americans are now supporting Trump due to their belief that he is more capable of dealing with inflation and other economic issues.

Lee Sung Yong, a traditional KBBQ and noodle restaurant owner in Georgia, pointed to the rising costs as a critical factor influencing his vote.

“The price of ingredients has just risen so much — almost 80 percent for certain items,” Lee said in an interview with Kim, confirming he will vote for Trump.

“The yearly costs of my operation have been so different under the two administrations. Eating out has become such a financial burden these days,” he said. “That first and foremost needs to be fixed for us to survive.”

For Lee, a return of the Trump administration represents a potential return to better times for his restaurant.

“I was disappointed with the economy under Biden,” he said. He admitted that the economic policies of Harris as a presidential candidate remains unclear to him, so he is worried that these might as well just continue to exacerbate rising prices and higher taxes. “I don’t know Harris’ economic policies, but won’t the same pattern of rising prices and higher taxes repeat under her, since she was the vice president?”

Trump’s Support From Union and Working-Class Voters Is the HIGHEST for a Republican Presidential Candidate in Four Decades https://americanpoliticalreport.com/trumps-support-from-union-and-working-class-voters-is-the-highest-for-a-republican-presidential-candidate-in-four-decades/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/trumps-support-from-union-and-working-class-voters-is-the-highest-for-a-republican-presidential-candidate-in-four-decades/#respond Tue, 08 Oct 2024 15:35:51 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/trumps-support-from-union-and-working-class-voters-is-the-highest-for-a-republican-presidential-candidate-in-four-decades/ (Natural News)—A recent poll has revealed that former President Donald Trump’s support among working-class Americans and citizens who are part of labor unions is the highest among any Republican presidential candidate in four decades.

According to Harry Enten, a political analyst and host of CNN’s “Margin of Error” podcast, Trump is on track to achieve the best Republican performance among union families, trade school graduates and minority voters without college degrees in 40 years.

Enten stressed the growing appeal of Trump to these traditionally Democratic groups, as Vice President Kamala Harris struggles to maintain a strong lead.

The poll suggests that Harris leads Trump by just nine points among union workers, a sharp decline from previous Democratic performances. For instance, Bill Clinton carried union households by 30 points in 1992 and President Joe Biden won them by 19 points in 2020. Harris’ current margin is much closer to the slim 12-point lead of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Meanwhile, Trump has been gaining tremendous grounds among trade school graduates compared to his predecessors in the GOP. In 1992, Bill Clinton won this group by seven points. Today, Trump leads Harris by a staggering 31 points, a 38-point swing toward the Republican Party.

“More so perhaps than any other bloc, the folks who go to trade school, vocational school, that has moved from being a core Democratic group to now being a core group of Donald Trump’s massive amount of support among the working class,” Enten said.

The trend extends to working-class minority voters. While Harris still holds a 28-point lead among racial and ethnic minorities without college degrees, this is a significant drop from the 45-point margin Biden enjoyed in 2020.

“This is part of a larger trend that we’re seeing throughout our politics in which Republicans, specifically Donald Trump, is doing very, very well among working-class voters,” Enten said. “The fact is, Donald Trump seems to have gone into a hotbed of traditional Democratic support and made a lot of movement in ways I don’t think a lot of people would have thought when he went down that escalator just back in 2015.”

Teamsters not endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time in two decades

Harris’ struggle to maintain a strong lead among working-class and union voters was made even more evident when the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest unions in the United States with over 1.3 million members, refused to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in over two decades.

The decision came shortly after the union released results from a national poll of its members, which showed 59.6 percent favoring Trump, compared to just 34 percent who supported Harris.

“President Joe Biden won the support of Teamsters voting in straw polls at local unions between April-July prior to his exit from the race,” the union said in September. “But in independent electronic and phone polling from July-September, a majority of voting members twice selected Trump for a possible Teamsters endorsement over Harris. The union’s extensive member polling showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support among the membership for President Trump.”

“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said in September. “We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries – and to honor our members’ right to strike – but were unable to secure those pledges.”

Watch this clip from Fox News discussing how “humiliating” it is for the Democratic Party that the Teamsters won’t endorse Harris.

Over 1,300 Asylum Seekers in the U.K. Are Pretending to Be Unaccompanied Minors to Exploit British Migration Law https://americanpoliticalreport.com/over-1300-asylum-seekers-in-the-u-k-are-pretending-to-be-unaccompanied-minors-to-exploit-british-migration-law/ https://americanpoliticalreport.com/over-1300-asylum-seekers-in-the-u-k-are-pretending-to-be-unaccompanied-minors-to-exploit-british-migration-law/#respond Sun, 06 Oct 2024 13:59:38 +0000 https://americanpoliticalreport.com/over-1300-asylum-seekers-in-the-u-k-are-pretending-to-be-unaccompanied-minors-to-exploit-british-migration-law/ (Natural News)—Immigration authorities in the United Kingdom have discovered that the number of adult migrants falsely claiming to be minors has reached a record high as more and more illegal immigrants attempt to exploit the additional protections afforded to unaccompanied minors who enter Britain.

According to the official figures, for the first half of 2024 alone, 1,317 migrants who arrived at the U.K. border disguised themselves as children. This eclipses the combined totals for similar cases from 2017, 2018 and 2019. (Related: Hungary pushes through with plan to bus illegal immigrants to Brussels.)

Among the asylum seekers found falsely claiming their age, 283 came from Afghanistan, 282 from Sudan, 236 from Vietnam and 140 from Eritrea. As unaccompanied minors are far less likely to be deported, age-dispute cases have surged, with 2,122 age-related challenges launched this year alone.

Officials believe human traffickers are encouraging adult men, often without proper documentation, to claim they are underage to increase their chances of receiving asylum, better housing, leniency in legal proceedings and avoiding deportation.

Labour Party Member of Parliament Dame Angela Eagle, serving as Minister of State for Border Security and Asylum, confirmed in a statement that 20 percent of new arrivals in the U.K. falsely claim to be underage to “get a better deal.”

“There is an issue about identifying correctly those who are children,” she said in a Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Sept. 30. “About 20 percent of the people that come across in boats at the moment are claiming they’re children. Not all of them are. And so clearly the signal has gone out that if you claim you’re a child, then you’re going to get a better deal. There are safeguarding issues one way or the other, if you let adults in the children’s system, or children in the adults system, that we’ve got to try to sort out.”

Afghan murderer claimed to be 14-year-old orphan to enter U.K.

The inability of immigration officials to detect these deceptions has led to deadly consequences. One such case involves Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai, a 22-year-old Afghan national who had already committed two murders in Serbia before arriving in the United Kingdom.

Abdulrahimzai entered Britain in December 2019 by falsely claiming to be a 14-year-old orphan. He was placed in foster care and school in Bournemouth, Dorset, where he proceeded to harass young girls into sending him explicit images of themselves.

Abdulrahimzai was later convicted of fatally stabbing 21-year-old aspiring Royal Marine Thomas Roberts during an altercation outside a restaurant in Bournemouth in 2022.

Other high-profile examples include Parsons Green bomber Ahmed Hassan, who posed as a 16-year-old before detonating a bomb on a London Tube train in 2017, which injured 23 people. His true age remains uncertain, but the judge concluded that he was likely between 18 to 21 years old at the time of the attack.

In another notable incident, Iranian asylum seeker Siavash Shah was found attending a Year 11 class at Stock High School in Ipswich despite being significantly older than other people in his class. A student exposed Shah’s age by sharing a photo of him online with the caption: “How’s there a 30-year-old man in our maths class?”

In 2010, Iraqi asylum seeker Rabar Hamad attended secondary school and studied for his General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) despite being 20 years old, four years older than his stated age.
