Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday warned the Trump campaign against critizing Latinos or being "overly masculine." The big picture: Haley said on Fox News that Trump rally Tony Hinchcliffe's likening of Puerto Rico to "a floating island of garbage" was "harmful" to the campaign. But they also need to look at how they're talking about women," Haley said. "This bromance and this masculinity stuff ... it borders on edgy, to the point that it's going to make women uncomfortable." www.axios.com/2024/10/30/nikki-haley-trump-masculinity-women-latinos-puerto-rico |

Trump’s immigration policies made America less safe. Here’s the data. But new data reveal that Trump was the one whose immigration policies damaged the country’s security. In fact, he released more convicted criminals into the United States than his successor. This is not to lend credence to Trump’s efforts to demonize immigrants as dangerous or violent. Data from the Census Bureau shows that immigrants — both legal and illegal — are at least half as likely as citizens to be incarcerated for crimes committed in the United States. (This is why deporting everyone living here illegally would increase crime rates.) But when it comes to the small percentage of noncitizens who do commit crimes, Trump did not prioritize removing them during his term in office. In fact, he explicitly deprioritized them. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/30/trump-immigration-criminals-border-security/ |

Blame Biden/Harris? If this is American Carnage, more please! The US economy grew by an annualised rate of 2.8 per cent in the third quarter, powered by strong consumer spending and business investment. -- Financial Times, 10/30/24 WASHINGTON (AP) — American consumers are feeling quite a bit more confident this month as Election Day approaches, a business research group says. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index jumped to 108.7 in October from 99.2 in September. It was the biggest monthly gain since March of 2021. Analysts forecast a more modest reading of 99.3 apnews.com/article/consumer-confidence-inflation-economy-conference-board-e40f894edf5be2687114c344d95c8c63 |

MAGA morons. Incredibly stupid and ignorant vulgarians. One of the more puzzling, albeit obscure, subplots in the final weeks of this campaign season has been Donald Trump’s thunderingly incompetent effort to court Mormon voters. But almost immediately, Latter-day Saints for Trump devolved into a Veep-like comedy of errors. The official website went live on October 7 with a photo of Russell M. Nelson, the president of the Church and a man considered by its members to be a prophet of God. When a reporter for the Church-owned Deseret News asked whether the campaign had gotten permission to feature the image, given the Church’s neutrality in partisan politics, the campaign quickly scrubbed the photo from its homepage. A few days later, users on X discovered a page on the Trump-campaign website selling Mormon-branded merch—including Latter-day Saints for Trump coffee mugs ($25) and koozies (two for $15). When people pointed out that Mormons somewhat famously don’t drink coffee or alcohol, the campaign hastily rebranded the merch, and a social-media pile-on ensued. (“Next: Jews for Trump pork chops.”)vulgarity. The latest hitch in Trump’s Mormon outreach came yesterday, when the Deseret News reported that Doug Quezada, a founding co-chair of Latter-day Saints for Trump, is being sued for fraud over an alleged scheme involving a cannabis company. Such allegations may be somewhat commonplace in the Republican nominee’s orbit, but the words cannabis company and fraud will not reassure Trump-skeptical Mormons. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/latter-day-saints-trump/680428/ |
