| | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 📝 Kamala Harris rolled out a plan to energize black men. Harris unveiled an "opportunity agenda for black men" that includes up to $20,000 forgivable loans for one million black entrepreneurs. Her plan also includes creating apprentices to study diseases that affect black Americans, advocating for legal marijuana on the federal level, and regulating cryptocurrencies. | 🇵🇸 New documents reveal Hamas' ambitious plans to attack Israel. Documents seized by Israeli forces show that Hamas leaders had plotted a wave of terror attacks against Israel beyond just the October 7 massacre, including a 9/11-style strike in Tel Aviv, while seeking Iran's support. Some of the terrorist group's plans involved using trains, boats, and even horse-drawn chariots. | 🚨 Biden warned Iran that any attempt on Trump's life would be an act of war. President Biden has reportedly directed the National Security Council to inform Iran that any assassination attempt on former President Trump would be considered an act of war. This message comes after the Trump team was briefed on specific threats from Iran, prompting an uncommon request for military aircraft to protect Trump in the final days of the campaign. | 🤫 Bill Clinton admitted Democrats' priorities with illegal migration. During a Kamala Harris campaign stop, former President Bill Clinton admitted that University of Georgia student Laken Riley would still be alive if the illegal alien who killed her had been properly vetted. Clinton went on to admit that Democrats are flooding the country with migrants because Americans "aren't having enough babies." |

| | | MY THOUGHTS | OBAMA AND THE BROTHERS | Good morning. The Harris campaign is in panic mode — and so is its mastermind, Barack Obama, the one who replaced Biden with Kamala. The reason is simple: every major demographic in America is shifting right, toward Trump. Whites, Hispanics, and even black Americans. | For Obama, who split the country with racial rhetoric to keep the black vote and rally "white guilt" voters, this is scary. He's losing control. | In a frustrated appeal, Obama urged black men — or "brothers" — to drop their excuses and step back in line, calling it "not acceptable" to support Trump. He would never talk to any other group like that. | But it's not 2020 anymore. Black Americans remember the record wage growth they experienced under Trump. Their lives improved — despite the media's endless narrative of oppression. So, record numbers will vote Trump. For Democrats and the media, that's a nightmare scenario. | |

| | | WASHINGTON | How Muslim voters could hand Trump the election | | Trump's support among Michigan's Muslim voters has increased to 30 percent The Trump campaign opened an office in Hamtramck, a city with a 60 percent Muslim population, and received the mayor's endorsement Jill Stein is drawing Muslim voters away from Kamala Harris, potentially giving Trump the advantage
| The story | Former President Donald Trump's support among Muslim voters has increased significantly compared to 2020. | A recent poll from the nonprofit Rainey Center shows that around 30 percent of Muslim Americans would back Trump in the 2024 election, up seven percent from the last election. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, holds 62 percent of the Muslim vote. | Michigan is one of the key battleground states that could decide the election. And in a striking campaign move, the Trump campaign has opened an office in Hamtramck — a city with a 60 percent Muslim population — signaling an intentional effort to win Muslim voters. | Once a solid Democratic voting bloc, Arab Americans in Michigan have become increasingly disillusioned with the Biden-Harris administration, particularly over its support for Israel in the ongoing Gaza conflict. | Some Muslims believe that, despite being very pro-Israel, Trump would successfully bring peace to the region, unlike his Democratic counterparts. While Trump frequently makes bold claims about ending wars "on day one," he actually delivered peace to the Middle East while he was in office with the groundbreaking Abraham Accords. | Local Muslim leaders, such as Hamtramck's Democratic mayor, Amer Ghalib, have even publicly endorsed Trump. | The politics | Figures like Barry Altman, a Republican candidate in Michigan's state elections, argue that Trump is the only candidate determined enough to bring peace to the Middle East. Others, closer to Trump's orbit, echo the same sentiment. | "Jews and Muslims, Arabs and Israelis all know Donald Trump means peace," said former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell. "Kamala gives them more war." | On the left, many Democrats are alarmed by the shift in support, as Arab Americans have traditionally backed their party. While Harris still has the backing of prominent Muslim progressives like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), she has not received the endorsement of anti-Israel Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who represents Dearborn, Michigan. | Dearborn has one of the largest Muslim populations in the US, and in the 2024 Democratic primary, over half the city voted "uncommitted," while only 40 percent voted for Biden. | What the media misses | One key aspect that the media often overlooks is the role of Green Party candidate Jill Stein in peeling away support from Kamala Harris. In Michigan, Stein has gained significant traction with Muslim voters by branding herself as radically anti-Israel. | According to a poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Stein holds the support of 40 percent of Muslim voters, far surpassing both Harris and Trump. This could potentially deprive Harris of tens of thousands of votes since the Green Party is typically an alternative choice for Democrats, not Republicans. | In 2020, Trump lost the state by around 150,000 votes, but Stein was not on the ballot. She appeared on the Michigan ballot in 2016, where she won over 51,000 votes, and Hillary Clinton lost the state by a mere 10,000 votes. | While some media outlets have covered Stein's candidacy as an afterthought, her influence is clear: led by Muslim voters, the movement to abandon Harris for Stein could easily tilt the state to Trump's favor. | Why it matters | The shift of Muslim and Arab American voters in Michigan toward Trump is a significant development that could alter the outcome of the 2024 election in his favor. Michigan, with its large Arab American population and 15 electoral votes, is one of the crucial battleground states that both candidates are vying to win. | This shift of a traditionally Democratic bloc toward Trump could have lasting effects on future elections, signaling to Democrats that many voters are willing to back an opposition candidate rather than support the status quo. | |
