Shares of Dollar Tree plunged nearly 12% in premarket trading in New York after the discount retailer, which operates thousands of stores nationwide, posted fiscal second-quarter earnings that fell short of Wall Street expectations. The company also slashed its full-year outlook, pointing to mounting financial pressures on middle-income and higher-income customers. This comes less than a week after major rival Dollar General reported a “financially constrained core customer” that sent shares crashing the most on record.
What’s critical to note for the political strategist: Dollar Tree & Family Dollar and Dollar General stores are mostly concentrated in the eastern half of the US. Mangment’s gloom about its core customer base should serve as a proxy for consumer sentiment for mid/low-tier consumers. In other words, there is a lot of gloom and doom among working-poor Americans in critical swing states.
Last week, Dollar General shares crashed the most on record after management warned that core customers “feel financially constrained.”

Harris’s vote broke the 50-50 tie on the “Inflation Reduction Act” (IRA), a key part of the Biden-Harris administration’s “investing in America agenda.” So, despite her not so transparent attempt recently to run away from Biden, she owns the IRA.
Americans know that everything has become more expensive under Biden and Harris – gas, groceries, housing. But perhaps the worst impact the IRA had was breaking health care for America’s seniors, spurring the biggest spike in Medicare Part D premiums ever. The IRA re-wrote Medicare Part D, changing it from a program that relied on markets and competition to keep costs down, to a command-and-control style program with price controls set by bureaucrats in Washington, DC. And the consequences have been devastating.
For the 50 million Americans enrolled in Medicare Part D, after 15 years of stability, premiums went up more than 20 percent in 2024 and are expected to increase by almost 50 percent in 2025.
And here’s the latest. To temporarily defray the premium hikes on seniors right before the election, the Biden-Harris administration is bailing out Part D insurers with billions in taxpayer dollars to conceal the increases. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is calling it a “premium stabilization” for stand-alone prescription drug plans, the full details of which have been spelled out in an excellent report by Paragon Health Institute.
This week, House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) and Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-IA), along with House Energy & Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA); House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO); and Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-ID), penned a letter demanding more details on the CMS bailout – which Democrats call a “demonstration program.”
“Because of Democrats’ rushed, partisan policymaking in the IRA, America’s seniors now face skyrocketing premiums for prescription drug coverage next year,” the Republicans said. “This will constrict their choices when making health coverage decisions for next year.”
“To cover up rising premiums ahead of November, the Biden-Harris Administration announced a new demonstration program, which will buy down premium increases by sending billions of taxpayer dollars directly to large insurance companies,” they said.
Kamala Harris reached for another GOP policy proposal this week, calling for a small business tax break rejected by almost all Democrat lawmakers six years ago and supported by every Republican member of the House.
Harris is proposing an expansion of the tax deduction for small business start-up expenses from $5,000 to $50,000, according to descriptions of the proposal citing anonymous campaign officials
The idea mirrors similar legislation that has been proposed several times by Republicans, most prominently by Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.). In 2018, the House passed a version of Buchanan’s bill that would have increased the deduction to $20,000. Every Republican member of the House voted in favor of the legislation, and nearly all Democrats voted against it. The Trump administration supported the bill.
The bill was included in a legislation package meant as a follow-up to the 2017 Trump tax cuts. It was known as “Tax Reform 2.0.”
In the past, Democrats have attacked tax breaks for small businesses, many of which are operated as so-called pass-through entities, claiming they mostly benefit the wealthy. Harris’s proposal is aimed at making her seem more business-friendly than the Biden-Harris administration has been.

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a warning to employees at digital asset firms regarding the latest attempt by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to steal crypto.
In a Sept. 3 notice, the FBI said North Korean malicious cyber actors were targeting workers at decentralized finance and cryptocurrency companies to steal funds through “complex and elaborate” social engineering campaigns. Specifically, the federal agency warned that the scammers had researched firms associated with cryptocurrency-tied exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.
How the scam works
The actors employed schemes, including fake offers of employment or investment opportunities and impersonating well-known individuals associated “with certain technologies” to trick users. The scammers may then provide a link to a “pre-employment test” or another download to install malware.
“The actors usually attempt to initiate prolonged conversations with prospective victims to build rapport and deliver malware in situations that may appear natural and non-alerting,” said the FBI, adding:
“The actors usually communicate with victims in fluent or nearly fluent English and are well versed in the technical aspects of the cryptocurrency field.”

A US service member has been detained in Caracas, Venezuela, according to CNN.
The State Department has advised Americans against traveling to Venezuela.
“Do not travel to Venezuela due to crime, civil unrest, kidnapping, and the arbitrary enforcement of local laws. Reconsider travel due to wrongful detentions, terrorism, and poor health infrastructure.” the US Department of State warned.
Brazil’s communist President Lula Da Silva has seemingly backed his country’s ban on the X platform and said Brazil does not have to “put up” with Elon Musk.
Speaking to CNN Brasil, Da Silva said that Brazil’s justice system had sent an “important signal” to Musk about the limits of his incredible wealth.
“The Brazilian justice system may have given an important signal that the world is not obliged to put up with Musk’s extreme right-wing anything goes just because he is rich,” the president said.
Elon Musk’s internet service, Starlink, has announced that it will comply with a Brazil Supreme Court order to shut down X while vowing to pursue “all legal avenues” to allow the recently banned Musk-owned social media platform to operate in Brazil.
The move, announced by Starlink in a statement on Sept. 3, marks an apparent reversal after the country’s telecommunications regulator previously said that the satellite-based internet provider stated that it wouldn’t agree to block the social media platform.
Starlink said it would abide by an order from Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes requiring internet service providers and app stores to block X from their platforms.
“Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil,” Starlink’s statement said.“We continue to pursue all legal avenues, as are others who agree that @alexandre’s recent orders violate the Brazilian constitution.”
The release of the journal provides very little new information about the shooter’s motives but raises interesting questions about the public’s right to review all the investigative material, including, and especially, mental health records.
Hale had been diagnosed with at least five mental illnesses and had received cocktails of psychiatric drugs as “treatment” and some of the adverse events associated with just the known drugs (Lorazepam, Buspirone, Lexapro, Hydroxyzine and Prozac) Hale had been prescribed could be responsible for the shooter’s deadly thoughts.
So why are Hale’s mental health records being withheld (Evidence Item #46 “Psych File”) for public review? It’s no secret that Vanderbilt “treated” Hale most of her life. The “treatment” provided to Hale included talk therapy and mind-altering psychotropic drugs…cocktails of them.
Who wants to bet that not one of the psychiatrists, therapists or MDs at Vanderbilt ever advised Hale’s parents or Hale that none of the psychiatric drugs being prescribed actually treated any known abnormality in the brain? In other words, not one of Hale’s treating physicians ever said “hey, we don’t know what is causing your behavior, but these drugs will make you feel different.
T
It’s interesting, though, that the FBI’s BTAC did not list cocktails of mind-altering drugs as a possible reason for mass shootings. This, of course, is of interest because prescribed psychiatric drugs often are part of the shooter’s history.

Is the FBI covering for the pharmaceutical or Behavioral Health Industries?

The CDC, FBI, and legacy media are conspiring to “debunk” the truth that armed, law-abiding citizens prevent crime and stop mass shootings.
For years, gun control activists have sought to “debunk” the so called “good guy with a gun myth” in an effort to pass more stringent controls on one of our nation’s most cherished liberties. In support of this agenda, the federal government in conjunction with legacy media has sought to suppress the abundant evidence in support of the truth that armed, law-abiding citizens are one of the most effective deterrents against public mass casualty attacks.
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) under the Biden Administration has sought to suppress data proving that armed citizens help prevent crime by removing its estimates of defensive gun uses from its website. For almost a decade, the CDC referenced a 2013 National Academies of Sciences report noting that people used guns to stop crime anywhere from about 64,000 to 3 million times a year.
This decision was taken after gun control activist Mark Bryant, founder of the Gun Violence Archive, lobbied the CDC to remove “misinformation” regarding defensive gun use estimates because of they are cited by “gun rights folks” to stop gun control legislation. Soon after, the CDC took down these estimates and now lists no numbers.
The FBI has also shown itself to be susceptible to political pressure. The FBI defines an active shooter attack as occurring when an individual actively kills or attempts to kill people in a populated, public area. This measure includes everything from just one person shot at, even if the target isn’t hit, to a mass public shooting. It doesn’t include, however, shootings involving other crimes, such as robbery or fighting over drug turf.
To compile its list, the FBI hired researchers at Texas State University. Police departments don’t record these cases, so the researchers relied on Google searches to find news stories about these incidents. As such, the FBI’s evidence relies on a dataset that is actively hostile to the truth.
The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), has found many more missed cases and is keeping an updated list. As such, the CPRC numbers tell a much different story: Out of 515 active shooter incidents from 2014 to 2023, armed citizens stopped 180, saving countless innocent lives. Our numbers even excluded 27 cases where a law-abiding citizen with a gun stopped an attacker before he could fire a shot.
Overall, the CPRC estimates that law-abiding citizens with guns have stopped over 35 percent of active shootings over the last decade and 39.6 percent in the last five years. This figure is eight times higher than the four percent estimate made by the FBI.
This figure increases even more when controlling only for areas where citizens are legally allowed to carry a firearm; after all, you can’t except that law-abiding citizens will stop attacks in gun-free zones. In places where law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry firearms, we estimate that armed civilians stopped 51 percent of active shootings over the past decade. Over the last five years, that figure was 53.1 percent.

MORE – The USS John S. McCain is attached to the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group, actively deployed in the Middle East.
The House Education and Workforce Committee issued subpoenas Wednesday to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Minnesota Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for how they responded to what federal prosecutors have called the largest pandemic fraud schemes in the country.
The subpoenas, obtained first by NBC News, demand that Walz, Minnesota Commissioner of Education Willie Jett, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Agriculture Inspector General Phyllis Fong turn over documents concerning oversight of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which is alleged to have misused millions of dollars intended to feed children during the pandemic.
According to a June state audit report, the Minnesota Education Department failed to properly oversee Feeding Our Future, saying the department’s “actions and inactions created opportunities for fraud.”
State education officials are tasked with overseeing federal programs that reimburse groups like Feeding Our Future for providing free, nutritious meals to children. The state audit called the Minnesota Education Department’s oversight “inadequate.”

Hamilton Brown, from Co Antrim, was paid equivalent of €11m in compensation by British government to free slaves after ban
Presumptive Democratic nominee and US vice-president Kamala Harris has Irish roots but not in a way that she is likely to embrace.
Ms Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris, who was born in Jamaica, and Shyamala Gopalan Harris from India.
Genealogical research carried out by Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken reveals Ms Harris’s four-times-paternal-great-grandfather Hamilton Brown was born in Co Antrim in 1776, the year of the US Declaration of Independence.
Brown emigrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, and became an enthusiastic slave owner on the sugar plantations that were the mainstay of the island’s economy. He opposed the abolition of slavery across the British Empire in 1832 and went to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from his native county.
The Kamala Harris campaign, along with the Democrat National Committee (DNC) are offloading millions of campaign dollars to other down-ballot races across the country.
This is very telling. As you may recall, one of the reasons why panicked Democrats wanted to get Joe Biden out of the race is because they feared he would cause the party to lose control of the Senate and prevent them from regaining the House.
Why would they take millions away from the Harris campaign with such a short distance to the election?
The unprecedented reallocation comes as Harris’s campaign goes on defense after failing to achieve a post-convention bump taken for granted by most modern campaigns. Harris and her top surrogates were dispatched to blue states this week, where former President Donald Trump continues to show unexpected strength.
The down-ballot spending also follows a terrible week capped by the campaign’s trashing of 13 Gold Star families — an attack that blew up spectacularly.
Politico notesthat Democrats did something similar in 2020, but moved far less cash to the other races:
The Democrats’ greatest fear is Trump winning with a GOP controlled House and Senate. Trump would be able to act almost immediately and there would be little to nothing that Democrats could do about it.
polls are not to be trusted thanks to various ‘tricks of the trade’ – most commonly, oversampling.
founder of the main outside spending group backing Kamala Harris for president says their own internal opinion polling is “much less rosy” than public polls.
“Our numbers are much less rosy than what you’re seeing in the public,“ said Future Forward super PAC president Chauncey McLean said during a Monday event hosted by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
Now, the Washington Times reports that some pollsters are even sounding the alarm over Vice President Kamala Harris’ so-called ‘surge’ in the polls – which Harris pulled ahead in after replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee on July 21.
Since the switch, Harris is leading Trump nationally by nearly 2 percentage points and is either leading or tied with him in all seven battleground states. However, Republican analysts argue that these polling numbers may not accurately reflect voter sentiment due to biased polling methodology.
many polls have been sampling a disproportionately smaller share of Republican voters compared to exit poll data from the 2020 presidential election. The result, they say, is a misleading “phantom advantage” for Ms. Harris. According to them, this skewed sampling could be a strategic move to boost enthusiasm and fundraising for Ms. Harris’ campaign.

Fani Willis and Nathan Wade were seen arriving at the scene in Tyrone, Georgia
She has insisted their workplace romance is a thing of the past after it threw her groundbreaking prosecution of former President Donald Trump on election interference charges into disarray.
And yet Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and ex-lover Nathan Wade looked remarkably like a couple as they are seen on recent police bodycam footage obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
The pair were filmed together at the scene of her pregnant daughter Kinaya’s August 24 arrest for allegedly driving with a suspended license.

Hackers apparently breached the social media accounts of Lara and Tiffany Trump on Tuesday, distributing what the former president’s son said were two fake posts touting a family cryptocurrency venture.

Eric Trump quickly declared them a hoax in his own X post
Both phony posts referenced World Liberty Financial, a Trump family cryptocurrency project that has yet to formally launch.

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US presidential election by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
It’s expected the US will make a series of moves o aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.
Taken together, the actions would be the Biden administration’s most significant public response yet to alleged Russian influence operations targeting American voters. After the US accused Iran of trying to hack both the Trump and Biden-Harris campaigns last month, Wednesday’s expected actions are a reminder that US officials continue to see Russia as a prominent foreign influence threat to November’s election, the sources said.
The Biden-Harris Regime is launching a “whole government action” to purge so-called ‘Russian propaganda’ and ‘disinformation’ ahead of the 2024 election.
