President Joe Biden traveled to Delaware aboard Air Force One Tuesday to vote in an election season that will decide the fate of his remaining time in office.

The president cast his ballot in Delaware primary elections as his party scrambles for every possible vote in the November midterms, which will determine control of Congress and the future of Biden's legislative agenda.

In Delaware, he addressed the issue of inflation, which remains high and is a key issue for voters of all political stripes.

Biden said he was not concerned about the latest data, and that "we're talking one tenth of one percent" — an apparent reference to the consumer price index rising by 0.1 percent in August compared to the month before.

The midterms usually go poorly for the incumbent president's party, and this was until recently forecast to be the case for Biden as well. But Democrats have begun to hope that all is not lost.

The party has heavily emphasized Republican opposition to the right to abortion in their messaging, while Biden has sought to turn the vote into a referendum on his predecessor Donald Trump.

Foreign-Born Population Grows to Highest Level Ever Under Biden (Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

By Jack Gournell | Tuesday, 13 September 2022 08:18 PM EDT

The total foreign-born population in the United States has hit its highest level ever at 46.8 million under the Biden administration, according to just-released Census figures.

The numbers include both illegal and legal immigration, showing at least in part the effect of illegal crossings along the southern border with Mexico, writes Steven A. Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies.

Republicans have criticized President Joe Biden for abandoning former President Donald Trump's tough border policies that held those trying to cross the border without documentation in Mexico while they awaited hearings. Border surges have coincided with Biden's policy reversals.

During the past year, 2 million new foreign-born residents have been added to the population, according to the Census Bureau's Annual Social and Economic Supplement survey.

The foreign-born population has quintupled since 1970 and tripled since 1980. It has doubled since 1990, according to the data.

"The foreign-born share of the U.S. population is approaching the record highs reached in 1910 (14.7 percent) and 1890 (14.8 percent)," Camarota writes.

Mass immigration, whether legal or illegal, can hurt the native-born working class by depressing wages and pushing up the need for social services since immigrant households are statistically larger and earn less, thus contributing less in taxes, Breitbart News' John Binder writes.

But it aids wealthier Americans who are able to hire lower-wage foreign workers, Binder argues, and it provides them with more consumers and more families who need housing.

"Just the sheer number of people overwhelms communities," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said earlier this week. "This idea of mass immigration — whether it’s illegal immigration or whether it’s just mass immigration through the legal process like the Diversity Lottery or chain migration — that is not conducive to assimilating people into a civil society."

A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that 54% of likely Republican voters want to see legal immigration cut by more than half to fewer than 500,000 a year, while swing voters want them cut to at least 750,000 a year.

New Hampshire GOP Gov. Chris Sununu retained the Republican nomination for governor in Tuesday night's primary election, Decision Desk HQ projects.

DDHQ called the race shortly after 8 p.m., when the final polls in the state closed.

Sununu, a moderate who was originally elected governor in 2017, held off primary challenges from five candidates, including: Karen Testerman, Thaddeus Riley, Julian Acciard, Richard McMenamon, and Jay Lewis.

Sununu will face Democrat Tom Sherman in November's midterm general election.

Former President Donald Trump, who Sununu has criticized, did not make an endorsement in the race.

Dershowitz to Newsmax: Ken Starr Had a 'Deeply, Deeply Principled' Legal Mind (Newsmax/''The Record With Greta Van Susteren'')

By Jay Clemons | Tuesday, 13 September 2022 07:58 PM EDT

Alan Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard University and one of the nation's foremost authorities on constitutional law, had a unique professional relationship with Ken Starr, the prosecutor whose investigation led to the House impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998.

In the late 1990s, Dershowitz worked against Starr — who died Tuesday at age 76, according to a family statement — in the Clinton impeachment proceedings.

And then, some 20-plus years later, Dershowitz and Starr worked together on the impeachment defense of former President Donald Trump.

Starr ''was a great scholar, great thinker, and just a wonderful man," Dershowitz told Newsmax on Tuesday evening while appearing on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren."

Going further with his recollection, Dershowitz — who is promoting a book, "The Price of Principle" — fondly remembers Starr being "very religious" in his personal life and "deeply, deeply principled" about the legal profession.

There were also a number of disagreements between the two legal minds, Dershowitz said, but Starr "wasn't disagreeable," personality-wise.

Dershowitz then used a Yiddish word to describe Starr's honorable persona: "He was a mensch."

From a political and philosophical standpoint, Dershowitz said he and Starr "disagreed about almost anything … but the arguments [Starr] always made were sound and compelling."

Starr's patient, cerebral approach to professional life paved the way for him to serve as solicitor general of the United States during George H.W. Bush's presidency (1989-93).

And after leaving the political scene, Starr had two high-profile stints as the law school dean at Pepperdine University and president of Baylor University.

"This man did everything," Dershowitz marveled.

Midterm Primaries Wrap Up With Fresh Test of GOP's Future New Hampshire GOP Senate primary candidate Don Bolduc (Newsmax)

WILL WEISSERT and HOLLY RAMER Tuesday, 13 September 2022 07:18 PM EDT

A staunchly conservative retired Army general is vying for the chance to take on Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., in a contest many Republicans hoped would be among their best chances to flip a Senate seat this year.

But the prospect of Don Bolduc winning Tuesday's GOP Senate primary has dampened those ambitions. In a state that President Joe Biden carried by more than 7 percentage points, Bolduc has campaigned on a platform that includes lies that Donald Trump won the 2020 election and conspiracy theories about vaccines.

That underscores the sense of disappointment among some national Republicans that Gov. Chris Sununu, a relatively popular moderate who likely could have posed more of a threat to Hassan, chose instead to run for reelection. The GOP is grappling with the possibility of again nominating a candidate who is popular with the party's base but struggles to broaden support ahead of the November general election.

Republican primary voters have similarly chosen conservative candidates this year in moderate or Democratic-leaning states including Massachusetts and Maryland, potentially putting competitive races out of the party's reach.

Neil Levesque, director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, said Bolduc is a type of candidate who would have struggled to succeed in GOP politics before Trump's rise. He has never held elected office and had just $75,000 in cash on hand last week. Still, Bolduc has been able to make inroads by positioning himself as an ally of Trump and his election falsehoods.

"That is because the theme of his campaign and messaging is very similar to former President Trump," Levesque said. "If it mirrors the former president, it's been effective."

Federal and state officials and Trump's own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president's allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed.

Known for kicking off the primary season during presidential campaigns, New Hampshire is instead marking the conclusion of the nominating process for this year's midterms. There are also contests on Tuesday in Delaware and Rhode Island.

But the U.S. Senate race in New Hampshire is perhaps most revealing about the direction of the GOP. Bolduc is competing in a crowded field that includes Chuck Morse, the more moderate president of the New Hampshire state Senate, who has been endorsed by Sununu. The governor called Morse "the candidate to beat Sen. Hassan this November and the candidate Sen. Hassan is most afraid to face."

Sununu feels differently about Bolduc, whom he's called a conspiracy theorist while warning that Bolduc could have a harder time winning the general election.

Bolduc doesn't seem bothered by Sununu's criticism. He's called the governor "a Chinese communist sympathizer." Bolduc hasn't been formally endorsed by Trump, who propelled many primary candidates to victory in key races throughout the summer. But the former president has called Bolduc a "strong guy."

The final primary contests are unfolding at a dramatic moment in the midterm campaign. Republicans have spent much of the year building their election-year message around Biden and his management of the economy, particularly soaring prices. But Democrats are now entering the final stretch with a sense of cautious optimism as approval of Biden steadies and inflation shows signs of easing.

The Supreme Court's decision overturning a woman's constitutional right to an abortion may provide Democrats with the energy they need to turn back the defeats that historically accompany a new president's first midterms.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged the challenge last month, saying his party may be more likely to end Democrats' narrow control of the House than the Senate. He bemoaned "candidate quality" as a factor that could sway some outcomes in his chamber.

Some Democratic groups, meanwhile, have sponsored primary ads promoting Bolduc, predicting he'll make an easier November opponent for Hassan. That's consistent with Democratic-aligned organizations backing pro-Trump candidates in key races around the country — a strategy some have criticized, arguing that it could backfire if those candidates go on to win their general elections.

Republicans in New Hampshire and around the country scoff at the notion that being a Trump loyalist — or not — could be a deciding general election factor, noting that the still unpopular Biden will be a drag on his party regardless.

The New Hampshire Republican Party has tweeted that Hassan "votes with Joe Biden 96.4% of the time."

Many of the same dynamics swirling around the former president are at work in New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District, where pro-Trump candidate Bob Burns is among several Republicans vying for the party's nomination to face five-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster.

In New Hampshire's other congressional district, which encompasses Manchester and the southeastern part of the state, several Republicans are vying to challenge Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas, who could also face a potentially close general election reelection contest — once he learns who his opponent will be.

The GOP field includes former TV broadcaster Gail Huff Brown, wife of Scott Brown, a former U.S. senator from Massachusetts and ambassador to New Zealand during the Trump administration. Also running is Matt Mowers, who won the district's congressional 2020 Republican nomination and was a Trump administration State Department adviser.

But the candidate closest to Trump might be Karoline Leavitt, who worked in his White House's press office and has also campaigned with Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

"Her compass always points to Trump," said Dante Scala, a University of New Hampshire political science professor. He added, in reference to the former president's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan, "She, in a very kind of crisp, sharp, confident way, will say the most MAGA thing that can be said in any situation."

Stephen Moore to Newsmax: Rising Cost of Necessities 'Killing American Families' (Newsmax/"American Agenda")

By Jay Clemons | Tuesday, 13 September 2022 07:07 PM EDT

Economist Stephen Moore, a former senior economic adviser with the Trump White House and founding president of the Club For Growth, believes the Biden administration picked an odd time to tout the formal passing of the Inflation Reduction Act Tuesday — the same day in which the consumer-driven inflation rate for August surged 8.3%, from a year-over-year perspective.

"Can you imagine a worse time to have a celebration on a bill that massively increases spending and taxes?" Moore rhetorically asked Newsmax Tuesday afternoon, while appearing on "American Agenda" with hosts Bob Sellers and Katrina Szish.

Prior to Tuesday's announcement, Moore's rough calculations had the inflation rate in a range below 8%. However, those figures didn't account enough for human necessities — such as food, water, electricity, shelter, etc. — rising twice or thrice in price, compared to this time last year.

"I didn't think it'd be this bad," admits Moore of the August inflation rate, while adding, "This is killing American families."

By Moore's estimates, the average American family has lost nearly $4,000 in purchasing power since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.

"This didn't just happen by accident," says Moore, while referencing a number of sluggish Biden economic policies.

Messaging has also been a problem for the Biden White House, says Moore, author of the book, "Trumponomics."

For example, the White House naming a bill the Inflation Reduction Act, "when it just adds kerosene to the fire, is almost laughable," says Moore.

Factoring in the string of consecutive months with high inflation, along with negative GDP growth in back-to-back quarters, Moore asserts the Federal Reserve will likely be compelled to raise interest rates again — perhaps multiple times — over the next few months.

"The Fed's in a tough place right now," says Moore. "And this [economic downturn] was so avoidable. All we had to do was stop spending money."

Instead, Moore says the Democrats' out-of-control spending has put this nation into a deeper hole.

"It's just a killer" to Americans trying to get ahead, Moore says.

Judge Unseals Additional Portions of Mar-a-Lago Affidavit Former President Donald Trump plays golf at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., Tuesday. (AP)

ERIC TUCKER Tuesday, 13 September 2022 06:51 PM EDT

A federal judge Tuesday unsealed additional portions of an FBI affidavit laying out the basis for a search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home, showing that agents earlier obtained a hard drive after issuing a subpoena for surveillance footage recorded inside Mar-a-Lago.

A heavily redacted version of the affidavit was made public last month, but the Justice Department requested permission to show more of it after lawyers for Trump revealed the existence of a June grand jury subpoena that sought video footage from cameras in the vicinity of the Mar-a-Lago storage room.

“Because those aspects of the grand jury’s investigation have now been publicly revealed, there is no longer any reason to keep them sealed (i.e. redacted) in the filings in this matter,” department lawyers wrote.

The newly visible portions of the FBI agent’s affidavit show that the FBI on June 24 subpoenaed for the records in June after a visit weeks earlier to Mar-a-Lago in which agents observed between 50 to 55 boxes of records in the storage room at the property. The Trump Organization provided a hard drive on July 6 in response to the subpoena, the affidavit says.

The footage could be an important piece of the investigation, including whether anyone has sought to obstruct the probe. The Justice Department has said in a separate filing that it has “developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.”

The Justice Department has been investigating the holding of top-secret information and other classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House. FBI agents during their Aug. 8 search of the home and club said they recovered more than 11,000 documents, including over 100 with classification markings.

Separately Tuesday, the Justice Department again urged U.S. District Aileen Cannon to lift her hold on core aspects of the investigation. Cannon last week granted the Trump team's request for an independent arbiter to review the seized documents and weed out from the investigation any records that may be covered by claims of executive or attorney-client privilege.

She also ordered the department to halt its review of the records pending any further court order or the completion of a report by the yet-to-be-named special master. The department urged Cannon last week to put her order on hold and told the judge Tuesday that its investigation would be harmed by a continued delay of its ability to scrutinize the classified documents.

“The government and the public unquestionably have an interest in the timely enforcement of criminal laws, particularly those involving the protection of highly sensitive information, and especially where, as here, there may have been efforts to obstruct its investigation,” the lawyers wrote.

The Trump team on Monday urged the judge to leave her order in place. His lawyers raised questions about the documents' current classification status and noted that a president has absolute authority to declassify information, though it pointedly did not say that Trump had actually declassified anything.

OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 11:08 AM PT – Tuesday, September 13, 2022

The mayor of a small Illinois town is reeling after dozens of migrants are bussed to his town without notice. Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson said he recently received a call from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s office, informing him ”a bus” full of migrants would be arriving in the city that evening.

When he asked for more information such as how many migrants and which hotel they were headed to, Johnson said the office claimed “no details were available.” The small town mayor then questioned whether these migrants had been subjected to any health screenings or background checks, but given no answer. Johnson said he would provide food and water for the migrants, but not allow them off the bus.

“We started doing some homework. The State of Texas has no clue where Elk Grove Village is. They were not going to Elk Grove Village. They were going to the city of Chicago. She wants to probably say politically: ‘I’m a sanctuary city. I welcome you with open arms.’ But when reality checks, if five bus loads shows up in her city, she can’t handle it. So let’s give them to Elk Grove Village. That’s wrong…We’re not against migrants. We’re not against helping them, but we should work together. Our frustration is, no well-advance knowledge, no involvement in communication discussing how we can handle it.”

–Mayor Craig Johnson – Elk Grove Village, Illinois

This comes as Illinois Democrat leadership, including Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot have attempted to play off the influx of migrants from Texas as ”racism” by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Book of Limbaugh Radio Commentary to Be Published Oct. 25 Limbaugh and Trump, 2019. (AP)

Tuesday, 13 September 2022 03:44 PM EDT

A compilation of radio commentary by the late Rush Limbaugh, from his early years on the air to his decades as a bombastic and influential voice in conservative politics, will be published Oct. 25.

Threshold Editions, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Wednesday that “Radio's Greatest of All Time" will include contributions from former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The book was curated in part by Limbaugh's widow, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, and his brother, David Limbaugh.

“This book is written in appreciation of the millions of listeners who Rush considered to be his extended family and ‘the greatest audience in the world,'" Threshold's announcement reads in part.

Limbaugh died of lung cancer in 2021 at age 70. In his lifetime, he published the bestsellers “The Way Things Ought to Be” and “See, I Told You So.”

Corey Lewandowski to Newsmax: 'Politicization' of DOJ Being Ignored Corey Lewandowski (Getty Images)

By Jay Clemons | Tuesday, 13 September 2022 03:01 PM EDT

Corey Lewandowski, a former senior adviser for Trump 2020, believes the American public and White House would be "up in arms" if word broke of a third-world country dictator using the federal police to "intimidate" and "harass" their main political opponent, along with that candidate's senior aides and junior staffers.

And yet, Lewandowski says the left-leaning media and Democrats have largely chosen to ignore the Biden administration's influence with the FBI's Aug. 8 raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, or recent news accounts of Trump staffers being harangued by federal officials, amid threats of "weapons, badges, and subpoenas."

"This the politicization of the Justice Department," Lewandowski told Newsmax on Tuesday while appearing on "John Bachman Now." "[The feds] showing up at people's homes, knocking on doors" and try to frighten workers connected to Trump.

Lewandowski added that "as opposed to just calling" these staffers, federal officials are looking to execute home searches, which serve the dual purpose of getting media attention, and also intimidating and embarrassing those who don't have the financial means to afford high-priced legal representation.

"[The feds] want to bankrupt you," says Lewandowski.

From Lewandowski's perspective, the best way to combat political intimidation involves voting for Republican changes at the ballot box; and in New Hampshire, particularly the U.S. Senate battle, Lewandowski believes the GOP "can clearly win this race, if they nominate the right person."

Entering tonight's primaries in New Hampshire, Real Clear Politics has Senate candidate Donald C. Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, leading the Republican primary challengers by double-digit points.

"Here is a real opportunity for Republicans to take [over] a competitive U.S. Senate seat," says Lewandowski, while forecasting that incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. would be "absolutely vulnerable" in a general-election setting.

Republicans and Democrats are deadlocked in a 50-all tie for Senate seats heading into the Nov. 8 midterm elections.

According to Lewandowski, Hassan's vulnerability has a connection to the failed policies of President Joe Biden.

Lewandowski says Biden's New Hampshire poll numbers are "atrocious."

Lewandowski also hearkened back to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in this state, when "the people of New Hampshire remember that [Biden] left halfway through the [campaign] day to go down to South Carolina."

Civics Poll: 1 in 4 Cannot Name a Single Branch of US Government (Dreamstime)

By Nicole Wells | Tuesday, 13 September 2022 01:46 PM EDT

Americans' basic knowledge of their government has taken a downturn, with a new poll finding that less than half could name all three branches of government.

The percentage of Americans who could name the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government fell by 9 percentage points from last year, according to the Annenberg Public Policy Center's annual Constitution Day Civics Survey.

A quarter of those surveyed could not name a single branch of the U.S. government.

The number of respondents who could name any of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment also dropped across the board.

Freedom of the press was named by 20%, down 30 percentage points from 2021, and freedom of religion plunged 32 percentage points, from last year's survey, to 24%.

The right to assembly was named by 16%, a decline of 14 percentage points, and the right to petition the government fell to just 6%, a drop of 14 percentage points from 2021.

One in four individuals said they could not name any First Amendment freedoms.

Just over half of those surveyed incorrectly think the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech means Facebook must allow all Americans to express themselves freely on Facebook pages.

While the First Amendment protects citizens from censorship by the government, social media companies such as Facebook are private businesses and courts have ruled that such protections do not apply to them.

Among self-described conservatives, 63% think Facebook posts are covered by the First Amendment. Half of self-described moderates and 41% of self-described liberals think the same.

The percentage of Americans who incorrectly said the right to bear arms is a First Amendment freedom tripled to 9%. The Second Amendment protects the right of Americans to keep and bear arms.

"When it comes to civics, knowledge is power," Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, said in a press release.

"It's troubling that so few know what rights we're guaranteed by the First Amendment," she continued. "We are unlikely to cherish, protect, and exercise rights if we don't know that we have them."

There were some bright spots in the survey's findings, however.

The poll found 78% know protection from "unreasonable searches and seizures" is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and 76% know that Congress cannot establish an official religion.

More than 80% knew the Supreme Court upheld that a citizen has a constitutional right to own a gun.

SSRS conducted the Civics Knowledge Survey on behalf of The Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) from Aug. 2-13 among 1,113 adults. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

Civics Poll: 1 in 4 Cannot Name a Single Branch of US Government (Dreamstime)

Americans' basic knowledge of their government has taken a downturn, with a new poll finding that less than half could name all three branches of government.

The percentage of Americans who could name the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government fell by 9 percentage points from last year, according to the Annenberg Public Policy Center's annual Constitution Day Civics Survey.

A quarter of those surveyed could not name a single branch of the U.S. government.

The number of respondents who could name any of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment also dropped across the board.

Freedom of the press was named by 20%, down 30 percentage points from 2021, and freedom of religion plunged 32 percentage points, from last year's survey, to 24%.

The right to assembly was named by 16%, a decline of 14 percentage points, and the right to petition the government fell to just 6%, a drop of 14 percentage points from 2021.

One in four individuals said they could not name any First Amendment freedoms.

Just over half of those surveyed incorrectly think the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech means Facebook must allow all Americans to express themselves freely on Facebook pages.

While the First Amendment protects citizens from censorship by the government, social media companies such as Facebook are private businesses and courts have ruled that such protections do not apply to them.
