In dueling campaign events over the weekend, Donald Trump attended a Steelers-Jets football game in Pittsburgh, where the crowd erupted in cheers and chanted, “USA! USA!” when he appeared.
Trump also tweaked Harris’ unsubstantiated claim about once working at McDonald’s (apparently her only private sector job) by making fries and burgers and working the drive-through window at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. Trump told one customer, “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala.”
The event was hailed as a huge success, yielding funny and relatable photos, videos and viral memes. There was also a moving moment when a female customer at the drive-through window implored Trump not to let America become like her native Brazil.

You can tell how successful it was by how Democrats are melting down over it…

Probably the worst response came when a pro-Harris X account unaffiliated with the campaign sniped that the McDonald’s had a health code violation last spring. They were ripped for attacking a small business over an extremely minor, months-old violation, just because they hate Trump. But hey, what else have they got?
Well, they have this…
Kamala Harris continued her well-known trajectory: The more people see and hear from her, the more they're reminded of why she should never be President. At a rally in Detroit, she appeared with hip-hop star Lizzo, who is so proud of her hometown that she declared, “They say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit. Proud like Detroit, resilient like Detroit. The same Detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. Put some respect on Detroit's name.”
FYI: It’s Trump who’s promising to bring Detroit back to its former glory. What’s likely to be remembered from that rally is Lizzo saying, “If Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit.” I know that’s not what she meant, but it makes a lot more sense and will resonate with a lot of voters.
On Sunday, Kamala appeared at a black church in Stonecrest, Georgia, at an event ironically dubbed “Souls to the Polls.” She told the congregation, “Our country is at a crossroads, and where we go from here is up to us as Americans and we people of faith.”
As a person of faith, for once, I actually agree completely with Kamala Harris. However, I disagree completely about the direction she wants to take America from that crossroad.
As if it weren’t clear enough already, she’d made it crystal clear just one day before at a rally in Wisconsin. Two LaCrosse University students in the crowd shouted, “Jesus is Lord!” She gave them a nasty look and snarked, "Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street." Her crowd roared its approval at her public rejection of Christianity. This after she’d just become the first Democrat since Mondale to skip the Al Smith Dinner for Catholic children’s charities.
To make it even worse, earlier that day in Wisconsin, a pro-Palestinian protester demanded of her, “What about the genocide?” and she replied that what he had to say was “real” and she “respects his voice.”
Studies have found that over 40 million Evangelical Christians don’t vote, even in presidential elections. I’ve tried hard this year to convince Christians to vote, and I hope that elevated early voting for Republicans is an indicator that they are. But these shocking statements by Kamala Harris show why it needs to be even higher. If all Christians voted their principles, they could determine every election in America and end the left’s weaponization of government against religious freedom for good.
Here's a monologue I did about that on “Huckabee” on TBN. If you’re seen it before, I hope you’ll share it with any fellow Christians who aren’t planning to vote.
And you should send this along, too. Tyler O’Neill of The Daily Signal is an Evangelical Christian, as well, and he offers three citations from the Bible about why it’s important for Christians to vote.
