   We are now at the Trump-is-worse-than-Hitler stage of the Kamala Harris   
   campaign, with just over two weeks until Election Day.   
      
   That’s the word from the Atlantic magazine, where CIA cipher Anne   
   Applebaum wrote another hilarious anti-Trump diatribe last week titled   
   “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.”   
      
   The Atlantic has dedicated itself to destroying Donald Trump and all his   
   works since it was bought by Laurene Jobs, the billionaire widow of Apple   
   founder Steve Jobs, who just happens to be one of VP Kamala’s best   
   friends, and who helped mobilize fellow Democratic donors to topple Joe   
   Biden after his disastrous debate performance in June.   
      
   But, like so many Trump Derangement Syndrome operations, Jobs’ efforts are   
   falling flat.   
      
   Joy has vanished from the Harris campaign.   
      
   Fear is in its place — fear that the Dems might lose the election to the   
   dreaded Trump.   
      
   Bring in the Brits   
   Dems are so desperate that they’ve turned to 100 activist staffers from   
   their counterparts across the pond — the British Labour Party — for help   
   to campaign in US swing states, sparking accusations of foreign election   
   interference.   
      
   The operation, “Labour for Kamala,” was revealed in a LinkedIn post last   
   week by the party’s head of operations, Sofia Patel: “I have nearly 100   
   Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few   
   weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia … I   
   have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground   
   state of North Carolina — we will sort your housing.”   
      
   The Brits have been backpedaling like mad since Patel’s post went viral,   
   and insist that the foreign campaign helpers would use their annual leave   
   to volunteer for the Democrats — and that “the initiative is not organized   
   or funded by the ­Labour party.”   
      
   There’s nothing to stop foreign campaign volunteers who pay their own way,   
   but the free housing Patel seemed to promise could contravene federal law,   
   as Elon Musk suggested when he highlighted Patel’s post on his social   
   media platform, X: “This is illegal.”   
      
   The Federal Election Commission states that “contributions, donations,   
   expenditures and disbursements solicited, directed, received or made   
   directly or indirectly by or from foreign nationals in connection with any   
   federal, state or local election” are prohibited by federal law.   
      
   Hard Labour   
   Patel has deleted her post — and her entire LinkedIn page — and is not   
   answering questions on the email she helpfully provided to volunteer   
   wannabes, so we can’t tell you how she plans to “sort” the accommodations.   
      
   But lefty Brits clearly think the Democrats are in dire need of their   
   assistance.   
      
   “Let’s show those Yanks how to win elections!” Patel said in an email to   
   prospective recruits.   
      
   It’s not as if the Limeys’ chaotic, revolving-door political situation is   
   anything to be proud of. They’ve just elected their fourth prime minister   
   in two years: Patel’s old boss, Keir Starmer.   
      
   The new Labour PM owes his victory less to his own dubious leadership   
   qualities than to a split in the conservative vote between Nigel Farage   
   populists and CINO (conservative in name only) establishment Tories — the   
   type of split Harris is trying in vain to foster here with her embrace of   
   reviled Never-Trumpers like Liz Cheney.   
      
   Imagine if Trump-friendly parties in Hungary or Israel announced they were   
   sending over 100 volunteers to campaign for the GOP. All hell would break   
   loose.   
      
   Instead, all we have are the usual “Republicans pounce” stories. Ho hum.   
      
   “Labour for Kamala” is a joke, but it is on par with the rest of the   
   fading Harris campaign.   
      
   All they have left is what Biden had — demonizing Trump — and enlisting   
   the help of foreigners.   
      
   More disturbing on the foreign meddling front was the visit by Ukrainian   
   President Vlodomyr Zelensky to a munitions plant in the crucial swing   
   state of Pennsylvania last month, just as early voting was starting.   
      
   The Biden-Harris administration used military assets to fly Zelensky into   
   Biden’s hometown of Scranton on an Air Force C-17 on Sept. 22, where he   
   was met by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and guarded by the manpower-   
   challenged Secret Service.   
      
   Photographs showed Zelensky signing artillery shells alongside Shapiro, a   
   Kamala surrogate once considered as her potential running mate, and   
   Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who is running for re-election in a tough race   
   against Trump ally Dave McCormick. No Republicans were invited.   
      
   Zelensky’s visit could only be read as a partisan political endorsement of   
   Harris, particularly as he had just criticized Trump and running mate JD   
   Vance in an interview with the New Yorker.   
      
   House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) branded the visit foreign “election   
   interference” in an irate letter to Zelensky because it “was in a   
   politically contested battleground state, was led by a top political   
   surrogate for Kamala Harris, and failed to include a single Republican   
   because — on purpose — no Republicans were invited.”   
      
   “The tour was clearly a partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats   
   and is clearly election interference,” Johnson said.   
      
   The Heritage Foundation alleges that the Zelensky photo op was an   
   impeachable offense by Harris and Biden and is suing the administration   
   for all communications relating to the visit.   
      
   Foreign fumbling   
   Trump went on sensibly to meet Zelensky in cordial fashion at New York’s   
   Trump Tower, because he knows that ending the war in Ukraine is too   
   important for petty partisan games.   
      
   The Democrats keep accusing Trump of enlisting foreign election   
   interference, most recently scraping the Russia-gate barrel with a   
   ridiculous story peddled by Bob Woodward and Never-Trumper Dan Coats, a   
   former director of national intelligence.   
      
   Their theory is that Vladimir Putin “must be” blackmailing Trump.   
      
   It doesn’t take Trump flipping burgers at McDonald’s to know that Harris   
   is cooked.   
      
   Marxist sins of the fathers   
   Regular reader “Dublin” puts forward an interesting theory: “The fathers   
   of Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and [ex-Obama adviser] David Axelrod   
   were, or are, Marxist.   
      
   “Harris is estranged from her father, Axelrod’s dad [who was registered to   
   vote as a Communist, Axelrod divulged in his memoir ‘Believer’] tragically   
   committed suicide, and Obama did not know his [Kenyan socialist] father.”   
      
   Buttigieg, an only child, was close to his father, the late Marxist   
   professor Joseph Buttigieg, who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto   
   and “dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of
