Washington Post declines to endorse in presidential race, leaving staffers ‘shocked’

By Ryan Mills | National Review For the first time in 36 years the Washington Post will not be endorsing a candidate for president, the paper’s publisher announced on Friday in a move that shocked and angered some current and former staffers who have been critical of former president Donald Trump. Publisher William Lewis announced the decision in an opinion piece on the organization’s website. Lewis said the Post is “returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates” this year and in all future presidential elections, repeatedly noting that the Post is an “independent newspaper.” In his piece, Lewis quoted the paper’s editorial board in 1960, when it similarly explained that the paper wouldn’t be endorsing a presidential candid...

McConnell and Johnson tell Harris to stop ‘fascist’ talk amid threats to Trump’s life

By Tracy Ross | Washington Examiner Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) accused Vice President Kamala Harris of paving the way for more political violence with her campaign rhetoric on Friday. The Republican leaders said in a joint statement that the Democrat’s branding of former President Donald Trump as a “fascist” has invited more assassination attempts and run counter to her prior condemnation of such violence. “These words have proven hollow. In the weeks since that second sobering reminder, the Democratic nominee for president of the United States has only fanned the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus,” McConnell and Johnson said. “Her most recent and most reckless invo...

Undecided voters in key state say Harris’ orange-man-bad ‘fascist’ closing message not persuasive

By Wendell Husebø | Breitbart Eight undecided Pennsylvania voters sampled in a Mark Halperin focus group believe Vice President Kamala Harris’s orange-man-bad closing message is not persuasive.

‘Let’s face it, she is not doing well,’ Trump said Thursday during a rally in Las Vegas

By Emma Colton  | Fox News Former President Donald Trump traveled to Las Vegas on Thursday evening for a Turning Point Action rally where he declared that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is "imploding" in a speech that focused on his tax cut plans.  "[Harris is] actually imploding, if you take a look. Because, look, I'm not supposed to say it, but we are leading by so much," Trump said Thursday evening in Las Vegas to cheers from the crowd.   "Now, we're leading by a lot in Nevada. We're leading by a lot in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. Even states that are typically never in play for 50, 60, 70 years …But the fact is that states, other states too, big states, are all in play and they like us. But you know what? They think she is grossly in...

With its control of migrant flow, Mexico seeks to play key role in US election

By David Agren , Kellen McGovern Jones , Virginia Allen  | The Daily Signal Jairo Salvador Salinas, a migrant from Honduras, was riding a northbound train toward the Mexico-U.S. border. But Mexican immigration officials detained him at a checkpoint near the city of Monterrey, just 100 miles south of the border. Instead of being deported back to Central America, he was put on a flight to southern Mexico. “I don’t have any support here,” he said from a shelter for migrants in Villahermosa, a city on the Gulf Coast closer to his native Honduras than the U.S. border.  Migrant encounters at the U.S. southwestern border have fallen precipitously throughout 2024 as migrants like Salinas are increasingly thwarted on their journeys through Mexico.

Biden judge orders Virginia to put more than 1,500 ‘self-identified’ noncitizens back on the voter rolls

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist On Friday, a Democrat-appointed federal judge ordered Virginia to put more than 1,500 allegedly “self-identified” noncitizens back on the state’s voter rolls ahead of the November contest. “Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals — who self-identified themselves as noncitizens — back onto the voter rolls,” Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin said in a statement. The order came in response to a request from the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ), which sued the commonwealth last week to prevent its elections department from removing noncitizens and other ineligible registrants from the voter rolls before Nov. 5.

Touchberry: Harris aids Trump’s closing argument she’s Biden 2.0

By Ramsey Touchberry, Commentary | Washington Examiner Kamala Harris is selling herself as the “change” candidate, but beyond broad strokes, the vice president has offered scant details when pressed in recent weeks over which policies she would have handled differently than President Joe Biden. Harris’s case hinges on a twofold argument: The 60-year-old represents a new generation and differing life experiences that draw contrast to 81-year-old Biden and will influence her policies in a new direction. But Harris’s lack of specifics has fed into the narrative from Republicans and former President Donald Trump that she symbolizes a Biden 2.0. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result,” a new Trump campaign ad states.
