Supreme Court docket includes ghost guns, a capital case and transgender rights

By Lindsay Whitehurst | CBS 11 News via the AP The Supreme Court is taking the bench again on Monday, ready to hear cases on ghost guns, a death sentence and transgender rights. The docket doesn’t have quite as many blockbuster cases on its docket as it did last term, when its rulings included an opinion granting broad immunity to former president Donald Trump. Still, it’s possible that the conservative-majority court could yet be asked to intervene in election disputes after the ballots are cast in November. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS 11 NEWS

One-year anniversary of Oct. 7 attacks arrives with lasting trauma for Israelis, American Jews

By Danielle Wallace | Fox News Life in Israel one year after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks is far from a return to normal, as one expert explained to Fox News Digital what it's like dealing with the psychological fallout of the massacre while living near an active war zone – and even the lasting consequences for American Jews 12 months later. Dr. David Fox, director of crisis and trauma services for Chai Lifeline International, a Jewish nonprofit and network supporting families living with illness or loss, said he’s traveled to Israel multiple times over the last year to meet with hostages' families and consult with survivors' families on the ground.  "I think Oct. 7 will remain seared into the consciousness of Jews and of Israelis," Fox told Fox News Digital.

Pennsylvania set voter registration site to go dark same day as Oct. 5 Butler rally

By Emma Colton  | Fox News Conservatives blasted Pennsylvania's Department of State this month for scheduling a system maintenance update to its voter registration website the same day former President Trump returned to Butler, where he survived an assassination attempt in July. The operation would have taken the site offline for several hours during the same time frame the Trump campaign expected to register voters. The department, however, moved the window of time for maintenance to later in the night amid an early outcry. "The PA State Department voter registration website will be unavailable on Saturday, October 5th, the day that President Trump will be triumphantly returning to the site of the assassination attempt in Butler County, PA. W/ all eyes on PA, the site w...

Internet roasts Politico for claiming Vance’s beard shows ‘toxic masculinity’ while Walz’s eyes show ‘passion’

By Carmen Schober | Evie After JD Vance stole the show on Tuesday, Politico scrambled to help out Harris-Walz, and the best they could come up with was turning Vance's beard into a weapon of patriarchal terror. “One of the first bits of nonverbal communication to appear in the debate was on JD Vance’s face: his beard," they wrote. "As Politico Magazine has noted before, Vance is the first White House wannabe to wear facial hair in 80 years. Our appearance is fundamental to our body language, and research indicates that voters see beards as (surprise, surprise) more masculine. That can be positive to some, reading as strength and competence. But to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals." READ THE FU...

Harris touts $157M for civilians in Lebanon while many Helene victims wait for relief

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday touted that her and President Joe Biden’s administration was sending $157 million in humanitarian aid to civilians in Lebanon, after announcing just $750 for the immediate needs of individual Hurricane Helene victims. She even added the $157 million infusion would bring the total U.S. support to Lebanon in one year to “over $385 million.” For perspective, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced on Oct. 4 it has provided $45 million in disaster relief thus far: $23 million to people in Florida; $17 million to North Carolina; and $4.5 million to South Carolina. This is while thousands of Americans lost their homes, businesses, belongings, pets — and in some cases fami...

Spirit stock tumbles amid bankruptcy talks

By Veronika Bondarenko | The Street Despite repeated reassurances that Spirit Airlines  (SAVE)  would be able to recover from rising debt and a blocked acquisition by JetBlue Airways  (JBLU) , the airline is now talking to bondholders about a restructuring plan in which a Chapter 11 filing is a possibility.  The news, initially broken by The Wall Street Journal late on Oct. 3, sent shares of the low-cost carrier tumbling more than 40% in after-hours trading to $1.36. At last check Friday the stock was trading at $1.53, off 32% from the Thursday regular-session close at $2.24. The Thursday close reflected an 86% drop this year.

Trump set to hold ’emotional’ rally in Butler, site of assassination attempt

By Brett Samuels  | The Hill Former President Trump is set to return to Butler, Pa., for what is likely to be a highly charged rally, nearly three months after a bullet grazed his ear at the same site in an attempted assassination. The former president told NewsNation this week he felt he had an “obligation” to return to the site of the shooting, which killed one rallygoer. “We never finished what we were supposed to do. And I said that I said that day when I was shot, I said, we’re coming back. We’re going to come back,” Trump said. The Butler shooting upended the presidential campaign and, along with a second alleged assassination attempt on Trump last month, has thrust the Secret Service into the political spotlight.

Murray: ‘Fact check’ has become just another word for censorship

By Douglas Murray | Commentary, New York Post “Fact-checking” is like “fake news”: something that is now entirely in the eye of the beholder. At the vice presidential debate this week, the CBS moderators once again tried to show that they were the fair and impartial people in the room Except that — as with the Trump-Harris debate — they only seemed interested in fact-checking in one direction. Against the Republican. On Tuesday night, the subject of Springfield, Ohio, once again came up. And once again, Springfield revealed one of the big problems of this media era.

Can you stop calls and texts from political campaigns? Here’s the rules.

By Samantha Jarpe | Fox 31 News If you have received a political text or call in recent weeks, you may be wondering how to make it stop, or what you can do to prevent them in the future. One thing that you may have heard of is the “National Do Not Call Registry,” which is an opt-in list created and run by the federal government. Registered telemarketers are legally not allowed to contact anyone on this list for sales purposes, and can face heavy fines for ignoring it. There is one notable exception: Political calls and texts. This means that campaigns or affiliated groups can contact people through calls or texts regardless of whether they consented to it, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
