Shideler: Drones are swarming U.S. military bases, and our incompetent bureaucracy won’t do anything about it

By Kyle Shideler, Commentary | The Federalist Despite prevailing public and political wisdom that removing homeless encampments is necessary to reduce crime in an area, a new national study looking specifically at Denver’s crime rates after sweeps found the narrative was, in fact, mostly false. “There is no evidence that sweeps make our community safer,” said Pranav Padmanabhan, the Denver-based lead author of the study published Wednesday in the national Journal of Urban Health. Padmanabhan is a graduate student in Public Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and one of four authors affiliated with the medical school. The fifth is with the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST Editor’s note: O...

NY Times’ DEI wake-up is better late than never

Quinn Sullivan: While some choose ‘nice guys,’ let’s side with the fighters

By Michael Quinn Sullivan | Commentary, Texas Scorecard It has become all the rage within the woke circles of evangelicalism for “conservative” pastors to take Donald Trump to task in a way they never have with other occupants of—or aspirants to—the White House. They focus on his style without considering results or substance. This isn’t surprising since that’s how many operate in their own ministries. They want us focused on how they play the right music, have fun social groups, or are aspiring members of the new intelligentsia. They hope we will ignore the scripturally irrelevant self-help pablum dispensed from their pulpits. The real problem is that too many pastors and other church leaders are threatened by a “profane” businessman who delivered on his promises to accomplish th...

Haitian migration roils town in key battleground state with signs of pro-Trump support on the rise

By Adam Shaw  | Fox News A small Pennsylvania town has been thrown into a national conversation about immigration into the U.S, after former President Trump pointed to it as a victim of mass Haitian migration --with some residents saying they believe the town is now backing the former president in November. "The small 4,000-person town of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, have you heard of it?" Trump said in September in Tucson, Arizona. "What a beautiful name, but it's not so beautiful now. It has experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris." Charleroi, in Washington County, is a small town by the Monongahela River, that has seen a significant influx of immigrants -- particularly from Haiti -- in recent years. But the extent of that in...

Gallup poll finds majority of Americans feel worse off now than four years ago under Trump

By Wendell Husebø | Breitbart A majority of Americans (52 percent) feel worse off today than four years ago under former President Donald Trump, Gallup polling found Friday. Four years ago the nation was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which greatly impacted the economy and the lives of millions of Americans. Despite the crises, Americans believe they were better off. Costs increased by about 20 percent across the board after the Biden-Harris administration assumed office and instituted “Bidenomics.” Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal. Gallup reported its findings, predominantly shaped by soaring costs: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBAR...

Hezbollah declares ‘New phase’ of terror against Israel after its leadership is decimated

By John Hayward | Breitbart Eager to demonstrate that it is capable of fighting after losing many of its top leaders, the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah on Friday announced it will begin “the transition to a new and escalating phase in the confrontation with the Israeli enemy.” The Hezbollah statement said the decision to enter this nebulous new phase was made “based on the directives of the Resistance Command.” The terrorists promised that their new strategy “will be reflected in the developments and events of the coming days.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Volleyball team risks forfeiting a championship to stand for the ‘future of women’s sports’

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | Daily Signal The women of the University of Nevada at Reno volleyball team plan to defy their school by refusing to compete against a team with a biological male player. “We are risking our main goal, which is a Mountain West championship,” University of Nevada women’s volleyball team captain and outside hitter Sia Liilii told The Daily Signal. “A team is a group that bands together to reach a common goal, and that is the purpose of our spot-on the team. No one wants to lose and put that at risk, but this is bigger than wins and losses.” “It is the future of women’s sports,” she explained. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

‘Foreign interference’: UK Socialist Party reportedly planned to send activists to campaign for Harris

By Jake Smith | Daily Caller A foreign socialist political party was reportedly planning to send scores of operatives to the U.S. to seemingly campaign on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, according to multiple reports. The United Kingdom’s (U.K.) Labour Party, currently in control of the country’s government and headed by self-admitted socialist Kier Starmer, has already had some interactions with the Harris campaign ahead of the November U.S. elections. Labour Party Head of Operations Sofia Patel announced on Wednesday that roughly 100 current and former party staff planned to fly to the U.S. in the coming weeks to campaign for Harris, according to multiple posts on Patel’s LinkedIn profile that have now been deleted.

Democrats concerned Harris has ‘until the end of this week’ to reach undecided voters

By Naomi Lim | Washington Examiner Democrats are worried the window for Vice President Kamala Harris to persuade undecided voters is closing despite her campaign’s more aggressive strategy. Harris is encountering difficulties connecting with members of the traditional Democratic base, including black and Latino men, and those undecided voters could decide the election. With less than three weeks until Nov. 5, Democrats, including South Carolina state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, concede the “persuasion piece” of the 2024 election “is over,” or it will be “by the end of this week.” “People will have made up their minds,” Harpootlian told the Washington Examiner. “I don’t think anybody’s going to walk into that voting booth or two days ...
