Schlichter: It’s Election Day. Let’s do this thing

This is it. It’s time. We’ve been waiting four years for this chance to take back our country, and tomorrow it happens. This is history in the making, and it is an election people will be reading about in books for the next few centuries. Hopefully, they won’t be reading it in a chapter entitled “The End of America.” Over the last couple of weeks, I wrote columns on the Golden Age that would follow the election of Trump and the unspeakable nightmare that would follow the election of Kamala. That’s the reality, that’s the choice: triumph or tragedy. We are at a fork in the road. Civilizations have come to these forks as long as there have been civilizations, and eventually, every civilization takes the wrong one. We can only hope that America’s time is not yet up.

Benson: Kamala Harris sidesteps free speech concerns while advocating for top-down control

In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris lamented America’s divisive politics, arguing that her desire to ‘turn the page’ is really about “closing the page” — whatever that means — on “an era that suggests Americans are divided.”  It’s true that Americans are divided.

Overbeck: Will Americans vote for their own survival or choose Trump hatred?

I have a bumper sticker on my car that asks, “Had enough? Vote Republican!” That’s really the critical question on which the presidential election hinges. Have voters had enough of crime, unsafe streets, high inflation, the erosion of their savings accounts, unaffordable gas, groceries and homes; have they had enough of the Democrats’ destruction of their way of life and pursuit of happiness?  Put another way, will voters take the rational route of voting for their self-interest and against the ruination of their happiness? Or will they ignore their family’s self-preservation and fall for the rabid pushers of orange man bad Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Biden and Harris’ response to Hurricane Helene is part of a disturbing pattern

Hurricane Helene dissipated over the weekend, but not before smashing into Florida’s Big Bend as a category four storm, inflicting “biblical” damage across the southern United States.
