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. The focus group represents a rare sampling of swing state undecided voters who are not generally asked their opinions by the establishment media. Harris opted to close her campaign by claiming that former President Donald Trump is a “fascist” who will rule as a hitlerian tyrant. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

‘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...

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.

Duke: In a turnout election, this is the tale of two ground games

By Amber Duke | Commentary, The Spectator In the past two months, the Harris-Walz campaign has texted five times asking me to join its door-knocking efforts in Virginia. I am a young woman living in Northern Virginia, so I am statistically likely to be a Democrat. But a data file of reasonable quality would also tell you that I have voted in every Republican primary since 2012, that I am a weekly Mass-attending Catholic and that I am married: three signs that I am probably not going to spend my weekend pounding the pavement for Kamala. This is anecdotal evidence, but it suggests to me that contrary to mainstream media reports, the Harris-Walz campaign doesn’t have the most sophisticated ground-game operation.

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

By Guy Benson | Commentary, Townhall.com 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.  Figures in both major political parties and across the political spectrum bear some responsibility for that reality, including both her and her opponent.  Part of the polarization and acrimony is stoked and fueled for cynical purposes.  But a lot of it is simply a reflection of profound differences on policies and values.  Voters have divergent views on what they want the country to look like, what sort of leaders t...

Existing home sales fall to 14-year low as home affordability crisis squeezes American families

By John Carney | Breitbart Home sales fell to the lowest level in 14 years, as high home prices, inflation-depleted savings, still-elevated mortgage rates, and election uncertainty kept buyers on the sidelines Sales of existing homes—which make up most real estate transactions in the U.S.—fell by one percent to an annual rate of 3.84 million in September, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. Economists had forecast a stronger 3.9 million sales figure for the month. Sales fell by about 2.5 percent in the prior month. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Ex-girlfriend comes forward to accuse Doug Emhoff of domestic violence

By John Nolte | Breitbart An ex-girlfriend of America’s Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, has come forward to accuse the man who hopes to be history’s first First Gentleman of physically assaulting her in 2012. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the woman, who is remaining anonymous for obvious reasons (we’ve all seen what the corporate media and Democrats do to women whose accusations — no matter how credible — threaten the left’s hold on power), says she decided to come forward for two reasons. The first is that Emhoff, though a spokesman, denied he hit her. The second, per the Daily Mail, is that “his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became too much for her.” “What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the ...

New report reveals massive number of illegal immigrants benefiting from Biden-Harris admin’s ‘quiet amnesty’

By Adam Shaw | Fox News Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants are staying in the U.S. "indefinitely" after their cases were dismissed or closed, or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the necessary documentation, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report being released on Thursday. "Through administrative maneuvering at both the Justice Department and DHS, the Biden-Harris Administration has already ensured that nearly 1 million illegal aliens can remain in the United States without the possibility of deportation—and that trend shows no sign of stopping," the report by the House majority on the committee, first obtained by Fox News Digital, says. When illegal immigrants are encountered, they can be put into removal proceedings by which they w...
