Vice President Kamala Harris edges former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, as more voters see Harris as the candidate who will help the middle class, and Hispanics and independents swing in her direction. The new Fox News national survey finds a 3 percentage-point shift among registered voters in the 2024 presidential contest since mid-August. Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50%-48%. For reference, in July, Trump was ahead by 1 point over President Biden. Each of those differences falls within the margin of error. This marks the first time Harris...

Iran's president committed his country to deeper ties with Russia to counter Western sanctions on Tuesday, state media reported, amid U.S. worries that Tehran is supplying Moscow missiles to hit Ukraine. Russia's top security official Sergei Shoigu arrived in the Iranian capital days after meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang. More than two and a half years into its conflict with Ukraine, Moscow has been seeking to develop ties with the two nations, both hostile to the United States. "My government will seriously follow ongoing cooperation and measures to upgrade the level of relations between the two...

In a huge blow to cheating Democrats, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday ruled that undated ballots or improperly dated ballots won’t be counted. Democrats heavily relied on mail-in ballots in 2020 to get Joe Biden across the finish line. Recall that President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden by more than 750,000 votes in Pennsylvania at midnight on Election Day in 2020, but Democrats in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia kept counting ‘mail-in ballots’ for two weeks without GOP monitors present. Joe Biden ‘won’ Pennsylvania by approximately 80,000 votes after Democrats used mail-in ballots to cheat. Last month a lower court...

The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the “bipartisan” border bill, covered in my last column. (Quotes on “bipartisan” because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.) Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump!

"Oops!... He Holocausted again," is one historian's take on Adolf Hitler and World War II, as presented yesterday on Tucker Carlson's X show. -snip- According to Cooper — and Carlson nodded along the entire time — Winston Churchill was perhaps "the chief villain of the Second World War" and "primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did." It's true that Hitler did not want or expect Britain to fight. He wanted Britain to acquiesce to German dominance of Europe from the Urals to Gibraltar and subsume the UK to Nazi interests. This is all a matter of historical record....

It’s a rather open phenomenon that Donald Trump is running a nominally pro-life campaign at best and an actively pro-abortion campaign at worst, causing many Christians in the abortion abolitionist camp to withhold their support of the Republican president who once had the best record on the life issue. However, a recent question by Donald Trump gives the impression that Trump supports the pro-abortion amendment in Florida. Trump wiggles, but the most coherent strain in his answer is an opposition to Florida’s current 6-week abortion bill, which Governor Ron DeSantis signed. Trump insists that more time is needed than that,...

As the back-to-school school season kicks off, the Vermont Department of Health is encouraging school employees and others to refrain from referring to children as a "son" or "daughter" and instead embrace gender-neutral terminology. In a Facebook post Wednesday, the department declared, "The language we use matters." "When talking about family, it's important to use terms that cover the many versions of what family can look like," the department stated. A picture accompanying the Facebook post featured a few examples of what constituted "inclusive language for families." The agency advised the use of the terms "child" or "kid" to refer...

More than 200 former aides to the three GOP presidential nominees who preceded former President Trump in 2016 — former President George W. Bush, former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) — endorsed Vice President Harris on Monday. The majority of the group also endorsed President Biden in 2020. The group wrote a letter announcing the endorsement, USA Today first reported. The letter said it was a reunion of sorts from 2020, though it added that additional Bush alumni in particular were added to the group this cycle that are opposing Trump and backing Harris. “Of course,...

The Turin Shroud has been at the center of debate for centuries with many believing it was the cloth used to wrap Jesus's body after the crucifixion. ====================================================================== Scientists are inching closer to determining whether the famed Turin Shroud is indeed the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped. Experts have now stated that the linen can be traced back to the beginning of the AD era, aligning with the time when Jesus was crucified. The shroud, which bears a faint outline of a bearded man believed to be an imprint left by Jesus's body, was first displayed in 1350 and...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), once a darling of the Democrat Party and now a party pariah, is reportedly skipping the 2024 Democratic National Convention.The sensational senator, whose sudden apostatizing while in office left his fellow Democrats livid, said the reason isn't Israel-related.According to what Fetterman told The Free Press's senior editor Peter Savodnik, "[I]t has nothing—literally nothing—to do with him scotch-taping photos of the Israeli hostages to his Senate office walls. Or attacking fellow Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar for falsely blaming a hospital bombing in Gaza on Israel. ('It's truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame...

Kamala Harris’s running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), quipped during an interview with CNN last week that he will buy a “ladder factory” if former President Donald J. Trump is reelected and moves to complete the wall on the U.S. southern border. The Minnesota Democrat’s comment came as he was pushing back against Anderson Cooper’s observation that Harris’s radical campaign promises during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary could come back to haunt her.“ You know, he talks about this wall; I always say, let me know how high it is,” Walz sarcastically remarked. “If it’s twenty-five feet, then I’ll...
