Angela Li and Vivrd Prasanna have achieved the pinnacle of a public university education — she a senior at UCLA, he a freshman at UC Berkeley. Both are children of immigrants, with Li’s parents from China and Prasanna’s from India. *** But when it comes to Proposition 16, the Tuesday ballot measure that would once again allow affirmative action in public education, contracting and hiring, the two UC students and their families sharply diverge. *** Their diverse views reflect the complexity of the affirmative action issue among Asian Americans, who represent more than 50 ethnic subgroups with varying politics, histories...

We live in Northwest Phoenix, AZ. A lot of fireworks were set off on Halloween. We had not noticed fireworks being a part of Halloween during prior years. We are now hearing fireworks, again, tonight. First, is anyone else noticing fireworks in their neighborhoods? Second, can anyone imagine what would occasion fireworks? I am concerned that maybe we are being conditioned to hearing explosive sounds in time for the election.

WASHINGTON, DC, November 1 – Dozens of leaked internal documents and Zoom call video footage were made public today describing plans by progressive activists and federal workers to disrupt and destabilize Tuesday’s US election outcome, including plans to “shut down the White House.” The documents and footage can be viewed at a new website http://www.sunriseexposed.com/ or https://www.exposesunrise.com/ and will be regularly updated with additional content during the next 48 hours. All content has been handed over to law enforcement. The information was leaked by a disaffected insider of the “Sunrise Movement,” part of a loose but extremely coordinated network of...

President Donald Trump brought the Reverend Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham, on stage to pray for him in North Carolina in his shortest campaign rally of the day. ‘I would like to take a moment and pray for this man,’ Graham said, giving a short prayer as the president and his supporters bowed their heads. Trump started off his third event of Sunday – in Hickory, North Carolina – praising the crowd of thousands who came out to see him. -snip- And then he brought back one of his oldies but a crowd pleaser: He read...

Democrats seem to have a problem with keeping their narratives straight. That’s been the case ever since Barack Obama entered the White House and has never ceased. But there’s a bit of irony in their latest poor choices. Joe Biden’s last rally in Pennsylvania will feature Lady Gaga, a vocal anti-fracking activist. Pennsylvania’s economy is very dependent on fracking, which is why Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, have been backtracking for months against their Democratic primary stances that fracking is bad. While not going all-in for fracking they’ve done everything they can to shed the image of them...

The man in the White House is too old to govern. He is incoherent. He is rich. He has been accused of sexual misconduct. He is corrupt. And worst of all, he is white. There's one thing we all must rally to do to stop the old, incoherent, corrupt white man: we must elect a different old, incoherent, corrupt white man. It's the only way to save the country. Just take a look at Trump: nothing he says makes any sense. He lies all the time. We must stop this by electing Joe Biden, who also does not make any...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) outlined her radical views in a new interview, going after President Trump for allegedly paying only $750 in taxes, and suggesting that “these motherf***ers” get away with paying such low amounts while opposing publicly-funded programs like free college tuition. In a wide-ranging interview and photoshoot with Vanity Fair, AOC is asked to discuss the New York Times report that claimed the President had paid so little in taxes. That NYT report also noted that Trump “made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe — $1 million for 2016 and $4.2 million for...

We’re now two days away from Election Day, and Joe Biden leads in both national and state polls. At this point, President Trump needs a big polling error in his favor if he's going to win — and as editor-in-chief Nate Silver writes, a 2016-sized polling error just isn’t going to cut it. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still a path for Trump. Trump might be the underdog, but bigger polling errors have happened in the past, and there’s a difference between a 10 percent chance of winning and a 0 percent chance. A 10 percent chance of winning,...

JERUSALEM—Authorities are investigating after witnesses accused a local religious nut named Simon Peter and several others of hosting an unauthorized super spreader event in an enclosed room in Jerusalem. Experts say the event, which was not authorized by the local Jewish or Roman authorities, may put everyone in the area at risk for infectious diseases such as leprosy. "This is completely inexcusable," said local magistrate Biggus Tookus. "We have found that there were at least 11 people at this event. No one's address was recorded at the door and we don't know where they are now." One medical expert named...

A 29-year-old Tunisian man was arrested on Saturday in Grasse, and two other men aged 63 and 25 were later taken in for questioning from the same address. They join two men aged 33 and 35 picked up on Saturday and a 47-year-old who has been held since Thursday. Police say data from two telephones belonging to the alleged attacker, Brahim Aouissaoui, and CCTV footage suggest he arrived in Nice late on 27 October on a train from Rome, between 24-48 hours before the attack on Thursday morning. As well as the large knife Aouissaoui allegedly used to kill the...

President Trump’s rallies, pandemic or no pandemic, continue to attract boisterous, energetic crowds — supporters who represent just the tip of an ignored majority that the president says will deliver a second term this week. Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden, meanwhile, draws smaller and quieter crowds, often to drive-in rallies where supporters are socially distanced and voice their approval with car horns.He says crowd size doesn’t matter because there is a quarantined majority of Americans who are eager to oust Mr. Trump and are more likely to heed the advice of health officials about wearing masks and avoiding large gatherings...

Campus Reform recently asked students to react to a Joe Biden quote from 2014 where he claimed "there's nothing special about being American." Most students disagreed with Biden and added that presidential candidates should show national pride.

President Trump had an astonishing number of events planned across multiple states in the final days of his 2020 campaign, which continued to outpace those hosted by his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. On Sunday alone, Trump planned to hold rallies in Michigan, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina and Georgia. He is expected to hold another five events on Monday. Biden had two planned stops in Pennsylvania on Sunday, including an event and a fundraiser. He is scheduled to appear in Cleveland on Monday and then return to the Keystone State.

U.S.—Tucker Carlson says UPS lost his Hunter Biden documents. UPS has reported that the driver who misplaced the incriminating evidence was a Jewish-American delivery man named Hillzekiah Clintonstein. "I seem to have lost all the evidence on Hunter Biden - oy vey!" he said in a gruff voice as he stroked his long, black beard. "I was just on my way to synagogue when I realized it was gone. I thought I had left it under my pile of dreidels. I even checked under my yarmulke, but it wasn't there! Oh no!" Clintonstein further said he'll look for it every...

Today it is 230 days since the institution of the infamous “Flatten the Curve.” 15 days, they told us, for 15 days/roughly 2 weeks we need to work from home, close non-essential business, cancel concerts, baby showers, bingo games, etc., yada, yada, you know “the thing” (to show my solidarity with a certain presidential candidate) in order to give hospitals a chance to gear up for huge, terrible, overwhelming waves of ‘rona patients. 15 days. Instead, 15 days has now become 230 days. We can argue as to the exact start date of the implementation of Operation Curve Flattening. I...

Blockbuster video, the video the stooges on TV network news won't ever show anyone. I'd say the mother of all caravans. I'd posted another video of this even earlier, but this version is flat out amazing. Historic really. The enthusiasm is supercharged. This is reportedly the staging area of a caravan that several sources said covered 96 miles in AZ.
