J.B. Pritzker keeps telling Illinoisans that his coronavirus mitigation efforts are guided by science. After combing though hundreds of emails and a confidential coronavirus report, the big takeaway is that scientists advising Pritzker say coronavirus test positivity rates that guide his pandemic response are unreliable. Under the heading "The Limitations Of Data We Have Today," the report states: "Changes in the total number of test-positive cases are unreliable. These numbers should not be used to determine policy." The same Pritzker pandemic metrics that a University of Chicago scientist who advises Pritzker's administration recently described to a newspaper as "not scientifically...

Sharing this video of was sent to me: Nigeria, Africa Rally for President Trump "Massive rally for President Donald Trump in Nigeria, organized by a church. This is shocking and historical, because, I have never seen anything like this"

Joe Biden's attempt to resonate with a rally crowd in Philadelphia fell flat when he claimed he was wearing Eagles football gear - but his jacket actually bore the logo of his alma mater, the Delaware Blue Hens. The Democratic presidential nominee made the gaffe during one of two rainy campaign stops he made in the City of Brotherly Love on Sunday. 'I know Philadelphia well. I married a Philly girl, by the way,' Biden told the crowd who had gathered in their cars outside the Sharon Baptist Church. 'And by the way, I've got my Eagles jacket on.' Eagle-eyed...

Boko Haram jihadists on Sunday killed 12 people and abducted seven others in a raid on a village near the northeast Nigerian town of Chibok, local sources said. Chibok is the scene of the mass kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in 2014 by Boko Haram which drew global outrage and international attention to the group. Fighters in six pickup trucks drove into Takulashi village on Sunday, 18 kilometres (12 miles) from Chibok, shooting residents and setting homes ablaze. “The terrorists killed 12 people, including two of our members who engaged them in a gunfight,” Abwaku Kabu, the leader of a local...

President Trump on Sunday night defended a group of his pickup truck driving supporters who sparked an FBI investigation by surrounding a Joe Biden campaign bus on a Texas interstate. “In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong,” the president tweeted about the Friday incident that led to at least one minor collision and prompted the Biden campaign to cancel several events in the state. “Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!” the president wrote.

November 1, 2020 If he doesn't win, it won't be because he didn't try hard enough. "President Donald Trump is spending one of the last days before Election Day engaged in a five-rally blowout across several key states where he is either trailing Joe Biden or running narrowly ahead. After visiting Michigan, Trump will travel to Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida for events there later Sunday. Meanwhile, Biden is holding a pair of events in Philadelphia" (NBC News). So Biden is traveling about 30 miles from home to give 2 events, while Trump is traveling something like 3,000 miles...

This is just embarrassing. Joe doesn't realize that the far left mob will never be satisfied and if he panders to their every wish he just alienates the mainstream. He even tells one questioner that they should 'vote for Trump'.

In what would be a first in the U.S., possession of small amounts of heroin, cocaine, LSD and other hard drugs could be decriminalized in Oregon under a ballot measure that voters are deciding on in Tuesday’s election. Instead of being arrested, going to trial and facing possible jail time, the users would have the option of paying $100 fines or attending new, free addiction recovery centers. The centers would be funded by tax revenue from retail marijuana sales in the state that was the country's first to decriminalize marijuana possession.

The left has tried to convince Americans for four years that President Trump is evil, unhinged, rude, crude and unfit for the presidency. They have tried to destroy him over and over again, but every time they think they’ve got him, he slips out of their grasp. This year, Democrats have weaponized the pandemic, the lockdowns and the deep economic recession against him. Yet, despite their perpetual pursuit, it remains entirely possible that he may win a second term. The President has a very clear and achievable path to victory.

I voted for Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican primary election, left my ballot blank in the 2016 general election, and now must decide whom to vote for this year. In several ways, I find Donald Trump over the top and offensive. I have said this on air and on Twitter. He can be too hot to handle, insulting people and often making himself the issue, diverting attention from more important policy matters. Many of my Republican friends, notably women, will not vote for him, not because they are “Republicans in name only” but because the president has given them...

*** A week before the election — and potentially weeks before the outcome is known — California Democrats are elbowing each other for the chance to sway Newsom on how to fill the state’s junior senator seat should Joe Biden and Harris (D-Calif.) head to the White House. At least a dozen California Democrats are seriously in the mix, and their supporters, donors and staffers are jostling behind the scenes to make their case. In this deep-blue state, where no Republican has won statewide in 14 years, a Senate seat could be the closest it gets to a lifetime appointment....

The Irish Times reported that he was admitted to St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin after falling ill at his home on Friday, and died shortly afterwards. Fisk won numerous awards for his coverage of the Middle East, where he reported from 1970s. But he also drew controversy for his sharp criticism of the US and Israel, and of Western foreign policy. Covering wars in the Balkans, Middle East and North Africa for UK newspapers over five decades, the New York Times described him as "probably the most famous foreign correspondent in Britain" in 2005. Born in Maidstone, Kent in 1946,...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) made a final pitch for socialist ideology two days before the presidential election, posting a video explaining the difference between “equality” and “equity” and concluding that “equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” “So there’s a big difference between equality and equity,” Harris said in a video posted to her Twitter account on Sunday. The video featured an illustration of two individuals about to climb a mountain. Each was given two ropes, which a white man used to begin climbing. The other man, who appeared to be black, was unable to reach...
