The CD Media Big Data Poll finds Democrat John Fetterman leading Republican Mehmet Oz by 43.8% to 40.0% in a quickly tightening race for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. That lead is now just outside the sampling error of the survey and comes as former President Donald Trump holds to the state to rally for both Dr. Oz and Doug Mastriano. By education, Dr. Oz leads among working class voters with no college degree 45.4% to 33.0% and among voters with some college or a 2-year degree, 42.1% to 36.5%. Fetterman leads among voters with a 4-year degree 51.0% to 39.3%...

The CD Media Big Data Poll finds Democrat Josh Shapiro and Republican Doug Mastriano locked in a tight race for governor in Pennsylvania. Shapiro holds a statistically insignificant lead at 43.9% with Mastriano taking 43.2%. The Keystone State is one of the most crucial battleground states and which party controls the governor’s mansion is critical to the 2024 presidential election. Men back Mastriano 58.1% to 29.4%, while women back Shapiro by a 57.8 to 29.0 margin. By party, Shapiro takes 86% of Democrats against Mastriano, who takes 77.5% of Republicans and is leading significantly among independents, 47.4% to 30.2%. By...

I created a video from Biden's speech. I increased the speed, dubbed a clip from a Hitler speech to replace his, and added some menacing music in the background. Thanks to the red background they used, I already had a menacing clip to begin with. Thus editing the rest was a piece of cake. We all agree that the true Fascists are the Democrats, and Biden being their leader makes him the modern day Hitler. I uploaded it to Rumble, since YouTube has been removing my videos. Seems like I'm being slowly removed from most leftist controlled social sites. Anyway,...

The CD Media Big Data Poll finds Donald Trump leads Joe Biden 46.6% to 40.0% in Pennsylvania, one of the most crucial battleground states. The 45th President became the first Republican to carry the Keystone State since 1988 when he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, but lost it to the 46th President by less than 1.2% in 2020. “Ahead of both 2016 and 2020, every poll we conducted in the state pointed to a very close race,” Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris, stated. “Now, it’s not at all that close. Even after being raided by the FBI, the former...

On Friday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky responded to a question on whether the handling of schools during the coronavirus pandemic was a failure by the CDC by stating that she was “not in the CDC when schools were closed.” And that “starting in January 2021, I have said, and continued to say, schools should be the first place to open and the last place to close.” After Walensky talked about her review of the agency’s response to the pandemic, host Steve Inskeep asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:30] “I know you want to look...

While recent polling shows that Senate candidate John Fetterman is leading his Republican opponent, voter registration data indicates that the Democrat should not count Dr. Mehmet Oz out of the race just yet. On May 17, the day of the Pennsylvania primary elections, there were 4,000,436 registered Democrats and 3,450,289 registered Republicans in the state. As of August 29, a little more than three months later, there were 4,001,568 registered Democrats and 3,461,215 registered Republicans. While Pennsylvania still currently has more registered Democrats than Republicans, more than nine times more Republicans than Democrats were added in the period between the...

The German government will support the Ukrainian war effort for “as long as they need us” and no matter what public opinion of voters is on the issue, Germany’s foreign minister said on Wednesday. Appearing at the Forum 2000 conference in Prague, Annalena Baerbock of the Green Party, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the ‘traffic light’ coalition government of Olaf Scholz, said that Germany will press on with supporting Ukraine’s struggle supporting sanctions against Russia for years if necessary.

SHENZHEN - Most residents of the Chinese tech hub of Shenzhen went into a weekend lockdown on Saturday as mass Covid-19 testing kicked off in much of the city of 18 million people. The lockdown, and the suspension of bus and subway services, came into effect two days after city authorities said rumours about a lockdown were based on a "misinterpretation" of the latest Covid-19 prevention and control measures. Residents in six districts that account for the majority of the city's population will be tested twice over the weekend, helping to "minimise the impact on people's working life," the city...

As Serena Williams' her playing career ended Friday night, there's a good case to be made that she is the greatest female player of all time. Even so, facts still matter. And in extolling Serena, CNN got one fact glaringly wrong. Co-host John Berman brought on CNN sports correspondent Carolyn Manno, who claimed: "What Brianna [Keilar] said at the top, the longevity piece, is so important. Because she is in the pantheon of all-time greats. But she has outlasted Michael Jordan and Tom Brady."Serena has outlasted Tom Brady?? Serena is retiring at age 40. Tom Brady is 45, and is...

“If we elect two more senators .... We’ll protect voting rights. We’ll pass election reform and make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again!” Biden exclaimed.

A professor at Northern Illinois University (NIU) outlined to students that they all must wear masks while in his class, arguing that not wearing face masks indoors "is a manifestation of ableism and racism." "Refusing to mask indoors is a manifestation of ableism and racism, an exercise of individual privilege that tells the most vulnerable that their health and the health of their loved ones does not matter. Thus, masks are required here. They are NOT optional," a message from Northern Illinois University physics professor Jahred Adelman says, according to a photo of a projector screen from the class. The...

Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Chechen region, said on Telegram on September 3 that he deserves to take an “indefinite and long” break from his post, sparking speculation about whether he was seriously considering stepping down or seeking some favor from the Kremlin. Kadyrov, 45, has ruled Chechnya with an iron fist since 2007 and is the longest-serving leader of a Russian region. “I realized that I have been sitting in my position for a long time,” he said in a video statement peppered with laughs. “I think my time has come [to leave power]." It is unclear what...

Kyiv’s Kherson offensive is not just about retaking territory but eroding Russian will to continue its futile and costly war. The great Prussian theorist of war, Carl von Clausewitz, took it for granted that defence was the strongest form of warfare, if only because a successful attack required superior numbers. For this reason the weaker side was obliged to defend. A state stuck on the defensive might prevent enemy gains but could not achieve its own objectives. They therefore had to use the time gained by the defence to create a more favourable balance of strength. Then they could strike....

A PILOT has allegedly stolen a plane and is threatening to slam it into a Walmart, forcing police to evacuate the store, as well as nearby homes and a local Dodge dealership. Police in Tupelo, Mississippi, where the plane is flying overhead received a call from the man around 5am Saturday when he made the threats. The plane is believed to be a Beechcraft King Aire 90, and its erratic circular flight pattern was seen in online flight trackers. The police have asked people to avoid the area until the all-clear is given. "With the mobility of an airplane of...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Last month, the Boeing-designed X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle surpassed 800 days in space, eclipsing its previous endurance record. This feat was marked by the U.S. Space Force’s Space Delta 9, which operates the 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron’s X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle. Designed as part of a pilot test program aimed at showcasing technologies for reusable unmanned space tests, the X-37B remains one of the most unique aircrafts in the U.S. arsenal. The U.S. Air Force has previously flown five X-37B missions, OTV-1 through OTV-5. The platform most recently launched to Earth orbit in May 2020 on its sixth mission for...

They were leaving a social event in the south-western department of Huila when their vehicle hit a road mine. They were then shot dead in the ambush, a police spokesperson said.

Tanya Pardazi, 21, fell to her death on August 27 while completing a jump at Skydive Toronto in Innisfil, Ontario.

Skydive Toronto said in a statement posted to Facebook that Pardazi "released a quickly rotating main parachute at a low altitude without...
