Former President Donald J. Trump escalated the nativist, anti-immigration rhetoric that has animated his political career with a speech Friday in Aurora, Colo., where he repeated false and grossly exaggerated claims about undocumented immigrants that local Republican officials have refuted.For weeks, Aurora has been fending off false rumors about the city. And its conservative Republican mayor, Mike Coffman, said in a statement on Friday that he hoped to show Mr. Trump that Aurora was “a considerably safe city.”But Mr. Trump has made debunked claims about Aurora, a Denver suburb, such a central part of his stump speech that he took...

Increasingly desperate Democrats – fearing a repeat of 2016 – are resorting to a round of last-minute tactics like demanding more debates, shaming voters, changing the rules and doctoring interviews in a sign that panic may be setting in the party. Kamala Harris is making a failed attempt to debate Donald Trump again – a surefire loser of an issue – while running mate bust Tim Walz is advocating getting rid of the Electoral College, created by the Founding Fathers to give more power to smaller states. Democrats like Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey also want to rewrite the rules by...

A recent New York Times poll has revealed that black voters are shifting away from the Democratic Party more than expected. While Vice President Kamala Harris is still projected to win a majority of black votes, her support is notably lower than the level Joe Biden achieved in 2020. The poll found that eight in 10 black voters nationwide plan to vote for Harris, an increase from the 74 percent who initially backed Biden before he dropped out of the race. However, in the 2020 election, Biden secured 90 percent of the black vote, marking Harris' 80 percent as a...

A recent poll found Vice President Kamala Harris (D) is facing a significant gap pertaining to black voters. When compared to the group’s support of President Joe Biden (D) in 2020, Harris is lagging behind, the New York Times/Siena College poll found, as the Times reported on Saturday. The newspaper continued: Nearly eight out of 10 Black voters nationwide said they would vote for Ms. Harris, the poll found, a marked increase from the 74 percent of Black voters who said they would support Mr. Biden before he dropped out of the race in July. But Mr. Biden won 90...

When Finland wanted to join NATO to ward off Russian aggression, it knew it had a friend living in the White House and could count on President Biden’s support. But to ensure that the U.S. Senate would ratify its membership bid, Finland’s government decided to also seek out the president living in Florida. And so Mikko Hautala, the Finnish ambassador to the United States at the time, made a point of speaking privately with former President Donald J. Trump to persuade him of the merits of his country’s joining the alliance. The goal was to head off any opposition by...

Kamala Harris’s recent attempt to boost her presidential campaign has become a public relations nightmare, leaving top Democrats scrambling and even President Biden subtly undermining her. Harris’s whirlwind media tour launched with an unexpected appearance on Call Her Daddy, a podcast known for its provocative discussions. It was a puzzling choice that instantly raised questions about her campaign strategy. Why, many wondered, would Harris choose a podcast associated more with edgy celebrity gossip than political discourse to showcase her leadership and appeal? The decision raised eyebrows within the party and among voters, casting doubt on Harris’s sense of judgment...

A “surprise” win for former President Donald Trump in a traditionally blue state is “possible” this election cycle, James Blair, who is running the political operations for the Trump campaign, said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday. Breitbart News Saturday host Matt Boyle asked Blair what he thinks about a “possible surprise” in a state such as Virginia, New Mexico, Minnesota, New York, or New Jersey. “I know President Trump is doing another event upcoming very soon at Madison Square Garden in New York City. I know that state’s near and dear to his heart. We talked with him...

With polls indicating that only 75% of Black men say they will vote for Kamala Harris, former President Barrack Obama hit the campaign trail to berate these men for "deserting the candidate of the Party that has your back. The welfare state is the creation of the Democratic Party. It's aborting your unwanted offspring and feeding, clothing, and housing the ones that make it to birth. It's Republicans who insist that everyone ought to pull their own weight. What can you be thinking? As President Biden so wisely said during his 2020 campaign 'if you're voting for Trump, you ain't...

Iran has banned pagers and walkie-talkies on all flights, local media reported Saturday, almost a month after deadly sabotage attacks on Hezbollah members in Lebanon which were blamed on Israel. “The entry of any electronic communication device, except mobile phones, on flight cabins or…in non-accompanied cargo, has been banned,” ISNA news agency reported, citing the spokesman for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization Jafar Yazerlo. The decision came in the wake of sabotage attacks targeting members of the Iran-allied Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon that saw pagers and walkie-talkies explode in two waves on September 17 and 18, killing at least 39...

True political courage — the principled stand, the elevation of country over party pressure, the willingness to sacrifice a career to protect the common good — has become painfully rare in a polarized world. It deserves to be celebrated and nurtured whenever it appears, especially in defense of fundamental American institutions like our election system. The sad truth, too, is the country will probably need a lot more of it in the coming months.In state after state, Republicans have systematically made it harder for citizens to vote, and harder for the election workers who count those votes to do so....

Very few of us want to die. In fact, there’s an obsession in this country with staying young and looking young. Entire industries have developed around cosmetics, nutritional supplements, plastic surgery, and fitness gyms, all for the sake of staying young and staving off the natural effects of aging. I think it’s partly a refusal to embrace the inevitability of death. Along one of the roads between Steubenville (where I live) and Pittsburgh, there is a cryogenics warehouse that stores the frozen corpses and heads of persons who paid a lot of money to be preserved until medical technology is...

California regulators have blocked @SpaceX launches because they disagree with @elonmusk 's politics. This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment and a gross abuse of power, even in increasingly totalitarian California

White blobs have been washing up on the beaches of Newfoundland recently, sparking an investigation by Canadian officials. They have been described by resident Stan Tobin as doughy - "like someone had tried to bake bread and done a lousy job" - with an odour reminiscent of vegetable oil. Beachcombers on the southern tip of the Canadian province began reporting the strange substance around early September. ... Photos of the substance began cropping up on a beachcombers group online, prompting speculation that it was fungus or mold, palm oil, paraffin wax or even ambergris - a rare and valuable substance...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is supposed to be the government’s premier emergency relief organization in times of disaster, like the situation now faced by victims of Hurricane Helene’s aftermath in North Carolina and Tennessee. But according to the FEMA website, the agency now places higher priority on instituting Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity guidelines than on easing the suffering of Americans displaced by disaster. Among the goals listed in FEMA’s strategic plan are to: -Instill equity as a foundation for emergency management -Lead whole of community in climate resilience -Promote and sustain a ready FEMA & prepared nation What...

Elon Musk has showcased his army of $30,000 Tesla Optimus robots that are designed to help with household chores, prompting people to draw comparisons to the dystopian future depicted in I, Robot. In shocking and impressive footage, the humanoid robots were seen stiffly walking in single file across a stage while viewers stood jaw-dropped on the sidelines. Musk said attendees could walk up to the Optimus robots who would do things like serve drinks. 'At scale, you should be able to buy an Optimus robot for $20,000 to $30,000,' he said. 'It can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get...
