To the shock of the state of North Carolina, where my wife Nancy and I have lived since 2003, Hurricane Helene wreaked massive devastation, taking at least 118 lives with at least 92 still missing. No one saw this coming, and it has brought unimaginable suffering to whole communities living in the mountains of our state, where horrific, unprecedented flooding wiped out little towns and destroyed countless homes, businesses, and roads. To this moment, many residents remain without power, and it is almost impossible to access some of the hardest hit areas.

Houthi rebels have attacked civilian vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The group was suspected in an attack in August. The strikes were the first...

The so-called Dolton “Dictator” wants to stay in power. Tiffany Henyard, the self-proclaimed “super mayor” of Dolton, Illinois announced her reelection bid Tuesday — despite facing countless controversies during her first term that have landed her under federal scrutiny. “Attention, Attention, Attention, Attention,” she said on Facebook. “I am running for Reelection for Mayor of Dolton.” But Henyard, who clinched her first term in office in 2021, hasn’t done much fundraising leading up to Tuesday’s announcement. Her campaign, Friends of Tiffany Henyard, didn’t record any contributions or expenses between July and September, according to the most recent campaign disclosure report.

Kamala Harris runs commercials that identify her plans for the economy. The United States has experienced high inflation caused by the government printing press during the Biden-Harris years. Her solutions include a mix of scapegoating and even more federal spending. (1) These plans include “going after price-gougers.” Harris and her handlers do not acknowledge the government printing press as the cause of inflation. They scapegoat unnamed “price-gougers” the same way that the Soviet Union used to scapegoat “black marketeers.” One of Ayn Rand’s fictional enforcers in We the Living (depicting life in 1920s Soviet Russia) finally raised the obvious question...

The most shocking news story of the year won’t be identified as such on any major news network. It wasn’t the blockbuster announcement of drug and pedophilia allegations around music mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs; you expect such things from the rap crowd. It wasn’t the announcement that the powerful longshoremen’s union, run by Harold “I Will Cripple You!” Daggett decided to postpone their multi-coastal port strike -- after just three days -- until after the election; you expect union bosses and Democrat politicians to do favors for each other, they’ve been partners in crime for a century. No. The...

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox struck down seven new election rules on Wednesday, The Superior Court of Fulton County has effectively nullified crucial voting rules established by Georgia’s State Election Board (SEB) with its recent ruling. The SEB had previously implemented rules that required enhanced verification measures, such as signature matching and video surveillance of ballot drop boxes, all in an effort to curb election fraud and provide confidence in election results. But Judge Cox’s ruling, which declares these rules unconstitutional and void, opens the floodgates to potential chaos and voter fraud just weeks before the critical 2024...

Sunny Hostin has the sads after Kamala's interview with Bret Baier. TWEETS AT LINK............... Not one person has mentioned an 'angry black woman' trope other than Sunny. She is only mentioning it to deflect from the disaster that was Kamala. Running defense for a very dumb candidate is very hard. Bret threw her off her memorized word salad. She wasn't sure what to do. People have eyes and ears. They know it was bad. Sunny has the IQ of a turnip. No offense to turnips.

The Treasury Department is ground zero for the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” DEI agenda. The agency, which serves as the guardian of the American financial system, has translated critical race and gender theories into official policy—all under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” We have conducted an exclusive investigation that reveals the stunning capture of the Treasury, which, under the current DEI mandate, has worked to advance the principles of left-wing racialism, directing billions of dollars to favored racial and “underserved” groups, hiring a cadre of radical race “experts” to cement the new orthodoxy within the department, and considering potential...
