TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida sent a reminder to the U.S. Department of Justice that they are not allowed to send monitors to polling locations after the DOJ sent a press release announcing the planned visits. The Justice Department announced Friday that it “plans to monitor compliance with federal voting rights laws in 86 jurisdictions in 27 states for the Nov. 5 general election.” The DOJ said they “regularly deploy” staff to “monitor for compliance with federal civil rights laws in elections in communities all across the country.” Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd wrote an email to the Deputy Chief...

Another day, another hoax. The mainstream media’s relentless campaign to misrepresent former President Donald Trump has reached new heights. In a Friday appearance on CNN, so-called conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg falsely claimed that Trump suggested a firing squad execution for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). President Trump had criticized Cheney’s hawkish foreign policy views during an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, condemning her stance on “endless wars.” At no point did Trump imply or suggest any such violent intentions toward Cheney—he merely called her out for her support of prolonged conflicts. Goldberg, however, attacked Trump with an inflammatory conclusion,...

That’s an awful lot of Louis. Former first lady Melania Trump packed her bags and jetted out of New York City Friday en route to South Florida – where she will join her husband, former President Donald Trump, to watch the election results come in Nov. 5. The 54-year-old’s luggage – including Louis Vuitton suitcases and several garment bags emblazoned with the presidential seal – was seen being loaded into a black SUV outside Trump Tower in Midtown, with some of the pricey parcels literally thrown into the back of the crammed vehicle, one on top of the other.

A letter recently uncovered showcased Minnesota Governor and Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz bragging about Minnesota’s connection to several top Chinese leaders. The 2021 letter, discovered by Fox News Digital, was originally posted by the Minnesota International Chinese School. “Minnesota has a longstanding relationship with the people of China,” Walz (D-Minn.) wrote. “The state has promoted Minnesota’s connections with China and has hosted numerous senior Chinese leaders for decades. Thousands of Minnesotans claim ancestral connections to China, which has helped foster numerous ties between Minnesota and China.” “These ties are rapidly expanding through the growth of education, trade, and...

Trump leads Harris by a five-point margin in Pennsylvania — 51-46

Archaeologists were recently able to confirm an 800-year-old tale of medieval biological warfare. The Norwegian historical chronicle Sverris saga tells the story of an attack that involved a corpse hurled down a well in order to poison the local water supply. Scholars long debated the veracity of the story, but a team of archaeologists used DNA analysis to confirm that a corpse found at the site was indeed the much-discussed “Well Man.

With just four days to Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris holds a commanding 10-point lead over former President Trump in Virginia among likely voters, according to a new poll by Roanoke College. The Trump campaign is hoping to flip the Old Dominion State red after losing in 2016 and 2020, with the former president making a last-minute stop in Salem on Saturday for a campaign rally. No Republican presidential candidate has won Virginia since former President George W. Bush's re-election in 2004. Only 2% of likely voters say they are undecided and another 2% say they will vote for...

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt resigned from his contributing columnist role at The Washington Post on Friday after storming off the newspaper’s live show over a disagreement with his colleagues. Hewitt’s resignation came after an appearance on “First Look,” the Post’s live show hosted by Jonathan Capehart, alongside Ruth Marcus, an associate editor and columnist at the Post, during a discussion over former President Donald Trump legal efforts in battleground states. “Is it me, or does it seem like, this week, Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania...

Vanilla ice cream can get a bad rap as the least exciting flavor available on the aisle. But that's an unfair assessment considering that a classic taste shouldn't be confused with a bland one. At least, that's what quality producers of vanilla ice cream prove. In truth, if you've been underwhelmed by a scoop of vanilla, it may be because the brand wasn't delivering all that rich floral flavor that a vanilla bean can bring. Sure, you could make excellent vanilla ice cream at home, but I promise there's still quality brands dedicated to producing a classic cup of supreme...

We’re seeing a lot of fuss and bother over the 2024 presidential election. But do we even need a president? I ask because we don’t have one now. And we haven’t had one for all practical purposes for something between a few months and three years. Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald recently tweeted, “The US has no functional president and has not had one for months, and it’s barely noticeable and barely matters because there’s a permanent unelected machine that runs the government.” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ken.) replied, “Where’s the lie?” Elon Musk commented, “Bingo.” Joe Biden may be capable of...

The entire police force of a small town in Oklahoma resigned on Thursday without explanation leaving the place in turmoil with locals demanding answers. The mass resignation along with two city council members was announced in a Facebook post in which locals were told that an acting police chief would still remain to police the tiny town. Geary, with a population of about 1,000, is now being covered by forces from neighboring Blaine and Canadian counties. But the announcement has left locals puzzles with the original statement shedding little light on what was behind the mass walkout. 'To the Citizens...

BREAKING: Democrats have released a disturbing AD that predicts a future where Donald Trump has passed away and JD Vance becomes dictator of America while Elon Musk gains access to immortality from siphoning from Americans. This is the party that calls Conservatives conspiracy theorist

I am one of more than 120,000 Pennsylvanians of Ukrainian heritage who will vote on which presidential candidate best serves our interests. Since only 80,000 votes separated the presidential candidates in 2020, our community's vote could be key to deciding who wins Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes in November: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.After watching news of the full-scale invasion, Trump gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a green light by calling his strategic decisions “savvy” and “genius.” When Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, he promised to strike a “rapid deal” to end the war but provided no...

[Catholic Caucus] A Response to the Feminist Demand for Priestly Ordination: Contemplate MaryA Response to the Feminist Demand for Priestly Ordination: Contemplate the Maternal Priesthood of Mary.By Karen Darantière “It’s so insulting to keep on saying that the only valid role that will get the approval of this pope is to be nurturing, is to be a mother, while you can be nurturing and mothering and be a priest.” (1) So says Miriam Duignan, an advocate of female ordination and of abortion, in response to comments against the female diaconate made by Pope Francis, recently reiterated by Cardinal Fernandez. One...

Major win for Pennsylvania Republicans and election integrity groups. A few days ago, 3 Democrat judges on the Pennsylvania appellate court (3-2 decision) struck down a date and accuracy requirement for mail in ballots to be received. Today, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court just stayed that ruling and put the date requirement back into effect. This makes it harder for Democrats to cheat. [Pdf Here]

Donald Trump has lost close to 10 points on the Polymarket betting site in less than 24 hours.

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal from Republicans that could have led to thousands of provisional ballots not being counted in the battleground state. The justices left in place a state Supreme Court ruling that elections officials must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected. As of Thursday, about 9,000 ballots out of more than 1.6 million returned have arrived at elections offices around Pennsylvania lacking a secrecy envelope, a signature or a date, according to state records. Pennsylvania is the biggest presidential election battleground this year, with 19 electoral votes. In 2020,...

emocratic nominee Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz on Friday called Tesla boss Elon Musk a 'gay guy', sparking backlash on social media. At a campaign stop in Detroit, Michigan, the Minnesota governor was talking about billionaires when he brough up Musk's name. “If you’re a billionaire - Elon Musk, for example say - that guy, that gay guy [chuckles]…Michigan knows that word,” Walz said. “Look, that dude got a tax cut…”

Who's Bruce Springsteen gonna call when he needs an opening number for his 2024 Halloween show? That's right... Ghostbusters. Springsteen opened up his Thursday night concert in Montreal with a loving, unironic take on Ray Parker Jr.'s chart-topping theme song to 1984's second-highest grossing film. In a year that's already been filled with surprises, it's still hard not to be taken aback by watching the 75-year old disputed billionaire enthusiastically shouting "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!" At the time of this writing the show was still ongoing but has seemingly settled into a more typical set list, with "Ghostbusters"...
