In some presidential races the victor has been named late on election night, or early the next morning. This time, the tight race in many states could mean media outlets wait longer before projecting who has won. Democrat Kamala Harris, the current vice-president, and Republican Donald Trump, the former president, have been running neck-and-neck for weeks.

A Spanish TikToker living in Finland cannot believe how much easier it is to start up a business in Finland when compared to Spain. On one of Anna Matea’s latest in her series of TikTok videos, she shows how amazed she is at how Finns don’t have to pay Social Security quotas every month like her long-suffering, self-employed countryfolk in Spain do. In fact, it’s the Finnish government who pays the self-employed worker, and not the other way around. For some time now, Finland has positioned itself as an attractive country for those who want to start a business, and...

An Ohio sheriff’s patrol commander who declared on Facebook that he would not help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing them aid has apologized, blaming prescribed sleep aids for causing his “out of character” actions. Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year veteran of the sheriff’s office in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported. “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you,” Rodgers reportedly wrote in one post. Another said: “The problem is that I know which...

The Biden-Harris administration allowed for 10 times the number of illegal immigrants into the US in October as jobs created by the private sector during the same time. This comes as border and economy have two of the top main issues for voters in the election. While businesses only created 12,000 additional jobs in October, that number was around one-ninth of the 112,500 new jobs anticipated and only about one tenth of the number of illegal immigrants that came into the US, according to data reported by NewsNation’s Ali Bradley.

In a powerful closing ad for his campaign, Donald Trump has assembled a formidable lineup of voices—Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Nicole Shanahan, JD Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Elon Musk—to deliver a resounding message to America: the time has come to choose freedom over the tyranny of the radical left.

Democratic strategist Tom Bonier, who appears on MSNBC, says the Pennsylvania electorate is much more Republican, and much more male, than last time. Harris needs a huge turnout in Philadelphia to carry the state, and numerous news reports say she’s still struggling to win over some Black men. Politico: "The city of Milwaukee is trailing the rest of the state by about 7 percent both in its mail-in return rate and in overall registered voter turnout. Capital B, Atlanta: The turnout of Black voters in Georgia "has dropped from more than 29 percent" on the first day of early voting...

Peanut the Squirrel, and an Election Brought into Focus at Last by John F. Di Leo As the 2024 election approached, many voters found themselves with a dilemma. They’ve been told for a decade that they must dislike President Trump, though he did a good job as president. They’ve been told that they should like Kamala Harris, though everything about her from policies to behavior seems weird. So, while many have been able to comfortably cast early votes with confidence, others put it off until the last minute, hoping perhaps for a flash of clarity, a winning argument, or maybe...

The influx of millions of migrants has shifted political power in the nation to Democrats, even though they are not allowed to vote... While they may be considered noncitizens, illegal and legal migrants are counted by the census, and those numbers are used to shift congressional districts, which affect electoral votes, according to two new studies from the Center for Immigration Studies.... “Immigration shifts political power in the United States — without a single immigrant having to vote. Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and thus votes in the Electoral College are apportioned among the states based on each...

A lawyer for Elon Musk said in a Philadelphia courtroom Monday that the winners of Musk’s $1 million daily prize giveaway in election swing states are not chosen at random, contradicting what Musk said when he announced the contest last month. Legal experts told NBC News that the disclosure could have legal fallout for Musk across multiple jurisdictions under laws designed to protect consumers from deceptive practices. “This is absolutely, unambiguously illegal,” Christopher Peterson, a University of Utah law professor who specializes in consumer protection, said in an email. “You cannot lawfully lie to the public about conducting a random...

Year after year, we are told that we should elect a president who is of this or that demographic group. And just for the record, speaking just for myself – I would personally be happy to see an Indian-American as president. In fact, I supported Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal for the presidency for a while in 2015, before he dropped out. And I would also be happy to see a woman as president. I supported Congressman Michelle Bachman for the presidency in 2011, before she dropped out. I would be happy to see an African-American as president; I supported Alan...

[Catholic Caucus] On The Indefectibility of the Catholic Church in this CrisisPerhaps the only reason that a true Catholic with a good will and a functioning intellect would fear coming to the same conclusion on the papacy as Archbishop Viganó did would be the indefectibility of the Catholic Church. Fr. John Hardon SJ explains that indefectibility essentially promises that the Catholic Church “will always remain the institution of salvation, founded by Christ. This affirms that the Church is essentially unchangeable in her teaching, her constitution, and her liturgy. It does not exclude modifications that do not affect her substance, nor...

Standing in front of a small group of select journalists, Michigan’s Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson explained how Dominion voting machines are not working properly in a state that began early voting and early tabulating last week. Never one to miss an opportunity to deceive voters into believing she’s a proponent of free and fair elections, the former Southern Poverty Law Center (hate group) board member stood in front of the cameras last week and smirked during a press conference when she was asked about how a Dominion Voting machine issue, that was detected in September but is just...

Tech billionaire Mark Pincus has revealed that he is voting for Donald Trump for president, despite being a 'lifelong Dem.' Pincus, worth an estimated $1.4 billion, founded video game company Zynga - most famous for creating the game Farmville. He announced his endorsement in a message on social media site X, citing conflict in the Middle East and a rise in antisemitism as key reasons for his decision.

The Democrats' closing message as ingeniously distilled by the Nanny-Shagger himself: "Kamala did what Kamala always does. She put her head down and went to work." - Doug Emhoff One of the greatest unintentional admissions of all time 🤣 pic.twitter.com/au7Smr1FaG — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 3, 2024 This time on Wednesday we'll know whether we can chisel that on the tombstone of the republic.

Today's Morning Joe served up a festering stew, a farrago of lies and misrepresentations aimed at boosting Kamala Harris and trashing Donald Trump. [snip] Scarborough twice recycled the lie to which he had devoted endless airtime last week. As he put it today, Trump "called to have Liz Cheney shot by a firing squad." That lie has been so thoroughly debunked by people across the political spectrum, that it took a special kind of Scarborough shamelessness to mouth it again today. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
