President Donald Trump’s campaign has gone viral by posting a flashback video to highlight Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s anti-Christian agenda. The video contrasts Trump’s fondness for the festive season while exposing Harris as a loyal solider in the War on Christmas. Team Trump’s video shows Vice President Harris angrily blasting the phrase, “Merry Christmas.” However, the video goes on to promise that a second Trump presidency would be filled with Christmas cheer. “How dare we speak ‘Merry Christmas!’ How dare we!” Harris said in a 2017 speech. Harris waged war on the Christmas spirit during negotiations about protections for...

Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley, a 23-year-old U.S. soldier, has paid the ultimate price for a mission many experts warned was flawed from the start. This is the third American death that can be traced back to the Gaza Pier debacle – which cost taxpayers $320 million – but the first of a US Serviceman. Critically injured over the summer during the Biden-Harris administration’s ill-conceived Gaza pier project, Stanley battled his injuries for months before passing on October 31. His death is a painful reminder of the risks taken by young service members on operations shaped by political optics and poorly...

The southern border crisis costs American taxpayers around $451 billion per year for services provided to a record number of illegal aliens under the Biden administration, according to one estimate a Republican-led investigation cites. In a 49-page report released Monday, the House Committee on Homeland Security found that nearly half a trillion dollars is being lost in the healthcare, law enforcement, education, housing, and other sectors due to an influx of illegal immigration in the past two years. The $451 billion figure takes into account the millions of illegal migrants released by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s Department of Homeland Security, as...

Western security officials say they believe that two incendiary devices, shipped via DHL, were part of a covert Russian operation that ultimately aimed to start fires aboard cargo or passenger aircraft flying to the U.S. and Canada, as Moscow steps up a sabotage campaign against Washington and its allies. The devices ignited at DHL logistics hubs in July, one in Leipzig, Germany, and another in Birmingham, England. The explosions set off a multinational race to find the culprits. Now investigators and spy agencies in Europe have figured out how the devices—electric massagers implanted with a magnesium-based flammable substance—were made and...

More than 1.2 million Harris County residents took part in early voting this year, falling shy of 2020's record turnout of approximately 1.4 million. According to the Texas Secretary of State’s unofficial results, 1,176,426 people voted in person across Harris County during early voting. As of the final day of early voting, Nov. 1, 53,500 had also already voted via mail, making for a total of 1,229,926 ballots cast during early voting. This is the second-highest number of ballots ever cast during early voting in Harris County. 2020 still holds the record with 1,265,405 in-person ballots and 171,247 mail-in ballots...

My family voted early in Florida this week, fulfilling a responsibility I had been eagerly waiting for the past four years to do. My brother, daughter, and 10-year-old grandson climbed into the car with us because he’s been bagging his mom to be allowed to fill in the oval next to President Trump’s name for weeks, and we drove to the Clerk of the Court. The line was short when we arrived. We received our ballots and headed to our booths. I stared at the ballot—a long one in Florida this year—with choices for president, senate, congress, local elections, judicial...

We are a night away from Election Day and the early vote totals show Pennsylvania Democrats are nowhere near as enthused as they were in 2020. Republican enthusiasm to vote early is, however, matching 2020 levels. According to the latest numbers dropped by the state of Pennsylvania, 997,450 Democrats have voted early compared to 578,546 Republicans. That gives Democrats a vote lead of 409,904.

Black voters – especially men – turned out in low numbers in Florida before Election Day, in a year with a choice between the first female presidential candidate of color and a Republican who has struggled with substantially negative perceptions by Black Americans. Statewide, 48% of 1.78 million voters who identified as Black submitted mail ballots or visited polling places for early voting, compared to 61% of 8.51 million active white voters, according to a new analysis of government turnout data through the end of early voting Sunday. Among Black men, turnout was even lower at 44%, seven percentage points...

My dear friends, as believers in Jesus Christ, this world is not our ETERNAL home (Heb. 11:13, 1 John 2:15-17, Rev. 22:1-5). We are to see ALL things from Heaven's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS perspective, fully knowing that this world is but a vapor and Almighty God's ETERNAL Kingdom is truly at hand (Isa. 40:6, Col. 3:1-3, 1 John 2:15-17, Rev. 20:11-15, Rev. 22:1-5)! However, as Heaven's ambassadors in time to a lost and dying world (Matt. 28:18-20, 2 Cor, 5:17-21), we have a total sincere ETERNAL interest in the world in which we live and our nation in which we reside....

“The settlement will resolve allegations that the company failed to appropriately oversee the dispensing of opioids at its pharmacies,” Bonta’s office said in a news release. Payments on the $122 million will begin arriving early in 2025 and will be used for opioid abatement, the release added. In addition, Kroger pharmacies will be required to “monitor, report, and share data about suspicious activity related to opioid prescriptions.”

Growing signs that Trump may win the election are unnerving media moguls. One network executive told New York Magazine writer Charlotte Klein "as a group, 85% of our coverage of Trump has been negative. In contrast, 78% of our coverage of Harris has been positive. How can this not have doomed Trump's candidacy? If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form." "The partnership we've had with the Biden Administration to discredit and censor dissenters from the...

Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon expects election results in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada will be delayed until Wednesday or beyond. The forecast suggests the Harris campaign believes she will not win the election in a landslide, a prediction that some Republicans believe is mostly correct, with the caveat that Trump could win in a landslide. Trump, some argue, has more paths to victory than Harris. Dillon told reporters she expects near-complete results in Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan by the end of Tuesday night.

Beloved; some 40 million Christians do not vote in US elections; that is an absolute disgrace! Our earthly duties as Christ's ETERNAL ambassadors for time (2 Cor. 5:17-21) and the ETERNAL Gospel are to be our first and chief call and duty; and all other interests in this vapor called "life" and "time" an ETERNAL second (1 Cor. 2:1, Gal. 2:20, Col. 3:1-4). As blood brought redeemed believers in Jesus Christ living in America; we are called and have a Divine obligation to be salt and light for our Lord Jesus and His soon-coming Kingdom (Matt. 5:13-16, 6:33)! The candidate...

Raphael Warnock arrived on Detroit’s Avenue of Fashion in his SUV, rocking blue jeans and a muted olive vest, ready to make his pitch to the predominantly Black audience. The Democratic Senator from Georgia is among a group of high-profile advocates for Kamala Harris working nonstop to turnout the Black male voters they fear could cost her the election—not so much by backing Donald Trump, but by not bothering to vote at all. “We cannot afford to stay home. That’s the real threat,” Warnock said in a storefront hastily remade into a field office for Democrats. “There’s no such thing...

The Colorado Libertarian Party sued Secretary of State Jena Griswold and her chief deputy on Friday in Denver, asking the court to decommission voting equipment and order a hand count of ballots in counties affected by the recently discovered online disclosure of hundreds of election equipment passwords.

Hamas has once again refused to release the hostages it has been holding in Gaza since its attack on Israel last October, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. The State Department on Monday released a readout following a call between Blinken and Abdelatty, which took place on Sunday and which dealt with the situation in the Middle East and Sudan. “The Secretary noted that Hamas has once again refused to release even a limited number of hostages to secure a ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza,” said State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller,...

Another huge win in Georgia! The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday reversed a lower court’s decision and blocked Democrat-run Cobb County from counting 3,000 absentee ballots after Election Day. As previously reported, a judge ruled on Friday that Cobb County Georgia voters who received absentee ballots late can accept them until November 8, three days after the election. At least 1,000 of the absentee ballots sent out late last week in Cobb County went to out-of-state voters. The Republican National Committee (RNC) appealed the judge’s decision and the Georgia Supreme Court sided with them and blocked Cobb County from counting...

CBS News went to great lengths to squash correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 election, the award-winning investigative journalist claimed. In her bombshell allegation, Herridge revealed she brought evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell in early October 2020 that the laptop contained material about “a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm,” along with business texts and emails from the son of Democratic challenger Joe Biden. But later that month, Herridge wrote that she was shocked to see “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl...

Following the public outcry about the state's Department of Environmental Conservation raiding a local man's home and euthanizing his pet squirrel who had hundreds of thousands of social media followers, New York authorities announced Peanut the squirrel had died of COVID-19. Officials revealed Peanut's cause of death in an effort to calm the backlash that resulted from what many people have labeled a blatant example of government overreach and misaligned priorities. "We're saddened to announce that COVID-19 has claimed yet another victim," Governor Kathy Hochul told reporters. "An autopsy conducted yesterday revealed Peanut's caretakers had evidently failed to administer the...

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod admitted there are no guarantees voters will turn out for Vice President Kamala Harris on Election day. “I can tell you that I’ve talked to people who have been on the ground in places like Philadelphia, Detroit, New Orleans, and they have all said the same thing,” Axelrod said on CNN. “There’s zero enthusiasm on the ground for Kamala Harris in the demographics that they need.”
