'We will be the best friend you've ever had if you get your house in order,' former envoy says to CanadaKelly Craft, Donald Trump's former ambassador to Canada, says the country should prepare for what could be a more antagonistic bilateral relationship with the U.S. if her old boss wins Tuesday's presidential election. Trump's focus on building up American manufacturing and making NATO allies spend more on defence means Canada would need to make some policy changes to stay in America's good graces, Craft said. "Canada, they need to buckle up, The whole world needs to buckle up because President...

Donald Trump has a taste for hyperbole. But if he wins Tuesday, he will have pulled off the greatest comeback in American political history. What other man could survive two impeachments, a congressional committee investigation stacked against him, two special prosecutors, dozens of state and federal felony indictments and opposition from a significant chunk of his own party, including his former vice president and a chief of staff? But in a democracy, the first question to ask about an election is this: What are the American people telling us? In our system “we the people” are the ultimate arbiter of...

CEO of AI search company Perplexity, Aravind Srinivas, has offered to cross picket lines and provide services to mitigate the effect of a strike by New York Times tech workers. The NYT Tech Guild announced its strike Monday, after setting November 4 as its deadline months earlier. The workers represented provide software support and data analysis for the Times, on the business side of the outlet. They have been asking for an annual 2.5% wage increase and to cement a current two days per week in-office expectation, among other things. “But the company has decided that our members aren’t worth...

Joe Rogan revealed on the eve of Election Day that he’s endorsing Donald Trump for president. The popular podcaster announced the endorsement on X while promoting his Monday interview with Elon Musk on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “If it wasn’t for him we’d be –,” Rogan said of Musk. “He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.” “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump,” Rogan wrote.

In a YouTube video, the 98-year-old entertainer read the remarks, which were written by Rod Serling and focused on how “hatred is not the norm.” “To those who tell us the inequality of the human animal is a necessary evil, we must respond by simply saying that first, it is evil, but not necessary,” Van Dyke read.

Fellow Christians, we have a crisis we seem unable to recognize every election cycle. Many registered Christians sit out of elections year after year with the claim that the candidate their fellow Republicans selected in the primary is not a sufficient enough Christian to be of service to our nation and to represent their values. (And yet they never run themselves.) This is frustrating because their boycott hands the other side, which is far less Christian, the vote. Our country has suffered too much under this mindset as ANY election that had included these boycotters’ votes would be won by...

On second thought, hold that Champagne. (snip) election day has finally arrived in the United States. But don’t expect Europe to join in the election night fun. In stark contrast to pre-pandemic ballots, U.S. election night 2024 promises to be a sober affair in Europe, with U.S. officials in most European power centers having ditched the usual festivities. Embassies from Brussels to London, Paris and Berlin have decided against holding their usual watch parties. The reason? The Trump effect. Many officials are still smarting from the shock 2016 election, when Donald Trump unexpectedly beat Hillary Clinton for the presidency —...

The great and powerful @elonmusk If it wasn't for him we'd be f****d. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast

Patrick Mahomes' mother, Randi, turned up to watch her son play on Monday Night Football and revealed who, between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, she is supporting. In a video shared by Outkick, she is seen wearing a hoodie supporting the Chiefs from a suite in the Arrowhead Stadium. In addition to that, she is more pertinently seen wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which is the signature paraphernalia of anyone supporting Donald Trump. To leave us in no doubt that she is not choosing Kamala Harris in the Presidential Election tomorrow, she says in the video, “Make America...

Fortunately, the Constitution should still operate to prevent a leftist administration from handing to the UN American sovereignty and Americans’ rights. When five different people send you a link, you know that something very important has happened, even if the drive-by media aren’t trumpeting it on their outlets. In this case, it’s Robert Williams’ report at the Gatestone Institute that, in September, the Harris-Biden administration, without fanfare, adopted a UN pact that gives the UN and the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) control over American speech, foreign policy, and, possibly, internal sovereignty. Thankfully, while the administration can sign someone’s name on...

It's not the same without Rush. And indeed election day is not the same either, as we don't all meet together (separately) as we once did. Nevertheless, tomorrow's the day when decisions are revealed. GODSPEED, and say a prayer!

~The FReeper Canteen Presents~National Donut Day!National Donut Day (also known as National Doughnut Day) on November 5th is one of two observed by donut lovers across the nation. The first Friday in June is the other day donuts steal the bakery case spotlight ready to tease their way into white bakery box and go home!History disputes the origin of the donut. One theory suggests Dutch settlers brought donuts to North America much like they brought other traditional American desserts. They receive credit for such desserts as the apple pie, cream pie and cobbler. Traveling further back in time, we...

….Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College. It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House of Representatives, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn’t have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn’t deserve.

Jonathan Becker, the legendary photographer for Vanity Fair and Vogue, revealed fascinating details about some of the world’s most powerful figures he has photographed over a decades-long career (snip) Becker, whose new collection, Lost Time, will be released in October, sat down for a revealing new profile published in The Guardian on Monday.

Melania was “quiet and she had a bit of a sense of humor,” the photographer told...

Two British music producers have flown to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris, describing Donald Trump’s allyship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin as “terrifying” for the UK. Dan Glatman and Jon Cohen landed on Thursday in Pennsylvania, a battleground swing state, joining an army of volunteers knocking on doors and engaging with voters ahead of polling day on Tuesday. The London-born pair have no vote or stake in the US election, but 52-year-old Mr Cohen told the PA news agency it was becoming impossible to overlook when the “stakes are so high”. Mr Cohen, whose producing credits include Joss...

A top Latino group is predicting who will win the battleground state of Arizona as the historical campaign season comes to a close. LUCHA Arizona, a top Latino group in the swing state, told The Latino Newsletter that Vice President Kamala Harris will win Arizona over former President Donald Trump. However, the group also warned that she will win by a smaller margin that President Joe Biden did in 2020. “I think we’re going to win very, very narrowly, I think it’s going to be closer than 10,000 votes,” Alejandra Gomez, the group’s executive director, told The Latino Newsletter. Biden...

NBC News warned that Americans would face a delay in the presidential election results as “Nevada will take a week to count all their votes.” “So, she wins North Carolina, we could be living here in Nevada waiting and waiting and waiting,” NBC News’s Chuck Todd said. “And, if you remember, Nevada will take a week to count all their votes.” Todd added that “more ballots” would come in.

The Trump campaign has made an audacious play for the fast-growing Puerto Rican and Dominican population in eastern Pennsylvania. It’s paying off. Eddie Morán’s got a bit of swagger in his step as he walks around his large office in City Hall. The mayor just got out of a press conference, and his Caesar cut looks barber-fresh. It’s three weeks before the presidential election, and red leaves are scraping around the pavement outside; Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are neck-and-neck here in eastern Pennsylvania, but Morán, a Democrat, is not stressing — he won his own mayoral reelection by a...

On Monday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris running ads with different messages on Israel aimed at different groups by stating that Harris “basically is saying there are fine people on both sides of what happened on October 7.” Dershowitz said, “Well, she basically is saying there are fine people on both sides of what happened on October 7. She has praised some of the protesters who have called Israel’s response genocide. It’s like saying there are fine people on the side of 9/11....
