Nate Silver is part of the polling corps that’s hedging their bets. He wrote on Sunday that a blue wave looks likely, because that’s what all his colleagues are saying. Some of these projections are wild this year, like predicting Florida will have a Democrat governor. Not going to happen. In 2024, Silver infuriated Democrats with his Electoral College projections because Trump was winning; he swung to the other side slightly when Kamala Harris took over. Trump won. In 2026, he’s saying a blue wave will essentially happen only in blue states and, more importantly, that the GOP has a...

As the 2026 midterm election jamboree entered its final days, the punditocracy has been treated to a couple of cathartic and possibly clarifying shudders. As I write, Elissa Slotkin, a Democratic Senator from Michigan, is scrambling to retrieve her standing after she told an interviewer that she favored having the deep state harass people who supported Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. She didn’t put it quite like that, of course. What she said was: “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration?’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord,...

Please join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.1 Timothy 2:1-2 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.Religion Forum threads labeled “Prayer” are closed to debate of any kind.

It seems morbidly appropriate that America’s midterm elections come right after Halloween. What the Democrat Party offers voters this year is the culmination of many decades of cultural rot, psychopathy, and anti-Americanism. It feels as if we’re in the middle of a scary movie, doesn’t it? Are we hanging from the edge of a cliff? Yes. Are there evil monsters chasing us down? Yes. Does it seem as if every choice we make could be our last? Yes. What the Democrat Party has become is truly horrific. Like Frankenstein’s monster, its political body is comprised of dead parts: Islamic supremacy,...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (11/2/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 711 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. 2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me. 3 Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. 5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my...

When I was doing background research into a Muslim congressional candidate in a New Jersey primary that no one was looking at, what I found blew my mind. And then some. I broke the story on the background of Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy back in April. In 1995, ‘Adam’ Hisham Hamawy testified for the defense in the trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman: the Egyptian Islamic terror leader linked to the World Trade Center bombing. Now, Hamawy is running for Congress in New Jersey while promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security. The Sheikh’s...

Philip E. Meeks, who says he has lived near Sullivan’s home for years, questions the independent candidate’s motives and urges him to return to town and answer reporters’ questions. Democrats allegedly recruited Sullivan to run in order to siphon votes away from Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. (Credit: Rashid Umar Abbasi for Fox News Digital)

Featured photo: Hillary Clinton’s official portrait as Secretary of State. U.S. Department of State, public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.Five days before the midterms, Hillary Clinton told Democrats what a new majority would do first. Not lower grocery bills. Not cheaper gas. Investigations. On the Oct. 28 episode of High Stakes, the Vox Media podcast she co-hosts with Kara Swisher, Clinton predicted President Trump would soon face “a Democratic Congress trying to rein him in, hold him accountable, and investigate him, his administration, his family, his supporters and allies.” Then she added: “So buckle up. The election is just the beginning.”...

The poll shows that if the election were held next weekend, KO would have the support of 29.7 percent of respondents (a decrease of 0.9 percentage points compared to the poll from the beginning of October). The second in the election would be PiS, for which 17.2 percent of respondents want to vote (a decrease of 0.8 percentage points). The last place on the podium is occupied by the Confederacy, for which 13.2 percent of the respondents want to vote (a decrease of 0.9 percentage points). Entering the Sejm with a 10% support (an increase by a percentage point) of...

Tusk referred to the dispute over the Constitutional Court in a social media post. "The resolution of the conflict is simple and possible without changes to the constitution," he wrote on X. Donald Tusk presented his vision of solving the case. “The President recognizes judges legally elected by the Sejm, because this is the Constitution, and they undertake their duties in the Court” – he pointed out. Karol Nawrocki, who has chosen a violent confrontation, which can cost Poland a lot, said: “So far.” “The democratic rule of law cannot give way to violence, regardless of how powerful external forces...

Tuesday November 3, 2026 is election day, and sad to say, there is a better than 50% chance that it will be the last real election ever held in the United States. Democratic Party officials have been very clear about what they will do if they gain power tomorrow, packing the Supreme Court to guarantee all decisions will support their agenda, adding DC and Puerto Rico as states as well as open the borders and make all illegal immigrants legal voters in order to cement their majority, and then with that power to go after Republican politicians and ordinary staffers...

An initiative on Idaho’s ballot this November would make it legal for a child to be killed at eight months’ gestation. President of Idaho Family Policy Center Blaine Conzatti believes this is too extreme for the historically red state. If passed, Idaho Proposition 1, the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act Initiative, would allow any woman to “make personal decisions about reproductive healthcare that directly impacts the person’s own body,” which is a euphemism for destroying her pregnancy. Experts say it’s also the most extreme pro-abortion ballot initiative or constitutional amendment in any state this election cycle. “We have two laws...

Missouri’s Amendment 3 also states that the Missouri Constitution will “continue to ensure women’s ability to access medical care for medical emergencies, ectopic pregnancies, and miscarriages; allow legislation to regulate abortion providers and facilities to ensure health and safety; require informed and voluntary consent for an abortion, including parental or judicial consent for minors.” Read the full language here: https://www.sos.mo.gov/petitions/2026BallotMeasures Be sure you know the facts before Election Day, November 3rd

Bangkok’s firefighters do more snake catching than firefighting, and Pinyo Pukpinyo trains them. But he refuses to kill the snakes, and he’s running out of containers. Once you see a snake in Bangkok, the snakiest capital in the world, you see snakes everywhere. Loops of electrical wire look like snakes. Gas pump hoses look like snakes. Vines, green and vibrant, look like snakes. There are also, as Pinyo Pukpinyo knows, a lot of actual snakes. In Bangkok each year, about 30,000 snakes are caught by fire and rescue personnel. On an average half-day shift, Mr. Pinyo, the top snake catcher...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThe Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls)Jesus said to the crowds: “Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day.” John 6:37–39Today we do more than remember our loved ones...

Several college football teams have drawn attention for sparsely attended games this season. A photo of the Oklahoma Sooners stadium during their Saturday game against the South Carolina Gamecocks is going viral as similar photos of other college football venues are also popping up. Fans began noticing the trend this year, when USC opened its 2026 campaign to a small crowd, and now more sparsely attended games are being witnessed. Games at other schools are also reportedly seeing attendance problems as many now begin to wonder why some teams are struggling to get fans to watch in person. Former ESPN...

Clinton floats expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices as Paxton warns of the consequences if Democrats regain control of Washington. Today’s Democrats are radical and dangerous. They don’t just want to win; they want to take power and hold it forever. They’re enraged that the American people elected Donald Trump, and they want to make sure that patriotic Americans never have another chance to thwart their plans or even voice disagreement again. They’re ruthless, ideologically driven tyrants who will show no mercy to us. …Democrats aren’t ashamed of it either. In fact, they are openly planning to cement themselves...
