There’s a pretty significant difference between winning a presidential election and deciding that the rules for winning presidential elections should be changed. That distinction is worth considering after Democrats’ sweeping victories in several key state elections during a bloodbath of a midterm.Axios reported Wednesday that Democrats have gained control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada. Those victories could give Democrats enough political power to push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact past the threshold needed to take effect.And that could fundamentally change how America elects its president by 2028.

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (11/5/26)[Prayer]The Scriptures in Handel's Messiah Haggai 2:6-76 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.

"By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks" (Heb 11:4). The character of your life will determine the legacy you leave to others. Bible scholar James Moffatt wrote, "Death is never the last word in the life of a . . . man. When a man leaves this world, be he righteous or unrighteous, he leaves something in the world. He may leave something that will grow and spread like a cancer...

Marxists and Muslims for now. Muslims in the end. n Dearborn, Michigan, and in Minneapolis, Minnesota, mosques can blast Muslim prayers five times a day. Yet, if a Christian church tried to similarly blast sermons, or even bells, they would quickly be shut down. Officials, and the separation of church and state folks, would be on them in a heartbeat. Dearborn, as of now, is still the world headquarters of the Ford Motor Company, steeped in American exceptionalism for many decades. But it is now almost entirely a Muslim enclave. Minneapolis was once a beautiful, safe, and thriving city. Its...

Considering that presidential elections usually have higher turnouts, and all three elections were remarkably heated, Talarico’s extraordinary popularity is...interesting. One thing I’ve warned about over the years is that Texas, which proudly positioned itself as the new Silicon Valley, was bringing in a lot of college-educated young people. In the 1950s, that would have been nice. In the 21st century, that meant bringing in leftists. It’s easy to assume, then, that these new immigrants handed James Talarico his new Senate seat. However, population growth alone doesn’t fully explain what happened in Texas on Tuesday. I have no settled explanation for...

One voter for every two people The Dems had a pretty clear plan to flip Texas, assemble a coalition of Hispanic voters, urban black voters and liberal suburban voters. It didn’t work in previous elections, but it did this time. Liberal suburban voters tend to turn out in high numbers if they think there’s a chance they can win. Black and Latino voters need to be registered and from the look of things, the usual lefty voter turnout ‘non-profits’ were very busy registering legal or illegal voters. A record 19 million Texans were registered to vote in Tuesday’s election, roughly...

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to convert 548 death sentences to life in prison without parole has sparked frustration and heartbreak among families of murder victims, including those of Michael Lyons and Sacramento County Deputy Danny Oliver.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced murder charges Thursday following the death of a missing 10-year-old girl whose body was found in South Jersey. Authorities said the girl's foster mother, 36-year-old Caprice Williams, has been charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and several related offenses. The victim, Malayshia Allford, had been the subject of an intensive 10-day search after she disappeared from West Philadelphia. According to Assistant District Attorney Ashley Toczylowski, investigators believe Malayshia was last seen alive on Oct. 22. Authorities said surveillance video from Oct. 26 at approximately 1:53 a.m. appears to show a...

If modern medicine invented a single pill that could slash cardiovascular disease, blunt cognitive decline, lower systemic inflammation, and add a decade of vitality to your lifespan, pharmaceutical companies would charge $1,000 a month for it. Yet the most potent prescription for living past ninety costs nothing, requires no gym membership, and can be filled right on your neighbor’s front porch. Over the last two decades, researchers studying the world’s “Blue Zones”—pockets across the globe where people routinely live vibrant, active lives past 100—scrambled to uncover the physiological formula. At first glance, their diets seem completely contradictory. In Loma Linda,...

The national elections, just completed, added five states that will be completely controlled by Democrats next year, i.e., legislature and governor. They are, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Every one of these is ripe for legalizing assisted suicide, as that policy is now part of the liberal/progressive issue agenda. Most have already seen serious efforts to legalize doctor-prescribed death — even when Republicans held some power. Indeed, the electorally late (defeated for reelection) Governor Joe Lombardo of Nevada vetoed a legalization bill a few years ago. Other states that are already governed by a so-called Democratic trifecta, but which...

A onetime West Point cadet who admitted in federal court to surreptitiously ending his girlfriend's pregnancy is now facing a civil lawsuit over the 2022 episode, Fox News reports. The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, filed suit against Caleb T. Suh in New York state supreme court on Oct. 28, accusing him of assault and battery and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. Suh was charged and pleaded guilty in the case in June; it's not clear what, if any, disciplinary action he may have faced at West Point. Doe did report the incident to West Point's Army Criminal Investigation...

Cherry Hill, NJ — Another woman has been rushed to the hospital following a serious medical complication at Cherry Hill Women’s Center in New Jersey. This time, the patient was 25 weeks pregnant when she suffered a uterine perforation during an abortion procedure likely performed by abortionist Lisa Perriera. A 911 recording obtained by Operation Rescue captures Perriera personally calling emergency dispatch to report the injury. Throughout the call, Perriera seems careful not to say whether or not she is the one responsible for the life-threatening injury. “Hi, um, this is Doctor Perriera at Cherry Hill Women’s Center,” she begins...

Luke Rosiak @lukerosiak Ram Chhetri came to the US as a refugee, but this might be worst day of his life: It's the moment he realizes the $80k-$160k/year salary he's bilked from Medicaid for no-show work is coming to an end because @realdailywire caught the truth on camera. We conducted months of surveillance that shows why "home care aide" is now the *most common job* in states like NY, CA, MN, and PA: Because a large part of those jobs are unambiguous Medicaid fraud. Thanks to home care, Bhutanese refugees now make more money than actual PA families. The state...

Republican voters in search of silver linings need look no further than the collective fate of their party's own amnesty-mongers. Tuesday's midterm tsunami, which wiped out GOP control of Congress, also washed away a group of Republican legislators best known for having betrayed the party's base by co-sponsoring the DIGNIDAD Act of 2025, an amnesty bill masquerading as immigration reform. As of Thursday afternoon, eight of those co-sponsors had lost their bids for re-election to the House of Representatives. Moreover, the full statistical picture looks even worse for those amnesty-loving Republicans. More on that in a moment. As for the...

The 2026 midterm elections have clearly been very good for Democrats across the board. But their House majority is trending toward historic numbers. CNN is projecting that Democrats have won more than 250 House seats, with a net gain of around 40 seats. And they could hit or even exceed 260 total seats by the time all is said and done. That would give them around an 85-seat majority and make it the biggest Democratic majority since the early 1990s — the tail end of decades of Democratic domination of the House. If Democrats get to 260 seats, it would...
