New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani could be gearing up to be the kingmaker for the 2028 election after progressive candidates made gains across the country in last week's midterms, reports suggest. Mamdani himself can't run for president because he's not a "natural born citizen,” as required by Article II of the Constitution. But he could help decide how the Democrats will be led into 2028. Speaking to Axios, insiders have revealed that he is meeting with union leaders trying to get a progressive candidate to run for the White House. Progressives achieved breakthrough victories in Senate races in Michigan...

First came the public suggestion that the Kraków gunman was fascinated by far-right ideologies. Then came explanations about preliminary theories and the need for further verification. Remarks made by Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński just hours after the deadly attack in Kraków quickly made international headlines. Meanwhile, material circulating online has raised questions about the perpetrator’s actual political sympathies, with some reports pointing in a very different ideological direction. One fundamental question remains: what evidence prompted the minister to associate the attacker with the far right so early in the investigation? (snip) His remarks quickly spread through domestic and international...

I would like to say a few more words about the midterms and the fight ahead. I really do understand the despair eating away at American patriots who are heartbroken to see Islamism, communism, and general lawlessness take over the country. As I’m sure most of you did, I suffered after the 2020 election. Perhaps the issue that bothered me most six years ago was how the public messaging “narrative” painted that election as a rejection of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” policies, including his successful border enforcement and dedication to the resurrection of manufacturing in the United States....

In 2026, 82% of white born-again or Evangelical Christians supported Republicans, a figure that did not budge from 2024 exit polling, when Trump carried the same percentage among the demographic. However, white born-again or Evangelicals made up a much smaller share of the electorate (17%) than in 2024 (23%). .. Support for Republican candidates among other Christians in 2026 was 60%. Protestants and other Christians made up 38% of the electorate in 2026, compared to 43% in 2024. While a solid majority of Catholics (59%) supported Trump in 2024, Catholics were nearly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans in 2026....

Catholics, who made up about 20 percent of midterm voters, shifted from majority red in 2024 to a near-even split this year between Republicans and Democrats, according to both exit polls. Two years ago, exit polls showed Catholics favoring Republicans, 59 percent to 39 percent in the NBC poll, and 60 percent to 39 percent in the CNN poll, which has renamed its exit poll “voter polls” due to a change in methodology. The 2024 NBC poll looked only at 10 key states, as opposed to all 50. Nichole Flores, a religious studies professor at the University of Virginia,...

1 And now, you rich people, listen to me! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your riches have rotted away, and your clothes have been eaten by moths. 3 Your gold and silver are covered with rust, and this rust will be a witness against you and will eat up your flesh like fire. You have piled up riches in these last days. 4 You have not paid any wages to those who work in your fields. Listen to their complaints! The cries of those who gather in your crops have reached the ears...

At the time of writing the countries that are most likely to experience the outbreak of violent civil conflict first are Britain and France—both of which have already experienced what may be described as precursor or exemplary incidents of the kind discussed further below. The conditions are similar, however, throughout Western Europe as well as, for slightly different reasons, the United States;[ii] moreover, it must be assumed that if civil war breaks out in one place it is likely to spread elsewhere.[iii] (snip) In short, things are manifestly worsening right now. They are, however, going to get very much worse—I...

Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Social Difference is set to host a Nov. 18 reading discussion examining accusations of American genocide, colonialism, and racial oppression during the nation’s 250th anniversary. The event, titled “We Charge Genocide at 75,” will examine historical accusations against the United States and explore political resistance through the writings of Malcolm X and other activists. The university’s listing describes the discussion as part of its “Counter-narratives at 250” series, which challenges traditional celebrations of American independence. Organizers say the series seeks to challenge America’s history as a “settler-colonial state” and examine experiences of marginalized...

Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar is wasting no time pushing for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, even as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to decide whether bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles violate the Second Amendment.Just one day after winning the November 3 election, Klobuchar told reporters that legislation targeting firearms and magazines would be a top priority for her incoming administration.“The gun safety bill is going to get passed,” Klobuchar declared during her November 4 press conference.The timing is particularly significant. On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v....

Many people on 𝕏 are calling for elections to not to be certified, or for Trump to not to seat the new Congress on January 3rd. In a sense, attributing 2026 results to cheating is too narrow of a way to look at a much larger and a much worse problem. The problem isn't that machines decided to flip 15% of Republican votes and stole the 2026 midterms from us. The problem is that our elections are untransparent, monopolized by mysterious NGOs, and set up institutionally such that they are impossible to challenge or audit honestly. I wrote a book,...

Today, U.S. Representative Sheri Biggs (R-SC) introduced the “Don’t Flush Babies Act” in Congress, a bill that would require a “do not flush” warning label on chemical abortion pill packaging. Liberty Counsel Action worked closely with Rep. Biggs’ office to draft the bill. The bill is a response to the approximate 700,000 chemical abortions happening at home annually where human fetal remains, biohazardous medical waste, and active pharmaceutical compounds are being flushed down the toilet into municipal water systems that are not designed to filter out such contaminants. “Every year, women are traumatized by seeing the remains of their aborted...

Daily Readings from the USCCBFeast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in RomeJesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his Body. John 2:19–21The Lateran Basilica, officially known as the Archbasilica of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Rome and holds the unique distinction...

"By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God" (Heb 11:5). When you walk by faith, you enjoy intimacy with God. Our second hero of faith is Enoch. Genesis 5:21-24 records that "Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch...

When we ask what the Democrats have in store for us over the coming years, one answer is: more assassination attempts. Assassination chic is rampant in popular culture. The murder of Charlie Kirk, in particular, has become a standing joke on the left. Podcasters, comedians and mainstream Democrats find it hilarious. And to my knowledge, not a single Democratic politician has told their troops to tone it down. Because they like the threat of assassination to hang over Republicans. There have been three attempts on President Trump’s life, that we know of. There probably will be more, as the Democrats...

France's economy unexpectedly shrank in the third quarter while inflation rose more than anticipated, piling pressure on the government ahead of further nationwide protests this weekend that are ​making it ‌more difficult to cut spending. Finance Minister Roland Lescure warned that the economy could be "headed for a wall" if parliament fails to approve a deficit-reducing budget soon.

Dave Chappelle, Jennifer Welch just tip of hateful, alarming icebergSam Morril created an entire bit around a dead baby.The comic found bleak humor in the reaction to an alligator killing an infant. He focused more on a comedy club patron’s outrage, expanding the bit in the process. Dark? Yes. Funny? For some.Morril wasn’t gleeful that a child had died, but he used it to explore the boundaries of humor and why we get outraged by select jokes and not others. Plus, black comedy allows us to process grief. It’s called gallows humor. Dave Chappelle’s latest rant is different. And, sadly,...

President Trump admitted his hardline immigration policy went too far after the GOP’s sweeping losses in the midterm elections last week. Trump said his administration’s rapid deportations turned off some Americans during a “60 Minutes” interview Sunday, following Republicans losing the Hispanic vote last Tuesday. “I think it was too tough,” the president said of his deportation policy. “For getting people out, I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out,” he said. “But I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that– that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that...
