THOUSANDS of witches are plotting to cast a "binding spell" on Donald Trump on Halloween, so that he loses the US election. The mystic women believe that the two full moons this month have given them extra magical powers to kick Trump out of the White House. The witches are also celebrating the rare confluence of the two "powerful" moon events in October - in effort to get Joe Biden elected in November.

Anyone who has read this byline over the years knows that I'm not in the prediction business. I rarely take the precious space this fine website grants me to tell you what I think or believe may happen in the future, especially when it comes to how Americans will vote. Anyone who tries to predict how the American electorate will respond to the candidacy of Donald Trump is lying to you and themselves and engaged in a fool's errand. This is a political figure who has defied every ounce of conventional wisdom in the five short years he has been...

It might seem obvious, but in all the racket that follows a debate, the most important focus is how it affects the race, if at all.It was a solid debate, despite more questions geared toward former Vice President Joe Biden and against President Donald Trump, and with moderator Kristen Welker interrupting the president 24 times to Biden’s two, by Fox’s count. On the most important count, however, Trump won the debate hands down. Here’s three reasons why.Pennsylvania As Welker attempted to move from energy to the next topic in the last half hour of the debate, Trump asked a...

(Translation) WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is following his own advice and plans to vote for the presidential election in person in Florida on Saturday. Trump was traveling on Friday to his home state to head campaign rallies in The Villages and in Pensacola. He is scheduled to spend the night at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach and said he will vote on Saturday before flying north to more campaign events. Trump revealed his plans Thursday night following the presidential debate with Democrat Joe Biden. At the beginning of the year, when making unfounded statements about fraud related to...

Come on, man! (x50?)

Are both presidential candidates trying to lose? Or at least pursuing campaign strategies which put them at grave risk of defeat? In nearly four years, Donald Trump has made little effort to win over the 50 percent-plus of voters who didn't support him in 2016. Having proved that he could win the presidency without a plurality of the popular vote, he has ignored the possibility that he could govern more effectively if he were reelected with an absolute majority. You can see the results as Trump supporters scan the polling data for encouraging information. They quickly pass over the national...

resident Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden met in the second and final debate ahead of the Nov. 3 election Thursday night, with the president seeking to pin down Biden on recent corruption allegations. NBC News held the debate in Nashville, Tennessee, with reporter Kristen Welker moderating. The debate was the first in which each candidate was muted for the duration of his opponent’s allotted two minute response time for each question. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) resorted to the measure after the first debate featuring Trump and Biden routinely talking over one another. Trump and Biden were...

(Translation) San Juan, Oct. 18 (EFE).- Supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump in Puerto Rico held this Sunday a caravan throughout [the capital] San Juan to show their endorsement for a second term, despite the [island's] residents being unable to vote in [the] November 3 [presidential] election while being U.S. citizens. Since July 25, 1952, Puerto Rico defines itself as a U.S. Commonwealth, a status that confers some autonomy thanks to its own constitution but leaves under Washington's control certain matters such as borders, defense, diplomatic relations, or currency. Puerto Ricans [in the island] cannot vote for President because, according...

VIDEO Neutral referee Chuck Todd plays it so straight down the middle that you can't tell which candidate he favors in this report comparing the two campaigns. Nope. Absolutely no bias can be detected on his part.

Although most viewers will not be on the edge of their seats for the final presidential debate tonight, it will be nothing short of a spectacle of frenzied accusations, heated tempers, and vague and incomplete policy descriptions. Debates rarely sway support for either candidate. However, since the first encounter between President Donald Trump and Joe Biden was widely labeled anything but a debate, and the second planned meeting between the two was hastily cancelled, the final debate will give voters one last opportunity to measure each candidate as they spar on the same stage. And it will no doubt provide...

The Big Tech moguls are sparing no expense in their attempt to destroy President Donald Trump’s re-election bid and help Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden claim the White House. Democratic super PAC Future Forward, “backed by some of Silicon Valley’s biggest donors is quietly unleashing a torrent of television spending in the final weeks of the presidential campaign in a last-minute attempt to oust President Donald Trump,” according to Vox Recode. The super PAC's “barrage of late money" includes at least $22 million from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Also, the spending by the super PAC “figures among one of the...

As its global image takes a big hit, the Chinese Communist Party is using an arsenal of spin, obfuscation, hyperbole, and outright disinformation to win back its reputation. Back in June China reported to the U.S. Department of Justice that one of its English language publications has paid $19 million to U.S. media since November 2016, including $12 million in payments to major U.S. newspapers like The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. China’s influence is growing and the Democrats are ready to accept that reality. Current President of the U.S. Donald Trump accused the world’s second-largest economy back...

Sen. Mitt Romney is among the 220,000 Utahns who have already cast his ballot and, not surprisingly, he did not vote for President Donald Trump. Romney talking to CNN’s Manu Raju on Wednesday wouldn’t say who he voted for, though.

Under immense pressure by the media and other Democratic operatives, at a time when nearly all global leaders were using the pandemic as an excuse to seize greater control, Trump did not. When President Donald Trump returned from Walter Reed Hospital, where he was being treated for COVID-19, he landed on the White House lawn in Marine One, walked up to the White House, scaled the steps, and waved from the balcony. It was a beautiful scene for tens of millions of Americans who had spent days in prayer for their president. The media reaction was beyond hysterical. Some said...

Dilbert cartoonist-turned-political Scott Adams stunned MSNBC viewers on Monday by predicting, on the air, that President Donald Trump would win re-election. LinkOn Tuesday morning, Adams had practical advice for Trump: announce a “road map” towards making cheap home tests for coronavirus universally available. Adams noted an article at Reason.com explaining that technology for cheap coronavirus home testing is being developed. Reason’s Ronald Bailey estimated that every American could eventually be tested, every week, at a total annual cost of $20 billion: It would cost around $20 billion to provide 330 million Americans with rapid at-home test kits costing $1 each...

Pollster Frank Luntz made headlines Tuesday for calling President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign “the worst campaign I’ve ever seen.” However, he said the same thing in 2016, before Trump went on to win the election.

Remember when media outlets like BBC were casting shade on President Donald Trump for placing the blame for the out-of-control West Coast wildfires on forest mismanagement? It looks like NBC News just admitted that the president may have been right about forest mismanagement. Yet, the outlet still tried to pin some of the blame on climate change. NBC News published a story admitting that “Decades of mismanagement led to choked forests — now it's time to clear them out, fire experts say.” NBC News immediately tried to throw the eco-spin on their own admission: “as climate change continues to fuel...

President Donald Trump said on a Monday campaign staff call that he plans on doing 5 rallies a day leading up to the election. “We are going to win,” the president said, according to New York Post reporter Ebony Bowden. “I wouldn’t have told you that maybe two or three weeks ago.” Link“We’re going to win. You’re going to work your assess off,” Trump added. “The only way we can lose this election is if they cheat.” The president also told his campaign team to ignore negative news. Trump was forced to take time off from in-person appearances on the...

Google’s video platform, YouTube, doesn’t want people to know the Michigan kidnapping plot’s alleged ringleader considered President Trump an “enemy.” The man, now in federal custody, is named Brandon Caserta, and he made a series of videos while preparing his kidnapping plot against Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer. In one such video, Caserta expounds on his anarchist philosophy, calling President Trump an enemy. “Trump is not your friend, dude,” Caserta says. “And it amazes me that people actually, like, believe that, when he’s shown over and over and over again that he’s a tyrant. Every single person that works for government...
