Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) talks about the nomination of Kamala Harris during an interview with Semafor's Kadia Goba. … KADIA GOBA, SEMAFOR: You had reportedly said you wanted a sort of an open primary when Joe Biden stepped down. Did you change your mind because you saw all the excitement around Kamala Harris? REP. NANCY PELOSI: No, I didn't change my mind. We had an open primary and she won it. Nobody else got in the race because she was politically astute and that was the thought. [APPLAUSE] Let's show our talent. We have a great bench, all...

While Vice President Kamala Harris surges ahead in polls against her Republican rival Donald Trump, she hasn’t found much traction in the business and investing world. Hedge fund manager John Paulson, the founder of New York-based investment firm Paulson & Co. said on Tuesday in a media appearance that he would pull his money off the market in the eventuality of a Harris win, while Tesla CEO Elon Musk flagged something even more ominous. The market timing and investor timing will depend on who the president is, said Paulson in an interview with Fox News. “If Harris was elected [I]...

Former President Donald Trump and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) have done more than ten times the interviews their opponents, Vice President Kamala Harris and vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) have done, according to a report. Axios compiled the numbers of interviews that both sides have given, which show a stark contrast in their willingness to explain to the American public what their policies and stances are. In fact, the Harris-Walz campaign is on pace to do fewer interviews and press conferences than “any major party’s presidential pairing in modern history,” Axios reported.

Polling, why is it so bad? Its election cycle, and as you know in this day and age with every poll that comes out and plethora of headlines and stories will be written about it, because polling apparently is now a replacement for news.. and has been for a long long time now during election season. Every new poll will be reported both professionally and among the punditry as either the end of days, or the greatest news ever to come about, depending on where in the political spectrum the pundit lies and whether their candidate is up or down....

ROME — The Church is much more “alive” outside of the Western world, and pastors need to become less “Eurocentric” in their vision of Christianity, Pope Francis said Wednesday. Reflecting upon his recently completed apostolic visit to Asia and Oceania, the pope expressed his concern that “in thinking of the Church, we are still too Eurocentric, or as they say, ‘Western.’” In reality, “the Church is much bigger, much bigger than Rome and Europe, much bigger!” he said, addressing the crowds gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly general audience.

The former Chief Patrol Agent (CPA) for the San Diego Sector, and prior to that, the CPA for the Grand Forks Sector, responsible for border security operations along 861 miles of the U.S and Canadian border, issued explosive evidence against the Biden-Harris administration on Tuesday, saying he was warned not to release any information on the increase in illegal immigrants with ties to terrorism crossing the border illegally. “The only true consequence we have to slow down and discourage people from coming into the United States illegally is sending them back to their country of origin,” Former CPA Aaron Heitke...

New Yorkers really are tough — to please! Gov. Kathy Hochul’s favorability rating has sunk lower than President Donald Trump’s among likely Empire State voters, a newly released Siena College poll shows. Only 34% of likely New York voters said they had a favorable opinion of the Democratic governor, compared with 39% Trump. The poll conducted last week also had Hochul’s unfavorability rating at 54%, its highest ever, putting her net favorability at -20%. Trump’s net favorability sits at -18%. “To repeat, Kathy Hochul has a lower net favorability rating in New York than Donald Trump,” Siena poll spokesperson Steve...

A data scientist who predicted the outcome of the 2020 presidential election has anticipated a landslide for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, in a blow to former president Donald Trump's hopes to reclaim the White House.

Governments are pushing the public to switch to smart vehicles to reduce fossil fuel consumption, but there is also a second motive – surveillance. This September, Ford filed a new patent to eavesdrop on riders. They plan to share this information with third-parties to personalize the advertisements riders hear. Ford will also take the driver’s destination into consideration to determine location-specific advertisements and suggestions. The technology will factor in the weather, traffic, and all external sensors to fine tune when and what to market to passengers. Advertisements are perhaps the least ominous use of voice data based on the plans...

1 in 3 Minneapolis Public Housing residents are Somalis... Glass ceilings get broken, then wallets get stolen. Only in America? No. Only in Gov. Walz’s Minnesota. But first, let’s pause to celebrate the incredible historic moment of the first Somali refugee to run a public housing agency. Sharmarke Issa was confirmed by the Minneapolis City Council to chair Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA). Issa is the first immigrant and first East African to serve as chair of the MPHA Board of Commissioners. “Having grown up in in Minneapolis public housing after coming to our city as a refugee, Sharmarke’s story...

Harris thinks her delays, deceptions, and vilifications for the next 47 days will ensure her victory. Cynically running out the clock has been the overarching principle of the entire abbreviated 105-day presidential campaign of Kamala Harris—ever since Joe Biden, at the 11th-hour, dropped out in July. Harris seems unwilling or unable to answer any impromptu question that she has not been previously prepped for. Her answers at the debate were memorized and canned. They never addressed the questions asked. Her single, 11-minute post-debate Philadelphia interview was a shipwreck of dodging and dissimulating—even though the host was sympathetically left-wing. Even socialist...

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) — Wednesday evening in Springfield, community members gathered in peaceful protest of the false claims about Haitians. On Park Road in Springfield, there was a parade of residents showing that hate has no home in the city. Signs displayed messages to the Haitian community that they have support. “Especially us as Haitians… we need unity here. We need a Springfield united. So this sends out a big message. For those who have been spreading false information, now they can see we are not bad people,” said Jacob Payen, Haitian Community Alliance spokesperson. That support is reaching the...

Vice President Kamala Harris edges former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, as more voters see Harris as the candidate who will help the middle class, and Hispanics and independents swing in her direction. The new Fox News national survey finds a 3 percentage-point shift among registered voters in the 2024 presidential contest since mid-August. Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50%-48%. For reference, in July, Trump was ahead by 1 point over President Biden. Each of those differences falls within the margin of error. This marks the first time Harris...

Earlier this month, four Venezuelan members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang who were arrested in Colorado were confirmed as illegal aliens, according to a statement made by an ICE spokesperson to Fox News. The Venezuelan nationals were in the age ranges of 19 through 24, and they all crossed the southern border via Texas illegally in 2022 and 2023, under the Biden regime’s watch. Aurora police arrested all four of them and ice placed detainer requests on two of the Venezuela nationals. The four Venezuelan nationals were arrested following a shooting which took place close to Nome Street...

A new Fox News poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by just two points and within the margin of error. Surveying 1,102 registered voters between September 13-16 with a margin of error +/- 3 percent, the poll showed that Kamala Harris improved her standing by three points since August, during which the two had the first presidential debate and there was a second assassination attempt on Trump’s life. “Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50 percent to 48 percent,” Fox News noted. “For reference, in July,...

Hillary Clinton has long been one of the most anti-free speech figures in American politics, including calling upon European officials to force Elon Musk to censor American citizens under the infamous Digital Services Act (DSA). She is now suggesting the arrest of Americans who spread what she considers disinformation. It is a crushingly ironic moment since it was her campaign that funded the infamous Steele dossier and spread false stories of Russian collusion during her presidential campaign. Presumably, that disinformation would not be treated as criminal viewpoints. Speaking on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show this week, Clinton was asked about...

“Many supporters seated behind Trump onstage went to the ER after the rally with “blurred vision” and “burning” to the eyes. I spoke to several who still have not fully recovered. As many as 20 were affected,” Kelly wrote on X. The cause of the symptoms remains unknown, and an active investigation is underway. Supporters from the “Latinos for Trump” group were among the most severely impacted, including Pastor Eli Moreno and his wife, Francesca. Pastor Moreno described mild discomfort, but his wife’s symptoms were far worse. “Her vision blurred, her face swelled up, and we had to rush to...
