In a new Axios/Harris Poll survey, nearly half of Gen Z voters copped to lying about which candidates they support when they head to the polls.
One-in-four voters overall said they had lied about their ballots, including 48 percent of Gen Z voters, 38 percent of Millennials, 17 percent of Gen Xers, and just 6 percent of Boomers and older voters.
Unlike Biden’s Administration, Trump recognized and aided the persecuted Christian peoples of Iraq.
My visit to Iraq in 2016, right before the U.S. election which produced a Trump victory, was an enlightening experience. ISIS had driven out the Christian population of the region of the Nineveh Plain, where Jonah had preached, into Iraqi Kurdistan in 2014. The refugees were still in camps when I visited, as ISIS had not been defeated. The Christians in Nineveh—mainly Catholic and Orthodox Chaldeans and Syriacs—had lived there for 2,000 years, since disciples of Christ first brought the Christian faith to that land. These people were eager to return to their ancient home, even though it was later discovered that the radical Islamists had destroyed much of their specific culture, especially their churches and Christian imagery. Because of these catastrophes, the U.S. election was on everyone’s mind, even as they struggled to survive.
Silicon Valley may pride itself on being a home for people who think outside the box. Yet when it comes to the hottest product in tech right now—artificial intelligence chatbots—there’s a stunning amount of political groupthink.
The country is evenly divided between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. But when we asked five of the biggest language models—ChatGPT, Grok, Llama via Meta AI, Claude, and DeepSeek—to assess the positions of the two presidential candidates on a multitude of pressing issues, the answers were mostly the same.
Which candidate has the “right” platform on healthcare? Abortion? Criminal justice? According to the machines, with only one exception, the answer was always Harris.
Recent poll data indicate that “swing voters” might be better described as “reluctant Trump voters.”
With Election Day just days away, the presidential race remains stubbornly tight but surprisingly fluid. According to the RealClearPolitics average on Wednesday, Donald Trump is leading in every swing state except Michigan and Wisconsin, but only within the margin of error. As of mid-October, as many as a quarter of voters in swing states said they had not made a firm decision.
Even at this late date, millions of persuadable swing-state votes remain up for grabs. Which raises the question: Who, exactly, are these voters who could end up determining the outcome of this election?
For the world’s crummiest anti-American dictators, sometimes it’s not just the art of the deal for them in relations with President Trump. The left has criticized Trump for talking to dictators for deals, but now it’s obvious that Trump as president was willing to do more than just talk.
Actually, Trump could play as hard and dirty as the dictators do — no deals, pal — and in his first term, he did.
Cheating has never looked easier
When I visited Mar-a-Lago in spring 2021 to see Donald Trump, his aides asked me not to raise the matter of the 2020 election. They wanted him forward looking and optimistic, not grousing about a past defeat. I didn’t raise the issue, but Trump inevitably did. The obvious irregularities that marked the 2020 election was his main theme that afternoon — as it remained for the next three years.
Trump saw the manner of his election defeat as a personal affront. Not only was the pausing of the ballot count on election night an assault on the constitutional rights of Americans, feeding suspicions that illegal ballots were being added to the tally to boost Joe Biden — but it was Trump who was the mark. He was cheated, and so were you, he told the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and they, too, felt the sting of a public humiliation. As I explain in my new book, Disappearing the President, Trump and his supporters were disenfranchised together in front of the whole world.
Hugh Hewitt is right: there was election interference by the Democrats in Bucks County that was so serious that a judge ordered early voting to be extended several more days! https://t.co/jTH4Zqf9WB

The King has severed the Duke of York’s “£1 million-a-year” allowance in recent weeks, it has emerged.
In an updated biography about the monarch, author Robert Hardman revealed that King Charles has instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse to “sever” his brother’s living allowance.
The new chapters of Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, serialised by the Daily Mail, includes a palace insider confirming that “the Duke is no longer a financial burden on the King”.
The man who is betting more than $30 million on a Donald Trump victory wants you to know that he isn’t trying to manipulate the U.S. election.
“My intent is just making money,” the man, who called himself Théo, said during a Zoom call with a reporter from The Wall Street Journal earlier this week. He described himself as a Frenchman who had previously lived in the U.S. and worked as a trader for banks.
Théo’s huge wagers on Polymarket—a prediction market that isn’t open to Americans—drew broad attention last month after the Journal reported that four accounts on the platform had been systematically purchasing wagers on a Trump victory. The bets lifted Trump’s odds of beating Vice President Kamala Harris, as shown on Polymarket. Blockchain data showed that the accounts were all funded by the same crypto exchange, fueling debate about the motives of the “Trump whale” behind them.

Ford demands TMU’s new med school educate qualified students ‘regardless of their race’
Premier Doug Ford is demanding Ontario’s newest medical school educate qualified individuals “regardless of their race or background,” amid backlash over the school’s plan to loosen academic qualifications and screen out prospective students by race or status.
Toronto Metropolitan University’s new medical school in Brampton is expecting more than 5,000 applicants for 94 spots, of which three-quarters will be designated for students who are Black, Indigenous, or from “equity-deserving” groups. The latter include those who identify as LGBTQ, disabled, poor, and “racialized people.” It has also loosened certain common academic requirements.
In my last column, I wrote about America after a second Trump administration, but now comes the horror show – America after a first Kamala Harris administration, which is actually a second Biden administration, which is really the third Obama administration, only dumber. It’s unclear whether America can survive it. We’re strong. We’re resilient. But the infection is deep and when you get gangrene, the only answer is to start cutting.
Election guru Nate Silver accuses pollsters of putting ‘finger on the scale,’ lying to keep presidential race close
Polling guru Nate Silver lashed out at other survey junkies in his field for “cheating” in the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election — accusing them of recycling some results to keep the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris close.
The FiveThirtyEight founder said irresponsible pollsters were “herding” their numbers, or using past results to affect current ones, to keep Vice President Harris and former President Trump within a point or two of each other each time.
You can’t tell who’s winning this race
YOU CAN’T TELL WHO’S WINNING THIS RACE. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania — There are some political races in which, if you go to a few rallies by each candidate, you get a pretty good idea of who is going to win. This presidential race is not like that. If you go to former President Donald Trump‘s rallies and Vice President Kamala Harris‘s rallies, you’ll have wildly different experiences, but you’re also going to find large crowds of highly enthusiastic voters who just love their candidate. The race is not only tied in the polls but is tied in the impressions of intensity and strength that each candidate’s events leave with an outside observer.
My heart says Trump and I believe Silver’s analysis has merit.
Newsflash: Canada is in the process of falling apart.
No, it’s not because Quebec is once again threatening to hold a referendum on separation, although this may happen again in the coming years.
Our country is experiencing a series of crises because of the deliberate policy of mass immigration instigated by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government soon after its election in 2015.
