Election mania already underway in Arizona where man was filmed taking a machete to a Trump sign

An Arizona man was caught chopping down a Trump-Vance campaign sign with a machete after plowing into them with his car.

Authorities are investigating multiple reports of a person wearing a white T-shirt, pizza patterned pants, white slip-ons and a baseball cap vandalizing political signs in the Fortuna Foothills area.

Witnesses reported a man damaging signs near East 40th Street and South Foothills Boulevard by running them over with a vehicle, kicking them over and slashing them with a machete.

Trump makes gains as poll figures trigger anxiety for Harris campaign

Tightening poll figures have triggered nervousness and anxiety in Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, with Donald Trump making gains in the states where it matters most as the election race enters its climactic final phase.

Amid a dramatic news cycle that has seen the US hit by two destructive hurricanes and rising fears of all-out war in the Middle East, the Guardian’s 10-day polling average tracker showed the vice-president and Democratic nominee with a two-point nationwide lead, 48% to 46%, over her Republican opponent as of 10 October – tellingly, down from a 4% advantage she registered a fortnight ago.

The West’s reckless dishonesty over Lebanon

If a keffiyeh-adorned posh kid on a leafy campus were to hold forth on the Israel-Lebanon clash without once saying the word ‘Hezbollah’, none of us would be surprised. To the West’s à la mode loathers of Israel, the Jewish State is responsible for every ill in the Middle East, and its foes are always blameless. But for a world leader to do it, to pontificate on this bloody battle without mentioning the ruthless terror outfit whose rocket fire started it, is unforgivable.

It Looks Like Trump May Have Helped Himself in the Debate

I don’t think it helps to just say what people want to hear. The truth matters. And the truth is that it was not a great debate for Donald Trump on Tuesday night. I suspect he did little to no debate prep in advance, and every time Kamala baited him, he took the bait.

Trudeau should step down to prevent Conservatives from winning election because Poilievre is going to put them all in camps & murder them in their sleep and look at them funny & besides he won’t support Hamas so he’s jut evil say usual Alphabet Drama Queens

Trudeau should step down to prevent Poilievre from winning election: LGBTQ+ activists

LGBTQ+ activists say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to remain the Liberal leader through to the next election, despite dwindling public support, is putting them at risk.

Queer advocates say a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre would be dangerous for the LGBTQ+ community, and some are calling on Trudeau to step aside to give the Liberals a better chance at winning the next election — which must happen by Oct. 20, 2025.

Sarah Worthman, executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative, says she’s seriously concerned about the potential harm of a Conservative government for LGBTQ+ Canadians.

You can’t take people like this seriously, they have a weird need to justify themselves by inventing drama.

Toronto police arrest 48 people including 11 youths in ‘proactive’ gun violence initiatives

Toronto police have arrested 48 people — including 11 youths, the youngest of whom is 14-years-old — and laid 406 charges as part of two “proactive” gun violence initiatives, Projects Community and Springboard.

After seeing a rise in gun violence in their division in the beginning of the year, Toronto police’s 43 Division initiated Project Community, Det. Sgt. Jeremy Hayes told reporters.

Reducing Gun Crime in 43 Division

Officers in 43 Division seized 24 firearms and recovered three stolen vehicles through two projects initiated at the start of the year to address gun violence in the East Scarborough community.

“Since the seizure of these firearms, we have noticed a marked decrease in gun violence with one firearm discharge in July and one in August,” said Detective Jeremy Hayes.

No word on the Diversity ratio.
