A diversifying country is also a less trusting one, as Robert Putnam discovered—so the stressing of a common American identity is more essential than ever.

Last May, when Donald Trump held a campaign rally at Crotona Park in the South Bronx, he became the first Republican to visit the New York neighborhood for a national campaign event in 40 years. The neighborhood’s congressional district, NY-15, has long been a Democratic stronghold, with a Partisan Voting Index score of D+35 from the Cook Political Report. It is America’s poorest congressional district, with a median household income of just $32,381 in 2021 and more than one-third of households falling below the federal poverty line. Sixty-four percent of South Bronx residents identify as Hispanic, while 31 percent are black; foreign-born residents make up 32 percent of the district’s population.

Donald Trump enjoys a huge lead among men, while women tell pollsters they prefer Kamala Harris by a similarly large margin. The political gender gap reflects a decade of social upheaval and could help decide the US election.

For the first woman of colour to secure a presidential nomination, and only the second woman to ever get this close, Kamala Harris goes to great lengths not to talk about her identity.

“Listen, I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender,” the vice-president said in a CNN interview last month.

For the first time in decades, The Washington Post will not endorse a candidate in this year’s presidential election, the newspaper’s publisher announced Friday, a decision that sparked widespread outrage among the paper’s staffers.

“The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election,” Will Lewis said in a published statement. “We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”

The LA Times bailed on endorsement and MSM polls are notoriously skewed often oversampling Dem voters to juice the result.

America is at a crossroads. The radical left, led by Kamala Harris, is determined to push our nation into the depths of socialism and communism. If we don’t act now, our beloved country will never be the same. A Kamala presidency would be the final nail in the coffin for America.

If Trump prevails, we can uncover the truth of the Left’s cooperation with federal authorities to sell the Jan. 6 protest as a rebellion against the state.

If President Donald Trump prevails on Nov. 5, the Left’s long march through the institutions grinds to a halt. Ever the optimist, I am prepared to speculate that, after an initial period of disorder, the halt will be more enduring than most now believe possible.
