President Joe Biden was interrupted by three separate hecklers on Monday night at his final campaign rally ahead of the midterm election.
'You're a disgrace,' one of them shouted at the president.
It's unclear if Biden saw all of them. One was in the back of the gym where the rally took place and the crowd drowned out another one.
But the president did address one of them, telling the man wearing a large Uncle Sam top hat: 'Don't jump. You look crazy enough to jump.'
Gunmen killed an American aid worker living in Baghdad, Iraq, on Monday, authorities have confirmed.
The American was reportedly living in the Karrada district and was on his way home when one car cut him off before the gunmen in a separate car opened fire, according to the Associated Press.
The man's wife and child were in the car, but were unharmed.

Pennsylvania voters are lining up to cast new ballots after GOP efforts to block voters from fixing errors on their mail-in ballots failed.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court last week invalidated thousands of ballots because of incorrect or missing dates.
Thousands of Pennsylvania voters were notified of the errors and given a chance to fix their ballots.
The line at City Hall in Philadelphia ‘snaked outside the building,’ according to the Washington Post.
The Justice Department will send monitors to 24 states in an effort to ensure compliance with federal voting rights laws in Tuesday's elections.
The action, which occurs regularly on Election Day, comes as civil rights groups and the federal government have raised alarm over potential voter intimidation at some polling places and ballot boxes.
The 2022 election is playing out against the backdrop of persistent falsehoods made by former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies about losing the 2020 vote, a relentless campaign that will have implications as people cast their ballots.
Democrats, on the other hand,
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said that he would not support Mitch McConnell for Senate Majority Leader if the Republican Party takes back the Senate on Tuesday.
The senator made his declaration during a campaign stop on Monday, according to political reporter Galen Bacharier.
“I don’t imagine I will, no,” Hawley reportedly said when asked if he would support Mitch McConnell. “I’m not sure if any other senator will run or not. Nobody’s indicated they would. But my view is that we need new leadership in that position.”
Bacharier added that “Hawley ticked off a list of decisions over the last 2 years he disagreed on – Ukraine funding, infrastructure & public safety bills,
American novelist Thomas Wolfe noted in his 1935 work Of Time And The River that the baseball World Series regularly coincides with the ‘furious apogee’ of an election, with its ‘speeches, accusations, dire predictions and impassioned promises’.
Both events, Wolfe wrote, ‘gave the average American a thrill of pleasurable anticipation. It was the desire of a man to see a good show, to “take sides” vigorously in an exciting contest . . . but not to be too deeply troubled or concerned by the result’.
What a difference 90-odd years can make. For according to President Joe Biden, today’s midterm elections are not between the Democrats and Republicans, but between democracy itself

Pro-Life Activists Are Being ‘Locked
Up’ By Federal Officials replies
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied a claim made by former President Donald Trump that pro-life activists are being “locked up” by the Biden administration.
Trump said at a campaign rally in Iowa Thursday that the administration and “radical Democrats” are “locking up pro-life activists” and “persecuting” their political opponents. The press secretary denied this claim when asked to respond at Monday’s briefing.
“Clearly that’s not true,” she said. “I’m not going to say more than that. It’s just not true, it’s false, it’s a lie, it’s not true. So I’m going to move on.” (Video)
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., is getting blasted by his opponent as "radical" after his wife was recorded talking to two undercover journalists about how Democrats shouldn't talk about what's really in the Inflation Reduction Act and how they could defund the police "quietly."

Yes, we’re going to make energy more expensive.
That’s Joe Biden’s closing message for 2022. “We’re going to be shutting these [coal] plants down all across America and having wind and solar,” Biden told a crowd in deep blue California on Friday, arguing that it was “cheaper” to generate electricity from wind and solar.
Is it? In California, which not only leads the nation in “clean energy” production but is leading the rest of us into rolling blackouts, residents pay 24.62 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, around double the national average.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sided with a death row inmate in Ohio in her first written opinion since joining the Supreme Court this summer.
Jackson, who was joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, wrote a dissenting opinion objecting to the Supreme Court's decision to reject an appeal from Davel Chinn, the death row inmate, who was convicted of a 1989 murder in Dayton.
Chinn's lawyers had petitioned the court to take his case, arguing that the prosecution withheld evidence that a key witness who identified him as the shooter was mentally disabled.
A tranche of thousands of mail-in ballots in Philadelphia could be rejected.
Lists disclosed by the Philadelphia City commissioners showed that roughly 3,500 voters in the city have at least one of four problems following a recent decision by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania including, missing a signature on the outer envelope, missing a date on the outer envelope, giving an incorrect date on the outer envelope, or sending in a “naked ballot” without the inner envelope, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
These ballots, which come from mostly older voters and trend Democratic, may be rejected unless voters take action. This includes requesting a replacement ballot
It's Still About Trump

One thing that appears certain before the Midterms, tomorrow, is that Trump has won this battle: The Midterms are significantly about Trump and his vision for America. This is exactly what Trump has sought to accomplish—with his endorsements and campaigning—and what he has successfully accomplished. The Dems somehow thought it would be a good idea to help Trump in this, and we’re about to see the results in solid showings by Trump’s cadre of candidates.
Democrat Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman said in a memo to reporters to “buckle up for a long week” because the ballot counting process could take “several days.”
Why?
The only reason why Democrats need to count ballots for several days after Election Day is to overcome the Republican candidate’s vote count and steal the election.
Fetterman used the 2020 election as an example in his memo to reporters and recalled how Trump was ahead by more than 700,000 votes at midnight on Election Day in Pennsylvania but still lost after the Democrats counted ballots in secret for Joe Biden for 2 weeks.

If you want a bit of schadenfreude on Election Eve, some new polls might leave you grinning. Over the weekend, new data showed Democrats that minorities are migrating to Republican candidates in a historic shift, and the electorate sees them as focused on all the wrong things. All Democrats had to do was not be crazy. Biden inherited an economy in recovery and a nation looking to take a collective deep breath. Instead, Democrats decided to destroy the economy and push transing the kids. Voters noticed. According to a Wall Street Journal poll, 17% of black voters would pick a Republican candidate for Congress.
The Pathetic Democratic Pantheon

Over the last few months the four icons of the Democratic Party—Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi—have hit the campaign trail.
They’ve weighed in on everything from “right-wing violence” and “election denialists” to the now tired “un-American” semi-fascist MAGA voter—and had nothing much to say about inflation, the border, crime, energy, or the Afghanistan debacle. In this, they remind us just how impoverished and calcified is this left-wing pantheon.
So why should we take anything they say seriously, given their own records—and especially given their mastery of projecting their own shortcomings upon others as some sort of private exculpation or preemptive political strategy?
What is driving the defection of working, middle-class voters—who make up the majority of the electorate—from the Democratic Party? The answer: Democrats' priorities are substantially out-of-touch with this group specifically, and with those of the largely populist American electorate generally. These are the findings of a new national survey. The poll, which measured the core values and beliefs of 900 likely midterm election voters, found that nearly 70 percent of the electorate embraces a populist outlook, either fully or partially, which is grounded in a desire for politicians to focus on the most immediate barriers to individual advancement.

On Monday morning ahead of Tuesday’s almost certain Republican tsunami at the ballot box, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) and CBS Mornings moved away from a fixation on abortion or vague warnings about the fate of democracy if voters choose incorrectly.
Instead, they engaged in voter suppression by hinting a vote for Republicans could be enabling violent individuals who’d cause violence and/or cause serious doubts to be raised about our country’s future. GMA co-host Amy Robach didn’t mince words, insisting there are “rising voting threats” as “[i]ntelligence officials say extremists could target election infrastructure, personnel, or even voting sites.”

NEW YORK — Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul claims her GOP challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin is “hyperventilating” over the crime problems in the state.

“And New Yorkers are on to it,” the governor said. “All the legitimate media organizations have called him out for what he is doing — fear-mongering,” she said.

A campaign staffer for Republican Arizona gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake is under medical supervision after opening an envelope containing a “suspicious white powder” that was received at the candidate’s campaign headquarters on Saturday, an act of political terror that isn’t likely to get much play in the media let alone be condemned by Democrats.
On the weekend before what is arguably the most important election in the state’s history, Lake’s campaign command center was shut down at the most critical juncture of the campaign, being swarmed by law enforcement including Phoenix police, the FBI as well as hazmat and bomb squad teams.
Billionaire Elon Musk urged undecided voters to back Republican candidates ahead of critical midterm elections on Tuesday that will determine control of Congress.

The predicted Red Wave now looks inevitable, as we have watched The Sudden Republican Momentum® narrative unfold as expected in such cycles. Despite a last-moment Hail Mary from NBC News in giving Dems a +1 in their latest generic-ballot poll — which would still look good for Republicans — the current RCP aggregate average gives the GOP a 2.5% advantage and support at a year-long high.

As the lull before the storm continues prior to election day, the takes continue to get dumber.

Enter Politico, which decided it’d be a great idea to drop an article about election fraud on the eve of voters going to the polls.

The survey, from NBC News, did provide some good news for Democrats, finding that they had caught up in enthusiasm for midterm voting with Republican respondents.

Roll the tape back to early March of 2020, when the Democratic establishment closed ranks around Joe Biden after he had performed miserably in all of the early primaries. They managed to put Biden over the top in the South Carolina primary, and conveniently persuaded several competitors in the field to drop out and endorse him. The motive for this was transparent: it appeared that Bernie Sanders might run away with the Democratic nomination, and Bernie was a sure loser to Trump, COVID or no COVID.
And good ol’ Joe, he was as familiar as an old shoe, and above all a moderate, who promised

Hispanic Americans, gravitating to the nationalist-populist wing of the Republican Party, are turning on Democrats over the top issues in this year’s midterm elections: Crime, inflation, immigration, and a corporate-backed woke social agenda.

The closer we got to the midterm elections, the more desperate Democrats have been to either downplay the crime wave or blame it all on Republicans. But it turns out that the FBI has been making it more difficult to get accurate crime data as well.
For months, Democrats and the press have argued that crime isn’t as bad as it’s being made to seem and that Republicans are sensationalizing it to scare voters.

This inevitably raises the following question: Do the Democrats have the capacity to learn anything from defeat?

It was Trump’s first attempt at branding the Florida governor with one of his well-known nicknames.
