In every election there are moments, some obvious at the time, some less so, that shape the state of the race, leaving public opinion on the ground, and eventually in the polls, very different from how they found it. This year is no exception and since the contest hit the final stretch under early September skies, there are five events -- twists in the road -- that have led to the general sense of panic we see among Democrats, and renewed confidence for the Republicans. It is worth remembering that at the end of August, Kamala Harris was firmly leading, Donald Trump was being bashed, even

You've no doubt heard the phrase, "Nero fiddled while Rome burned." America isn't exactly burning, but millions of our fellow citizens are suffering from a series of disasters − natural and human-made.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, meanwhile, spent a significant part of the past week discussing Doritos and naps with shock jock Howard Stern, vibing and drinking beer on air with comedian Stephen Colbert and fielding questions from those hard-hitting journalists who host "The View." While Harris yapped with Stern, thousands of citizens in western North Carolina, recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, tried to cope without running water and electricity. Millions

CBS News’ Race and Culture Unit needs to sign off on show scripts that could potentially offend particular viewers, according to a former staffer with knowledge of the process.
A former CBS employee told Fox News Digital the broadcast network's Race and Culture Unit vetted "basically every story" that could potentially be considered culturally sensitive.
The former employee said show producers were "required" to send drafts of show scripts to an email chain with members of the Race and Culture Unit as well as the standards and practices unit and could only proceed if they signed off.

I know the conventional wisdom is that this election is too close to call. And it is. Predictions on the outcome are little better than guesses.
Still, this is Washington. And while prognostications in U.S. politics is fraught with risk, it doesn’t stop most of us — even though we know that, if you are right, nobody cares, and if you are wrong, it goes on your Wikipedia page forever. Predictions are pedestrian, oftentimes biased, and generally uninteresting. But the reasoning behind them might occasionally offer something of value.
So, here’s the uninteresting part: I think that Donald Trump is going to win.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments about owning a “Glock” are proving to be, more than just a short-lived embarrassment, a microcosm of the problem plaguing her candidacy. Like other failed campaigns before, Harris’ camp seems to believe the public can be hoodwinked with prepared lines and ads and images that are at odds with the candidate’s record and identity.
“Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Harris said on stage in Philadelphia last month during her debate with Donald Trump. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away.”

After halting donations to his alma mater last year, a former University of Pennsylvania donor has redirected $5 million to Israeli universities instead, citing the Ivy League institution's refusal to address antisemitism on campus. David Magerman, a venture capitalist and philanthropist, has reallocated millions in donations to universities in Israel after witnessing the anti-Israel protests and antisemitism that has permeated U.S. college campuses in the months following October 7, he told Fox News Digital.
Magerman said he will give $1 million grants to five institutions of higher learning across Israel

A video showing Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D., feeding a kneeling "feminist" podcast host a Doritos chip while wearing a Harris/Walz cameo campaign hat, prompted questions and criticisms on Thursday.
Author and filmmaker Liz Plank shared the video on her Instagram account "feministabulous" showing Whitmer feeding her a Doritos chip while she is kneeling.
"If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will," a caption under the Instagram video post reads. "Chips aren’t just delicious, the CHIPS Act is a game-changer for U.S. tech and manufacturing, boosting domestic production of semiconductors to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers! Donald Trump would put that at risk."

If former President Donald Trump wins a second term in November, his triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania — the site of the first assassination attempt he survived thanks to a fortuitous head turn — could be what puts him back into the White House.
The second Butler rally was a revival, in multiple definitions of the word. It was an improvement. A return. A religious gathering, highlighted by deep excitement. There was opera singer Christopher Macchio on hand to belt out beautiful renditions of “Ave Maria” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” There was a touching tribute to Corey Comperatore, the Trump supporter who was killed at the July rally. And

When was the last time you can remember a president rebuking his own party’s nominee to succeed him with less than a month to go until Election Day?
As it turns out, for every 10 or so of his faults, President Biden does boast a virtue.
A few of his old-school instincts have survived his half-century in electoral politics, and one of those instincts is an aversion to using a crisis — like the one brought about by Hurricanes Helene and Milton — to smear his rivals.

Within minutes of Hamas jihadists breaching the Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, and commencing the largest slaughter of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Western leftists and other defenders of the genocidal Palestinian-Arab cause rallied around a talking point: "This did not occur in a vacuum." The claim, blithely offered by armchair revolutionaries without even acknowledging the many hundreds of butchered babies, sadistically tortured families, raped women and young music festivalgoers taken hostage, was that Israel had somehow impelled the horrific rampage on its own civilians. Those with a functioning moral compass recognize this as obvious terror apologia.

Former CBS News staffers are reportedly calling on the network to launch an external probe into the ongoing "60 Minutes" editing controversy. CBS News has been at the center of outrage after it aired an edited clip of Vice President Kamala Harris during its primetime "60 Minutes" election special Monday that was different from a preview of the unflattering exchange she had with veteran correspondent Bill Whitaker that was widely panned by critics.
"I think there should be an outside investigation," a former CBS News journalist told The New York Post on Thursday.
"Obviously, there’s a problem here. If they care about journalistic integrity, they would conduct an investigation

Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, remained silent Thursday on whether he still supports eliminating the Electoral College, after the Harris campaign insisted his position did not reflect that of the campaign's. "I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote," Walz said Tuesday during a campaign fundraiser at the home of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Walz made similar comments at an earlier fundraiser in Seattle, as well.
While running for president in 2019, Harris said she was "open" to the idea of abolishing the Electoral College. However,
Comments:
She’s not just mocking Catholics. She’s mocking all who celebrate and treasure the sacrament. As a Lutheran, I am equally disgusted at her contempt for my faith.
