America's largest archdiocese has agreed to pay a record-breaking $880million to more than 1,000 people who were sexually abused as children by clergy members. The settlement announced Wednesday by lawyers for the 1,353 people who have filed suits against the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and its attorneys represents the largest single payout by any diocese in the United States, according to the New York Times. It also brings Los Angeles' cumulative total payouts in sex abuse lawsuits over a quarter of a century to more than $1.5billion.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media platform X to sound the alarm on a disturbing incident reported by a voter in Whitfield County, Georgia’s 14th district.
According to Greene, a constituent in Whitfield County noticed that their printed ballot did not reflect the selections they made on the voting machine, particularly changing their vote away from candidates they had chosen.
According to a viral Facebook post:
“FYI to all my voting friends and family a friend of mine in Whitfield County yesterday voted/ checked his selections then printed it checked the printed version and it was not marked the same !!!
Experts largely agree that Pennsylvania is the most important state in this election. The candidate who wins Pennsylvania is highly favored to win the entire election.This year, a key Senate race is also happening in the state, as Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa.) fights what is likely his toughest election yet. Polls have shown a tight race, and Donald Trump’s recent momentum could shift some races in favor of down-ballot Republicans as well.
That’s why Casey’s latest ad caught my attention.
The ad features a couple, Marygrace and Joe, from Old Forge, Pa.
"I'm a Republican," says Marygrace in the ad.
"And I'm a Democrat," says Joe.
Fans at Florida’s Disney World theme park are furious and offended over the extremely high prices of the food at a new bakery opening this fall with a single slice of cake priced as high as $26, and a Coca Cola at $8 a cup.
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers which will open soon on the BoardWalk at Disney World in Orland, Florida, is set to replace the ESPN Club which was closed in 2020. But Disney fans are already ripping the new shop before it has even opened after the bakery’s price list was revealed on Reddit.
Around 100 British left-wing activists are being funded to campaign for Kamala Harris in swing states, leading to allegations of election interference and even American electoral law being broken.
A social media post by the Director of Operations of the UK’s governing party, Labour, recruiting “Labour Party staff” for campaigning in North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia has caused concern. The message from Labour’s Sofia Patel promised paid-for accommodation for those taking up the offer. She wrote, in the now-deleted post:
I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to
As Townhall has been covering, Vice President Kamala Harris skipped out on the Al Smith dinner event benefiting Catholic Charities on Thursday night to instead campaign in Wisconsin, a key battleground state. During the event, she took to her favorite talking points, harping on January 6. In doing so, and while attacking former and potentially future President Donald Trump, she ended up lying about the day in question. Harris' remarks were a trending topic over X for Thursday night, especially when it comes to January 6, as she claimed, "140 law enforcement officers were injured that day, law enforcement officers were killed that day."

Washington— The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.
The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.
The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part
Former President Donald Trump acted to mend fences with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer backstage at Thursday night’s Al Smith Dinner — before kicking them down again with a joke about the Brooklyn Democrat’s odds of becoming the “first woman president.”
“You’re my guy, you’re my guy,” Trump, 78, said as he warmly shook Schumer’s hand with both of his ahead of the $5,000-a-plate charity soiree, according to a source close to both men.
Schumer, 73, was seated center stage at the white-tie event, but stood up and clapped for the 45th president, who was seated just two places away — next to host Cardinal Timothy Dolan and
Lizzo is reportedly joining Vice President Kamala Harris for a get-out-the-vote event in Detroit this weekend.
The rapper will campaign with the Democratic presidential nominee on Saturday, according to CNN's White House correspondent Priscilla Alvarez. This comes as the Harris-Walz campaign tries to "harness celebrity figures to boost early voting." (X) Lizzo has been an outspoken supporter of Harris and showed support for the candidate immediately following President Joe Biden's forced exit from the 2024 race.

Incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Casey is panicking in Pennsylvania, and the surest sign of that comes from his latest political ad.
With challenger Dave McCormick closing in and Donald Trump holding a small but steady lead in the key swing state, Casey has begun running ads that paint him as a supporter of the former president. No, I'm not kidding. The rubber stamp for Chuck Schumer and his cohorts is claiming to have "bucked Biden" while standing behind Trump's trade policies.

We now have two polls that show the Trump-Vance ticket topping the Harris-Walz ticket in favorability and caring.
Rasmussen Reports surveyed 1,683 likely voters between October 14-16 and asked a straightforward question: “Which candidate for president cares the most about people like you?” Sitting Vice President Kamala Harris earned just 45 percent of the vote. Former President Trump topped her with 49 percent.
On this question, Trump won the male vote by a 12 percent margin, 53 to 41 percent. Harris topped Trump by five points with women but still hit a ceiling at 50 percent to Trump’s 45 percent.
Among black voters, Trump earned an incredible (for a Republican)
Vice President Kamala Harris dumped her so-called “campaign of joy” messaging for a more angry, bitter, and nasty tone with less than three weeks until Election Day.
Polling shows Harris lost momentum in the past weeks while using the “campaign of joy.” Her new strategy appears to be the use of President Joe Biden’s 2020 and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 playbook that demonizes former President Donald Trump as unhinged, unstable, and unchecked.
Politico Playbook reported the shift on Friday:
You can see the change on the campaign trail, where Harris’ early emphasis on joy has given way to more direct verbal attacks on Trump, including playing video of him,
Gaffigan repeatedly took shots at the Democratic nominee during Thursday night’s glitzy event in Manhattan after Harris became the first presidential candidate in 40 years to skip the light-hearted Catholic charity bash.
“You know, this event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. I’m sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?” the jokester said as he emceed the charity dinner.

The typically mild-mannered and tight-lipped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell privately laced into former President Donald Trump and sobbed during the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol, an upcoming book claims.
McConnell (R-Ky.), 82, slammed Trump, 78, as “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “narcissist” and a “despicable human being” behind closed doors toward the end of his administration, according to a preview of the book “The Price of Power” from the Associated Press.
“It’s not just the Democrats who are counting the days” until Trump’s White House departure, McConnell told associates in confidence, per the AP.
“[Trump’s conduct] only underscores the good judgment of the American people.
Kamala is done!
Kamala Harris sat down for a one-on-one interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.
This is the first non-softball interview of her life and she totally cracked under pressure.
A completely unhinged Kamala Harris began screaming about democracy!
“[Trump] talked about locking people up because they disagree with him! This is a democracy!” Kamala Harris shouted. “And in a democracy the president of the United States in the United States of America should be willing to be able to handle criticism without saying he would lock people up for doing it!”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump was “unqualified to be president” because he is “increasingly unstable and unhinged.”
Clinton said, “The vice president has pivoted toward the closing argument. The closing argument has two parts. The closing argument is what kind of country do we want to be? What kind of people are we? Do we want to be divided? Do we want to be set into arguments with each other that we can’t agree on solving our problems? She is qualified to bring our country together and he is not.”

A Georgia judge ruled that county election board members cannot block the certification of votes based on suspicions of fraud just weeks before the 2024 presidential election.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox ruled on Wednesday that seven new election rules recently passed by the State Election Board are “illegal, unconstitutional, and void.” The measures had been a controversial subject between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris's surrogates in the battleground state.
The rules, passed last month in a 3-2 vote by the Republican majority on the elections board, had received much attention.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House.
The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake.
Baier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow many illegal border-crossers to await asylum rulings inside the US, before asking
Four Kamala Harris staffers waved their arms pleading to end Harris’s much-anticipated but widely panned Fox News Channel’s Special Report interview, Bret Baier revealed Wednesday night.
Baier, who interviewed Kamala Harris, made the shocking revelation during the post-interview broadcast, saying he had many questions he was unable to ask Harris before the interview wrapped. “You know, I’m talking like four people waving their hands like, ‘it’s gotta stop!'” Baier told the panel.
What happened Wednesday night to Kamala Harris on Fox News may have been the equivalent to what happened to President Joe Biden at that infamous debate in June — irreparably exposed her as unacceptable to voters.
In what was widely seen as a Hail Mary move by Kamala’s campaign, the vice president agreed to an extended interview on Fox News, one of the exceedingly few national TV interviews she’s done since she was anointed the Democrat Party’s post-Biden nominee. Remarkably, she offered nothing new in terms of her weak, often confusing answers to obvious questions, but she did finally face probing lines of inquiry and necessary follow-up

Sinwar’s death seems down to chance,

In the end, after a year-long, multi-agency manhunt involving the latest technology, Israel’s best special forces and American assistance, Yahya Sinwar appears to have been killed by regular soldiers who had stumbled into him and had no idea whom they had killed.
According to the initial reports, they were not there on an assassination operation and had no prior intelligence that they could be in the vicinity of the elusive Hamas leader, architect of the 7 October attacks, the man Israel most wanted to kill. It was only after they took a closer look at his face and found identity documents on him that the troops realised they had got Sinwar.
Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas and the architect of the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7, 2023, brutal rampage across southern Israel, has been killed in a raid in the Gaza Strip, Israel said Thursday.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed the reports Thursday afternoon in Jerusalem, citing DNA tests taken after the operation. Israel military officials earlier in the day said that it was “highly likely” that Mr. Sinwar, the lead target in Israel’s military incursion into Gaza, was dead.
Mr. Katz hailed the news as a “military and moral achievement for the Israeli army.” Hamas, which is closely allied to Iran, did not issue a statement
Former Hamas head Yahya Sinwar could be seen throwing a stick at the IDF drone that targeted him on Thursday moments before his assassination, Israel's military showed in released footage.
In the footage, a masked Sinwar is circled in red with the stick that he threw at the drone. Sinwar can then be seen throwing the stick in the direction of the drone as he sits on a couch surrounded by the rubble of the building he was located within. IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari released the footage late on Thursday night during his statement confirming Sinwar's death, where he described the events leading up to the assassination.
I never thought that I would fear for my life in my own home until it happened this year.
In 2023, I began to notice significant changes in my apartment complex in Aurora, Colo., less than 20 miles from the sanctuary city of Denver.
Local media have since reported that officials began busing illegal Venezuelan migrants into the area in December 2022 — but no one told us. Members of Tren de Aragua – a vicious Venezuelan prison gang that has brought sex trafficking and violent crime into communities across our country — began patrolling my apartment building with guns, beating down doors and demanding keys from my neighbors.
