The editor of the Los Angeles Times opinion section has resigned from her post after the newspaper’s owner prevented the editorial board from endorsing a candidate for president. Mariel Garza, editor of the illustrious newspaper’s editorials, resigned in protest of the decision by Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Times, to block the editorial staff from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review in a phone interview with her former colleague Sewell Chan. “In dangerous times, honest people

Veteran pollster Nate Silver said his “gut” right now is that former President Trump will win the election in less than two weeks, but he cautioned against putting faith in anyone’s gut feeling. Silver wrote in a guest essay published Wednesday by The New York Times that calling the race a 50-50 toss-up is the “only responsible forecast,” with polls showing the race as razor-tight in all seven key battleground states that are likely to determine the outcome. But, the 538 founder added, if people press him to give an answer on who is favored, he will say Trump. “My
AURORA, Colo. — Another retail closure is coming to a troubled intersection on E. Colfax Avenue in Aurora. The Walgreens store at Havana Street and E. Colfax Avenue will close next month. Walmart shuttered its Neighborhood Market store at the same intersection in June. (Snip) The company cited "increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures" as the reason why it's closing the 10501 E. Colfax Avenue location. However, Willmann doesn't believe that's the entire story. "I hate to say this, but I think it’s shoplifting," he said. The Walmart Neighborhood Market across the street has been closed for three months. The company
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are deadlocked in the latest national NBC News poll, with Trump bolstered by Republicans coming back home to support him after last month’s rough debate and a subsequent polling deficit, as well as by a favorable voter assessment of Trump’s term as president. These are among the findings of a new survey released three weeks before Election Day, which also shows Harris’ popularity declining compared to a month ago, after she got a big summertime boost; a massive gender gap between support for Harris and Trump; and voters viewing abortion as
The drownings of two Navy SEALs during a maritime intercept off the coast of Somalia were preventable, caused by a lack of proper training and unclear guidance on effective flotation, a Navy investigation found. During a night-time intercept of a ship carrying Iranian weapons to Yemen, Chief Special Warfare Operator Christopher Chambers and Naval Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Nathan Ingram fell into heavy seas while trying to board. Chambers, the Leading Petty Officer of the platoon, fell in from the side of the ship, while Ingram jumped into the water immediately to help. Loaded with gear for the intercept
One person was killed and 12 people remain trapped inside a Colorado gold mine after the elevator malfunctioned, causing “a severe danger” during a tour Thursday, sheriff officials said. The elevator inside the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine — a family-owned business that offers tours to the public — experienced a mechanical issue at 500 feet deep at around noon, Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell said during a press conference streamed by FOX21 News. One person died, and four people suffered minor injuries during the elevator issue, he added. Authorities have already rescued 11 people — including two children — from
Over the weekend I wrote about recently hints that the Harris campaign might be in trouble in Michigan, a swing state they need to win next month. One of the issues that has Democrats in the state feeling nervous is the ongoing Israeli-Hamas war. As one Lebanese activist told Reuters, Harris was going to lose a lot of votes over the Biden administration's stance. (Snip) “I personally don’t know anyone who would vote for Harris,” said Imam Hassan Qazwini, who founded the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights and said that he planned to vote third party this year
The swing state of Pennsylvania’s voter registration system will be closed on the night of former President Donald Trump’s return rally in Butler, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against him. The Republican nominee announced Sept. 25 that he is holding another rally in Butler on Oct. 5, just three months after a gunman shot the former president at a rally there, wounding him in the ear. “This website will undergo scheduled system maintenance and be unavailable Saturday, October 5th 10 p.m. until October 6th 4 a.m,” the Pennsylvania Voter Registration website says. “We thank you for your
“Mr Nice Guy”, Tim Walz, showed up at the vice-presidential debate in New York and flubbed it. Perhaps he was over-prepared. Or underprepared. Or just too darned “Minnesota nice”, as they say in his home state. Folks there have a reputation for being congenitally kind and polite. Kamala Harris’s running mate could have pummelled JD Vance for being a mean, small-minded, misogynistic flip-flopper whose sole guiding principle was to suck up to Donald Trump. Instead, he came to praise rather than to bury his opponent. Vance couldn’t believe his luck. The Republican vice-presidential nominee was only too pleased to play
Frank Fritz, ex-co-host of the History Channel series “American Pickers,” has died. He was 60. His former co-host, Mike Wolfe, announced his death via Instagram Tuesday, writing, “It’s with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night.” “I’ve know Frank for more then half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny,” the reality star shared. “The same off camera as he was on, Frank had a way of reaching the hearts of so

BOONE, N.C. - Crews are continuing their work to clear debris, restore power and get supplies into North Carolina communities that remain isolated due to the destruction caused after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida last week, leaving more than 100 people dead in several states across the Southeast. (Snip) At least 120 people have been confirmed dead across six states – Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Millions of people were plunged into darkness as the hurricane brought down trees and utility lines and destroyed homes, businesses and infrastructure. On Monday, power outage reported in the states hardest-hit
Authorities in Red Wing are urging residents to turn down the temperature amid a recent string of politically charged incidents, including a public disturbance at a local Trump merchandise store. On Sept. 24, the Red Wing Police Department received a complaint of a man "screaming, swearing, yelling at staff, acting irate, and damaging property" at the Trump Store, located on the 1300 block of Old West Main St. According to a news release, the suspect also damaged a flag and "threw a piece of metal from the flag in the parking lot" before leaving in his vehicle. Police have identified

Outgoing Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said former President Trump has hurt the Republican Party’s ability to compete and that the “MAGA movement is completely wrong.”
“I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn’t recognize today,” McConnell said, according to a new biography penned by Michael Tackett of The Associated Press. These excerpts were first reported Thursday by CNN.
McConnell said Trump has “done a lot of damage to our party’s image and our ability to compete.”
“Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that,

1939 Nazi rally 35 replies
Hillary Clinton is comparing Donald Trump's upcoming Madison Square Garden rally to the 1939 pro-Nazi event at the same iconic location.
Trump's 2016 Democratic rival is still out railing against him and warning Americans against giving him another term with just 12 days left until Election Day.
The former Secretary of State said Trump is seeking to 'reenact' the Nazi rally that took place in the New York City venue just over six months before the start of World War II.The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday on CNN’s “The Source” that she found it “so distressing” Americans would vote for former President Donald Trump. Clinton said, “Here we are. It’s 12 days before the election of the President of the United States of America. It’s absolutely bonkers that we are talking about what he might do to violate the law to punish his political opponents. I mean, this is so un-American. I’ve been around longer than you have, and I’ve agreed and disagreed with presidents, Democrats and Republicans over a lot of decades. I was on the impeachment inquiry staff that investigated President Nixon
A major department store has silently removed the word 'Christmas' from its iconic gift catalogue - and workers are blaming 'woke politics' for the change.
For the first time ever, Neiman Marcus has rebranded its 98-year-old 'Christmas Book' gift catalogue, which has now been called a 'Holiday Book'.
The retailer had previously stated, following the Covid-19 Pandemic, that the 'Christmas Book is tradition' and something for shoppers to look forward. 'Christmas is a time of celebration and our Christmas Book is about celebrating. It's part our legacy and if you look back at our history, our founders and our brand, we've always been very strong about belonging and inclusion,'
Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has said that Vice President Kamala Harris has been facing sexism and racism from black men.
Abrams made an appearance on CNN wherein she was asked to comment on Georgia pastor Jamal Bryant saying that misogyny has been hurting the black community.
“Full stop misogyny is still real in our community. We’ve got to address it head-on and not act like it doesn’t exist. The reality is if black men had voted, Stacey Abrams would be a governor,” Bryant said.
Michelle Obama's voter mobilization campaign is turning to drag queens and free prize draws in a bid to boost voter turnout in key battleground states.
The former first lady founded When We All Vote in 2018 and the organization is planning to host 500 'Party at the Polls' events before election day. The events will take place across states including Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada.
One such event in Arizona, which took place on October 18, featured Drag Out the Vote, a group of drag performers advocating for LGBTQ+ voters. Notable drag queens such as Barbra Seville, crowned 'Miss Gay Southern America,' and Afrika America led the show.
Kamala Harris took the entire day off from the campaign trail on Tuesday to sit down for prerecorded interviews with NBC News and Telemundo.
Harris’s interview with NBC News was a total dumpster fire and her interview with Telemundo was not any better.
Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro asked Kamala Harris if she expects to get the results on election night.
Harris once again said it may take more than one night to count ballots. The Democrats can’t win unless they cheat.
Samuel L. Jackson said he can get behind Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy because they share the same favorite curse word.
The potty-mouthed actor didn't actually say the expletive while on stage campaigning for Harris in a star-studded rally in Clarkston, Georgia on Thursday, but he mumbled enough of the letters for supporters to guess.
'We've heard her favorite curse word is a favorite of mine too,' Jackson divulged. 'But I ain't gonna say mothafu – that word.' 'I don't know about you, but that's the kinda president I can stand behind. That's the kinda president I could see leading our country forward,'
In yet another unhinged display of partisan hysteria, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski managed to cram every left-wing buzzword into one of her wildest rants to date.
Desperation was written all over her face as she took to the airwaves, repeating debunked narratives and painting an apocalyptic picture of a future Trump presidency.
What followed was a meltdown for the ages, complete with comparisons to Hitler, absurd claims about “fascism,” and even the ridiculous assertion that Trump is somehow “killing women.”
I like voting absentee, and I got my ballot in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I’ve spent a lot of time staring at it, not thrilled about my choices at the top of the ticket.
That is, until lately.
Vice President Kamala Harris, her surrogate Democrats and the left-leaning legacy media are all making me – a conservative who is not MAGA in any way – actively want to vote for former President Donald Trump. And I know I’m not alone.
Harris and her fellow liberals are starting to sound a lot like the Democrats did in 2016, and it’s a huge turnoff to voters like me.
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was slammed over his 'entitled' questioning of Kamala Harris at a Pennsylvania town hall Wednesday.
Harris faced questions on immigration, abortion and her performance as vice president during the event which was originally intended to become the second Harris-Trump debate.
But some social media users claimed Cooper used his male privilege to talk down to the vice president. 'It is infuriating how a white male feels entitled to interrupt the Vice President while she tries to answer a freaking question. Looking at you @andersoncooper,' Aaron H. wrote.
On Wednesday night, another “October Surprise” story against Donald Trump dropped, and like the others, it doesn’t pass the smell test.
According to the story, which The Guardian published, a former model named Stacey Williams, “who says she met Donald Trump through the late sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein... has accused the former president of groping and sexually touching her in an incident in Trump Tower in 1993, in what she believed was a ‘twisted game’ between the two men.”
It was curious that after it broke, I couldn’t find any domestic media outlets that had picked it up.
