How to Strengthen Media Integrity Through Collaboration
Uri Berliner’s exposure of National Public Radio, James Bennet’s truth-telling about The New York Times, and the recent outrage at CBS News over the editing of a Kamala Harris interview are just the latest signs of something we’ve all been seeing for over a decade. Online newspapers and other electronic outlets that used to speak…Roy Maynard -

FEMA Needs a Fact-Check: Here It Is
At every turn, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have used the Federal Emergency Management Agency to facilitate mass illegal migration rather than preparing the agency to fulfill its mission of disaster response. Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on communities in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas in September. Since then, the pain and suffering…Brandy Perez -

Donald Trump, Class Traitor Par Excellence
If there is one data point above all that suggests Donald Trump and JD Vance are headed for a resounding victory on Nov. 5, it is this: By a nearly 40-point margin in the polling average, Americans are more inclined to believe the country is currently on the wrong track than the right track. There…Josh Hammer -

Who Requested 30,084 Mail-In Ballots From Fishy Addresses in Wisconsin?
In what remains a nail-bitingly close presidential race, fewer than 25,000 votes could decide Wisconsin and its 10 Electoral College votes. Donald Trump won the Badger State in 2016 by 22,748 ballots. In 2020, he lost it by 20,982 votes. Given these low numbers and high stakes, this week’s findings by CommonSense Elections/StopBogusBallots.com are deeply…Deroy Murdock -

Democrats Nervous as Kamala’s Poll Numbers Dive
Was it just a coincidence that Vice President Kamala Harris showed up, 15 minutes late, to be interviewed by Fox News anchor Bret Baier a day before Nate Silver’s poll aggregation website showed her chances of winning the election slipping below 50%?

Harris Is the Bigger Threat to the Constitutional Order
Vote. Don’t vote. I don’t care. Just stop telling me that Vice President Kamala Harris is going to save democracy. Do I wish Republicans had nominated a more coherent, principled, competent candidate for the presidency? Of course. But if anyone is under the impression Democrats tapped such a person, I have news. Spend some time…David Harsanyi -

The Myth of Underfunded Public Schools
Do you know how much you spend per student in your local public school? Surveys find that most Americans cannot answer this question. And public education interest groups such as teachers unions benefit from this knowledge gap because then they can ask for more spending and few, if any, taxpayers and voters know what the…Jonathan Butcher -

Hillary Clinton’s Nazi-Rally Rhetoric Is ‘Insulting’ and ‘Disrespectful,’ Republicans Say
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is likening former President Donald Trump’s upcoming weekend campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York to an infamous February 1939 Nazi rally held in a previous New York City arena bearing the same name, but Republican leaders are firing back, calling the comparison “disrespectful” and “insulting.” …Christina Lewis -

Why Kamala Struggles to Be Credible
As Vice President Kamala Harris slips in the polls, the Democratic National Committee/Harris campaign/mainstream media fusion talking points become even more absurd. Claiming that JD Vance and Donald Trump were “weird” did not work—especially given the genuinely odd behavior of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and would-be first gentleman Doug Emhoff. Nor was the next…Victor Davis Hanson -

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had one job in 2022: reclaim the Senate majority from Democrats. The longtime Kentucky Republican had a lot going for him in that cause. Two years ago, electoral map heavily advantaged Republicans, with vulnerable Democrat seats up for grabs in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin.

Harris Swings, Misses at CNN’s Town Hall Softballs
The ideal of a town hall meeting—where citizens can spontaneously ask politicians the questions they would like answered—doesn’t match what the town hall is in today’s politics. There’s too much risk for politicians, or the TV networks who platform the event. A humorous example came on Monday at a so-called town hall with Vice President…Tim Graham -
