41M Evangelical Christians May Not Vote in This Election. Here’s Why They Should Reconsider.
New research finds that approximately 41 million evangelical Christians won’t vote in the Nov. 5 presidential election, but that pastors can persuade approximately 5 million to vote just by urging them to fulfill their civic duty.

This Really Is the Most Important Election of Our Lifetimes. Here’s Why.
We’ve heard it so often it has become a cliché: “This is the most important election of our lifetime.” But that doesn’t mean it’s not true. I believe it really is, for one overarching reason: It’s the only election we can affect. The outcomes of 2020, 2016, and all previous campaigns are now in the…Steve McKee -

Who Really Benefits from EV Subsidies?
“I grew up in the middle class,” Vice President Kamala Harris says repeatedly to show that she understands what policies would best support the average American. However, Harris’ electric vehicle subsidies don’t help middle- and lower-income households; they go to upper-income households. It’s one of many hypocritical policies of the Biden-Harris administration. This year, the…Austin Gae -

Border Patrol Agents Vow to Quit If Harris Wins
The illegal immigration crisis facing the U.S. has drastically worsened ever since Vice President Kamala Harris was appointed the incumbent administration’s “border czar” in 2021. Terrorist threats are on the rise, violent migrant gangs are roaming the streets, small towns are being decimated by state-sanctioned immigrant dumpings, American children are being slain by migrants, and migrant children are being sex trafficked by gangs and cartels. But according…S.A. McCarthy -

Biden Administration Gives Panama ‘Jack’ to Help Control Border: The BorderLine
Immigration is a top issue for voters. Unfortunately, the real picture is obscured by several zombie lies—false narratives that are kept alive for political value. One is that the terrible “bipartisan” Lankford-Sinema Senate immigration bill that failed earlier this year would have done more good than harm. Another is that there is any serious “vetting”…Simon Hankinson -

Kamala Harris’ ‘Intruder’ Crack: Joke or Serious Comment on Self-Defense?
In an interview last month with talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, Vice President Kamala Harris once again played up her status as a gun owner, emphatically declaring: “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot!” Let’s put aside the reality that her well-armed and taxpayer-funded security detail almost certainly would confront any would-be intruder long…Amy Swearer -

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Republican Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska, a two-term incumbent who won previous Senate races by at least 14-point margins, is in a race too close for comfort with just 18 days to election night.

Fox’s Bret Baier Pressed Kamala Harris for Answers. The Powder-Puff Press Hated It.
It shouldn’t be considered incredibly brave for Vice President Kamala Harris to consent to an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. JD Vance has been doing hostile Sunday shows for months while Harris resorted to the basement strategy. Then, once Team Kamala booked a “media blitz,” they bizarrely went on offense. Mediaite posted this…Tim Graham -

The Collapse of Kamala Harris
On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party’s ruthless midsummer coup of its own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party’s presidential slot would “spectacularly backfire.” More specifically, I wrote: Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through…Josh Hammer -

Voters in three Western states will consider ballot measures this November to repeal marriage amendments previously approved by voters.
