1979—Taking advantage of its (and the House’s) massive increase in the number of judgeships a year earlier, the Democrat-controlled Senate confirms on a single day 25 of…
It could be that what fuels complaints against Generation Z gives former President Donald Trump an edge with the young voters and a win over Vice President Kamala Harris. Eyes fixated on youth turnout as a critical voting bloc when early voting began in September, and they remain there on Election Day. Much has been […]
Twenty-three arrests: Deranged street-sleeper Niser Cekic racked up that many before he stabbed a Queens fruit vendor multiple times. The vendor asked him to...
It would be surprising if even one in a thousand voters knew that the media can call a state winner in a presidential election before any Election Day votes made in voting booths are counted. In so-called noncompetitive contests, the media can, and do, declare winners immediately after the polls close. Even fewer voters might be aware […]
In a pathetic indictment of their ability to master the more basic elements of American diplomacy, a number of major U.S. embassies around the world are canceling their traditional election night parties. As Politico reports, U.S. “embassies from Brussels to London, Paris and Berlin have decided against holding their usual watch parties.” Explaining that the […]
Principal Stacey Bobo sent an email on Thursday to parents of students at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, a private pre-K-12th grade school in New York City, detailing what school officials were doing to protect children from Election Day. “No matter the election outcome,” Bobo wrote, the school will “create space to provide students with […]
PITTSBURGH — If you wanted to have a keen, dispassionate understanding of how much the Republican Party has changed over the past eight years, all you had to do was stand outside the PPG Paints Arena in the city’s Hill District neighborhood and see the line of people stretched 10 blocks in either direction up […]
Contemporary American politics is a shameful spectacle. And we’re going to keep getting heaping helpings of it until the day we die. Last night, Oprah Winfrey told women assembled at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris that if they “don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever […]
As we file into voting booths to decide our nation’s future, it can be tempting to see our political opponents as our enemies. But the health of our great nation relies on seeing them, instead, as our friends and neighbors with whom we happen to disagree on many issues. It’s easy to listen to Fox […]
Some musings early on election morning. The past several days have left almost all of America in suspense about who is going to be elected the country’s 47th president. Many scenarios remain in view after a turbulent campaign. The surprising result of the highly regarded Selzer poll in Iowa, showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading […]
A recent Gallup poll found that viewers across America “continue to register record-low trust in the mass media,” and for the third straight year, more people have “no trust at all” in the media than “trust it a great deal or fair amount.” Given this consensus of distrust, why, then, would a journalist who fabricated […]
WILL EARLY VOTING BACKFIRE ON DEMOCRATS? Many Democrats are giddy about the last few days of the presidential campaign. For two reasons. First, they believe Vice President Kamala Harris finished up a “near-flawless campaign under the utmost pressure,” in the words of former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer. And second, they think former President Donald Trump blew […]
Democrats have failed the black population. Democratic politicians grasp at straws to get the black community to vote for them but do nothing in return for these voters once they take office. It’s time for change. I, Michael “Harry O” Harris, am not just the co-founder of Death Row Records. I was also in prison […]
