Less than two years after voter anger over inflation ushered President Trump into the White House, those same economic anxieties threaten to cost his party its House and Senate majorities and derail his agenda.
The Republican Party opens its first-ever midterm convention this week, looking to spark sorely needed energy and a bump in the polls for GOP candidates.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive pushes back Russia’s control over captured territories, Moscow is firing a barrage of disinformation to influence Western leaders to terminate support for Kyiv. The correlation between Russia’s military retreat and its verbal offensive could not be starker and needs to be identified and countered by policymakers and analysts.

Oct. 12 is the “real” Columbus Day, the actual date explorer Christopher Columbus landed in the New World in San Salvador (now part of the Bahamas) in 1492. In 2020, a statue of Christopher Columbus in Philadelphia was condemned and restricted by the city’s mayor, Jim Kenney, who succumbed to pressure from radical left-wing agitators.

Good thing Jackson, Wyoming, kept its fleet of 30 diesel buses on hand when it purchased eight electric buses to lower its transit system’s carbon emissions.
Being Werner Herzog, or just working with him, may be an occupational hazard. In his baroquely titled new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All, the German filmmaker describes almost dying many times. His casts and crews fare little better: A single production in the Amazon suffered an attack by hostile tribesmen who near-fatally gored several crew members with 6-foot-long arrows, a poisonous snake bite, and two plane crashes, one of which left someone paraplegic. The bitten man, knowing he had only a minute before the venom reached his heart, amputated his own leg with a chainsaw. Those wounds used the last anesthetic, so when an accident split a cameraman’s hand, a prostitute soothed him by holding his head between her breasts. One of Herzog’s star actors, the notorious Klaus Kinski, once started shooting at colleagues with a rifle. Thankfully, the only casualty was a finger.
