By M. D. Kittle The Democrat attack dog’s law firm represents Mary Peltola’s campaign, accused in the ‘Decoy Dan’ ballot scheme to confuse voters. The only thing that should be surprising about The New York Times’ bombshell report on the Democrats’ “Decoy Dan” scheme is that the Dem-friendly newspaper a) reported on it and b) actually published it.  Republicans — particularly the campaign of Alaska Sen. Dan S. Sullivan — have for months been telling everyone — that Dan J. Sullivan was a ballot plant compliments of Rep. Mary Peltola, the Democrat opponent of the incumbent Sullivan.  The New York Times piece claims Peltola wasn’t directly involved in the effort to recruit a same-name candidate to draw votes from her main opponent, but she was “definitely aware.” Her campaign, according to the story, was very much involved in dealing with a slimy Democratic Party operative who apparently played point man in the scheme and a powerful cadre of national Democrats behind it. ...

By Tom Knighton Recently, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan decided to pontificate on the problems of originalism. This was a semi-informal setting, of course, and no one is shocked that she's not a fan of originalism. However, watch this and then I have some thoughts. @JCNSeverino The "Bill of Rights" are a list of rights that outline what the government cannot do in accordance with natural law, none can be amended or repealed. You cannot repeal self-evident human truths or unalienable rights, that are ours by virtue of God. https://t.co/SEgutm3UzC — Trackman (@TheeTrackman) October 31, 2026 Kagan talks about the Constitution being broad and consisting of "hazy generalities," which I happen to believe is a feature, not a bug. The idea here is that the Founding Fathers recognized they were building a framework for a government for the ages, not for just their age. Specificity would be used to excuse things down the road that they would never dream of s...

( New York Post photo illustration) By Bridget Phetasy Last week a New York Times /Siena poll found that Americans of every generation shifted to the left over the last two years — except for one: Generation X. Liberal Boomers, Millennials and Gen Zers were gobsmacked. “What’s wrong with Gen X?” they demanded. As a member of that generation I’m here to tell you: Absolutely nothing. In fact, we’re the only thing standing between this country and communism — the break-glass-in-case-of-emergency generation. In the ’90s they called us slackers. Now we’re middle-aged, menopausal and holding the door at the Alamo. Have you even said “thank you”? No mystery why we’re like this: It’s because we were neglected — latchkey kids who ate saltines for dinner. Many of our parents got divorced and forgot they had children, which was fine because we were busy getting blackout drunk in hayfields and smoking weed in garages. We also bullied each other — and it made us resilient. I’m onl...

By Bob Hoge Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger decided in August that automatically restoring certain rights — like serving on a jury and voting — to 66,000 felons was a priority, because apparently there aren’t more pressing matters at hand. There’s only one reason I can think of that she would do such a thing: because she believes that a majority of the convicted criminals who have completed their sentences will vote Democrat . Yes, she has proven since she took office in January that she is that ruthless and willing to throw principles out the window . Although her administration claims they’re reviewing each case, they don’t appear to be paying a whole lot of attention because a dog that died five years ago received notification that she’s free to register to vote and head to the polls. Delegate Garrett confirms Biscuit Rigsby is a DOG. Yet this certificate claims the Executive reviewed Biscuit’s criminal case before restoring his civil rights. First “Betty No Last Name.” Now B...

Netanyahu remains in office without a majority, while Eisenkot must overcome opposition divisions to form a government or face another election. By ANNA BARSKY On Tuesday night, Gadi Eisenkot delivered the speech of a man who could already see the Prime Minister's Office on the horizon. He was not alone. The first exit polls pointed to a clear victory for the opposition bloc and the approaching end of Benjamin Netanyahu's tenure. In the rooms where politicians awaited the actual results, however, the picture gradually changed. Likud climbed to 27 seats, Yashar settled at 21, and the gap between the blocs narrowed. Eisenkot discovered what Shimon Peres had learned long ago: Exit polls are excellent at generating headlines, but somewhat less effective at transferring power. Netanyahu, for his part, can breathe a sigh of relief. His party is once again the largest, and he remains prime minister. But the good news ends there. The outgoing coalition bloc holds just...

By Daniel Cody An Oregon madman who gunned down his dad, a professor at Oberlin College, and stepmother in their Ohio home allegedly copped to the killings in a recorded video, prosecutors revealed Thursday. Daniel Jones, 31, was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly shot Pipo Nguyen-Duy, 64, and Nguyen-Duy’s wife, Thi Tran Phong, 56 and also torched his own car in an Oberlin parking lot. In court he told the judge that his real name was Asia Nguyen-Duy — and asked to be identified using gender-neutral pronouns because he was non-binary, NBC reported. Chilling courtroom footage captured by NBC shows four officers dragging a completely limp, catatonic Nguyen-Duy to the defense table during his arraignment Thursday — before he smugly grinned at reporters. Asia Nguyen-Duy appears in Oberlin Municipal Court in Oberlin, Ohio, Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026. WEWS/News 5 via AP Prosecutors said he knocked on a stranger’s door after the gruesome killings and asked a woman to record a vi...

By Joe A Brazilian-origin student at the University of Texas at San Antonio recited a gleeful poem mocking the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a Turning Point USA open-mic event, sparking widespread condemnation and questions about her immigration status. The incident took place at a “Pick Up the Mic” event hosted by Turning Point USA at the University of Texas at San Antonio, featuring Texas Youth Summit founder Christian Collins. A student who introduced herself as “Pamper Baby” stepped to the microphone with a pink Starbucks drink, explained that she had taken a Plan B that morning and felt guilty as an immigrant, then cited freedom of speech before launching into a parody of “The Night Before Christmas.” She recited: “It was the night before the Kirkiversary, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The flags were hung proudly, the memes all on deck, as we solemnly remembered a shot to the ne...
