This week, we celebrate the 530th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s landing in the Western Hemisphere. Oct. 12, 2022, will commemorate the day the Italian explorer united the Old World and the New World, forever changing the course of human history. Until about 1992, this was a national holiday and a day to celebrate Italian American heritage. Oct. 12 has since become a day to scorn Western civilization, as the American Left and “multi-culturalist” academics, through various Native American front groups, have used the occasion to recite various atrocity stories and criticisms of the settlement and conquest of the Americas by Europeans.

Twitter users were quick to point out the irony in Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., promoting Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday. Warren celebrated the holiday, which replaces Columbus Day in various cities across the country, on her account that morning.
"On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the contributions, the extraordinary resilience, and the rich cultures of tribal nations and Native communities. Today and every day, the federal government must recommit itself to honoring its promises to Native peoples," Warren wrote. Social media users piled on this tweet after Warren’s previous scandal

Republican Blake Masters, Democrat Mark Kelly, and that Libertarian who was eerily focused on the age of consent laws being way too high, taught us two important things besides that you should never let a Libertarian babysit your tween. First, Mark Kelly is going to get crushed, and second, he’s short, and after Blake beats him in November, he should find something else to do with his life, like toiling for mithril in the mines of Moria or maybe bearing a ring to Mordor.

The news that Elon Musk wants to go forward with the purchase of Twitter has led to a virtual panic among media, political and academic figures worried that free speech could shortly break out on the social media platform. Former Politico magazine editor Garrett Graff summed up the collective vapors succinctly: “Be afraid, be actually afraid.”
I sincerely hope so.
While Musk had in recent months wavered on his purchase, he said last week that he wants to move forward with a $44 billion offer to buy the social media platform. On Thursday, the judge presiding over Twitter's lawsuit against Musk for backing out of the original

Incumbent Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is in danger of losing the seat she has held for two decades to a challenger from her own party backed by former President Trump. A Republican has roughly a 99% chance to win next month's Alaska senate election, with Republican challenger Kelly C. Tshibaka considered mostly likely to emerge with the victory at 53%, according to election forecaster FiveThirtyEight.
Tshibaka, a Trump-backed Republican challenger who previously served as a commissioner of the Alaska Department of Administration, is currently locked in a tight battle with Murkowski after the incumbent senator generated controversy by supporting the impeachment of former President Trump

October surprises — typically identified as events or stories that have the potential to upend the election chances for a candidate or party — have been relevant to numerous presidential and midterm elections throughout American history, but whether there are any in store for the upcoming November races is a question political insiders are weighing.
Strategists from across the political spectrum insist there are a few events or stories that could drive voters to the polls, or away from them, in the Nov. 8 election.

Abortion allegations against Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker have roiled one of the country’s tightest races that could decide the majority in the now 50-50 chamber.
The closeness of the race — Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads by 1.3 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average — means it could be swung by any bombshell report, and abortion is a key issue.
But national Republicans are standing by Walker, who said the latest accusation against him is a “flat-out lie,” and if he wins, five factors might contribute.

The Army fell approximately 15,000 (25%) people short of meeting their recruiting goals this year, and some Pentagon officials focused on the tight job market as the culprit.[i] Though access to civilian jobs and higher pay is a factor, the truth is broader and ignored at our peril. Rather than confront the reality of what is occurring in the military and the consequences of these actions, these same officials have decided to make blaming anything but the truth an Olympic level sport and our nation’s readiness to defeat our adversaries is running in last place.

Walking along the crumbling sidewalk that lines his New Birth Ministry congregation in Duquesne, Pastor Jim Nelson greets Dr. Mehmet Oz with a hardy handshake and a pat on the back as Oz exits his SUV.
“I’d really like to take you for a little ride in the neighborhood before we get started with today’s roundtable,” the former police officer-turned-faith leader told the Republican candidate for Senate.
Without hesitation, Oz piles into the pastor’s van, and they head up the steep brick Pennsylvania street that has long served as the major artery of this Mon Valley city overlooking the Monongahela River. Once a booming steel town of 21,000

It’s astonishing how little the progressive wing of the Democratic Party realizes how much their sanctimony turns off the folks who don’t live in big cities where its hold on power is virtually unchallengeable. Things have gotten so bad that if bad party elders had any integrity they’d change the DNC motto from whatever it is now to “Do as we say, not as we do.”
Take the recent tweak some liberal party funders got from Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who managed to divert a planeload of illegal immigrants destined for temporary resettlement in his state to Martha’s Vineyard, a pretentious enclave rich and super-rich progressives including former President Barack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged world leaders to act and stop Russian President Vladimir Putin as he warns that Moscow has begun preparations for the possible use of nuclear weapons. "They begin to prepare their society," Zelenskyy said during a BBC interview at the presidential palace in Kyiv. "That's very dangerous. They are not ready to do it, to use it, but they begin to communicate."
"They don't know whether they'll use or not use it," he stressed. "I think it's dangerous to even speak about it."

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday's edition of Jesse Watters' FOX News show reacted to news that the FBI sees a chargeable case against Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.
FMR. REP. TULSI GABBARD: Leaks coming from law enforcement agencies are not good. We often see them happening in the lead-up to elections regardless of which party they are seeking to influence. Our law enforcement entities need to be apolitical so that we can faith in the rule of law. But what we are seeing here is pointing to something much bigger than what Hunter Biden ends up actually being charged with or indicted with or not.
