It’s Wednesday, October 23, and this is The Front Page, your daily window into the world of The Free Press—and our take on the world at large. Coming up: Are smartphones stealing childhood?; the Abercrombie & Fitch CEO charged with sex trafficking; plus, legacy media quotes a Municipality of Gaza spokesperson without revealing his likely ties to Hamas. But first, the rise and collapse of Black Lives Matter.
A lot can change in four years. Just ask Kamala Harris, who’s walked back various 2019 policies such as a fracking ban and support for Medicare for All. Now she’s boasting about owning a Glock.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday there is evidence that North Korea has sent troops to Russia, as South Korea’s spy chief told lawmakers that 3,000 North Korean troops are in the country receiving training on drones and other equipment before being deployed to battlefields in Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Rome, Austin said “What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out,” according to a video posted by the Washington Post.
While families everywhere are struggling with inflation at the grocery store, Vice President Kamala Harris continues celebrating the broken promises of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA.) Missing from her empty rhetoric is the fact that millions in IRA funds are being funneled to leftist political activist groups that are anti-American, anti-semitic, and likely Pro-Kamala. Power The Future, the non-profit organization for which I work, released a new report highlighting the biggest failures of the Biden-Harris administration. The most concerning involve the billions of dollars being funneled to leftist activists. Harris,
Some Republican senators want former President Trump to play an influential role in electing the next Senate Republican leader, hoping for a dramatic change in leadership style after Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) record-setting 18-year run.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) appears to be the front-runner to succeed McConnell, although Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a former whip and a prodigious fundraiser, might edge him out.
The leak of high-classified U.S. intelligence documents to the Iranian regime last week has triggered a much-needed counter-intelligence investigation to identify the source -- either a mole who has betrayed their country, or a cyber-hack.
The documents, which bore Top Secret/NOFORN and compartmented intelligence headers, described U.S. satellite spying on Israeli airfields as the IDF conducted exercises believed to foreshadow a massive airstrike on Iran.
The NOFORN designation means that the document cannot be shared with foreign nationals other than members of the "Five Eyes" intelligence-sharing arrangement the United States has crafted with the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
handwriting expert hired by House Republicans investigating the since disbanded Jan. 6 Committee said the panel’s star witness was not the author of a note she took credit for at a congressional hearing two years ago.
On Monday, journalist Julie Kelly published the conclusions of a graphologist commissioned to analyze the handwriting on a note displayed by Jan. 6 Select Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney during the public appearance of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson before the panel. The note in question included a proposed statement for then-President Donald Trump to issue as rioters descended on the U.S. Capitol.
Meet Kamala’s Megadonors

A collection of philanthropists, Silicon Valley titans, and Democratic megadonors are using their fortunes and influence to see Vice President Kamala Harris elected into the White House in November.
Tens of millions of dollars in political donations have been routed to the Harris campaign, its joint fundraising committee, and a super PAC called Future Forward, which is supporting Harris through ad buys, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, reprinted here by The Free Press.
Nature might abhor a vacuum, but empires love them. The busy empire-builders in Tehran have spent the last two decades extending their reach into power vacuums in Iraq and Syria as part of their attempt to recreate at least part of the old Persian Empire that once covered almost the entire Middle East. Funding the Houthi rebels in Yemen keeps the Saudis conveniently distracted, too, as well as giving Tehran a way to attack the shipping that Western economies rely upon.
Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza and Lebanon respectively are Iran's imperial outposts even further west — and the Arab nations have reportedly had enough.
Former President Donald Trump served McDonald’s French fries two days after the Wall Street Journal published a feature on the Republican nominee’s new crusade to “Make America Healthy Again.”
“Trump Adopts RFK Jr.’s War on Junk Food to Win Over His Fans,” the headline read.
Fast-forward to Sunday, when Trump greeted customers at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s drive-thru and passed out goodie-bags of the industry’s most iconically-addictive “junk food.” Several online X users said the split images reflected an inherent contradiction between Trump’s endorsement of efforts promoting sound nutrition and his championship of the fast food menu.
Just a dozen days ago, The New York Times ran a thoughtful, hard-hitting, unbiased, 100% even-handed article on Kamala Harris: ‘Joy’ Is Working for Harris, but Can It Close the Deal? (That was a follow-up to its previous hard-hitting piece: Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign. A few days earlier, another site exclaimed: Kamala Harris is showing that joy can be a strategy. And just a little bit prior to that, New York Magazine declared the dawning of a new, exciting age in American politics: Kamala Harris and the New Politics of Joy!
Happy-happy, joy-joy!

New York Democrats have failed to legalize noncitizen voting, but may get their way by passing Proposition 1 on the Nov. 5 ballot.
The deceptively written “Equal Rights Amendment” doesn’t protect women or abortion rights — but does empower lawmakers to ignore the current language of the state Constitution in the name of protecting a whole host of new rights that it would create.
Let’s be clear: Abortion rights are not under threat in New York.
Citizenship and voting rights, however, are under attack.
The courts blocked the New York City Council’s 2021 law to let 800,000 non-citizens with green cards vote, since Article II, Section 1,
Once in a great while, what happens at the bottom of the ballot can reshape a state’s political future for decades to come.
While New Yorkers on Election Day will vote on the controversial “Equal Rights Amendment,” Ohio is ground zero for an effort to wrest control away from the people and give it to unelected, Fauci-like bureaucrats to achieve “redistricting reform.”
And the movement is anything but organic: It’s an out-of-state (and even international) attempt by left-wing politicians to trick voters into rewriting our state constitution by passing Issue 1.
The ballot measure — masterminded by the likes of Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder-

Outgoing Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said former President Trump has hurt the Republican Party’s ability to compete and that the “MAGA movement is completely wrong.”
“I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn’t recognize today,” McConnell said, according to a new biography penned by Michael Tackett of The Associated Press. These excerpts were first reported Thursday by CNN.
McConnell said Trump has “done a lot of damage to our party’s image and our ability to compete.”
“Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that,
Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has said that Vice President Kamala Harris has been facing sexism and racism from black men.
Abrams made an appearance on CNN wherein she was asked to comment on Georgia pastor Jamal Bryant saying that misogyny has been hurting the black community.
“Full stop misogyny is still real in our community. We’ve got to address it head-on and not act like it doesn’t exist. The reality is if black men had voted, Stacey Abrams would be a governor,” Bryant said.
Michelle Obama's voter mobilization campaign is turning to drag queens and free prize draws in a bid to boost voter turnout in key battleground states.
The former first lady founded When We All Vote in 2018 and the organization is planning to host 500 'Party at the Polls' events before election day. The events will take place across states including Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada.
One such event in Arizona, which took place on October 18, featured Drag Out the Vote, a group of drag performers advocating for LGBTQ+ voters. Notable drag queens such as Barbra Seville, crowned 'Miss Gay Southern America,' and Afrika America led the show.
Kamala Harris took the entire day off from the campaign trail on Tuesday to sit down for prerecorded interviews with NBC News and Telemundo.
Harris’s interview with NBC News was a total dumpster fire and her interview with Telemundo was not any better.
Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro asked Kamala Harris if she expects to get the results on election night.
Harris once again said it may take more than one night to count ballots. The Democrats can’t win unless they cheat.
In yet another unhinged display of partisan hysteria, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski managed to cram every left-wing buzzword into one of her wildest rants to date.
Desperation was written all over her face as she took to the airwaves, repeating debunked narratives and painting an apocalyptic picture of a future Trump presidency.
What followed was a meltdown for the ages, complete with comparisons to Hitler, absurd claims about “fascism,” and even the ridiculous assertion that Trump is somehow “killing women.”
I like voting absentee, and I got my ballot in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I’ve spent a lot of time staring at it, not thrilled about my choices at the top of the ticket.
That is, until lately.
Vice President Kamala Harris, her surrogate Democrats and the left-leaning legacy media are all making me – a conservative who is not MAGA in any way – actively want to vote for former President Donald Trump. And I know I’m not alone.
Harris and her fellow liberals are starting to sound a lot like the Democrats did in 2016, and it’s a huge turnoff to voters like me.
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was slammed over his 'entitled' questioning of Kamala Harris at a Pennsylvania town hall Wednesday.
Harris faced questions on immigration, abortion and her performance as vice president during the event which was originally intended to become the second Harris-Trump debate.
But some social media users claimed Cooper used his male privilege to talk down to the vice president. 'It is infuriating how a white male feels entitled to interrupt the Vice President while she tries to answer a freaking question. Looking at you @andersoncooper,' Aaron H. wrote.
Election officials in one of the largest counties in Arizona, which ultimately decides the election in the critical swing state, are already warning Americans that voting tabulation could take weeks to conclude. Maricopa County officials are asking people for “patience” as they tally up the final votes, which they say could take between 10 and 14 days. Deputy Elections Director Jennifer Liewer blames longer-than-usual ballots and the high interest in the 2024 election.
This year’s ballot in the state will be two pages long and have an average of 79 races per ballot.
Samuel L. Jackson said he can get behind Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy because they share the same favorite curse word.
The potty-mouthed actor didn't actually say the expletive while on stage campaigning for Harris in a star-studded rally in Clarkston, Georgia on Thursday, but he mumbled enough of the letters for supporters to guess.
'We've heard her favorite curse word is a favorite of mine too,' Jackson divulged. 'But I ain't gonna say mothafu – that word.' 'I don't know about you, but that's the kinda president I can stand behind. That's the kinda president I could see leading our country forward,'
Doug Emhoff's ex-girlfriend has spoken exclusively to DailyMail.com claiming that he slapped her in the face so hard she spun around at a 2012 celebrity event in France.
The woman, a successful New York attorney, is remaining anonymous, but decided to speak out after Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, denied the claims through a spokesman.
Emhoff's accuser, who DailyMail.com is naming only as 'Jane', initially declined to comment on the record. But Emhoff's denial, and his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became too much for her.
Former President Bill Clinton complimented Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake’s looks while describing Vice President Kamala Harris as “extremely vulnerable” during campaign stops in the swing state Wednesday.
Clinton, 78, was commenting on the race between Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) – comparing it to Harris’ contest against former President Donald Trump – when he made the bizarre remark.
“This is like a beautiful microcosm of the campaign that Kamala Harris is running for president,” Clinton said.
“You got a person [Gallego] that grew up under sometimes challenging circumstances, who made something of his life, running against someone [Lake] who is physically attractive but
They’re one step closer to freedom.
Lyle and Erik Menendez will be resentenced after spending more than 30 years behind bars for the grisly 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty, in a case that captivated the nation and spawned a popular Netflix series more than three decades later.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday that the brothers will be resentenced at a press conference packed with more than 300 journalists from around the world — and will recommend to the court that the killer siblings be eligible for parole.
The final decision will be left to a judge — but
