WorkWork'Evangelicals for Harris' goes to war with Franklin GrahamMen "will be proud and abusive" and "treacherous, reckless and arrogant, loving what gives them pleasure instead of loving God," he added.

WorkThe Secretive Dynasty That Controls the Boar's Head BrandIt is odd, to say the least, when a top executive of a company claims not to know who his boss is.

The company is one of the country’s most recognizable deli-meat brands; it generates what employees and others estimate as roughly $3 billion in annual revenue and employs thousands of people. WorkWorkUK government must say what Brussels 'reset' means, says EU delegation headWhile Labour has set out ideas for improving EU relations in its manifesto, EU sources say they need to see detailed plans.

WorkWorkWorkChina Puts Investor Patience to Test as Key Briefing UnderwhelmsThe yield curve will probably move lower, given debt issuance this year may come below market consensus, said Zhaopeng Xing, a senior strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group.

WorkWorkOppenheimer Predicts up to 740% Rally for These 2 'Strong Buy' StocksInvestors have plenty to feel positive about. Inflation is easing, with the latest data showing an annualized rate of 2.4%, just shy of the Fed’s target by less than half a percentage point. Meanwhile, the stock market continues its bullish run, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high of 5,822 on Friday, marking a 22% year-to-date gain.

Over a decade ago, roughly 70 percent of Latino voters backed President Barack Obama’s re-election. Since then, Mr. Trump has eroded that support. WorkWorkTrump Hits Coachella, Campaigning Once Again in a Blue StateMr. Trump then spoke for about 80 minutes in a rambling speech. He criticized California, Vice President Kamala Harris’s home state, as an incubator of failed liberal policies; disparaged the physical appearance of Representative Adam Schiff, who led the first impeachment trial of him and is now running for Senate; used a crude nickname to refer to the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom; and took a number of detours to praise the billionaire Elon Musk and to criticize President Biden. WorkWorkWorkColumbus Day trading, Netflix and bank earnings, and economic data: What to watch in the markets this weekOn Thursday, initial jobless claims will provide an updated snapshot of the U.S. labor market.
