'It's Equivalent to Killing Bin Laden': Sen. Graham on the Death of Hamas Chief
by Suzanne Bowdey
For Jonathan Dekel-Chen, the nightmares of October 7 never go away. "Not a single household" went untouched, he shakes his head slowly, "either by someone being murdered, or taken hostage, or both." "[I]t's been a year of agony," the professor at Hebrew University admits, trying to shut out the image of his son putting his wife and children in a safe house while the 36-year-old went out to defend the kibbutz. The American citizen was taken hostage, wounded, and last seen alive 11 long months ago.

by Ben Johnson

Are Families Fascist?
by Joshua Arnold
During a "Democracy at a Crossroads" seminar on Wednesday, MSNBC host Joy Reid warned that "this election is a litmus test for American tolerance for fascism." But her definition was - how best to put it - wide of the target. "The elements of fascism are rooted in this nationalistic drive for more babies for the state, for women to be subordinate to men, for a strongman-driven nation, and a deep sort of state-based religiosity," she declared. This is neither fascism nor what is at stake in this election.

Biden-Harris Admin Once Again Threatens to Withhold Weapons from Israel
by Dan Hart
As Israel continues its war against Islamist terrorism on multiple fronts in the wake of October 7 and prepares to retaliate against Iran for its missile attack on the Jewish state two weeks ago, a letter from the Biden-Harris administration on Sunday warned that the U.S. will withhold weapons aid unless Israel increases humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

Black Voters Trending toward Trump as Harris Campaign Scrambles to 'Shore Up Support'
by S.A. McCarthy
With less than three weeks to go before the election, Vice President Kamala Harris is hemorrhaging support from a key demographic which has, historically, skewed in favor of Democrats: young black voters. According to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll, 78% of likely black voters intend to cast their ballots for Harris and 15% intend to vote for Trump. Already, Trump's support from black voters is on track to be almost triple what he received in the 2016 election and among the highest percentages of support received by any Republican presidential candidate. Only 7% of voters surveyed said that they voted for Trump in 2020.
