#10 Biden DOJ Fights Election Integrity Efforts with Lawsuits Across the Country Ahead of the Election -  Natalia Mittelstadt for Just The News

The Biden administration's Department of Justice is suing states and towns across the country in an effort to thwart election integrity measures ahead of the presidential election, resulting in pushback from election integrity advocates. The DOJ has sued Virginia, Alabama, and rural Wisconsin towns over the removal of non-citizens from voter rolls and switching to only paper ballots and hand-counting. Some of the jurisdictions are fighting back, arguing that they are following the law as they work to ensure election integrity...



 

#9 5 Takeaways from Trump’s 3-hour interview with Joe Rogan - Brett Samuels, The Hill via NewsNation

Former President Trump sat with Joe Rogan Friday for a three-hour interview, marking the GOP nominee’s debut on one of the most popular podcasts in the country. The two men appeared to show a mutual admiration for one another, while the former president spoke at length about immigration, his intense reliance on tariffs for economic policy, and his unproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Rogan is one of the most popular and controversial media personalities in the country, with each of his episodes earning millions of downloads and often features conversations with top newsmakers. He is particularly popular with young men, who the Trump campaign has specifically targeted in the upcoming election...

Nearly twenty thousand MAGA die-hards flooded Madison Square Garden for a sold-out rally for former President Donald Trump in New York City. Tens of thousands of people were turned away as the arena reached capacity, with scores of Trump supporters spilling into nearby bars to watch the rally. The rally featured multiple celebrity appearances, including Hulk Hogan, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Tucker Carlson. Former first lady Melania Trump introduced her husband to the roaring crowd. Trump gave NYC Mayor Eric Adams a shout-out and claimed he got indicted for criticizing Biden’s handling of the migrant crisis...


 

#7 Florida Deputies Arrest Dozens of Illegal Immigrants Allegedly Caught Looting from Hurricane Milton Victims - Stepheny Price for Fox News

More than 100 people, including at least 41 illegal immigrants, have been arrested in Florida for allegedly looting and scamming victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton, local law enforcement officials said. Looting patrols in Pinellas County over the last three weeks rounded up 45 suspects on 68 charges that included armed robbery, burglary, loitering and prowling, grand theft, vandalism and trespassing, according to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri. "They’re going into people's homes, they’re taking stuff, they’re rummaging through their things," Gualtieri said...


 

#6 When Will We Know the Results of the Presidential Election? - Jared Gans, The Hill
Voters may not have to wait quite as long after Election Day as four years ago to know whom the next president will be. The public needed to wait almost five days in 2020 before most major news outlets could issue a projection, the longest they had to wait since the infamous 2000 election. But experts say some changes in state policies since then and an expected drop in mail-ins this year should speed the process up, even if the final result isn’t known on election night.

“Things will be different this year,” said Quinn Yeargin, an associate professor of law at Michigan State University. “It may not be as quick as 2022. Famous last words I suppose, but I would be surprised if the process took as long as it did in 2020.”



 
#5 Tuberville Won’t Support any McConnell Replacement Who’s Against Trump - Asher Notheis, The Washington Examiner

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said there is “no doubt” he will not support any senator seeking to replace Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who opposes former President Donald Trump, stressing the need for unity within the Republican Party. When asked about who he would like to see take on McConnell’s position in 2025, he opted to keep his opinion to himself while previewing a litmus test for anyone vying for McConnell’s role...



 

#4 J.K. Rowling Highlights Hundreds of Medals Across Dozens of Sports ‘Stolen by Men’ - Warner Todd Huston for Breitbart

Famed Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling was shocked by a recent report that shows that hundreds of female athletes have lost medals and championships to men identifying as women over the last few years and she vented her outrage on her X account. On Thursday, the British children’s book author commented on a story by the Daily Mail which revealed a recent report by the U.N.’s Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls said that hundreds of women’s medals have gone to men. “Over 890 medals, across 29 sports, stolen from women by men,” the shocked British writer exclaimed in her post...


 

#3 Judge Denies Request To Grant Nearly 1,900 South Carolina Voter Registrations To 17-Year-Olds - Published by Zero Hedge and Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times 
A judge has denied a request by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of South Carolina to compel South Carolina’s Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) and State Election Commission to reopen voter registration in the state and add thousands of eligible 17-year-olds to the voter rolls ahead of the upcoming presidential election. South Carolina law allows 17-year-olds who will turn 18 by Election Day to be added to voter rolls, but an apparent glitch in the SCDMV’s computers did not transmit the registration forms of around 17,000 would-be voters to the State Election Commission (SEC) even though the youths checked a box to register when they applied for a state ID or driver’s licenses. “Although thousands of these individuals were eligible to register to vote, were entitled to easily register through their SCDMV transaction, timely provided state officials with the information necessary to register, and indicated a desire to do so, SEC is unwilling to add them to the voter rolls or otherwise protect their fundamental right to cast a ballot in the 2024 general election,” the ACLU’s complaint reads. While around 6,000 of the affected 17-year-olds managed to register to vote some other way, that still left nearly 11,000—and possibly many more—affected by the issue, the ACLU said in a statement...

 
#2 Colleges Won’t Stop Radicalizing Americans Until Republican Lawmakers Stop Them - Cass Rutledge for The Federalist

The native-born U.S. population is also being coerced and brainwashed into abandoning American values. If our leaders do not take action to stop it, and soon, it might be too late. The latest wake-up call that something is going terribly wrong in higher education was earlier this month when University of Kansas Professor Phil Lowcock called — in class while being recorded — for the murder of men who don’t vote for Kamala Harris.

What Gov. Ron DeSantis has done with the New College of Florida, which includes abolishing its gender studies program and denying woke professors tenure, is a good start. Other Republican governors should follow suit and go further. When the next conservative presidential administration gets into power, it must give no mercy to colleges and universities that harm students. It is not a coincidence that woke colleges produce faithful Democrat voters; they are breeding grounds for leftism by design...

 

#1 Federal Court Rules In Favor Of GOP’s Effort To Prevent Ballots From Being Counted 5 Days After Election - Hailey Gomez for The Daily Caller

The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Republicans on Friday, ruling that a Mississippi law violated federal regulations by allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to five days after the election, according to a court filing. In January, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Mississippi Republican Party sued state officials over the law, which allowed election workers to count mail-in absentee ballots for up to five days after Election Day — a measure enacted in 2020, according to Mississippi Today. The three-judge panel, appointed by former President Donald Trump, reversed a lower court ruling, stating that Congress had “statutorily designated” Election Day as a single day...



 

And Now for Something Special smiley

14-Year-old Wins ‘America’s Top Young Scientist’ for Inventing Pesticide Detector For Fruits and Vegetables -  Good News Network

A 9th grader from Snellville, Georgia, has won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, after inventing a handheld device designed to detect pesticide residues on produce. Sirish Subash set himself apart with his AI-based sensor to win the grand prize of $25,000 cash and the prestigious title of “America’s Top Young Scientist.” His device, called PestiSCAND, employs spectrophotometry, which involves measuring the light that is reflected off the surface of fruits and vegetables. In his experiments, he tested over 12,000 samples of apples, spinach, strawberries, and tomatoes. Different materials reflect and absorb different wavelengths of light, and PestiSCAND can look for the specific wavelengths related to the pesticide residues.
Sirish Subash won the 2024 "America's Top Scientist" competition.
