Voting in Prince George's County, Md. is a strange experience. This Election Day, I drove to the polling place, cast my ballot, and left without seeing a single sign endorsing any candidate. Perhaps that sounds like a blessing. But it's more a feature of Democratic dominance in this area. One-party rule can produce some benefits, but it brings its own hazards as well.

A cadre of pro-transgender nonprofits is systematically evading laws in 27 states that protect minors from transgender procedures, according to a recent investigation by Manhattan Institute's Christina Buttons.

In the latest brutal example of a pregnant woman being forced to consume abortion pills against her will, a former West Point cadet and current Columbia University graduate student has been sued by his former girlfriend for assaulting her with the drugs while she was incapacitated, resulting in the death of her unborn child. Experts are pointing to how the unregulated and widely available drugs are being exploited not just by criminals on the margins of society but by men in the military and in the medical field.

There've been a lot of fake polls out there, and it's a shame that Gallup's isn't one of them. But unfortunately, the organization's new survey on the country's "shared values" is a terrifying picture of how far apart the two parties are on the basics - like loving and supporting America. Turns out, not everyone on the Left who says they care about their nation actually does. Only 6% of Democrats believe patriotism is important - a figure that should startle everyone.

"Transform." That is the watchword of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) as it calls for snap elections on November 29th. In his official announcement - which began with gender-inclusive language - Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez justified the call for elections as necessary "to undertake, in depth, the pending reforms required for citizens to reduce levels of inequality. We must mobilize to ensure that Parliament grants us a much broader, progressive majority."

No one has racked up more frequent flyer miles these last few months than Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). The GOP leader has been on a grueling trek across the country, working his hardest to drum up support for conservative candidates in the last lap before Election Day. Like a lot of people, one of his biggest frustrations this campaign season is the flood of pessimistic headlines about his party's chances. "I am traveling the country nonstop," he insisted to Fox News's Laura Ingraham, and the media is "grossly underestimating Republican enthusiasm around the country."

There was no time for cake, no celebratory toast when one of the most powerful men in America hit what would have been an inconceivable milestone back in 2023. Mike Johnson, the Republican Party's once-unassuming consolation prize, hit his three-year anniversary as speaker of the House on Sunday while he was crisscrossing the country to save the majority that no one expected him to be leading this long - or this well. Now, with just a handful of days until the nation decides which party they trust to hold that gavel, Washington's rumor mill is churning with speculation about what comes next for the likeable Louisiana dad. But frankly, there should be no speculation. Regardless of the GOP's fate next week, there's only one man Republicans should entertain as leader: the current one.

Consider abortion, marriage, human sexuality, immigration, and justice. These are not merely political issues that divide the parties. They are moral and spiritual issues which Scripture addresses.

The past week was one of the most fatal for Christians around the world in recent memory. From Nigeria to Ethiopia to Jordan, gunmen slaughtered more than a hundred Christians. The somber news reminds Christians in America of the urgent need our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ face every day. It also accentuates the stakes in Tuesday's election.

Alaska voters will face an unusual conundrum at the polls on Tuesday, where they will find two of the four candidates running for U.S. Senate have the same name. Incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan's name will appear next to the name of Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., a retiree living in Petersburg, Alaska (population 3,043), a census-designated place inaccessible by road. On Wednesday, no less than The New York Times published evidence suggesting that the campaign of Sullivan's Democratic opponent, Mary Peltola, played a role in recruiting the eponymous fake candidate to confuse Republican voters.
