ALAN KEYES — Saul of Tarsus, known to us as St. Paul, is often cited as an example of the way the Lord can transform and use, for His good purposes, people who have egregiously sinned against Him. Some self- professed Christian supporters of Donald Trump have cited St. Paul in their efforts to overcome objections to Mr. Trump's candidacy, raised in light of the anti-Christian tenor of his way of life before he began pursuing his political ambitions. Aside from his self-flaunted reputation as a sexual libertine, Mr. Trump stood solidly in support of so-called "abortion rights," just like Hillary Clinton.... (more)

WES VERNON — Having witnessed presidential races during much of the 20th and so far in the 21st century, it is hard to figure out what's in store leading up to November 8th, when all the votes are in. Based on what is coming to the forefront even as I write, there is too much at stake this time for Hillary Clinton to "get away with it" as she has in the past.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — Left-wing media critics I have debated over the years have repeatedly bashed the slanted "corporate media." But now that a Republican presidential candidate has taken up this charge, with concrete proof, they are shying away from supporting his critique. You see, these critics were Bernie Sanders supporters, and Sanders has sold out to those special interests by throwing his support to the corporate candidate, Democrat Hillary Clinton.... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — So now Hillary finally knows what the "(C)" stands for in government documents: It's Cartwright . . . as in four-star Marine General James E. Cartwright, the retired 67-year-old former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the expendable federal official against whom laws protecting classified information actually get enforced....

NEWSMAX — WikiLeaks deduced that its supporters may be behind the massive attack on the United States' internet that left many websites and segments of the country offline Friday. The group posted a message on Twitter, asking its supporters to cease its cyber attacks. A wave of attacks hit several websites Friday morning and a second attack occurred early Friday afternoon....

October 22, 2016
ETF NEWS — A new email uncovered by WikiLeaks heavily suggests that Brent Budowsky, an ex-legislative director to Congressman Bill Alexander and oddly short-lived political blogger, was involved in an initiative to pay off the Sanders campaign to support Hillary Clinton.... (more)


October 22, 2016
NEWSMAX — Hillary Clinton has a pledge she likes to make on the campaign trail, one she repeated a few times during Wednesday night's final presidential debate: "I will not add a penny to the debt," reports The Washington Post.... (more)

TIMOTHY P. CARNEY — Hillary Clinton can change her views in an instant on trade, guns, gay marriage, and all sorts of issues, but she's consistent in this: she wants war. The Democratic nominee in the final debate reiterated her bellicose stance towards Syria. Combined with her 2003 vote for war in Iraq, and her central role in getting the U.S. into the 2011 war in Libya, Clinton could become the most hawkish candidate elected president in most Americans' lifetimes....

JOSEPH FARAH — The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim Brotherhood front group posing as a "civil rights" organization, recently reported the results of a national opinion survey it sponsored on the presidential election.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Donald Trump began with self-deprecating jokes and some friendly jabs at his presidential rival Hillary Clinton as normal at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner.... (more)


October 22, 2016
NEWSMAX — Rep. Peter King slammed Hillary Clinton for offending Catholics in quoting Pope Francis during the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner Thursday night. King, a New York Republican, spoke to JD Hayworth on Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Prime" Friday and said Clinton crossed the line.... (more)


October 22, 2016
NEWSMAX — It's still too early to say who will win the presidential election despite several polls and the national polling average tipping the scales toward Democrat Hillary Clinton, pollster John Zogby told Newsmax TV.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — Hillary Clinton's secret email account caused her to miss a call, apparently to the French foreign minister, according to newly released emails Friday that showed the then-secretary of state frustrated by the system she had established. Top personal aide Huma Abedin was trying to set up a call with someone identified as Kouchner -- seemingly Bernard Kouchner, the top French diplomat at the time -- but Mrs. Clinton's OK for the call didn't get to Ms. Abedin in time....

October 22, 2016
WASHINGTON TIMES — Hillary Clinton's security detail hated her so much they laughed when she broke her elbow as secretary of state in 2009. "We sort of got the last laugh. It was kind of like payback: You're treating us like s--t. Hey karma is a bitch! We were smiling to ourselves," an unnamed agent told The New York Post Wednesday.... (more)


October 22, 2016
WASHINGTON TIMES — A new thread from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's leaked emails show one of her former top aides discussing work with "very friendly" reporters in the early days of the Democrat hopeful's secret email server scandal.... (more)


October 22, 2016
JOHN FUND — The last time an inarticulate, septuagenarian Republican candidate fared poorly in debates while running against a member of the Clinton family was 1996. That year Bob Dole lost to Bill Clinton. Dole is not Donald Trump, but Republicans reacted to Dole's likely loss in October with a cold, unemotional strategy. It was best articulated by Haley Barbour, the chairman of the Republican National Committee: "If Clinton is elected, heaven forbid, the last thing the American people want is for him to have a blank check in the form of a liberal Democrat Congress."...

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Allegations that a top official at the State Department proposed a 'quid pro quo' with the FBI in order to declassify a Hillary Clinton email is leading to more scrutiny of his tenure at State, as well as President Obama's record of ethics enforcement at departments across the executive branch....

WORLDNETDAILY — Among the trove of emails released by WikiLeaks this month are at least 22 that reveal a smear campaign directed against WND senior writer and New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi in 2008, the year he released his No. 1 bestseller "The Obama Nation."... (more)

FOX NEWS — Highly disruptive cyber attacks snarled Web traffic on the East Coast Friday, shutting down access to some of the Web's most popular sites and frustrating their users. A slew of major sites including Twitter, Netflix, Spotify and Reddit were affected by what was described as several distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), on the Internet services company Dyn....

NEWSMAX — Most voters say that Hillary Clinton should have been indicted over her mishandling of classified information when she was secretary of state, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.... (more)

GREG COROMBOS — Gun rights advocates and other experts are firing back at Hillary Clinton's assertion in Wednesday's presidential debate that she opposed the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision on gun rights because the court failed to protect toddlers from getting access to firearms.... (more)

WESLEY PRUDEN — Nobody has accused Hillary Clinton of setting an example of how to dress for success, and certainly not for fun. She's clearly no Melania Trump. But she may be assisting the Chinese in bringing back "the Mao suit." She probably shouldn't expect a standing ovation from men.... (more)

DAVID FRENCH — I distinctly remember the first time I saw a picture of my then-seven-year-old daughter's face in a gas chamber. It was the evening of September 17, 2015. I had just posted a short item to the Corner calling out notorious Trump ally Ann Coulter for aping the white-nationalist language and rhetoric of the so-called alt-right. Within minutes, the tweets came flooding in. My youngest daughter is African American, adopted from Ethiopia, and in alt-right circles that's an unforgivable sin. It's called "race-cucking" or "raising the enemy."... (more)

RICH LOWRY — No one can accuse Kellyanne Conway of complacency. She is already preparing for post-election recriminations. Donald Trump's campaign manager has recently cited Hillary Clinton's financial advantage, media bias, and President Barack Obama's popularity as reasons Trump should be losing to Clinton even more badly. She also floated the stabbed-in-the-back thesis: "We have the Never Trumpers," she said in a MSNBC interview, "who are costing us 4 or 5 percent in places."... (more)

WES VERNON — "It doesn't seem to matter anymore. No matter which way you turn, no matter which exit you try to make a mad dash for (figuratively speaking), you barely miss getting beyond the gate that slams shut in your face." Sound familiar? That was the lead warning in this column May 4, 2015, titled "Don't you get it? We're surrounded."... (more)
