THE FEDERALIST — Having seemingly learned nothing from their losses in the 2022 midterms, Senate Republicans are preparing to sell out their voters by working with their Democrat colleagues to alter the definition of marriage under federal law by the end of this week. On Monday, a bipartisan group of senators announced they had reached an agreement on adding an amendment to the deceptively named, “Respect for Marriage Act,” which they claim would both codify same-sex marriage into federal law and protect “Americans’ religious liberties and diverse beliefs.”...

WORLDNETDAILY — A variety of commentators and pundits have noted, over the two years of Joe Biden's presidential term, that if the GOP gains the House majority in this midterm election, which now appears probable, President Trump could return to Washington. As House speaker. WND columnist Wayne Allyn Root was one. He wrote, just a few months back, "We need Trump now more than ever. Only Trump has the cajones to stop this madness, this self-destruction, this national suicide. Trump is the only one who can bring us back from the abyss. Trump is the one that Democrats, the media, the deep state, and the D.C. Swamp fear. How do I know? Look at the news headlines. Trump is all they talk about. They are obsessed with stopping him, slandering him, destroying him, indicting him."... (more)

NEWSMAX — It's not always easy to take Arizona election officials at their word, acknowledges Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz. However, if the reports are accurate about Arizona having roughly 570,000-plus ballots left to count over the next few days, then Biggs has a good idea of which candidate will prevail in the too-close-to-call gubernatorial race – pitting Republican Kari Lake against Democrat Katie Hobbs (the current secretary of state)....

THE FEDERALIST — Democrats tried to frame the 2022 midterms as a referendum on Republicans, whom they’ve branded a “threat to democracy,” but the real threat to our nation is how little Americans can trust elections that drag on for days or weeks. Many Americans already have a hard time believing that although nearly 75 percent of voters think the country is on the wrong track, they chose to keep many of the same crises-causing candidates. But assuming that discrepancy can be explained by the Democrats’ get-out-the-vote machine and other factors, Americans have bigger doubts — namely that three days after polls closed, voters still don’t know who controls the House of Representatives and the Senate, nor who will govern several western states....

YOUTUBE — If Kari Lake becomes Arizona governor as polls suggest, she is likely to keep the critical swing state at the center of a national fight over election denial ahead of the 2024 presidential race, when former President Donald Trump is likely to run again. In an unorthodox first-time campaign for political office, Lake embraced Trump’s claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, saying that she would not have certified Joe Biden’s win in the state and would have sued in an effort to stop the use of voting machines, and she declined to say if she would accept the results of the gubernatorial election if she lost....

PJ MEDIA — Happy Veterans’ Day! A great day to remember that freedom isn’t free, and to thank all those people in our lives who served or are serving in our nation’s military. West Point military academy chose a method of celebrating Veterans’ Day that was a little less focused on freedom and appreciation for service members, however — the day before the holiday, West Point gave unvaccinated cadets 10 hours to agree to get the COVID-19 vaccine or face punishment and potential expulsion. Because nothing says “Thank you for your service” like threatening to ruin your life for not taking an experimental vaccine.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — In eight years, America will celebrate a major milestone—the 400th anniversary of Boston. I passed through Boston’s airport in 2021 and noticed that they seem to be gearing up for this milestone with lots of signs and images celebrating major events in Boston’s history. Alas, they grossly underplayed the role of the Puritans in this upcoming anniversary. The Puritans established Boston. Their leader, Rev. John Winthrop, even said, famously, “For we must consider that we shall be like a City upon a Hill, the eyes of all people are on us.” The “city on a hill” reference comes ultimately from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, as his hearers knew....

TOWNHALL — A U.S. Judge in Texas struck down President Joe Biden’s plan to give millions of student debt borrowers up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients and $10,00 for those who borrowed money using federal student loans. "Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine. Still, no one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States,” U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman wrote in a statement....

TRISTAN JUSTICE — Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee captured a third term Tuesday night after his same-state GOP colleague in the upper chamber de facto backed Lee’s challenger, a Democrat masquerading as an independent. Mitt Romney, the junior senator from Utah, was the only Republican senator who refused Lee an endorsement against failed 2016 third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin. In April, Romney told Politico his refusal to endorse in the contest was due to having “two friends” in the race.... (more... (more)

JUST THE NEWS — President Joe Biden on Wednesday suggested that he plans to mount a major effort to outlaw broad classes of firearms in the United States just one day after a better-than-expected showing of Democrats in the 2022 midterms. At a press conference at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, responding to a question from the Associated Press's Zeke Miller about what he "intend[s] to do differently" to persuade more voters to back his various agendas, Biden said: "Nothing. Because they're finding out what we're doing. The more they know about what we're doing, the more support there is."... (more)

FOX NEWS — "Life, Liberty & Levin" host Mark Levin outlined the choices being presented to the American people in Tuesday's midterm elections in a final message to voters on his show over the weekend. "What does the Democrat Party stand for?… This is a party that's never embraced Americanism. It's a party that's always used racism for most of its existence against black people and other minorities. And today it has a strange sort of anti-white racism that you hear on TV and so forth. Joe Biden is the head of the Democrat Party. He speaks for the Democrat Party, and he says things to America and about Americans that no president has ever said, ever, even in the middle of a Civil War, even in the middle of World War Two. Joe Biden gives speeches in which he trashes the American people, just like Hillary Clinton does, just like Barack Obama does. This is new in American history."... (more)
