JERRY NEWCOMBE — During trying times like these, with many storms upon us (literally and figuratively), no book provides greater comfort than the Bible. Yet how many actually read it? Although there are studies noting a drop in Bible-reading among Americans in recent times, nonetheless, 47 million are reported to be “Scripture engaged.” No other book would come close to that kind of readership. As of this writing, the education department of the state of Oklahoma is planning to purchase 55,000 Bibles for the public schools. I’m sure the left is gnashing their teeth over such a plan....

BOB UNRUH — Tim Walz has made a statement that America’s Electoral College “needs to go.” That process, of course, is what the nation’s Founders established to make sure that a handful of major population centers would not, forever, control the results of each election. It allows even low-population states to have an influence on the results, even if those large concentrations of voters in cities and states still have more influence.... (more)

AP — Florida’s storm-battered Gulf Coast raced against a Category 5 hurricane Monday as workers sprinted to pick up debris left over from Helene two weeks ago and highways were clogged with people fleeing ahead of the storm. The center of Hurricane Milton could come ashore Wednesday in the Tampa Bay region, which has not endured a direct hit by a major hurricane in more than a century.... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — The songwriter, actor, country/western singer, musician, U.S. Army veteran, helicopter pilot, accomplished rugby player and boxer, Rhodes scholar, Pomona College and University of Oxford degreed, and summa cum laude literature graduate, Kris Kristofferson, recently died at 88. Americans may have known him best for writing smash hits like “Me and Bobby McGee” and “For the Good Times,” his wide-ranging, star-acting roles in A Star is Born and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, his numerous solo albums, especially with then-spouse and singer Rita Coolidge, and the country group super-quartet he formed with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson....

NEW YORK POST — “President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America,” Musk stressed to the audience. In his brief remarks, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO took shots at President Biden and fellow Democrats while praising Trump, 78, from the same stage where the ex-president took a bullet to the ear when would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire on July 13. “You know, the true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire. And we had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot,” Musk said to raucous applause.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Billionaire CEO Elon Musk is sending in hundreds of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite systems to areas hit hardest by Hurricane Helene, saving lives as FEMA falters in its own mission. It’s a triumph of modern innovation: The devices connect to low-orbiting satellites, allowing first responders to communicate and providing 30 days of free internet access to residents of storm-ravaged areas who’d otherwise be completely cut off. Of course, as Musk himself pointed out, Starlink likely would’ve already been up and running in some of these areas if the Harris-Biden Federal Communications Commission hadn’t slammed the brakes on a $885 million grant to SpaceX to provide broadband to rural communities back in 2022....

PJ MEDIA — In a surprising turn of events, Kamala Harris's running mate, Tim Walz, may have just delivered the most damaging blow to her presidential campaign—and it came from an accidental moment of honesty. It’s no secret that Kamala is trying to figure out how to simultaneously present herself as a “new way forward” without distancing herself too much from Joe Biden. The way Kamala speaks, you would think that Donald Trump is the incumbent president.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — The father of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was reportedly profiled by the former president’s 2016 campaign — as one neighbor claims the family had MAGA decor in their yard until recently. Matthew Brian Crooks, 53, who legally purchased the AR-15 rifle used in his son’s attack in Butler, Pa., over the weekend, was identified by the Trump campaign as a crucial swing-state voter who was likely to respond favorably to pro-gun messaging, according to data obtained by the UK’s Channel 4 News....

PJ MEDIA — As a spy thriller fan, I love reading about the clever gadgets the good guys use to vanquish the bad guys, which is why I've been fascinated by the story of Hezbollah's deadly exploding pagers. How did Israel pull this off? Was it really Israel who did this? This attack is even more exacting than the exploding bed at the Iranian "safe" house. Now we're learning more details of the attacks, and they're as impressive as they are diabolical. Three thousand beepers exploded this week, killing a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists and some innocents. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon lost an eye in the attack. After that attack, Hezbollah began using walkie-talkies, and they exploded.... (more)

AMERICAN GREATNESS — Chad Aldeman, a leading researcher who focuses on school finance, the teacher labor market, and assessment and accountability policy, recently wrote, “Wrong Ideas about Teacher Pay, Happiness May Keep Students from the Profession.” The essence of the piece is that teachers generally like teaching and stay in the profession for about as long as accountants or social workers stay in theirs. “Teachers may not get rich, but they live comfortably middle-class lives. Plus, teachers get to retire a couple of years earlier than other workers.”... (more)
