Columbia notified Israel-American business professor Shai Davidai on Tuesday that he will be banned from campus for violating university policy on harassing school employees On Tuesday night, Davidai posted a video on social media accusing Columbia of retaliating against him for posting a video of himself asking Columbia’s chief operating officer Cass Halloway why he allowed pro-Hamas demonstrators to protest on the one year anniversary of October 7.

In her first formal interview with Fox News, a 25-minute long sit down on chief political anchor Bret Baier’s show Special Report, Vice President Kamala Harris had trouble answering questions about what Americans find to be the most pressing electoral issues — including immigration, the economy, and President Joe Biden’s exit from the presidential race.
The pair began by talking about immigration, a top issue for American voters. When Baier asked Harris how many illegal immigrants her administration has released into the United States, Harris dodged, and said, “Bret, let’s just get to the point. The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired.”
Vice President Kamala Harris, in a rare Fox News interview on Wednesday, dodged a bevy of questions about the Biden-Harris immigration policies, the president’s cognitive decline and her support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for prisoners.
The interview is part of Ms. Harris’ pursuit of support from Republican votes who have become disillusioned with former President Donald Trump.
She repeatedly sidestepped questions, often pivoting to sharp attacks on Mr. Trump and boasts of Republican politicos and former Trump administration officials who are backing her. Fox News anchor Bret Baier spent the first 10 minutes focused on immigration, an issue that’s top-of-mind for many Republican voters.

Georgia, a critical swing state, demolished its record for ballots cast on the first day of early voting, state officials said.
Voters in the southern battleground cast 328,000 ballots on Tuesday. The previous record for the first day was 136,000 in 2020.
“Over 300,000 votes cast today! That’s 123% higher than the old record for the 1st day. Great job counties & voters,” Gabe Sterling, the chief operating officer for the state secretary of state, said on X. Georgia will award 16 electoral votes and is expected to play a key role in who wins the White House. Mr. Trump won the state in 2016, but President Biden
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday will tout her GOP support in a bid to attract Trump-wary Republicans and independents in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the most purplish of Philadelphia’s suburbs.
More than 100 Republicans will join Ms. Harris at a rally in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania, near the site where George Washington famously crossed the Delaware River. Later, she will try to hammer home her anti-Trump message to a conservative audience when she is interviewed on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
Among the Republicans who lay out why they are crossing party lines to back Ms. Harris in this year’s election are former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman,

At American Greatness, Roger Kimball has fun at the expense of Kamala Harris’s no good, terrible, very bad week. It is all worth reading; he talks about the fake pheasant hunt, the “I’m man enough to vote for Kamala” ad, etc. But I want to focus on this story:
Then there was a disastrous “town hall” meeting in which, again, multiple humiliations were assembled. First, some attentive scribe noticed that Harris was reading her replies off a teleprompter. Remember that was supposed to be an open forum in which Harris could connect with voters personally. But here she was, repeating scripted replies to pre-formulated questions.

I am not a ballistics expert and don't play one on TV. I didn't even sleep in a Holiday Inn Express, so what I write here is based entirely on the analysis of others.
But I am pretty sure they are right, given the balance of the evidence and the provenance of the opinion piece published by the New York Times. At issue is a piece published by the Times in which 65 medical personnel who have worked in Gaza during the Israeli operation accuse soldiers of deliberately targeting Gazan children, shooting them in the head. There are lurid
When Kamala Harris ran for president in 2019, she repeatedly warned oil companies they should be prepared to face hefty fines and even criminal prosecution under a future Harris administration for their role in contributing to climate change.
Now, as the Democratic nominee, Harris is highlighting the country’s record oil and gas production. She rarely talks about climate change, and, despite having been a vigorous supporter of the Green New Deal, her campaign’s website is light on climate policy details.
It’s a stark shift that illustrates the delicate politics of energy — but also how Harris has abandoned a number of progressive positions
North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN over an article the network published connecting the Republican gubernatorial nominee to numerous salacious race and sex-related comments posted on a porn site years ago, his campaign announced at a Tuesday morning news conference in Raleigh.
Robinson has categorically denied the contents of the report, which connects him to a username that identified as a “black Nazi” and defended slavery on a porn-site messaging board years ago, among other unsavory posts. The report prompted the Republican Governors Association to stop reserving ads on his behalf,
Earlier today, I wrote that the presidential race appears to have shifted slightly this month in terms of national poll results, and perhaps more substantially in the betting markets. The real currents of public opinion that matter don't take place on a national basis, however; they take place in the states where the election will be won and lost.
As RCP notes, the trends look different in those two contexts. Kamala Harris leads in the aggregate national polls by 1.7 points, which sounds like good news for Democrats until one looks at the historic trends in the last two cycles. On this date
J.D. Vance is SOOOO good at this.
The corporate media has been on a mission to destroy Donald Trump for almost a decade. They take swings at him, and he gives as good as he gets in the verbal fistfights. Think of it as a WWE fight where big bruisers slug it out.
The media taking on J.D. Vance, though, is something else entirely. The media assassins come at him with fists and occasionally a sword, and Vance whips out his gun and shoots them. Vance is a master at this kind of campaigning. I have never seen anybody better at dealing with the hostile media
Newly promoted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who also now serves as a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, prevents national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press briefings, people familiar with the matter told Axios.
Infighting and “tension” reportedly exist between Jean-Pierre and Kirby about how much time each is allotted to provide the establishment media with canned public relations remarks during press briefings, Axios previously reported. Kirby is reportedly a “Biden favorite” with experience in foreign policy.
Axios reported Monday on Jean-Pierre’s attempt to prevent Kirby from speaking to the press:

Vice President Kamala Harris is adding to her recent “media blitz” that until now has included stops at mostly friendly news outlets, talk shows and podcasts (which the Democratic presidential nominee has still inexplicably managed to bomb).
Yet, this week, she’s shaking things up and doing her first ever sit-down interview with Fox News. The interview will take place Wednesday with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Baier has said that he won't treat Harris with kid gloves during their conversation, and that any editing of the interview will only be for “timing” and that “no topic is off the table.” Sounds promising.
Former President Bill Clinton had a bizarre moment while eulogizing the late Ethel Kennedy before a crowd of influential politicians and Kennedy family members.
During his remarks at the Kennedy matriarch's funeral Wednesday afternoon in Washington, D.C., Clinton revealed to the crowd what he really thought of Robert Kennedy's widow.
'I thought your mother was the cat’s meow,' Bill said about the late 96-year-old. 'She would flirt with me in the most innocent ways,' he continued to cautious laughs from the audience. (Photo) The former president continued on, seemingly making another joke about how she had 11 children.
Shocking police body camera video shows the moment a Virginia woman was shot dead by an officer after she charged him with a knife.
Sydney Wilson, 33, a commercial real estate manager in the DC area, was visited by an officer for a welfare check at her apartment in Reston on September 16 at 10 a.m.
Officer Peter Liu - who had 14 years of experience in crisis intervention - knocked on the door, and Wilson opened.
When the officer identified himself, she slammed it back shut.
For the next three minutes, the policeman continued to knock, only for the 6ft 6in Wilson to open the door and charge him with a knife.

to Be President,’ He’s ‘Increasingly
Unstable and Unhinged’ 15 replies
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump was “unqualified to be president” because he is “increasingly unstable and unhinged.”
Clinton said, “The vice president has pivoted toward the closing argument. The closing argument has two parts. The closing argument is what kind of country do we want to be? What kind of people are we? Do we want to be divided? Do we want to be set into arguments with each other that we can’t agree on solving our problems? She is qualified to bring our country together and he is not.”
In a race too close for comfort, with everything on the line, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) delivered a masterful debate performance on Wednesday night. Facing off against Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), the current senator pummelled his opponent on issue after issue. Allred wasn't ready for primetime, contradicting himself at multiple points and walking right into numerous receipt-laden traps set by Cruz.
Cruz came into the debate planning to expose Allred for the radical he is, not the moderate he claims to be. I think it's safe to say he succeeded. (X) CRUZ: He's said not a word about his own record. I have to admit

Deport this woman to Gaza. This incident demonstrates the stupidity inherent among the pro-Hamas masses that have engulfed our college campuses. What is higher education’s purpose if students cannot differentiate between a Greek and an Israeli flag? I’m not kidding; we have this reported incident from Efi's Gyro in Montclair, New Jersey, where a pro-Hamas clown vandalizes a Greek restaurant, ripping down the Hellenic flag because she thought it was Israeli. [Video]
The establishment’s workers are aghast. She then tries to lecture them about how it’s not okay because there’s a genocide in Gaza—
How refreshing it is to see the Democratic Party in full panic mode. Nothing is working and as a result, the entire and profoundly unsuccessful Obama-Biden interlude is stricken and faltering. In fairness to the voters, the country could not have voted Republican in 2008 after the disaster of President George W. Bush — the Iraqi war topped out by the financial collapse and panic traceable to President Clinton’s requirement that the financial markets be flooded with commercially unsustainable mortgages.
There had to be a change, as there usually is after two terms of the same party, and Senator McCain was not a skilled national campaigner.
Kamala is done!
Kamala Harris sat down for a one-on-one interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.
This is the first non-softball interview of her life and she totally cracked under pressure.
A completely unhinged Kamala Harris began screaming about democracy!
“[Trump] talked about locking people up because they disagree with him! This is a democracy!” Kamala Harris shouted. “And in a democracy the president of the United States in the United States of America should be willing to be able to handle criticism without saying he would lock people up for doing it!”
A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants.
The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York.
The gang's activities in the American cities are back in the spotlight after ABC News’ Martha Raddatz
Ukraine is facing the threat of a huge influx of North Korean troops who are being trained by Russia's army.
At least 10,000 soldiers from the Pyongyang regime are understood to be taking part in manoeuvres before an expected deployment in regions close to the Ukrainian border.
The Kremlin is said to have paid North Korea to send personnel to the front in a deal struck on president Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kim Jong Un.
North Korea, like Iran, is also reported to be supplying weaponry and ammunition.

A few days ago, there was a report that the Harris campaign is in trouble and the Trump campaign is "extremely bullish" on former President Donald Trump's chances to win the presidency. The reporter, former ABC News journalist Mark Halperin, said his account is based on "robust private polling" and talks with sources on both sides. "She's in a lot of trouble," Halperin said of Vice President Kamala Harris. "Pennsylvania is tough for her right now. ... Wisconsin and Michigan are looking worse for Harris than before. ... The conversations I'm having with Trump people and Democrats with data are extremely bullish on Trump's chances in the last 48 hours.
