						<title><![CDATA[ The Unscientific Attack on the Science of Dr. Scott Atlas]]></title>
											<subtitle></subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ The news media until recently had rarely criticized the medical advice of experts -- especially those who worked for federal bureaucracies, international organizations or elite universities.
Yet the much-praised Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, has demonstrably weakened the effort to fight COVID-19.
During the critical initial weeks of the virus's spread, Tedros parroted Chinese propaganda. He falsely assured a complacent world that the virus was likely not transmissible between humans and did not warrant travel bans. That Tedros was the first WHO...]]></description>

											<subtitle>COMMENTARY</subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Welcome to October of a presidential election year - time to be on the lookout for an "October surprise." However, in 2020 one could argue that this traditionally anticipated and often feared cliche of a concept - a "surprise" powerful enough to change the outcome of a presidential election - is now outdated and incapable of changing hearts, minds, and votes.
But first, some definitions behind that theory, which posits that shortly before Election Day, God forbid, there is a catastrophic, history-changing, national or international event not intentionally perpetrated by either campaign. Such...]]></description>

											<subtitle></subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ In their instant analyses of Donald Trump's performance in the presidential debate, the TV pundits summoned their stock phrases for disaster. It was a "s---show," Dana Bash said on CNN. Over at NBC, Chuck Todd called it a "train wreck of the making of one person." And CNN's Jake Tapper strung a bunch together, calling the debate "a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck." 
But the very best observation came from an undecided voter in a focus group led by Republican pollster Frank Luntz. Ruthie from Pennsylvania said that debating Trump was like trying to "win an argument with a...]]></description>

											<description><![CDATA[ Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who spoke at the Republican National Convention, declined to bring murder charges against the three white officers involved in the tragic shooting of Louisville's Breonna Taylor, a Black woman.
Contrary to the public assertion made by a Taylor family lawyer, Cameron, who is Black, said the Louisville police did not go to the wrong address when executing a search warrant. Nor was Taylor shot and killed in her bed, as also publicly asserted by the family lawyer. Ben Crump, a spokesman and defense attorney for the Taylor family, falsely claimed the...]]></description>

											<description><![CDATA[ If you're like me, you enjoy presidential debates for the memorable lines, the zingers, and watching two politicians talented enough to win the nomination of their parties debate the future of the country. If you're like me, two other things are probably true: The debates are usually pitched toward people like us, and we're atypical of most voters in the country.
Understanding those latter two points is the key to understanding Tuesday night's face-off between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, because for the first time in years this debate was not pitched toward people like us. Trying to score it...]]></description>

											<subtitle>COMMENTARY</subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Neither Joe Biden nor debate moderator Chris Wallace seems to believe that vote fraud with mail-in ballots is a real issue. They both made that clear in Tuesday night's presidential debate. "Nobody has established at all there is a fraud related to the mail-in ballot," Biden claimed. Chris Wallace asserted: "The biggest problem with mail-in voting is not fraud, historically."
President Trump tried to explain that absentee ballots, which people have to request, are more secure than ballots that are mailed out to everyone on the voter rolls. Many people on these lists have moved or passed away,...]]></description>

											<description><![CDATA[ Good morning, it's Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020. I'm not someone who customarily says, "I told you so," but I prepared you yesterday for the likelihood that last night's Trump-Biden debate would put no one in mind of the Kennedy-Nixon match-ups of 1960 and, well, I was right about that.
Reaching back even further into history, however, the Berlin Airlift officially ended on this date in 1949 at a time when both future presidents, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, were serving in the House of Representatives. But the commander-in-chief who ordered this little-remembered but highly heroic...]]></description>

											<subtitle>ANALYSIS</subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Donald Trump never liked the nickname.  Back when he was a New Yorker and a newly minted Republican and generally considered a political oddity, Jeb Bush branded him on live television. According to the former Florida governor, Trump was "the chaos candidate."  
It fit then, and it still fits now: The first Trump vs. Biden debate marked the return of the chaos candidacy.  
Though no one who knew him well expected Trump to change because of a trifling factor such as living in the White House for nearly four years, the incumbent president was in classic form Tuesday night. For 98 minutes, he...]]></description>

											<description><![CDATA[ Donald Trump drove a steamroller to a knife fight, and Joe Biden managed to survive simply because the overkill was so unseemly to so many observers. It also helped that the former vice president remained standing until the bitter end despite the overwhelming onslaught of invective.
Once again, Biden remains a serious contender to win the Oval Office not so much because of his own strength as a candidate but because of the lack of mainstream support for his opponent - or more precisely in this case -- the president's inability to operate in anything but bellicose overdrive.

											<subtitle>COMMENTARY</subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Social media platforms are our modern digital public squares in which the public, press, and policymakers come together on what amounts to digital private property to debate our nation's future. Within these Orwellian walled gardens, ever-changing rules of "acceptable speech" dictate what Americans are permitted to say and see. Dissenting views are often redefined as "misinformation" and "hate speech," while inconvenient facts disappear into the "memory hole." As Silicon Valley has become the de facto Ministry of Truth, why have the corporate gatekeepers not encountered greater pushback? The...]]></description>

Don't fall for this fear-mongering. Here's a rundown of the false claims, with the facts that disprove them.
Whopper No. 1: Joe Biden warns that Barrett's nomination is "an opportunity to overturn the Affordable Care Act."
There's little chance of that.

The University of Chicago received the highest score - just 64.2 points out of a total of 100; DePauw University was at the bottom, with 44.2 points. The University of Arkansas, the University of Minnesota, UC-Berkeley and Princeton were bunched in the middle with about 53 points.

The first televised debate of the 2020 general election takes place tonight, a quadrennial ritual started 60 years ago by John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. I almost hesitate to mention that precedent: Unless you're a masochist, don't even watch it. Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon did not care for one another personally, but they were respectful in those debates and refrained entirely from insults, invective, and ad hominem argument.
The 1960 presidential debates concerned the policy issues of the day, which both men knew...]]></description>

"I'm not joking," he clarified when asked about the seriousness of his public calls for toxicology screenings of his opponent. "I'm willing to take a drug test. I think he should too." 
Trump insists that the signs of substance use are plainly visible, if the press would only look.  
He watched Biden clash with other candidates early on in the Democratic primary, "and I said there's no way he could continue." When he watched Biden go...]]></description>

The group that had the largest income gains, by far, was Black women. Their incomes nearly doubled over that period (after inflation). The race gap persists, but it is much lower today than it was in 1950. Does this sound like the financial result from a systemically racist country?

						<title><![CDATA[ Voter Mood Unclear in Key PA County After Trump Visit]]></title>
											<subtitle></subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ On Saturday, following his introduction of Judge Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court nominee, President Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania's Dauphin County, home to Harrisburg, the capital city and county seat.
Trump's visit wasn't surprising. In the state's largely Republican south-central region, Dauphin is the lone Democratic county, which Hillary Clinton carried by less than three percentage points in 2016. Though Democrats have outnumbered GOP voters since 2008 -- when Barack Obama became the first Democrat since 1964 to win the county -- Dauphin still trends Republican in lower...]]></description>

											<description><![CDATA[ BETHEL PARK, Pennsylvania -- Just a few short months ago, if you had driven down Baptist Road in this middle-class southern suburb of Pittsburgh, it would have been hard to miss the Bernie Sanders shrine filling the yard of a tidy, yellow-brick ranch home. There was the life-size cutout of the former presidential candidate, a large, homemade "FEEL THE BERN" sign along the berm of the road, a few "Bernie 2020" and "Get Berned" signs, as well as a lively decorated mailbox plastered with Bernie bumper stickers.
Sometime between the Pennsylvania primary in June (when Democratic voters gave Joe...]]></description>

						<title><![CDATA[ A Reminder to American Jews: Civilization Is Fragile]]></title>
											<subtitle></subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Yesterday was Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is meant to be a time of intense self-examination. In light of that, I offer this column.
The question I receive more than any other from non-Jews is: Why are so many Jews on the left?
Before addressing it, I should note that the same question could be asked of Christians and other non-Jews. Why have so many mainstream Protestants and Catholics (up to and including the pope) embraced the left? Why have nearly all blacks, the majority of Hispanics and Asian Americans, the most successful ethnic group in America, embraced the...]]></description>

											<subtitle></subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ By nominating Federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump kept his word, and more than that. 
Should she be confirmed, he will have made history.
Even his enemies would have to concede that Trump triumphed where his Republican predecessors -- even Ronald Reagan, who filled three court vacancies -- fell short. Trump's achievement -- victory in the Supreme Court wars that have lasted for half a century -- is a triumph that will affect the nation and the law for years, perhaps decades.
Trump's remaking of the Supreme Court for constitutionalism may well be the crown jewel...]]></description>

						<title><![CDATA[ What Does It Really Mean to Be Pro-Life?]]></title>
											<subtitle></subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Some are calling Donald Trump "the most pro-life president ever." He's definitely been anti-abortion. But he's hardly pro-life.
The "consistent life ethic" gets closer to the heart of what this means. Originating in the Catholic Church, it expands the pro-life concept to include opposition to capital punishment, humane treatment of immigrants and even the wearing of face masks during a pandemic. Trump subscribes to none of the above.
"Why aren't all pro-lifers pro-maskers?" writes James Martin, a Jesuit priest and editor at large of America, a Jesuit magazine. "This should be a...]]></description>

						<title><![CDATA[ Debate Is a Golden Opportunity to Engage Young Voters]]></title>
											<subtitle>COMMENTARY</subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ We constantly hear about how polarized our country has become. However, it's not just about political views; for young people, there is a chasm between those fully engaged in politics and those who feel apathetic and disengaged. In the last two years, I've spoken at 30 campuses and worked with more than 1,000 students across the country. The entire time, I struggled to find young people who felt hopeful, optimistic, and balanced in their investment in our political process.
Americans of all ages need to be active in politics and committed to causes. It is our social responsibility. However,...]]></description>

Trump's announcement of Barrett for the seat held by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is launching a high-stakes, fast-track election season fight over confirmation of a conservative judge who is expected to shift the court rightward as it reviews health care, abortion access and other hot-button...]]></description>

											<subtitle>COMMENTARY</subtitle>
											<description><![CDATA[ Joe Biden's biggest problem for Tuesday night is not a weakness in the mechanics of debating. History suggests he will be well-prepared for the verbal jousting. His actual problem is his disastrous decades-long record, particularly on the economy. On this score, even the rhetorical skills of Demosthenes cannot help his cause with American workers. Even worse for Biden, his record of globalist failure will pale in comparison to the incredible economic achievements - both past and present - of President Trump.
Even in this highly unusual year of 2020, the economy remains, by a wide margin, the...]]></description>
