Newt Gingrich: Trump should emphasize three things in closing days of campaign (FOX News)

President Trump had a great closing debate Thursday night. His tone was presidential. His discipline made the debate feel far more substantive and appropriate than his first debate with former Vice President Joe Biden.

By contrast, four days of hiding in the basement seemed to drain Biden of some of his energy. Late in the debate, Biden was tired enough he made a clear statement attacking the oil and gas industry, which he would never have made if he were fresh. [Read More]

Biden family scandal: Seven uncomfortable realities confronting the Democrat nominee (Just the News)

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has offered short, at times, halting defenses of his son Hunter’s business deals in recent weeks after months of ignoring an increasingly clear narrative of a family member pursuing lucrative business deals in the shadows of his vice presidency.

“Not one single solitary thing was out of line,” Biden said last Thursday when the questions about his son’s business dealings came up at the last presidential debate. “Not a single thing.” [Read More]

“Vote No Arlington” Organizes Against Public School Bond (VoteNoARL)

Vote No Arlington, a newly-formed referendum committee, is organizing against the county’s 2020 public school bond. The committee is urging Arlingtonians to “send a message” to school board members by voting “no” on the bond.

“Arlington Public Schools must do better,” says Vote No Arlington founding member Geoff Olinde. “School officials have failed to prioritize the district’s most critical needs. With schools closed and enrollment falling, future capacity needs are currently unknown. Any new bonding this year should be laser-focused on just one goal: getting kids safely back in the classroom.”

Alexandra Bocian, a mother of three, says district leaders have lost her trust. “After county schools closed last semester, the district failed to educate students virtually — all lessons were review-only. This school year, the district still lacks a serious plan to reopen schoolhouse doors,” Bocian laments. “With such dismal results, district leaders shouldn’t expect us to raise their credit limit.” [Read More]

Twitter CEO Dorsey pressed by Cruz on restricting Hunter Biden stories: ‘Who the hell elected you?’ (FOX News)

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, ripped into Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey during a hearing with tech titans on Wednesday, accusing him and his social media platform of improperly censoring reporting that reflected poorly on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, asking at point, “Who the hell elected you?”

The exchange comes as Republicans over the last several weeks have decried Twitter’s actions to lock the New York Post’s Twitter account, and censor links to the outlet’s stories, on Biden’s son, Hunter, and his overseas business dealings. [Read More]
