Biggest News Headlines From This Week

Trump and Kamala Seeking Last Minute Votes

The Presidential race entered its final stretch this past week, with both candidates holding rallies across swing states and beyond. 

Trump held a huge rally at Madison Square Garden in New York—notably not a swing state, but one worth reaching from an optical standpoint. Supported by Elon Musk, JD Vance, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and more, it seemingly brought out the most talking points of any Trump rally to date.

That may have been because comedian Tony Hinchcliffe decided to joke about Puerto Rico being a ‘floating pile of garbage’, and the media decided to portray it as a serious comment. 

Not to be outdone, current President Joe Biden (not a comedian, though funny in a different way) decided to call all Trump supporters and thereby half of Americans ‘garbage’. He has since been taken off campaign calls.

Harris was endorsed by all the celebrities this week, from Lebron James to Jennifer Anniston to Leonardo Dicaprio, though apparently some attendees of Diddy parties have yet to do so. And the Mumford & Sons endorsement is sure to drive out everyone who resides in the year 2009 to the ballot box this Tuesday.  

I’m very disappointed that Trump foolishly chose to have Tony Hinchcliffe perform stand up comedy at the Madison Square Garden rally. He called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.

Now we’ll lose the entire “Puerto Rican Karen without a sense of humor” vote.

Voters Waiting Multiple Hours In Line Across the US

Early voting has become widespread this election, with over 50 million Americans having done so. In key battleground states like Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, lines have stretched for hours, with voters waiting in sometimes inclement weather to cast their ballots. 

Poll workers have been accused of cutting lines and closing doors early, while the demand to get out and vote early has literally never been higher. 

The congestion is being attributed to several factors: increased voter enthusiasm, fears over mail-in voting validity, and perhaps most significantly, a reduction in polling locations in some areas due to budget cuts or legal challenges to election protocols. 

That said, many are drawing comparisons between such scenes and elections in less democratic nations.

HAPPENING NOW: Voters are waiting 6 *hours* in line to vote in Levittown, PA, a Republican stronghold, because of apparent staffing issues.

Voters who were interviewed say they can't come back on Tuesday due to work.

Tucker Claims To Have Been Physically Attacked By Demons

Tucker Carlson claimed in a recent viral video to have been left bloodied after encountering a demon when lying in his bed one night. In a clip posted on the ‘Christianities?’ YouTube channel and since shared on X, Carlson was asked if "the presence of evil is kickstarting people to wonder about the good.” He replied, "That’s what happened to me.” 

"I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs and mauled, physically mauled," he said,” … by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides.”

Carlson said that he still has scars from the attack, and that was what made him start reading the Bible.

When talking to The Christian Post about it further, Carlson reiterated, “"Ephesians 6 is real," referencing our battle "against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” He went on to say that the attack took place on Feb. 20, 2023, two months before he was fired from Fox News.

This is an incredible story of how @TuckerCarlson was attacked in his bed at night by demons.

The enemy used to hide behind scientism and secularism, but that is no longer the case. It is now open war.

If you don't yet follow Christ, now is the time.

Justin Welby Celebrates Diwali on Reformation Day

Archbishop Of Canterbury Justin Welby, head of the Church of England, decided to mark the October 31st celebration of the Reformation, the same day on which Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenburg church door, by celebrating with Protestant Christians (like those who attend the denomination he leads) everywhere. 

Oh no, wait, he decided to celebrate Diwali. The Hindu festival. 

His social media post on X stated “ A very happy Diwali to everyone celebrating today. I hope it’s a time of joy and togetherness as you mark this festival of light.

“May the light of Diwali bring hope, peace, and unity to your homes and to our communities, reminding us all of the power of light to overcome darkness.”

His adjoining video celebrating the social work done by Hindus, including a ‘Mandir’ (Hindu temple) in Leicester that did some spring cleaning, and described how such Mandir are a part of the ‘cement that holds our country together’.

No mention of the gospel was given, nor of the Christian faith in general, nor of Jesus Christ. 

One wonders if the Church Of England could do with a second Reformation. 

A very happy Diwali to everyone celebrating today. I hope it’s a time of joy and togetherness as you mark this festival of light.

May the light of Diwali bring hope, peace, and unity to your homes and to our communities, reminding us all of the power of light to overcome… pic.twitter.com/rjv4j7fmom
