Fox News: Early in-person voting kicks off in West Virginia
West Virginia begins early in-person voting on Wednesday, 13 days before Election Day, covering the presidential race and down-ballot contests. The state’s Senate seat, previously held by Joe Manchin, is crucial for Republicans aiming for a majority.

The Federalist: There Is No Good Reason To Not Expect Results On Election Night
Election officials in key swing states are indicating delays in reporting results for the upcoming election, with some suggesting results may not be available until days after Election Day. This shift follows the trend seen during the 2020 election and raises concerns about electoral transparency.
Critics argue that these delays, often attributed to mail-in ballots, undermine public confidence in the electoral process. They emphasize that historically, results have been available on Election Night, and the current situation may lead to increased distrust among voters.

GB News: Ancient 835-year-old fair AXED for the first time in history over 'onerous' health and safety rules
The St Edmund's Day Fair in Petworth, West Sussex, has been cancelled for the first time since its inception in 1189 due to funding and volunteer shortages. Organizers cite rising costs and strict insurance requirements as key challenges, with only four committee members managing last year's event.

Le Monde: The new era of hacktivism
Hacktivism, a resurgence of online activism popularized by groups like Anonymous, is gaining traction, with various factions claiming responsibility for cyberattacks. Recent incidents include the Stucx Team's defacement of French websites in support of Telegram's CEO, highlighting the fragmented nature of these movements.
Many of these groups engage in simple tactics such as DDoS attacks and website defacements, often lacking sophistication. Their activities raise questions about the influence of state actors and the motivations behind this new wave of cyber activism.

GB News: Labour's pension shake-up could see UK markets in financial turmoil
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that Labour's plan to invest UK pension savings in riskier, less liquid assets could destabilize financial markets. A sudden rush of withdrawals from nervous savers might trigger a chain reaction reminiscent of past financial crises.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves' strategy to consolidate pension schemes into larger pools for high-growth investments raises concerns about liquidity mismatches. If many investors withdraw funds simultaneously, it could overwhelm the system and lead to a potential market collapse.
Fox News: Liberal media outlet inadvertently explains benefits of Trump's economic plan
The MSNBC piece contrasts Trump's macroeconomic focus with Harris's microeconomic policies, suggesting Harris lacks a comprehensive economic plan. Critics argue her targeted initiatives are mere political gimmicks in response to economic challenges under the Biden administration.
Trump's strategy emphasizes broad economic growth through tax cuts and deregulation, while Harris's approach appears reactive and limited. The piece highlights the need for a coherent economic strategy as voters seek solutions to inflation and wage stagnation.

Times Of Israel: 3 drones downed while targeting Eilat, Golan; Iran-backed group in Iraq claims attacks
The Israel Defense Forces intercepted three drones from Iraq, attributed to an Iranian-backed militia. Two drones were headed for Eilat, and one was intercepted over Syria, with the militia claiming they targeted "vital" locations.
Additionally, a drone launched from Lebanon was shot down over Ramot Naftali. Recent drone attacks from these groups have resulted in casualties, including the death of two Israeli soldiers earlier this month.
Fox News: US Navy: Projecting strength and building the fleet of tomorrow
The U.S. Navy's budget is insufficient to address growing maritime threats, particularly from China. President Biden's proposed FY2025 budget fails to enhance naval capabilities, risking national security as China expands its naval power rapidly.
To counter these threats, significant investments in shipbuilding and modernization are essential. A comprehensive funding approach, including a "Fleet Investment Fund," is necessary to maintain U.S. naval superiority and ensure readiness for potential conflicts.

GB News: Golf stars revolt against trans player as hundreds demand removal - 'No way to turn a male into female'
Hundreds of female golfers have protested the participation of transgender player Hailey Davidson in the LPGA Tour's qualifying competition, citing concerns over fairness and potential advantages. A letter signed by 275 players calls for a separate category for female athletes to ensure equal opportunities.
Davidson, who has undergone gender reassignment surgery, is currently eligible to compete under LPGA rules. Critics argue that anatomical differences between sexes create an inherent advantage for male-born athletes, impacting the integrity of women's golf.
