Breitbart: Exit Polls Suggest Poor Black Turnout for Kamala Harris
Exit polls indicate a decline in support for Kamala Harris among Black men, attributed to her pro-migration policies. In Pennsylvania, Black male voter turnout dropped to 3%, impacting overall Democratic support, as Black voters were crucial for Biden in 2020.
The reduced turnout could significantly influence the upcoming election, particularly in swing states like Pennsylvania. Nationally, the demographic shifts show an increase in White voter turnout and a decrease in Black and Hispanic participation, raising concerns for the Democratic Party.

Front Page Magazine: America Wants Israel to Be Able to Defend Itself
U.S. foreign policy has historically supported Israel's defense while preventing it from achieving overwhelming victories. This approach aims to maintain regional stability and U.S. influence, as seen during the Yom Kippur War when Kissinger intervened to protect Egypt’s Third Army.
Currently, the U.S. allows Israel to defend itself but does not endorse complete military success against groups like Hamas or Hezbollah. This dynamic creates a cycle where Israel is constrained from decisively defeating adversaries, potentially prolonging conflicts without resolution.
