Tweet of the dayđą: â500 Million Europeans, expect that 300 Million Americans protect them against 120 Million Russians who canât even defeat 40 Million Ukrainians while, they donât realize, that they are being invaded by 2000 million Muslims who claim to be persecuted by 9 million Israelis!â @NunoBarradas10
Something to Feel Good Aboutđ
đMaybe, just maybe, the nastiness of this election will teach politicians a much-needed lesson
You will get caught, and the dirty tricks backfire
Mary Peltola recruiting the other Dan Sullivan: Totally blew up in Peltolaâs face.
Ramaswamyâs ad featuring his opponentâs estranged mother: Totally blew up in Vivekâs face.
Trump gerrymandering everywhere: Totally blowing up in GOPâs face.
The Jew-hating, Abdul El-Sayed ad is now focusing voters on his true beliefs
Live by the law, die by the lawâźď¸: Mary Peltola had the arrogance to say those that lie to the electorate should be in jail
How will she look in orange? Or better yet, just unemployed?
Criminalizing politics wonât end well for either side â the very fact that dirty tricks are exposed and clearly hurting the candidates is the best thing.
Look backđ: We told you four years ago, creative and selective prosecutions against Trump would backfire.
Irony alertđ¨: The party that promised to protect us from Trump subverting democracy is subverting democracy.
Will the parties and politicians get the message that voters hate dirty tricks â probably notâŚbut we can hope.

5 daysđ : Once people start cursing, you know they are losing â just listen to South Carolina Republican Senate candidate Darline Graham:
âMy radical liberal opponent is batsh*t crazy.â
DDHQ has Graham in a 50/50 toss-up against Democrat Annie Andrews.
Look backđ: Trump won S.C. by over 17% points in 2024.
We all know thereâs nothing more important to Trump than his legacy â
If Graham in South Carolina, Paxton in Texas and Ramaswamy in Ohio all lose, Trump is going to have nobody else to blame besides himself.
Tonightđş: Former Trump White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on whether Trump really has the power to save these candidates and his legacy.
Plus, Trump just canceled his rally in Kansas where Democrat Adam Hamilton is up â what does this show?
The Identity Politics Trapâźď¸
đIt looks like the Ilhan Omar conspiracy theory of her marrying her brother is becoming more and more true
đ°The New York Times headlines, âIlhan Omar Investigation Involves New Scrutiny of Long-Disputed Marriage,â writing:
âSeveral current and former law enforcement officials said an Obama-era investigation found some evidence that Ms. Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brother.â
Yet, 175 Democrats are working to stop the investigation as it could hurt her reelection bid
âCongresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesotaâs 5th congressional district in just one week. News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect votersâ decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots,â says a letter to the DHS
đ¤ŚFor Democrats â if you donât like a policy, then they call you a bigot.
If you talk about the Somali fraud in Minneapolis, youâre Islamophobic
If you go after Ilhan Omar for allegedly marrying her brother, youâre Islamophobic
If you talk about Abdul El-Sayedâs ties and what he has said, youâre Islamophobic
đŹBut the problem Democrats are running into is that these cases are very real:
JD Vance is going to Minneapolis tomorrow ahead of a major fraud announcement
Omar marrying her brother in an immigration fraud case appears to be true.
El-Sayedâs ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are more and more significant
The Left calling you a bigot if you didnât like a policy â thatâs not working anymore. Yet, they are falling into the same trap over and over again.
Look backđ: It didnât work when they said it was transphobic if you didnât like boys in girls sports
Nowâźď¸: If you donât like jihadi apologists in the U.S. Senate, you are racist.
Tonightđş: Former senior adviser to the Kamala Harris campaign Mike Nellis and White House correspondent for Semafor Shelby Talcott.
AI Doomsdayđ¨
đĽď¸Washington has moved on from AI â but AI has not moved on from us.
Nate Soares, a top AI safety researcher and one of our best guests on AI, now says he has stopped saving for retirement because we are all going to die
Soares: âI do not save for retirement right now. I have a 401(k) from when I worked at Google, but I havenât contributed for a decadeâŚI do everything I can to stop this eventuality.â
Must watchđą: âHow AI Could End Humanity â and What We Should Do to Stop Itâ
What happened to all the warnings, promises and oversights on AI from the last few months?

The New Cold War?â ď¸
âźď¸The world is in a Cold War arms race all over again.
Proofâď¸: The New York Times reports, âNvidia Chief Seen as Target of Chinese Spy Plotâ
âThe revelation that she was feeding information directly to Beijing raised more troubling possibilities, including that Ms. Huang had insights into Mr. Trumpâs thinking on an issue of vital importance to both nations, one likely to come up when the president visits China next month.â
Nvidia is now equivalent to Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin combined.
The U.S. military caught new photos of Chinaâs most secretive space plane orbiting around Earth.
The plane has previously been caught reportedly releasing mysterious objects
Thereâs been a cyberattack on freezers at U.S. commissaries on military bases.
Earlier this week, we were told U.S. military bases should be prepared to last 90 days with no outside power or food.
Tonightđş: Gordon Chang on why America refuses to look at the fight the way China does.
I just want you to know, Leland, that Iâve been following your career since you worked at Fox News and then when you moved to News Nation. Leland, I, Dawn, have been following your career as my most trusted independent journalist for 24 years. Dawn Marie
Leland is new to me, as is News Nation. I've never really listened to, or opined on, the political news and goings on in our country. My bad! I was still working, but that all changed when I retired a year and a half ago. In fact, if I caught the news, it was on the local Fox Station as I was getting ready to work. My husband watched every morning. Not sure how I discovered NN, but now he's watching too. And in the beginning, I watched the whole day's programming. That's how I became a fan of everyone's shows. But especially On Balance. That lead to War Notes. That lead to Substack, and now I follow a few folks..
._All that being said, I am on the edge of my seat this week as we hit Nov 3. On Balance and your Substacks, distill what is on the earlier NN shows, into an intellectual vision of where we are in the Planet.
._Thank you!.
