During a recent episode of his podcast, Donald Trump, Jr. suggested that the most recent man that attempted to harm his father, Donald Trump, could end up having a situation in prison like Jeffrey Epstein. But by making this claim, Junior reminded everyone that it was HIS father and his father's Department of Justice that oversaw the prisons when Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell. In other words, he made a shockingly weird and unintentional claim about what may have happened.

Also, during a low energy speech in Washington, D.C. this week, Donald Trump veered off into a dangerously anti-semitic rant where he not only said that Jewish people would be to blame if he lost, but then said that any Jewish person who votes for Kamala Harris needs to have their head examined. The man is attacking an entire religion and far too many people - including the media - are acting like this is not a big deal.

And Republican Senator Ted Cruz has been struggling to maintain a lead against his Democratic challenger Colin Allred, and now a new Morning Consult poll shows that the tiny lead has evaporated, and Allred is now in the lead. This is just one poll, but it confirms that this race is going to be much closer than originally anticipated, and it could signal a big shift in the political makeup of this country.

Finally, Donald Trump's campaign and his allies are busy filing lawsuits in swing states across the country, alleging that illegal residents are voting (even before voting begins.) These lawsuits have no chance of prevailing, and even if they did, they legally couldn't result in changes to voting systems before the election. What Trump is actually doing is trying to create doubt about our electoral process before the election so that he can claim fraud when he loses.
