If a red-state firewall is going to save the Republican Senate majority, the polls aren’t showing it yet, just four days out from Tuesday’s midterm elections. The RealClearPolitics polling averages showed Democrats leading in six of eight toss-up Senate races as of Thursday night. The Republicans lead by 2.7 percentage points in South Carolina, which […]
CINCINNATI — Vice President JD Vance hopes his native ties to Ohio can help save Republican candidates in the state’s most competitive races. During a three-stop Oct. 21 swing through the Buckeye State, including a surprise, private drop-in to a Cincinnati Bengals practice session, Vance forcefully defended Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy. Two weeks before […]
Alaska Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola’s campaign could face demands for records revealing who financed an effort to recruit a second Dan Sullivan to enter the race as the Justice Department seeks discovery in its Alaska election lawsuit — and now accuses her campaign committee and national Democrats of misleading the court about the operation. […]

A court fight over Democrats’ alleged attempt to siphon votes away from Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) could be just the start of Republicans’ plans to contest the Alaska election results. Alaska’s GOP-run elections office could refuse to certify the race, in effect putting the outcome in limbo if Mary Peltola, Sullivan’s Democratic opponent, is declared […]
Bliss was it in the late 1970s to be alive, as Wordsworth almost said, but to be a domestic terrorist was very heaven. Just ask Indianapolis’s Tony Kiritsis, who, in February of 1977, parlayed an ideological kidnapping into an unlikely turn as a folk hero. Children may wonder how America came to include millions who […]
We are, evidently, in Oscar season — the insufferable period that, admittedly, produces a reliable number of above-average movies but also elicits a stream of sanctimonious blather from movie stars. Too often, they speak of their work with self-regarding reverence and, if handed a gold statuette in a few months, will deem themselves qualified to […]

The character cheerfully insisted that Scotch whisky, the Garden of Eden, and most other worthwhile inventions had originated in his homeland. Walter Koenig, who died Oct. 25 at 90, […]
