Donald Trump’s bizarre closing message Friday to supporters in Michigan: Don’t pay your bills if you’re not satisfied with the job done. “I pay more than I’m supposed to when they can do a good job, but when they don’t do a good job, don’t pay your damn bill,” Trump said during a a meandering rally in which he also spoke of his “beautiful white skin” and wrongly claimed the U.S. is in a “recession.” The off-the-cuff comment about stiffing workers was declared to a packed arena just four days bef

Polling data expert Nate Silver slammed election forecasts showing a close race between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump across several states. Silver accused many pollsters of “herding” to ensure their predictions aren’t too far off from other predictions. “In fact, I kind of trust pollsters less, they all, every time a pollster [says] ‘Oh, every state is just +1, every single state’s a tie,’ No!

The United States said on Friday it will deploy B-52 bombers, fighter jets, refueling aircraft and Navy destroyers to the Middle East, in a readjustment of military assets as the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group prepares to leave the region. The Pentagon said in a statement that deployments would take place in the coming months and demonstrated the flexibility of the U.S. military movements around the world.

Conservative columnist Hugh Hewitt resigned from The Washington Post on Friday, shortly after exiting a stormy livestream debate.
