I remember a few days ago it was all about the Democrats voting early in the midterms and boy they were going to bring a blue wave. I hate to disappoint the left, but Republicans have shown just as much energy as they have outperformed Democrats in early voting except in Nevada. Republicans shouldn't get ahead of themselves since Cook Political Report changed the rating of 10 House races this morning, including eight to favor the Democrats.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that drug overdose deaths surpassed 72,000 in 2017, representing an increase of more than 6,000 deaths over the estimate projected from the data for the previous 12-month period. Fentanyl overdoses contributed significantly to this grim, new statistic.
That staggering sum works out to about 200 drug overdose deaths every single day, or one every eight minutes.

Were almost a solid two years into Trumps presidency and a good chunk of the population is still in denial. And so is Hillary Clinton, apparently. After Eric Garner's mom was introduced to a very small gathering, Hillary was introduced. Someone shouted, "The Real President!" Hillary didn't correct or dispute the claim.

The Daily Caller has reported that Univision correspondent Santa Anna, a reporter traveling with the migrant caravan that's moving into Mexico from Guatemala, noticed people from Bangladesh within the massive crowd of migrants:
“Yesterday when we were traveling through Guatemala, we noticed people from El Salvador and even people from Bangladesh,” he continued. “Can you imagine what they had to do to get here? They infiltrated themselves in this caravan and tried to cross with the crowd. That would have benefited them greatly.”
Bangladesh remains a hot spot for ISIS and other terrorist groups.

The migrant caravan from Central America continues their march to the US border despite threats from President Donald Trump with publications estimating between 5,000 and 7,000 people. As they made their way over the Suchiate River, which connects Guatemala and Mexico, the head of the local government's emergency services Gerardo Hernandez said, "You can't even walk, there's just so many people."
