HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today is the best holiday and the second greatest day of the year behind baseball's Opening Day. I take Halloween seriously and cannot remember a year I didn't dress up. This year, I'm Wendy from the great cartoon Gravity Falls. Since I'm a self-professed Halloween expert, I want to share with you which movies you should watch today, the best Halloween candy, and some of the best costumes I find on social media.

Only days after a Trump hater massacred dozens of Jews, leftist company Ben & Jerry's has decided to announce they teamed up with the Women's March to promote a resistance themed ice cream flavor. You know, the group led by notorious anti-Semitic Linda Sarsour and others who continue to praise and adore anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan. Ben & Jerry's told the Independent Journal Review they're "comfortable" partnering with the Women's March despite their ties to Louis Farrakhan.

The youth vote may determine the Democrat Party's destiny, which may not be as majestic as the party hopes. New York Magazine published interviews with 12 young people explaining why they probably won't vote in these midterms. I've seen articles spouting youth enthusiasm for Democrats, but the magazine claimed that "only a third of people ages 18 to 29 say" they plan on casting ballots for the midterms. A few reasons? The big blow failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took in November 2016. Another feels "like the Democratic Party doesn't really stand for the things" he believes in. One person gets anxious when he has to mail anything.

Project Veritas has released a few undercover videos to show us what Democrat candidates really think and how they lie in order to receive votes from moderates or Republicans. Arizona Democrat Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema became the latest target. An undercover Project Veritas journalist caught staff members saying that Sinema has to appear moderate, which means no talking about gun bans. When the journalist mentions that, Sinema says, "They'll actually shoot you."

Reports have come out today that the military will deploy 5,000 troops to the border. Initial reports last week stated that Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis planned to send only 800. A Pentagon spokesperson said the situation remains fluid and the number of troops could change.

Can everyone CALM DOWN? Those who work and volunteer at the Volusia County's Republican Party headquarters, located in Florida, discovered their office vandalized. Vandals shot out the windows and people discovered four bullet holes inside the office.

Jair Bolsonaro, known as the "Trump of Brazil," has won the presidency in the runoff against former Sao Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad with 55.1% of the vote. The ex-army captain has portrayed himself as an outsider, even though he spent 27 years in Congress.

Reports came out late Thursday night that President Donald Trump has been considering using executive action to stop the migrant caravan that is headed to our border. From Politico:
Under the plan, the Trump administration would publish fast-track regulation that would restrict certain migrants' ability to seek asylum. The regulation would be paired with a related proclamation from President Donald Trump.

Oh joy. Chelsea Clinton said in an interview that she wouldn't rule out a potential run for political office. From The Journal News/lohud:
"I think if someone were to step down or retire and I thought I could do a good job and it matched my talents, I’d have to think if it’s the right choice for me," Clinton said in an interview ahead of her upcoming book appearance in Eastchester.

As the media and the left goes on and on about hateful rhetoric from President Donald Trump after numerous someone sent Democrat foes bombs, they seem to have forgotten that their rhetoric doesn't help either. You know, like this fantasy story at The New York Times that depicts the assassination of Trump by a Russian agent with the help of the Secret Service.
