WORDS OF WISDOM "There's a land that is fairer than day, and by faith we can see it afar." SANFORD FILLMORE BENNETT Good morning! Today we're covering the overwhelming support for voter ID, the government failure to deter CCP infiltration, and the crisis among American boys. TOP NEWS State Early Voting Major Update Voter turnout on day one of what the state terms "in-person absentee voting" stood at… SHARE*     READ MORE > Yes on Photo ID The vast majority of American adults are in favor of requiring photo identification to cast a ballot and proof of citizenship when registering to vote. The poll, released on Oct. 24, found that 84 percent of American adults support voter ID measures, marking an increase from the 80 percent who expressed support for the measure ahead of the 2016 election, and the 79 percent who backed it during the 2022 midterm elections. Additionally, 83 percent of respondents in the latest poll said they support requiring proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for the first time. This year's poll marks Gallup's first attempt to measure public opinion on the citizenship requirement for voter registration, a particularly contentious issue in the current election cycle where illegal immigration has become a more prominent concern for voters. Besides border security being a key issue in this election cycle, some surveys indicate a lack of trust in election officials' efforts to prevent noncitizens from voting.

The lawmakers call for a "whole-of-government approach" to thwart the adversary. After surveying 25 federal agencies, "what we found was there is no plan," committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told NTD, a sister outlet of The Epoch Times. "Not only that, there's not even a process in place to educate the government employees and the heads of each division and each cabinet exactly what to look for and how to know when China is behaving badly." Citing examples in some agencies, the report said the government has relied on China to buy U.S. Treasury bills, failed to adequately monitor the CCP's takeover of American farmland near U.S. military bases, failed to inform and educate Americans of the risks associated with Chinese products, and is not studying, addressing, or warning the public about the CCP's "elite capture" strategy targeting state and local governments and business leaders. Continue reading… Boys in Crisis Boys in America are nearly 4 times more likely to commit suicide than girls, up to three times more likely to die from an overdose, 14 times more likely to end up in jail, and half as likely to go to university. There's a crisis among boys, and the biggest driver is the rise in single-parent families without a father, says Warren Farrell, co-author of "The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It." The number of fatherless homes has sharply risen in the last century. Compared to girls, boys have been shown to suffer significantly more without a father figure in their lives, Farrell says in an interview with our colleague Jan Jekielek on American Thought Leaders. In particular, boys who grow up without fathers often do not learn delayed gratification—the single biggest predictor of success in life.
