State legislative elections key to redistricting power
Up the road is the Harris County GOP headquarters. Roughly in between is Trini Mendenhall Community Center, where Patterson cast her ballot this month — for all Democratic candidates. “Republicans, Republicans, Republicans,” said Patterson, 63, recalling the only political yard signs she used to see in the neighborhood.

AP Explains: Why France incites such anger in Muslim world
Many countries, especially in the democratic West, champion freedom of expression and allow publications that lampoon Islam’s prophet. Its brutal colonial past, staunch secular policies and tough-talking president who is seen as insensitive toward the Muslim faith all play a role. As France steps up security and mourns three people killed in a knife attack at a church on Thursday – the latest of many attributed to Islamic extremists in recent years -- here’s a look at some of the reasons the country is under fire.

Minority US contract tracers build trust in diverse cities
When a contact tracer called the Iraqi woman to say her 18-year-old daughter tested positive for the coronavirus and could quarantine for free in a hotel, the woman panicked — recalling the family's terror of risking separation forever during their flight from Baghdad after a bomb killed her brother. The contact tracer, Iraqi immigrant Ethar Kakoz, had made a similar harrowing journey using smugglers to get out of Iraq after her parents were told she could be kidnapped. Kakoz is among a growing legion of ethnically and racially diverse contact tracers hired by local health departments to help immigrants, refugees and minorities protect themselves during a pandemic that has disproportionately affected people of color.

Trump Is Said to Set Aside Career Intelligence Briefer to Hear From Advisers Instead
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump has dispensed with intelligence briefings from a career analyst in favor of updates from political appointees including John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence and a longtime partisan defender of his, in the closing weeks of an election targeted by intensifying foreign interference, according to interviews.While the president has long distrusted the intelligence community and displayed frustration with head of the CIA and antipathy toward the FBI director, Ratcliffe has served as a more supportive figure. He secured influence by delivering on the president's political agenda, chiefly by declassifying documents related to the Russia investigation.Critics have attacked Ratcliffe's embrace of Trump, saying Ratcliffe cannot be trusted to deliver unvarnished facts in this highly polarized election and is focused on politics in what is supposed to be an apolitical role. Ratcliffe, who took the job in May, has shown little interest in the workforce or making sure the intelligence community's budget is being properly allocated, former officials said.Cliff Sims, a senior adviser to Ratcliffe, said the director had "kept his commitment to keep politics out of intelligence." Administration officials said there was no evidence that Ratcliffe was slanting intelligence or withholding information from the president.Trump has not had a briefing led by his designated briefer, veteran intelligence officer Beth Sanner, in more than a month, people familiar with the matter said. The last formal intelligence briefing led by Sanner was scheduled for Oct. 2, though administration officials said it was canceled after the president disclosed early that morning that he had tested positive for the coronavirus.Instead, Trump has relied on Ratcliffe to brief him two or three times a week, including one delivered Thursday, the people said. He supplements those meetings with informal briefings from Robert C. O'Brien, the national security adviser; Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff; and others.The shift toward briefings conducted by Ratcliffe reflects Trump's busy campaign schedule and an effort to reduce the number of people around him as he was sick with COVID-19, according to two administration officials. They also said the president was getting the information he needed, pointing to his fielding of questions about the state of the cease-fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan.Early in Trump's presidency, aides shrunk the size of traditional intelligence briefings to prevent leaks, officials have said.Ronald Reagan was the last president not to regularly hear from his designated intelligence briefer. Trump is also the first president to rely primarily on the director of national intelligence to deliver his intelligence since the position was created in 2004."The president is doing something highly unusual, at least for the last 15 years," said David Priess, a former CIA officer and the author of "The President's Book of Secrets," a book about intelligence briefings.Directors of national intelligence have typically provided "color commentary" about the intelligence presented by the president's designated briefer, said Chris Whipple, author of "The Spymasters," a history of relations between the White House and the intelligence chiefs. Given Ratcliffe's history, Whipple warned, the director may be telling Trump only "what he wants to hear."Ratcliffe's displays of loyalty extended to public appearances, as well; he has appeared on Fox News defending Trump. And ahead of a nationally televised news conference last week where Ratcliffe and other officials revealed Iranian and Russian attempts to influence the election, he altered comments prepared for him to read from, according to two officials.Ratcliffe deleted a reference to the Proud Boys, the far-right group whom Iranian hackers pretended to be when sending spoofed emails to voters, and added the fact that Iran's effort was intended to hurt Trump's reelection campaign. The changes, which Politico reported earlier, did not alter the accuracy of the comments, intelligence officials said. But they made the remarks more palatable to Trump, who often bristles at discussions of election interference.Sims said Ratcliffe's influence was good for the intelligence community."Their unique insights are reaching the highest levels and informing policy decisions," Sims said.Trump's animosity toward the intelligence community dates to its early 2017 assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and developed a preference for his candidacy.But there is evidence that the president's unease with Christopher A. Wray, the FBI director, and Gina Haspel, the CIA director, is growing.Trump displayed his unhappiness with Wray on Twitter after Wray testified on Capitol Hill in recent weeks about two well-documented issues, Russia's election interference and far-right violent extremism, that the president has sought to de-emphasize.The president does not even like to hear about the FBI during intelligence briefings, people familiar with them said. Trump has told aides that Wray has actively undermined him and that he intends to fire him after the election, said people familiar with Trump's thinking. The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., said recently that if his father won reelection, he has "to break up the highest level of the FBI."The White House did not respond to a request for comment about Trump's plans to dismiss Wray. The FBI declined to comment, but a senior bureau official pointed to a recent letter from associations representing current and former FBI agents backing Wray.Trump has also grown weary of Haspel, though aides are divided over whether he would oust her after the election."Director Haspel continues to proudly serve at CIA, and we'll leave the election season speculation to others," said Timothy Barrett, the agency's spokesman.Trump has privately expressed frustration for what he sees as a failure by Haspel to adopt his priorities, namely her opposition to Ratcliffe declassifying documents about the Russia investigation and related matters. While Haspel was said to express concern that their release would reveal the CIA's sources of information and methods of intelligence gathering -- among the agency's most closely held secrets -- Trump's allies saw the material as important political fodder for his reelection campaign.Last year, when O'Brien took over as national security adviser, Haspel was meeting with the president two or three times a week, according to a senior official. But when Richard Grenell, a close political ally of Trump's, took over as acting director of national intelligence in February, Haspel's attendance at White House briefings grew more infrequent, and it has tapered off further since Ratcliffe took up the post, according to current and former officials.Haspel's decreased trips to the White House are at least in part because of the pandemic and also a reflection of the fact that Ratcliffe has the lead on election interference, the most urgent national security issue of the moment, according to people familiar with the matter.Haspel has also avoided the spotlight and Washington power battles, allowing Ratcliffe to emerge as the more influential figure in the latest iteration of turf battles between CIA directors and directors of national intelligence."Trump clearly has a level of comfort with Ratcliffe," Priess said. "Ratcliffe is seen not just as the director of national intelligence; he is seen first and foremost as a political ally and someone who is on the president's team."This article originally appeared in The New York Times.(C) 2020 The New York Times Company

Mystery surrounds former Marine's imprisonment in Venezuela
MEDELLIN, Colombia (AP) — “Don’t WORRY!,” reads the cryptic note scribbled on a scrap of perforated paper smuggled out of a dank, basement cellblock. The weeks-old message is all the family of Matthew Heath has to pin its hopes on since the former U.S. Marine corporal was arrested at a roadblock in Venezuela almost two months ago and accused by President Nicolás Maduro of being a terrorist and spying for Donald Trump. Nobody in the family or Trump administration has spoken to Heath.

Sudan says deal with US blocks further compensation claims
Sudan says it has signed an agreement with the U.S. that could effectively stop any future compensation claims being filed against the African country in U.S. courts, following Washington's decision to remove the country from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. The deal restores in U.S. courts what is known as sovereign immunity to the Sudanese government, and comes after a year of negotiations between the Trump administration and Sudan's new leadership, the Sudanese Justice Ministry said. A transitional government led by a mix of military and civilian figures currently rules Sudan, after the overthrow of former leader Omar al-Bashir in April 2019 led to the country seeking better ties with the U.S.

After year of disruption, America set to choose a path ahead
After a year of deep disruption, America is poised for a presidential election that renders a verdict on the nation's role in the world and the direction of its economy, on its willingness to contain an escalating pandemic and its ability to confront systemic racial inequity. The choice before voters is a referendum on the role of the presidency itself and a test of the sturdiness of democracy, with the president challenging the legitimacy of the outcome even before Election Day and law enforcement agencies braced for the possibility of civil unrest. Voters appear to recognize the moment: More than 86 million people have already cast ballots, shattering records for early voting.

Iraq clears sit-in square, a year after mass protests began
Iraqi security forces on Saturday cleared out sit-in tents from the capital's central square that has been the epicenter of the anti-government protest movement, a year after the eruption of demonstrations against corruption led to months of clashes with authorities across Iraq. More than 500 people were killed during the months-long protest movement, many of them demonstrators shot by Iraqi security forces. Iraqi authorities also reopened the nearby Jumhuriyah bridge, which leads toward the heavily fortified Green Zone housing government buildings and foreign embassies.

Biden looks to restore, expand Obama administration policies
Joe Biden is promising to take the country on a very different path from what it has seen over the past four years under President Donald Trump, on issues ranging from the coronavirus and health care to the environment, education and more. The Democratic presidential nominee is promising to reverse Trump policy moves on things such as withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement and weakening protections against environmental pollution. While Trump wants to kill the Affordable Care Act, Biden is proposing to expand “Obamacare” by adding a public option to cover more Americans.

Canada border officer says giving police Meng Wanzhou's device passwords was 'embarrassing, heart-wrenching' blunder
A Canadian border officer who dealt with Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver's airport in the hours before her arrest said he made an "embarrassing" and "heart-wrenching" mistake, when his handwritten note with the passwords of Meng's electronic devices ended up in police hands, breaching privacy laws.Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer Scott Kirkland denied that he deliberately obtained the passwords on behalf of police, depicting the handover instead as a blunder he only realised he had made a few days later.But Meng's lawyers say it was part of a covert plot by the CBSA and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), to gather evidence for the American FBI.Get the latest insights and analysis from our Global Impact newsletter on the big stories originating in China.Kirkland came under intense cross-examination on Friday from the Huawei executive's lawyer Mona Duckett, as she attempted to prove Meng's rights were violated in the border process.Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, leaves her home to attend court on Thursday. Photo: Bloomberg alt=Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, leaves her home to attend court on Thursday. Photo: BloombergThey want Meng's extradition case in the Supreme Court of British Columbia thrown out as a result. The US wants Meng sent to New York to face trial on fraud charges, which are denied by Meng, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies.Meng, 48, was arrested at Vancouver's airport on December 1, 2018, more than three hours after arriving on a flight from Hong Kong.Kirkland had previously testified that he worried that delaying Meng's arrest would be challenged in court, and he suggested that she be arrested by the RCMP immediately after she got off the plane.Instead, he and colleagues conducted a border examination during which they questioned her about Huawei's activities in Iran and seized her devices and passwords.Duckett called Kirkland's note with the passcodes, provided by Meng, the keys to "a private box with a wealth of personal information" on her."This piece of paper is instructions for police, isn't it?" said Duckett.Canada Border Services Agency officer Scott Kirkland questions Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver's airport on December 1, 2018.

Photo: Supreme Court of British Columbia exhibitKirkland denied this, maintaining that the passwords were only obtained for the purposes of his immigration exam. But the note was placed on a stack with Meng's devices, which were handed over to the RCMP when they arrested her.Providing the passwords to police was a breach of the Privacy Act, Kirkland previously agreed.He described a postmortem of the border inspection, conducted with CBSA colleagues the next week, when he said he realised he had made a mistake."It was an embarrassing moment for me, in that meeting. I, as I am right now, was embarrassed ... it was heart-wrenching to realise I had made that mistake," said Kirkland.Meng's treatment has infuriated Beijing, sending China's relations with Canada and the US into a downward spiral.Beijing subsequently arrested Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, accusing them of spying. In Canada, their situation is widely seen as hostage-taking.Meng is under partial house arrest in Vancouver, living in one of her two homes in the city. Her extradition proceedings are expected to last well into next year, but appeals could drag out the process much longer.This article originally appeared in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the most authoritative voice reporting on China and Asia for more than a century.

Billionaire casino boss Sheldon Adelson splashes the cash in bid to help Trump
The magnate, 87, is expected to have spent 0m this election cycle to support conservative causes, fundraisers sayThe casino billionaire and ardent Israel backer Sheldon Adelson is expected to have written about 0m in checks to back Donald Trump, Republican Senate and House members and conservative causes, say two GOP fundraising sources familiar with the mega-donor’s spending plans.Adelson and his wife Miriam, an Israeli-born physician, have already spent a single election record sum of 3m through 14 October, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics.Since late summer, when Adelson began bankrolling a new pro-Trump Super Pac, dubbed Preserve America, the 87-year-old Adelson and his wife have poured m into its coffers, making them its leading financiers.To date, Preserve America, has raised .8m, and has been running ads attacking Democrat Joe Biden as “too weak to lead America”.Adelson – who sources say talks to Trump periodically – and his wife have developed close ties with Trump largely based on their similar views on pro-Israel and hawkish Middle East policies.The Trump administration pleased Adelson and other conservatives by moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and Trump officials adopted a hardline stance against Iran by scrapping the Obama administration’s nuclear accord with Tehran, and recently wooed the UAE and other nations to recognize Israel.Sheldon and Miriam Adelson have also donated m to a Super Pac called the Senate Leadership Fund, which is run by close allies of Mitch McConnell and to date has raised over 8m to keep the Chamber in GOP hands.Adelson, whose net worth is pegged at almost bn by Forbes, has long been the top bankroller of the Republican Jewish Coalition, a conservative pro-Israel lobbying group whose board he sits on.The RJC is on track to spend a record m to help woo Jewish voters in several battleground states including Florida and Pennsylvania, where the group hopes its ads and get-out-the-vote work can help Trump pull off wins again, as he did in 2016.Further, Adelson has written big checks for some Super Pacs backing Senate allies facing tough races, including South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch Israel backer. The couple have donated m to the pro-Graham pac Security is Strength.The Adelsons have also kicked in m to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Super Pac that backs House GOP candidates; the Pac’s fundraising depends heavily on ex-senator Norm Coleman, who is known for his close Adelson ties.In 2018, the Adelsons spent 4m overall to Super Pacs, campaign committees and candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).The Adelsons typically donate much of their money late in election cycles, and historically give a mix of publicly disclosed checks, and others to dark money outfits which remain secret.The two sources who indicated Adelson’s total spending would reach 0m didn’t identify where the additional tens of millions of dollars were going, or if these funds have already been donated to non-profit dark money groups which don’t require public disclosure.Adelson’s late donation spree this year has come as Trump continues to lag behind Biden in national and most battleground state polls, and as Biden’s campaign fundraising has outpaced Trump’s in recent months.This election cycle, the second biggest donor behind the Adelsons has been New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who has spent 7m, much of it on ads in Florida to help Biden, CRP data shows.Adelson’s huge donations have occurred even as his casino empire, which stretches from Las Vegas to Asia, has seen its revenues drop significantly this year because of the pandemic. As Bloomberg first reported, Adelson has recently begun exploring the sale of his two Vegas casinos and an expo center – which could fetch bn – to focus on his Macau and Singapore casinos, which in recent years have yielded higher revenues.Trump has diligently courted both Adelson and his wife’s support since he took office. Early in 2020, Trump tapped Adelson to serve on a business council that is supposed to offer guidance on how to reopen the country, and in 2018 Trump gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom.In January, the Adelsons came to Washington for the White House’s formal announcement of Trump’s much-touted Middle East peace plan, which Trump called the “deal of the century” but which Palestinian leaders and most Arab countries dismissed as too favorable to Israel.Trump’s cultivation of the casino billionaire has also occurred in private get-togethers in Washington and in Las Vegas, where the Adelsons live.In May 2018, the day before Trump announced the US was going to pull out of Obama’s nuclear accord with Iran, Adelson came to Washington for a private meeting with Trump and top officials including Mike Pence and then national security adviser John Bolton, who had good ties with Adelson.But Trump’s drive to woo Adelson conflicts with his multiple campaign pledges to “drain the swamp” in Washington to curb big donor and lobbyist influence.“Somehow, promises to change the culture in Washington or ‘drain the swamp’ fade away when the usual mega-donors line up to throw millions at the election,” said Sheila Krumholz, who heads CRP. “It’s a seasonal amnesia.”

Nearly 3 months after vote, Belarus protests still go strong
Nearly three months after Belarus' authoritarian president's re-election to a sixth term in a vote widely seen as rigged, demonstrators keep swarming the streets of Belarusian cities to demand his resignation in the most massive and sustained wave of protests the ex-Soviet nation has ever seen. While President Alexander Lukashenko has relied on massive arrests and intimidation tactics to hold on to power, the continuing rallies have cast an unprecedented challenge to his 26-year rule. Authorities have responded to protests triggered by Aug. 9 election that gave Lukashenko a landslide victory over Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya by unleashing a violent post-election crackdown.

Tanzania, once envy of the region, watches democracy slide
Vote-counting was far from over when Tanzanian opposition leader Seif Sharif Hamad was frustrated enough to call people onto the streets. As thwarted observers alleged the most blatant election fraud in the country’s history, and with no way to challenge the results in court, there was little to do but protest. As they walked toward a roundabout in the semi-autonomous region of Zanzibar on Thursday, police fired tear gas, then arrested them — Hamad's second arrest in a week.

Analysis: 2020, and the American chorus' newly loud voices
An election is approaching unlike any in recent memory, guaranteed to be a signpost in the long tale of what America is becoming and how it gets there. This notion, emerging as 2020 unfolds in its own weird way, has one particularly notable trait: It accepts that while your United States and your neighbor's may in some ways overlap, and in other ways not at all, they're equally American nonetheless.

Death toll reaches 39 in quake that hit Turkey, Greek island
Three young children and their mother were rescued alive from the rubble of a collapsed building in western Turkey on Saturday, some 23 hours after a powerful earthquake in the Aegean Sea killed at least 39 people and injured more than 800 others. The Friday afternoon quake that struck Turkey’s Aegean coast and north of the Greek island of Samos registered a magnitude that Turkish authorities put at 6.6 while other seismology institutes said it measured 6.9. It toppled buildings in Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, and triggered a small tsunami in the Seferihisar district and on the Greek island.

The Associated Press, one of several news organizations whose declarations of winners drive election coverage, is pulling back the curtain this year to explain how it is reaching those conclusions. If necessary, top news executives will speak publicly in interviews about the process, said Sally Buzbee, senior vice president and executive editor. Given high interest in the presidential race, the complicating factor of strong early voting and President Donald Trump's warnings about potential fraud, television executives are making similar promises of transparency.

As early voting breaks records across the U.S., political analysts and campaigns are reviewing reams of data on the voters, looking for clues to key questions: Who is voting? Registered Democrats are outpacing registered Republicans significantly — by 14 percentage points — in states that are reporting voters' party affiliation, according to an Associated Press analysis of the early vote. Meanwhile, polls show Republicans have heeded President Donald Trump's baseless warnings about mail voting, and large numbers intend to vote on Election Day.

Biden, Obama make a final appeal to Michigan's Black voters
Joe Biden enters the final weekend of the presidential campaign with an intense focus on appealing to Black voters, whose support will be critical in his bid to defeat Donald Trump. The Democratic nominee was to team up Saturday with his former boss, Barack Obama, for a swing through Michigan. The memories of Trump's upset win in Michigan and the rest of the upper Midwest are still searing in the minds of many Democrats during this closing stretch.

Iran spreading election propaganda and targeting U.S. state voter rolls, officials say
The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency both issued advisories Friday warning that Iran is spreading propaganda and targeting U.S. state websites, including election sites, in “an intentional effort to influence and interfere with the 2020 U.S. presidential election.” The FBI sent a FLASH bulletin to various states, saying an Iranian group is “creating fictitious media sites and spoofing legitimate media sites to spread anti-American propaganda and misinformation about voter suppression.”

Trump’s Inner Circle Braces for Disaster
With just a few days left before Election Night and the president trailing in numerous state and national polls, Donald Trump’s inner circle is increasingly whispering the same thought: Our guy blew it.A forecast of a Biden White House is not one they welcome. But it’s one many of them have come to finally accept after a year of coronavirus deaths, economic devastation, and racial and civil unrest have throttled an administration run by a man they believe has failed to rise to the occasion, even on just a purely messaging front.“I believe the betting markets, which say there’s a 60 percent chance that Biden wins, and a 40 percent chance that Trump does,” Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who advises President Trump on economic and COVID-19-related matters, said in an interview Thursday.Explaining his pessimism, Moore cited several factors, including the still-rising cases of the virus in certain parts of the United States.Moore said he had hoped that the Gross Domestic Product report that came out on Thursday would have given the president’s campaign a boost. He even recalled visiting the White House last month, during which he told the president that the report was “going to be a real ‘October surprise,’” that he could “really play… up for the voters,” and that the two of them then brainstormed ways to aggressively promote the coming numbers.But shortly after the positive-looking report came out on Thursday—showing that the economy grew at a 33.1 percent annual rate last quarter—Moore found it hard to muster optimism about the political benefits of it. “I really don’t have a good feeling about this,” he conceded.Trump Said He’d Ban Foreign Lobbyist Fundraising. Now They’re Bankrolling His Campaign.Were Moore alone in his skepticism, it could be written off as the superstitious, cup-half-empty musings of an adviser who abjectly is terrified of a Biden presidency. But he’s not alone. Out of the 16 knowledgeable and well-positioned sources across Trumpworld—campaign aides, Republican donors, senior administration officials, and close associates of the president and his family—whom The Daily Beast interviewed for this story in the week leading up to Election Day 2020, only five gave Trump comfortable odds at winning. Doug Deason, a high-dollar Trump donor from Dallas, pegged Trump’s odds at “75 percent or better,” for instance.Six others were confident, to varying degrees, that President Trump would be relegated to one-termer status. The remaining five gave him roughly 50/50 odds. Of those five, two—a White House official and a friend of the president’s—started sounding increasingly pessimistic as the conversation went on.Dan Eberhart, chief executive at Canary and another major Trump donor who contributed 0,000 to Trump Victory this cycle, told The Daily Beast on Thursday evening that if he could go back in time, he wouldn’t have given a dime of that to the joint fundraising committee for the president’s re-election.“I think Trump has a 25 percent chance of winning the election. His campaign focused on exciting his base not on pursuing people in the center. COVID was a massive headwind that minimized the roaring Trump economy,” Eberhart said. “The president has struggled to maintain message discipline. And the left is highly motivated to vote, as seen by the record turnout so far. That’s not to say there’s not a window for the president to win. It’s just being realistic that he’s the underdog in this contest.”The businessman continued. “If I could redo my donations this cycle, I would put it all on red again,” he said. “Honestly, I would have put all my donations towards holding the Senate. I never thought the Senate would be in play.”Trump Taps Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow to Oversee Post-Election Legal BattlesEberhart doesn’t appear to be the only Trump donor with a bit of buyer’s remorse. According to data provided by the Center for Responsive Politics, of the more than 1,100 individuals who gave the ,400 legal maximum to Trump’s 2016 campaign (or who exceeded the maximum and had to be issued refunds), about 450 of them have not donated a penny to the president’s re-election campaign this cycle.The president has far more donors this cycle of every donation range, including those who’ve given the legal maximum, than he did during the 2016 campaign. But if each of those 450 donors had also maxed out to Trump’s 2020 campaign, they would have provided a substantial .5 million in additional funding.And some high-dollar donors to Trump’s 2017 inauguration festivities haven’t just stopped giving to the president altogether; they’re actively bankrolling the Democratic opposition.Reached for comment on Friday afternoon, Jason Miller, a top Trump adviser on the campaign replied, “Mood is great. President Trump will be re-elected. I don’t worry about the bedwetters too much.”But other senior aides to Trump are also girding themselves for the president’s fury over the election results. Three sources familiar with the matter said Trump has repeatedly stressed how low of an opinion he has of Biden as a candidate, and has said how deeply embarrassing it would be for him if he managed to lose to him this year.Aides and close associates who’ve spoken to the president in recent days say that he has consistently argued behind closed doors that he is going to emerge victorious, ignoring much of the available polling data and declining to talk much, if at all, about what would happen if he didn’t. Trump will regularly argue that it doesn’t even make sense that Biden could win, when you look at his crowd sizes in the campaign’s closing weeks versus Biden’s.“If it were anyone else, I’d call it denial,” said one such associate.Two Trump administration officials working on foreign policy told The Daily Beast in the past week that they’re convinced the president will lose, and have instead prioritized making it harder for a President Biden to reverse their policy advancements—including with regards to re-entering the Iran nuclear deal.Still, there are those close to President Trump and in prominent GOP circles who say they remain convinced that Trump will win in a walk, pollsters and naysayers be damned.“I say there’s a 70 percent he’s re-elected, and a 30 percent chance that Biden wins,” said Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and an outside adviser to Trump. “I think most of the establishment polls are just plain crazy. I think they’re done badly. I think they’re missing what’s actually going on…[Trump] is clearly going to win the electoral college, but lose the popular vote…[due to] Illinois, California, and New York.”Describing his private conversations with Trump during the 2020 election cycle, Gingrich added, “Every time I talk to the president, I say very simply what I said to him in October of 2016: ‘You’re gonna win.’”Blame Game Begins After Trump’s Nebraska Rally Sh*tshowRead more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

Never flagged as a danger, Nice attacker traveled unimpeded
The 21-year-old Tunisian behind the attack that killed three in a Nice, France, church had small-time run-ins with the law as a teen, but nothing that alerted Tunisian authorities to possible extremist leanings. Italy’s interior minister, Luciana Lamorgese, told The Associated Press on Friday that Issaoui had not set off warning bells with Tunisian authorities or intelligence services.

Merkel's party mired in leadership 'conspiracy theories' as hopeful Friedrich Merz cries foul
Angela Merkel's CDU party in Germany has been rocked by internal warfare in recent days after leadership hopeful Friedrich Merz claimed that the party establishment was trying to sabotage his leadership bid. On Tuesday, Mr Merz made the astonishing claim that the party conference had been postponed the day before, not for the official reason that rising coronavirus infections had made it impossible, but because people at the top of the party didn't want him to take over and thus in all likelihood became the next Chancellor. “Since Sunday, the last stage of the plan ‘stop Merz’ has been enacted with the full support of the party establishment here in Berlin,” the millionaire businessman told Die Welt newspaper. Asked whether Angela Merkel was behind the plan, Mr Merz didn't explicitly name the Chancellor, but said that “there is huge pressure and unfortunately much of the party leadership can’t stand up to it.” The comments have caused outcry inside a party renowned for its self-discipline. Outgoing leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer admonished Mr Merz, saying “to mind there are too many conspiracy theories doing the rounds these days.” Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer, who won against Mr Merz in a leadership contest in 2018 but gave up the role on the back of poor state election results, said that she “knows nobody” who wants to stop him becoming leader. Mr Merz and the Chancellor were once adversaries before Ms Merkel ousted him from his role as Bundestag faction leader in 2002. When she failed to include him in her first cabinet, he stepped back from front line politics in 2009 and took up lucrative advisory roles at Blackrock and other large companies. Response to Mr Merz's claims of a conspiracy have even been negative among sections of the media normally supportive of him. The business paper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called him “a populist and a narcissist - of which there are enough in world politics.” The next election will take place on September 26 next year, with the CDU leading in polling. The centre-right party is an election winning machine, but a key element of this success has been to keep internal disputes behind closed doors.

State leaders facing 2nd wave resist steps to curb virus
Even as a new surge of coronavirus infections sweeps the U.S., officials in many hard-hit states are resisting taking stronger action to slow the spread, with pleas from health experts running up against political calculation and public fatigue. Days before a presidential election that has spotlighted President Donald Trump's scattershot response to the pandemic, the virus continued its resurgence Friday, with total confirmed cases in the U.S. surpassing 9 million.

U.S. Says Virus Can't be Controlled. China Aims to Prove It Wrong.
The United States is hitting records in daily coronavirus cases. But China, the country first afflicted with the scourge, is having a different experience.Unlike the Trump administration, which has said it is prioritizing opening the economy while essentially giving up on controlling the pandemic, China moved aggressively to stop the virus. The result: China's economy is growing, and life there is returning to a semblance of normal, while the United States is struggling with a third wave of infections and the prospect of new restrictions.Economic growth in China has surged, hitting 4.9% in the latest quarter, and consumer spending has slowly started to recover. Residents are once again flocking into malls, bars, concert halls and hair salons, while schools, subways and offices are crowded.China has effectively sealed off its borders from the outside world and doubled down on efforts to eradicate the virus. When a crop of cases emerges, the government swiftly shuts down vast areas and quickly tests millions of people to help keep local transmissions near zero.China's authoritarian government has the ability to act in a way that democracies that must be accountable to the public cannot. But it has demonstrated that the way to open the economy is to first safeguard public health.While Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, has said the United States is "not going to control the pandemic" but will focus on getting vaccines and therapeutic treatments to combat the disease, China's approach has helped to restore confidence and allow businesses to reopen.During a recent national holiday in China, when hundreds of millions of people went on trips nationwide, tourists crammed shoulder to shoulder to celebrate along the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, some without masks. At Yellow Mountain, in the eastern province of Anhui, thousands of people squeezed into narrow hiking trails, bumping into each other as they passed by granite peaks and pine trees."People aren't panicked anymore," said Eric Xie, who works at an internet company in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou. "You can eat at restaurants, go to movies and play sports. Life has basically returned to normal."As with much in the COVID era, the normalcy comes with an asterisk. Xie said he rarely goes on work trips anymore, instead speaking with clients by video. He said people had largely grown accustomed to wearing masks on subways and buses, even though Hangzhou has not had a coronavirus case in months."It has become a habit," he said. "It's just part of life. People accept it."China's success would have seemed improbable when the virus emerged in the central city of Wuhan late last year.The Chinese government was denounced for trying to initially cover up the virus and to silence those who tried to warn about the outbreak. The decision to lock down Wuhan, a city of 11 million, for 76 days was widely criticized as inhumane and damaging to the livelihoods of ordinary families.For months, President Donald Trump has been one of Beijing's fiercest opponents. He has railed against the "China virus" on Twitter and has made attacks on the Chinese Communist Party a centerpiece of his campaign.But China now represents the extreme, Communist version of a highly managed, scientifically backed approach that has worked in South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan and other democracies. To varying degrees, they are emphasizing the collective good over personal freedoms, a formula that has allowed them to keep cases relatively low.In these places, people take heed when officials mandate masks and impose social distancing restrictions, even if sometimes begrudgingly. They put up with mandatory quarantines and invasive government tracking efforts. They support closing the borders and limiting entry, in most cases, to residents only.By contrast, the pandemic has become highly politicized in the United States, where there have been more than 9 million cases and 228,000 deaths. Wearing masks has become a divisive issue, and many Americans have resisted government limits on their movements.As with much in China, the government leaves little room for dissent or debate over its authoritarian approach to combating the virus, and the population is forced to acquiesce to the party's demands. Yet many people in China say they are relieved that the pandemic seems to be under control, especially as the United States and countries in Europe confront a crush of new cases."People don't feel the restrictions are too severe," said Vivian Gao, 26, who works at a cultural tourism company in Shanghai. "The results are good."When tourism came to a halt amid the outbreak, Gao's company cut her salary for several months by two-thirds, to about 0 a month, straining her budget. Now she says the firm's employees have all returned to the office, and customers are once again lining up to shop and dine."Life is back on track," said Gao, whose salary has been restored.Gao said she believed China's top-down model was better equipped to handle the pandemic than the U.S. political system, which she said placed too much emphasis on individual freedom."In China, a word from a superior can be heard immediately and implemented quickly," Gao said. "It's the difference between individualism and collectivism."The distinction between the two countries has fueled a propaganda frenzy, with officials highlighting the surge in cases in the United States to tout the strength of China's authoritarian system and deflect attention from domestic problems.The Chinese foreign ministry has said the pandemic has "torn the emperor's new clothes" off American democracy. A recent commentary in Global Times, a brash tabloid controlled by the party, called the situation in the United States a "huge human rights tragedy," echoing language that American politicians often use against China.The failure of many western countries to contain the pandemic has helped Chinese President Xi Jinping bolster his party, which came under attack for its early missteps in handling the crisis."The message is, 'Look at the way the United States and Europe are dealing with a simple matter of life and death -- and look at how your government under the Communist Party and Xi Jinping have dealt with the exact same issue,'" said Steve Tsang, director of the China Institute at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.Tsang said the party's success in handling the pandemic would strengthen Xi's grip on power, especially if the Chinese economy continues to outperform other countries. "It will simply reinvigorate him in his efforts to tighten up control of society," he said.China, though, can't declare outright victory.The economy remains in a precarious position, and its strength depends in large part on whether the party can maintain a sense of confidence among the public. With a vaccine still many months away, business owners worry the virus could resurface and once again bring life in China to a standstill.Jane Shao, president of Lumiere Pavilions, a Chinese movie theater chain, said sales had largely recovered since last year because customers believe they can be safe in public. The widespread use of apps in China that verify people's health has helped reduce fears about the virus, she said.Even so, Shao said there was a "long way to go" and that she was worried about the possibility of scattered outbreaks."I can't expect we will live in a panic-free society before vaccines are introduced," she said.The country is also navigating a fine line between encouraging people to be vigilant about the virus and fueling paranoia.When a single asymptomatic case of the coronavirus was detected last week in Kashgar, in the western region of Xinjiang, authorities rushed to lock down the city. Officials demanded that more than 4 million people undergo tests for the virus, eventually finding nearly 200 cases, largely asymptomatic.The mass testing effort followed similar drives in the cities of Wuhan, Beijing, Qingdao and Urumqi, after clusters of cases emerged.China's authoritarian hammer has been a staple of its strategy from the outset, helping it move quickly and bluntly to vanquish resurgences of the virus. But the government's tactics also provoked anger among residents, who say authorities have at times reacted too harshly.Yibulayinaji, a 38-year-old owner of a pilaf stand in Kashgar, said shops had been ordered to close, and residents were staying indoors."We don't know when they'll allow us to reopen, but right now, we can't do any business," he said in a telephone interview. "We can't go out. We can't go anywhere."This article originally appeared in The New York Times.(C) 2020 The New York Times Company

Voting, virus, race are hot topics in state high court races
The high courts in a number of states are on the ballot Tuesday in races that will determine whether Republicans or Democrats have a majority, and the stakes are high for both sides. This year alone, state supreme courts have been thrust into the spotlight to decide politically charged cases over voting rights, race and governors' coronavirus orders. Among the most hotly contested races are the ones for two high court seats in Michigan, where a Republican-leaning majority has undercut emergency virus restrictions by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Kevin Reeves, said in response to the controversy.
