Good morning! This date in 1860 was election day for Abraham Lincoln. By the time Lincoln was inaugurated, seven Southern states had left the Union. Some say this famous 1860 photo of Lincoln helped him get elected.

Pro-Gaza Mob Attacks White House Gates

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched around the world this weekend in protests, marked in Washington D.C. by a mob trying to raise the Palestinian flag atop the White House gates.

Thousands of anti-Israel protestors in Washington sprayed antisemitic messages on buildings and chanted anti-Israel and anti-Biden slogans. At the White House, a pack of demonstrators mobbed the gate (See Video) and vandalized it with red paint.

In London, where Hamas is officially labeled a terrorist organization and support of it has been criminalized, at least a dozen masked demonstrators were arrested for battling and launching fireworks at police.

Politico Report Casts Doubt on Biden Denials

An investigative special report by Politico casts doubt on President Biden’s statements about his lack of involvement in his family’s overseas financial dealings. The publication cites evidence contradicting White House claims on a number of points.

These include Biden’s claim that he never discussed business dealings with his family; his suggestion that incriminating e-mails were Russian disinformation; and his denials that his son made money in China or that his relatives profited off the Biden name.

The report by Politico indicates that ongoing House investigations into the Biden family are beginning to break through. An AP-NORC poll shows that 70% of Americans think Biden acted either illegally or unethically.

Blaney Wins NASCAR Cup Championshhip

Ryan Blaney won the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series championship in Phoenix after passing Kyle Larson with 20 laps to go in a fierce battle for second place. It was Blaney’s first career NASCAR championship.

The race itself was won by Ross Chastain, but he wasn’t one of the four drivers with enough Cup series points to compete for the championship. The four were Blaney, Larson, William Byron, and Christopher Bell.

It was the first time the Cup championship race was won by a driver who wasn’t racing for the title since the current format was adopted in 2014.
