Courage and confidence are things we, with the help of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word, can build.

Today’s “Race to the White House” reporting from ABC serves as the network’s latest submission as the most Trump-hostile and Harris-servile. What was billed as a campaign roundup turned out to be little more than a shameless attack on X owner Elon Musk. Watch as presidential debate co-moderator David Muir and Senior Campaign Correspondent Rachel Scott team up to frame Musk as a “controversial billionaire”, repeating that phrase multiple times within a short period of time not unlike a mantra: DAVID MUIR: Former President Donald Trump speaking to business leaders in New York, saying he'll put controversial billionaire Elon Musk in a key role in a Trump administration. Election Day now 60 days away. Here's Rachel Scott. RACHEL SCOTT: Today, Donald Trump announcing a major role in his administration for the world's richest man, promising to put controversial billionaire Elon Musk at the head of a new government commission to crack down on fraud and waste. DONALD TRUMP: A complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. Can't go on the way we are now. And Elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. It will be interesting. If he has the time, he'd be a good one to do it, but he's agreed to do it. SCOTT: No stranger to controversy, Musk has shared misinformation on his social platform X, even once sharing an anti-semitic post, for which he later apologized. The billionaire has endorsed Trump and actively promoted his campaign on X. What is the purpose of such statements? None, really beyond inflaming viewers against Elon Musk, who committed the cardinal sins of purchasing X, standing up for free speech and endorsing Donald Trump.  Campaign roundups typically cover what both campaigns do. Time here was allocated exclusively to the trashing of Musk and, by association, Donald Trump. We even got union bosses’ reactions to comments by Trump and Musk on firings. However, there was no coverage of Harris’s recent remarks on the economy- whether on price controls, tax plans, or any other such proposals.  Viewers were treated to a single sentence on Harris hunkering down in Pennsylvania. If it weren't for Regime Media, we’d have none at all.

The ABC News presidential debate just five days away now. Vice President Kamala Harris arriving in Pittsburgh to prepare for the debate. Former president Donald Trump speaking to business leaders in New York, saying he'll put controversial billionaire Elon Musk in a key role in a Trump administration. Election Day now 60 days away. Here's Rachel Scott. RACHEL SCOTT: Today, Donald Trump announcing a major role in his administration for the world's richest man, promising to put controversial billionaire Elon Musk at the head of a new government commission to crack down on fraud and waste. DONALD TRUMP: A complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. Can't go on the way we are now. And Elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. It will be interesting. If he has the time, he'd be a good one to do it, but he's agreed to do it. SCOTT: No stranger to controversy, Musk has shared misinformation on his social platform X, even once sharing an anti-semitic post, for which he later apologized. The billionaire has endorsed Trump and actively promoted his campaign on X. In fact, Musk himself proposed this idea of a commission in an online Q & A with Trump. Trump seemed to like the idea, and praised Musk for threatening to fire his own workers who go on strike. ELON MUSK: I'd be happy to help out on such a commission. TRUMP: I'd love it. MUSK: If it were formed. TRUMP: Well, you, you're the greatest cutter. I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you say, you want to quit? They go on strike, I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike. And you say, that's okay, you're all gone. You're all gone. So, every one of you is gone. SCOTT: The head of Teamsters calling Trump's comments "Economic terrorism." The head of the UAW saying, "When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean." Today, Trump saying Musk would be charged with finding trillions of dollars in federal waste and fraud. Musk accepting the role, saying, "I look forward to serving America if the opportunity arises."  And David, as for Vice President Kamala Harris, she just landed in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania, where she plans to hunker down in Pittsburgh to prepare for next week's debate now just five days away. David? MUIR: Rachel Scott live in Washington. Rachel, thank you as always.

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images Telegram has quietly removed language from its FAQ page that said private chats were protected from moderation requests. The change comes nearly two weeks after its CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France for allegedly allowing “criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.” Earlier today, Durov issued his first public statement since his arrest, promising to moderate content more on the platform — a noticeable change in tone after the company initially said he had “nothing to hide”. “It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform,” the company wrote in an unattributed statement posted in August. Now, Durov appears to have changed his tone. “Telegram’s abrupt increase in user... Continue reading…

An excavation of a medieval house in the northern Bulgarian village of Debnevo has uncovered five gold coins from the reign of Byzantine emperor Justinian the Great (r. 527-565 A.D.). The dwelling dates to the 10th century, so the coins were already 400 years old when the house was occupied and may have been prized heirlooms or recent discoveries made during the construction of the dwelling. Excavations at Debnevo over the past five years have found the remains of a 4th-3rd century B.C. settlement and evidence that it was still occupied from the 4th to the 6th centuries A.D. The village was next to a fortress built in the early 5th century when the area was part of the Byzantine Empire. The medieval home was built over the remains of a Byzantine building. It was abandoned in the 10th century after a fire damaged it beyond recovery. The occupants left many belongings behind, including two iron sickles and axes, ceramic vessels, three bronze rings. Archaeologists found the five coins on the floor of the home. All five coins are of the same type: a “tremissis” — a small gold coin worth one-third of a “solidus” — that depicts the emperor wearing a pearl diadem on the front, while the back depicts the personification of Victory holding a wreath in her right hand and a cross and globe in her left. The inscription on the front reads “Our Lord Justinian Perpetual Augustus,” a reference to the first Roman emperor, whose name was later used to refer to all emperors, while the back reads “Victory of the Augusts.” Two of the coins, likely burned in the fire that destroyed the house, are stuck together. Archaeologists hypothesize that the builders of the home found the coins when construction work churned up the early Byzantine remains under the new dwelling.
