Night has always been a central theme in rock ‘n’ roll, just as much as words like love, heart, and you. It’s no surprise—rock and roll is a celebration of nightlife: concerts, parties, dancing, and everything that happens once the sun goes down. When you think of rock music, it’s almost impossible not to associate it with the energy and allure of the night. So, putting together a list of the best rock songs with the word “night” in the title makes perfect sense. With millions of songs written about the night, narrowing it down to just ten is, of The post 10 Best Rock Songs With The Word “Night” In The Title appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

News Elevation It’s Good to Stay High in Elevation Trailer By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 4, 2024 Screenshot: Vertical Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Vertical We’ve got a full trailer for the upcoming movie, Elevation, which sees Anthony Mackie, Morena Baccarin, and Maddie Hasson battling Earth’s new apex predator. The trailer gives us a lot more details than the previously released teaser. For one thing, it confirms my educated guess that these human-killing monsters (who are probably aliens from outer space, though the trailer doesn’t confirm that) can’t survive at high elevations. We even learn the specific height that makes the monsters turn away: 8,000 feet. That means that much of the U.S. would become the tentacled beasts’ hunting ground. We also find out that this post-apocalyptic world came about one night three years ago, and that Mackie’s character is a widowed dad who needs medical filters to keep his son alive. Mackie, along with Baccarin and Hasson’s characters, head down to the relatively high town of Boulder, Colorado, which still falls below 8,000 feet. There, more filters for Mackie’s son are undoubtedly stored at a hospital. Unsurprisingly, those monsters track them down quickly as they descend, leading to several skirmishes. The movie comes to us from director George Nolfi and writers John Glenn, Jacob Roman, and Kenny Ryan. It’s produced by Mackie and Nolfi, as well as Brad Fuller (A Quiet Place, The Purge), John Glenn, Joel Viertel, Jeremy Kipp Walker, Natalie Sellers, and Alex Black. Elevation premieres in theaters on November 8, 2024. Check out the latest trailer below. [end-mark] The post It’s Good to Stay High in <i>Elevation</i> Trailer appeared first on Reactor.

The swing state of Pennsylvania’s voter registration system will be closed on the night of former President Donald Trump’s return rally in Butler, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against him.  The Republican nominee announced Sept. 25 that he is holding another rally in Butler on Oct. 5, just three months after a gunman shot the former president at a rally there, wounding him in the ear.  “This website will undergo scheduled system maintenance and be unavailable Saturday, October 5th 10 p.m. until October 6th 4 a.m,” the Pennsylvania Voter Registration website says. “We thank you for your understanding.” Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump are running neck-and-neck in Pennsylvania, with the vice president holding a one-point lead, according to a new poll. When the poll includes likely voters who say they lean toward a candidate, Harris and Trump are in a deadlock with 49% each. Butler County, the location of the rally, is historically a Republican stronghold. At Saturday’s rally, Trump will honor the father and firefighter, Corey Comperatore, who was fatally shot at the July rally, as well as David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were wounded by the assassin’s bullets that day.  “President Donald J. Trump will return to Butler, Pennsylvania, to hold a rally on the very same ground where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life less than three months ago,” the Trump campaign statement said.  The rally will take place on the same Butler Farm Show grounds where Thomas Matthew Crooks shot the former president in the ear 12 weeks earlier. The Pennsylvania Department of State and the Trump campaign did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.  The post Pennsylvania Closes Down Voter Registration on Night of Trump’s Return to Butler appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The Chinese Communist Party has taken an interest in Michigan—particularly Camp Grayling, a military training facility about 200 miles north of Detroit. The FBI has leveled related conspiracy charges against five Chinese nationals, but the activities in question happened last year and the FBI’s court filing doesn’t disclose their whereabouts. This suggests the bureau is at least one step behind the five.     Fortunately, House-passed legislation now before the Senate could stop such activities before they occur. Such proposals are necessary. According to reports, the FBI has documented more than one incident of a Chinese national who is or was a foreign exchange student in the U.S. and took photographs of “vital defense sites” while here.  The five Chinese nationals charged by the FBI studied at the University of Michigan as part of an exchange program with Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In August 2023, court filings say, they were found after midnight with cameras and other recording equipment near military vehicles around Camp Grayling. At the time, military officials were conducting exercises that included personnel from Taiwan. The Chinese students took photos near classified equipment, local media reported. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich., chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, referred to China’s ruling party in a formal statement: “This case shows once again that CCP espionage can happen anywhere in America and we must be vigilant. The CCP obviously has an interest in Camp Grayling.” But it gets worse. Records show that after some of these Chinese nationals were stopped later at the Detroit airport, officials found photos of military vehicles on one individual’s hard drive. The FBI engaged others at the Chicago airport and found more evidence that they took photos of military equipment. Investigators since have uncovered messages on a messaging platform in which the former students talked about trying to delete the images. Prosecutors accused them of misleading investigators, bringing what Moolenaar calls “espionage-related charges” over the stated plan to remove evidence from their mobile devices. The students graduated in May. As of Thursday, their locations were unknown, according to MLive, a Michigan news outlet that includes The Ann Arbor News. Meanwhile, Congress continues to consider proactive measures to rein in the Chinese government’s exploitation of college campuses. The House last month passed a bill sponsored by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, that would prohibit support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to any university that has a relationship with a Confucius Institute and other Chinese entities of concern such as the Thousand Talents Program. (Confucius Institutes are Chinese language and culture programs that gave the Chinese Communist Party undue influence on college campuses and in other institutions.) Congressional lawmakers already have restricted spending for colleges that host Confucius Institutes; many of the institutes changed their name or closed entirely. Even so, research and advocacy organizations such as the National Association of Scholars and Parents Defending Education have found that so-called Confucius Classrooms still exist on nearly two dozen military bases and in more than 160 U.S. education institutions. The FBI lists the Thousand Talents Program as part of its efforts against CCP espionage. Although Pfluger’s legislation isn’t the last word on blocking the Chinese Communist Party, the provisions provide more scrutiny and oversight on postsecondary institutions’ relationships with organizations and schools in China. State lawmakers should consider similar proposals. Last year in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed three bills limiting the influence of countries of concern such as China, including legislation blocking state colleges from soliciting or accepting gifts in their official capacities from a country of concern. The legislation also prohibits storing “sensitive data” on servers “that might be owned by entities affiliated with the CCP.” Since it appears that all five former students charged in the Michigan case were present in the U.S. and affiliated with the University of Michigan as part of a joint program with a Chinese university, a restriction on ties with Chinese schools may have proved an effective defense. Americans shouldn’t have to wait for investigators to play catch-up. Lawmakers already have legislative tools that could help prevent foreign agents from engaging in conspiracy against the U.S. in the first place.

Hmmm: Longshoremen's Strike Suspended Until ... Inauguration Week

Here's One Reason Why FEMA Is Doing Such a Terrible Job

Google, for four days in a row, engulfed its Search with nine times as many articles from leftist media outlets than outlets without a predominantly leftist bias. This comes a week after the Big Tech platform attempted to dismiss an MRC Free Speech America search study as a mere one-off. This week, MRC researchers conducted the same searches for “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024” every day for four days starting Sept. 30. Google continued to flood its search results with articles from leftist media outlets and videos above former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign websites. Altogether, Google displayed 45 articles from leftist, U.S.- and U.K.-based media outlets compared to just five without a predominantly leftist bias: NewsNation, Fox News and C-SPAN. “Google owes the MRC and the American people an apology for its election interference,” said Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell. “Google has been caught misrepresenting the facts.” “”    Google’s overt leftist bias is especially concerning considering that according to a November 2023 Pew Research survey, a rising number of American adults receive their news from search. The study found that 15 percent of U.S. adults prefer to get their news from search engines, which is up from 13 percent in 2022, and 11 percent in 2021. The leftist, U.S.-based media outlets that Google credentialed by pushing them to the top of search results were as follows: The Washington Post, MSN, The New York Times, CNN, Politico, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, The Economist, The Hill, NBC News, MSNBC, Forbes, NPR, CNBC, CBS and CBS News Bay Area. The search engine also produced articles and videos from three leftist, U.K.-based outlets including The Independent, BBC and The Guardian.  Following MRC’s relentless reporting calling out Google, MRC researchers saw an incremental rise in the placement of Trump’s campaign website. On Monday, his website ranked fifth in search results; on Tuesday and Wednesday, it was third; and on Friday, it was the first result.  Nonetheless, in every instance, Google still flooded the space above Trump’s campaign website with leftist media outlets. Even when Trump’s website appeared as the first organic search result Thursday, Google piled on an avalanche of leftist news and a short blurb from the “2024 United States presidential election” Wikipedia page above his campaign website.  In contrast, when Harris’s website appeared as the first result on Wednesday, there was not a single news article above her website. Instead, there were simply three panels: one that read “2024 US elections,” one that included the date of the election day and the same snippet from the election Wikipedia page. In addition, on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, Harris’s website appeared twice in search results. Google also favored Harris in the number of articles that appeared above each candidate's website. The search giant injected no fewer than seven articles from overwhelmingly leftist news outlets above Trump’s campaign website every day. Not once did more content appear above Harris’s website than Trump’s.  This more vivid picture of Google’s pattern of bias comes after the search giant attempted to dismiss an MRC study further in which researchers conducted the same two searches, “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024.” MRC researchers found results very similar to the ones enumerated above. Google consistently padded the top of its search results with news from outlets with a leftist bias.  Google told Fox News at the time that MRC’s study was based on a “single rare search term on a single day several weeks ago.” The Big Tech company also insisted in comments to CNBC that it “absolutely” does not manipulate results to favor candidates. But MRC has now conducted 21 additional election-related Google Search studies demonstrating a continued theme of leftist bias on the Big Tech platform.  For example, on Tuesday of this week, MRC Free Speech America published a study showing that when MRC researchers searched for “kamala harris presidential race 2024,” not a single U.S.-based news outlet rated “lean right” or “right” by media ratings firm AllSides appeared until Google placed Fox News as the fifth result on the 13th page of search results. Similarly, in a search for “donald trump presidential race 2024,” Google buried the first U.S.-based “lean right” result, a New York Post article, as the third result on the 14th page.  Similarly, on Wednesday morning, the day after the vice presidential debate, an MRC Free Speech America analysis showed that in Google News tab search for “jd vance,” 100 percent of the results the tech giant displayed came from outlets with a leftist political bias. But Google’s bias doesn’t stop there.  For the second time now, Google’s AI chatbot has refused to definitively answer questions about terrorist groups attacking Israel. When asked, “What is Hamas” or “What is Hezbollah,” Gemini instead directed MRC researchers to Google Search. Similarly, when asked if Hezbollah, a murderous terrorist organization — was “good,” the chatbot shockingly gave a nuanced response that provided some justifications for why people might consider Hezbollah a noble group. This showed very little change from last year when MRC Free Speech America Vice President, Dan Schneider found similar results. Google has a sordid history of interfering in elections as a recent MRC study showed. MRC Free Speech America researchers compiled 41 times Google was caught interfering in U.S. elections, beginning in 2008, intensifying in 2016 and continuing into 2024. MRC researchers found carefully crafted studies and numerous reports (from 2008 through February 2024) that have consistently demonstrated the tech behemoth’s election meddling. Methodology: For this report, MRC Free Speech America analyzed the Sept. 30, Oct. 1, Oct. 2  and Oct. 3 Google search results of the innocuous words “donald Trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024.”  MRC Free Speech America created an algorithm to automate this process in a clean environment. A “clean environment” allows for organic search to populate results without the influence of prior search history and tracking cookies. Conservatives are under attack.

Far-left author Ta-Nehisi Coates continued his book tour on Thursday when he joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid on The ReidOut. Together, the duo would recall Coates’s trip to Senegal and lament the fact that people were doing “what, I guess, they do on the beach” outside of his hotel near an important historical landmark for the slave trade. Reid began, “I just want to start with this, kind of, you tell these three stories, and the story in Senegal was heartbreaking in that it spoke to the colonization that remained trapped in the minds of even people on the continent, which is not something black folks think about. Talk about experiencing that.”     As Coates was speaking, MSNBC put up photos of the House of Slaves museum and memorial on the Senegalese island of Gorée just off of the capital city of Dakar, where it is believed by some that over a million enslaved people passed through before being loaded onto slave ships. With that as background, Coates replied, “Yeah, you know, I mean, one of the things I say toward the end of the book is I didn't get my adult passport until I was 37 years old, oddly enough the same year The Case for Reparations was published, and obviously because of that, you know, I went to Africa relatively late. In fact, travel and international travel for me was largely, like, I guess a lot of people, enjoyment, vacation, and I put off this trip back home, as they say, and I put it off because I knew it wasn't going to be a vacation.” Coates added, “And in fact, what it turned out to be was a kind of pilgrimage, a confrontation with images of myself, images of ourselves as black folks, and really ultimately, I would have to say a mourning.” For her part, Reid concurred, “It is. And I think having been there and done a, sort of, version of that in Ghana, you have, there's a sorrow to it, and there's a deep sort of, there’s almost something kind of offensive about the idea that it's tourism, you know, for people to do. Coates was relieved someone agreed, “Oh, my god. You know, I was in this hotel. I'm glad to hear you say that. I feel bad about it, but I was in this hotel, and it was right on the beach. I would walk out and I would see people doing what, I guess, they do on the beach and I looked at them like they were out of their minds.” Reid recalled, “Out of their—I did the same,” as Coates continued, “Because, you know, to us, it's not a beach, right? It’s not a beach.” The pair agreed that “it’s a tomb.” If the Senegalese government wanted to turn the whole island into a memorial, they could, but have chosen not to, no doubt, in part, because over 1,600 people live there. Is Coates trying to shame them for going to the beach? What about the Senegalese vacationers themselves? Should people who visit the Normandy beaches be perpetually dour even when they are not at the memorials? Reid then claimed, “And so the way that I kind of married that part to the second part of your book is that you then have people fighting the history that Africa is the start of, right? You get to South Carolina and people say, 'No, we don't want that history, we don't want the 1619 Project. We want denial.'” Nobody who criticizes the 1619 Project is denying slavery, just like nobody who goes to the beach is denying slavery. Here is a transcript for the October 3 show: MSNBC The ReidOut 10/3/2024 7:34 PM ET JOY REID: I just want to start with this, kind of, you tell these three stories, and the story in Senegal was heartbreaking in that it spoke to the colonization that remained trapped in the minds of even people on the continent, which is not something black folks think about. Talk about experiencing that.
