The latest Washington Post-ABC News Tracking Poll,

….Clinton and Trump receive similar support among fellow partisans, but Trump maintains an 18-point edge among political independents, significantly higher than Republicans have held in recent elections.

Looking deeper at that group over a seven-day stretch, 77 percent of independents who say they lean Democratic prefer Clinton while a similar 80 percent who lean Republican favor Trump.

But Trump holds a sizable 53-28 percent advantage among voters who say they don’t lean toward either party, a group that accounts for about 10 percent of likely voters.

Last night.

On the steps of the Tralee Courthouse in Kerry.

Kerry For Choice writes:

Kerry for Choice, in collaboration with Kerry Knicker Collective, placed 12 pumpkins and 56 candles on the Tralee Courthouse steps to highlight the 12 Irish women a day and 56 Kerry women in 2015 who were forced to travel to England to access abortion services.

At this time of year, we light candles and carve pumpkins to keep away the ghosts and ghouls of Halloween in the hope of keeping loved-ones safe from harm. Unfortunately, for every pregnant woman and person who awakes on 1st of November, the spectre of the 8th amendment will not have been dispelled.

They will awake once again to realise they have lost their right to medical consent and the right to control what happens to their bodies.

They will awake to country where medical professionals are not free to offer best practice but must constantly balance the wants and needs of the pregnant person with laws that, they fear, would see them prosecuted for not equating the life of grown adult woman with that of a developing foetus.

They awake to a country that will send them abroad to end pregnancies that they cannot, for whatever reason, continue.

They will awake to a country that instead of allowing these decisions to be made with their own medical providers and support networks, would instead see them made travel, to support the illusion that Ireland is abortion free.

Rejjie Snow – teethgrinding new video for single Pink Beetle

What you may need to know…

01. Alex Anyaegbunam, also known as Rejjie Snow, has taken on the world, and done so without so much as a second thought for the Irish musical establishment. Keen-eyed observers will remember his brief run as Dublin-based teenage wordplay prodigy Lecs Luther.

02. Soon after his time in the Luther pseudonym, he went Stateside to further his then-burgeoning soccer career, eventually tiring of it and coming back to Ireland to work on his real passion. Debut E.P. Rejjovich, released in 2013, did the business, and resulted in a deal with leading indie platform 300 Entertainment.

03. Streaming above is the video for single Pink Beetle. Inspired by the thoughts of a trip to the dentist, as if Hallowe’en wasn’t spooky enough.

04. It’s been released digitally via 300, his second single for the label, and prelude to his debut album, due “as soon as possible”, as confirmed in a recent interview with US industry mag Billboard.

Verdict: Success finds people in many different ways, and Snow has undoubtedly gone about it in his own fashion. It all bodes well for the man with the husky, concentration-laden delivery.

A look at the chequered pasts and Homeric odysseys of American media giants Time Warner and AT&T, told in the story of mergers, leading to their own merger deal last week.

Another indictment of media deregulation, or just big ships taking forever to turn around?

Because merging with web companies hasn’t bade well for Warner before…
