President Biden gave a strong rebuke to the lies, distortions and conspiracy theories made by the Trump/Vance campaign in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton Wednesday, as reported in the center column. 

In the right column, Pundit-at-Large Stephen Macaulay examines Trump’s tariff policy and how the ex-president sent coveted coronavirus test kits to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, as reported by The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward in his latest book, War. 

Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung called Woodward’s book the “work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. None of these made-up stories … are true.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed delivery of the test kits from Trump to Putin but denied that Trump as ex-president made secret calls to Putin, as described in War.
