SATURDAY: Small girl smiles in a Barbie box!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2026

Our Halloween edition: This being the day called Halloween, we bring you a picture of delight. 

Yesterday morning, at 5:59 a.m. Eastern, just before Morning Joe started, Ali Vitali, hosting Way Too Early, described this holiday scene: 

VITALI (10/30/26): And finally, some Halloween news to end our show. 

President Trump kicked off the start of Halloween by welcoming families to the White House yesterday evening. The president and first lady Melania Trump handed out full-size chocolate bars to trick or treaters. 

About six thousand people were on the South Lawn taking part in this annual event.

It was quite the way to kick off this holiday weekend.  

Vitali's a good, decent person. If you watch the videotape of her brief report, you'll see boys and girls sporting some excellent Halloween costumes as they cadge those full-size candy bars. 

For our money, the little girl presenting as the Barbie doll inside the Barbie box will be hard to beat this year for pleasure, joy, excitement and fun. For a still shot of this outstanding effort, go ahead—just click here.

There's a great deal more to be said at this time. But the ghosts and the goblins are all about, and Reds and Blues both enjoy this day, and so we'll just leave it right here.

Next Tuesday, spirits will be using us! The danger facing our struggling nation will motor ahead from there.
