The 2024 presidential election was decided on Tuesday night, as former President Donald Trump won re-election to begin his second term in office. Trump won after years of unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was unfairly stolen from him in a variety of different ways. He claimed that outsiders from other countries meddled in the election, and that some states and cities were illegally counting votes. These claims were debunked or otherwise proven to be false, but one popular sports radio host is calling out the president-elect for his sudden change of heart when it comes to free and fair...

Elections forecaster Allan Lichtman took a swipe at fellow prognosticator Nate Silver on Wednesday while admitting he was wrong in predicting Vice President Harris would win the presidency. “Unlike Nate Silver, who will try to squirm out of why he didn’t see the election coming, I admit that I was wrong,” Lichtman wrote on the social platform X, adding that he “will assess the election and the keys,” in an upcoming online live show. His comments come after former President Trump was declared the winner early Wednesday. A historian and American University professor, who has correctly predicted nearly every presidential...

Women have been taking to social media urging others to boycott men. Millions of Americans were glued to the TV on the night of November 5 as they watched in shock as Trump pulled off a jaw-dropping political comeback and regained his seat in the White House.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa made waves two weeks ago when he crashed teammate Brock Purdy's postgame interview on Sunday Night Football wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. Asked by reporters after the game if he wanted to discuss his endorsement of Donald Trump, Bosa declined. The 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year could still possibly face a fine from the league for violating its policy against making political statements, but when approached by reporters today following Trump's election victory Tuesday, Bosa was not sweating that possibility. “It was well worth it," Bosa said about potentially...

It may take a while for analysts to fully quantify the factors that led to Donald Trump being elected the 47th President of the United States on Tuesday. But former All-Pro quarterback Boomer Esiason believes that one person was the "biggest" factor to his win. An "X-factor" if you will. On Wednesday's edition of Boomer & Gio, Esiason stated that the "biggest mover" that Trump had in the entire election was Elon Musk due to Musk's ownership of X and aggressive use of the platform to magnify Trump's messaging. While Esiason wouldn't make a judgment whether the information was accurate...

PENN HILLS, Pa. — A little girl was sent to the hospital after she was hit in the head by a rock while trick-or-treating in Penn Hills. According to police paperwork, a mother and her 5-year-old daughter had just left a house on Dorothy Drive when the mother felt something hit her back. When she turned around, she saw a man pick up another fist-sized rock and throw it. The second rock struck her daughter in the head. Channel 11 spoke off-camera to a woman at the home the pair had just left. She described the throw as hard and...

'This is a mandate. He's won the national popular vote for the Republicans for the first time since 2004. This is a big deal. 'This isn't backing into the office. This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do: get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, try to reduce the chaos in the world. 'This is a mandate from the American people to do that. I'm interpreting the results tonight as revenge of just the regular old working-class American, the anonymous American who has been...

Germany's governing coalition is in crisis after Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired a key minister and said he would call a vote of confidence in his government early next year. Scholz said he had no trust in Finance Minister Christian Lindner, who leads a rival party that has been part of the coalition along with Scholz's Social Democrats and the Greens. The move means Scholz's government no longer has a majority in parliament. The confidence vote could lead to early elections by March. The so-called "traffic light" coalition led by the chancellor has governed Germany since 2021.

Ward previously criticized Biden for his debate performance in JuneFormer NFL star defensive back T.J. Ward appeared happy with election results after Fox News projected Donald Trump had defeated Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency. Ward, a Super Bowl champion and three-time Pro Bowler, wrote his take on X. "I’m so glad we done with this Kamala foolery lmao," he wrote. "Sometimes you have to protect the fools from themselves. "At the end of the day America voted for America and the people put her in the hands of the most qualified candidate. Be mad if you want to....

After refusing to concede Tuesday evening, Kamala Harris showed up late to her own concession speech at Howard University Wednesday afternoon. I've never looked forward to hearing her speak — ever — but today I did. So I was more than a bit annoyed that she was nearly twenty minutes late. Be that as it may, it was quite the show. Tim Walz looked like he was in tears, which certainly fit the bill. Kamala Harris’s concession speech was a blend of the obligatory humble platitudes but included its fair share of pointed, bitter undertones, making it hard to discern...

SNIP That was why, of all the big shocks during Election Night, the hard shift of Latino voters to Donald Trump did not surprise me in the least. The speed at which it came to pass may have surprised me, but the fact it happened did not. Ever since Trump did better with Latino voters in 2020 — after he called Mexicans drug dealers, rapists and criminals in 2016 — I’ve been cognizant of this shift. And I’ve spent a lot of time trying to work out what’s behind it, particularly when it comes to Latino men. The warning signs...

A new migrant caravan departed Mexico’s southern border in an attempt to reach the U.S. border before the arrival of a new Trump administration. Mexican immigration officials stood by as the caravan departed while police forces escorted them. On Tuesday morning, approximately 2,500 migrants departed from Tapachula, Chiapas, on their way to Mexico City. As in the case of other caravans, once the migrants reach Mexico City, they are expected to disband as they find various ways of quickly reaching the U.S. border, such as commercial flights, passenger buses, or other vehicles. Due to the size of the caravan, Mexican...

No idea what she's like as an organizer or political leader, but her delivery is first rate.

Donald Trump was elected president again last night. After being voted out of office in 2020. After trying to rig the vote and then to overthrow the government by force in the wake of that loss. After all but welcoming a pandemic that ended up killing more than a million of us. After ripping away abortion care rights from millions of American women. After being impeached, twice. After being convicted of multiple felonies. After dogging it on the campaign trail, playing to emptying halls while speaking in demented tongues unknown even to him. After all of that, and God knows...

Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday called to congratulate Donald Trump on his presidential election victory and invite him to meet at the White House and will address the nation on Thursday. The White House, in a statement after Trump beat Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris for the U.S. presidency, said Biden also committed "to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together." Biden has also spoken with Harris, it added.

CANTON, Mass. — A Massachusetts man convicted as a teen of killing a 14-year-old classmate "for the heck of it" in Canton has been granted parole — 37 years after he was sent to prison. Rod Matthews was convicted in 1988 of second-degree murder in the November 1986 beating death of 14-year-old Shaun Ouillette, who he lured into the woods and bludgeoned with a baseball bat. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. According to court documents, in late October 1986, then-14-year-old Matthews told two classmates that he "wanted to know what it was like...

“People don’t understand what she had to do to get here." “I don't think people realize how hard it is to get to where she was. As a woman, getting elected D.A. is not easy, guys. People don't trust women to be in charge of making decisions about life and death."
