Viewers were not particularly thrilled with CNN’s splashy, seven-hour town hall on climate change, which aired Wednesday night. Despite the presence of 10 Democratic presidential hopefuls, Fox News won the blue ribbon for the entire evening with its normal programming alone, according to early Nielsen ratings for the 5 p.m.-midnight ET time period.

Hollywood pushes endless myths that demonize guns and gun owners. Ultimately, the film industry endangers lives by misleading people about such an important issue. Here are just a few myths

Thursday on The View, the liberal co-hosts gushed over 2020 candidate South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigeg attacking Christians about the climate, during his CNN town hall late Wednesday. The same View hosts who hate God being brought into the topic of abortion, loved that Democrats were bringing God into climate change. After talking about Marianne Williamson’s tweet saying that meditation could stop Hurricane Dorian, co-host Joy Behar tied the wacky comment to Buttigieg invoking Christianity in the climate change agenda: JOY BEHAR: Pete Buttigieg was very interesting on the subject of religion and the climate change, and I'm just...

BLACK holes could be a portal to another universe and our cosmos could have been born from one, a scientist has sensationally claimed. While the accepted theory on the universe began is the big bang, there are other equally baffling theories. One such is that our universe was born from a black hole opening in another parallel universe and that each black hole in our cosmos could be a gateway to another universe. At the beginning of time, 13.8 billion years ago, there was a dense and super-hot energetic point where the laws of physics did not apply – what...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The mother of a woman killed when a man rammed his car through a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is suing the convicted murderer for wrongful death. Susan Bro filed a $12 million lawsuit Aug. 30 against 22-year-old James Alex Fields Jr., who is now serving life sentences plus 419 years on numerous convictions. The Daily Progress reports Thursday that Bro said she doesn’t want Fields’ “blood money.” She just wants to make sure he can’t profit from selling the rights to his story or publishing a memoir.

Full title: Banning Plastic Straws, Fossil Fuels: Here Are Seven Standout Moments From CNN’s Climate Town Hall CNN’s seven-hour climate town hall allowed ten of the top Democratic presidential candidates to flesh out their positions on climate change, with two of the front-runners expressing support for the Green New Deal. Mayor Peter Buttigieg suggested the Democrat’s fight against climate change could be more challenging than even World War II. Sen.

BORIS Johnson said today he would rather be "dead in a ditch" than grovel to Brussels for an extension to Brexit. The PM told reporters staying in the EU was "totally pointless" during a speech in Wakefield, Yorkshire, this afternoon.

Dakota Fanning has responded to allegations of whitewashing over her latest role. In Sweetness in the Belly, adapted from Camilla Gibb's 2005 novel and screening in Toronto, the actress — recently seen as a Manson girl in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood — plays a child refugee who is abandoned in Africa by her parents and raised in Ethiopia as Muslim. The first clip from the film, directed by Zeresenay Berhane Mehari, was released earlier this week, and fell foul of several online commentators, who complained on social media that Fanning's role — which originally Saoirse Ronan was...

More than one hundred asset managers, trading platforms and investment firms in London have so far obtained licences to run new hubs in the European Union after Brexit, a top EU regulator said on Thursday. Licences are granted by national regulators but the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) ensures they don’t offer sweeteners to UK-based firms that want a base to serve EU clients after Britain leaves the bloc, currently scheduled for Oct. 31. “We have seen significant movement of activity from the UK to the EU27. The number of authorisations is above 100,” ESMA Chair Steven Maijoor told...

It’s got to be good to be a Democrat. Once you get over the “always being wrong” part, you can take comfort in the fact that the media will do all it can to cover for your failures. They’ll ignore your problems. Hell, they’ll even lie on your behalf. It has to be nice. That instinct to protect Democrats is about all that’s keeping Joe Biden’s fading hopes of winning the Democratic Party’s nomination alive. It’s not that the Democratic Party is in love with the former vice president. They know they have a campaigning disaster on their hands who...

Italy has a new coalition government in place, backed by the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the center-left Democrats. Due to the far-right League's fall from power, Italy now has a more pro-European outlook.

Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on Thursday that people who eat burgers and use plastic straws are part of the problem, ‘in a way.’ Buttigieg, who took part in CNN’s lengthy climate change town hall event on Wednesday, joined “New Day” on Thursday morning to discuss some of the topics that had been addressed.

CNN and the leftist group the Human Rights Campaign Foundation will host another marathon town hall with Democratic presidential candidates focusing on “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer issues.” CNN made the announcement the day after a seven-hour climate change town hall and that the next one tied to National Coming Out Day: HRC said the October 10 primetime event, airing live on the eve of National Coming Out Day, will feature the largest-ever audience for a Democratic presidential town hall devoted to LGBTQ issues.

A senior Google employee managing Google Cloud business with the U.S. government appears to have assaulted a pro-life activist near a Washington, DC, Planned Parenthood on Saturday. After the incident, the alleged victim followed the man home in his car, hoping to identify him, and was later tipped off that the alleged assailant was Quinn Chasan, who according to his LinkedIn is employed by Google as, “Head of Customer Analytics, Google Cloud, U.S. Government.” The Daily Caller was able to confirm his identity by linking the address he was followed to with a post on Facebook advertising a July party...

The mainstream media conveniently manipulates the flow of information to keep with its liberal agenda and this week we have yet another example; widespread coverage involving the gruesome murder of a young Maryland man omits that most of the suspects are illegal immigrants affiliated with a violent criminal gang. The 21-year-old victim’s body was found at the end of July in Towson, a community of about 55,000 located roughly 11 miles north of Baltimore City. Police said the victim, Daniel Alejandro Cuellar, was found lying near an apartment building with “trauma to the body.” This week seven suspects were arrested...

Again, another story that didn’t quite make it into the mainstream news’ narrative involving Jeffrey Epstein. In June of last year, decorated former Palm Beach detective Joseph Recarey died after a “brief illness” at the age of 50, and that’s basically all we know, but do a search for him and you’ll barely see anything in the mainstream media, or even alternative media about his death. In 2018, The Palm Beach Daily News reported on his death, but there wasn’t much to report concerning the cause. Joseph Recarey, a former Palm Beach detective who had a knack for making others...

Valera, a truck driver from El Paso, Texas, was taken into custody at the downtown...
