The El Paso Zoo teased the return of Quit Bugging Me this Valentines Day! Last year, the El Paso Zoo let you submit the names of your former significant other. The zoo then named cockroaches after people’s exes and fed them to its meerkats! The zoo teased the return of the popular event on Twitter Wednesday.

This is the year that people all over the world demand meaningful action on the plastic pollution crisis. Millions have been inspired to act by the devastating impacts to our oceans and the marine animals in them. The heartbreaking video of a turtle with a straw stuck in its nose, the growing awareness of the garbage patches, and the imagery of beaches covered in plastic have shown us that we should not rely on this dangerous material that pollutes our environment forever. But the answer is not for corporations or governments to simply ban plastic straws or bags and walk...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., may have successfully corralled his Republican colleagues Tuesday to defeat 11 efforts by Senate Democrats to subpoena key Trump administration witnesses and documents (and modify other rules) in the Senate impeachment trial. But these tactics have likely put Republican senators facing competitive races in an impossible bind ( two January polls show) that, in both battleground states and swing counties, more voters support Trump’s removal than approve of him. That dynamic could cost the Republicans control of the Senate after the 2020 elections — and, in that event, McConnell’s powerful post as majority leader...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s private emails have been hacked by cyber criminals in a new twist in the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew’s friendship with a convicted paedophile. The British heiress was targeted after she was publicly accused of procuring young girls for Jeffrey Epstein, legal papers seen by the Telegraph reveal. The security breach raises the prospect that emails between Ms Maxwell and prominent individuals including the Duke of York could be made public, or sold to the highest bidder. There were even suggestions last night that a rogue state may have targeted the 58-year-old in search of incriminating information on powerful...

President Trump on Friday will become the first president to attend in-person the March for Life. Trump quote-tweeted a video of last year's pro-life event, adding "See you on Friday...Big Crowd!" The president addressed the gathering in 2018 via video stream, and Vice President Pence attended in 2019. Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, hailed the Trump administration's efforts to appoint conservative justices and cut funding for abortions. "President Trump and his Administration have been consistent champions for life and their support for the March for Life has been unwavering," she said in a statement. "We are grateful for...

BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese city of more than 11 million people planned to shut down outbound flights and trains Thursday as the world’s most populous country battled the spread of a new virus that has sickened hundreds of people and killed 17, state media reported. Everyone in the city of Wuhan was to be restricted to some degree. The state-owned People’s Daily newspaper said no one would be allowed to leave. The official Xinhua News Agency said no one would be permitted to leave without a specific reason. Train stations and the airport were to shut down at 10...

Pope Francis’ favored interviewer casts Cdl Sarah as leading ‘opposition’ campaign Is the new ‘interview’ a further example of Pope Francis’s parallel press office? ROME, January 21, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Eugenio Scalfari’s latest “interview” with Pope Francis, which came out at the height of the recent Benedict XVI-Cardinal Sarah book controversy, was a “loose reconstruction” of the Italian journalist’s recollection of the meeting, the Vatican has said. In the January 16 “interview,” published in the left-leaning Italian daily La Repubblica, 95-year-old Scalfari, who is regarded as Francis’s preferred interviewer, portrayed “From the Depths of Our Hearts” as an opposition...

Joe Biden told Vice News that he would not seek to deport drunk driving illegal migrants. Immigration agents should “only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that’s committed [in the United States], and I don’t count drunk driving as a felony,” Biden told his interviewers Jan. 20. “We’re not going to deport anybody who has not — in this country — committed a felony in this country. In this country, committed a felony,” he said. But many Americans have been killed by drunk-driving illegals, and DUIs are commonplace among illegals. For example, In fiscal 2019, the Immigration...

Joe Biden often says odd things, sometimes daily, out on the campaign trail. It’s hard to understand exactly what is going through his mind as he speaks to his supporters. Tuesday in Iowa, Biden brought up a reference to clipping coupons as a way to make money. That would have been enough to make a person question his statement but then he topped it – he said that people are making money “clipping coupons on the street.” . . . There was another gem from Tuesday in Iowa – this time during an event in Fort Dodge. Joe Biden claimed...

Nothing quite tickles the fancy of energy investors like a giant oil or gas find. But here’s the secret sauce: stocks of small-cap companies tend to enjoy serious leverage whenever they strike oil, whereas the heavyweights, well, not so much. You don’t have to look very far for an example: shares of ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) are down more than 20% since the company announced a 14-strong string of good discoveries off the coast of Guyana in 2015, one of its best finds ever. That’s because companies like Exxon have their fingers in too many pies, and their share prices depend...

Travelers may be used to flying with their emotional support animals -- anything from a pet hamster to a baby crocodile -- but the rules are about to change, according to a new proposal from the Department of Transportation. The proposal unveiled by DOT on Wednesday proposes to strictly limit the definition of a service animal to a dog, reversing a policy that permits a wide range of other animals to fly under that framework. DOT’s new rule also no longer requires airlines to recognize emotional support animals, with the agency citing a number of reasons for the change. SNIP...

Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia installed online voter registration kiosks in its emergency department this month to help boost the number of registered voters in the state, reports Philly Mag. Hospital patients, visitors or employees can use the kiosks to check their registration status and register to vote. At present, about 12 percent of eligible voters in Pennsylvania are not registered to vote. Many of these individuals come from underserved populations and often face various socioeconomic challenges that are directly affected by public policy. As a result of these challenges, many unregistered voters end up in Einstein Medical Center's ED. The...

A second convicted child molester has died after he was beaten with a walking cane by another inmate last week at a central California prison, officials said Wednesday.

RUSH: You know, my friends, I am never locked in the moment. I am always thinking ahead. It’s one of the frustrating things, by the way. I don’t get stuck in the present because the present is where the deception is. And as we now know, there’s always the next phase. This impeachment is gonna bomb. All right? Trump is not going to be convicted. I don’t care what happens between now and when that happens, it’s gonna be a bunch of stuff the media’s gonna try to make you think is big and the Democrats are winning and the...

Just wondering - I've seen all of the headlines filled with wishful thinking - Mitt Romney pledges to have ‘open mind’ during Trump impeachment trial Collins and Romney hold the keys in the impeachment trial.
