The entitled male is hard to shut up. Recent displays of infuriating "manterrupting" illustrate how tough it can be to manage the problem. CBS News journalist Lesley Stahl, in her "60 Minutes" interview Sunday with President Donald Trump, was interrupted, talked over, instructed and lectured about how to speak. Despite - or perhaps because of - her unrattled persistence, Trump finally cut her off completely and walked out of the interview early. As every woman who has sat seething through a meeting knows, "manterrupting" is real. Social science studies suggest that men interrupt women 33 percent more than they interrupt...

At least seven soldiers have been killed by Boko Haram insurgents in Doska, Borno state, military sources have told TheCable. The troops were said to be on a patrol to the area when they got tricked by the insurgents who appeared in military uniforms and gun trucks. Doska, a village in between Ajigin and Talala in Damboa local government area of the state, became deserted since 2015 when the insurgents took control of the area which today remains one of their strongholds. “The troops were on a fighting patrol, and when they got to Doska, they saw these people in...

Bronx Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized long lines she found while visiting a polling site in the borough on Sunday morning to cast her own vote. Voters had been waiting in line for several hours when the congresswoman showed up. 'There is no place in the United States of America where two-, three-, four-hour waits to vote is acceptable,' the Democrat said outside the site in Parkchester.

YERUSHALAYIM - Southern Israel was under attack on Tuesday night as an Iron Dome interceptor shot down a rocket fired out of Gaza. Air raid sirens sounded in towns in the Gaza periphery, including Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz. The military later confirmed the reports of an attack. Channel 12 said that at least one rocket was seemingly downed near Sderot. A security video shows what appears to be an Iron Dome interceptor missile sent skyward. No injuries have been reported. Details as they emerge.

Explosive balloons were spotted over Sapir Academic College near Sderot on Monday, according to ynet. An explosive charge attached to the balloons reportedly detonated in the air, but the balloons continued to travel and are being tracked by security officials. A balloon landed at the Amdocs Factory in Sderot shortly afterwards, according to ynet. It is unclear if this is the same balloon as the one spotted over Sapir College. Except for sporadic balloon launches in September, the launches had largely stopped since a ceasefire was reached between Hamas and Israel at the end of August after weeks of...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday spoke in defense of Hunter Biden after U.S. President Donald Trump accused him of engaging in business with Ukraine. In a broadcast on Russian state TV, Putin responded to Trump's comments during the second presidential debate and said he "does not see anything criminal" about Hunter's dealings with Ukrainian companies, Reuters reported. "Yes, in Ukraine he (Hunter Biden) had or maybe still has a business, I don't know. It doesn't concern us. It concerns the Americans and the Ukrainians," Putin said. "But well yes he had at least one company, which he practically headed...

Treisman is not a Trumper, but one of the Left, a supporter of Bernie Sanders. The HuffPo, like NPR, doesn’t bother to inform its readers about this at all. Buried in the fifteenth paragraph of the Washington Post story on Treisman is the salient fact that this psychopath himself explained that he wanted to kill Biden in order to “save bernie [sic].” Treisman wrote on the Internet platform iFunny: “If anything I have to save bernie.” Then he wondered on the same platform: “should I kill joe biden?” But most of those who are imagining a MAGA hat on Treisman...

Another barbaric terrorist attack by ISIS (Islamic State – IS) aimed at Shia Muslims in Kabul killed at least 24 young people. Over many decades different Sunni Islamist terrorist groups have targeted the Shia in Afghanistan. Therefore, the latest massacre joins a long list of sectarian violence. The ISIS suicide bomber had hoped to enter an education center to kill even more. However, he was spotted, thus the suicide bomber detonated just outside the education center. The BBC reports, “The building in the predominantly Shia Muslim Dasht-e-Barchi area usually hosts hundreds of students.” ISIS immediately claimed responsibility for killing innocent...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer defended former Vice President Joseph R. Biden against claims that his son leveraged the family name for foreign cash, saying Sunday there was “not a scintilla of evidence that there was wrongdoing by Joe Biden.” She referenced an earlier interview with Republican National Committee chair Ronna Romney McDaniel, who had urged news outlets to dig into the influence-peddling allegations against Hunter Biden. “You just asked Ronna Romney if there was a scintilla of evidence that there was wrongdoing by Joe Biden, and she was able to produce none because none exists,” said Ms. Whitmer on “Fox...

Prince Harry has admitted he did not know unconscious racist bias existed until he was 'living a day or a week in my wife's shoes' following his marriage to Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex, 36, spoke about racism in an interview with Black Lives Matter activist Patrick Hutchinson for GQ magazine and admitted his 'upbringing and education' did not equip him to understand the issue. Harry said: 'Once you realise or you feel a little bit uncomfortable, then the onus is on you to go out and educate yourself, because ignorance is no longer an excuse. 'And unconscious bias,...

Three young men were killed and set ablaze in the village of Toulk in northern Kirkuk province on Saturday evening. Peshmerga fighter Aram Mustafa, his brother Harez and cousin Peshawa Abdulrahman, all in their 20s, were searching for cattle in the area when they were killed. According to village residents, the three men were shot dead in their vehicle and were then set on fire. According to Luqman Sartki, commander of the Peshmerga’s 11th Brigade, bullet fragments were left in the vehicle but no other evidence was recovered from the scene. Aram and Harez’s father say the three men were...

We can return to the explosive job creation, rising wages and general prosperity we had before the pandemic. We can have economic freedom and opportunity, and resist cancel culture and censorship. We can put annus horribilis, 2020, behind us and make America great again, again. We can do all this - if we make the right choice on Nov. 3. The New York Post endorses President Donald J. Trump for re-election. Elections are always about the economy, but never more so than this year. So a reminder: Until the necessary shutdown to fight the coronavirus, the unemployment rate stood at...

The grisly killing 10 days ago of a French school teacher had many of the hallmarks of past attacks carried out by the bloody Islamist terror outfit ISIS. A well-defined symbolic target in the West: Samuel Paty, a respected history and geography teacher who'd been criticized by a Muslim parent and Islamist agitator for showing satirical cartoons of the prophet Muhammad as part of his annual lesson on free speech; the brazen brutality of the act: a swift stabbing and beheading with a butcher knife on a street near the school north of Paris; online exchanges discovered later between the perpetrator, a...

FRANKFURT - Since taking the helm a year ago, Christine Lagarde has turned the European Central Bank’s attention to social issues like climate change and inequality, broadening its horizons but also opening it to attacks that could test its independence. Lagarde’s efforts to use the bank’s leverage to fight global warming, gender imbalance or income inequality may have been overshadowed by the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing, deep recession. But they could yet reshape the currency union’s most powerful institution and help redefine the role of central banking in an era where the threat of runaway inflation has faded into...

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qES07dktLgk&feature=emb_logo Members of the far-left Antifa movement gathered at the corner of 5th Avenue and 59th Street to protest the “Jews for Trump” caravan passing through Manhattan. Video from the event shows Antifa protesters hurling epithets at the caravan, with some of the mob directing their vitriol at the former mayor. “F*** you, Rudy,” one man screamed. Antifa protesters hurled eggs at the caravan, including Giuliani’s vehicle, while one person was filmed ripping off a pro-police “Back the Blue” flag from one of the vehicles in the caravan. Far-left demonstrators were also filmed attacking Trump supporters in Times Square....

The lead editorial of the New York Times Sunday declares that the Republican Party will die with President Donald Trump’s defeat in the November election. Under the headline “R.I.P., G.O.P.: The Party of Lincoln had a good run. Then came Mr. Trump,” the Times editorial board argues: Of all the things President Trump has destroyed, the Republican Party is among the most dismaying. “Destroyed” is perhaps too simplistic, though. It would be more precise to say that Mr. Trump accelerated his party’s demise, exposing the rot that has been eating at its core for decades and leaving it a hollowed-out...
