Twitter backed down Friday in its battle with The Post and unlocked its main account after a two-week stalemate over the Hunter Biden exposé. The move came after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence — were based on hacked information. The Post never budged, and kept the tweets on the account during the standoff.

Explanation: On Halloween fear and dread will stalk your night skies, also known as Phobos and Deimos the moons of Mars. The 2020 opposition of Mars was on October 13, so the Red Planet will still rise shortly before sunset. Near Halloween's Full Moon on the sky, its strange yellowish glow will outshine other stars throughout the night. But the two tiny Martian moons are very faint and in close orbits, making them hard to spot, even with a small telescope. You can find them in this carefully annotated composite view though. The overexposed planet's glare is reduced and orbital...

An Illinois judge ruled Friday that a teenager accused of fatally shooting two people and wounding a third in August during a night of unrest in Kenosha, Wis., should be extradited to the Wisconsin city to face homicide charges. Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Ill., was in a courtroom hours earlier for a Friday morning court hearing unshackled, wearing a blue button-down shirt, a dark tie and a face mask. Defense lawyers indicated before the hearing in Waukegan that they would call witnesses, including Rittenhouse’s mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, to try to block his extradition. But they didn't, instead focusing on...

Reading Jill Biden's old interviews in light of the recent revelations regarding the Biden Crime Syndicate and the Biden family's cringeworthy relationships to each other, brings everything she ever said into question. Since Jill began allegedly cheating on her first husband, Bill Stevenson, with Joe Biden around 1974, the Bidens' whole lives have been a lie. Their "we met on a blind date in 1975" love story, so central to the Biden family fiction, has always been a sham, sanitized for public consumption. After forty-three years of marriage to Lyin' Joe, with all the ill-gotten financial gain she enjoyed at...

Now, a study published Friday in the journal Science has shown that the genetic diversity in modern dogs can be traced back to the end of the last Ice Age, linking Fido and Rex to ancient canine populations. Researchers studied DNA extracted from bones from ancient dogs for clues to evolutionary changes that occurred thousands of years ago, and found that just after the Ice Age, there were at least five types of dog with distinct genetic ancestries. They found that dog lineages have "mixed and combined," and are still present in the dogs of today. ... And while modern...

In Minnesota, polls show a tight race between President Trump and Joe Biden. This has Democrats worried; in 2016, the last October poll showed Hillary Clinton with an 11-point lead, and she carried the state by a point and a half. That was remarkable, in view of the fact that in 2016, the Trump campaign allotted $50,000 to Minnesota, according to Mick Mulvaney. This year, the campaign is spending millions, most significantly on voter turnout efforts. The most tangible evidence that Minnesota is in play is the fact that Joe Biden has added a stop in St. Paul to his...

Time Magazine announces ‘The Great Reset’ to usher in world socialism The subtitle for the Time feature proposes a special occasion of the present moment for such an initiative, asserting 'The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to think about the kind of future we want… to share ideas for how to transform the way we live and work.' October 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Time magazine has devoted an entire issue to promoting an initiative called “The Great Reset,” referred to by one commentator as “the Green New Deal on steroids” which will seek to “advance socialist ideals, including the destruction of capitalism and individual...

Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, criticized the Democratic Party on Thursday, claiming it has become a "party of coastal elites." Sanders made the comments while appearing on Late Night With Seth Myers. The host acknowledged that the Democratic Party has gotten away from America's working class over the years, to which Sanders nodded his head in agreement. If Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the November 3 election, Myers then asked, what should Biden do to "bring the Democratic Party back to serving the working people in this country?" "I think it is fair to say that in many...

MADISON, WI—While most costumed trick-or-treaters expect candy during their Halloween hunting, several Democrat households are planning to get Joe Biden across the finish line by handing out extra ballots instead. "This is an excellent addition to my normal line-up of raisins and carrot sticks," said local Democrat operative Collin Frump. "There are literally thousands of these ballots lying around everywhere, and we need to get Kamala Harris elected to save our country from fascism!" "Hey, kids! Have you or your parents voted for Joe Biden yet?" Frump said to a witch, an Iron Man, and a mermaid at his door....

TFP: Resist Pope Who Betrays Christian West Manifesto denounces Francis for favoring destroyers of civilization ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - In an unprecedented move, faithful Catholics are calling for resistance against "the policies pursued by Pope Francis that threaten the West's integrity, security and cultural identities." LGBT pride parade blasphemes the Blessed Virgin Mary Lambasting the pontiff for orphaning the Christian West and favoring "those attacking the West with unparalleled intensity," Catholics on five continents from the Instituto Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira and its sister organization Tradition, Family, Property (TFP), are urging the faithful to "resist a pope who abandons the Christian West."

Thousands of voters in Butler County, Pennsylvania, said have they never received their ballots. Nearly 40,000 registered voters in the county requested mail-in ballots, but only about 24 percent of them have been returned back to the county so far, authorities said. ———snip——- Butler County voted for President Donald Trump over Democrat rival Hillary Clinton in 2016 about 66 percent to 29 percent. The county is located north of Pittsburgh and has approximately 150,000 registered voters.

During the confirmation hearings for Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made this remarkable comment: “At the end of this sordid chapter in the history of the Senate, in the history of the Supreme Court, my deepest and greatest sadness is for the American people. Generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences of this nomination.” To the contrary, as a consequence of her nomination, future generations will have a much better chance of making it from unborn to born. Talk about a massive misstatement.Yes, instead of having generations of children who remain unborn after conception because of...

Hackers stole $2.3 million from the Wisconsin Republican Party intended for President Donald Trump's reelection effort, state party officials confirmed to ABC News Thursday. "Cybercriminals, using a sophisticated phishing attack, stole funds intended for the re-election of President Trump, altered invoices and committed wire fraud," Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt said in a statement.

(CNN) Two icons of their sports have endorsed President Donald Trump for reelection. NFL great Brett Favre and NHL star Bobby Orr publicly lent their support to the President's campaign on Friday, making them among the most prominent figures in sports to do so. Golf icon Jack Nicklaus said on Thursday that he had voted for Trump and encouraged others to do the same.

Authorities have uncovered an attempt to register dozens of dead people as Democratic voters in Broward County. Though officials said no mail-in ballots were requested or cast under the falsified voter IDs, the scheme exposes weaknesses in Florida’s voter registration process, which relies partially on the honor system. An unknown person in Columbia, S.C., submitted at least 54 new voter applications in July in the same neat handwriting to the Broward elections office, several in each of 19 envelopes. Many of the voters were elderly, and had recently died in the Northeast. Almost all of them were flagged by Broward...

Nobody knows how the election will turn out, but we can say with confidence that this is the first election where so many trusted authorities in our country have tried to tip the scales so hard. Regardless of the outcome, the partisan unfairness we have seen through this election cycle will further erode what we need most in our country: a renewal of trust. Trust is down in almost every national institution. When the people don't trust government, private business, educational institutions and the media, our country becomes less stable. But those bemoaning the erosion of trust spend little time...

CNN has informed a pro-Trump group that they will not run an ad on their network because it falsely claims Joe Biden will raise taxes on the middle class. The ad, from America First Action (AFA), the largest outside group to support the President, also asserts Nancy Pelosi promotes socialist policies, something the network also states is false. Despite the ad being approved on several major networks, Warner Media, which owns CNN, issued an email to the group stating their political ad “does not meet its commercial clearance standards.” “The ad asserts that Biden will raise taxes on the middle...

Yet another brain freeze from Former Vice President Joe Biden went viral Friday — a clip from an October 24 rally speech in Dallas, Pennsylvania, where he bizarrely failed to read the phrase “true international pressure” from his teleprompter. The disturbing moment, which went unnoticed until the Trump campaign isolated it on social media, came nearly ten minutes into Biden’s stump speech. “I’ll lead an effective strategy to mobilize truaninonashufodopressure,” he shouted to an audience in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. “I’ll do what he’s unable to do. I’ll lead an effective strategy to mobilize true international pressure, isolate and punish China,”...
