Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says she's thinking about starting a family and has considered freezing her eggs. "I’m sitting here, I’m like, Do I freeze my eggs? Can I afford to do that?” the New York Democrat told Vanity Fair with a laugh in a cover story for the magazine's December issue, published Wednesday. “My orthodontist was telling me about how she was doing IVF, and I’m, like, asking her what her experience is like," Ocasio-Cortez said. The average cost of in vitro fertilization per cycle is between $12,000 and $17,000, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Freezing...

US President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly approved the sale of advanced F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets to Israel, Asharq Al-Awsat reported Friday. The Move said to come as part of efforts to maintain Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region after UAE is all set to get F-35’s from the US. According to the report, the announcement was made by US Defense Secretary Mark Esper during his recent visit to Israel. The US government also purportedly gave its nod to the selling of precision-guided munitions to the Israel Defense Forces. On Tuesday, Haaretz reported that Israel sought to procure...

Contrary to the prevailing wisdom among the cognoscenti, history and current circumstances suggest President Donald Trump is going to defeat former Vice President Joe Biden - for some of the very same reasons he came from behind in 2016 to shock the Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. It is understandable why conventional wisdom is getting this wrong again. Trump is down in the polls, the nation’s demographics are continuing to change in ways unfavorable to Trump and Republicans, the coronavirus has wrought death and economic destruction throughout the land and Trump’s personality provokes stormy oceans of antipathy - perhaps most...

Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany · President @realDonaldTrump officially takes the LEAD in ARIZONA Double exclamation markDouble exclamation markDouble exclamation mark

In 2016, I was not a Donald Trump fan. I’d fully planned on writing in some joke name or whatever because, well, I didn’t trust Trump. There was no way on God’s green earth I was ever going to vote for Hillary Clinton, and third parties are pathetic. I lived in Maryland, so I could justify it to myself as it not really mattering in the grand scheme of things – Maryland is so blue it would vote for Stalin. I also believed, as did most everyone else, that Clinton would win. In the primary, I was originally a Marco...

Tensions between France and Turkey continue to escalate. After Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for French President Emmanuel Macron to be sent "for a psychiatric examination following his hatred of Islam" the French president accused Turkey of "imperial aspirations", he said. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Macron attacked Turkey's behavior in the Middle East and described Turkey's intervention in Syria as "a surprise and aggressive act for its NATO allies." He added that "Ankara has not respected an arms embargo in Libya while taking a very aggressive approach" in the eastern Mediterranean. "I note that Turkey has imperial...

Screenshot from news8000 video, cropped and scaled by Dean Weingarten On Saturday Morning, from 8 a.m. to noon, 24 October, 2020, the La Crosse Wisconsin landfill accepted ammunition from people who did not want it, and wished to dispose of it with them, rather than giving it to neighbors or friends. La Crosse is located on the Mississippi river, and is in the heart of prime Wisconsin deer and pheasant hunting territory. Fox squirrels abound in the woodlots bordering the cornfields common in the Wisconsin countryside. Geese are so plentiful, they have become a pest. The Mississippi flyway brings large...

MANILA, Philippines — Demonic spirits can send text messages to cell phones and use modern technology to harass or lure people to the dark side. Fr. Jose Francisco Syquia, chief exorcist of the Archdiocese of Manila, also says receiving messages from demons is an experience common to priests helping possessed persons liberate themselves. “We did not expect [demons] could do so but if you ask other exorcists, they would tell you the same experience. Usually [the demons would swear at you] or say, ‘This person will never get away from us,’” he says in an interview. ..... But more than...

According to sources responsible for raising funds for the Republican Party, the biggest contributor to President Trump's reelection campaign is none other than the Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam. The two are expected to donate $250 million to Trump, senators and other Republican races, in an attempt to help the president be elected to another term on Tuesday and to keep the Senate in Republican hands. According to Republican sources, by October 14, the Adelsons had already donated a record $183 million. The two also formed an association called "Preserve America" ​​and donated $75 million to its...

Mr. King goes on to explain. “In 1987, when Joe Biden was running for president for the very first time, his campaign got swallowed up in a swarm of lies that [he] told about himself all over the country. First, Biden was caught plagiarizing a famous speech from, then, Britsh Labor Pary Leader Neil Kinnock — including parts of the speech that came straight from Kinnock’s personal life that were not true for Biden. “Then, he plagiarized yet another speech from the late Robert Kennedy and another from JFK and another from Hubert Humphrey … Soon, it was discovered that...

They are begging for him to stay in Columbus. They are pleading for him to stick around in State College. They are worried in East Lansing about a contract that’s set to expire in 14 months. Heck, even Indiana is planning on upsizing at their expense. Amid its sixth season, the Jim Harbaugh experience at Michigan has officially flipped. It began with carnival barker attention and overzealous amounts of Big Blue optimism. It teased within inches of national prominence on the infamous J.T. Barrett fourth-down play at Ohio State in 2016. But after No. 13 Michigan’s 27-24 home loss to...

This week is probably one of the most important weeks since the founding of our nation. It is a week that can only be described like the week leading up to that summer day in 1787 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where delegates from 13 colonies came together. They had all decided it was important now to work out all the specifics, all the details that were going to take this Republic into the future. They were tired, aggravated, many of them coming with their own agendas for their own colonies. The convention was in danger of ending with nothing...

Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.), one of seven openly gay members of the U.S. House, has been found in a surprise poll made public Thursday to be trailing his Republican challenger in the 2020 election. The poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center between Oct. 24-31, found 50 percent of likely voters in New Hampshire’s 1st congressional district would back Matt Mowers, the Republican candidate, compared to the 48 percent who said they support Pappas. Two percent said they back Libertarian candidate Zachary Dumont and less than 1 percent were undecided... https://www.washingtonblade.com/2020/10/31/in-surprise-poll-gay-congressman-trails-republican-challenger/

Peaceful participants at a rally in a small North Carolina city to turn out the vote ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election were pepper-sprayed by law enforcement officials on Saturday, according to videos broadcast online and witnesses. Videos showed officers firing pepper spray into the crowd in Graham, a city of about 15,000 located about 40 miles from Raleigh-Durham. North Carolina is a crucial battleground state in the Nov. 3 contest between Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The Graham Police Department said officers took action after participants at the rally failed to obey warnings to disperse....

Biden Misses His Intro from Obama

As we enter the final stretch of the most important election in a generation, maybe ever, we are seeing the integrity of our political process being destroyed by the liberal Big Tech Elite. Imagine now you’re at the Super Bowl, we’re deep into the fourth quarter and your team trails by four points. It’s fourth and goal, your quarterback is about to call the game-defining play when suddenly some geeky guy walks on the field and takes the football away.Now imagine you’re at the World Series, it’s the bottom of the ninth in game seven and the score is tied....

New Jersey Women For Trump was removed without explanation or warning, according to the private group's administrator. A private Facebook group with nearly 30,000 members was removed without warning or explanation on Saturday, just a few days before the election. The group, New Jersey Women for Trump, has started a new page for now but is reaching out to both Facebook as well as local legislators to see if they can get their page back in time to make an impact on Tuesday. According to NJ: On Saturday morning there were more than 29,000 members in a private Facebook group...

Only seven M.P.s who voted with honor and integrity against criminalizing parents who may want to obtain body-affirming counseling for their gender-confused children. On October 28, the Trudeau Liberals succeeded in passing 2nd reading of Bill C-6 by vote of 308 to 7. Sadly, many Conservatives joined with the Liberals to vote in a politically correct manner so as to avoid being called “homophobic.” We thank the seven M.P.s who voted with honor and integrity against criminalizing parents who may want to obtain body-affirming counseling for their gender-confused children: M.P. Derek Sloan (Hastings-Lennox and Addington, ON) M.P. Arnold Viersen (Peace...

Vietnam’s leadership this year of a Southeast Asian negotiating bloc has opened a door to bolster its defense against longtime rival China through stronger relations with the West, experts say. The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad, a U.S.-led grouping that also includes Australia, India and Japan, invited Vietnam to join talks on COVID-19 and economic impacts in March, and its members have conferred with Vietnamese officials regularly since then. U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo finished his five-nation Asia visit with a stop in Vietnam Friday. He praised the host country’s “sovereignty” when he met Friday with Foreign Minister Pham...
