WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) ─ Senate Democrats are taking a different approach to try and convince their Republican colleagues to come back to the negotiating table for additional COVID-19 relief. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland, said Americans need Congress to take action sooner rather than later. “I think the way forward here is to attach a negotiated emergency COVID-19 relief bill to the bill that we need to pass to keep the government operating,” he suggested. “Let’s just get together and figure out a way forward.” Funding for the federal government expires on Dec. 11, and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, said the...

A news briefing by President Donald Trump's legal team outlining details of his challenges to the Nov. 3 election was summarily dismissed Thursday by Fox News, whose reporter ostensibly called lawyer Rudy Giuliani a liar. Without any independent verification, Fox News' White House correspondent Kristin Fisher claimed Giuliani's statements were "light on facts," "baseless," or "simply not true." "That was certainly a colorful news conference from Rudy Giuliani, but it was light on facts," Fisher said in her report. "So much of what he said was simply not true or has already been thrown out in court." Trump lawyers Giuliani,...

The Daily Beast tried to gin up controversy with an ‘exposé’ on Representative-elect Madison Cawthorn, whose lone crime appears to be sharing his Christianity with others. The column, written by Pilar Melendez, begins with a headline that screams: “Newly Elected GOP Congressman Madison Cawthorn Has Tried to Convert Jews to Christianity.” “Madison Cawthorn … has admitted he tried to convert Jews and Muslims to Christianity,” Melendez wrote. Many social media followers lambasted the Daily Beast’s feeble attempt at shaming Cawthorn for his religious beliefs.

A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump rejected what he called a “creative” lawsuit on Thursday. It was a suit that Georgia’s assistant attorney general warned would cause the Peach State’s largest disenfranchisement since the Jim Crow era.“To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and disenfranchisement that I find have no basis in fact and law,” U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg declared at the end of a roughly two-and-a-half hour hearing.The celebrity attorney making the breathtaking request was L. Lin Wood, Jr., who also represented former U.S. Congressman Gary Condit and the alleged victim...

BREAKING: Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court judge ruled that 2,349 absentee ballots in Allegheny County where the voter didn't date their declaration are invalid, reversing a lower court judge. This is a Trump win.— Kambree (@KamVTV) November 19, 2020

“I didn’t leave the Democratic Party,” Ronald Reagan famously said, “the Democratic Party left me.” The Republican coalition that won 49-state landslides in 1972 and again in 1984 was as much a reflection of the Democrats as it was of Richard Nixon’s and Reagan’s GOP. In the 1960s, the hard left took over the Democratic Party...and ran it into the ground. They mocked Americans’ commitment to defeating communism in the Cold War while romanticizing socialist tyrants. They embraced draft dodgers and spat on American soldiers returning home from war. They supported violent rioters over the police and National Guardsman trying...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators have authorized emergency use of another COVID-19 treatment, the anti-inflammatory drug baricitinib, to be used in combination with a drug already used to treat severely ill, hospitalized patients. The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday cleared the new use for Eli Lilly’s pill baricitinib plus remdesivir for hospitalized adults and children two years and older requiring oxygen or ventilation therapy. Remdesivir is the first and only drug approved by FDA to treat COVID-19. The emergency clearance for baricitinib acts as a preliminary approval until more data is available showing the drug works for COVID-19. The...

Pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and partner BioNTech will seek emergency government approval for their coronavirus vaccine on Friday, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said, paving the way for millions of doses to be distributed within 24 hours. “We will ship millions of doses of vaccine within 24 hours of FDA approval. So my message is hope and help are on the way,” Aazar said Thursday as he announced the pending emergency use application during a White House coronavirus task force briefing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge is temporarily blocking the federal government’s plan to execute the first female death row inmate in almost six decades after her attorneys contracted the coronavirus visiting her in prison. The order, handed down Thursday by U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington, prohibits the federal Bureau of Prisons from carrying out Lisa Montgomery’s execution before the end of the year. She was scheduled to be put to death on Dec. 8 at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. Montgomery’s attorneys had sought to delay the execution in order to file a clemency...

Wife showed me a Facebook post, but that's it.anything?

I’ve never set foot on my elite women’s college campus, but that didn’t save me from my enraged peers when I announced, “If you support Trump, you are my friend. If you support Biden, you are my friend. If you feel the need to degrade those who feel differently from you...maybe we aren’t friends.” That’s all I said on my Instagram story, yet execrable messages began trickling into my direct messages from my peers. I was told that I was a part of the problem, and that nobody wanted to be friends with me. I was accused of believing that...

In a meeting with governors, Joe Biden expressed concern Thursday that President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attempt to block the peaceful transition of power at the White House has hindered the flow of information about programs to fast-track a coronavirus vaccine. “Unfortunately, my administration hasn’t been able to get everything we need,” the president-elect said during a video conference with the National Governors Association’s leadership team, which includes five Republicans and four Democrats. He specifically cited “Operation Warp Speed,” the federal government’s partnership with private pharmaceutical companies to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. Biden promised state leaders that he would “make sure...

Experts found that tens of thousands of people in nursing homes "have died from neglect and sorrow related to the pandemic," according to an eye-opening report from the Associated Press. The report stated that there have been more than 97,000 residents of U.S. nursing homes who have died during the coronavirus pandemic. A nursing home expert analyzed 15,000 U.S. long-term care facilities and estimates that for every two coronavirus victims in nursing homes, there is a person who died prematurely of other causes. The report stated that the "excess deaths" in nursing homes could total over 40,000 since March. "Interviews...

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Thursday on “The Axe Files” podcast that President Donald Trump’s claims of voter fraud seem dubious because “the president said before the election that if he were to lose, it would be because of voter fraud.” Romney said, “At this stage, we haven’t heard any evidence of a widespread voter fraud effort that would result in a change in the outcome of the election.”

While traditional diamonds are formed over billions of years deep in the Earth where extreme pressures and temperatures provide just the right conditions to crystalize carbon, scientists are working on more expedient ways of forging the precious stones. An international team of researchers has succeeded in whittling this process down to mere minutes, demonstrating a new technique where they not only form quickly, but do so at room temperature. The team applied pressure equal to 640 African elephants on the tip of a ballet shoe, doing so in a way that caused an unexpected reaction among the the carbon atoms...

Most experts agree that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under a prospective Biden administration (and a new FCC Chairman) will look to implement Title II net neutrality regulations on internet carriers despite no clear evidence on why such restrictions are needed. While Biden didn’t prioritize the issue during his campaign, net neutrality is an idea that is near and dear to the hearts of many in the Democratic Party. The FCC implemented the Title II rules under Obama-era chairman Tom Wheeler in 2015, with current Chairman Ajit Pai leading the commission to overturn the regulations in 2017. U.S. providers have...
