Trump called Rep. Liz Cheney a "psycho" and "not the brightest person in the world" in an interview. The comments are Washington Examiner's David Drucker's new book. Trump also slammed Sens. Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell in the interview. Former President Donald Trump lobbed insults at Rep. Liz Cheney, an outspoken critic of his, in an interview with Washington Examiner's David Drucker for his new book, "In Trump's Shadow," released Tuesday. Trump told Drucker that the Wyoming Republican is "not the brightest person in the world" and that "she's a psycho." It's not the first time Trump has bad-mouthed Cheney....

Well known as is the Dutch heritage of New York City — the former New Amsterdam — fewer realize that the Low Countries’ writ in the New World for a brief time ran far down what is today styled the Mid-Atlantic coast, all the way to the lower Delaware River separating present-day New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “New Netherland” had swiped it just a few years before the events in this post from “New Sweden”. Before it all went over to the Anglosphere the aspirant imperial rival got a few executions in on these distant shores — as we see in...

... Powell was an ardent critic of Trump, particularly after the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack. He endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Following the attack on the Capitol, Powell said he could "no longer call myself a fellow Republican." “I do not know how he was able to attract all of these people. They should have known better, but they were so taken by their political standing and how none of them wanted to put themselves at political risk. They would not stand up and tell the truth or stand up and criticize him, or criticize others,”...

Credit: University of Central Lancashire ========================================================================== Whilst ice baths are popular with many athletes to aid recovery, new research published in the scientific journal Sports Sciences for Health suggests that many people might not see the expected benefits because they're not doing it correctly. The study, led by researchers from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), invited athletes, coaches and support practitioners to provide anonymous feedback about their current cold-water immersion (CWI) protocols. Out of the 111 respondents, most were involved in elite sport at international, national and club level, with many having used CWI previously and 78 percent finding...

Throughout the past eleven months since the stolen Presidential Election of 2020, Americans have been continually asking why nobody speaks for them. Where are their “Republican” Representatives, Senators, and Governors, who should be fighting this leftist onslaught, as it threatens to destroy every last remnant of Constitutional law and protection of American freedom and justice? The appalling answer is that they have actually been AWOL for much longer than just the past year. But until things came to the major current impasse, they were able to pretend to be on the side of the American people because they were absolutely...

Downing Street has warned of a “challenging” Winter ahead, suggesting that restrictions in reserve such as domestic vaccine passports could be imposed if the number of cases gets too high. While Professor Neil Ferguson has said that a Plan B may need to be implemented if Covid cases increase. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said on Monday said that they are expecting an increase in Chinese coronavirus in the coming months and will be keeping a “close watch” on the figures, with Government adviser Professor Andrew Hayward claiming there was “huge potential for the NHS to come under a lot...

While much of the international focus has remained on Iran's nuclear program, Tehran has steadily advanced another major instrument of instability, i.e., drones. For over a decade, the regime has sunk billions of dollars into the effort as part of its regional destabilization policy. To avoid more crises in hotspots like Lebanon and Syria, the international community must act now to curb Tehran's massive drone initiative. Let’s start with the facts. Despite crippling economic misfortune, Tehran has invested billions in drone production, in a bid to compensate for its failing Air Force. On October 6, 2021, a sweeping expositionon the...

NASA’s Lucy spacecraft deploying its solar arrays. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Following a successful launch on October 16, 2021, analysis of NASA’s Lucy spacecraft systems show the spacecraft is operating well and is stable. Lucy’s two solar arrays have deployed, and both are producing power and the battery is charging. While one of the arrays has latched, indications are that the second array may not be fully latched. All other subsystems are normal. In the current spacecraft attitude, Lucy can continue to operate with no threat to its health and safety. The team is analyzing spacecraft data to...

Polis said. “You can still privately get vaccinated without your parent or spouse knowing if that keeps the harmony in your family and you’re protecting yourself. It doesn’t mean you have to share that with those you live with.”

Georgia police on Wednesday identified a dead female robbery suspect who allegedly tried to rob two men at gunpoint inside a vehicle but was shot and killed by her own gun during a struggle.

A student at an $80,000-a-year ultra-liberal Oberlin College in Ohio claimed in an op-ed that he was left ‘angry, scared, and confused’ because ‘cisgender men’ installed a radiator in his ‘safe space’ dormitory

Republican House leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy believes there will be more retirements among Democrats leading up to the midterm elections in 2022, as they grapple with the likely possibility of losing their majorities in the next term. “Once you get past Thanksgiving and members go home, and they’re Democrats and they’ve been challenged before and they’re going to get beat up, Congress is not that great,” the Republican from California told Fox News. McCarthy’s prediction comes as two long-serving Democrats in the House, Reps. David Price (D-NC) and Mike Doyle (D-Penn.) announced their decision not to run for reelection in...

This is a Vanity request for information about how other countries are treating the jab. There is information in the public domain about other countries either discontinuing the jab, requiring further study, or providing prophylaxis treatment to their populations instead of the jab/vax. India, Japan, Norway and other Scandinavian countries, Sub-Saharan African countries... Any verifiable information would be helpful, but please cite where it came from or it's not helpful for this request. Also helpful would be verifiable (i.e. source cited) information about how the CCP virus really got started, and Fauci's role in it. And, as long as we're...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Africa’s rare glaciers will disappear in the next two decades because of climate change, a new report warned Tuesday amid sweeping forecasts of pain for the continent that contributes least to global warming but will suffer from it most. The report from the World Meteorological Organization and other agencies, released ahead of the U.N. climate conference in Scotland that starts Oct. 31, is a grim reminder that Africa’s 1.3 billion people remain “extremely vulnerable” as the continent warms more, and at a faster rate, than the global average. And yet Africa’s 54 countries are responsible for...

In the state of Victoria, Australia, Premier Daniel Andrews again affirmed his intent to keep all unvaccinated citizens isolated, marginalized and locked out of the economy deep into 2022. Simultaneously, Andrews warns the vaccinated citizens that if they attempt to avoid any booster shots, as determined by the state, the vaccinated will join the unvaccinated group in being locked down.Perhaps this threat will alarm the citizens that have been vaccinated. Just because they are compliant today, if the vaccinated class attempt to defy the government boosters 3, 4, 5, 6,… etc, they will be cast back into the second class...

Power shortages are turning out streetlights and shutting down factories in China. The poor in Brazil are choosing between paying for food or electricity. German corn and wheat farmers can’t find fertilizer, made using natural gas. And fears are rising that Europe will have to ration electricity if it’s a cold winter. The world is gripped by an energy crunch — a fierce squeeze on some of the key markets for natural gas, oil and other fuels that keep the global economy running and the lights and heat on in homes. Heading into winter, that has meant higher utility bills,...

As a pediatric dentist, I sometimes get questions from parents and patients about chewing ice. They generally want to know why some people enjoy doing it and whether it can harm teeth. Ice chewing or crunching may bother those seated around the table, but it's a soothing activity, especially for someone experiencing dry mouth. It may also help relieve stress or aid with relaxation. In some cases, people may chew ice to satisfy hunger cravings because it can mimic the sensation of eating without ingesting calories. For others, chomping on ice cubes may simply be a habit. Why it's dangerous...

The Democrats use the likes of David Brooks and Bill Kristol cynicallyFormer Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, in the recent Virginia gubernatorial debate against Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin, touted an odd endorsement: founder of the Weekly Standard and editor-at-large of the Bulwark, Bill Kristol. ‘I left a huge surplus when I left office. And that’s the reason so many Republicans have endorsed me — over two dozen prominent Republicans. Tonight, I have the leading conservative in America here, Bill Kristol, who has endorsed my campaign for governor,’ McAuliffe said. Any right-leaning politico couldn’t help but laugh at the notion that Kristol...
