"It’s preposterous," he told host Harris Faulkner, noting that he has agreed to six specific debates — including one that would have been held Friday — while Fetterman's campaign has not made any specific offers on dates or locations. "John Fetterman has agreed to precisely zero debates. He doesn’t have the interest of the voters at hand. He’s dodging because he doesn’t want to debate me." Fetterman, whose health has become an issue in recent months, responded by saying, "But let’s be clear, this has never really been about debates for Dr. Oz. This whole thing has been about Dr....

NEW — Steve Bannon just broke that at least 35 Trump Allies had their homes raided yesterday by the FBI

Officials in New York are mulling a bill that would mandate speed limiters in new vehicles that would be set to the local maximum allowable limit. The system would use GPS and traffic sign recognition technology to determine the speed limit. The system has an appropriately benign and Orwellian name: Active Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Senate Bill S9528 was introduced by Manhattan State Senator Brad Hoylman on Aug. 12 and, if passed, would require any vehicle manufactured or registered in the state of New York to be fitted with the ISA system, starting from Jan. 1, 2024. It cites the...

The arrest of a Democratic public official in Las Vegas for allegedly murdering a journalist shocked the nation, but news networks went out of their way to bury his party affiliation. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, who was fatally stabbed in front of his home on Saturday. German's reporting had exposed scandals that plagued Telles, including a hostile work environment and an extramarital affair with a staffer, which was followed by his reelection defeat during a Democratic primary held in June.

The global shift to cleaner sources of energy is not yet a casualty of Russia's war in Ukraine, according to new research showing power generation has become less carbon-intensive, and clean energy investment has climbed since the conflict started. European nations that led the transition away from fossil fuels in recent years now find themselves scrambling to secure new sources of natural gas ahead of winter as Russia squeezes supply lines. In one of her first major policy announcements, new British Prime Minister Liz Truss promised to approve more North Sea oil drilling, and lift a ban on fracking to...

Spatial Distribution of NGC 346 Stars Annotated - The massive star cluster NGC 346, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, has long intrigued astronomers with its unusual shape. Now researchers using two separate methods have determined that this shape is partly due to stars and gas spiraling into the center of this cluster in a river-like motion. The red spiral superimposed on NGC 346 traces the movement of stars and gas toward the center. Scientists say this spiraling motion is the most efficient way to feed star formation from the outside toward the center of the cluster. Credit: NASA, ESA,...

The former principal of a middle school in Savage who was arrested in an underage prostitution sting intends to accept a plea deal, pending a judge’s approval. Mohamed Ali Selim, 38, entered a petition to plead guilty during a court hearing Friday morning. The deal still needs a judge’s approval but would result in Selim getting 16 more days in jail with work release, 30 days in a sentencing to service program and requires him to complete a psychosexual evaluation and follow any recommendations. Additionally, it would include a stay of imposition on up to three years of probation, which...

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - A Florida man unknowingly picked up a slithery hitchhiker on his way home from work. David Harrison says he was driving home when he found the snake on his windshield – but this isn't the first time something like this has happened. About a week ago he says he found a chicken on the hood of his truck. While Harrison says he's seen his fair share of wild animals, he says the snake takes the cake!

President Donald Trump's former White House lawyer Ty Cobb called the ex-president "a deeply wounded narcissist" who is "incapable" of acting out of anything other than self-interest in an interview with CBS News' Major Garrett. Garrett pressed Cobb, who worked in the White House as a special counsel to Trump in 2017 and 2018 and represented the former president during his first impeachment, about Trump's refusal to admit he lost the 2020 election. "Do you regard that as a defect in his character?" Garrett asked. "My personal view is that it's less a character issue than a personality defect," Cobb...

Recent political polling tells us that 36% of white college-educated women who are registered Democrats believe that “some men can get pregnant.” This is markedly higher than the 29% of white non-educated college women who believe this. It is certainly interesting that non-college educated women have a better understanding of basic human reproduction than their more educated college-graduate sisters.

Check out how the "reporters" seem a bit miffed at James over the video he released in which a Democrat Senate candidate said: “My district is slightly Republican and it’s heavily white. I’m no stranger to white people, I’m from a mostly white town. And let me tell you one thing, you oughta know who you’re dealing with, like, you gotta treat them like shit, like I mean, that’s the only way they respect you.” and “I keep them right here, like under my thumbs. That’s where I keep it, like, you have to, otherwise they get outta control like...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “New Day” that President Joe Biden mocking Republicans at a DNC event Thursday night is an example of “what a good retail politician” he is. Biden said, “We also passed a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s roads, highways, bridges, railroads, ports, airports, water system, high-speed Internet. We got a little help from Republicans, but not a lot, but enough to get it passed. But the truth is, there were a lot more Republicans taking credit for that bill than we actually voted for it. I see them out there. ‘And now we’re going...

Scott Ritter, [9/9/2022 7:19 AM] [ Video ] Scott Ritter, [9/9/2022 7:40 AM] Some Comments on the Military Situation in Ukraine as of September 9, 2022 I have been asked to comment on the situation in eastern-southern Ukraine following the commencement of a major counteroffensive by the Ukrainian armed forces (UAF). Given the fluidity of the situation on the ground, I will avoid trying to conduct a detailed analysis of the specific actions that have taken place, are taking place, and will take place. I am thousands of miles removed from the battlefield and am in receipt of incomplete and...

Thwaites Glacier — otherwise known as the “Doomsday glacier,” due to the fact it could raise the sea level by several feet — is allegedly hanging on “by its fingernails.” Scientists discovered that the glacier’s underwater base has been eroding due to the increase in the Earth’s temperature, according to a study published in Nature Geoscience. “Thwaites is really holding on today by its fingernails,” said Robert Larter, a marine geophysicist who co-authored the study. “And we should expect to see big changes over small timescales in the future — even from one year to the next — once the...

Brigham Young University announced Friday morning that, following an "extensive" investigation, there has been no evidence to corroborate an allegation made by a Duke women’s volleyball player that she was subjected to racial slurs during a game at BYU last month. The Cougars athletics department released a lengthy statement summarizing its investigation into an Aug. 26 incident where Duke player Rachel Richardson claimed she was "targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match," which then evolved into "threats." Richardson alleged that BYU officials and coaches were made "aware of the incident" at the time but failed to act....

On Aug. 2, I watched as a majority of voters in the county where I grew up (Seward County) in rural Kansas — a county that went for Trump by 29 points in 2020 — voted against the proposed constitutional amendment that would allow for an abortion ban. Statewide, voters rejected the ban by a stunning double-digit margin. I am part of a new generation of Latina leaders in Democratic politics, and there’s buzz in progressive circles about that vote in Kansas. It boosted optimism for the 2022 election, with good reason — if we understand the right lessons.

Nevada Republican Gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo posted a political advertisement to Twitter on Thursday, detailing various scandals involving Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak. “Northshore Steve is the most corrupt governor in America. Nevada, we deserve better than Steve Sisolak’s corruption, cronyism, and scandals,” Clark County Sheriff Lombardo said of the vulnerable incumbent.

Maybe Gavin Newsom should spend more time worrying about his own state than trying to pick fights with governors from other states. Especially when one of the most popular cities in his state, San Francisco, looks like THIS. Michael Shellenberger shared videos of San Fran right now … keep in mind this is what decades of Democrat policies and leadership has led to, especially when you vote in this year’s midterms. Watch this.
