Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told "FOX News Sunday" that Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin is wrong that it is time for the U.S. to "imagine" a world without our longtime alliance with Saudi Arabia. "The senator has got it completely wrong. This is about putting the American people first, and to put the American people first means a deep, important security relationship with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as we've had for decades," Pompeo said.

...Texas voting law previously banned wearing political shirts of any kind to the polls. But a group of firefighters in Houston took the clothing rule to court in 2018 after they were asked to leave a polling location for wearing T-shirts that supported a proposition that didn’t appear on the ballot that year. After a lengthy legal battle, the federal judge ruled in favor of the firefighters. Now, voters are allowed to wear political shirts supporting a candidate or measure — so long as they do not appear on the ballot in the current election. “For example, if somebody wants...

Vaccines chief may have been cut out of White House-Pfizer loop on early trial data for Omicron-targeting booster, recalling White House making original booster decision. The FDA is getting feisty as a cascade of early research on the effectiveness of COVID-19 bivalent boosters, which were authorized without human data, intersects with embarrassing headlines about "rebound" infections for highly inoculated federal officials. Public health officials stand to get even more defensive amid revelations that Pfizer is sharing undisclosed booster efficacy data with the White House and that boosters may actually weaken immune systems' ability to fight COVID. Center for Biologics Evaluation...

Originally, this piece was going to be something of a call to arms for my readers—for this Truth Community at large—to get out and vote in tomorrow’s absolutely essential Midterm Elections. Ultimately, I reconsidered. Not because that message isn’t important—and we will revisit it before the end—but because it would be too simple, condescending and, frankly insulting to this audience. Of course you know you need to get out and vote tomorrow and, as I explored in detail in my last special feature, ‘Lay of the Land,’ you also know that voting is of the utmost importance even IF the...

A new study finds that following up a cardiac event, such as a heart attack, with a statin prescription and cholesterol measuring blood test, prevents 94% of patients from having or dying from a second cardiovascular event during the next three years. Having one cardiac event, like a heart attack or stroke, puts a person at high risk of having a second one. One in five people who have a heart attack will be re-admitted to the hospital for a second one within five years What can clinicians do to mitigate that risk? "We already know that these patients are...

Prominent organizations including the World Health Organization and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have dismissed low-carbohydrate diets that prevent tooth decay in favor of recommending high-carbohydrate diets which rely on fluoride and food fortification to mitigate dental damage and nutritional shortcomings, a researcher says. Dr. Philippe Hujoel says that not only these organizations but other associations reversed earlier positions and began recommending high-carbohydrate diets. Specifically, he cites the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, and the American Dental Association (ADA). In the meantime, Dr. Hujoel says, some scientists provided compelling evidence that low-carbohydrate diets were at least as beneficial...

A mother has shared her devastation after she invited 27 children to her daughter's third birthday party - only for none of them to show up. Mom-of-three Breanna Strong, 27, from Salt Lake City, Utah, threw what she thought would be a massive celebration for her daughter, Avery, at KidsTopia Playground - a 'jungle-themed indoor playground' with giant slides, ball pits, and tunnels. She ordered pizzas, an intricate Frozen-themed cake, and tons more goodies, expecting at least some of the 27 kids she had invited to come. However, she was left devastated for her three-year-old daughter when not one of...

Nancy Pelosi revealed that she never expected her husband Paul would have been the one in her family attacked when Capitol Police woke her in the middle of the night. The House Speaker also said that the attack would affect her political future after the 2022 midterms – even though she has continuously refused to comment before the incident on the prospects of remaining in House leadership if Democrats lose a majority. In her first television interview since her 82-year-old husband suffered skull fractures in the hammer attack, Pelosi told CNN she was 'scared' when she heard the doorbell and...

Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter's foreign business deals while he was Vice President, a new whistleblower with direct knowledge claims. The whistleblower has identified themselves to Senate investigators but asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.

The Spring 2012 call was about Hunter, Key and Jeff's new venture into online gambling in Latin America, the...

Zeldin, R-N.Y., shared the video in a Tuesday tweet, showing Naked Cowboy, whose real name is Robert John Burck, singing a customized song for the GOP candidate while performing with a guitar wrapped with Zeldin's name.

Michigan voters are accustomed to getting election results on election night but that won't be the case this Tuesday night. It may be 24 hours after the polls close that we will know who won in some key races and this could create another debate over who really won. "I am really worried about what is going to happen on election night," said Richard Czuba. Czuba, a Michigan pollster, with Glengariff, is not alone. The person in charge of running a smooth, fair, and accurate election is worried as well - on two fronts. First, about potential distractions in and...

Trump to make big announcement Nov 15th at Mar a Lago

Clackamas County Clerk Sherry Hall will release preliminary election results just after 8 p.m. Tuesday, but won’t update tallies again for another 22 hours. That runs counter to historical precedent and differs significantly from the plans of other county election officials, who indicated they’ll release updated results multiple times on election night. Hall’s decision to update tallies less frequently than other counties could delay the results of key races including the three-way race for governor, the nationally watched Congressional District 5 race between Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer and two important races for the Clackamas County Commission, among...

The person remains unidentified.
