NATIONAL CAPPUCCINO DAY National Cappuccino Day on November 8th whips up a frothy, hot cup of cappuccino. It’s a perfect drink on a frosty morning, meeting with friends or just to enjoy a creamy cuppa. #CappuccinoDay Traditionally prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam, a cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink. The word cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars and is the diminutive form of cappuccio in Italian, meaning hood or something that covers the head. This popular coffee beverage got its name not from the hood on their habits but from the color of the hooded robes...

Republicans currently have 212 seats in the House of Representatives, so even a 20 seat gain would about equal the House majorities of 1994 (Republican), 2002 (Republican), 2006 (Democrat) and 2018 (Democrat) - see below historical figures. A 25-30 seat gain (the average midterm gain) would exceed those figures. And a 35-40 seat gain would equal or exceed the 2014 majority high mark. 2018 - 235 seat Democrat majority (D +41) 2014 - 247 seat Republican majority (R +13) 2010 - 242 seat Republican majority (R +63) 2006 - 233 seat Democrat majority (D +31) 2002 - 229 seat Republican...

Monday, FNC’s Tucker Carlson said with Democrats and their like-minded allies in the media sounding the alarms of “misinformation” as Election Day approached was a show of “panic.” According to the Fox News Channel host, it was a sign Democrats were on their way to a defeat in this year’s midterms.

I voted this morning, did you?

Nancy Pelosi has claimed that her husband Paul was attacked inside their San Francisco home because she is 'very effective', describing herself as 'outstanding' - even as she hinted the break-in may encourage her to retire. In her first television interview since her 82-year-old husband suffered skull fractures in the hammer attack, Pelosi told CNN that he had part of his skull removed and reshaped during surgery - describing it as a 'pretty serious operation'. Holding back tears at times, Pelosi told Anderson Cooper that she was 'traumatized' by the fact that her husband was injured as a result of...

President Biden’s approval rating slipped to 39 percent, according to a new poll, as his party seeks to hold on to power in Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections. The Reuters-Ipsos survey released late Monday found that the president’s approval rating dropped 1 point compared to polls conducted in mid-October and last week. Democrats are seeking to avoid a historical trend that typically sees the president’s party lose seats in Congress during the midterm elections, but Republicans appear poised to retake the majority in the House. The race for control of the Senate is highly competitive, and a few key races...

Eight years ago WTP watched Catherine Englebecht of True The Vote' The woman has spine and fights.

Oleg Kozhemyako, the governor of Primorsky Krai in the Russian Far East, has published videos on his Telegram channel, ostensibly showing marines from the 155th Brigade and fighters of the Tigr Battalion outside Pavlivka. The servicemen deny heavy losses and say they are “alright” and that the Russian forces are faring well. “There have been reports that the 155th Brigade, our detachment, no longer exists. We want to say we’re holding the line. The brigade is fighting. There have been losses, unfortunately. Fighting is heavy in Pavlivka. It's tough. We’ve lost a few men, wounded and killed. But we keep...

This is fantastic news! nteractive polls released the following data from The Trafalgar Group, Data for Progress, Rich Baris, and Emerson Polling. Blake Masters leads in all four by as many as 1.5 points. Kari Lake also leads in every poll. Kari Lake held a 10-point lead in several recent polls, including an 11-point lead in the recent FOX 10 poll from Arizona. The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday that the Republican slate in Arizona is winning in the polls, with Kari Lake holding a steady lead over Katie Hobbs. Abe Hamadeh also holds a steady lead over his radical left...

GOP Arizona Sec. of State Candidate Mark Finchem sounded off on Newsmax about claims of election denialism after Sec. of State Katie Hobbs pressed upon the narrative. "These are folks who are pretending there is evidence that doesn't exist, and they're going to continue to be misled by these leaders," said Hobbs. "But I know that I did my job, and I followed the law." Hobbs refused to recuse herself from overseeing the state's election. Some wonder if that is a conflict of interest because she is running for governor against Republican Kari Lake.

In late October, near the village of Pavlivka in the annexed part of Ukraine’s Donetsk region, heavy fighting broke out between Russian and Ukrainian forces. On November 5, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that it had “defeated" Ukrainian forces on the southern Donetsk front; the following day, however, multiple Russian “war correspondents” posted a message from marines in the 155th Brigade of Russia's Pacific Fleet who took part in the offensive. The marines alleged that their unit had lost approximately 300 people and half of their equipment in just four days. They asked Oleg Kozhemyako, governor of Russia’s Primorsky Krai,...

Their commitment to denying reality and attacking American children is unsustainable (thank goodness). I have a suggestion for the next election: During the primaries, ask candidates just one question, a question that will reveal everything you, and all the other voters, need to know about that candidate: “Where do you stand on bringing gender identity issues into schools?” It’s an important question because I firmly believe that the Democrats, by committing 100% to the whole so-called “transgender” issue, have chosen the wrong issue. Americans love their children, and that love will transcend all other issues. As always, Libs of TikTok...

A growing percentage of Americans with auto loans are struggling to make their monthly payments. Subprime borrowers in particular are feeling the impact of higher prices for both new and used vehicles. The rise in delinquencies also follows the end of loan-accommodation programs set up during the pandemic. With inflation cutting into the budgets of Americans, a growing percentage of people with auto loans are struggling to make their monthly payments. TransUnion, which tracks more than 81 million auto loans in the U.S., said Tuesday the percentage of loans that are at least 60 days delinquent hit 1.65% in the...

The Wuhan Institute of Virology, the cutting-edge biotech facility at the center of swirling suspicions about the pandemic’s onset, was far more troubled than previously known, explosive documents unearthed by a Senate research team reveal. Following the trail of evidence, Vanity Fair and ProPublica provide the clearest picture yet of a laboratory institute in crisis.

Barack Obama’s older half-brother Malik Obama has broken his silence and called on Americans to “vote Republican” in tomorrow’s critical midterm elections. In a post to his over 200,000 Twitter followers, Malik Obama turned against his Democrat ex-president brother and urged voters to back the GOP “up and down the ticket.” He also asked Elon Musk to restore President Donald Trump’s account on Twitter. Malik said: “We are Republican we vote Republican.” “Vote Republican up and down the ticket!” “Mr. Elon Musk. Put President Trump back on Twitter,” he added. ... As Slay News reported earlier, Musk apparently agrees with...

It looks like the Republicans come January will control both houses of Congress. The government will still be divided, so neither party will make any big legislative changes in the next two years. The president will no doubt use executive orders to get around Congress to push the Dems’ agenda, but such tinkering is hostage to the next president. So what should the Republicans do for the next two years? We know what they shouldn’t do, and that’s indulge in happy talk about “bipartisanship” or “reaching across the aisle” or trying “to get things done.” The Democrats have swung so...

At 9:33 p.m., anchor Bret Baier declared, “We are now ready to make one of the biggest calls of the night. The Fox News Decision Desk can now project the Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives for the first time in eight years.” “A lot of listeners out there, their heads are exploding, but this is going to be a very different Washington,” his colleague Chris Wallace said. At a time when it seemed the night could be turning away from Democrats, the Fox News call of the House was the first by any media outlet. And...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 12 Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath 12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” 3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do,...
