Religious and far-right politicians, who have compared gay people to animals and demanded an end to Pride rallies, are poised to enter the next Israeli government sparking fear among the LGBTQ community. After veteran leader Benjamin Netanyahu topped the polls earlier this month, he is expected to form a coalition with two ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties and the extreme-right Religious Zionism alliance. One far-right lawmaker, Avi Maoz, set the tone last week, telling army radio: "We're going to study the legal avenues to cancel Gay Pride." Religious Zionism leaders Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have a long history of hostility towards...

Democrats have wrested power from Republicans in four states that previously had politically divided governments to take full control of state capitols following Tuesday’s midterm elections. The four states that have taken both legislative chambers and the governorship under Democratic control are Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland and Massachusetts. "By all accounts, this election should have been a landslide for Republicans. Instead, their so-called red wave is looking more like a puddle," said Jessica Post, president of the national Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. But even with Democratic gains, Republicans still will control more states and more total legislative seats. Republicans entered the...

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R) said on Thursday that she would not support former President Trump running again for the White House if he declares his candidacy, as he is expected to do next week. Sears told Fox’s Neil Cavuto that Trump had numerous accomplishments with the economy and with public safety, but she said voters said in the midterm elections that they want the Republican Party to have a different leader. “I could not support him. I just couldn’t,” she said. Republicans were hoping for a red wave to lead the party to significant gains in the House...

President Biden on Thursday said that he thinks that people who support denying access to abortions now know the power of women in America following the midterm elections this week. “You all showed up and beat the hell out of them,” Biden said in remarks to the Democratic National Committee at Washington, D.C.’s Howard Theatre. “Those who support ripping away the rights to choose don’t have a clue about the power of women in America but now I think they do.”

Johnny Jennings, the police chief of Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday criticized an unnamed judge's decision to reduce a repeat violent offender's bond from $2 million to $50,000. Octavis Wilson, 29, is facing charges of first-degree kidnapping, second-degree forcible rape, assault on a female, sexual battery, assault with a deadly weapon and other charges. We were pleased and appreciative of the original decision by the Mecklenburg County Magistrate’s Office to issue a $2 million bond for Octavis Wilson, a violent repeat offender. However, a judge decided just days later to lower this individual’s bond to a mere $50k," Jennings said...

Fear of nazis or fear of a 15 meter high wall of water?? MSM coverage is total BS.

Exercising on an empty stomach helped people to burn about 70% more fat than those who exercised two hours after eating, a study found. Sports scientists also found that the participants—who undertook both fasted and fed exercise in the evening—did not overcompensate for the calories skipped earlier in the day. While studies have suggested the benefits of exercise could be increased when done in the morning following an overnight fast, the team's own research found that evening exercise, between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., is the most popular time for people due to other commitments. Therefore, the researchers designed the...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife officials on Thursday released their first new wolf management plan in almost a quarter-century but the document doesn’t establish a new statewide population goal, a number that has become a flashpoint in the fight over hunting quotas. The Department of Natural Resources adopted a wolf management plan in 1999 that calls for capping the statewide population at 350 animals. As the number of wolves in Wisconsin has increased — the DNR released estimates in September showing that the population currently stands at 970 — hunters have used that 350 number to justify generous quotas,...

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s former KGB mentor and one-time crony, who later became an outspoken critic, has died from an unexplained “serious illness,” officials said. Viktor Cherkesov, 72, died in St. Petersburg Tuesday night, according to a Telegram post by Alexander Khinstein, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy. “Victor Vasilyevich was a wonderful person and a true statesman.

Jeff Cook, a Country Music Hall of Fame member as one of the co-founders of the country group Alabama, died Monday at age 73 at his home in Destin, Florida. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2012 and revealed his condition to the public in 2017.

(Cook is pictured above, at left, alongside Owen and Gentry at a 2016 event heralding the opening of...

If you thought the midterm election season was ugly, you ain’t seen nothing yet. What is coming next in American politics is going to make this past year look like a waltz through Candyland. With the congressional elections coming to a close, all eyes are going to turn to 2024. With Republicans in control of the House and possibly the Senate, the GOP will finally be in a position of power that it can use against President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats. If House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s declarations earlier this year are sincere, the Republicans will be going on...

The first speaker at the event was the chairman of the Otzma Yehudit party, MK Itamar Ben Gvir. In his speech Ben Gvir emphasized that he respects R' Kahane who was a great lover of Israel but at the same time disagrees with all his opinions regarding the expulsion of Arabs and separate sea shores. He was booed when he said that he did not agree with parts of R' Kahana's teachings. "It is no secret that today I am not R' Kahane and I do not support the deportation of all Arabs, and I will not enact laws for...

ROME — On June 19, 2017, the Vatican gendarmes entered the offices of the church’s chief auditor. They confiscated his phone and iPad, threw his papers on the floor and ordered the fire brigade to smash open a locked metal filing cabinet, from which they extracted a document that they said proved he was abusing resources to spy on top Vatican cardinals. “Now you have to confess,” they demanded, according to the auditor, Libero Milone. Faced, he said, with being thrown in a Vatican jail, Mr. Milone signed resignation papers. In the ensuing five years, the Vatican has done much...
