AKRON, Ohio — Bill Liming says he doesn't feel like he can remain silent any longer. His son, Ethan Liming, was a star athlete, an honor roll student and a rising senior. Summer vacation had just started when the 17-year-old was brutally beaten and killed. Now, months later, his father feels like he is being victimized by the justice system. “I naively believed that once the people who murdered my son were caught that the justice system would simply handle things. We’ve said all along we were confident when the facts of the case were presented that Ethan would receive...

Chuck Waite and Ragnar Crowson are hobbyist blacksmiths who typically create small items like decorative crosses or bottle openers, but they’re about to embark on a bigger task: transforming guns to garden tools. Hearing about the growing movement in other cities, forging guns to garden tools is something Tulsa Metropolitan Ministries has wanted to pursue for quite some time. They called on Tulsa City Councilor Crista Patrick to help, because Crowson is Patrick’s husband. They all agreed 2022 was the year to make it happen. “After this summer, some of the tragedies we’ve had in our city, we decided it...

DUBAI, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Iran has built a hypersonic ballistic missile, the semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace commander as saying, in remarks likely to heighten concerns about Iranian missile capabilities. "This missile has a high speed and can manoeuvre in and out of the atmosphere. It will target the enemy's advanced anti-missile systems and is a big generational leap in the field of missiles," commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying. Hypersonic missiles can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound and on a complex trajectory, which makes them difficult...

FRESNO, California -- Fresno police blame sibling rivalry and jealousy for the shocking murders of an 18-year-old mother and her 3-week-old daughter in September. Almost seven weeks later, investigators arrested the victim's older sister and the sister's boyfriend. Yanelly Solorio-Rivera was shot and killed as she slept in her bed holding her 3-week-old daughter, Celine. The shooter also killed Celine.

Judicial Watch announced today it received 345 pages of records from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, revealing that the United States funded anthrax laboratory activities in a Ukrainian biolab in 2018. Dozens of pages are completely redacted, and many others are heavily redacted. The records show over $11 million in funding for the Ukraine biolabs program in 2019. The records were obtained in response to a February 28, 2022, Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for records regarding the funding of Black &...

"No more light bulbs!!"MADtv - "Easy Bake Oven by Spishak" (tv commercial parody)

Pollster Frank Luntz said Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that former President Donald Trump should “take a very long vacation” after several candidates he endorsed lost their midterm runs. Luntz said, “Donald Trump is still the number one Republican in America today. There’s no doubt about it. But his overall patina has been flawed considerably or darkened considerably. And in the Atlanta — the Atlanta suburbs, he is a negative. And this is something that his candidates did not really understand. And I’m not convinced that he understands either, that for every one voter who thinks he’s God, you’ve got one...

Republican Adam Laxalt’s lead in the Nevada Senate race against incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto (D) narrowed to less than 800 votes on Friday night as party control of the upper chamber still hangs in the balance. Cortez-Masto is trailing Laxalt by just 0.1 percent with only about 7 percent of the vote left to be counted.

Less than 48 hours after polls closed and Democrats emerged from the midterm election poised to take control of every branch of state government, the Michigan Republican Party released a scathing memo blaming their electoral failures largely on Tudor Dixon, her campaign and former president Donald Trump. There’s a forest of pointing fingers emerging as Republicans reckon with a total loss of power at the state level, and the party provided their own suggestions looking to the top of the ticket. Paul Cordes, the party’s chief of staff, wrote Dixon’s weak performance as a gubernatorial candidate — Democratic Gov. Gretchen...

When something is so obvious, if the outcome makes no sense, if the outcome is literally impossible, then it is what it is. Forget “proof.” You know it. You saw it. You felt it. You experienced it. It happened. It’s real. The 2022 midterm was just stolen. Just like 2020. If you disagree, you’re either delusional, or terribly naïve, or brain dead. Or you’re in on the fix. It’s time to admit we’re all part of a massive experiment in fraud, theft, brainwashing, and gaslighting to a degree never seen in world history. Think of all the times in just...

We're supposed to believe that 400,000 people filled out their mail-in ballots at home, then drove to the polling place and dropped them off on election day? If I requested a mail-in ballot, I'd mail it in. If I was planning to drive to the polling place on election day, I'd vote there. A few people would drop off their ballots, but not that many. I'm not buying it. PS: Hope she wins! If not Trump should make her his running mate. They'd be rock-stars on tour!

TOKYO -- Japan unveiled Friday its latest attempt to create a national champion in cutting-edge semiconductors: a company named Rapidus that targets mass production in 2027. Toyota Motor and NTT are among the eight companies investing in the project, which hopes to succeed where other government-backed initiatives have failed. Japan sees domestic production of semiconductors as vital to its economic security, particularly because dependence on supplier Taiwan poses geopolitical risks. This last-ditch effort follows a lost decade in the 2010s, when Japan failed to invest in its once-thriving industry. This is the "last chance" to make a comeback, said Rapidus...

According to a recent poll, reports of President Donald Trump’s demise as GOP figurehead may be highly exaggerated. The new poll from Premise Data shows that Trump leads with 65 percent of support from the field, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with only 15 percent of support. No other probable contender gets over 7 percent. The poll results can be seen here: Big League Politics has reported on RINOs coming out of the woodwork to declare Trump as dead and non-viable in an attempt to gaslight Republican voters into ditching their heroic leader:

This is also big. The next batch of 114k late early drop-offs that were transmitted to the elections department will break in favor of Kari Lake.

Beverly Crumley has 30 years of experience in the Hays County District Clerk’s Office.... This year, Crumley ran for reelection and lost by just over two percentage points or around 2,500 votes.

His name is Avery Anderson.... Before running for district clerk, Anderson worked full-time at a gas station down the road from his house where he lives with his mom.... According to county documents, the Hays County...

PROJECTED: Republican Joe Lombardo is projected to win the Nevada governor’s race.

Republicans have flipped Oregon’s pivotal 5th District seat in Congress, with Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer defeating Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner in a race flooded with out-of-state GOP spending. That means Republicans will at least double their number of Oregon’s seats in the U.S. House, with Chavez-DeRemer, the former mayor of Happy Valley, joining Republican Cliff Bentz, who represents the heavily Republican 2nd District that covers most of eastern Oregon.
