The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Sheriff Joe Lombardo, a Republican, will become the next Governor of Nevada. He has unseated Democratic incumbent Steve Sisolak. The economy and inflation, education, crime, and the governor’s performance in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic were key issues in the gubernatorial campaign. Sisolak was elected governor in 2018 after spending nearly a decade as a Clark County Commissioner. Lombardo, after serving more than two decades in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, was elected Clark County Sheriff in 2014. Clark County covers just 7% of the Nevada’s land area, but holds nearly...

President Trump took aim at the “fake narrative” propagated by the mainstream media that he is “angry” about the midterm election results, roasting them with a hefty dose of truth on his aptly-named platform, Truth Social.“For those many people that are being fed the fake narrative from the corrupt media that I am Angry about the Midterms, don’t believe it,” he wrote. “I am not at all angry, did a great job (I wasn’t the one running!), and am very busy looking into the future.”The president also quipped, “Remember, I am a ‘Stable Genius.’”On Thursday, Trump pointed out that his...

MARYLAND HEIGHTS — The plan to downsize the Archdiocese of St. Louis will cut more deeply than first reported, with at least half of the parishes slated to close. The latest figures from the archdiocese, outlined at a series of parish listening sessions currently underway, show the number of parishes could drop from 178 to between 71 and 90. In response to the reorganization plan — called “All Things New” by the archdiocese — a group of parishioners is planning to fight back. More than 400 Catholics from Perryville, Mo., to Warrenton gathered recently at a hotel conference room at...

Disney looks set to become the next major corporation to freeze hiring and cut job after a second straight quarter losing over $1billion. The news comes after a quarter where, despite the gains, the company continues to lose in the streaming market, nearly doubling year-over-year to $1.47 billion. Disney CEO Bob Chapek addressed the memo to Disney's division leaders, saying the company is instituting a targeted hiring freeze and anticipates 'some small staff reductions' as it looks to manage costs. He wrote: 'While certain macroeconomic factors are out of our control, meeting these goals requires all of us to continue...

The Russian Orthodox Church supports the initiative to ban LGBT propaganda across the board, but not the idea of making homosexuality itself into a crime, says one of the Church’s top representatives. In 2013, Russia passed an amendment to the country's Child Protection Law against “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations to minors.” Fines range from $155 for an individual to up to $31,000 for a media outlet. But now Russia’s Parliament is moving towards a total ban on LGBT propaganda, for any audience. “We supported the bill in the current version during the public hearings in the State Duma, which...

The same crooks that gave Uranium One to Russia now apparently think they should review the Twitter sale to Elon Musk. The corrupt group that approved the sale of Uranium One and 20% of the US uranium reserves to Russia, now is getting involved in the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk. In October TGP reported that Biden is threatening to investigate Elon Musk for standing up for free speech and against censorship. Biden threatened to use the same entity that approved the sale of Uranium One to Russia. Yesterday it was reported that Biden is planning on using the...

Biden's 'whole-of-government' plan to enact an environmentalist agenda.. House Republicans produced a 1,000-page report on Nov. 4 detailing how the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have shifted their focus toward targeting conservative Americans who protest at abortion clinics and parents who protest at school board meetings. But the politicization of federal law enforcement is just the tip of the iceberg. Since Joe Biden assumed the presidency nearly two years ago, the Biden administration has been relentless in redirecting virtually every federal agency toward activism for “climate and social justice” and aligning the federal government in lockstep...

[audio] This is a 2-minute summary of Oakland’s Measure S on the November 8, 2022 ballot. If passed, Measure S would allow Oakland’s non-citizen parents and legal guardians the right to vote in school board elections. Measure S authors are council members Dan Kalb and Treva Reed. They want to ensure that noncitizen parents' voices are heard and that their children's educational needs are better met through advocacy and given resources. Oakland is demographically diverse. In fact, about 60,000 people in Oakland are non-citizens. Over 13,000 of these parents send their kids to school in Oakland.

The chickens have come home to roost for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. After he stuck his nose in the state’s Republican primary process last May against the guidance of his most loyal advisers, many of his once-devoted followers say they are done with the former president. (snip) “If you’re a Republican in Pennsylvania and you look at Donald Trump’s bigfooting of the people in Pennsylvania and the implosion of his candidates in Pennsylvania, you’re pretty upset,” said Urban, a Washington-based strategist who grew up in Beaver County, Pa. Urban said his phone has been ringing all week with county chairs...

Ball of Confusion

The space agency is still targeting a two-hour launch window on Wednesday, November 16, that begins at 1:04 a.m. ET for liftoff of Artemis I. It will mark the inaugural flight of the new Space Launch System rocket and send an uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a test flight around the moon. The space agency had decided to roll out the SLS rocket to the launchpad November 4 while the storm was still an unnamed system brewing off the East Coast. Nicole left some substantial issues to be addressed, Free said. Some caulking came loose on the Orion spacecraft that ground...

Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back. The 2022 midterm election results for Colorado say that the state as it was is no more. Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back. "The idea that somehow Colorado is still purplish or has a red streak to it, no, I don't see it at all," said Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute on IITV's Devil's Advocate show. "All of that was absolutely mind-boggling, but what really got me was in the state Legislature." Caldara interviewed Marianne Goodland, Colorado legislative reporter...

Former President Trump has filed a lawsuit to dismiss the subpoena issued by the House Jan. 6 Committee on Friday evening, which demands his appearance for a deposition on Monday, Politico reported. It can be recalled the January 6 Committee last October unanimously voted to subpoena Trump. Americans DO NOT care about the January 6 panel. The number one issue for Americans is crushing inflation caused by Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies. “We have left no doubt—none—that Donald Trump led an effort to upend American democracy that directly resulted in the violence of Jan. 6,” Chair Bennie Thompson said. “He is...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on CNN’s “At This Hour” that Republicans like Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA) were now disavowing Trump because several candidates he endorsed lost their midterm runs and not over Trump “spreading election lies.” On Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast,” Sears said, “I could not support him. I just couldn’t because we have seen, for example, in those states where he has endorsed the candidates. In fact, Republicans on the same ticket who he did not endorse overperformed, whereas his candidates totally underperformed by as much as ten points. We have a clear...
