Mary Miller claimed victory Tuesday in Illinois’ 15th Congressional District. The Associated Press called the race for Miller. With 94% of precincts reporting, she led with 71.4% of the vote. Once-touted Englewood Whole Foods closes as shoppers mourn the health-focused grocer Trump-endorsed freshman Republican Miller battled Democrat Paul Lange of Mendon, a little-known candidate with a meager war chest. The newly redrawn 15th Congressional District covers 35 counties in central and Southern Illinois. In a rare incumbent versus incumbent race, Miller of Oakland defeated five-term Rep. Rodney Davis of Taylorville in the June primary. Born in Oak Park and raised...

On Friday, Markey sent a letter to Musk asking for more information about how accounts on Twitter are being verified and accusing the social media company’s new owner of allowing the spread of disinformation and “putting profits over people.”

Today we react to a Dr Phil clip discussing cancelled words and phrases.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the collapsing cryptocurrency company FTX, along with two others associated with the company, director of engineering Nishad Singh and co-founder Gary Wang, are "under supervision" in the Bahamas after the trio reportedly were planning on fleeing to Dubai. According to Cointelegraph, "Right now three of them, Sam, Gary, and Nishad are under supervision in the Bahamas, which means it will be hard for them to leave."

The Republican state party in the ballot-collecting blue states will need to adjust to this new environment and start ballot-collecting itself. Entering Election Day staring out of a pit is not a winning strategy. But that's not enough. They will never be able to out-Democrat the Democrats, who are unbound from ethical considerations. Republicans need to go scorched earth in trying to overturn this grotesque practice, which is more reminiscent of authoritarian regimes that want to maintain the appearance of democracy. This brings back memories of the hapless Dan Rather listening as Saddam Hussein told him he got 100% of...

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s personal aide, Alexey Arestovych, said Sunday that Ukraine’s recent support of a United Nations resolution against Israel was “a grave mistake.” In an online livestream, the close aide to the Ukrainian premier said “Ukraine’s foreign ministry’s position was illogical and unacceptable.” “We’re teaming up with Russia and Iran who are attacking us, and distancing ourselves from Israel — which we want as an ally,” Aristovich said. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s personal aide, Alexey Arestovych, said Sunday that Ukraine’s recent support of a United Nations resolution against Israel was “a grave mistake.” In an online livestream, the...

Governors Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Jared Polis of Colorado, Brad Little of Idaho, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Brian Kemp of Georgia, and Greg Abbott of Texas were all ranked in the top 10 of conservative governors in a Laffer-ALEC analysis last year and coasted to reelection on Tuesday.

Witkin, who lives in San Jose, got a tip that his ballot was allegedly found, along with other ballots, in a pile of mail that was dumped by a ravine near Sugarloaf Road off Highway 17 in Santa Cruz County. He was also sent a photo showing his ballot among the mail.

The race for control of the US House is not over. It’s not over till the Democrats say it’s over. The world is watching in amazement as corrupt election officials and politicians across the country can’t seem to finalize the results of an election five days ago. Texas and Florida can complete their election results a few hours after the election, but other states are days away, if not weeks. The 2022 Election was supposed to be a route for the GOP. Biden and his gang of America-destroying communists are understandably not well-liked. They are even hated for their actions...

Is it true that McConnell tanked Senate races by not funding candidates like Masters? McConnell spent HUGE everywhere but AZ. Masters had Thiel so his outside spending was pretty good at $53M vs $57M for his opponent. But he got only 46% of the vote.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) on Sunday said Senate GOP leadership “caved” to Democrats on a number of legislative bills over the past year, citing that as one reason Republicans did not perform as well as projected in the midterm elections. Scott, the chair of the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that Republicans “caved in on the debt ceiling, caved in on a gun bill, caved in on a fake infrastructure bill.”

A recent report published by a trio of college professors details "effective responses" school leaders can use when questioned by parents who are concerned about critical race theory curricula. "The goal of effective messaging is essentially to step away from the fueling of fear because people can very easily go down a rabbit hole of engaging in debates that become echo chambers," Francesca López, one of the authors of the report, said, according to Education Week. She serves as the Waterbury Chair in Equity Pedagogy at The Pennsylvania State University. "Effective messaging moves beyond just engaging in a debate," she...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) said on Sunday that her focus is on Michigan for the next four years when asked about a possible presidential run in 2024. “I feel really lucky to be the governor of Michigan. I have lived here my whole life. And this is where my focus is for the next four years,” Whitmer responded when asked by CNN’s “State of the Union” host Dana Bash if she would be interested in launching a presidential campaign in 2024 or 2028. “I’m going to make Michigan an even stronger place, where people come to for opportunity,” Whitmer...

Another upside-down questionable election in 2022, after the disastrous fraud uncovered in the 2020 Presidential election, threatens the very survival of our Constitutional Republic. It doesn’t appear the average American realizes how very dire the situation is with the continuation of one-party control of our government, the “mob rule” of a “democracy’ (51% majority), an evil tyranny that our Founding Fathers warned against. Schools and colleges have become nothing more than Communist factories. Pacification of the masses is their tool of choice to harvest weak people. The attacks on Judeo-Christian values will continue. History is clear about what happens next...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said Republicans “nominated some bad candidates” in the midterm elections after the GOP underperformed on projections of a red wave. Christie said in a roundtable discussion on ABC News that Democrats “got more fired up than people thought and that polls demonstrated.”

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son." "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight." Mark, Chapter 13 1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith...

Ukraine invested into FTX as the Biden administration funneled funds to the invaded nation, and FTX then made massive donations to Democrats in the US.

For the first time ever, Republican voters now back Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over former President Donald Trump, according to a new poll. The poll, which was conducted by YouGov America from November 9th to the 11th, following last week’s midterm elections, and published on Saturday, found that Republicans were generally disappointed with the outcome of the elections. ...

Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are hosting back-to-back conferences about disinformation in the days following Donald Trump's 'big announcement.' Bush, 76, will host his The Struggle for Freedom conference in Dallas on November 16, while Obama's democracy conference will be held in New York City on the 17th. Trump's big announcement - largely rumored to be his 2024 presidential campaign announcement - is set for Tuesday.

Kramer, of the Bush Institute, said it was 'terrific' the...
