How did the Democrats pull this off? By EVERY measure, Democrat “rule” in America has been a DISASTER! Yet, yesterday, Democrats prevailed in Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky! Did the “BIG CHEAT” come into play? For the life of me, I cannot understand why any sentient American would vote for any Democrat at any level of government! Democrats have been 100% behind, at every level of government, VERY harmful, VERY anti-American, VERY anti-Constitution, VERY anti-Christian ideas, policies and legislation designed for the express purpose of destroying our FRee Republic! How can We the People take control FRom these VERY EVIL people?...

A recent editorial from a very conservative newspaper editorial page — I'm not going to name any names — is asking, "Will Trump Be Indicted Into Office?" This is their response to the spate of recent polls showing Mr. Trump leading in nearly all the toss-up states and defeating Joe Biden a year from now. Then, there's another headline that I will identify from the Washington Post entitled: "Eight columnists discuss: How in the world is Trump winning?" Half of those columnists were conservatives. Just saying, but they too completely missed the point. Trump is winning on the issues. Can...

Democrats across Congress are calling on President Biden to allow Palestinians entry into the U.S. on humanitarian grounds as war drags on in Gaza. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., together with Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Pramila Jayapal, D-Was., led a letter of 103 colleagues to the president asking him to grant the Palestinian territories Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and/or authorize Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Palestinians already living in the U.S. The TPS program allows those from war-torn or crisis-wracked countries to legally live and work in the U.S., but does not give them permanent residency. It allows...

BOSTON, Nov. 8-US prosecutors yesterday charged three people with running a high-end brothel network out of apartment complexes in greater Boston and northern Virginia whose customers included elected officials, tech and pharmaceutical executives, lawyers, professors and military officers. Federal prosecutors in Boson did not identify any of the "wealthy and well-connected clientele" that they say paid up to US$600 (RM2807) per hour for sexual encounters with predominantly Asian women who were being exploited through sex trafficking. The brothels alleged operators--Han Lee, 41 and Junmyung Lee, 30, of Massachusetts and James Lee, 68, of California--were arrested ad charged with conspiring to...

SHANGHAI -- China's consumer prices declined slightly in October, according to data released Thursday, while a new survey suggests economic headwinds are restraining shoppers during the country's Singles Day retail campaign. Weighed down by falling food prices, the consumer price index fell 0.2% compared with the same month a year earlier, the statistics office said. With deflationary pressure looming over the country's growth prospects, the index had also contracted in July. It was flat in September. Factory gate inflation in October came in at -2.6%, versus -2.5% in the previous month, due to softer commodity prices. Declining aggregate demand appears...

If you've been following Twitchy over the past month, you know that some journalists refuse to believe that Hamas terrorists beheaded infants on October 7, even though they'll freely admit that Hamas invaded Israel and shot up a music festival as well as several civilian neighborhoods, taking about 200 hostages with them. But beheading an infant? That sounds like Israeli propaganda. "Wonder Woman" actor Gal Gadot, who served in the IDF, is organizing a screening of Hamas footage from the October 7 attack and the aftermath. The Israeli government has already held two such screenings for journalists who seem to...

A Laramie preacher has won a federal lawsuit against the University of Wyoming (UW). He had sued the university for infringing on his constitutionally protected free speech rights. Last December, Laramie Faith Community Church Elder Todd Schmidt displayed an anti-trans banner in the UW student union, identifying an individual transgender student by name. The university banned him from tabling for one year, alleging that he was harassing the student. Schmidt sued UW on First Amendment grounds. He won a preliminary injunction that has already let him return to the student union. Last week, both parties agreed to a judge's order,...

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley blasted entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as “scum” after he brought up her daughter on Wednesday night’s third Republican presidential debate stage in Miami. “In the last debate, she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time. So you might want to take care of your family first,” Ramaswamy said as the candidates clashed over the video-sharing app, which is owned by Beijing-based parent company ByteDance. “Leave my daughter out of your voice,” Haley said. “You’re just scum.”

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said that “the idea of innocent civilians being killed was such, at times, abandoned, and not following the tenants of armed conflict doesn’t help Israel in the long term,” and that we need a humanitarian pause so “we can show Israel’s ability to defend itself within the rules of war.” Warner said that a humanitarian pause is in Israel’s interest “to make sure that we can show Israel’s ability to defend itself within the rules of war.”

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he believed Tuesday’s election results showed voters don’t trust Republicans on the issue of abortion because “they keep lying.” Host Ari Melber asked, “What are the voters saying?” Carville said, “Well, I think voters said that they don’t like being lied to. They did it in Kansas. They did it in Ohio. They tried to confuse people, change the wording.”

The strikes targeted a weapons storage facility in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups. Two U.S. F-15s conducted the strikes. "The United States is fully prepared to take further necessary measures to protect our people and our facilities," Austin said. "We urge against any escalation." .... There have...
