Did anyone cath Kevin McCarthy on Gutfeld last night? When asked about Harris and if is a dumb away from the cameras as she is when giving her word salad interviews, he said she is.

Explanation: Can you find the Sun? OK, but can you explain why there’s a big dark spot in the center? The spot is the Moon, and the impressive alignment shown, where the Moon lines up inside the Sun, is called an annular solar eclipse. Such an eclipse occurred just last week and was visible from a thin swath mostly in Earth's southern hemisphere. The featured image was captured from Patagonia, Chile. When the Moon is significantly closer to the Earth and it aligns with the Sun, a total solar eclipse is then visible from parts of the Earth. Annular eclipses...

Amer Ghalib, who leads the city of Hamtramck in the crucial battleground state of Michigan, said on Sunday that the Republican candidate is a “man of principles” and “the right choice”, despite their disagreements on some issues. “President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles,” Ghalib said in a post on Facebook.

Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she would do nothing differently than President Joe Biden.Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “As Vice President you worked closely with President Biden for almost four years. He was here on our show and he said there wasn’t a single thing that he did that you could not do. What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Biden presidency?”Harris said, “We’re two different people but we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we fell about our...

CBS News appears to have edited the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris to show the Democratic 2024 hopeful in a more positive light. Social media erupted in criticism of the vice president's 'word salad' response to a question about the Israeli-Hamas war. But after the episode aired on 60 Minutes on Monday night, the version that was put onto the show's official YouTube page did not include Harris' nonsensical answer and instead included a truncated and more straight-forward response.

Kamala Harris has lots of problems as a candidate for the highest office in the land, and her allies in the state media are painfully aware of her obvious shortcomings – one of which is her crucial inability to garner the support of male voters.To be clear: no one, male or female, truly likes Kamala Harris, because as a politician she is unlikeable. She is not a leader. She’s not a person of principle. She’s not “the smartest person in the room,” as people used to say of Barack Obama. She has exactly zero gravitas. She’s not charismatic, competent, or...

In the midst of the last major budget crisis in Washington, Democrats diverted money and the legal authority to put the nation’s disaster relief agency into the business of caring for the millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the border on the Biden-Harris administration’s watch. And now both parties seem to be trying to obfuscate the truth.White House spokeswoman Karine-Jean Pierre took the lead in trying to suggest it was a "conspiracy theory" to suggest the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was using its resources to aid illegal aliens. Republicans countered with surprise and shock that FEMA had routed $640.9...

Pollster Nate Silver said in his latest election forecast that the White House race between former President Trump and Vice President Harris is likely to remain a toss-up until Election Day, now less than a month away. “I’ve never seen an election in which the forecast spent more time in the vicinity of 50/50, and I probably never will,” Silver wrote in his column published Tuesday. He argued that there were a few instances where it seemed like the election was swinging in one direction, “but they proved to be false starts.” Silver pointed to when Harris replaced President Biden...

On July 7, 2017, after President Donald J. Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia shook hands in Hamburg, Germany, to conclude their first face-to-face meeting, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson walked out of the sterile conference room, removed notes from his pocket and gave anxious White House aides a summary. “We’ve got work to do to change the president’s mind on Ukraine,” Mr. Tillerson said. The secretary of state had just watched Mr. Putin, the former K.G.B. spymaster, put on a master class in seeking to shape the thinking of the new American president. The Russian leader...

Hurricane Milton is threatening to reach known maximum limits with wind gusts already topping 200 miles per hour — leading to calls for a new Category 6 designation for such a historic superstorm. “This is nothing short of astronomical,” Florida meteorologist Noah Bergren said late Monday as Milton reached sustained winds of 180 mph and “gusts 200+ mph.” “I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe to you the storm’s small eye and intensity,” he marveled. “This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth’s atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.” After being a monster Category...

Israel is not expected to attack Iran's nuclear program but rather to focus on various kinds of military bases and intelligence sites, the Jerusalem Post has learned, following a New York Times report on the issue. Confronted with the Times report, sources did not deny the thrust of the report, which predicted that Israel's retaliation against Iran for its massive October 1 strike on the Jewish state would fall more in the medium range of attack scenarios. Further, the Post understands that Israel's attack on Iran - which virtually all top Israeli officials have publicly promised - will still be...

As another intense storm barrels down upon us—this time Milton, a hurricane of record-breaking intensity heading directly for Florida—it’s time to confront a harsh reality: FEMA’s disaster response system is fundamentally flawed. Time and again, we’ve witnessed the same predictable cycle: relief supplies positioned directly in the path of impending storms, vital maritime assets called into action far too late, and the underutilization of the U.S. Army’s robust watercraft and Department of Transportation’s disaster relief fleet.

Aaron Horwath of Kenai, Alaska, was acquitted by a jury of his peers on September 27 on a federal charge of dealing in firearms without a license. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) charged the owner of Gator Guns Inc. last summer on the allegations that he was selling guns from his store despite the agency having revoked his Federal Firearms License (FFL) years earlier. The ATF revoked Horwath’s FFL in 2020 due to what the agency claims were “willful violations of federal firearms laws and regulations,” accusing him of failing to record hundreds of firearms sales...
