Donald Trump has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn’t stop the far-left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are “infected” with a “contagious disease” called “Authoritarian Violence Disorder” and that Trump “is a massive superspreader.” (I don’t link fake news meant to inspire assassins, which is what this obviously is.)

Donald Trump sought to present himself as the "father of IVF" on Wednesday (Oct 16), as he told an all-female audience at an election campaign event he supported a fertility treatment that Democrats say he has put under threat. The Republican candidate did not explain what he meant, but his remarks were the latest in a series of conflicting stances he has taken on reproductive rights, a key weakness in his push for the White House. "I want to talk about IVF. I'm the father of IVF, so I want to hear this question," Trump told Fox News in the...

Wow, Kamal is going for it.

Liam Payne has reportedly died after falling off a hotel balcony in Argentina. Eyewitnesses told TMZ that the Former One Direction star died Wednesday evening after plunging from the 4th floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was only 31 years old. SNIP TMZ published a photo of what appears to be Payne’s arm. The outlet decided not to post the picture in its entirety because it reportedly shows the singer’s body on a wooden deck with tables and chairs nearby. The tattoos — a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his abdomen — in the image...

Synod proposal could give ‘doctrinal authority’ to local bishops’ conferencesBishops' conferences could essentially become the doctrine makers of their own local churches, thus completely undermining the unity of the Church.Synod members are discussing a proposal that would give bishops “doctrinal authority,” essentially having the Catholic Church break up into numerous different, often contradictory bodies.As the 300-plus members of the Synod on Synodality’s second session gather in the Paul VI Audience Hall, they began today the fourth of five modules of discussions that form part of the monthlong event.Between October 2 and October 27, the members are working through the Instrumentum...

Speaking with Tucker Carlson, political journalist Mark Halperin believes if Donald Trump wins back the presidency in three weeks, it will “cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.” Near the end of their two-hour discussion (which is well worth listening to), Carlson says, “Let’s say Trump wins three weeks from today. What happens? … As you said, a lot of Democrats believe that Trump becoming president is the worst thing that could ever happen.”

A Lancaster man has been taken into custody, facing allegations that he operated a drone to deliver narcotics, including fentanyl. One of the recipients died from an overdose, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Central District of California. Christopher Patrick Laney, 34, is facing a spectrum of charges, which includes the distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. Laney's indictment was announced today, after a grand jury decision on September 17 that was only recently unsealed. The indictment describes how Laney allegedly utilized an unregistered drone to make drug deliveries from his home to a church parking lot on January 17,...

"...Voting for candidates who are apt to start nuclear wars or depressions because you're afraid of getting pregnant is irrational. And the neocon cabal that has been running our country for the past four years is highly likely to do that. Or did you think that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had actually been running anything??"

It was a classic case of liberal-media condescension to the great unwashed Trump masses during Wednesday's CNN This Morning. And what made it all the more outrageous was the obliviousness of it all. Speaking about CNN as if it was above the commoners in the wider country, host Kasie Hunt said to her panel: I have to say, I mean, we're sitting at this table, right? I mean, Kate [Bedingfield], you've worked, you've dedicated your career to electing Democrats the White House. Matt, you've done the same for Republicans. We're able to sit here and have a conversation about what's...

In yet another horrific example of trans violence against women and girls, a student at Mount Desert Island High School in Maine was taken to the hospital after being assaulted twice in one day by a man dressed as a woman. Students were able to get the second attack on video: [Warning, this is tough to watch] The victim's mother relayed to reporters: He full-on attacks her, gets on top of her and pins her down, so she's not even able to defend herself in any way because he's bigger, he's heavier, he's like six feet tall. And then he...

Billionaires who have grown disgusted by disruptive anti-Israel protests across US college campuses are abandoning their elite alma maters — and instead backing a new, “anti-woke” university in Texas that has just 92 students, according to a report. Wall Street trader Jeff Yass, real-estate tycoon Harlan Crow and investor Len Blavatnik are just a few of the deep-pocketed donors flooding the University of Austin, or UATX, with about $200 million so far, according to The Wall Street Journal. Yass alone has given $35 million to the tiny school – which is currently housed in a former department store, the Journal...

The family of a Tennessee factory worker who was killed during Hurricane Helene is suing the company and its CEO — claiming that the bosses sneaked out of the factory to escape catastrophic weather conditions while they ordered employees to stay. Johnny Peterson, 55, was one of two workers at Impact Plastics who are now confirmed dead in flooding that engulfed the factory in the rural town of Erwin on Sept. 27. Of 11 employees who were swept away, five were rescued and another four remain missing, according to reports. According to an explosive lawsuit filed by Peterson’s family on...

Some Nevada voters will receive new ballots after an error listed Lynn Chapman, running for Nevada’s second congressional district under the Independent American Party label, as a member of the Democratic Party. The error, first reported by the Nevada Appeal over the weekend, incorrectly lists Chapman as a Democrat on ballots in Carson City for Nevada’s second congressional district. Chapman, who is a member of the Independent American Party, is one of four candidates seeking the position, alongside Republican Mark Amodei, Libertarian Javi Tachiquin, and non-partisan candidate Greg Kidd. Since the error was discovered, the Carson City Clerk-Recorder’s office has...

"Start shooting": the surprise mission of the combat helicopter disrupted the plan for Hezbollah. The UAV disaster this week at Golani training base was a painful reminder of the danger, but not long ago a historic achievement was recorded - when two Apache pilots set out on a complex mission. The goal: to intercept an explosive UAV that was making its way towards strategic targets in Israel. "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, we shot it down in a four-second burst," repeated the squadron's deputy commander, Major A. Without firing a single missile: behind the perfect interception...

Former CNN hack Don Lemon shared his firsthand experiences with CNN after speaking with black voters across battleground states. Lemon’s news isn’t good for Kamala Harris‘s campaign, as she continues to lose her grip on the traditional Democratic stronghold of the black vote.

Vice presidential hopeful Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) is holding a rally in North Carolina Wednesday evening, a day before early voting opens in the Tar Heel State. Vance is expected to encourage voters in the crucial swing state to take advantage of the options available, including mail-in and early voting, according to the campaign. The push comes after the southeastern U.S. was rocked late last month by Hurricane Helene, which threatened to disrupt voting in the state. A survey from NBC News showed that while Americans are more eager to vote before Election Day than four years ago, a partisan...

ATLANTA — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is trying to get some of the charges dropped against former President Donald Trump and others indicted in the Georgia election interference case reinstated. In March, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dropped six of the charges in the indictment against Trump and others saying the charges were too vague. In her filing Tuesday, Willis said, “The indictment included an abundance of context and factual allegations about the solicitations at issue, including when the requests were made, to whom the requests were made, and the manner in which the requests were...

Monday on his eponymous independent show, former CNN host Don Lemon lashed out at black and Latino men who’ve, at a minimum, shown an iciness toward Vice President Kamala Harris and an openness to former President Trump. This, Lemon argued, was due to consummation of a “center right or far right” media “ecosystem” of “digital, streaming podcasts” as well as “misogyny” and “sexism” “that they're being left behind, especially by women.” Later in the show, Lemon surprisingly came to the defense of CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil by rebuking CBS News for their all-but public struggle sessions by pro-Palestinian employees...

Earlier this year, Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Harris, but it has been speculated that he has been taking subtle shots at the Vice President. Former Presidents Obama and Clinton have also made less-than-helpful statements on Harris' behalf. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been able to spin Vice President Kamala Harris' top Democratic surrogates' recent campaign stops as an endorsement for him as their statements have somewhat backfired. Former Democratic presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden have been surrogates for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Trump has used some of...
