There is “a lot of momentum” for New Mexico to flip red, Nella Domenici, the state’s Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily, noting that former President Donald Trump’s momentum is helping in her race against incumbent Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) as well. Domenici noted that her state was “solidly red for a long time” when her father was senator from 1973 to 2009.

Image credit: NASA Voyager 1 continues to amaze. After 47 years, having crossed together with its twin into interstellar space, you’d think the spacecraft would stop surprising us. No chance. The probe had another glitch in the last few weeks that caused a loss of communication, but it managed to find a fix all by itself using hardware that had not been used since 1981. The probe is more than 24 billion kilometers (15...

I get that,” he...

28 years as a United Airlines employee; now his Catholic values got him fired. When Kamala Harris told a couple of pro-life activists at a recent rally that they were at the wrong event, she was signaling to the approving crowd that she shared their open contempt for Christians and Christian values.

Former Governor Christine Todd Whitman (R-NJ) said Thursday on CNN’s “New Central” that she wants to “smack” former President Donald Trump across the face. Whitman said, “Well, frankly, that comment of his, ‘whether they like it or not,’ is just infuriating! And I think there are a lot of women who are still somewhat hesitant.

He was not expressing His love for the city, but for the people in the city. It is...
