In a significant pro-life victory in the Florida 2024 election, voters defeated Amendment 4, which would have permitted abortion up to birth under specific circumstances. With 89% of the vote tabulated, Amendment 4 failed to secure the 60% needed to pass, getting just 57% of the vote. The amendment faced strong opposition from pro-life groups, religious organizations, and a broad coalition of voters concerned about the potential expansion of late-term abortions. “The demise of pro-abortion Amendment 4 is a momentous victory for life in Florida and for our entire country,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Thanks to Gov....

Two inscriptions from Hierapolis provide evidence of how gladiatorial contests were supervised. Gladiators were not, in fact, engaged in the chaotic, savage massacre of many people's imagination. On the contrary, the games were governed by detailed sets of rules and overseen by arbiters, or referees. These inscriptions, dedicated to local arbiters named Apollonios Menandros and Zosimos, describe the men as secunda rudes, or second umpires. If the city provided gladiators and referees for the games, it's possible there was a permanent gladiatorial organization in Hierapolis. This interpretation is supported by a grave stela found at the end of the nineteenth...

SNIP The state’s famed “Pennsylvania Dutch” registered to vote in “unprecedented numbers” in response to a January federal raid on a local raw milk farm in Bird in Hand, Pa., a source familiar with the situation told The Post. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture raided Amos Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after reports of illnesses in children linked to raw dairy products purchased there, according to the local media outlet Lancaster Farming. “That was the impetus for them to say, ‘We need to participate,’ ” the source said of local Amish voters. “This is about neighbors helping neighbors.”

Nov 5 (Reuters) - Democrat Josh Stein won the North Carolina governor's race on Tuesday, Fox News projected, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, whose candidacy imploded following a CNN report that he had called himself a "Black Nazi" and made other offensive remarks on a pornographic website. Robinson, the Southern state's lieutenant governor, has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN. Robinson was endorsed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who previously praised him as "Martin Luther King on steroids" but whose campaign distanced itself after the scandal broke in September. Robinson advocated for bringing back slavery for...

The US military is set to conduct a test launch of a hypersonic nuclear missile hours after polls close on Election Day. An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is scheduled to blast off between 11:01pm and 5:01am PT from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base. **SNIP** But military officials noted that the 'test is routine and was scheduled years in advance.' They said the purpose of the test was to show the 'readiness of nuclear US forces' and provide 'confidence in the nation's nuclear deterrence' amid fears of the growing threat of the outbreak of World War III. The...

Over the past few months, a lot of ink has been spilled and words spoken about Project 2025 and former President Donald Trump’s support for it. Almost all of what’s been written and said have been lies from biased writers and pundits. Commentators have alternately, and sometimes in the same story, called it “fascist,” anti-democratic,” a plan to “destroy the U.S. system of checks and balances,” and perhaps cringiest of all, “a Christo-Fascist plan to create a theocracy.” In actuality, Project 2025 is none of these things, except in the unhinged minds of the labelers. In fact, it is the...

As American voters head into Election Day 2024, a chorus of polling experts agreed that the presidential race between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is neck-and-neck with no clear favorite. Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, statistician Nate Silver unveiled his Silver Bulletin’s final forecast model, showing each major party candidate essentially has a 50% shot of becoming the nation’s 47th president. “We ran 80,000 simulations tonight,” Silver wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Harris won in 40,012.” Harrris “did not win in 39,988 simulations (49.985%),” Silver and co-author Eli McKown-Dawson explained in their final Silver...

According to CNN’s exit polls, the mood of the American electorate is undeniably bleak — a reality that spells significant challenges for Kamala Harris’s campaign. CNN’s David Chalian broke down some of the critical numbers of his network’s exit polls that highlight the national sentiment, starting with the overall “dour mood in terms of the way people feel things are going in the United States.”

Kamala Harris was caught in an embarrassing Election Day gaffe after flipping her smartphone around to the cameras while claiming to be 'on the phone with a voter' - only to reveal she wasn't on a call at all. 'Have you voted already?' a beaming Harris said into the phone. Then she paused as though listening, before exclaiming: 'You did, thank you!' The vice president then turned her phone screen around to adoring supporters at the Democrat party's Washington, DC headquarters, who applauded and cheered. But viewers at home were lightening quick to point out that her phone appeared to...

Joe Biden will not attend Kamala Harris' Election Night watch party, while First Lady Jill Biden stepped out with a bold red suit as she hopes the electoral map stays blue. Both the president and first lady - who have largely been shut out of the campaign since Harris took the top of the ticket - will be watching the returns from home. 'Tonight, the president and First Lady will watch election results in the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff,' a White House official said in a statement. 'The president will receive regular updates...

At the time of this writing, today is election day, 2024. It has been a very bumpy four years, as food prices, gas prices, utility/energy prices, housing prices, lumber prices, and so on have soared to new heights. Supply chain shortages, high inflation (due to unrestricted government spending), homelessness, loss of benefits, and a series of other losses have been at the forefront everywhere these last four years. It’s gotten so bad, that I have seen more people panhandling at busy intersections (where the traffic lights stay red for a while) than at any other time in my life. But...
