Kamala Harris, and Democrats overall, made killing unborn babies in abortions the center of their campaigns in 2024 — a move that did not end up galvanizing enough pro-abortion voters to deliver Harris a victory over now-President-elect Donald Trump. Democrats pulled out all the stops: allowing free abortions outside the DNC, fear-mongering about miscarriage care, putting abortion measures on the ballot in ten states, trotting out pro-abortion celebrities, touring the nation promising to restore Roe and championing abortion throughout pregnancy. But in the face of a floundering economy and a porous southern border, abortion did not end up being a...

A devastated Kamala Harris told her scores of tearful fans to keep fighting as she conceded election defeat to Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. The emotional vice president admitted 'this is not what we wanted' as she took the stage at Howard University, almost 12 hours after the race was officially called for the former president. Harris, however, also vowed to help with the peaceful transfer of power even as she said she would continue the battle after Trump's dominant victory. As of Wednesday afternoon, the former president had swept five of the seven swing states and was on the...

The first act of a Republican Senate should be to censure Adam 'Shifty' Schiff. Is that a thing that can happen?

HELENA, Mont. – SBA Pro-Life America released the following statement in response to the passage of CI-128 in Montana. “We mourn the loss of lives and freedom in Montana with the passage of pro-abortion amendment CI-128,” said SBA Pro-Life America Western Regional Director Adam Schwend. “The abortion industry was able to run a deceptive campaign devoid of the truth by outspending the prolife side by an 83:1 ratio. The abortion lobby bought this election, tricking Montanans to put all-trimester abortion paid for by the taxpayer in the constitution by using their cash advantage to spread lies and fear. “We’re thankful...

Jefferson City, Mo. – SBA Pro-Life America this evening released the following statement in response to the passage of Amendment 3 in Missouri. “We mourn the lives that will be lost under Amendment 3,” said SBA Pro-Life Director of State Affairs Sue Liebel. “Missouri is now far less free with a late-term abortion amendment in the constitution that will enable the ACLU and abortion industry to strip Missourians of parental consent and force them to pay for abortions. The disappointing results are a reminder that human rights battles are not won overnight. Throughout history, great injustices have taken time and...

US stocks surged to record highs on Wednesday as investors digested Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election over Kamala Harris. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 3.5%, or about 1,500 points to close at a record and post its best day since 2022. The benchmark S&P 500 moved up roughly 2.5% to surpass the 5,900 level, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose about 2.9%, also clinching a new record. Outside of the presidential election, Republicans have also flipped the Senate. Control of the House of Representatives remains unclear (and likely will for days or weeks). Trump's policies had...

The team are in Somerset to investigate the remains of a small Roman villa, dating back to just after the time of the Roman invasion in 43 a.d. But previous excavations suggest it was occupied by local inhabitants rather than Roman invaders. Could it have been built on the site of an earlier, Iron Age settlement? The team are joined by Roman specialists John Creighton and Tom Moore, and Claire Ryley makes an authentic period garden. Members of the Stranglers put in a surprise appearance.Blacklands: The Iron Age Brits Who Welcomed The First Romans | Time Team | 47:29Odyssey -...

He feels berned by the Dems. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) unleashed a blistering takedown of the Democratic Party in the wake of its dramatic spate of losses on Election Day. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” the Democratic socialist said in a fiery statement on X. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And...

As more ballots are counted, the gap is closing dramatically... as much as half since last night and only 68% reporting

The forces that propelled President-elect Donald J. Trump to victory will be endlessly analyzed. Many Americans woke up on Wednesday morning shocked that he could win again. But there is no doubt about one thing: Mr. Trump was a ferociously effective campaigner. To watch him up close on this third run for president was to see him blend comedy, fury, optimism, darkness and cynicism like never before. He was an expert communicator, able to transmute legal and mortal peril to build upon his self mythology. He won new supporters and kept old ones in thrall. At dozens of events, I...

MSNBC host Joy Reid raged at Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida Tuesday night after a ballot measure to loosen restrictions on abortion failed to pass. Florida’s law restricting abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy remains in force after Amendment 4 failed to reach the 60% threshold to be adopted as an amendment to the Florida constitution. Reid called DeSantis’ campaigning against the ballot measure “openly fascist.” WATCH: video on link “He’s put everything on it, including threats, whatever it takes to try to make sure that that amendment fails using the power of government in a way that...

In an election season full of twists, one voter block stood out: Gen X, those born roughly between 1965 and 1980, showed a surprising amount of support for Donald Trump. This generation’s support isn’t coming out of nowhere—it’s rooted in values, past experiences, and a bit of that trademark Gen X skepticism. So, let’s break down why this generation, known for its rebellious edge and disdain for conformity, seems to be leaning conservative. They Lived Through a Different America, and They Miss It Generation X was raised by sons and daughters the “greatest generation” and learned to respect the values...

With Republicans back in control of the Senate, the real drama begins next week when lawmakers return to Washington. Three contenders are jockeying to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as GOP leader: Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida. The leadership vote is slated to take place Nov. 13. McConnell, the longest-serving party leader in Senate history, announced in February he would step down from the role following this year’s elections. The mild-mannered Kentucky sage had a bitter falling out with former President Donald Trump during the aftermath of the 2020...

Kamala Harris' embrace of former GOP congresswoman Liz Cheney contributed to her election loss to Donald Trump, according to an advocacy organization representing Muslim Americans. Harris sought to utilize endorsements from Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, to court Republican voters who might have been uneasy about supporting Trump. Last month, she teamed up with Liz Cheney for events in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. That strategy proved unsuccessful as Trump triumphed after carrying all three of these "blue wall" states, which President Joe Biden won in 2020. There had been concerns that Muslim...

Oregon is set to receive $40 million in a settlement agreement with Kroger, the parent company of Fred Meyer and QFC, to resolve lawsuits over its alleged role in helping fuel the opioid epidemic. The payment finalizes a deal Kroger reached last September to settle most of the claims made by states, local governments and Native American tribes that accused the grocery chain’s pharmacies of contributing to the opioid epidemic. While Kroger did not admit to any wrongdoing or liability as part of the deal, the grocer agreed to pay up to $1.37 billion over 11 years. As part of...

Kamala Harris conceded the US presidency to Donald Trump in a passionate speech Wednesday. “My heart is full today. My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve,” the vice president, 60, said while at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington, DC. “The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never...
