Former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighed in on the results of the White House race Wednesday, saying in a statement they hope President-elect Trump and his vice president, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), “will govern for all of us.” “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ran a positive, forward-looking campaign to be proud of. The American people have voted, and Donald Trump and J.D. Vance will be the next President and Vice President of the United States,” the Clintons said in their statement. “We wish them well and hope they will govern for all of us.” The...

An embarrassment of riches: “President Trump is supported by an impressive array of exceptionally talented individuals who bring different expertise and backgrounds to the table,” Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in September. =============================================================== Former President Donald Trump’s historic comeback marked the culmination of not just his own efforts, but those of his many surrogates and allies who will likely join him in the White House. Trump has thus far not announced any major cabinet picks, though speculation has abounded as to who may hold major posts in the second Trump administration. During the election cycle, Trump’s campaign...

Donald Trump's election victory over Kamala Harris has cemented America Ferrera's decision to flee the US in search of the 'best opportunities' for her children in the UK, insiders claim. It was reported earlier this week that the Ugly Betty alum, 40, was planning to relocate across the pond with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their son Sebastian, six, and daughter Lucia, four. Ferrera, who is said to be 'sick' that Trump was re-elected, will join a growing number of celebrities who have recently moved to the UK, amid growing tensions in the US.

Democrat Adam Frisch on Wednesday afternoon conceded to Jeff Hurd in the race to fill the seat of outgoing Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District. Hurd is a Republican from Grand Junction who spent his working life as both an attorney and small business owner before deciding recently to become a politician. ... CD3 covers much of Colorado's Western Slope as well as parts of southern Colorado, including the city of Pueblo. After a very close race for U.S. House there 2 years ago, Boebert decided to change districts. She moved east and was successful in her campaign...

When exit polls began to be released on Tuesday night, it appeared to contain a nugget that augured well for Kamala Harris. In the end, it didn't. Americans were asked who they trusted more to handle the economy. It was a win for Donald Trump — 51% picked him to 47% for Harris — but it was a much more narrow victory than would have been imaginable earlier this year when the former president was trouncing President Joe Biden regularly on the issue. It seemed to be a validation of a strategy for Harris in the final few days of...

This is gonna leave a mark. Ouch! LOL!

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this striking image of a solar flare—a bright flash at the Sun’s center—on November 6, 2024. The image shows extreme ultraviolet light, highlighting the superheated material in the flare, which has been colorized in red. Credit: NASA/SDO On November 6, 2024, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a powerful solar flare, peaking at 8:40 a.m. ET. This flare, classified as an X2.3, is intense enough to potentially disrupt radio signals, navigation systems, and power grids on Earth. It also poses significant risks to astronauts and spacecraft operating in orbit. On November 6, 2024, NASA’s Solar Dynamics...

Though Republicans seized control of the presidency and the Senate Tuesday night, Democrats have held onto the prospect of a majority in the House—but now that hope, too, is slipping. While it’s still technically possible, the Democrats’ last-ditch chance relies on flipping a significant number of GOP seats in yet-to-be-called races in western states like Arizona and California, while defending most of their own remaining vulnerable seats. Republicans are hoping to maintain, if not add to, their existing five-seat majority. This is to say it isn’t looking good for Democrats, and Axios has reported that a number of the party’s...

PDJT has not been seen or heard from since election night. His last Truth Social post was to encourage California voters to get to the polls. Is he huddled with his team, or resting?

Trump Media & Technology DJT shares were tumbling Thursday. It’s tough to see this particular “Trump trade” lasting now that the U.S. election is over. The Truth Social parent, which trades under the ticker DJT and is majority owned by President-elect Donald Trump, dropped 14% to $31.10. The benchmark S&P 500 SPX rose 0.4%.

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute community is mourning the loss of Kamala, beloved member of its Asian elephant herd and ambassador for her species. After a decade of managing and treating Kamala’s osteoarthritis, animal care staff recently noted her physical condition had irreversibly declined. They elected to humanely euthanize her Nov. 1. Born in the wild, Kamala was estimated to be around 50 years old, which is considered advanced age for this species. The elephant care team fondly remembers Kamala as a smart and inquisitive individual who held a dominant role within the herd. She built strong...

Weapon’s speed and moving launch point make it more resistant to air defenses than its ground-based counterparts and the cruise missiles used by most major powers, experts say Israel’s effective use of air-launched ballistic missiles in its response to Iran’s latest missile attack is expected to pique interest elsewhere in acquiring the weapons, which most major powers have avoided in favor of cruise missiles and glide bombs. The Israel Defense Forces said its October 26 raid knocked out Iranian missile factories and air defenses in three waves of strikes, in retaliation for Iran’s massive barrage of ballistic missiles that sent...

Control of the U.S. House of Representatives could depend on the results of several congressional races in California that are still too close to call — and whose outcome could depend on the arrival of late ballots in the mail. California allows ballots to be counted if they arrive up to seven days after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked by Election Day itself. That has left several races in Orange County and in the Central Valley hanging in the balance. Politico reported: Most pressure bears down squarely on the Golden State, where Democrats hoped to flip as...

George Clooney is being attacked by despairing fans in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’s humiliating defeat in the 2024 election campaign after the actor demanded President Joe Biden step aside in her favor. As Breitbart News reported, the Ocean’s Eleven actor, 63, notably penned an op-ed for the New York Times in July where he called on Biden, 81, to abandon his presidential campaign, writing: “We are not going to win in November with this president.” He continued, “This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor who I’ve spoken...

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, the first black woman elected to the job, is facing defeat after early returns showed Levi’s heir Daniel Lurie with a commanding lead in the 2024 election. Politico reported: Early returns show her trailing far behind Daniel Lurie, a Levi Strauss heir and nonprofit founder, who far outspent the incumbent using his personal wealth and blamed Breed for the city’s problems with homelessness, brazen theft and drug overdoses. He leads with 56 percent of the vote using the city’s ranked-choice voting system, while Breed has 44 percent. It’s a dismal showing for Breed, a moderate...

Joe Biden is reportedly trying to rush another $6 billion of security assistance to Ukraine as a last-minute order before former President Donald Trump assumes the presidency again. ... The U.S. has been one of the major backers of Ukraine since Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin ordered a military invasion in Feb. 2022. The issue became divisive in the presidential campaign as many Republicans opposed military aid to a foreign country and demanded the money be spent on U.S. citizens instead.
