"I know words, I have the best words." Although President Trump claims he knows the "best words," his daughter Ivanka is catching some heat for her own word choice. In an interview discussing tax reform with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Ivanka appears to have made two mistakes. "Indeniably itÂ’s very expensive to raise children that is you're a stay at home parent who's investing in potentially after school activities, mommy and me classes, food and whatever it is that they think is the best investment to help their family and their children." If you didnÂ’t catch them, the world...

Hope Hicks was a fashion hit after sporting a chic black-and-white tuxedo during President Trump’s state dinner with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe. The 29-year-old White House communications director earned raves for her look, which many called “edgy” and “sexy.” Hicks softened her look with feminine pink lipstick, smoky eye makeup, and flowing brunette locks. Some media outlets tried to play up a faux rivalry by claiming Hicks had “upstaged” First Lady Melania Trump, who wore an elegant red evening gown. But the truth is, they both looked gorgeous. The pictures don’t lie. Hope Hicks was named White House communications...

It’s already well-established that CBS’s Superior Donuts has a very clear bias and agenda, especially when it comes to race, Christians, and its main target - police officers. The episode on Monday, November 6, “Is There a Problem, Officer?” was no exception, with a ridiculous storyline that attempted to make all police officers appear guilty of brutality. Even "the good ones" (which the vast majority are). The show takes place in Chicago, which is known for its high rate of crime, especially gang-related shootings and murders, so working as a police officer in those circumstances requires much bravery and sacrifice....

China has already made significant progress in the space plane's development, the nation's space officials have said. "Currently, China is developing its own reusable earth-to-orbit space vehicles that can take off and land horizontally," Liu Shiquan, vice director of the state-owned China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation (a different entity than the CASC), said this past June, according to the People's Daily, a newspaper published by the Chinese Communist Party. "We have already finished several crucial ground tests for engines and [other key components], yielding remarkable achievements," Liu added. The space-plane goal lines up with China's ambitious spaceflight posture. For...

At the link is a youtube video that is 6:10 minutes in length and purports to be from the group known as Anonymous.

I will list the content directy below the video in which...

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - A bullet narrowly missed a woman's heart after police say she fought off a group of teenaged robbers. It happened in Stockbridge. The family told Channel 2's Chris Jose they're offering $10,000 of their own money to find the suspects. On Friday, Van Anh Ho picked up three teenagers who asked for a ride to school. When they told her to park here near a Walmart, police told Jose she got suspicious and jumped out of her SUV. One of the suspects fired a gun. Even though she was wounded, Ho fought back, said her daughter,...

Legal experts are becoming increasingly concerned over the professional conduct of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team... Last week, Paul Manafort and his former business associate and protégé Rick Gates were told to surrender to federal authorities, making them the first to be charged by Special Counsel Mueller and his team. The indictments, which were leaked by the special counsel to CNN the Friday before, were secured and unsealed in a manner that raises questions over whether the special counsel was trying to divert attention from several damning reports... Only days before the indictment, it was revealed the campaign...

Zahi Hawass, who heads the ScanPyramids science committee overseeing the project, said there was no new "discovery". He said he had met other scientists from ScanPyramids who "showed us their conclusions, and we informed them this is not a discovery," he told AFP. "The pyramid is full of voids and that does not mean there is a secret chamber or a new discovery," he said. In a statement on Friday, the head of the government's antiquities council Mustafa Waziri also criticised the announcement. "The project has to proceed in a scientific way that follows the steps of scientific research and...

'Crack was more important than my son' A mother's horrific account of her descent into drug addictionShe had a £3,000-a-day crack habit and her three-year-old had to watch as she was beaten by a partnerShe realised her £3,000-a-day crack habit was out of control when her three-year-old son saw her being beaten by her partner.

The horrifying incident was the peak of a 13-year addiction to drugs, which started with cocaine when Araminta was a teenager. But it...

On Saturday, the mad Swedes at Koenigsegg did something truly remarkable: in an Agera RS, a factory driver achieved an average speed of 277.9 mph during two runs on Nevada’s Route 160 between Las Vegas and Pahrump. This may make the Agera RS the world’s fastest street legal production car. Now you can see what those runs looked like from the driver’s perspective. The nice folks at Racelogic sent us the video recorded by the VBOX HD2 during the two runs, and if you’ve ever been curious what approaching 290 mph looks like from the cockpit, you’re about to find...

Summer Caddel said her boyfriend, Johnnie Langendorff, called her moments after shooting at First Baptist Church and told her she saw a gunfight between the shooter and a neighbor, who was returning fire.

In the winter, when Interstate 70 shuts down at exit 205 due to car crashes or a deluge of snow, Silverthorne police chief John Minor gives his officers the same piece of advice: “You better have your head on a swivel and your head in the game, because it’s about to get a little sporty.” For the officers and state patrollers who ride herd over the chaotic cattle drive of cars and semis during an interstate evacuation, being on high alert means the difference between life and death. “If you’re actually on the interstate staffing that closure just before the...

Why is fox news even talking about gun control?
