In the two-and-a-half days immediately following the New York Post’s hit job on Hunter Biden, Fox News reportedly dedicated three times as much airtime to the former vice president’s son as it did to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, at least one prominent Fox host seems to be realizing that it’s not working. During a preview segment for the final debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, […]

To come of age as a woman, too often, is to learn that your body speaks for you. Maybe it starts with a holiday—you show up at Thanksgiving and a relative tenderly asks if you’re “OK” because you’ve gained weight without realizing it. Maybe it’s a headline touting the way some hot celebrity is “flaunting” a curve or “showcasing” their tight ass by simply existing in […]
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that the European Union had adopted the US style of threatening and punishing states with sanctions. “People who are responsible for the Western foreign policy and do not understand the need for mutually respectful dialogue, we probably have to suspend dialogue with them for a while. Especially since [President of the European Commission] Ursula von […]
On Sunday, President Trump accused “Radical Left Democrats” of pushing Joe Biden to ‘pack’ the Supreme Court (i.e. increase the number of justices from 9 to as many as 15), and warned that doing so would “permanently destroy the Court.” Biden has refused to answer whether he would pack the court, saying voters “don’t deserve” to know his stance. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris strategy of refusing […]
Despite over a year of failing to stop hostilities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that he will be able to end the war in Donbass, and says someone else should lead the country if he can’t.

Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) helped get Trump impeached, but now there’s a new battle: his SCOTUS pick. She worked within the government’s Internal Affairs department and became one of the impeachment managers in Trump’s case after 27 years as an Orlando police officer. And impeached he was. So on this members-only bonus episode of The New Abnormal, co-host Molly Jong-Fast asks for her thoughts on Trump’s […]
Dear Judge Barrett, Everyone who knows you says that you are a person of principle, conscience, and strong moral character. Having read much of your writing, I am inclined to agree with them. I therefore urge you to reflect on the profound moral questions that your judicial nomination process raises. I believe that if you do so, you will make the painful but necessary decision to […]
Gov. Ron DeSantis is doing nothing to prevent the Miami Dolphins from filling their 65,000-person stadium despite Florida’s continued struggle to contain the coronavirus, which has already killed over 15,000 people in the Sunshine State alone. In a stunning decision last month, the Republican governor moved Florida into Phase 3 of the state’s reopening plan, dropping all restrictions on businesses and allowing stadiums to operate at […]
In January 2016 the then Prime Minister, David Cameron, proposed a Holocaust Memorial be built in Victoria Towers Gardens, next to the Palace of Westminster.

According to scientists, the imminent creation of a new generation of super-powerful space-based telescopes makes the need to find and list potential habitable planets all the more important. A group of German and American researchers studying the 4,500-or so known exoplanets beyond our solar system have concluded that two dozen of them may be ‘superhabitable’, i.e. contain conditions ripe for life (but not necessarily life itself) […]

President Trump was being treated in the hospital for COVID-19 on Saturday, and at least nine of his party’s top officials had contracted the virus—but it made no difference to many GOP officials and campaign aides who continued to flout social distancing guidelines and host maskless, indoor events.

Guardian: Well, it’s definitely a plot twist. Like a lot of people who sat through Tuesday’s presidential debate, I’m amazed the week has ended with Donald Trump ingesting bleach, and not me. Unmasked Trump supporters called upon to ‘protect America from excess voting’ As you may vaguely have heard, the US president and his wife, Melania, have tested positive for the novel coronavirus – which feels untimely given that, mere hours […]
After spending most of the first presidential debate shouting incoherently, Donald Trump finished it off with a crystal clear message. “I’m urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully,” he said, stoking fears of potentially violent election day interference. At home in Chicago, Kayleigh Glaza missed Trump’s comment at first. “There was so much yelling and other stuff happening,” she said. One […]

LONDON—Over three million Black voters in key states were identified by President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign as people they had to persuade to stay at home on Election Day to help him reach the White House.

On March 31, 1941, MPPDA president Will Hays released his annual report, titled Motion Pictures and National Defense.

Armenia has asked the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to pressure Azerbaijan into stopping its military operation against the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Azerbaijan is violating basic human rights by targeting the civilian population and infrastructure and using indiscriminate weapons, Armenia argued. As a top European body tasked with defending those rights, the ECHR can pressure Baku into halting the hostilities, Yerevan believes. A request to do […]
Pyongyang has said it’s organizing a search to recover the body of a South Korean official, killed by North Korean troops and demanded Seoul withdraw its warships from the area, warning a flare-up can lead to another “incident.” In a statement, carried by North Korea’s state agency, KCNA, on Saturday, the reclusive nation accused Seoul of sending a flotilla of warships in “an action presumed to […]
