Ann Romney opened up about her struggle with Multiple Sclerosis during a surprise visit to a Cuban restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday. 'I was very coordinated and athletic, and all of a sudden I'm falling and tripping and losing my balance and being so weak,' Romney, the 63-year-old wife of Republican presidential nominee, told diners. 'And I was like, "Something's wrong!"'Romney was diagnosed in 1998 with the incurable neurological disease, which attacks the central nervous system and immobilizes many of its victims.

Washington - A former top aide to President Obama said Sunday the United States now held the upper hand in relations with Iran. Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said world opinion has changed since Obama took office and isolated Iran on the issue of its controversial nuclear program. "Three and a half years ago, the world was criticizing us on Iran," Emmanuel said on ABC's "This Week." "Today, the world is criticizing Iran on its attempt to acquire nuclear weapons. That's a direct change." Emanuel declined direct comment on a New York Times report the

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.-Dropping to a knee like Tim Tebow might cost you now. The New York Jets backup quarterback is trademarking "Tebowing," a move in which he goes down on one knee and holds a clenched fist against his forehead while praying during games. After Tebow led the Denver Broncos to a handful of fourth-quarter comeback victories last season, "Tebowing" swept the country _ with actor Robert Downey Jr. even doing it at the Oscars. Newsday first reported that the trademark was approved Oct. 9. Tebow says Friday he wasn't aware the trademark was official yet.

"Why is the Tea Party destroying the Republican Party?” That’s a leading question that I have been asked repeatedly from media pundits and Democratic politicians over the past three years. (Snip) — They energized a conservative movement battered by eight years of bloated Republicanism, — they shocked the political world by taking Ted Kennedy’s seat, — they put Obama Democrats in a constant defensive crouch, — they led the resistance against Obamacare, — they helped bring about the largest legislative landslide in U.S. history in 2010, — they grabbed six seats in the U.S. Senate that year,

Dayton, Ohio - An Ohio county's director of elections has resigned because he says work on the coming presidential election was too stressful. The Dayton Daily News reports that Miami County elections director Steve Quillen cited "the stress of the upcoming presidential election" in his decision. The county election board accepted Quillen's resignation Friday, just weeks before the election. He is a Republican so the county Republican Party in the key presidential battleground state will recommend his successor. The county had experienced delays in getting absentee ballots to voters,

There Were No ‘Demonstrations’
at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi

Concerning the terrorist assault on our consulate in Benghazi, David Ignatius of the Washington Post on 19 October wrote a column defending U.N. ambassador Susan Rice. He pointed out that Rice had been given CIA “talking points” that read, “ . . . the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US Embassy in Cairo.” What Ignatius fails to mention is that there were no demonstrations. None. Nada. No mob maddened by the obscure YouTube video vilifying Mohammed had ever assembled at the consulate in Benghazi. The consulate called Washington

Atheist billboard attacks Romney’s

Washington – When he campaigns in southern Florida on Monday, Mitt Romney will have an unwelcome traveling partner: a mobile billboard attacking his religion. The billboard on wheels, sponsored by American Atheists, attacks the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for its treatment of African-Americans and gays, though the church says the attacks are inaccurate. The billboard, which American Atheists says will follow the Romney campaign for seven days, features two messages on Mormonism: “No Blacks Allowed (until 1978)” and “No Gays Allowed (Current).”

After nearly a month of cringing and getting lost in their own contradictions, the Obama administration is finally clinging to an elliptical mention by the president of “acts of terror” that he claims won’t deter us from doing whatever we are supposed to do in the Mideast. What was it we were supposed to be doing over there? (Snip) Consider the ever-so-discreet caption for a photo of one of our purple-fingered frenzied friends. Against a lurid background of the U.S. Consulate in flames in Benghazi, we see a trim young man in jeans and tee-shirt. He’s holding his rifle menacingly.

Today's tracking poll from Gallup confirms that Romney has opened a consistent, and significant, lead in the race against President Obama. After dipping a point yesterday, the poll finds Romney again leading Obama by 7 points among likely voters, 52-45. Romney even leads by 3-points among registered voters, a sample which gives Democrats an advantage. The Gallup poll has been remarkably steady since Romney surged into the lead. Significantly, most of this poll was conducted after Tuesday's second presidential debate. Obama was more energetic in that debate, it would have been just about

Tammy Baldwin has come under fire for taking a $60,000 contribution from the Council for a Liveable World. In the October 18 debate with Gov. Tommy Thompson, Baldwin went on to deny having any knowledge of the group. The Council is a Pro-Iran operation that opposes sanctions against Iran and supports the current Iranian political regime. (Snip) In fact, Baldwin recently flip-flopped on the issue of sanctioning Iran. Now that she has to answer to the state of Wisconsin in her Senate campaign, rather than her usual, more liberal constituency in Madison, Baldwin has flipped on her support for sanctions

During the investigation, police found an Improvised explosive device on the scene, prompting them to issue a call for extreme caution.

In the game of poker it’s called a “tell.” A player raises his left eyebrow or licks his lower lip or makes some other unintentional but revealing gesture every time he draws a third jack or, alternatively, bluffs. A skilled opponent uses this to his advantage. In Monday night’s third and final presidential debate, we will see whether Mitt Romney is skilled enough to read Barack Obama’s “tell” on Benghazi. He already used it, tipping his hand in Debate 2, but Romney either missed it or failed to call the president out on it. (Snip) Did you notice the difference?

A week-long investigation into Guantanamo’s feline affairs couldn’t determine the case for sure. “No detainees are provided pets, and detainees are not authorized to keep animals, as they present a health and sanitation hazard,” wrote Navy Capt.

KING CITY, Calif. -- California's central valley was jiggled by a magnitude 5.3 earthquake Sunday, days after the anniversary of the big Bay Area quake of 1987, seismologists said. Sunday's shaker occurred shortly before midnight PDT and was centered outside King City, about 160 miles south-southeast of Sacramento, the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no reports of damage or injury in the rural area. The USGS said the quake occurred along California's famed San Andreas Fault, which triggered the famed 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and the Loma Prieta quake in Oct. 17, 1989, which killed 64 people

Obama “is a towering figure on foreign policy,” he argued. “I don’t have any doubt in my mind that the State Department wanted to protect every single citizen in all these embassies,” Greta Van Susteren said, “and it’s a lot easier in 20/20 hindsight to say, ‘Oh we should’ve answered that cable in a different way.’” What she didn’t understand, she added, was why the president

Moscow - Russian security forces have killed 49 Islamist militants and captured 30 others in a series of coordinated raids in the strife-ridden North Caucasus region, the country's top anti-terrorism agency claimed on Sunday. At least nine leaders of the insurgency – which is being waged across the region in an attempt to set up an Islamic caliphate – were said to have been killed and a bomb-making factory was discovered.

Nearly six weeks later, the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead is still shrouded in mystery. A clearer outline of the attack, though, is emerging. A credible witness tells Fox News that, prior to the attack, he heard a mob approaching the mission’s front gate, chanting blood-thirsty slogans, before they broke in. He said it was less like a demonstration and more like a warm-up to battle. (Snip) The attack, Fox News is told by multiple witnesses, was strong, multi-pronged and organized.

A top advisor to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney warned that the Obama administration may be about to “jettison” its international partners as the president contemplates one-on-one talks with Iran over its nuclear weapons program. Obama's side emphasized his commitment to the international coalition that the U.S. has led against Iran and credited the president with bringing worldwide pressure to bear on the Tehran regime. The two sides clashed via representatives on the Sunday morning talk shows as President Obama and Romney prepared for Monday's final campaign debate, which is scheduled to focus on foreign policy.

Libya's new government has struggled to stamp its authority on a country awash with weapons. (Snip) A recording purportedly by Mr Ibrahim later appeared on the internet denying the news.

It sounds cliched, but it is a truism: America is at a crossroads. It can continue down the path of Leviathan government and an increasing dependence on it, or America can return to the path of limited government and the kind of prosperity-producing independence on which the Founders based this great republic. The choice is yours. Our choice is the latter. And that’s why we enthusiastically endorse Republican Mitt Romney for president of the United States. He’s an exceptionally good and decent man who is a proven leader, administrator and deft politician
