| Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson conceded his contest to Republican rival Rick Scott on Sunday after a recount in the state showed him trailing by more than 10,000 votes. ´I just spoke with Senator Bill Nelson, who graciously conceded, and I thanked him for his years of public service. This victory would not be possible without the hard work of so many people,´ Scott said in a statement. The concession wraps up one of the most expensive Senate races of the year and ensures President Donald Trump will have a strong GOP majority in the upper chamber. (Photo/Videos) Scott´s win gives

A vote for Kavanaugh and Nelson is still a senator.
But don´t worry, Soros will find a well paying job for him.

4 new GOP Senators who will be in office through the year 2024. Whoever invented the Kavanaugh hoax should be sent flowers.

What a welcome development! Surely Gov. DeSantis can make some changes that end the Broward/Palm Beach situation. It´s a shame that Florida has such corruption in such a beautiful place.

I am going to say it again: Senator Nelson´s staff is first rate. They have done well by Floridians. I don´t even bother calling Little Marco´s office.
I wish Scott well as senator. Not sold on DeSantis but anything is better than Gillum aka Obola Jr.

The anti-Trump Women’s March that hit the streets the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration is now gearing up for a repeat event on January 19 in Washington, DC, but some of its founders are facing charges from former fellow activists that the left-wing group is promoting the bigotry and corruption it claims to oppose. Teresa Shook, credited as one of the women who launched the march on social media, spearheaded the criticism last month when she called on the women now running the “movement” to step down. Those women include Women’s March National co-chairwomen Carmen Perez, Bob Bland, Tamika

One of the more memorable holiday items of 2018 will probably have to be the chicken-scented yule logs from Kentucky Fried Chicken. The chicken chain restaurant launched its own KFC-scented Enviro-Logs on Thursday, claiming that once burning, the logs will smell like the Colonel’s signature blend of 11 herbs and spices, Fox News reported. (Video) And if there were any doubts about the appeal of chicken-scented fires, that was laid to rest by the response to KFC’s launch as the logs sold out within hours. Boy howdy, did those go fast!

It is rare that Republicans and Democrats agree on something. But the two battling factions do see eye to eye on one thing: They are troubled by stark political divides among Americans. A Fox News poll finds that 78 percent of all U.S. voters are now either “extremely or very concerned” about the polarized nation; that includes 75 percent of Republicans, 72 percent of independents and 82 percent of Democrats. According to the poll data, only health care — which concerns 83 percent of the public — outranks political division on the national roster of worries. Tied in third place,

Who would have thought that the Super Bowl Halftime show, an American institution watched by more than 100 million people, would become the least wanted gig in music? But thanks to the ongoing controversy concerning the NFL’s stance on a player’s right to protest, brought to the forefront by football’s top conscientious objector Colin Kaepernick, Maroon 5 are learning the precarious stance that the performance represents. According to sources, the band has reached out to more than a half-dozen stars to appear as featured guests during the 13-minute slot midway through Super Bowl LIII, but so far, none have agreed

Late Friday night, the FBI released a heavily redacted Christopher Steele document that James Comey used to brief then-President elect Donald Trump and former President Obama. The document, first obtained by Politico through a FOIA lawsuit, shows the FBI describing Steele as an “FBI source” who was working for “private clients,” which is a flat out lie being that he was working for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the DNC. Republicans have long argued that the FBI relied heavily, if not solely on Christopher Steele’s uncorroborated Russia dossier to launch an investigation into the Trump campaign and went to great

He’s one lucky shucker. Rick Antosh, 66, met a high-school buddy for lunch at Grand Central Oyster Bar on Dec. 5 and ordered his usual $14.75 pan roast. Diving into the stew-like dish, which includes six Blue Point oysters, he felt a tiny object rolling around his mouth. The Edgewater, New Jersey, resident feared he needed a dentist. “For a fraction of a second, there was terror,” Antosh told The Post. “Is it a tooth; is it a filling?” Turns out, it was a pea-sized pearl — which, according to Eddie Livi, owner of DSL Pearl on West 47th Street,

Too bad. May it rest in peace!´ Trump tweeted on Saturday morning. It follows an announcement on Friday that the Weekly Standard, which Kristol co-founded in 1995, will be ceasing publication.

MSNBC´s Mika Brzezinski goes on daily rants against the president, his daughter, and his administration. On Wednesday, Brzezinski outdid herself, using the homophobic slur "butt boy" to describe the nation´s secretary of state. On Friday, she apologized for her "terrible choice of words." "It was a mistake," she said. (Video) On Wednesday´s show, Brzezinski and her new husband Joe Scarborough were seething about a "Fox & Friends" interview with Secretary Mike Pompeo, who had dodged tough, direct questions about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Scarborough called Pompeo a liar. Brzezinski questioned Pompeo´s patriotism: "Is that a patriot speaking? Or a

So Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of California, has left the Republican Party, in part, because of the backlash from all the sexual allegations that swirled about Brett Kavanaugh, newly confirmed U.S. Supreme Court justice. Well, goodbye and good riddance. Cue Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust.” Siding with liars — as these Kavanaugh accusers have turned out to be — over truth-tellers, as Kavanaugh and his supporters have turned out to be, does not a good judge make.

Back in June, then-foreign minister Julie Bishop said ““While I understand the sentiment behind this resolution, the Australian government will not be moving our embassy to Jerusalem.

According to reports, once-decorated Army Maj. Mathew L. Golsteyn has been charged in the premeditated murder of an Afghani bomb maker suspected of murdering two Marines. The charge stems from actions the former Green Beret took on the field while deployed eight years ago and words he spoke with Fox News host Bret Baier six years afterward.

In October, Warren released a DNA test in an attempt to combat President Donald Trump’s many attacks on her alleged Native American ancestry. The test results showed that she has a Native American ancestor “in the range of 6–10 generations ago.” But during a commencement address at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, on Friday, Warren made clear that she does not consider herself a person of color. “I’m not a person of

Going all in on attacking President Trump isn’t proving to be a particularly effective business strategy for media outlets. The Weekly Standard, a 28-year old neoconservative institution, is reportedly headed towards dissolution after its founder, Bill Kristol, devoted almost three years of work to attacking the President and his supporters. It’s not just Kristol. The entire world of clickbait Trump-hate seems to be in jeopardy, including sites that cater to the liberal base.

The Weekly Standard will be no more. There is no real reason we are witnessing the magazine’s demise other than deep pettiness and a personal desire for bureaucratic revenge on the part of a penny-ante Machiavellian who works for its parent company. There would at least be a larger meaning to the Standard’s end if it were being killed because it was hostile to Donald Trump. But I do not believe that is the case.

If we want to stop climate change, we’ll have to stop pumping out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In order to do that, we’ll need to replace all the sources of carbon pollution—like fossil fuel plants and combustion vehicles—with clean, renewable alternatives. But there’s a problem: According to a new study, we might not have enough materials to make that happen. Plenty of high-tech electronic components, like solar panels, rechargeable batteries, and complex circuits, require specific rare metals.

California Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye told CALmatters that she had been deliberating her decision for a while but made up her mind after watching the backlash following multiple sexual assault allegations leveled against Kavanaugh. Christine Blasey Ford, a professor from Palo Alto, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September, alleging that Kavanaugh assaulted her in the 1980s when they were both high school students.

A federal judge in Texas late Friday threw the health coverage of some 20 million Americans in limbo by ruling Obamacare must be scrapped because Congress struck the penalty for failing to obtain insurance coverage. The invalidation of the landmark 2010 law is certain to send shock waves through the U.S. health system and Washington after a midterm election seen in part as a rebuke to Republican efforts to tear down Obamacare.
