Trump made the remarks during his keynote speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Policy Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday and also criticized what he described as “gender ideology.” The former president is weighing in on an issue that has rapidly become a major point of contention for Republicans: discussions of gender and sexual identity in the classroom. “Pushing woke gender ideology, think of it, on young people, is nothing less than child abuse,” Trump said....

“.@FoxNews Polls are totally FAKE, just like they were in 2016. I am leading in all of the states mentioned, which you will soon see,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “I thought Fox was getting rid of its pollster. Sadly, it never happened!” Fox, which is typically the president’s favorite network, conducted statewide surveys of likely voters in four key battleground states ahead of the November 3 election, finding that Biden received the majority of support in all but one....

Votes were still being counted Tuesday night in the Democratic primary runoff between state Senator Malika Sanders Fortier and Yolanda Flowers. This fall, the winner will face incumbent Republican Governor Kay Ivey who easily won her primary. Ivey, who has a high approval rating in the Republican-leaning state, is favored to win. But AL.com reports that the race will be the first all-woman gubernatorial election in state history. Ivey is only the second woman to hold the governor’s mansion in Alabama, according to the news outlet....

Fact-checking website Snopes states that the convoy of pickup trucks that were seen on video surrounding a Biden-Harris bus on Texas’ Interstate 35 was partly organized in a private Facebook page called “Alamo City Trump Train.” The report also notes that messages between the group’s members suggested that they were armed with guns. According to Snopes, on October 30, one group member posted “#OperationBlockTheBus RN,” with “RN” referring to “right now....

“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement released Thursday. “Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.” Zuckerberg pointed to Wednesday’s attack as the event that prompted Facebook to decide on extended the suspension of the president’s account....

Trump held the fundraiser for Michigan Republican congressional candidate John Gibbs, who is opposing freshmen GOP Representative Peter Meijer. Gibbs served in the Trump administration as an official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Meijer drew Trump’s ire after he joined nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach the then-president in January 2021 for inciting his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol. During remarks at the event, the former president asked the crowd gathered for the fundraiser, “Where’s gays for Trump?...

Twitter users were quick to point out the number of states in America after the president told voters in the state that being ranked fiftieth was an acceptable place to be. Trump’s comments came as he spoke at a rally at the CenturyLink Center in Bossier City where he endorsed first-time Republican candidate Eddie Rispone for governor—a seat the GOP would love to take from Democrats after losing out in the Kentucky governor race last week....

Over the course of 232 pages, the documents detail how Trump, his chief of staff, and other allies, campaigned for top officials at the Justice Department to investigate the results of the election that found Joe Biden defeated Trump. One email sent from his assistant shows Trump requested incoming acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to look into purported evidence of election fraud in northern Michigan. The email came after a federal judge had already thrown out a lawsuit filed by one of Trump’s lawyers using the same claims....

Of 12 main candidates, only two embraced a system that appropriated the “language of war,” that researchers at the University at Buffalo and Georgia State University refer to as “strategy.” One of those candidates was Donald Trump. The other was John Kasich, the last person to drop out of the Republican primaries, leaving Trump the party’s presumptive nominee for 2016. Researchers writing in the International Journal of Communications analyzed all of the GOP candidates’ tweets posted during the primary stages of the 2016 presidential campaign—more than 22,000, in total—using a topic network designed to work with big data....

The death toll has climbed to nine and includes three women, two eight-month old twins and four other children, who were members of the LeBaron family that had settled in the hills of northern Mexico years ago. Footage has emerged showing the remains of one burned out SUV ditched along a road in a remote area. The motive for the killings on Monday which took place on a dirt road bordering the U....

As Trump prepares to leave the White House, Iranian officials are celebrating what they see as their victory over his administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign, designed to cripple Iran’s economy and isolate it internationally. Trump and his team failed to force Tehran back to the negotiating table to make a new nuclear deal, having abandoned the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2017. Sanctions, assassinations and military posturing have taken a serious toll on Tehran, but the regime there looks to have outlasted the Trump administration with just weeks of the president’s term remaining....

RMS Titanic’s billing by its operator White Star Line as “unsinkable” is a byword for tempting fate, but a letter signed by French girl Mathilde Lefebvre and dated April 13, 1912, gave no inkling of what was to befall the liner on its maiden voyage. “I am throwing this bottle into the sea in the middle of the Atlantic. We are due to arrive in New York in a few days....

And that’s just the tip of this iceberg of tastelessness. Icebox.com, the newly launched flash animation site that runs Mr. Wong, has enough coarse content to offend everyone. (In the show “Hard Drinkin’ Lincoln,” for instance, the former president jokes that the last time he was drunk he freed the slaves.) The cofounders–veterans of shows like “King of the Hill” and “The Simpsons”–started the Web site in part as an incubator for edgy shows that can be sold to network and cable producers....

Miami, which is on a short turnaround following its 21-19 victory over Buffalo, will head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in a “Thursday Night Football” matchup. Whether starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be able to play remains to be seen. Tagovailoa suffered what appeared to be a scary hit to his head in the second quarter of Sunday’s game vs. the Bills, prompting many to think he had a concussion....

Neymar, 27, is set to be sidelined until April after suffering a foot injury last month. In two games without their injured star, PSG crushed Rennes before losing their first Ligue 1 match of the season to Lyon on Sunday. Tuchel said he saw no reason for Mbappe – who has scored 22 goals in 25 games this season – to change his role with Neymar sidelined. “I usually prefer Kylian to be the finisher – when he’s our last line of attack against the opposing defence,” he told a news conference....

Carlson was interviewing Republican Representative Mike Turner, who has urged President Joe Biden’s administration to “take swift action” with regard to the Russian forces in a letter with other GOP members of Congress. He pressed Turner on why he was urging the administration to do more for Ukraine and eventually asked why the U.S. should be supporting the country instead of backing Russia. Turner, who represents Ohio’s 10th district, began by thanking Carlson for highlighting the issue but the Fox News host proceeded to grill the Republican about his position....

During his opening monologue on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday night, Carlson argued that climate activism has become “a performative stunt mixed with hypocrisy” and criticized Democrats, including 2020 Democratic candidates, for promising to “crack down on your cheeseburgers while flying across the country private.” The issue of climate change was discussed to varying degrees across cable channels throughout the day after 16-year-old Thunberg delivered a scathing and emotional speech at the United National Climate Action Summit, where she condemned world leaders for failing to properly address climate change....

“I think I’ve done the full Grassley,” Carlson said at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, which saw the gathering of more than 1,800 religious conservatives. Carlson was referring to Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, who visited the state’s 99 counties during his campaigns—something seen as a basic litmus test to show how serious a candidate is about running for president. Grassley himself was one of Carlson’s warm-up acts at the conference....

Bobulinski claims to have information connecting former Vice President Joe Biden to questionable business dealings in China. He told Carlson he has documentation and electronic devices that will implicate both the Democratic nominee and his son, Hunter. His claims are unverified at this time. Joe Biden has denied accepting payments from a foreign source, while he and some prominent Democrats have called the unproven allegations part of a “Russian disinformation” campaign....

In his monologue on the eve of the election, the Fox News host said the results in Virginia will shine a light on the influence of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Barack Obama, who have all appeared with McAuliffe on the campaign trail. In comparison, Donald Trump hasn’t campaigned with the GOP candidate, Glenn Youngkin, despite frequently endorsing him, with Youngkin appearing to distance himself from the former president during his campaign....
