Nancy Pelosi Teases Decision About Her Future in Congress

Image
“This is a time, long overdue, for healing,” she said, quickly adding that the Republican Party, which she said she once respected, had been “yielding to a cult — to a thug, actually, as I see it.” Around the same time the interview aired on Monday, the person she was referring to, former President Donald J. Trump, called her an “animal” at a rally in Ohio, where he was campaigning for the Republican Senate candidate JD Vance. “She impeached me twice, for nothing,” the former president said. After the attack on Mr. Pelosi, Mr. Trump also fanned a baseless conspiracy theory that flourished in right-wing media, which claimed that the assault was an inside job and that Mr. Pelosi had a relationship with his assailant. “The glass, it seems, was broken from the inside to the out,” the former president falsely claimed. “So it wasn’t a break-in, it was a break out.” Ms Pelosi said the spread of misinformation after the assault was “really sad for the country. That people of that high v...

Trump Lawyer Warns Ron DeSantis Not To Run Against Him

Image
An attorney for Donald Trump appeared to warn Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis against opposing the former president in the 2024 presidential election. (Watch the video below.) “DeSantis is DeSantis because of Trump,” Alina Habba said on the Right Side Broadcasting Network during a Trump rally in Vandalia, Ohio, Monday. “I like what DeSantis is doing in Florida, but he needs to stay in Florida.” Interviewer Christina Bobb , also a lawyer for Trump, chimed in “100%.” “Just stay where you are. You’re doing a great job in Florida,” Habba continued. Both agreed that DeSantis would fare better in 2028. “Don’t jump the gun,” Bobb advised. “He’s not ready yet,” Habba added. The relationship between Trump and DeSantis has reportedly soured as the Florida governor has positioned himself as a possible GOP rival for president. On Saturday, Trump called him “Ron DeSanctimonious” at a Pennsylvania rally. Some conservatives accused the former president of sowing dissension in the GOP’s own r...

Dogs Gifted To South Korea By Kim Jong Un At Center Of Controversy

Image
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A pair of dogs gifted by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in 2018 are now mired in a South Korean political row, with the country’s former president blaming his conservative successor for a lack of financial support as he gave the animals up. Moon Jae-in, a liberal who left office in May, received the two white “Pungsan” hunting dogs – a breed known to be indigenous to North Korea – from Kim following their peace summit in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang in September 2018. The dogs are officially considered state property, but Moon took the pair and one of their seven offspring home after he left office. The move was made possible by a change of law in March that allowed presidential gifts to be managed outside of the Presidential Archives if they were animals or plants. But Moon’s office on Monday said he decided he could no longer raise the three dogs because the current government of President Yoon Suk Yeol was refusing to cover the costs for th...

Consumer confidence is near its lowest in a decade, and that could be a problem for Biden

US President Joe Biden speaks during a DNC rally in Miami Gardens, Florida, US, on Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022. Eva Marie Uzcategui | Bloomberg | Getty Images Anxiety about the cost of living and the direction of the economy could prove costly to President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats in Tuesday’s election. Recent surveys show consumer sentiment has risen only modestly and remains well below where it was a year ago, when inflation worries first began to grip policymakers, shoppers and business executives. A report released Friday outlined the problem for Washington’s current ruling party. The University of Michigan, which releases a closely watched sentiment survey each month, asked respondents who they trusted more when it came to the economy and which would be better for personal finances. The result: overwhelmingly Republican. The survey of 1,201 respondents saw Republicans with a 37%-21% edge on the question of which party is better for the economy. While that left a wide...

FTX Token (FTT) Price Prediction 2022 – 2025: Is FTT Closer to a Collapse?

Image
The previous year turned out to be the wealthiest season for altcoins. As most of those had outperformed the most dominant asset Bitcoin. One such asset that amazed the crypto space with massive price spikes in Q1 was the FTX token. The FTX is built on the ERC-20 token and is a crypto derivatives exchange. It aims to provide institutional-grade solutions by offering futures, leveraged tokens, and Over Counter (OTC) trading.

Binance wishes to sell all of its holdings on FTT Tokens BASED ON THEIR PRIOR EXPERIENCE. Earlier this year, Terra (LUNA) collapsed, so Binance wants to be prepared this time with FTT tokens.

Or will it be able to successfully regain the trust of investors and the market in the upcoming days?  Are you one of the many investors, who have been try...

Photo Credit: Activision Composer Sarah Schachner abruptly departs the ‘Modern Warfare II’ soundtrack project, citing challenges working with the game’s audio director, Stephen Miller. Composer Sarah Schachner has stepped down from scoring the soundtrack for  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.  She recently posted a letter on  Twitter  citing “challenges in the working dynamic with the game’s audio director,” Stephen Miller — though Miller is not mentioned by name in her post. “Over the past couple of months the working dynamic with the audio director has become increasingly challenging and I don’t see any path forward,” Schachner writes.  “While I don’t have any control over how the music is presented in-game, what will be released on the soundtrack is not my artistic intent in regards to mixing and mastering.” Requests from fans eager for a release date on the game’s soundtrack after the title’s debut on October 28 continued to pour in.
