Fox News on Monday cut away from a press conference during which White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany accused Democrats of welcoming fraud and illegal voting. She is charging that the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I cant in good countenance continuing showing you this, Fox News host Neil Cavuto said on air as the network cut away from the press conference in Washington, D.C. Maybe they do have something to back that up but thats an explosive charge to make that the other side is effectively rigging and cheating, Cavuto continued. Fox News has left the chat. pic.twitter.com/SwW9cq9bJI The Recount (@therecount) November 9, 2020 The move represented a notable shift for Fox, which often airs President Trum...

Average of almost 2,000 women and 411 children in receipt of support each month

There was a sharp increase in the number of women and children seeking support from domestic violence services during the first six months of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Of those women and children, an average of 575 women and 98 children accessed the service for the first time. The number of women accessing services decreased by 8 per cent between March and April as lockdown restrictions were put in place across Ireland. Since April, however, the number of women accessing services has steadily increased each month, with August being the only month which whic...

It’s great news that a coronavirus vaccine is highly effective in an early trial. But there are few details and many caveats, so let’s not celebrate too quickly

Lets allow ourselves a moment of elation at the news that the first coronavirus vaccine has not only been developed in record time, but appears to be highly effective. Woot, woot! Now that weve gotten that out of our system, lets remember that while the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has declared that its vaccine is 90 per cent effective, the details are scant and the caveats are many. Story continues below advertisement Determining how well a vaccine works is difficult at the best of times, especially for respiratory viruses. Doing so quickly, with a novel coronavirus and an innovative technology many times more so. The results that are making headlines around the world are preliminary, and they have yet to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. While Pfizer and its partne...

McEnany said, “There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the count room, that party my friends is the Democrat party. You dont take these positions because you want an honest election. You dont oppose an audit of the vote because you want an accurate count. You dont oppose our effort at sunlight at transparency because you have nothing to hide. You take these positions because you are a welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting.” Cavuto said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear. Shes charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting, unless she has more deta...

Is Sam Allardyce the man to save Leeds United? Well, one Whites supporter certainly thinks so as Danny rang into talkSPORT to vent after his beloved Leeds lost 4-1 for the second match in a row. Marcelo Bielsa’s side may still be 15th in the Premier League and seven points clear of the bottom three, but they have faded somewhat after their excellent start to the season and results are going against them. It’s been a bad week for Leeds with two 4-1 defeats on the bounce Leeds have lost three of their past four matches, with each of the previous two going against them 4-1; first to Leicester, and then to Crystal Palace on Saturday. The manner of the defeats is certainly a worry for Bielsa, with Leeds now conceding more goals than any other Premier League side this season (17), and with ...

Reports of waste and abuse in the Paycheck Protection Program inundate government watchdogs and federal prosecutors

WASHINGTONThe federal government is swamped with reports of potential fraud in the Paycheck Protection Program, according to government officials and public data, casting a shadow on one of Washingtons signature responses to the coronavirus pandemic. Congress and the Trump administration designed the PPP to give small businesses fast and easy access to taxpayer funds, and it worked: About $525 billion in loans were distributed to 5.2 million companies between April 3 and Aug. 8.
