The current economic expansion, which began roughly a decade ago, became the longest in U.S. history on July 1, 2019, beating the previous record that lasted from March 1991 through March 2001. As today’s advance Gross Domestic Product (GDP) release confirms, economic growth continued in the third quarter of 2019, beating market expectations and adding to the expansion’s record length. The release also confirms that the Trump Administration’s policies support sustained economic growth and lead to higher incomes for American families.

Breaking: Twitter to Stop All Political Advertisements
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey released a statement on Twitter, giving his reasons for why his platform would not allow paid political advertising.
One of the reasons he gave was that, “a political message earns reach when people decide to follow an account or retweet. Paying for reach removes that decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people. We believe this decision should not be compromised by money.”

Dem. Prez Wannabe Kamala Harris Connected to Deep State and Clinton Organized Crime
Although many Americans are aware that Harris’ climb up the political ladder allegedly began the “old fashion way:” on a motel bed with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who remains a powerful political figure in California. There are other stories about Sen. Harris such as her propensity for exaggerating her past and her self-congratulating description of her education and her legal training. Yet she appears ready and able to ride-out most controversies and is still considered a contender by the Trump-hating, Democratic Party water-carriers in the majority of the nation’s newsrooms.
However, one element of the True Kamala Harris Story that the news media avoids reporting is the connection between Sen. Harris and her Deep State operative sister, Maya Harris, 52, who worked closely with the 2016 Clinton campaign and was part of Hillary’s inner-circle.
In fact, during FBI Director James Comey sham investigation of Hillary Clinton’s suspicious shenanigans, Maya Harris was one of the suspects given total immunity even before she said one word to FBI agents about Clinton’s email, her private server or any other charges against the Clintion State Department and Bill and Hillary’s financial Quid Pro Quo scam.
Maya Lakshmi Harris (born January 30, 1967) is a lawyer, public policy advocate, and television commentator. Her leftist ideology made her an excellent political analyst for the deceptive and seditious MSNBC.
Her trip into the Deep State came about in 2015 when he was appointed as one of three senior policy advisors to lead the development of an agenda for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
She also was a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress (CAP). From 2008 until she took her current position, she was Vice President for Democracy, Rights and Justice at the Ford Foundation. CAP’s website presents statistics that are at best questionable especially about President Donald Trump.

House Dems Block GOP Effort to Prevent Nationwide Fracking Ban
House Democrats blocked Tuesday consideration of a resolution in support of hydraulic fracturing as Republicans sought to protect the U.S. energy boom from Democratic presidential candidates seeking to ban fracking nationwide.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Rob Bishop, Utah Republican, affirmed that states should “maintain primacy for the regulation of hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas production on state and private lands,” and that no president should impose a moratorium without congressional approval.

The body of disgraced money man and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan federal prison cell in August, bore telltale signs of homicide despite an official ruling that he killed himself, a pioneering forensic pathologist revealed to “Fox & Friends” in an exclusive interview Wednesday.
The bombshell claim by Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner who has worked on high-profile cases during a five-decade medical career, is certain to reignite suspicions that surfaced immediately after Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges involving underage girls, was discovered dead in his cell on Aug. 10. Baden, who was hired by Epstein’s brother and observed the autopsy, told Fox News its findings are more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging. He noted that the 66-year-old Epstein had two fractures on the left and right sides of his larynx, specifically the thyroid cartilage or Adam’s apple, as well as one fracture on the left hyoid bone above the Adam’s apple, Baden told Fox News.

Kevin Spacey Won’t be Charged in Sexual Assault Case After Accuser Dies
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has formally dropped a case against actor Kevin Spacey, after the accuser died.
The accuser, a massage therapist, alleged that Spacey tried to kiss him and forced him to grab his genitals during a session in Malibu in October 2016. The accuser, who was never identified, went to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which referred the investigation to the D.A.’s office in July 2018.
The D.A.’s office has been reviewing the matter since then, and had not made a decision on whether to bring charges at the time of the accuser’s death. The accuser’s civil attorney, who had filed suit against Spacey in September 2018, notified Spacey’s lawyers that the accuser had died last month. A source told Variety that the accuser died of cancer.

Senate Republican Says Pelosi Has ‘So Much Hatred’
President Trump protected American troops by keeping House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the dark about the raid that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, a Senate Republican said.
“If you’re worried about our troops, you can tell that, I mean — Pelosi hates Trump, and she’s going to do everything she can to hurt him,” Florida Sen. Rick Scott told the Washington Examiner. “And you can’t trust them. I think Trump made a good decision.” Scott, a Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, echoed Trump’s suggestion that Pelosi might have endangered U.S. forces by leaking information about the raid. Trump’s stance drew condemnation from Democratic lawmakers, as the death of the world’s most wanted terrorist provided another opportunity for a partisan dispute in Washington.

The Anti-Israel J Street Democrats
by Ben Shapiro
This week, four of the top candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination — Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Julian Castro and Bernie Sanders — gathered at the J Street Conference to explain why the United States ought to pressure the state of Israel to make concessions to terrorists, why the Obama administration was correct to appease the Iranian regime and why American Jews ought to value the opinions of Bernie Sanders over those of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the future of Jewish safety. Two other top Democrats — Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden — sent video messages in support of the group.
By contrast, when the American Israel Public Affairs Committee held its annual conference in March, not a single Democratic presidential candidate showed up. The Democrats are, by and large, simply too ashamed to stand with an actual pro-Israel group, although prominent congressional leaders still show up to mouth nostrums about bipartisan support for Israel.
But the heart of the Democratic Party has moved against Israel. That’s because Israel is economically successful, while its enemies are not; Israel is liberal, while its enemies are not; Israel is the tip of the spear of Western civilization in an area known for its tribalism and brutality. This means that according to the radical left, Israel is an exploitative country hell-bent on domination, despite its lack of territorial ambition — Israel has signed over large swaths of land won through military victory to geopolitical enemies, and offered much more repeatedly.
So the Democrats built up and gave credence to J Street, a Trojan horse group dedicated to undermining American support for Israel and justifying left-wing hatred of the Jewish state. J Street was founded by Clinton operative Jeremy Ben-Ami and Israeli far-left political figure Daniel Levy in late 2007. One of its chief sources of funding — a source obscured in the early years by its founders — was anti-Israel radical George Soros.

And it doesn’t look like we’re going to get any ever. But to not let us ask questions? I’ve never had that. And to see someone coach a witness? This isn’t the first time. Schiff is very good at coaching witnesses. Remember? He also met with the “whistleblower.” So this is just unprecedented.”

Celebrated interfaith activist Lord Indarjit Singh has sensationally quit BBC Radio 4 after accusing it of behaving like the “thought police”. He alleges that the corporation tried to prevent him discussing a historical Sikh religious figure who stood up to Muslim oppression — in case it caused offence to Muslims, despite a lack of complaints.
The Sikh peer, who has been a contributor on Radio Four’s Thought For The Day programme for more than three decades, is also accusing Radio Four bosses of “prejudice and intolerance” and over-sensitivity in relation to its coverage of Islam, after he says he was “blocked” from discussing the forced conversion of Hindus to Islam, under the Mughal emperors in 17th century India.
The 87-year-old peer’s resignation comes as a blow to the show’s flagship segment, that has been a part of Radio Four’s Today programme since 1970, and has been described by Britain’s former chief rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks, as “one of the last remaining places in the public square where religious communities are given a voice in Britain.”

Over 50 New Species Discovered in Turkish Waters
Some 56 new aquatic species have been discovered in Turkey’s Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara seas, scientific works at Ege University Faculty of Aquaculture have shown.
“The biodiversity in Turkish seas is immense, but this abundance did not decently come to light. We worked really well in Aegean, Mediterranean and Marmara [seas]. If researches increase in the Black Sea, the diversity of species will increase as well,” Ertan Dagli, a member of the faculty, told Anadolu Agency reporters.
Samples of the newly discovered species are currently kept in the faculty’s museum, Dagli conveyed.
While examining data from the last 14 years, scientists have come across one fish, insect and shellfish, six coral, 20 arthropod and 27 annelid species.
All of the newly discovered species have entered world literature as Turkish scientists named them.
One of the species was named “Prionospio Anatolica,” an attribute to the rich biodiversity in Anatolian lands.

Meghan Murphy Greeted by Hundreds of Protesters in Toronto
I was involved in an accident the moment I arrived at the Meghan Murphy event. Less than 200 meters away from the Toronto Public Library that hosted the event, a skateboarder careened out of nowhere and hit the Uber car before skating off on his way. We pulled over immediately and I looked to find the injured person but he was long gone.
Thankfully there were three police officers immediately available to take witness statements and I was keen to give my information so I could get to the event. Unfortunately, a helpful bystander kept pointing at me and saying “She’s wrong! I saw everything!!”
This problem of people not wanting to let someone else speak first is precisely the reason Meghan Murphy, an outspoken feminist with hard views on whether or not people born male can actually be women, rallied hundreds of chanting protesters.

“Michelle Obama claims that white people are “still running” from black people and immigrants by moving out of diverse neighborhoods.” She’s be running too if someone was constantly out to rob, beat and potentially rape and murder her… Even just being looked down upon and made fun of 24/7 is bad enough to make a person run away eventually. Even just a terribly noisy neighbourhood is reason enough to leave it. She lacks basic human decency if she doesn’t understand that. (I know the real reasons behind the statement, don’t worry.)
