Trump claims the title of 'father of IVF' in Fox News town hall with women voters • Louisiana Illuminator
But Trump insisted at the town hall his party backs IVF. Alabama rulingThe debate over IVF erupted in Alabama earlier this year after the Alabama state Supreme Court issued an opinion in February that frozen embryos constitute children under state law. That ruling forced the state’s IVF clinics to halt their work until the state legislature passed a bill providing criminal and civil protections for those clinics. Trump, replaying the timeline of events at the town hall, said: “So I got a call from Katie Britt, a young, just a fantastically attractive person from Alabama. Harris campaign pre-buttalAhead of Trump’s town hall, the Harris campaign hosted a press call Tuesday that featured Georgia’s Democratic Sens.

Here’s the October Surprise – AGF Perspectives
The surprise is that nothing surprising has happened — except in the Mideast, where fresh assaults are likely. A big surprise, in second place, is that Harris can’t get traction with Black voters. THE BIGGEST OCTOBER SURPRISE is the intensity and implications of the Gaza war, which is likely to become even more disruptive in the coming days. THE WAR’S SPREAD has alarmed the Harris campaign, which sees the images of dead civilians as complicating her path to victory in key swing states with sizable Arab American and Muslim populations. A MASSIVE ISRAELI STRIKE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WHICH IS LIKELY, will burden the Harris campaign with still another issue that could damage her candidacy.

JD Vance has repeatedly deflected questions about whether the Republican presidential nominee lost the 2020 election, saying he was focused on the future. During a rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, where Vance was asked by a reporter about his lack of straight answers so far, he was more declarative. I think there were serious problems in 2020,” Vance said. “So, did Donald Trump lose the election?

Combs assured him that did not matter and made it clear that the “only thing that mattered was having the right look for the industry,” the lawsuit says.

Strike on depot with Iranian missiles: CNN showed operation of Ukrainian Liutyi drones
The unit members refer to themselves as a long-range UAV unit and spoke about using the Liutyi drones, which are about 4 meters long with a wingspan of 7 meters. Journalists spoke with a Defence Intelligence commander with the callsign Serge and the unit commander Vector. The Ukrainian Defence Intelligence officers stated that their target was an enemy ammunition depot, specifically train cars inside a depot loaded with recently delivered Iranian missiles. The accelerated video from CNN showed 11 explosions occurring over 56 minutes between 2:22 and 3:18 AM - precisely during the period when Ukrainian drones were expected to strike the targets. At the end of September, the Ukrainian Defense Forces reported attacking a weapons depot in Russia, including a stash of Iranian missiles.

McKinsey cuts hundreds from China workforce
McKinsey is overhauling its China business after cutting back on government-linked clients and reducing the unit’s workforce by nearly 500 people, about a third of the total. Joe Ngai, the head of McKinsey’s China business, said the company’s employee-attrition rate in the country has been at its historic average of around 20%, but it has slowed hiring. Its latest strategy calls for helping multinational companies navigate China’s changes, advising Chinese companies that want to expand overseas and working with Chinese companies going through executive transitions, said Ngai. These have included China Construction Bank and China Telecom, which McKinsey advised on digitization and operation management projects. Last year, foreign consulting firms’ revenue in China fell 6.3% while local consultants increased revenue slightly, according to Chinese consulting market-research firm Shensixing.

University of Michigan Spent $250 Million on DEI, Made Students Unhappier
While other educational institutions pulled back on their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the University of Michigan doubled down, spending nearly $250 million since 2016 on employees and programming that fill this ever-expanding niche. Some 241 employees of the university work in DEI offices or have one of those key words—diversity, equity, or inclusion—in their job titles, according to the American Enterprise Institute's Mark Perry. Each and every university department, unit, and office must have a DEI action plan. This constitutes perhaps the largest DEI bureaucracy of any public university, according to an exhaustive review by The New York Times. Indeed, The Times finds that race and gender-based grievances have actually increased, with students filing more complaints than ever before.

Dr. Dre’s Former Divorce Therapist Sues Him, Alleging Harassment & ‘Homophobic’ Threats
Share LinkedIn Pin EmailValerie Macon/AFP/Getty Images/TNSThe next episode for Dr. Dre might be set in the courtroom. A legal representative for Young did not reply immediately Thursday to the Times‘ request for comment. In 2018, Sophy began offering marriage counseling to Dr. Dre, born Andre Young, and his now ex-wife, Nicole Young, who both consented to Sophy mediating the terms of their divorce, the Wednesday filing said. After working “diligently, independently, and fairly to help Young and his ex-wife resolve their disputes,” Sophy ceased contact with the couple in 2021 — when their divorce was finalized.

Texas man set to be first in US executed over shaken baby syndrome makes last appeals
A Texas man who could be the first person in the U.S. executed for a murder conviction tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome is facing a lethal injectionTexas man set to be first in US executed over shaken baby syndrome makes last appealsHOUSTON -- A Texas man who could be the first person in the U.S. executed for a murder conviction tied to a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome is facing a lethal injection Thursday evening amid assertions by his attorneys and a diverse coalition of supporters who say he's innocent and was convicted on faulty scientific evidence. One of those who has been pushing to stop Roberson’s execution is Texas GOP megadonor and conservative activist Doug Deason, who has been speaking with Abbott’s staff. Roberson’s scheduled execution has renewed debate over shaken baby syndrome, known in the medical community as abusive head trauma. But they say doctors misdiagnosed Curtis’ injuries as being related to shaken baby syndrome and that new evidence has shown the girl died from complications related to severe pneumonia. Roberson's execution is scheduled to take place on the same day Alabama is set to execute Derrick Dearman, condemned for killing five people with an ax and gun during a 2016 drug-fueled rampage.
