Man thinks he hears an intruder, shoots pregnant wife dead
The man told detectives he didn’t realize his wife was not in the room. He frantically called 911 and told dispatchers he had accidentally shot his wife, Snyder said.
The woman was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
“He gave us a pretty in depth statement, in which he said that he awoke in the middle of the night, thought he heard somebody in the house, went to investigate with a handgun, saw a shape in the hallway and fired one round and unfortunately, it turned out to be his wife,” Snyder said.
The woman was six months pregnant, and doctors were able to save the baby, WPBF reported.
Modified Ford Truck Takes California Police On Wild Ride

Even better, the modified Ford 6×6 truck he was driving should’ve been able to take that hit like a mosquito hitting a charging bull.
According to police, all the action started at about 6:30 pm when a $350,000 Ford F-550 valued at about $350,000 was stolen from the service bay of a Ford dealership in Van Nuys.

They HATE You: Kimmel Rages That He ‘Overestimated the American People’
Kimmel wasn’t alone in his bitterness as Jimmy Fallon mocked half the country that voted for Trump and Stephen Colbert made a Mussolini comparison.
Kimmel was so annoyed that he abandoned any pretense of making jokes.
He seethed, “I’m also shocked that it was this close. I mean, we reunited the cast of every movie and TV show ever made to win this election.
It is unimaginable to me that close to half of American voters saw what this man has done to this country over the last four years” [and wanted more].
Directly insulting half the country, the host raged, “What more did Trump have to do to show us that he’s insane and not fit to lead this country?
I feel like I overestimated the American people.”
Hundreds arrested after blocking traffic on I-94 in Minneapolis
According to video from the demonstration, protesters marched through Minneapolis for more than an hour before finally entering the freeway near eastbound I-94 and Riverside Avenue. Law enforcement formed a line across both lanes of the freeway and down the median, effectively surrounding the mass of protesters.
“You are all under arrest. Sit down and do it now,” an officer said through a megaphone. After some initial pushback, the protesters sat down on the freeway and awaited arrest for trespassing and unlawful assembly.

Ben Shapiro Column: The Woke Lose
Commentary/Opinion:
This is still a country that is one-third conservative, one-third liberal and one-third in the middle.
But one message resonated above all others: the outright rejection of the ongoing quest by Democrats and the media to paint Americans into racial categories and then declare demographics destiny.
Donald Trump bucked four long years of Democrats and media members labeling both him and his supporters white supremacists, bigots and homophobes.
He refused to be cowed by a media determined to paint him as a racist for refusing the faulty premise that America is institutionally bigoted.
And he won an increased share of black and Hispanic voters.

Israeli minister warns of war if Biden returns to Iran Deal
“Biden has said openly for a long time that he will go back to the nuclear agreement,” Hanegbi said. “I see that as something that will lead to a confrontation between Israel and Iran.”
Hanegbi said he is not concerned about a likely Biden victory on most fronts, including the area of settlements, but Iran is a glaring exception.
The minister told Channel 13 News that he, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and most Israelis saw the Iran Deal signed by the Obama administration in 2015 – known formally as the The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – as “mistaken – and that’s an understatement.”
“If Biden stays with that policy, there will, in the end, be a violent confrontation between Israel and Iran,” he stated.
AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID Vaccine on Track for Year End, CEO Says
AstraZeneca Plc’s coronavirus shot could be ready for large-scale vaccinations as early as this year, Chief Executive Officer Pascal Soriot said, dismissing reports of delays and production snags.
The U.K. drugmaker is poised to unveil vaccine test results by year-end even after trials were slightly delayed over the summer as infection rates slowed in the northern hemisphere.
A recent resurgence has allowed scientists to gather the clinical data they need, according to Soriot. Astra and the University of Oxford are keeping the vaccine in a frozen bulk state to preserve its shelf life while they await final test results.

Palestinians Call for Boycotting Israel, Then Ask Israel To Save Their Lives
On October 8, Erekat announced that he had been infected with COVID-19. A few days later, as his condition seemed to worsen, Erekat was rushed from his home in the West Bank city of Jericho to an Israeli hospital in Jerusalem:
The man who worked tirelessly to harm and slander Israel and who condemned Arabs for establishing relations with Israel in the end chose to seek medical treatment in a hospital belonging to the same state he has spent much of his life demonizing.
When he announced that he had been infected with COVID-19, Erekat received an offer from Jordan’s King Abdullah to receive medical treatment in the kingdom.
Expressing gratitude to the Jordanian monarch, Erekat did not take up him up on the offer.
Instead, when his health deteriorated, Erekat, along with his family and the PA leadership, ran to Israel for help.
‘The Terrorist Risk Is Everywhere’ — Macron Calls For Stricter European Borders After Recent Attacks
Macron said that many of the criminal enterprises who frequently traffic migrants into Europe are linked to terrorist organizations, Reuters reported.
“I am in favor of a deep overhaul of Schengen to re-think its organization and to strengthen our common border security with a proper border force,” the French leader said while visiting his country’s border with Spain.
The Schengen Area is a group of 26 European countries that do not have any passport requirements or other border controls for travel between them.
This means that any person who successfully migrates into one of those 26 countries could then travel freely to any of the others under the current rules.

We Gamed Out A Contested 2020 Election, And Here’s What’s Next
America voted. Now the results will be determined by a combination of local election officials, state officials, corrupt urban political machines, targeted mass violence, lawyers, judges, and even Congress.
Added into the volatile mix will be a thoroughly partisan and untrustworthy legacy media, social media giants, and even hostile foreign powers. It is 2020, after all.
Four weeks ago, I designed and ran a post-election simulation.
It was a joint project of the Claremont Institute and the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
As a U.S. Army intelligence officer, now a lieutenant colonel in the retired reserve, I’ve used countless “wargames” as a planning tool to anticipate “what ifs?” and plan responses during a period of relative calm before a storm.
Our simulation came down to Michigan and Pennsylvania,
