Pope Francis suggesting that it’s not very Christian to build a wall, Donald J. Trump responding that ISIS will attack the Vatican if he’s not in the Oval Office - has quelled, for now. The candidate who wins the Catholic vote has also won the popular vote in every election since 1972. What makes the Catholic vote unique is its ability to mimic the trends of the American populace as a whole, says Robert P. Jones of the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute. Add that to the the fact that Catholics make up almost a quarter of the U.S. population - and have a solid history of actually showing up at the polls - and you can understand why the demographic is highly sought by campaigners.

General MillsShe was known as “the most perfect model,” and in her heyday one headline proclaimed, “All New York Bows to the Real Miss Manhattan.” She earned the name not just because she was the toast of the town in the 1910s, but because her perfectly proportioned face and body inspired numerous works of sculpture that still stand in Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx today. One contemporary account concluded that Audrey Munson “posed for more public works than anyone” - at least a dozen of which are still on public display. New Yorkers may not know it, but they see Munson everywhere. Her face and body were the basis for “Civic Fame,” the statue that stands atop the Municipal Building at 1 Centre St., as

Hello GigglesDonald Trump demanded that Republicans unify behind his campaign on Saturday night, arguing that conservatives who don’t back his campaign should fear the consequences of a third-party bid. In another boisterous victory speech-press conference combo, Trump called on Sen. Marco Rubio to leave the race and suggested that he might not even bother to campaign if the “#NeverTrump” movement challenges him in the general election. Such a move, he warned, would guarantee Hillary Clinton a chance to replace the late conservative justice Antonin Scalia. “If they run a third party or an independent party, if they do that, it will make it impossible for the Republican candidate, on the assumption it’s me,
POLITICOElevator maintenance men returning to work after a month-long break for Chinese new year made a horrific discovery last week when they opened the cab of a broken lift and found the body of a woman who had been trapped inside since late January and starved to death. The gruesome incident in the western city of Xi’an, renowned as the home of China’s Terra Cotta Warriors, has sparked outrage over the apparent negligence of the elevator repair company and the building’s management office. The property managers told the Beijing Youth Daily that the elevator cab was returned to the first floor and taken out of service after workers had “confirmed” that no one was inside. Authorities said the case involved “gross negligence” on the part of the elevator maintenance company and at least one “responsible person” has been detained in connection with the investigation, according to the magazine.

Sprint®Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders fought Saturday's Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses to what seems likely to be a virtual tie. Of the three nominating contests held on Saturday, Sanders won Kansas and was projected by NBC News and CNN to win in Nebraska. Clinton was projected to win the Louisiana primary, a contest worth just under the number of delegates of Nebraska and Kansas combined. Shortly after several news outlets called Kansas for Sanders, the senator reiterated that the win proves he still has a path to securing the nomination. "We have the momentum. We have a path toward victory," Sanders said in a statement. "Our campaign is just getting started and we are going
Business InsiderWhen two men jumped the counter of a CVS in Maryland this week, store manager Joe Morici wasn’t about to sit by and let that happen. Morici, a U.S. military veteran, sprang into action and immediately ran downstairs. He directed an employee to call 911, and proceeded to bravely take on the two robbers. Instead of thanking him, however, CVS told the former sergeant he was fired, citing company policy. Morici recounted the incident on Fox and Friends Weekend, describing how the men had tried to steal prescription drugs. One had even been armed with “a large screwdriver” and tried to hit him with it, he said. Morici managed to chase the robbers out to the entrance, where he pinned one of the men
Fox News InsiderCircumcision is a decision made for many different reasons including religion, culture, hygiene, and aesthetics. However, recent research has indicated a link between prostate health and circumcision. Circumcision has long been linked to a decreased risk of developing certain STDs, including HIV/AIDS. While there has been a long debate about the benefits and risks associated with circumcision, research is now linking it with a potential decrease in risk for prostate cancer, the second-most common cancer affecting American men. Science Daily summarized the findings of a 2014 study conducted in Canada that included more than 1500 men with prostate cancer and more than 1600 in the control group
