Dentist who killed Cecil the lion slammed for slaughtering rare sheep in Mongolia......

Walter Palmer, 60, paid up to £80,000 to slaughter a huge ram in Mongolia, it has been reported. However, after the furious backlash caused by Cecil's death, the American's face is hidden in photos from the hunt.

Palmer faced death threats - which finally forced him into hiding - after he paid a reported £35,000 bribe to gamekeepers to hunt the lion in a national park.

Two men said to be guides on his African hunting trip were charged with poaching offences after the famous lion, a national treasure in Zimbabwe, was shot, skinned and beheaded.

And now animal rights campaigners have slammed the trigger-happy dentist for his latest kill.

Well la de dah.......could be new year of the woman for gop......

More women ran for office in 2018 than ever before, which led to a record number of women in Congress. Overall, the share of House and Senate seats held by women increased by 4 percentage points, from 20 to 24 percent — adding more women to the ranks than in any other election cycle since 1992.

However, these gains were primarily driven by Democratic women, who ran in large numbers: Almost three-quarters of the women who ran for Congress in 2018 were Democrats. But 2020 looks different. More Democratic women are still running for office than Republican women — and more Democratic women are running than in 2018 — but as the chart below shows, the share of all female candidates who are Republican has grown substantially, up from about a quarter in 2018 to 39 percent.
