Posted by Nonini for Idaho Lt. Governor on Sunday, October 15, 2017 A congressman is facing some well-earned backlash after a recent statement about abortion shocked even his most pro-life supporters. Idaho Senator Bob Nonini is currently running in the state's lieutenant governor race, and during a panel hosted by CrossPolitic on April 2, Nonini suggested the death penalty should be considered as punishment for women who have an abortion. "There should be no abortion, and anyone who has an abortion should pay," the senator said according to the Associated Press. When moderators pressed him on the matter and asked if he considered the death penalty a possible punishment, Nonini reportedly nodded in agreement. 41262255 After news of his controversial statement broke, Nonini and his campaign seemed to be scrambling.

5 Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoos That Will Clarify Your Hair in 1 Use 5 Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoos That Will Clarify Your Hair in 1 Use Achieving and keeping clean hair (as in the lightweight and bouncy kind you can't stop running your hands through) isn't always an easy feat, but experts say the secret to gunk-free (add to that nourished and strong) strands could be right in your kitchen cabinet. "Apple cider vinegar can act as a natural clarifier for buildup or an oily scalp. It's great to use an alternative to harsh shampoos that can strip your hair from natural oils. It also leaves hair with incredible shine," says Liana Zingarino, a hairstylist at the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in New York. This is especially true in the days of dry shampoo and lived-in hair. "The cider works to remove residue from all of those styling products and impurities to make your hair feel squeaky clean," explains Giovanni Vaccaro, creative director at Glamsquad.

So, Brad Pitt Reportedly Has a New “Fascinating” Lady Friend in His Life

News broke last month that Angelina Jolie is reportedly dating again after splitting from Brad Pitt in 2016. But if you thought Brad was at home moping around, think again. According to Page Six, the 54-year-old actor has also been spending time with MIT professor Neri Oxman. The two reportedly met after Brad was referred to Neri to collaborate on an architectural project, and they quickly became friends. "Brad and Neri instantly hit it off because they share the same passion for architecture, design, and art," a source told the publication. "This is best described as a professional friendship. Their friendship has not turned into romance, as both are cautious and this is, again, more of a professional friendship, but Brad is very interested in spending more time with Neri. She is fascinating." A close friend also confirmed to Page Six that Brad and Neri have been hanging out. "You are correct that they are just friends and she is very impressive." Even though Brad and Neri are on..

If the Leaky Cauldron Served Mimosas, Hermione Would Use This $16 Cup at Brunch

Picture this: it's "19 years later," and the Harry Potter crew have just dropped their kids off at Platform 9 3/4 to catch the Hogwarts Express to school. Harry hasn't felt his scar tingle in nearly two decades, and "all is well" with him and his friends, so they decide to pop over to Diagon Alley and take advantage of the Leaky Cauldron's new boozy brunch menu. Hermione Granger orders the bottomless mimosas — proving yet again the she's obviously the brightest witch of her age — but when Tom the barkeep reads back her order, she can't help but correcting his pronunciation: "It's mimOsa, not mimosA." . . . OK, OK, so the Wizarding world probably doesn't have bottomless boozy brunch specials — though, technically, any brunch served at Hogwarts would be all-you-can-eat thanks to the magically refilling platters in the Great Hall. But you can still take after Hermione when enjoying your Sunday-morning mimosa thanks to this cheeky Harry Potter wine gla..

How I Keep the Magic of the Tooth Fairy Alive For Both My Son and Daughter

"OH, NOOO!" my 7-year-old son recently shrieked from his bedroom in the middle of the night, the walls echoing with his sobs. I jumped out of bed half asleep, racing in with all my might, terrified of what would be causing his distress. "I lost my tooth! But I can't find it!" he wailed through the tears. "It must have fallen out in bed," I assured him. After searching bleary-eyed for a few minutes without success, I promised him we would find it in the morning. Thankfully, this assuaged his fears and he drifted back into his childhood slumber. His innocence about something as basic as the illusion of the Tooth Fairy captivated me. I had to keep this wonder alive.But come morning, the tooth was nowhere to be found. After stripping the sheets, and even moving the bed to peek in every possible crevice, we inevitably concluded that he must have swallowed it, and that there was no possible way to get it back (thankfully, he didn't ask about that option). "How will the Tooth Fair..
