There was a clash of opinions during a Bill Maher panel Friday night over whether former President Trump would pick his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley as his vice president.
Following his major victory at the Iowa caucuses, Trump is now widely seen as the presumptive Republican nominee, which is already fueling conversations on who his running mate would be. After months of hedging on the subject, Haley told voters in New Hampshire this week “I don’t want to be anybody’s vice president” while Trump said at a rally Friday night she “probably” won’t be on the ticket.
During the “Overtime” segment of his HBO show, Maher asked his panel who is on Trump’s running mate short list, first naming Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who has gotten VP buzz in recent weeks.
“She used to be a normal and then became a Trump crazy,” Maher said.
Despite the ongoing tension between Trump and Haley, MSNBC host Ari Melber responded by saying Trump would pick the former South Carolina governor, sparking an immediate “no” from Maher.
“I think he’s teamed up with people who’ve said way worse things- [Ohio Senator] JD Vance wrote a whole book and launch his career attacking Trump,” Melber said.
“He doesn’t care about any of that,” Maher responded.

“Although there are parts of MAGA as we discussed that might not love her,” Melber continued, “if Trump says this is it, and he’s very practical and she would help in the suburbs, which is his biggest general election vulnerability. I think there’s a lot of the actual numbers people around Trump who are trying to get them to think about that. It would probably give him several points.”
Melber later added, “Bill, you said tonight it looks like he can get reelected. He definitely could. But he got 3 million fewer votes in 16. He got 7 million fewer votes in 20. And they had bad midterms and the Democrats have won every state-based special election in the last year. If he’s gonna win, which he could, he’s can’t run as the 20 or 16 version of him. And the ticket is the first, largest way to say to the suburbs I’m a little different.”
“The trouble with Nikki is that she makes, sort of, Dick Cheney look like the Dalai Lama,” Substack writer Andrew Sullivan chimed in. “There is not a country she wouldn’t invade, not a country she wouldn’t bomb. She is the most unreconstructed neocon I’ve ever come across in politics.. And Trump’s entire message is I’m not an unreconstructed neocon!”
“You’re giving voters way too much credit,” Maher pushed back. “This is not what they’re thinking about!”

Sullivan doubled down, “No, I think one of the issues that helped him are the people who are sick of these wars! And when they have someone who seems like they want to get into more wars, they are not going to like it. It’s a big issue!”
“I don’t think voters expect the running mate to set foreign policy, period,” Melber responded.
“I don’t think they think about foreign policy,” Maher asserted before acknowledging Ukraine as something they care about only because it’s “holding up immigration.”
“They care about this country. What’s going on in this country just the way most people watch local news, they don’t want national news,” the HBO host said.
“They don’t want the wars, which Nikki represents. That’s their position on foreign policy,” Sullivan said before Melber added, “The median Trump voter doesn’t think that he’s going to take the cues from her on that.”

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
This Old Testament Bible verse foretells Christ’s birth and mission as delivered by the prophet Isaiah, whose ministry spanned 60 years, according to Israelmyglory.org.
One North Carolina-based ministry leader today says he is “fascinated” by Old Testament prophecies, noting that there are “hundreds of them.”
The prophets “pronounced their prophecies approximately 700 years before the child we celebrate at Christmas was born in human form in the little town of Bethlehem,” Judge Phil Ginn, president of the Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, told Fox News Digital via email.
“Here’s the striking part,” Ginn continued. “The Jesus we know and worship as Christ-followers fulfilled all of the prophecies that speak of his first coming over 2,000 years ago.”
Ginn also said that the scientific and statistical prospects for this occurring are “quite staggering.”
“Mathematician Peter Stoner [used] the science of probabilities and determined that if Jesus fulfilled only eight of the Messianic prophecies, it is equivalent to the probability of one in 10 — followed by 17 zeros,” Ginn continued.
He said that, according to Stoner, “that many silver dollars” would “cover the entire state of Texas 2 coins deep.”
He continued, “Then, if you marked one of the dollars, stirred the whole mess and asked a blind man to find the one that was marked, you could begin to understand the unique standing of Jesus as the promised Messiah of both Israel and the entire world as well.”
Maybe it is time we “followed the science” as we celebrate Jesus’ human birth, he added.
“Isaiah reminds us that another name for our Messiah will be the Prince of Peace,” Ginn also said.
While we pray, “especially at Christmastime for peace on earth,” there will “be no peace until Christ is on his earthly throne,” Ginn continued.

“So, while we look forward each year to our celebration of Christmas, the true followers of Christ anxiously look forward to his coming again,” he underscored.
“The Bible tells us that one day the eastern sky will explode with the glory of our new king,” Ginn also said.
“It is that same Bible which so accurately foretold of the first coming of the Christ child so many years ago,” he continued.

“The prophecies of his second advent into the earthly sphere are being fulfilled before our eyes every day,” he said, “so, just maybe, we should be looking forward to that great event while we celebrate his Nativity this Christmas.”
He added, “Even so, come Lord Jesus!”‘

From keywords to building backlinks and analyzing your competitors, there are many things you can work on to increase your website ranking. However, there might be one area you’re overlooking. Any idea what I’m talking about yet?
It’s the influence your web hosting has on SEO.
Whether you realize it or not, the web host you choose can make all the difference between getting your website ranking higher or being pretty much invisible online.
When you think about it, it’s obvious why.
The web host you go with impacts several areas of your website, including uptime and loading speeds.
If you are researching how to host a website, here are 7 things to look out for to help meet your SEO needs.
Your chosen web host plays a significant role in putting your website on the map and keeping it visible, and therefore, you need to pick your web host carefully.
Before I go too much further, let’s just see what Google says about how search works. It considers five factors:
As we’re talking about SEO and web hosting, I’ll focus on usability. For ranking, Google looks at:
Basically, the more accessible your content is, the more likely it is to rank better.
Google also considers page experience signals, like whether your site uses HTTPS.
Your webhost influences all of the above, which is why you need to choose carefully.
When it comes to web hosting and SEO, you should expect a few things from your provider as standard, such as uptime reliability and efficient loading times. However, as detailed in the next section, there are other features to look out for:
For businesses, a few minutes of downtime can cost thousands of dollars in lost productivity. For your visitors, it’s frustrating if they can’t access your website or if it keeps crashing. However, downtime is equally damaging to your reputation among search engines.
The likes of Google regularly visit websites, and if your website is down a lot, your site gains a reputation for unreliability.
While no web host can guarantee to keep your site online 100 percent of the time, most hosts now provide 99.9 percent uptime. According to Search Engine Journal, 99 percent uptime equals approximately 1.44 minutes of downtime daily, or 8.8 hours a year. Pretty good, huh?
Ever heard the saying ‘speed is of the essence’? Your visitors agree with this, which is why you don’t want to keep them hanging around.
A slow website causes users to leave, increasing your bounce rate significantly, as the stat from Google’s research shows.
However, despite the importance of fast loading times, too many websites fail to make the grade.
According to research by Littledata, the average time it takes for a mobile page fully loads is 4.6 seconds. On the face of it, that sound pretty swift, but it won’t put you among the best-performing sites.
What should you be aiming for?
Littledata says if you want your site among the top twenty percent, then your loading time should be within 3.2 seconds. To appear in the top ten percent, your site should reach a full mobile page load within 2.6 seconds.
Not sure about your current speed? Here are some tools to check:
That’s your speed covered, now let’s move on to the importance of customer service.
When choosing web hosting for SEO, there are some key areas of customer service to think about:
Would you buy from a site you don’t trust? I doubt it. It’s also unlikely that you’d share your sensitive information if the site didn’t have an HTTPS certificate, but It’s not just about consumer trust.
Back in 2014, Google first named HTTPS as a ranking factor. As Google’s Search Advocate, John Mu, explains on Twitter, it’s only a lightweight ranking factor, and the lack of an HTTPS won’t stop your site from getting indexed.
However, as Mu explains, HTTPS is great for users, and Google’s research shows a considerable rise in web users relying on HTTPS. Here are some of the key stats:
While you can install an SSL certificate yourself, the easiest way is to find a web host that provides a free or affordable certificate.
Some of the sites offering free SSL certificates include
That’s HTTPS covered. What about server location and its impact on your SEO and web hosting?
Does server location affect loading times? Absolutely.
In a YouTube clip, former Google Search Quality expert Matt Cutts said: ‘We try to return the most relevant results to each user in each country. And server location in terms of IP address is a factor in that’.
For example, if your server is in the United States, but most of your customers are in the United Kingdom, data transfer times are likely to be considerably delayed. However, changing the server location to the UK is likely to reduce response times and improve website loading speed.
The reason for this? Well, it comes down to two things: network latency or ‘ping’ (the time it takes for information to travel from one point in a network to another) and time to the first byte (the interval between the request being sent to the server and the browser receiving the first byte).
The server location also affects your bounce rate and legal compliance (you need to store any data per local laws)
To help find the best server locations for your site, follow these three tips:
3. Check your Time For First Byte with a tool such as GeekFlare:
For both tests, the lower the number, the better.
If you notice delays, it may be worth looking around for the best cheap web hosting and transferring your website to another provider.
Shared hosting is a popular option for small businesses, as it offers an affordable way to start a website, but it has some downsides.
The biggest issue for users can be website performance. As shared hosts typically have many users sharing the same server, performance can suffer compared to dedicated servers. This can result in slower page load times and decreased Site Speed Index scores (a page loading score metric).
Further, if you need to make any major changes or updates to your website, like adding new features or redesigning your entire site, then the customization options may be limited.
You may also find that your performance dips the more your traffic grows.
That said, shared hosting has plenty of positives, such as its ease of use and scalability,
A content management system (CMS) is a software application or set of related programs used to create and manage digital content efficiently.
It aids your web hosting SEO by enabling content optimization and its integrated SEO plug-ins.
According to Zippia, there are over 80 CMS options to choose from, and 64.9 percent opt for WordPress.
The sheer number of available systems can make it difficult to choose, so look for the following three features to narrow down your options:
1. Ease of use: A CMS should be easy to use, even for beginners, and have a user-friendly interface and simple, straightforward controls.
2. Flexibility: Find a flexible CMS to accommodate your website’s specific needs. It should allow you to add or remove content easily, change layouts, and more.
3. Compatibility: Ensure the CMS is compatible with popular web browsers and devices. It should also work well with other software and plugins you may want to use
It depends on which host you’re using. If SEO isn’t already built-in, you can often add plug-ins to your CMS for optimization
It depends on the host. Some are better than others but remember, you get what you pay for, and web hosting costs shouldn’t be your only consideration. Free hosting sites may lack quality, advanced features, and built-in SEO.
Yes. The closer the server location is to your visitors, the quicker the speed.
Wix has some great SEO features, including a Google Search and Google Analytics integration, as well as a single template for SEO on multiple pages.
Additionally, Wix has an SEO Wiz. This is a step-by-step checklist that you’ll find on your site’s dashboard under ‘marketing home’. The checklist helps you to connect and verify your site with Google, enables efficient site indexing, and gives you SEO tips for improved visibility.
Hostinger, Bluehost, and SiteGround all score well among reviewers for SEO web hosting, but it all depends on what features you’re looking for.
You will most likely have a long-term relationship with the hosting service you choose, so you want to pick the right one.
With so many web hosts to choose from, finding the perfect host is often time consuming, and you might not always get it right the first time.
To simplify things, when looking for a provider for your SEO web hosting, ensure it offers uptime reliability, speed, and security.
Also, don’t overlook server location and the impact it can have on your SEO, and test customer service first by making a few queries.
