Charges against a Colorado man accused of killing his girlfriend's baby have been dropped after a prosecutor made disparaging remarks about him during an interview. William Jacobs, 22, was accused of shaking 10-month-old Edward Hayes to death at the Motel 6 in Canon City the three of them were living at on May 21, 2023. Police said he was looking after Hayes while the baby's 21-year-old mother, Brook Crawford, was at work and had previously admitted to abusing him. One year after Hayes death, the charges against Jacobs have been dismissed by a Fremont County judge because of comments 11th...

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Israel is working on finding a replacement for Hamas’s rule in the Gaza Strip, vowing that the war will not end until the terror group is dismantled of both its military and governmental capabilities. “In any process of ending the war, we will not accept the rule of Hamas. We are advancing an alternative government to Hamas, within the framework of which we will isolate areas, remove the Hamas members and bring in other forces that will enable a different government,” Gallant says following an assessment at the Southern Command in Beersheba. "On one hand,...

Pope Francis claimed Our Lady ‘unites’ Christians and Muslims. Here’s why that’s wrongPope Francis paid a visit to detainees at Verona’s Montorio Prison and stated to applause that 'the figure of Mary is a figure common to both Christianity and Islam. She is a common figure; she unites us all.'Catholics may be surprised to learn that the Vatican is exaggerating the similarities between the Blessed Virgin Mary and the figure of Mary, Mother of Jesus, as she appears in the Koran and Muslim hadiths (traditions about Muhammad, the founder of Islam).On May 18 this year, Pope Francis paid a visit...

Activists are set to form a human chain during a vigil in the western German city of Mannheim on Sunday following a knife attack which left seven people injured. A non-partisan alliance has come forward to organize the human chain, under the motto: "Solidarity against violence, hatred and agitation." "We want to hold a quiet gathering without slogans and flags," Green Party city councillor Gerhard Fontagnier told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper on Saturday. The vigil is supported by a range of political parties represented on the city council, organizers said. It emerged in response to a planned rally by the...

[Catholic Caucus] "Ecclesiastical Oddities": Héctor Agüer, Archbishop Emeritus of La Plata, tries to understand what is going on in the Argentine episcopate under Francis[La Plata, Argentina: Immaculate Conception Cathedral in central Moreno Square]The corresponding adjective is "odd" ("rare"), which has several meanings in the dictionary; I choose one: odd is that which has little density and consistency. Although it also refers to extraordinary and extravagant things. I mean: it is an oddity that the Pope is Argentinian, what is also odd is the fact that in over a decade he has not had the concern to visit his homeland. John...

Reclaiming ‘Pride Month’: June 2 is ‘Ex-Gay Visibility Day’Unpopular truth: There are more people today living as ‘ex-gays’ than there are those leading homosexual lives.“Pride Month” has just begun, a month when woke identity politics takes center stage for 30 days, relentlessly driving home the unfounded neo-Marxist claim that homosexual and transgender-identifying individuals are members of oppressed victim classes who, in the name of justice, must be elevated to prominence. Meanwhile, the rest of society — including children in school systems, corporate employees, government employees at every level, and even those in the military and the world of sports —...

An Idaho bar has opted to counter LGBTQ Pride Month by celebrating 'Heterosexual Awesomeness Month' during the month of June, saying that without them 'none of us would be here.' Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, which is just outside of Boise, announced this past Wednesday that each Monday would be 'Hetero Male Monday.' Any man dressed 'like a heterosexual male' will be entitled to a free draught beer, according to a Facebook post from the bar.

Earlier in 2023, top American lawmaker Rich McCormick, while addressing the US House of Representatives, said that Indian-Americans constitute about one per cent of the US population but pay about six per cent of the taxes. Does it ring a bell? Interestingly, Indians are the highest-earning ethnic group in the US — ahead of people from countries like China and Japan. How many Indians are there in the US and how much are they earning? The number of people identifying as Asian in the United States nearly tripled in the past three decades, and Asians are now the fastest-growing of...

In new research, investigators show that the 100-year-old Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, originally developed to prevent tuberculosis, protects individuals with type 1 diabetes from severe COVID-19 disease and other infectious diseases. Two back-to-back randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trials found that the BCG vaccine provided continuous protection for nearly the entire COVID-19 pandemic in the US, regardless of the viral variant. The MGH Phase II and Phase III clinical trials testing BCG differed from other BCG trials in important ways. Instead of receiving one dose of BCG, participants received five or six doses of a particularly potent strain of BCG vaccine. The...

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former US president and presidential candidate Donald Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he was ready for a possible prison sentence. "I am ok with it," Trump told the broadcaster, adding that he was "not sure the public would stand for it." Trump also said that the possible conviction would be "a breaking point" that "would be tough for the public to take," as quoted by Fox News. On Thursday, a jury found Trump guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, with whom the former...

Former President Trump's team is more focused so far on building a sprawling network of "election integrity" lawyers and poll watchers than on rounding up organizers and door knockers to reach voters. Why it matters: It's a sign that five months before Election Day, the legal battle over the 2024 race is underway — and that Trump plans to cry "rigged" if he loses, just as it did after the 2020 election and his felony convictions. The Trump-controlled Republican National Committee is assembling a network of lawyers and volunteers to gather string for lawsuits challenging the results of the Nov....

Researchers begin noting that the efficacy of coadjuvant molecules, in the landscape of cancer treatments, remains a focus of attention for clinical research with the aim of reducing toxicity and achieving better outcomes. The researchers state, "Most of the pathogenetic processes causing tumor development, neoplastic progression, aging, and increased toxicity involve inflammation." Inflammatory mechanisms can progress through a variety of molecular patterns. As is well known, the aging process is determined by pathological pathways very similar and often parallel to those that cause cancer development. Among these complex mechanisms, inflammation is currently much studied and is often referred to in...
