The Associated Press (AP) on Monday fact-checked a video of former President Barack Obama walking President Joe Biden off stage by citing one anonymous source who attended the event. The
fact check comes after Biden’s aides became more quarrelsome with the media about coverage of Biden’s age, gaffes, and videos exposing moments of strange confusion. A video on Sunday showed Obama walking Biden off the stage after the president appeared to freeze. Another video appeared to show Biden wandering off into the distance in Europe before Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni turned him back to the group of world leaders...

The reposts and expressions of shock from public figures followed quickly after a user on the social platform X who uses a pseudonym claimed that a government website had revealed “skyrocketing” rates of voters registering without a photo ID in three states this year — two of them crucial to the presidential

and “couples of the same sex” The emphasis is on the 'couple' in both cases. In order to approve it at the level of principle, thus justifying its moral acts, an attempt is made to separate the liturgical aspect of the blessing from its previous, 'theological' but not...

A couple years ago I noticed a trend in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. The meeting was no longer ending with the Lord’s Prayer.For more than 30 years every meeting I attended ended the same way — with the “Our Father,” then the Serenity Prayer, then the chant of “Keep Coming Back, It
Works if You Work It!”Suddenly, meetings were going straight to the Serenity Prayer and then the final pep chant. The “Our Father” was gone. This seems to be part of a larger trend. As reported in the Daily Mail, one group was censured for saying the prayer:An Alcoholics...

Townhall Media A Manhattan jury in a trial of dubious fairness, staged in a district that overwhelmingly votes Democrat, recently awarded a Trump rape accuser with damages for defamation and sexual assault regarding an incident that allegedly took place back in 1996 in a department store dressing room. Without
going into the details, the story — which Trump has adamantly denied ever happened — is highly suspect at best.The defamation award, curiously, was due to Trump’s denial of the rape accusation, although the jury did not find Trump liable for the rape itself. This would seem to be a contradiction...

The jury that will weigh allegations that former President Donald Trump sexually assaulted writer E. Jean Carroll at trial next month in Manhattan will remain anonymous through the duration of the case, a federal judge ruled Thursday. Judge Lewis Kaplan found that if the identities of the jurors were publicly known, they’d
likely face intense media scrutiny as well as harassment and threats by supporters of Trump, 76. “Indeed, Mr. Trump himself has made critical statements on social media regarding the grand jury foreperson in Atlanta, Georgia, and the jury foreperson in the Roger Stone criminal case,” he wrote.
