  • A 63-year-old peak boomer said she 'can't even think about retiring' despite having a master's degree and working two jobs

    Cathy R., 63, has a master's degree and has worked all her life, though she's very worried for her future. The clerical worker in Minnesota has struggled to rise up the ranks throughout her career. She said she's earning a salary similar to some entry-level positions despite nearly three decades in her current role. She's nervous that even though she's eligible for a pension in a few years, it won't supplement Social Security payments nearly enough to live comfortably. "I can't afford life while working. How can I even think of retiring?" the St. Paul, Minnesota resident said. ...Cathy grew...
  • Communist Activists Using Pro-Palestinian Protests to Foment ‘Real Revolution’

    Epoch Times ^ | 5/9/2024 Updated: 5/9/2024 | By Enrico Trigoso
    Communist organizations are promoting physical revolution and escalation of conflict in pamphlets given out en masse during the pro-Palestinian protests in New York City. Multiple groups met on May 7 at Revolution Books in the Harlem neighborhood of the Manhattan borough of New York City and discussed “gathering forces for revolution.” “Nobody is an outsider, when it comes to fighting injustice, everybody has a right and responsibility to do that. And we need to bring to them the way out of this mess, where it’s coming from, and why it can be ended. And how it can be ended to...

  • Just In: Articles of Impeachment Drawn over Biden’s Withholding of Israeli Aid for Political Reasons -- Precedent Set With Trump Impeachment Over 'Perfect' Phone Call With Ukraine

    Articles to impeach President Joe Biden over his decision to withhold aid to Israel for political reasons are in preparation, freshman Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) announced Thursday. Biden’s decision to withhold bombs from Israel is concerning due to its political implications. Biden’s base wants him to defund Israel, while many moderate Democrats support Israel’s ability to defend itself against terrorists. Biden appears stuck between competing coalitions during an election year. He currently trails in the polls to Trump and has a historically low approval rating to win reelection as an incumbent. Democrats accused former President Donald Trump in 2019 of...
  • Top House Armed Services Dem on Biden Israel Threat: ‘White House Needs to Clean It Up’ or It Emboldens Hamas

    On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) said that the White House “needs to clean…up” President Joe Biden’s comments on Israel to CNN “and reiterate our support for Israel,” because “To the extent it looks like we are separating from Israel, that just gives Hamas all the more incentive to keep fighting.” He also called on the White House to push the message that Hamas is holding up a ceasefire.
  • Psaki: Biden Should Have Cut Off Weapons to Israel Earlier

    Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday on CBS’s “The Late Show” that President Joe Biden should have cut off weapons to Israel sooner. Wednesday on CNN, Biden said he would not supply offensive weapons for Israel to attack Rafah. Psaki said, “I do think that there’s some leverage we’re all seeing being used. Should it have been used earlier? I think the answer is yes to that. But we are seeing them pull back in the sending of weapons. That’s actually a pretty significant sign, given that the United States and Israel has a long-standing connection on...

    FIRST ON FOX: A Republican state attorney general is probing the Biden Justice Department for documents related to any communications with prosecutors connected to the indictments of former President Donald Trump. In a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed Thursday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey asked the DOJ to hand over "activity and/or communications between Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith or Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis related to the investigation or prosecution" of the former president. "The investigations and subsequent prosecutions of former President Donald J. Trump appear...

    Miss Israel was called a “war criminal,” a “little Zionist,” and threatened with a knife after identifying herself as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in New York City on Monday, according to reports. Miss Israel Noa Cochva was berated and threatened on the streets of the Big Apple while carrying a poster that read, “I am an IDF soldier. Ask me anything,” the Daily Mail reported.

    New York Post ^ | May 9, 2024
    The White House rarely allows President Biden to sit down for interviews, and Wednesday’s chat with CNN’s Erin Burnett shows why. In a brief 17 minutes, Biden told 15 lies — nearly a lie a minute. From whoppers about the economy to prevarications on Israel, Biden spun a Fantasyland of a presidency that voters know is false. LIE 1: “I’ve created over 15 million jobs since I’ve been president.”

    Free Beacon ^ | 5/9/24 | Adam Kredo
    Just a day after Hamas’s Oct. 7 rampage through Israel, the nation’s largest anti-Israel campus group snapped into action, issuing a call for "unity intifada" at colleges across the country and mobilizing its network of pro-Palestinian agitators for a "national day of resistance" that would "normalize" terrorism against Israel, according to a strategy document reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The materials provide insight into National Students for Justice in Palestine’s (NSJP) campus playbook and suggest the anti-Israel umbrella group anticipated a conflict in the Middle East and was prepared to unleash its army of adherents on college campuses across...

    When the Daily Beast revealed in January that "Squad" member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) used to promote 9/11 conspiracy theories while serving as principal of Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, I had no idea that the Beast was just getting started.This week, the Beast's William Bredderman revealed that, despite Bowman's protests that the 9/11 stuff was all in his past, his current YouTube account — “Inner Peace” — "subscribes to dozens of bewildering and bizarre accounts—including known Russian and Chinese disinfo peddlers, flat earthers, musings about UFOs and 'signs you’re being prepared to cross to the new earth.'"Bowman's personal YouTube...

    The City Council of Long Beach, California has authorized a public health emergency in response to a local outbreak of tuberculosis. The city's health officer, Dr. Anissa Davis, declared the emergency last week, after its health department detected 14 tuberculosis cases at a single-room occupancy hotel. The City Council vote on Tuesday night served as the final approval for the declaration. Nine tuberculosis patients have been hospitalized and one has died, according to the health department. As of Monday, about 175 people had been exposed to tuberculosis as a result of the outbreak. In a news release last week, the...

    Less than a day before the Biden administration announced its intent to cut off U.S. arms sales to Israel, it issued a sanctions waiver to bypass congressional prohibitions on arms sales to a host of Arab nations that boycott the Jewish state, including Hamas ally Qatar and Iran-controlled Lebanon, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. On Tuesday—just a day before President Joe Biden threatened to withhold key weapons deliveries from Israel if the country moves forward with an incursion in the Gaza Strip's Rafah neighborhood—the State Department informed Congress that it intends to bypass laws that bar the United States...

Opposition head Yair Lapid led a chorus of lawmakers from his side of the aisle excoriating...

    In an era where technology increasingly interweaves with the fabric of modern warfare, the United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) has embarked on testing a new frontier of combat capabilities: armed robotic dogs. These quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles (Q-UGVs), developed by Ghost Robotics and equipped with weapon systems by Onyx Industries, represent a remarkable leap in military robotics. MARSOC’s current evaluation of these Q-UGVs, as disclosed by Onyx Industries, includes testing two variants equipped with the company’s SENTRY Remote Weapon System (RWS). This system, which is AI-assisted and features advanced digital imaging for target acquisition, maintains a crucial...
