    The death penalty is only applicable in Idaho if the perpetrator is convicted of first degree murder or conspiracy to commit first degree murder. A jury also has to unanimously agree to impose the death penalty. The judge overseeing the trial of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger on Tuesday ruled that prosecutors can seek the death penalty if he is convicted of killing four college students in August. Kohberger is accused of killing college students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin by fatally stabbing them in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, in November of 2022.

    Ellen DeGeneres is making a quick exit from the United States — seemingly for good. The 66-year-old talk show host, comedian and actress has moved to rural England, according to a new report in The Wrap. DeGeneres is taking up roots in the UK with her wife Portia de Rossi, 51, and they reportedly have no plans to return to the US. To underscore the apparent permanence of the move, the couple plan to put their Montecito mansion on the market. A person close to the former Ellen DeGeneres Show host claimed that she and de Rossi were primarily skipping...

    Trendy weight-loss drugs making headlines for shrinking waistlines may also be shrinking the human heart and other muscles, according to a new University of Alberta study whose authors say should serve as a “cautionary tale” about possible long-term health effects of these drugs. “If people have been prescribed these drugs, then the benefits should likely far exceed the risks,” says Jason Dyck, lead author on the study, pediatrics professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry and a member of the Women and Children’s Health Research Institute. “However, the growing number of people who may be taking these drugs who...

    Members of the over 2 million-strong U.S. civilian federal workforce are looking to an unlikely source to protect it from Donald Trump and Elon Musk's promise to slash government employees and cut costs: the incoming Republican-controlled Congress. Federal employee unions are lining up lawyers and preparing public campaigns to try to stave off any mass firings, but they're hoping Republican Congress members will join Democrats in defending their importance to local economies, health and safety, union members and government watchdogs tell Reuters. Trump has tasked Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to head a panel to streamline the U.S....

    A 71-year-old Israeli civilian was killed Wednesday along with a soldier during a gun battle with Hezbollah operatives, after entering southern Lebanon without the required approvals while accompanied by a senior IDF officer. In a separate incident, an IDF reservist was killed when a damaged building collapsed during an early morning operation in southern Lebanon. According to an initial IDF probe, the chief of staff of the Golani Brigade, Col. Yoav Yarom, allowed Israeli researcher Zeev Erlich, 71, to enter the western sector of southern Lebanon to examine an archaeological site — an ancient fortress. Despite the belief that the...

    Last night I had dinner next to Donald Trump at Mar A Lago. After being welcomed to the dining area with thunderous applause Trump got out his iPad and began to DJ - as he is known to do. The first song Trump played gave the entire club chills… Trump played “Justice For All” a patriotic song he recorded with the J6 Prison Choir, a group of 20 men imprisoned after the riot at the United States Capitol. The profits from the song are dedicated to the legal aid for political prisoners incarcerated by the Biden regime. The entire club...

On Wednesday in response, Speaker Mike Johnson announced a move that would prohibit transgender people from using “single-sex facilities” on the House side of the Capitol and in House office buildings, including restrooms, changing rooms and...

    Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) falsely claimed this week that thousands of unaccompanied migrant children have not gone missing in the United States. A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) this past August showed that as many as 32,000 migrant children have gone missing in the United States after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials released them into the custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) since 2019.

    MPs are to summon Elon Musk to testify about X’s role in spreading disinformation, in a parliamentary inquiry into the UK riots and the rise of false and harmful AI content, the Guardian has learned. Senior executives from Meta, which runs Facebook and Instagram, and TikTok are also expected to be called for questioning as part of a Commons science and technology select committee social media inquiry. The first hearings will take place in the new year, amid rising concern that UK online safety laws risk being outpaced by rapidly advancing technology and the politicisation of platforms such as X....

    Many supporters of Donald Trump will die sooner than the elites they hate, author David Brooks writes in his essay for The Atlantic — “How the Ivy League Broke America” — and it’s by design. “The diploma divide is driving American politics,” Brooks writes in a newsletter to promote his piece. “Donald Trump surged back into power with the support of millions of high-school-educated voters who are furious at the college-educated elite.” He adds: “High-school-educated people die eight years younger than college-educated people, on average.

    The 'progressive' district attorney who prosecuted the case for the migrant who brutally murdered nursing student Laken Riley said she wouldn't seek the death penalty because it would cause 'collateral consequences to undocumented defendants.' Jose Ibarra, 26, was convicted Wednesday on all 10 counts for his brutal slaying of the 22-year-old Augusta University student while she was jogging and got life in prison without parole. Many Republicans were shocked that Ibarra, an undocumented migrant from Venezuela, was not given a death sentence. Deborah Gonzalez, a liberal prosecutor funded by George Soros, said in February that her office would 'no longer...

    Outgoing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) — a member of the far-left “Squad” — is demanding that the next Star Wars movie features a black Jedi lead character, saying he will refuse to watch and will even denounce the movie franchise if his demand isn’t met. The threat to the Walt Disney Company comes as the studio recently announced a new Star Wars movie trilogy in the making from X-Men veteran Simon Kinberg. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who is set to leave Congress in January after losing his primary, made his demand known in an X post on Tuesday.
