Milo Yiannopoulos, a controversy-baiting internet personality who once vehemently backed President Donald Trump, has been deported to the United Kingdom, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said on Saturday. Yiannopoulos was arrested by ICE at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Friday after officials said he failed to show up for an immigration hearing in July. DHS said that a final removal order was issued by an immigration judge on July 22. ICE agents are increasingly making immigration-related arrests at airports. Yiannopoulos, a self-described libertarian who was an early supporter of Trump’s political career, has worked with other...

Posted to stimulate a discussion of the comment "Demographics defines culture, AND labor practices define demographics". This comment was made by a South African farmer who is trying to maintain his farm and stay alive. This is a vanity somewhat, but this was the first time I heard the above quote, and I think it is highly relevant to what too many of our industry / corporate leaders have done by bringing in H1B workers and off shoring jobs. I think that labor practices truly do have a defining effect on demographics, and demographics can have a profound if not...

[Catholic Caucus] Bishop Strickland: Why do Church leaders keep supporting LGBT agenda?Why do so many in the Church, even in the highest offices, refuse to name the sin of sodomy, instead dressing it up in words like 'hospitality'?Certainly Scripture condemns pride, injustice, and the neglect of the poor. The prophets make that abundantly clear. But Sacred Scripture also plainly presents Sodom as a city that had rejected God’s design for human sexuality and had embraced grave sexual immorality.For 2,000 years the Church has understood that lesson. The word “sodomy” comes from the city of Sodom and the story in the...

Two new investigations into OpenAI's Hugging Face breach expose details so strange — and so unsettling — that the episode already ranks among the most consequential shocks in the history of AI.

A truck packed with 40,000 pounds of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer vanished in California and police claim the missing haul could be part of a brazen cargo-theft operation that made off with roughly $70,000 in booze in a single morning. Pabst Blue Ribbon said its truck and beer shipment were stolen, telling the person behind the disappearance that it understood the temptation to brag about having that much PBR, but wished they had gotten it "the honorable way."

The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said that confidential voter registration information was inadvertently made public during an update to a tool on the Secretary’s website. More than 130,000 confidential voter registrations became accessible to the public. Secretary of State Jena Griswold said the issue occurred when the office updated its “Find My Voter Registration Tool” link on its website on August 14. That update made confidential voter profiles inadvertently available to the public. The mistake was discovered on Tuesday. In a press release, the Secretary of State’s Office said confidential voter details displayed included full name, birth year, party...

Governments around the world are increasingly offering cash payments, tax breaks, housing subsidies and childcare support in an effort to persuade citizens to have more children as birth rates fall and populations age. Declining birth rates can strain a country's economy because there aren't enough people being born to support the aging population. That means greater strains on social programs like Social Security and Medicare in the United States since more and more people are using the programs, but not enough people are paying into them. Declining birth rates are a global problem, and a growing number of countries are...

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is quietly trying to erase women and mothers from his state’s health code. The Democrat’s administration has removed female terminology and replaced it with transgender-inclusive language in a proposed overhaul to Pennsylvania’s health code. The terms “pregnant woman” and “mother of a newborn” have been replaced with “pregnant or postpartum individual” throughout the 502-page proposal, which was announced on August 8. Women who have given birth to a stillborn baby are no longer called a “mother” but are instead referred to as a “postpartum individual” in the proposed regulation changes. Shapiro is pushing to give Pennsylvania’s...

In an election cycle where young socialists have been knocking off members of the Old Guard, 80-year-old Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey is out to prove he’s radical enough to survive. The oldest Dem seeking reelection this year partnered with AOC on her “Green New Deal” in 2019 and touts “Medicare for All,” which has become a rallying cry for the socialist wing of the party. He is up by double digits in the polls against Marine Corps vet Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), 47, who faces off with Markey Tuesday in the deep blue state — and began his campaign against...

After three years of focused federal prosecution of armed drug dealers in downtown Portland, Oregon’s U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford announced Tuesday that law enforcement officers will now expand their efforts to target dealers operating in public housing and outside drug treatment clinics. “We saw fentanyl dealers being arrested in the morning, being released in the afternoon and back out on the streets in the evening, dealing this death and poison to our community members,” he said. Bradford described the multi-agency partnership as an “innovative solution” to the state’s fentanyl crisis. “If you talk about a lot of street-level dealers...

The Department of Homeland Security devised an unusual legal tool last year that made it possible for National Guard members to participate in immigration enforcement operations, according to an internal memo obtained by POLITICO. Officials issued the confidential memo to state attorneys general in April 2025 authorizing Guard troops to “perform immigration functions” outside of their home state, including arresting unauthorized immigrants, although it is not clear whether troops did so. The document offered a way for officials to circumvent a law that prevents the military from performing law enforcement duties, known as the Posse Comitatus Act. National Guard troops...

SAN DIEGO (KUSI/FOX 5) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been on a major arrest offensive in San Diego and Imperial Counties. In July, DHS arrested 1,964 immigrants in our southernmost counties, posting their highest arrest rates so far; that’s according to the Data Deportation Project from UCLA and Cal Berkeley. “Even in Trump’s first administration, we did not see numbers like that,” said Morgan Principi, an Immigration Attorney. Principi says ICE is operating in a far more aggressive posture. “Typically, these individuals are able to legally work here, and in order to have a valid work authorization status...

President Donald Trump announced an historic energy deal with Venezuela in a Truth Social post Friday night. The president called the deal “THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY.” Trump wrote that the United States secured “majority U.S. control” of over 65 million barrels’ worth of Venezuelan oil reserves. Trump credited Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez and “a partnership with private business.” The president stated that the deal more than doubles American reserves and will “substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans.” He added that the deal would strengthen the...

A US Coast Guard officer was killed during a suspected random shooting in Washington state as police launched a search for the suspected killer. Coast Guard Lieutenant Connor Overstreet was fatally shot just before 12:40 a.m. Sunday in a residential neighborhood of Bryn Mawr-Skyway, Wash., 10 miles south of Downtown Seattle. First responders found the 29-year-old in the roadway and attempted life-saving procedures, but the active-duty service member later died, Fox 13 Seattle reported. Overstreet’s death was ruled a homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest, the King County Medical Examiner announced Tuesday. No arrests have been made and...

More than 113,000 Russians crossed into Georgia via the Upper Lars checkpoint last week amid growing fears the Kremlin is preparing to announce a new mobilization wave, Politico reported on Aug. 28. The spike in border crossings comes as the Kremlin undertakes increasingly aggressive recruitment measures, expands data collection on military reservists, and broadens the mandate for the National Guard, all of which have fueled speculation of an imminent call-up. Earlier, Ukraine's Presidential Office issued a warning on Aug. 27, saying that Russia plans to mobilize 600,000 recruits over 2026 and 2027, with 300,000 to be called up this year...

Royce White brought his crusade to Indiana. The former NBA first-round pick wore a long blonde wig and sat courtside for the Fever’s 111-91 win over the Sun on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. On his Instagram, White wrote, “The Kweeeen has arrived! They better bow for a beautiful Black Trans Lesbian!” with a smirk on his face. White, who, along with Enes Kanter Freedom, has been trying to push the WNBA amid the ongoing debate surrounding transgender participation in women’s sports. His appearance comes not long after Kanter Freedom, the former NBA big man, was courtside during a Fever game...

Human religion is the godless spiritual philosophy or ideology that attempts to replace Almighty God and ETERNAL REALITY; based on the fallen subjective perception of an unregenerate man (John 3:3-7, Rom. 8:5-8, 1 Cor. 2:14). A man or peoples "religion" will NOT acknowledge the ETERNAL RIGHTNESS of the Person of Almighty God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Their saving propitiation found in the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32, 10:2-4). Religion is the godless spiritual philosophy or ideology that attempts to replace Almighty God and ETERNAL REALITY based on the fallen perception of an unregenerate...

Do not be distracted by Satan and fallen man's many straw men, which only offer vain and hopeless solutions that are rooted in falsehoods and delusional, optimistic appraisals. The moral collapse of the American family and moral social structure by moral relativism is FAR GREATER a HORRIFIC DEBT and CONSUMING DRAGON for America than any fiscal crisis or nationally manufactured crisis could ever be. No wonder why sound morality is absolutely abhorred by this nation (Republicans and Democrats) and has been replaced with a moral relativism that all (conservatives and liberals) can adhere to in the blindness and deception of...

Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel skipped her party’s convention Saturday after saying she feared being booed, harassed and chased over her support for Israel — amid warnings of tense clashes over the Middle East. “I don’t feel safe going,” Nessel, who is Jewish, warned late last month. “I feel like my presence is not going to be welcomed. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying. And I believe that if...
