    Rene Campos, a registered sex offender, has launched a campaign to represent Fresno, California’s District 7, ABC30 reported Wednesday. Campos, who was charged with possession of child sexual abuse material in 2018, says his campaign will focus on safety. Campos told ABC30 he has “experienced the laws” his team is “trying to reform.” “They say let’s choose somebody outside the box, somebody who knows the system from inside out,” Campos said in the interview, “because me, I’ve experienced the laws that we are trying to reform right now.” His campaign website mentions reducing violent crime and “clean, safe neighborhoods.” The...

    Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman sent waves across social media on Tuesday when the Democratic Senator wore a suit to President Trump's State of the Union address. "Now we know this is REALLY official business!" They added. "Once again, we can learn who rules over us by simply noticing who Fetterman will put a suit on for," a second person added. "Fetterman wore a suit last night, and if that doesn’t show respect, I don’t know what does," a third person added. "John Fetterman, IN A SUIT, shakes Trump's hand before his speech. WOW," exclaimed a fourth person.

    TEL AVIV — Shortly after landing at Ben Gurion Airport to conduct an interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, commentator Tucker Carlson reportedly uncovered shocking evidence that Israel is controlled by the Jews. "I'm seeing the Star of David everywhere. Why is that?" Carlson reportedly asked his producer. "And I see this scribbly language, but it doesn't look Arabic. I'm familiar with Arabic. Like, really familiar — AHAHAHAHA! This almost looks like Hebrew, but surely not." CCTV footage appeared to show that, as Carlson waited for Huckabee to arrive for their interview, he was browsing brochures set aside for visitors....

    A sergeant with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office was killed while on duty when his vehicle was struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 40 on Monday, the agency said.

Sgt. Michael Schlattman, who had been with the agency since 2012, was conducting a traffic stop late Monday afternoon on eastbound I-40 near Carnuel when the crash occurred, Gonzales said. "While he was outside the vehicle, a semi-truck...
  • Trump calls for ‘deranged’ Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to be ‘institutionalized’ after State of the Union

    Washington Examiner ^ | 2/25/26 | Brady Knox
    President Donald Trump unleashed on Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), after they heckled him in his State of the Union address, saying they should be institutionalized or deported. Omar and Tlaib were two of the most outspoken members of the audience during the State of the Union, throwing curses and insults at the president throughout. Trump responded directly in a colorful post on Truth Social, deriding their performance and calling for harsh action against them. “When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of...

    Arutz Sheva ^ | February 25, 2026 | Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu
    HaRav Shmuel Eliahu is Chief Rabbi of Tzfat. At first glance, the commandment to wipe out Amalek appears opposed to the spirit of the entire Torah. There is a positive commandment from the Torah to destroy the seed of Amalek. There is also another commandment not to forget the evil of Amalek, and another commandment to hate him and not allow this hatred to be forgotten (Sefer HaMitzvot 188-189). This is a commandment that is difficult for the descendants of our forefather Abraham, whose role is to bring blessing to the world . Abraham himself was commanded to be the...

  • Parents debate toddler safety leashes after one father said, "She isn't an animal," then changed his mind when safety became a concern

    Decluttering Mom ^ | Feb 25, 2026 | Madison Clark
    You might assume safety leashes feel extreme - especially after a father declared, "She isn't an animal." But when a sudden scare shows how quickly toddlers can bolt, you'll see why some parents swap principles for practical precautions. If keeping a child close reduces the chance of injury, many caregivers choose a leash as a temporary safety tool rather than a sign of failed parenting. This piece explores how opinions shift when safety becomes immediate, how social judgment weighs on choices, and how families balance independence with protection. Expect candid accounts, practical context, and points that help you weigh the...
  • ‘This is misery for us:’ New home construction stalls after immigration crackdown in Minnesota

    cnn ^ | February 25, 2026 | Samantha Delouya,
    Roofers are turning down jobs. Painters are locking themselves inside the homes they’re finishing. Concrete crews have monthslong waiting lists. In the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs, the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has slowed home construction to a crawl – at a time when Minnesota, like much of the country, faces a steep housing shortage. The White House has begun scaling back its monthslong enforcement surge in the state. But across the housing market, the aftershocks are still unfolding. “I think most of us would probably take Covid over this,” said one large homebuilder in the Minneapolis area who asked...

    Stars & Stripes ^ | 2/20/26 | Seth Robson
    The American Forces Network is ending its eight-channel satellite television service for U.S. military personnel living off base across Europe and Asia. The long-running service known as “direct-to-home” is screening its final programming before going dark March 22, said Kimberly Antos, director of AFN’s Broadcast Center. The network is replacing the satellite broadcast with its AFN Now application, which has drawn 57,000 registered users since it launched in 2022, she told Stars and Stripes in a Jan. 30 email. “This transition is absolutely a cost-saving measure,” Antos said, adding she doesn’t have information about how much money the broadcaster will...

    American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts. It didn’t matter that the number of kids showing up at gender clinics had soared and that they were more likely to have complex mental health conditions than those who had come to clinics in years earlier, complicating diagnosis. ... The reason these advocates were able to make such strong statements is that for years, the most important professional medical and mental health organizations in the...

    Many Americans were skeptical of Elon Musk’s grandiose claims that DOGE would take a “chainsaw” to federal spending. One “tax nerd” was so skeptical he decided to “bet his life savings” on Musk’s promises being a flop — and it paid off big time, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Musk has seen his approval rating descend as he has taken a more publicly active role politically, plus ongoing criticism and litigation over his management of his social media platform X and support for far-right politics in Europe. He jumped into his work with the Department of...

    Cuba’s coastguard shot dead four people and injured six others travelling in a U.S.-registered speedboat in an exchange of fire off the Cuban coast on Wednesday, the interior ministry in Havana said. The “illegal” Florida-registered boat was detected one nautical mile from Falcones Cay in Villa Clara province, the ministry said in a brief statement. As a coastguard vessel approached to identify the boat “shots were fired from the boat,” injuring the commander of the Cuban vessel, the ministry added. “As a result of the clash, at the time of this report, on the foreign side, four aggressors were killed...

    Next month the most important political book of the year, or perhaps the decade, will be published. It is called The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control. The author is Jacob Siegel, a journalist for the Tablet. To summarize: shocked by the arrival of Donald Trump in 2016, American government officials, the media, and the technology giants created a system of censoring the public, spying on other opponents, and planting false stories. The media was complicit and will never fully recover. Trump’s rise, Siegel writes, “meant that politics had become war, as it is in many...

    Interesting engineering ^ | Feb 21,2026 | By Bojan Stojkovski
    Chinese researchers have developed a lithium-organic battery prototype that withstands rigorous mechanical and thermal stress while delivering high energy density. Organic cathode materials are emerging as a credible alternative to the cobalt- and nickel-based compounds that dominate today’s lithium-ion batteries. Built from abundant molecular precursors, these polymer systems offer intrinsic structural flexibility alongside tunable electrochemical properties..... The researchers found that the cells retained mechanical integrity under bending, stretching, and compression. They also passed stringent safety evaluations, including needle puncture tests, without structural failure or uncontrolled energy release. The material’s elasticity further positions it for potential use in flexible electronics and...
