    KYIV — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called on Ukrainian lawmakers Monday to quickly pass a mobilization bill that would make more citizens eligible to be drafted into the military, and he sharply questioned exempting men under 27 from the fight. Graham called for the swift legislative action — even as U.S. lawmakers remain unable to reach their own consensus on aid for Ukraine — while visiting Kyiv, his first trip to the Ukrainian capital since he abruptly turned against a $60 billion aid package for the country last month.

Picture this: a federal district court judge, backed by a unanimous appellate panel, made a ruling that sent shockwaves through the digital world. They found that the Biden administration, along with the FBI, had coerced Big Tech into censoring dissenting voices online – a serious blow to our First Amendment rights.

    "Port-au-Prince is in panic mode," a friend in the Haitian capital texted me. Residents of Petionville, a wealthier area of of the city, are shaken after their most violent day so far in the country's spiralling security crisis. More than a dozen bullet-ridden bodies lay in the street - the victims of the latest gang rampage. As well as the early morning killing spree, the home of a judge was also attacked - a clear message to the country's elites vying for power. All this in what is supposedly the safe part of town. Unicef's executive director, Catherine Russell, has...

  • No sign of $40K loan from Joe Biden to brother James, first family’s moneyman says — undercutting White House story

    Hunter Biden business associate Eric Schwerin never noted a purported $40,000 loan from President Biden to his younger brother James — despite having access to the now-president’s checking and corporate accounts as his bookkeeper and tax preparer, a congressional interview transcript released Monday shows. Schwerin, 54, said during the Jan. 30 deposition with House impeachment investigators that “I don’t recall” Joe Biden having loaned out any money between 2009 and 2016, during which Schwerin helped the then-vice president prepare tax and financial disclosure forms. “Certainly through the 2016 tax period, I don’t recall any loans that he made,” said Schwerin,...

    A woman has sued director Roman Polanski, alleging he raped her in his home when she was a minor in 1973. The woman aired the allegations, which the 90-year-old Polanski has denied, in a news conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, on Tuesday. The account is similar to the still-unresolved Los Angeles criminal sexual assault case that prompted Polanski in 1978 to flee to Europe, where he has remained since. The woman who filed the civil lawsuit said she went to dinner with Polanski, who knew she was under 18, in 1973, months after she had met him at a...

    (The Center Square) — Connecticut's top election official is calling for reforms in the wake of a ballot stuffing scandal in Bridgeport's mayoral race, where some people were allegedly paid cash to fill out mail ballots. Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas said her office had referred allegations about election "malfeasance" in the February redo of the mayoral race to the State Elections Enforcement Commission to investigate, including reports from voters who received absentee ballots despite not requesting them. “When alerted, the Secretary of the State’s Office is required to send allegations of election malfeasance to SEEC for their review and...

    Rates of homicides committed by illegal migrants in the United States have increased overall during the Biden administration, though rates at this point in the fiscal year are about average compared with past years dating to 2021. The hot-button issue of illegal immigration is encompassing the nation and has galvanized Republicans who have consistently kept the topic front and center leading up to November elections. President Joe Biden has allowed an influx of illegal migrants on his watch, most recently drawing condemnation for the February killing of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley allegedly committed by illegal migrant Jose Ibarra.

    An illegal immigrant was wrongly banned from possessing guns, according to a recent ruling.A federal law, Section 922 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, bars illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition. Prosecutors charged Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, the illegal alien, in 2020 after he was found in Chicago carrying a semi-automatic pistol despite “knowing he was an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States.”U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman rejected two motions to dismiss, but the third motion, based on a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, triggered the dismissal of the case on March 8.“The noncitizen possession statute, 18...

    Police tracking drugs in our area are sounding the alarm with cocaine and meth making a comeback. Metro Detroit law enforcement is warning of an uptick in meth and cocaine use across the area. "The danger of this is significant to everybody," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. "Basically the cost of cocaine, the cost of meth, all of that has gone down to about a third of what it was two years ago."

    Back when the Biden administration passed the hilariously named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a significant debate broke out over a provision that would funnel massive amounts of money to the Internal Revenue Service. The funds would supposedly go to hire an army of new agents who would diligently work to ensure that everyone was "paying their fair share" of taxes and that government revenue was predicted to increase. Conservatives pushed back hard against the plan, but most of the IRS funding survived. Yet the anticipated benefits have still yet to show up. The reason for this, according to a new...

    New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing serious allegations of sexual assault dating back to 1993. The accusations come from a lawsuit filed against the mayor by a former NYPD aide and could cause some significant problems for Adams. At the heart of this legal action is a complaint filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a law that reopened the window for pursuing justice for past sexual assault cases that exceeded the statute of limitations.The plaintiff, once an administrative aide for the police department’s transit division, claims Adams assaulted her in a vacant lot after she sought his advice...

    The MAGA-friendly federal judge who keeps siding with Donald Trump in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go. U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s ultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial. But as she has done repeatedly, Cannon used this otherwise innocuous legal step as yet another way to swing the case wildly in favor...
