"The View" co-host Joy Behar called out Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., during the show on Thursday for voting to support Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to head the Department of Homeland Security. "I think he’s terrible," Behar said of Mullin. "And as I said before, Fetterman was the deciding vote to say yes to this guy. With Democrats like that, who needs Republicans?" Fetterman voted to advance Mullin's confirmation as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted against the Republican DHS pick on Wednesday. Co-host Sunny Hostin also slammed Mullin and said Republicans could have come up with someone better. She also blasted...

A woman is taking civil action after alleging that her mother, who has dementia, was sexually assaulted by a senior home volunteer, an assault she says was captured on surveillance video.

The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral. As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along. According to the data they shared, the average score came in around 73, with a median just under 70. More than half of participants actually scored below 70. These are numbers that are way below the average.

Seventeen years ago, then-President Barack Hussein Obama’s Department of Justice launched a witch hunt against four Connecticut police officers who’d been rooting out illegal alien fraud. The four East Haven Police Department officers — Jason Zullo, John Miller, David Cari, and Dennis Spaulding — “were branded as criminals, their lives and families torn apart,” according to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF). But they weren’t criminals — they were “committed, decorated professionals engaged in the unglamorous work of enforcing the law in a community plagued by fraudulent vehicle registrations, gang activity, and illegal enterprises.” Years later, Spaulding is now...

Russia proposed a deal to the US under which Moscow would halt intelligence sharing with Iran if Washington stopped providing intelligence to Ukraine about Russian military activity, according to a report on Friday by Politico. Two individuals familiar with the discussions told Politico that the proposal was presented by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev during a meeting last week in Miami with Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. According to the report, the arrangement would have required the Kremlin to stop providing Tehran with intelligence such as the precise coordinates of US military assets in the Middle East. In...

@Bannons_WarRoom STEVE BANNON: Ken Paxton, now two polls in Texas. Ken Paxton's up 16 against Cornyn and one 18 against Cornyn the other. As I predicted that there's just no way the more Cornyn puts out this money for these negative ads trying to destroy Ken Paxton. The more the grassroots base, the MAGA base turns against him.

NEW YORK (AP) — In a strongly worded decision this week, a federal judge ordered that the Voice of America — its mission to provide news for countries around the world largely shut down for the past year by the Trump administration — come roaring back to life. Whether or not that actually happens is anybody’s guess. The government filed notice Thursday to appeal U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth’s order two days earlier to put hundreds of VOA employees who have been on paid leave the past year back to work. Lamberth had ruled on March 7 that...

In January 2021, Dr. Barry Zulauf, a member of the Senior National Intelligence Service, reported that "US intel analysts working on Chinese influence operations during the 2020 election downplayed China's meddling, one analyst admitted to withholding information on China's efforts to meddle in the 2020 presidential election from President Trump 'because I don't want my intelligence going to the White House where it will be used by that vulgarian in the Oval Office to support policies against China with which I personally disagree.'" Zulauf's report was buried in the federal files. He made several speeches disclosing this Intel dereliction of...

Trump celebrated the news of Mueller's passing, writing on Truth Social: 'Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!' Trump has disliked Mueller since the latter was charge of the investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 election, which the president won. Trump labeled the investigation a 'witch hunt' and frequently attacked Mueller. The former FBI director spent two years investigating, concluding that Russia had interfered with the election to benefit Trump.

By Dr. John BergsmaIn the season of Lent, the Gospel of John becomes very prominent, especially in Year A, the readings of which can be used in any year that a parish is doing RCIA. Unlike the other Gospels, John recounts only a limited number of miracles of Jesus, which he designates as “signs,” a rare term in the other Gospels. Although John tells us of only a few miracles, he describes them in much greater depth than the other gospel writers do. This is quite evident in this weekend’s Gospel reading, in which we get a very lengthy description...

Throughout Operation Roaring Lion, the Israeli Air Force had continuously targeted the firepower arrays of the Iranian terror regime, and particularly the ballistic missile array across Iran. The Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, conducted five strikes within seconds on several infrastructure sites located within a large-scale ballistic missiles array site in western Iran. During the strikes, the IDF eliminated numerous operatives of the ballistic missiles array as they operated within the site to advance and carry out terror attacks against the State of Israel and additional countries in the Middle East. The IDF will continue to deepen...

The two sources said IRGC officers tasked with helping Hezbollah recover arrived shortly after a ceasefire in November 2024, and set to work even as Israel continued to strike. One of them said the deployment involved about 100 officers. Changes implemented at their behest included replacing a hierarchical command structure with a decentralised one, comprising small units with limited knowledge of each other’s operations, helping to preserve operational secrecy. They said IRGC officers also drew up plans for missile attacks against Israel that would be launched simultaneously from Iran and Lebanon — a scenario executed for the first time on...
