A Missouri judge has issued an arrest warrant for three-time presidential candidate Jill Stein after she skipped a scheduled Monday court appearance in connection with her alleged assault on a police officer at an April 2024 anti-Israel college protest. Stein — the Green Party nominee in 2012, 2016 and 2024 — had been charged with one count of first-degree trespassing and one count of fourth-degree assault following her apprehension during a chaotic demonstration at Washington University in St. Louis. Protesters, including the now-76-year-old, marched to the school’s Danforth Campus on April 27, 2024, and erected tents in the John M....

"[Love] does not act unbecomingly" (1 Cor. 13:5). Considerate behavior demonstrates godly love and adds credibility to your witness. When I was a young child, I loved to slurp my soup. I didn't see any harm in it even though my parents constantly objected. Then one evening I ate with someone who slurped his soup. He was having a great time but I didn't enjoy my meal very much. Then I realized that proper table manners are one way of showing consideration for others. It says, "I care about you and don't want to do anything that might disrupt your...

VIDEOS AT LINK........... The deranged woman who disgracefully vandalized the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. has just been set free. Despite the DOJ’s request to keep her held as a flight risk, U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew J. Sharbaugh released 41-year-old Melissa Farris. She is now out of custody, pending her next court hearing on September 3rd. Fox News covered the latest update in this clip: Even more infuriatingly, Melissa Farris was cut loose without having to post bond. The judge did, however, impose certain conditions for her release. WJLA reported: The court ordered Farris to submit to supervision...

The U.S. Navy awarded Raytheon a $22.9 billion, multi-year contract to accelerate production of Tomahawk cruise missiles, aiming to build more than 1,000 of the long-range strike weapons a year. The Department of War announced the award Monday as part of its "Arsenal of Freedom" initiative to expand weapons production. "This landmark $22.9 billion investment will accelerate Tomahawk missile delivery to our warfighters at unprecedented speed," said Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao. Raytheon, an RTX business, said the contract supports increasing annual output to more than 1,000 Tomahawks and that it is investing in its workforce, supply chain...

Sigal Chattah (NV) – Republican Attorneys General Association A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that Sigal Chattah is not lawfully serving as Nevada’s Acting U.S. Attorney, holding that the Trump administration cannot bypass federal vacancy limits by naming her first assistant after the vacancy arose or by simply delegating her all the powers of the office. The controversy began when Nevada U.S. Attorney Jason Frierson resigned on January 17, 2025. Under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, then-First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sue Fahami automatically became acting U.S. attorney. Two months later, Bondi used 28 U.S.C....

Most Americans Say They Support the Free Market. Their Policy Preferences Tell a Different Story.Americans may dislike the word “socialism,” but when asked whether government should solve their problems, many still place their faith, incorrectly, in the hands of government. A new CBS News/YouGov poll found that 46 percent of Americans view capitalism positively, compared with 35 percent who view socialism positively. When “capitalism” is replaced with “the free market,” support becomes much stronger: 66 percent say the free market is good for the U.S. economy. But those numbers become more complicated when voters are asked about specific policies. Many...

Japanese scientists are readying a mission to Mars' moons to retrieve samples that may unlock the origins of the Solar System and life on Earth, although a rival Chinese mission aims to make it back first. The unmanned Martian Moons eXploration (MMX), set to blast off from Tanegashima Space Center in the coming months, could also lay the groundwork for humans visiting the red planet. The spacecraft, revealed to media last Thursday, will stay in Mars' orbit for around three years and will attempt to land on Phobos. It will collect at least 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of material from...

Fatten Elkomy and brother worked for Islamic American Relief Agency that 'provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bin Laden in 1999' ============================================================= ============================================================= Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed last month highlighted how his mother “taught me so much about both how to stand with others, and how to stand alone.” In a video posted to TikTok, the former Wayne County health official chatted on a porch swing with Jacqueline El-Sayed, a highly accomplished engineer from Gratiot County, about how his stepmother helped shape his views on life as she helped raise the progressive firebrand in Bloomfield Hills, an...

Did you ever fly on Spirit Airlines? Or work there? Or send an email to someone who worked there? Then your information will soon be feeding Google’s artificial intelligence model. The discount airline halted all operations in May, and it’s been selling off its remaining assets through the bankruptcy process ever since. While most of that is planes, equipment, and real estate, there’s other things that are valuable, too. It was disclosed late Monday that the company agreed to sell its data to Google for $10 million. That includes emails and internal communications, spreadsheets, transactions with the public including bookings...

Around 8,500 years ago, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers were living on the tiny islands of Malta -- thousands of years after the islands had become separated from Sicily. The shortest sea crossing was around 80 kilometres. So how did these prehistoric seafarers get there, and how could such a small population survive on Malta for around a thousand years?

No state matches Florida in higher education reform. Its landmark Senate Bill 266, passed during the 2023 legislative session, abolished DEI offices. It also requires general education reform in state universities and colleges. Few reforms simply implement themselves. The rubber of implementation started hitting university roads in 2023. Florida’s Board of Governors (BOG), which oversees the entire university system, put forward a rule to remove Sociology 1000: The Principles of Sociology as part of general education reform. Final BOG approval came in early 2024. Then Florida’s college system removed Sociology 1000 from its 28 schools in April 2024. Beginning in...

A Michigan Senate poll offers warning signs for Democrats (Analysis by Sahil Kapur) While polls show a political environment favorable enough to Senate Democrats that they’re competitive in several states where President Donald Trump won by double digits, a new survey offers a sobering reality check in must-win Michigan. Days after progressive Abdul El-Sayed defeated moderate Haley Stevens in a highly competitive Democratic primary this month, a Fox News poll conducted by a bipartisan pair of polling firms found El-Sayed trailing Republican nominee Mike Rogers by 4 percentage points, 51%-47%. The same poll also looked at the race for governor...

From the article:Having spent over 55 years inside academe — earning Bachelor of Science (BS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, then serving as a post-doctoral cancer researcher, faculty member, and research administrator, not retiring until almost 79 years of age — how the one-year title of Staff Sergeant (SSG) decades ago could mean more to me than my PhD might seem bizarre. Nonetheless, it’s true. Why? The 19-months in the U.S. Army, as a 24-year-old draftee, transformed my life. Essentially every significant civilian success thereafter can be attributed to that brief stint serving America, and two main factors...

California’s super-rich have plenty of luxury bunkers to choose from — but this one takes doomsday prepping to a whole new level. A massive network of underground vaults is being carved into the Swiss Alps, offering the ultra-wealthy a heavily fortified place to stash everything from priceless art and gold to vintage Ferraris and expensive wine. The complex will house about 20 private vaults buried under more than 100 meters of solid rock — a natural fortress designed to keep criminals out. Each underground cave is being sold on a 99-year lease, with prices starting at nearly 1 million Swiss...

A ship was struck by a projectile early Tuesday while sailing out of the Strait of Hormuz, British military officials confirmed. No one has claimed responsibility for the strike. An Iranian official says the critical waterway will remain closed until the United States meets Iran's conditions. The attack comes as Iran continues to restrict shipping traffic through one of the world's most important trade routes. The incident is rattling energy markets. Oil prices are among the highest seen since July, and diesel has soared in every part of the country in the last 24 hours. The national average for a...

The West’s selective hatred of Israel says less about Israel than it does about the values—and prejudices—of those who condemn it. Hamas or Israeli Values?Israel dominates the daily news in this 2026 midterm election year—almost always in a boring, fatiguing, negative light. Tens of thousands of innocents may be slaughtered, ethnically cleansed, butchered, and tortured by the world’s dictators, yet an overwhelming and obsessive abhorrence is reserved for tiny, democratic Israel. Such perverse asymmetry is strange, since, at least privately, most Americans would concede that of the 18 Middle Eastern nations, only Israel is a genuine consensual democracy. As far...

At Kimmeridge Bay [Dorset, UK] on the Jurassic Coast, the rocks have a bit of a pattern to them. And there's a good reason for that! It's a record of changes in Earth’s climate that were driven by something happening far beyond Dorset: the changing geometry of Earth’s orbit around the Sun... Because Earth's orbit changes over time in cycles! Welcome to Milancovich cycles! This is far from the only rock unit that shows this, and in fact the Blue Lias around Lyme Regis is also pretty famous for this, but I found this cool paper that really investigated it...
