SACRAMENTO — Texas real estate agent Tara Jarrett opened the online class with a prayer, bowing her head and closing her eyes.“Dear Heavenly Father,” she began. “I ask that you would just speak to me and through me as I deliver this detailed message tonight.”What followed was a lesson on revenge.Jarrett walked the attendees, logged in from California and other states, through the process of filing liens to punish public officials, such as politicians and judges, who they alleged aren’t upholding their oaths of office. Those liens are recorded in state Uniform Commercial Code databases, public filings intended to alert...

The president clamors for the Fed to lower interest rates because it serves his wild spending.No one likes to be told no, especially Donald Trump. To refuse the president is to invite a battle that he will pursue to the bitter end. So the Federal Reserve’s decision on Wednesday to leave interest rates unchanged, at 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent, was hardly a routine vote. It was a loud no from the majority of voting members — including the president’s designated nemesis, Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell — to Trump’s demand that “interest rates have to come down.”The retributive president...

The agency asked five climate skeptics to write a report criticizing the consensus on global warming. Scientists are pointing out its errors.Sea level rise is not accelerating. More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will be good for plant growth. The computer models used to predict global warming tend to exaggerate future temperature increases.These arguments, routinely made by people who reject the scientific consensus on climate change, were included in an unusual report released by the Energy Department on Tuesday. The report, which is meant to support the Trump administration’s sweeping efforts to roll back climate regulations, contends that the mainstream...

Explanation: A long time ago in a galaxy 50 million light-years away, a star exploded. Light from that supernova was first detected by telescopes on planet Earth on July 14th though, and the extragalactic transient is now known to astronomers as supernova 2025rbs. Presently the brightest supernova in planet Earth's sky, 2025rbs is a Type Ia supernova, likely caused by the thermonuclear detonation of a white dwarf star that accreted material from a companion in a binary star system. Type Ia supernovae are used as standard candles to establish the distance scale of the universe. The host galaxy of 2025rbs...

Sir Keir Starmer must recall Parliament to discuss the Channel migrant “emergency” after the number of arrivals surged past 25,000 in record time, critics declared. Some 898 asylum seekers were intercepted on 13 boats on Wednesday – an average of 70 people per dinghy. It takes the total so far this year to 25,436 in 432 boats – the first time the milestone has been reached in July. And the Daily Express can reveal frustration is beginning to boil over among seafarers navigating the Channel. An exasperated P&O Ferries captain asked a French navy vessel: “Is that the same dinghy...

The president said Mexico agreed to eliminate non-tariff trade barriers, though he did not specify what those were.President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day extension to a trade deal deadline with Mexico, delaying the imposition of new tariffs.The announcement came just hours before the Aug. 1 deadline, which would have triggered a 30% tariff on products imported from Mexico."The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border," President Trump said on Truth Social. "We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same...

When the Texas Civil Rights Project needed lawyers to help dozens of people arrested during U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, legal director Dustin Rynders turned to a familiar strategy. He contacted major law firms that for decades had provided free legal services to nonprofits like his. On that April day in Houston, he called his usual contacts, many at firms that had previously handled challenges to Trump’s immigration policies. Before Trump’s return to the White House, they typically offered swift “pro bono,” or free, legal help – a standard public service provided by elite U.S. firms. This time, they...

Tulsi Gabbard issued a new document today. It included a whistleblower statement, from a former “Deputy National Intelligence Officer at the National Intelligence Council.” I never even heard of this agency. The former official blew the whistle because his objections to the Russiagate report were suppressed. He wouldn’t sign off on the use of unverifiable evidence in the Russiagate assessment. He said the dossier material was inserted during a car ride with James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan. These people are unbelievable. After some debate, I declined to alter my own analysis based on this suggestion. To provide context...

Ms Archerd initially created four embryos, which were frozen. One became her now-30-year-old daughter but the other three were put into storage.
