A Colorado landlord has agreed to sell a troubled apartment complex that was taken over by the violent Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua. Landlord Zev Baumgarten has been fighting with the Denver suburb of Aurora over the Aspen Grove after the city accused him of allowed it to become a trash-ridden, gang-infested hellhole, according to records obtained by the Denver Gazette. Baumgarten is also the owner of another apartment complex where a viral video showed a crew of gun-toting thugs breaking into a unit, according to the Gazette. Baumgarten’s company has now agreed to sell, lease, or find some...

The prime minister has told the BBC his new government is "going to have to be unpopular" as he defended his "tough" decision to cut winter fuel payments. Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg in his first major interview in Downing Street, Sir Keir Starmer said he was determined to deliver change but this meant having to "do the difficult things now". Challenged on his plan to remove winter fuel payments from most pensioners while also awarding above inflation pay rises to some public sector workers, he said he was "fixing the foundations" and those in need would still get...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign tried to blame her and President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan on former President Donald Trump — even though it happened seven months after he left office. The Harris-Walz campaign released a statement Friday that claimed, “Trump left the Biden-Harris Administration with zero plans for an orderly withdrawal — only a dangerous, costly mess.” Trump had begun negotiations with the Taliban and reached a deal, but it had not been completed by the time he left office in January 2020. Biden — against the advice of his military advisers — decided to withdraw...

X-ray specs and invisibility cloaks are the stuff of sci-fi and fantasy, but sometimes science is just stranger than fiction. A food dye that helps give certain sodas and snacks their hallmark orange hue renders mouse skin almost completely see-through in a reversible, potentially non-toxic research method that could transform medical and scientific imaging. Because of a counterintuitive fundamental physics principle, Tartrazine, also known as Yellow 5, can temporarily turn biological tissue transparent to the naked eye, as described in a study published September 5 in the journal Science. So far, the scientists behind the new discovery have used the...

Kamala Harris' team is getting 'nervous' ahead of her showdown with Donald Trump according to sources close to her campaign. Insiders, including a campaign strategist, reportedly told BBC US Special Correspondent Katty Kay of their concerns in a series of frantic texts and phone calls. 'I'm picking up quite a lot of nervousness by the way on the state of the race,' Kay said during an episode of The Rest is Politics: US podcast.

Democrats are facing an unfriendly map to hold their Senate majority come November, but they are defiant that they can keep control of the chamber despite Republicans having an advantage in several key states. Currently, Democrats hold a slim 51-seat majority in the Senate thanks to 47 Senate Democrats and four Independents who caucus with them. Senate Republicans are not far behind, holding 49 seats. If Democrats lose any seat they currently hold without picking up any, they are expected to slip to below 50 seats and forfeit the coveted majority.

Nikki Haley says that she is willing to step-up to help Donald Trump if he wants to tap her assistance despite their up-and-down past. Haley was the final woman standing against Trump in the 2024 primary election with a crowded field of Republicans seeking to oust the former president for a chance at the White House. She often spoke out against Trump and aired her grievances and disagreements. But before that, Haley served for nearly two years as Trump's Ambassador to the United Nations from January 2017 through December 2018.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed Sunday on ABC “This Week” that Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention the former Ronald Reagan could have given. Cheney said, “If you look at Vice President Harris’ Speech for example, at the Democratic Convention, it is a speech that Ronald Reagan could have given. It is a speech that George Bush could have given. It’s very much an embrace and an understanding of the exceptional nature of this great nation, a love of America, a recognition that America is a special place, a recognition that we all...

“We proved that the Einstein field equation from general relativity is actually a relativistic quantum mechanical equation,” the researchers note in their study. In simple words, this new framework connects the science that governs the macroscopic world with that of the microscopic world. Therefore, it has the potential to explain every physical phenomenon known to humanity ranging from the mysterious dark matter in space to the photons emitted by your phone’s flashlight. “To date, no globally accepted theory has been proposed to explain all physical observations,” the researchers added. They claim that their theory can challenge the foundations of physics...

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris because former President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), who beat an incumbent Liz Cheney. Host Dana Bash said, “I want to start with some of the endorsements that Kamala Harris got this week, particularly from former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and her father, the former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney.”

Former President George W. Bush does not plan to endorse a candidate for president, his office told NBC News on Saturday.When asked whether the former president or his wife, Laura, would endorse a candidate or make public how they will vote, Bush's office said "no.""President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago," the office added.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that voting for former President Donald Trump or writing in a name was “to abandon the Constitution.” Host Jonathan Karl said, “There was a lot of talk during the primaries of the Nikki Haley voters, and some states seem like even when she stopped running, almost a third of Republican voters were looking for an alternative to Trump and voting for Nikki Haley. She’s now saying that she is, quote, on standby to campaign for Donald Trump to help him get re-elected. She’s also of course, called him unhinged,...

Dr. Zahi Hawass is seeking the repatriation of Egyptian artifacts from Germany, England and France. Zahi Abass Hawass (born May 28, 1947) is an Egyptian archaeologist, Egyptologist, and former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs, serving twice. He has also worked at archaeological sites in the Nile Delta, the Western Desert and the Upper Nile Valley. Dr. Hawass: When I discuss repatriation (the returning of artifacts to their home country) many people think that I believe that every Egyptian artifact belongs in Egypt, but that is not true. I have created this petition that you can sign so that unique...

If you ask the average man or woman on the street if crime is rising or falling in America, the solid majority response would be rising. Rasmussen Reports found the number of Americans who believe violent crime is rising very constant at 60%. Gallup found 92% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats believe that crime is rising. Roughly four times as many people think violent crime is rising rather than getting better. But the actual figures for violent crime are falling in almost every major city. Why the disconnect? Why are people convinced crime is on the rise? First of...

The new August jobs report shows employment numbers of U.S.-born workers and foreign-born workers going on two very different trajectories. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an arm of the Department of Labor, shows native-born Americans lost more than 1.3 million jobs over the last 12 months, while foreign-born workers gained more than 1.2 million jobs. The news comes as U.S. job growth picked up in August but missed economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate changed little. As of August of this year, there are 129,712,000 native-born workers compared to 131,031,000 in August 2023, meaning a plummeting reduction...

It is a work of art with a classical aesthetic, showing the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus. Ameti posted a story...

Amazon has uploaded an image of a sexually suggestive art and design publication called "KINFOLK" instead of the proper cover for Bulletproof: How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, the first book about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The inappropriate cover image first appeared on Friday and was noted by Bulletproof author Posobiec, who tweeted "ATTN: I do not know what is going on but This is NOT the cover for Bulletproof, @Amazon. They are sabotaging the FIRST book every written about the Trump assassination." The news of the...
