    The Justice Department announced Friday that an Afghan woman whose sons were connected to the 2024 Election Day terror plot has been deported from the United States through the never-before-used Alien Terrorist Removal Court. Nazira Haji Zada, 47 years old and living in Fort Worth, Texas, was deported last month through the unusual court, and she agreed to accept the "terrorist" label that bars her from ever returning to the United States, the department said. The Justice Department accused Zada of working to “indoctrinate her children with ISIS ideology and have them pledge loyalty to ISIS," which resulted in her...

    For several days the pontificating media have been parading around the various jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, using the mostly white women to frame the deliberations as sexist and insensitive to the emotional plight of a woman who strangled her three children to death with an exercise band. Millions of middle-age, suburban, angry white females have proclaimed that American men should not have an opinion in the case while simultaneously using toxic sympathy as a weapon to defend the murderer. The previously described “one male holdout juror” who created a mistrial by failing to find the murdering mother...
  • Trump immigration boss says Ilhan Omar DID marry her brother... and an official investigation could see her deported

    Trump's top immigration official claims an internal investigation found that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar 'married her brother' and could be facing deportation. 'We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat. 'We know he lives now in London.' He was speaking about the second man Omar married, who the Daily Mail has previously reported is Ahmed Elmi. Both are originally from Somalia. She allegedly was still married to her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, at the time of the second marriage, the congresswoman...

    Explanation: Beautiful and bright spiral galaxy M83 lies some twelve million light-years away, near the southeastern tip of the very long constellation Hydra. Prominent spiral arms traced by dark dust lanes and blue star clusters lend this galaxy its popular name, the Southern Pinwheel. Still, reddish star forming regions that dot this cosmic pinwheel's spiral arms have suggested another nickname, the Thousand-Ruby Galaxy. A mere 40,000 light-years across, smaller than the Milky Way, M83 is a member of a group of galaxies that includes active galaxy Centaurus A. In fact, the core of M83 itself is bright at x-ray energies,...
  • Previously classified 9/11 documents released by CIA on 25th anniversary of attacks

    The CIA released 71 declassified documents related to the 9/11 attacks on Friday, the 25th anniversary of deadly Al Qaeda terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. The documents, which were posted on the CIA’s website, cover the period from February 1998 to Sept. 12, 2001, which is the day after the attacks. All are drawn from the daily intelligence briefings that were given by the CIA and other spy agencies to President Bill Clinton and his successor, President George W. Bush. In a statement, CIA Director John Ratcliffe called it “the single largest release of CIA analysis related to...
  • New Bill Proposes 32-Hour Work Week—Here’s How It Would Work

    Newsweek ^ | September 11, 2026 | Aliss Higham
    A new bill in Congress would move the United States toward a 32-hour standard workweek, with supporters arguing that workers should benefit from productivity gains linked to artificial intelligence and automation. The Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act, introduced this week by independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democratic Representative Mark Takano of California, would gradually lower the point at which many employees become entitled to overtime pay from the current 40 hours a week to 32. It would also seek to prevent employers from cutting workers' pay or benefits because their standard hours get reduced. The measure does not mean...

    Democrat Sen. John Fetterman warmly introduced fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican at the Republican midterm convention. The appearance fueled speculation Fetterman could seek REELECTION as an INDEPENDENT in 2028. "His support is so low among his fellow Democrats I am not sure he could hire any staffers or consultants to work for him, so that's off the table,"

    A defense lawyer appealing his client's murder conviction submitted a brief containing made-up police testimony and witnesses fabricated by OpenAI's ChatGPT, New Mexico's highest court said. The New ‌Mexico Supreme Court on Wednesday fined the attorney, Stephen Aarons, and held him in contempt for failing to verify ‌the accuracy of the court filing, which Aarons said he prepared with help from the AI program. The filing "contained false testimony from wholly fabricated witnesses," ​the court said. The panel also said Aarons had "demonstrated a lack of remorse and a lack of concern for his client." The justices fined Aarons $5,000...

    Politico ^ | September 11, 2026 | Jeremy B. White
    The labor leader championing California’s wealth tax threatened other union officials as he sought to build support for the measure and previously assaulted a labor official, according to an independent investigation. A law firm’s probe into allegations against SEIU-UHW leader Dave Regan, obtained by POLITICO, substantiated claims made in a February complaint that Regan sought to intimidate other labor leaders into endorsing the proposed wealth tax, which has sharply divided California’s organized labor movement — and it found that a labor leader “reasonably” felt threatened because of Regan’s history of verbally and physically intimidating people. The law firm did not...

    Former senator Al Franken, D-Minn., and more than two dozen other Jewish Americans signed an open letter endorsing Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The open letter, which was first reported by The Washington Post, discusses El-Sayed's foreign policy positions, including statements about Israel and Iran, which "have been a concern for many." However, the letter said, "his positions are much less outside the mainstream of the contemporary foreign-policy debate than some of the charged rhetoric surrounding his candidacy might suggest." While El-Sayed has been highly critical of Israel’s war in Gaza and "abuses in the West Bank," the letter...

    The most off-putting thing about the NFL asking two teams to fly 16 hours to the other side of the world and play a key division rivalry game in Australia the first week of the season was the league agreeing to give the performative antics of some lady named Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin a stage during its pregame ceremony. Aunty Joy, as she is affectionately called by her followers, which include people in the Australian government, is an Indigenous Australian and Senior Wurundjeri elder of the Kulin Alliance, Victoria. And what that title means is that she is often tasked...

    ALBANY – Gov. Kathy Hochul is exploring building a new 3,000-bed state prison — the largest in New York — in a baffling reverse-of-course after shuttering numerous correctional facilities. The state Corrections Department is seeking proposals to construct the massive proposed $750 million facility somewhere in the state, according to stunning documents released this week and obtained by The Post. “The proposed facility will include approximately 3,000 beds, multiple new housing and support buildings, security systems, and significant site and utility infrastructure improvements,” the documents said. As to where the new prison might be located, the documents only said it...
  • Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for Reflecting Pool Failure

    New York Times ^ | September 11, 2026 | David A. Fahrenthold
    The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has told the Trump administration that errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose, according to government documents. President Trump has repeatedly blamed vandals wielding knives or box cutters for damage to the pool’s “American flag blue” liner, even after the Justice Department dropped charges that it had brought against people accused of vandalizing the national landmark. But the documents, which have not previously been reported, make clear that the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, found...

    President Donald Trump closed out night one of the Republican National Committee (RNC) first-ever midterm convention with one simple plea: “Pretend that I’m on the ballot.” “I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot. I’m on the ballot. I’m on the ballot. Just one more time, because if we lose, you’re going to lose your border, you’re going to lose your tax cuts, you’re going to lose your safety and security, you’re going to lose your wealth,” Trump said. It’s an important ask, given how Republicans have struggled to turn out voters when Trump is not literally on...

    9/11 Exposed The Weakness Of A Post-Christian WestWe didn’t just get the Muslim world wrong. We got America wrong too.A quarter-century removed from the terrorist attacks of 9/11, several things are now obvious that were not at all obvious to American elites in 2001 (although they should have been). Perhaps the most obvious, as I wrote earlier this week, is that the attacks inaugurated a religious war that we have lost, or at least are in the process of losing. The West failed to recognize the religious nature of the conflict because it was committed to a secular liberal account...
