President Donald Trump declared that Iran 'really wants to make a deal' early on Monday morning, just hours after the US military launched strikes against Iranian drone facilities. In a late-night Truth Social post shortly after 1am, Trump insisted diplomacy remained within reach despite the latest exchange of fire, while simultaneously lashing out at critics he said were undermining his negotiating position. 'Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the USA and those that are with us,' Trump wrote. But the president also took aim at what he called 'Dumocrats' and 'seemingly...

The official account for the Obama White House was hacked on Sunday and spammed with bizarre memes. The unidentified hacker added some pictures to the @obamawhitehouse account, including an AI-generated image that claimed the White House was now under Shiite control, according to TMZ. He also added some posts to the page's Instagram Stories. But a representative for Meta - the parent company of Instagram - said the account has now been secured and all of the unauthorized content removed. The account had previously last been updated in 2017, when President Donald Trump took office for his first term. However,...

This video features commentary by Benny Johnson regarding a recent ruling by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals related to Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB4). The discussion highlights the following key points: The Ruling: The Fifth Circuit court granted Texas an appeal that effectively lifts a temporary injunction, allowing the state to move forward with enforcing SB4 (2:50-3:08). Enforcement Powers: Proponents, including the future Texas Attorney General Maize Middleton, argue that this law empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest and deport individuals suspected of illegal entry, bypassing federal barriers that had previously stalled such actions (2:30-2:44, 7:48-8:13)....

Gold:The earliest documented use occurred in China around 2,500 years before it was presented to the baby Jesus. In medieval times, and still today, certain outlets promoted the consumption of gold to alleviate depressive symptoms and migraines, while improving concentration and alertness. In the 19th century, gold was considered nervine — an agent that calms the nerves — and it was used to treat diverse conditions ranging from alcoholism to epilepsy... Some gold salts, though, can be processed by the body and have anti-inflammatory properties. Some arthritis drugs include gold salts, such as sodium aurothiomalate and auranofin... The isotope gold-198...

A Democrat congressional candidate from Hawaii allegedly pulled a gun on officials after storming a government building — swiftly landing him in handcuffs. Kirill Basin, 40, allegedly threatened two Maui County workers during the terrifying incident at around 9:30 a.m. on Friday before fleeing the building in Wailuku, Civil Beat reported. The longshot candidate for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District was arrested at his home around 12:30 p.m. on a terrorist threatening in the first degree charge. Basin bizarrely claimed in an Instagram post on Thursday the day before his arrest that cops had tortured him for 14 hours. “This is...

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saint Justin, MartyrJesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey. At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard.” Mark 12:10–12Today’s Gospel takes place during the Passover at the Temple in Jerusalem, just days before Jesus’ Passion and Death. The chief priests, scribes, and...

Supporting Free Republic Is Better Than Arguing Over Posts On Free Republic The Depth Of The Left Should Not Be Underestimated I have come to believe in the depth of the Left and its ability to exploit any situation like 9/11 for example to take away freedom using government agencies to spy on Americans. Donald J. Trump supports that stuff and Thomas Massie doesn't by the way. In 2016 the FBI informants more than 15 of them were at the Oregon Standoff protest to stir things up try to turn Ammon Bundy's peaceful protest into 'domestic terrorism'. Thank God an...

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) said he would work with anyone who wanted to fight against President Donald Trump when asked about Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who’s embroiled in controversy amid allegations of adulterous behavior.

A known anti-Trump, Democrat mega-donor financed a lawsuit built on allegations from decades earlier to assassinate the character of a sitting president.The Department of Justice purportedly launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, according to a CNN exclusive published Wednesday, and corporate media rushed to decry the supposed “weaponization” of justice against the writer who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault. Though the exact nature of the investigation remains uncertain, it’s well worth revisiting the facts that undermine Carroll’s half-baked anti-Trump hit job.CNN reported that the investigation is centered on whether Carroll committed perjury. Prosecutors, CNN said, are...

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said U.S. forces have killed “hundreds” of Islamic State militants in Nigeria, crediting President Donald Trump’s directive to protect Christians in the country from Islamist violence.During a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Hegseth said Trump charged the military with taking steps to protect Nigerian Christians roughly a year ago after learning of their targeting by the Islamic State terror group.Building the partnerships necessary to carry out such a mission took time, the secretary said, but the president remained persistent, and the right assets were eventually put in place."And over the last month,...

Maine Democrats were warned. They had every reason to look more closely at Graham Platner before handing him their Senate nomination. They didn't. Now the drip, drip, drip of scandal has turned into a flood, and the question isn't whether Platner survives; it’s whether he makes it to Election Day without the whole thing collapsing. I’m not sure that he will. As far as I’m concerned, the Nazi tattoo alone should have ended his campaign last year. Yet, Maine Democrats shrugged. Then came the Reddit posts. It was a barrage of embarrassing, disqualifying stuff for most candidates. Maine Democrats shrugged...

In five years, we’ll all likely be chuckling and shaking our heads over AI. Because today, the tech feels free and limitless, doesn’t it?People are generating endless content: images, videos, memes, code snippets, social posts. Companies are bolting AI onto products by default, the way every Fortune 500 company suddenly discovered they were “sustainable” five years ago.There’s much deliberation on AI right now, and it splits into two main camps of thesis:The majority — those who will die on its hill of promise, convinced we’re months away from effective altruism, UBI, and sentient toasters.And the minority — usually older, more...

Tehran: Iranian authorities have dismissed a report claiming Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has sought to step down in protest over the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) unchecked dominance in Tehran's wartime decision-making. The rebuttal came after UK-based Iran International reported that Pezeshkian had submitted his resignation to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, saying that the elected government has effectively been excluded from vital decision-making processes in the country and that the vacuum created by this situation has enabled hardline factions within the IRGC to take control of affairs. Citing an informed government source, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that the...

Nearly 115 million Americans are on the road to diabetes. New research suggests an inexpensive, widely available supplement could slow that journey, but only for some of them. A genetic quirk in roughly 70 percent of prediabetic adults may determine whether high-dose vitamin D can meaningfully lower their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open. The research builds on the D2d trial. More than 2,000 U.S. adults living with prediabetes were randomized to either take 4,000 units of vitamin D or a placebo for up to 3.5 years. Initially, the trial did...

Can Arabs wage a Holy War?Lake Success, L.I., 29. (By Ruth Karpf, Special Correspondent for *La Patrie*).The Arabs have drawn their scimitars and brandish them beneath the very eyes of the United Nations. They drew them on the day the United Nations voted to partition Palestine, and they made them flash—for the first time in the eyes of the world—during the meetings of the General Assembly, when spokesperson after spokesperson for the Arab nations hurled a challenge at the United Nations, whose decisions and authority they had, only moments before, sworn to respect.

Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI, which launched ChatGPT, is not overweight. Gay tech billionaires rarely are. Even so, as he explained in a recent interview, he was keen to try a GLP-1, one of those drugs that have revolutionised weight loss in the past five years. You can understand why he was curious. Ozempic or Mounjaro might appear to have nothing in common with artificial intelligence, but both phenomena have created a sensation that we’re entering an era of accelerating and uncontrollable change. Alas, he screwed it up. He had someone inject him with a megadose, puked all night...

Deep in the archives of the Vatican library, a mysterious hand-written book, scrawled with strange symbols, had lain unread for more than 400 years. Its cryptic pages apparently concealed secret remedies "for affections of the human body", according to some text scratched inside the cover. Such healing practices were kept under wraps at the time since they could attract suspicion or even accusations of witchcraft.Known as the Borg cipher, the 408-page-long manuscript is mostly incomprehensible -- coded using 34 obscure symbols with a few Roman letters and a front page written in Arabic. There was no known key to reveal...
