NewsNation correspondent Joe Khalil posted a text he received from a Republican member of Congress on Thursday painting a grim picture of the party’s chances in South Carolina. Khalil posted the screenshot on X/Twitter. In the tweet, he called the congressman’s words a “brutal assessment” on the “party’s own prospects” in South Carolina Senate’s race. The messages read: Republicans won this seat by 18 points. The fact it’s this close and the speaker has to come to SC 1 to drag the R across the finish line is embarrassing. ----ing embarrassing it’s so close. Darline race is probably dragging this...

The US Army has started practicing digging mass graves to bury fallen troops for the first time in decades amid fears of a looming war with Iran. The exercise tested how effectively diggers and excavators could help keep bodies intact pending identification and return to the US. Images of the training captured an Army D6 bulldozer pulling dirt from the ground to form massive trenches. Operators kept the bulldozer blade 18 inches above the ground, allowing loose soil to fall into the trench instead of forcing it down. To test whether soil weight could crush human remains, the team...

Until now, the public had to rely on lies told by the mainstream media to understand why the windows were covered at the TCF Center in Detroit on the day after the November 2020 election. After more than 100 volunteers carefully reviewed nearly one million documents from Detroit’s November 2020 election—documents obtained through a FOIA lawsuit filed by New Jersey citizen Yehuda Miller—we are now prepared to announce one of our investigation’s most significant findings. Democrat poll challenger David Burcar covered the windows at the TCF Center to keep GOP poll challengers from watching the process. Jocelyn Benson appears to...

How nice of Judge Mohammed. Dahir Ibrahim, West Midlands Police. Nothing to see here. Just one of those misunderstandings that seem to happen with people from a society and a belief system that says raping women is okay as long as they’re not Muslims and not wearing hijabs or burkas. Meet Dahir Ibrahim: the UK’s most prominent Somali Muslim figure. A convicted Somalian rapist who managed to overturn a deportation order went on to rape two more women in Birmingham, with his lawyer arguing ‘he had a lack of understanding of what is acceptable in the UK. This made for...

A little-known agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ended a myriad legal giveaways to 2.2 million migrants welcomed by President Joe Biden. The withdrawal of the legal giveaways allows the department’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to overcome the army of elite-funded pro-migration lawyers who are trying to minimize deportations. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency is “reversing the downstream effects of the Biden border crisis,” the department stated on October 29. The statement added: “These actions are in addition to the millions of visa revocations and denials issued by the U.S. Department of State...

A Florida man on trial for murder in the US has made an unusual offer in court in exchange for a guilty confession. Robert Kessler, 74, told a Hillsborough Circuit Judge that he would plead guilty if he could get a "Philly cheesesteak", "fries, and a Pepsi". Kessler is accused of killing 47-year-old Stephanie Crone-Overholts, who had been staying at his Tampa-area home in 2021. He faces charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse, according to a WFLA report. The unusual incident happened earlier this week, when Kessler, who has reportedly turned blind now, appeared before Hillsborough Circuit...

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino warned his podcast listeners this week to take action and stock up on essentials like food and water as other countries have warned their citizens to stockpile amid threats of cyberattacks. During his podcast, Bongino said that people should have 30 days of food and water ready in case of an emergency. “There have been some warnings put out by the UK government and elsewhere about 30 days of preparedness and having food ready and power,” Bongino said, according to Mediaite.

They’ve gotten arrogant and lazy and entitled about corruption, as if it’s an accepted part of their brand. Late this week we’ve witnessed two of the more blatant examples of left-wing cheating of recent years: Maria Peltola and James Boasberg. The New York Times, of all publications, has revealed that the Peltola campaign did in fact search high and low among the tall pines and glaciers for somebody named Dan Sullivan to appear on the ballot to divert votes from the legit incumbent. Furthermore, they go on to assert that Peltola herself was aware of it and may well have...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/30/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 68[a] For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

With the midterms days away, federal officials are arresting and charging noncitizens accused of illegally registering and voting. DHS says it’s checking about 300,000 more cases against state voter rolls. That puts noncitizen voting at the center of the election-integrity debate going into Election Day.

Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia fired by War Secretary Pete Hegseth Fired Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who served as director of the Directorate for Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly admitted to leaking classified information, according to the Pentagon’s internal investigation. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Sylvia was fired from the Joint Chiefs of Staff this week for “severe misconduct,” including leaking classified information on the Iran and Russia-Ukraine wars, a Department of War official said. He was also criminally referred to the Department of Justice, as an investigation into his leaks remains...

Weiss addressed the NYT bombshell report at Thursday's network-wide morning meeting =============================================================== EXCLUSIVE — CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss faced "significant resistance" from staff at Thursday's 9 a.m. meeting about the growing Alaska ballot controversy, network insiders told Fox News Digital.

My boss's wife just had a large melanoma removed from her back. They think she may have a small ocular melanoma. My family had a bad experience with that type of cancer in a relative. Do any of you have any knowledge of the best place in the country to be treated for melanoma? Thanks.

A nurse has been killed and another health worker seriously injured in an attack as they were responding to an Ebola alert in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The two were targeted by local youths who accused them of contaminating water sources and spreading the Ebola virus, according to the UN-backed Radio Okapi. The World Health Organization (WHO) condemned the attack.

ot the least of Donald Trump’s achievements is his successful effort to disarm federal government agencies. Since the turn of the century – and probably much longer – there has been a tendency by federal agencies to create their own private SWAT teams, equipped with everything from Humvees to armored vehicles and armed with military-grade automatic weapons. While some of these made a minimal kind of sense (the Bureau of Land Management has had problems with marijuana cultivators and the Bureau of Indian Affairs has memories of the deadly 1973 Wounded Knee confrontation), most didn’t. One of the more puzzling...

An official National Park Video shows double meaning, irony, and tragedy in screenshots. On July 25, 2014, Brian D. Murphy used both bear spray and a .357 magnum revolver to stop a charging grizzly bear. He probably shot the bear in the face. The shot stunned the bear, stopped the charge, but did not kill the bear. Murphy shot the bear after it had charged through the bear spray. Murphy helped keep other hikers safe. He immediately told park rangers about the incident.All the physical evidence was consistent with Murphy’s account. The bear had left by the time the rangers...
