Jewish activists in Brighton say pro-Palestine canvassers are engaging in a 'campaign of intimidation' by knocking on the doors of locals and asking them to boycott Israeli products. Members of the Brighton and Hove Apartheid-Free Zone (AFZ) group were filmed going door-to-door in the city on February 7, asking residents to sign a pledge against goods manufactured in Israel. The group says it is expressing solidarity with Palestinians who have been killed and displaced in Gaza, taking inspiration from the Anti-Apartheid Movement that targeted South Africa in the latter half of the 20th century.

War erupted at Columbia University when lefty faculty and students mobilized to torpedo an ICE recruitment event the school dared to post. The meltdown was triggered by an ad this week on the website of Columbia’s School of Professional Studies for a Feb. 18 US Customs and Border Protection virtual career expo. “Help defend the homeland,” reads the description of the event seeking to recruit for thousands of “mission critical positions,” and promising various Department of Homeland Security agencies in attendance. “This is a unique opportunity to learn more about our mission and how you could contribute to it, making...

During 2025, a saga unfolded where a dangerous, food-habituated grizzly bear swam across three miles of saltwater to Texada Island in British Columbia, Canada. The bear had been tagged in the left ear. It was a young boar about 4 years old that had been relocated twice due to conflicts with humans. The bear kept coming back. Just before the swim, the bear had been breaking into fishing boats and had stalked two teenagers on the beach. They had to take to the water to avoid the bear on May 22, 2025. COS is the acronym for the Conservation Officers...

More than 50,000 students in San Francisco sat at home this week learning nothing because their teachers, who are members of the United Educators of San Francisco, refused to work until they won higher pay and more generous benefits. San Francisco teachers are already among the highest paid in the nation, even though more than a quarter of students are chronically absent and more than half fail math and reading. More and more students are abandoning public schools and going to private ones. Who can blame them? Across the country in Virginia, Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Democratic majorities in...

Hamas’s military wing began sending coded emoji messages on WhatsApp to operatives’ phones just hours before the October 7, 2023, attack, using the symbols as an agreed signal to mobilize terrorists to mosques for last minute instructions.

Late night host Bill Maher urged young men who are struggling with women to look inward and address the underlying causes of their situation, while also acknowledging that they were "born in a society that said just being male was toxic." During Friday's episode of "Real Time," Maher argued that while some of today's most notable female pop stars are "practically screaming that they can't get no satisfaction," the problem all women are facing is that "they're living in a world full of guys who are afraid to even make eye contact without an NDA."

TULSA, Okla. — The Islamic Society of Tulsa welcomed families, neighbors, and community members to its mosque Sunday for a public open house aimed at building understanding and connection. The event follows the denial of a proposed mosque in Broken Arrow. Broken Arrow City Council members rejected rezoning and permit applications for the project, citing concerns about insufficient infrastructure along Olive Avenue to handle the potential increase in weekly traffic. Despite that decision, leaders at the Tulsa mosque said Sunday’s event was not about revisiting the proposal, but about inviting people to learn more about their faith. Throughout the afternoon,...

[snip] With border czar Tom Homan as his guest, Tapper repeatedly attempted to lure him into criticizing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Axios recently reported friction between the two, and Tapper clearly sought to exploit the issue. Tapper began by playing a clip of Noem saying that when it comes to elections, it’s important for DHS to be proactive “to make sure that we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country.” Tapper invited Homan to interpret Noem’s statement about “electing the right leaders.” Homan demurred, saying that would be a question for the Secretary. But...

I maintain a page that links to the current prayer-book day in the Traditional Latin Mass. (I don't want to have the needed day shrouded, I want users to be able to get to it instantly.) I asked a simple question of the resident "Co-Pilot" A.I. on the Microsoft browser "Edge", which I use because my instance of "Chrome" is infested by evil electronic ads which invade my peace. I asked the simple question, which I should be able to answer by looking at the calendar--except that Windows has deprecated the old, very convenient, monthly calendar at a glance. "Which...

Conclusion The story of FedEx’s decline and Collierville’s transformation is a microcosm of a quiet crisis that has been unfolding across the United States for decades, though it has accelerated greatly in the past five years. What began with a change in leadership from founder Fred Smith to CEO Raj Subramaniam has culminated in a vote of no confidence from its pilots, an exodus of loyal customers, and a community in the heart of Tennessee that is now unrecognizable to its lifelong residents.

Rep. Seth Moulton, who invited the teen to the Capitol, said his story “captures what’s broken in our immigration system.”Marcelo Gomes da Silva, a Milford teen who was detained by federal agents last year, has been invited to attend this year’s State of the Union in Washington, D.C. as a guest.
