The North Dakota Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously found the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors constitutional, upholding a lower court’s ruling from last year. The 2023 law makes it a crime to prescribe puberty blockers and other treatments to adolescents. The high court’s reasoning for its decision mirrored that of South Central Judicial District Judge Jackson Lofgren, who in October 2025 rejected North Dakota pediatric endocrinologist Luis Casas’s claims that the law forces him to withhold necessary medical care from his patients.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — President Donald Trump returned to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday at a tumultuous moment for the world — and for his presidency — and made the case that he's shown fortitude while other leaders have equivocated. Watch in our video player above. The president started his address ticking off progress — including adding private sector jobs, stemming illegal migration and curbing crime before turning to a fulsome defense of his decision to start a war with Iran.

The majority of today's immigrants, particularly the illegals, appear to loathe everything about the United States except its wealth. Far too many of them are effectively saying, “We detest capitalism, your system of government, your Christian faith, Judeo-Christian values, and your culture, all of which we are zealously trying to change. But do continue to pay us and put us up so that we can live comfortably without needing to work.” Also, “We much prefer the brutality, stonings, misogyny, pedophilia, arranged marriages, and gang rape of young women (and perhaps occasionally a goat or two) to what we have found...

Maryland’s chief medical examiner has officially ruled that a Black man found hanging from a tree in Prince George’s County on Sunday morning died by suicide. The ruling came Monday, just one day after the body was discovered high in a tree in front of an industrial business on the 9300 block of D’Arcy Road in unincorporated Upper Marlboro, WTOP News reported. Police and fire crews arrived around 7:55 a.m. Sunday. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Because of the height of the body and the need to wait for the medical examiner, many drivers passing by saw...

This just in: the House Oversight Project has unveiled never-before-seen photos of Joe Biden’s classified documents, which were found stored at the Penn Biden Center and his home in Wilmington. For years, the government fought to keep these photos hidden away. But now, they have finally been released to the public. See all of the photos right here for yourself: MANY PICS AT LINK............... As you may notice from those images, the way that the FBI handled the classified docs at Biden’s home is extremely different than how they handled the docs during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. For reference, here’s...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump made use of the newly installed White House helipad for the first time on Monday after a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the South Lawn.

Greenland, the Arctic, and the Case for Outsourcing by John F. Di Leo Why do we use investment advisors? Why do people who are perfectly competent in their own specialties – as doctors or dentists, architects or Customs brokers, chefs or entrepreneurs – still hire someone else to manage their retirement funds and other investments? Because no matter how talented and intelligent we may be in our own professions, most of us are amateurs at the complicated world of stocks, bonds, commodities, and other investment vehicles. And our retirement funds and other investments are too important to us to entrust...

America has become a giant money pot that half the world is looting for all sorts of exciting things. Like a coup in Haiti. Why not? We could use a break from all the stories of Somalis financing their political careers in Somalia using health care fraud. Let’s try something more exciting. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida today announced the successful transport of 18 defendants from Haiti to Miami to face newly unsealed federal charges related to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse on July 7, 2021. The special operation involved members of the Federal...

Democrats are so desperate to see President Trump out of office that a majority would be happy to see him overthrown in a military coup or die in his sleep, a jaw-dropping new poll has found. Nearly six in 10 (59%) of Democratic respondents said they would feel “very positive” or “somewhat positive” if they learned a junta had removed Trump and seized control of the American government, while 55% said they would feel the same if the president passed away peacefully, according to the survey from the Center for Strategic Politics. An even higher percentage said they would be...

The Lindsay Clancy holdout juror’s attorney on Tuesday hit back at a motion filed by the killer mom’s defense team, branding it a “full-frontal attack on the US Constitution.” Edward Paltzik, who represents Michael Desronvil, spoke after Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, called for a judge to investigate the juror’s phone records and pretrial questionnaire answers. Paltzik branded Monday’s move a “Looney Tunes motion” by “Kevin ‘Shooter McGavin’ Reddington” on his “courageous” client in a statement on X. “If the new normal is that jurors are going to face brutal reprisals for disagreeing with a defense attorney, you can kiss the...

(The Center Square) - Medicare Part D sponsors made $587.7 million in ineligible payments to pharmacies for five drugs carrying obsolete prescription-only labeling more than a year after the corresponding brand-name drugs switched to over-the-counter status, a federal watchdog found. The money won't be recovered, because the payments complied with Medicare guidance in place at the time, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General, which made the finding in an audit covering calendar years 2021 through 2023. Medicare Part D, the federal prescription drug benefit, is delivered through private "sponsors," including Medicare Advantage...
