The Trump administration plans to end subscriptions to The Washington Post and the New York Times held by federal agencies, the latest sign of presidential displeasure with news coverage he deems unfair. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told the Wall Street Journal that the White House would instruct agencies not to renew their subscriptions to the papers when they come up. She characterized the decision as a cost-saving measure, telling the Journal that “hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars will be saved” by the cancellations. Trump has made no secret of his dislike for both newspapers, dubbing the Times...

US Vice-President Mike Pence has criticised the US National Basketball Association (NBA) in a speech attacking Chinese diplomatic and trade policies. Mr Pence accused both the NBA and the sports equipment firm Nike of "kowtowing" to Beijing and "muzzling" criticism of China. It comes in the wake of a diplomatic row over an NBA team manager's support for anti-Beijing protests in Hong Kong. He also said Chinese policy was growing "more aggressive and destabilising". In the speech in Washington DC, the vice-president said: "In siding with the Chinese Communist Party and silencing free speech, the NBA is acting like a...

Video footage has emerged of a circus bear attacking a trainer Olonets town, in the western Karelia region of Russia. The 600lb bear was prodded with an electric shock device to stop the attack. The severity of the trainers injuries were not known.

(CNN)Attorney General William Barr's probe into the intelligence and origins of the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation is now a criminal investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter. The so-called investigation of the investigators is led by John Durham, a Connecticut-based federal prosecutor, who so far has conducted some interviews but also has run into some obstacles from witnesses who have declined voluntary interviews, CNN reported last week. The move to make it a criminal inquiry was always anticipated, and it allows Durham to use subpoenas to compel testimony and comes as President Donald Trump faces an onslaught of negative...

I appreciate the GOP for at least putting on a show yesterday at Adam Schiff's private party. However, there is a better way to tackle this... hold hearings of your own. Adam Schiff may be the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee... but doesn't the GOP have the Senate and a Judiciary Committee of theirr own? If the GOP truly wants to win (which is often in doubt) they should convene the Senate Judiciary Committee and call each witness to testify after Adam Schiff is done with them. Let their questioning and testimony be done in public. Don't like secret...

Lord Jesus Christ, we boldly and unashamedly pray in Your name for the protection of President Trump and the overthrow and canceling of every curse spoken against him. Your prayers are needed in a spiritual battle raging nationally. The Washington Examiner reported that tomorrow, October 25, 2019, will be a day of casting spells on the Trump Administration: “A week before Halloween, opponents of President Trump will gather in the thousands to cast a spell on the administration to prevent the administration from harming the country. Participants in the ritual, which has been performed regularly since Trump’s inauguration, are taking...

House Democrats say there is ample evidence to move forward in the impeachment inquiry without asking for testimony from the whistleblower, The Washington Post reported. Several House Democrats said Thursday that obtaining testimony from the whistleblower, whose report started the impeachment inquiry, has become less of a priority as senior Trump administration officials have supplied enough information on Trump’s controversial interactions with Ukraine, according to the newspaper. “I think it’s quite clear we have a surfeit of evidence that corroborates in full every aspect of what happened and the policy they were pursuing,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who sits on...

LGBT promoter Father James Martin has questioned whether the biblical condemnation of homosexual behavior may be mistaken, referencing the example of slavery. Where the Bible mentions [same-sex sexual] behavior at all, it clearly condemns it. I freely grant that. The issue is precisely whether the biblical judgment is correct. The Bible sanctioned slavery as well and nowhere attacked it as unjust.

The US is reportedly planning to deploy tanks and other heavy military hardware to protect oil fields in eastern Syria, in a reversal of Donald Trump’s earlier order to withdraw all troops from the country. The most likely destination for US armoured units is a Conoco gas plant near the city of Deir Ezzor, the site of a February 2018 clash between US special forces and Syrian regime-backed militias fighting with Russian mercenaries. Fox News reported such a deployment was “likely” and that the tanks would come from units already in the Middle East. CNN said it would happen relatively...

Former NBA player Charles Barkley said that Vice President Mike Pence “needs to shut the hell up” in response to Pence’s comments blasting the NBA for being accommodating China. “First of all, Vice President Pence needs to shut the hell up,” Barkley said during an NBA pregame on TNT. “All American companies are doing business in China.” The former NBA player added that he thought it was “unfair” that politicians were attempting “to make the NBA and our players look bad” after President Trump has started a trade war against China. “But I don’t understand why these holier than thou...

In this case, high-ranking FBI officials orchestrated an ambush-interview of the new president's National Security Advisor, not for the purpose of discovering any evidence of criminal activity--they already had tapes of all the relevant conversations about which they questioned Mr. Flynn--but for the purpose of trapping him into making statements they could allege as false. This is no paranoid "conspiracy" delusion, as the government implies. It is well documented by the evidence already made public, which was long known to the government -- yet withheld from the defense--until after Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty and in clear violation of Brady v....

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 24 (C-Fam) The State Department’s top official for UN affairs will retire next month after five decades of public service, beginning as a combat-decorated Marine, and including U.S. ambassador to the UN in Geneva. His departure comes after an internal campaign against him by career staffers, propelled by the left-wing media, Democrats in Congress, and the State Department’s inspector general. The campaign against assistant secretary of state Kevin Moley, and his senior advisor, Mari Stull, began shortly after he was called out of retirement to assume his responsibilities in April 2018. Emblematic of the poor state of...

More than three-quarters of species on Earth died out. But life came back, and land mammals began to expand from being small creatures into the wide array of forms we see today—including us. So the new find taps into "the origin of the modern world," said Tyler Lyson, an author of a paper reporting the fossil finds Thursday in the journal Science. The fossils were recovered from an area of steep bluffs covering about 10 square miles (17 square kilometers) near Colorado Springs, starting three years ago. Scientists have previously found little evidence about what happened in the aftermath of...

It started with too many drinks and an argument over who should clean the house. Zack got angry and landed a punch. His boyfriend grabbed a table leg and hit him in the chest. It ended with the cops at their University City apartment and Zack in handcuffs with one big worry. As a transgender man, he was frightened about being put in a female jail and what the guards might do to him. “I didn’t want to be outed,” he later said. Zack, who is 34, transitioned in his mid-20s to identify as a man. Now in state prison,...
