President Joe Biden is now expressing support for a ceasefire between the militant group Hamas and Israel. It comes just a day after the United States voted against a UN statement calling for a ceasefire. Biden also doubled down on his “firm support for Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks.” That’s a position the administration has held since fighting began on May 10. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, “The Iranians have made clear they have genocidal intent.” He added, “They want to wipe Israel off the face of the planet, and they use proxy forces—people...

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — Primary Election Day is off to a rocky start in Luzerne County. What election officials are calling a "typo" is making Republican voters uneasy. Some voting locations are reporting that when Republicans go up to the machine to vote, an introduction screen says "Official Democratic Ballot."

Six months after the November 3, 2020 election, Fulton County has failed to produce complete chain of custody documents for 18,901 vote-by-mail absentee ballots deposited by voters into drop boxes. The Fulton County missing documentation is a little more than five percent of the estimated 333,000 vote-by-mail absentee ballots cast in the November 3, 2020 general election for which chain of custody documentation is still missing. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has refused to collect, count, and verify the chain of custody documentation associated with an estimated 600,000 absentee vote by mail ballots deposited in drop boxes in the...

n a victory for same-sex couples, the State Department on Tuesday said it would grant U.S. citizenship to babies born abroad to married couples with at least one American parent — no matter which parent was biologically related to the child. The new policy effectively guarantees that American and binational couples who use assisted reproductive technology to give birth overseas — such as surrogates or sperm donations — can pass along citizenship to their children...... Previously, the State Department, based on an interpretation of 1950s immigration law, required a child born abroad to have a biological connection to an American...

See, for example, the video below of an Al-Arabiya journalist expressing shock in 2009 that Hamas fired a Grad rocket at Israel from under the building in which she was located. “They launched from under the office,” she exclaims.

WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday called for a U.S. diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, criticizing the Chinese regime for human rights abuses and saying global leaders who attend would lose their moral authority.

Manu Raju @mkraju: McConnell rejects calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. "We're already seeing some push the false narrative that this conflict is a tragic dispute between two legitimate combatants, where both sides share blame that is roughly equal. What nonsense," per @alizaslav. 4:22 PM · May 17, 2021

A Florida ex-cop was convicted Tuesday of planting drugs at three different traffic stops. Zachary Wester, 28, was found guilty on 19 of 67 counts, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. He had been charged with planting drugs at 12 different stops but was only convicted in connection to three.

(h/t Kalamata)Prof. Luc Montagnier said that epidemiologists know but are “silent” about the phenomenon, known as “Antibody-Dependent Enhancement” (ADE).While it is understood that viruses mutate, causing variants, French Virologist and Nobel Prize Winner Luc Montagnier contends that “it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”The 2008 Nobel Laureate made the explosive comments as part of a larger interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media earlier this month. The clip was exclusively translated for RAIR Foundation USA, and is quite damning for the agenda-driven left-wing establishment.As reported at RAIR in April of last year, Prof. Montagnier presented a powerful case...

As he seriously considers launching a Republican gubernatorial primary challenge against former senator and current first-term Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, former Rep. Jim Renacci says that if you look at the state's statistics, DeWine is "failing." Renacci, who spent eight years as a congressman representing a northeast Ohio district, highlights that "I’ve somewhat been campaigning to change Ohio for two years and the only thing that I really haven’t done is announce, so the announcement will come at the proper time."

Divers hunting for lost artwork from the legendary Amber Room looted by the Nazis are to begin searching a WWII shipwreck at the bottom of the Baltic Sea after photos revealed unidentified paintings and possible artefacts. The 12-man team from the Baltictech diving group will spend 10 days off the coast of Gdansk, Poland, at the end of May at the site where the German steamer Karlsruhe was sank by a Royal Navy submarine in 1945. Tomasz Stachura from Baltictech told MailOnline that initial observations of the wreck had revealed several 'non-military crates' as well as what appears to be...

Podcast giant Joe Rogan has warned that the logical conclusion of ‘woke’ cancel culture is that all straight white men will be forbidden from talking or even leaving their own houses. “You can never be woke enough, that’s the problem,” Rogan stated in a recent conversation with stand-up comedian Joe List about the effect cancel culture is having on comedy. “It keeps going. It keeps going further and further and further down the line, and if you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands, it’ll eventually get to straight white men are not...

The Pentagon intends to screen social media content for extremist material in a pilot program said to be part of the Biden administration’s crackdown on domestic extremism, The Intercept reports. According to internal Defense Department documents reviewed by the publication, as well as a source with direct knowledge of the plan, the program will “continuously” monitor military personnel for “concerning behaviors.” In order to get around First Amendment restrictions on monitoring by the government, the program will reportedly rely on a private surveillance company. A senior Pentagon official said the program will use keywords to help find potential extremists, but...

Many Americans felt relief and joy at the announcement last week that fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks at many indoor and outdoor locations. But don't be surprised if those good feelings come tinged with stress or worry: Mental health experts said in a HealthDay Now interview that the COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting mark on people's psyches, and folks will be struggling with lingering worry for some time to come. "There's actually such a thing as post-COVID-19 stress disorder, which is along the lines of PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder]," said Sherry Amatenstein, a psychotherapist based...

I have a mentor that I talk to regularly that tells me to be my unique self no matter what others think. I always tell people that I’m a limited edition weirdo. The reason for that… you’ll never find another like me! I’ve always felt why be normal when you aren’t passionate about the things that “normal” folks are. YouGov asked folks if they identify as being normal or weird and the findings were interesting. Folks were two times more likely to say they were not normals than normal. Which brings up the question… what is normal? In college, I...
