The crowd will be back at Ft. Marcy Park in Santa Fe for the 97th annual Burning of Zozobra. Ray Sandoval, Zozobra event chairman with the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, said the Sept. 3 event will be back to normal this year. In 2020, the Burning of Zozbra was done for a virtual audience.

News AnalysisEditor’s Note: Some of the accounts in this article contain graphic and disturbing details of torture and other forms of degrading treatment.Founded in July 1921, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has wreaked death and destruction on the Chinese populace for a century.Armed with the Marxist ideology of “struggle” as its guiding principle, the CCP has launched scores of movements targeting a long list of enemy groups: spies, landlords, intellectuals, disloyal officials, pro-democracy students, religious believers, and ethnic minorities.With each campaign, the Party’s purported goal has been to create a “communist heaven on earth.” But time and again, the results...

Most Asian stocks gained on Monday, extending the rally that took global equities to a record high after a U.S. jobs report signalled the economic recovery remained intact but didn't yet warrant any immediate withdrawal of Federal Reserve stimulus. Japanese markets, however, bucked the trend, with the Nikkei falling 0.5per cent following a surge in COVID-19 infections in Tokyo, just weeks before the city hosts the Olympics. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.3per cent, led by a 1per cent gain in Taiwan. Chinese blue chips added 0.1per cent.

White flags could be seen flying outside homes and poverty relief organisations across Malaysia this past week as citizens cried out for food and other assistance amid the country's latest Covid-19 lockdown. The surreal scenes, reminiscent of similar protests that swept the South American nations of Guatemala and El Salvador last year, emerged from a grass-roots social media campaign centred on the #benderaputih (white flag) hashtag that began trending on Monday. Community organisers told This Week in Asia the campaign was the clearest sign yet of the economic despair that hundreds of thousands of Malaysia's lower-income families have experienced amid...

Happy Fourth of July everyone. Been a long time since I have been on here - I hope I am a bit wiser and kinder today (but who knows). Strange times we are in with people being unpersoned for not admiring Biden's new clothes - but it is the Fourth, and they can't take that away from us!

Well folks, when it comes to politics, during the last administration we poked the bear from on stage and in some videos, and now it’s time to have a little fun with the other side. Enjoy!

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Authorities said Thursday they have arrested four more suspects in the weekend shootings in the northern Mexico border city of Reynosa that killed 19 people, 15 of whom appeared to be innocent bystanders. Another suspect was detained earlier after being wounded during the apparently random gun attacks Saturday. Prosecutors in the border state of Tamaulipas said the latest arrests came during raids that also freed 18 kidnap victims, four of whom are believed to be U.S. citizens. In one raid on a house east of Reynosa, police found 10 kidnap victims, two of them Americans. One...

Recent legal battles over churches' religious liberties in California and other states raise serious questions about the freedom to worship in America. So when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep government free from religion? Or religion free from government? These days, the phrase "wall of separation between church and state" has come to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state.Fear of an All-Powerful State Church...

New York City’s notoriously incompetent election officials have not finished tabulating the votes in the June 22 Democratic primary, with its novel ranked-choice-voting system. But the first choices of voters - minus some 124,000 absentees - nevertheless reveal some important things about the differences between different segments of the Democratic coalition in America’s largest city. These initial results were a clear repudiation of the term-limited left-wing Mayor Bill de Blasio. Coming in first was Brooklyn borough president and former NYPD cop Eric Adams with 31.7 percent, well ahead of top de Blasio aide Maya Wiley, with 22.2 percent. Third was...

This is the full reading of the original rough draft version of the United States Declaration of Independence. It is read directly from the transcript, without the filter of historians trying to control the narrative in one direction or the other.

1. Gun rights are winning. More and more Americans of all Races are standing up for the 2nd. 2. The Left is losing on Election Integreaty, and they know it. If we can win PA,WI, and MI, those states will follow. 3. Biden is NOT a popular President. The ABC poll of ADULTS has him at 50%. 4. Communist Race Theory has sparked a rebellion all over America. Have faith! The fight is on! We will save our country yet! The LORD YRSHUA still watches over America!

The Canadian-based company behind the since-scrapped Keystone XL crude oil pipeline is seeking $15 billion in damages from the US. TC Energy on Friday filed a notice of intent with the State Department, claiming they suffered the massive loss “as a result of the U.S. Government’s breach of its NAFTA obligations.” President Joe Biden cancelled the pipeline’s border crossing permit in January due to environmental concerns — and last month TC Energy pulled the plug on the project after Canadian officials failed to convince the president to reverse his decision. The partially-constructed pipeline would have transported crude from western Canada...

SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) - Demolition specialists finished boring holes and began laying explosives in them Sunday as they prepared to bring down the precarious but still-standing portion of a collapsed South Florida condo building, a top Miami-Dade fire official said. The work has suspended the search-and-rescue mission, but officials said it should eventually open up new areas for rescue teams to explore. Rescuers will await the “all-clear” after the demolition and then immediately dive back into the task of trying to locate any survivors buried under the rubble, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said. Officials had previously said that...
