Train services in Iran were delayed by apparent cyberattacks on Friday, with hackers posting the phone number of the country's supreme leader as the number to call for information, state-affiliated news outlets reported. Trains were delayed or canceled as ticket offices, the national railway's website and cargo services were disrupted, with "unprecedented chaos at railway stations across the country," the state broadcaster IRIB reported. A notice on electronic boards at stations asked travelers to call a number which in fact belonged to the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, IRIB and the semi-official news agency Fars said.

Cui Shuhong, head of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said Wednesday that massive conservation efforts have allowed the population size of the pandas to reach more than 1,800, NBC and CNN reported.

"Large areas of natural ecosystems have been systematically and completely protected, and wildlife habitats have been effectively improved." The expert added that populations of some other endangered species, like Siberian...

Apparently the Democrats’ “most extensive voter fraud organization in history” Biden bragged about in October isn’t enough. Kamala Harris on Thursday announced a $25 million expansion voting campaign for the DNC’s “I Will Vote” campaign. “We are going to assemble the largest voter protection team we’ve ever had to ensure that all Americans can vote,” Kamala Harris said. ...... Snip...... Recall, in October, Joe Biden admitted the Democrat party has the most extensive voter fraud organization in history going back to the Obama Administration. “We have put together, and you guys did it for President Obama’s administration before this, the...

An astroturf group formed in 2017 to push for a so-called "universal background check" rules for gun sales has announced that it is ceasing operations as of today. For those looking to shift blame, the coronavirus pandemic has become a popular go-to, and it is no different for the misleadingly-named "Ohioans for Gun Safety" (the so-called "gun safety" group doesn't even contain one single mention of safe gun handling on their website). Organizers told reporters that the current climate Ohio made it just "too difficult." "Prior to the pandemic we were on-track to submit our citizen-initiated statute for common...

Just look at the issues the Democrats are pushing: defunding the police, which hurts mostly poor and working-class neighborhoods; critical race theory, which mostly interests woke white activists (and rich-and-guilty Dem donors) but which actually sends a message of inferiority to minority youths; gender ideology, which plays less well among the more traditional and more religious working-class minorities; environmental policies that produce higher gas prices and lower employment, while pushing food prices up; open borders that drive down wages for downscale workers; and so on. Donors and activists love this stuff. They live in neighborhoods that are mostly insulated from...

The San Francisco Gay Men's Choir is facing a wave of backlash after offering up what it described as ironic humor about fears surrounding children and the "gay agenda."The backlash came after the choir posted a video in which they sang about indoctrinating children into being more concerned about "fairness" and "justice.""You think that we’ll corrupt your kids, if our agenda goes unchecked," one of the members sings. "Funny, just this once, you’re correct."

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.( I Corinthians 14:26)The Church is an Assembly. That is what the word ‘Ecclesia’ actually means,’the ones who are called out to an Assembly’. Thus the Church meets together. The Purpose of those meetings is edification. We meet in order to be built up, and to participate in the building up of our brothers and sisters. Everything in this world is being employed to break down...

China stands ready to capitalize on Joe Biden's decision to end military operations in Afghanistan. A WION TV host has warned that the Taliban is standing by to "rollout out the red carpet" to Beijing with the last US troops set to leave the region by August 31... WION presenter Palki Sharma said the Taliban is on the lookout for allies "those who do not believe in democracy or basic freedoms of power-sharing."... Quoting the Taliban spokesperson she continued: "We have been to China many times and we good relations with them. "China is a friendly country that we welcome...

If you don’t like the explosion of violent crime, you’re a racist. That’s the message sent by a top aide to the San Francisco district attorney to a self-described “Democrat” who had said on Twitter that the jump in crime had made people afraid for their lives and dubious about the city’s future. The Democrat tweeted that “every single one of my friends right now is considering leaving” San Francisco because of the big increase in crime, adding: “My friends are scared for their children, and their husbands are scared for their wives.” Kate Chatfield, a senior director for San...

Ok, So we all are aware that the media is constantly barraging us with videos of heart broken latin American illegal aliens, who are crying their eyes out about being deported back to Mexico, or whatever latin country of origin they are citizens of, before invading the US by Crossing the border illegally, and living and working in the US, illegally. Boo hoo, they are all so sad. YouTube will ban, sensor, and deplatform anyone who posts videos depicting illegal immigration and illegal aliens in negative light...it's just a fact, try posting a video against illegal alien immigration, and watch...

Wearing antlers ain’t great but is completely reasonable compared to asserting that January 6th was worse than 9/11. Matthew Dowd, a political consultant, pundit and the kind of guy who loves to be on panels jumped on Joy Reid’s stupidfest to kvetch about the day. “And to me, though there was less loss of life on January 6th, January 6th was worse than 9/11 because it's continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means.” Steve Schmidt wormed his way onto MSNBC and announced, “The 1/6 attack for the future of the country is...

Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said the thought of unvaccinated individuals contracting and dying of the Chinese coronavirus keeps her “awake at night,” urging people to “get vaccinated.” “What keeps me awake at night? Knowing preliminary data from some U.S. states suggests 99.5% of #COVID19 deaths were in unvaccinated ppl. Unnecessary death, unneeded suffering from being unvaccinated,” she said, contending those deaths are “preventable.

For the Left, public education is religious education. This becomes blatantly apparent after a recent viral song from a gay men's choir proclaimed that they're "coming for your children."

As Townhall has been covering, the Biden administration this week announced they would literally be going "door-to-door" to encourage Americans to get vaccinated. Such comments came from President Joe Biden himself, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. The negative reaction was strong and swift, and includes members of Congress. On Friday, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and 31 other Republican colleagues sent a letter to Biden demanding answers. The letter mentions privacy concerns and communicates the importance of letting Americans make their own medical choices. "Your administration's decision to go door-to-door to coerce individuals to receive...
