"When we liberate Taiwan, if Japan dares intervene by force, even if it only sends one soldier, one plane or one ship, we will not only return fire, but also start a full-scale war against Japan," the commentary says. "First, we will use nuclear bombs. We will continue to use nuclear bombs until Japan offers its second unconditional surrender," it adds. "We want to strike Japan's capacity to endure war. As soon as Japan recognizes that it cannot afford to pay the price of war, it will not dare send troops to the Taiwan Strait," the narrator continues. ... singling...

Chambers told FOX 2 she tracked the stolen vehicle across the Greater Detroit area for two days before she moved to confront the suspect herself. According to the video she posted online, the tracking system showed the car parked outside of a barbershop. The video shows her arriving at the salon and asking the unnamed suspect: 'Excuse me, you got that Benz out there?' He answers 'yeah,' to which she replies: 'You stole my s**t' before grabbing onto his dreadlocks in an attempt to pull him out of the shop. The suspect, 19, was not arrested at the barbershop.

A Black staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) has sued her employer, saying her supervisor made a comment about lynching to her and that reporting the problem resulted in race-based retaliation against her. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Patrice Campbell, who serves as a constituent services representative, said her supervisor Karyn Davidman “created an intolerable hostile work environment” against Campbell because of her race. According to Campbell’s lawsuit, at the beginning of March, Davidman was telling a story about constituents using lanyards to keep face masks around their necks and...

Team USA will have to replace another player on the men’s basketball team after five-time NBA All-Star Kevin Love withdrew from the U.S. Olympic team on Friday, citing his "performance" level, according to multiple reports. Love’s agent, Jeff Schwartz, confirmed the news to ESPN Friday morning after the Cleveland Cavaliers star forward had already spent days with the team preparing in Las Vegas.

"but you need to be at absolute peak performance to compete at the Olympic level and I am just not there...

All 18 people aboard an aging Russian passenger plane miraculously survived with only cuts and bruises after the aircraft was forced to make a hard landing and overturned in Siberia on Friday, officials said. Rescuers who rushed to the area where contact was lost eventually located the survivors in a wooded section near the badly damaged plane, which was found upside down Russian aviation safety standards have improved in recent years, but accidents, especially involving old planes in far-flung regions, are not uncommon.

In this episode of The John-Henry Westen Show, I speak with Dr. Francis Christian, a former surgeon and clinical professor at the University of Saskatchewan. We discuss what led the university to fire him from positions he himself started, as well as the growing “dystopian tyranny” by world governments, the media and tech companies, and Big Pharma. Dr. Christian was fired by the Saskatchewan Health Authority after he expressed medical concerns over vaccinating children and in favor of informed consent for parents. In our conversation, he points out how he’s anything but “an anti-vaccine physician,” but was “canceled” regardless. He...

WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Texas on Friday declared illegal the federal program that has allowed nearly 800,000 young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children avoid deportation and remain in the country. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas, said the Obama administration failed to follow federal administrative rules in launching the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012. But he put the effect of most of his ruling on hold while the case is appealed.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election, undercutting former President Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state’s most populous county.

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Joe Martinez has tested positive for COVID-19, just days after fellow commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz also tested positive for the virus. In a Wednesday news release, county officials said Martinez, who had received the COVID-19 vaccine, began experiencing flu-like symptoms earlier this week and was in isolation...

The fatal shooting meant that the city had reached 300 killings more quickly in a single year than any since at least the 1970s. And it kept Philadelphia on pace to top not only last year’s 499 homicides, but also its all-time record of 500 slayings in a year, set in 1990. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said in a statement that “the brazenness with which these assaults are carried out is appalling. The lack of regard for human life is affecting innocent bystanders and our children are being caught in the crossfire.”

Comedian Gabriel Iglesias has been forced to cancel an upcoming show after testing positive for COVID-19 — despite being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. He announced the news via social media with a video titled, “Announcement I didn’t want to make on my bday.” “Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I made sure that I got tested by two different types of tests and they both came back positive,” the comic shared Thursday on his 45th birthday.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will throw the opening pitch Sunday for a game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres. The announcement came Friday afternoon ahead of the DC team’s “William & Mary Day” that honors the press secretary’s Virginia alma mater. “On Sunday, July 18 against the San Diego Padres, the Nationals will host William & Mary Day,” the team said in a press release. “Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, a graduate of William & Mary.“ Press secretaries rarely receive the honor of throwing opening pitches, which...

A papal decree published by the Vatican on Friday bans the celebration of the Latin Mass in parish churches, where most Catholics worship, and says that local bishops who permit the practice in their dioceses must regulate the locations and times where the celebrations take place. Newly ordained priests who want to celebrate the old Mass will need the permission of their bishops and the Vatican.

I decided to start this article “backward,” that is, with a conclusion, which is this: Former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is irrelevant. So, then, why write this article? Because smug Mr. Smith dumped all over his then-network, abruptly walked out and left for “greener” (left-wing) pastures, and has only seen his ratings continue to swirl down the liberal toilet. Newsworthy? Don’t care. Stick the knife in and twist it? Hell, yeah. Oh, I almost forgot. Also, because, according to reports, Smith has been described as not only “a very difficult person to work for” — his “temper tantrums” have...

It's time for The Jesse Kelly Show!Jesse's show is now on over 200 radio stations across the nation, replacing Buck Sexton. Yes, we deeply miss Rush, but if you give Jesse a listen, you'll find him to be a very intelligent, refreshing, naturally funny truth teller.Jesse is a former Marine, husband and father of two young boys who lives in the Houston area. He's a self-deprecating historyphile with an infectious laugh. His time slot is later in the day, when many are getting off work and doing dinner, and if you can't listen live, his "leftover" podcasts are better than...

Things are not going well for the organizers of the Tokyo Olympics, and the situation continues to grow more complicated by the minute.First and foremost, there appear to be some very valid concerns that the games will be taking place amid a rise in COVID cases in Japan and despite warnings from local and global health officials on that subject. There will already be no spectators in place during the international gathering, but now there will be no hugging or shaking hands among the athletes also. Not that it affects me, I won’t be going (or watching). ...BMX freestyle rider...
