WASHINGTON (AP) — The Earth’s warming and resulting natural disasters are creating a more dangerous world of desperate leaders and peoples, the Biden administration said Thursday in the federal government’s starkest assessments yet of security and migration challenges facing the United States as the climate worsens. The Defense Department for years has called climate change a threat to U.S. national security. But Thursday’s reports by the departments of Defense and Homeland Security, National Security Council and Director of National Intelligence provide one of the government’s deepest looks yet at the vast rippling effects on the world’s stability and resulting heightened...

The fallout of Texas’ new six-week abortion ban and bounty-hunter system has been swift since the law’s implementation on Sept. 1. At least one doctor publicly admitted to providing abortions after the gestational ban, prompting multiple civil lawsuits. But abortion in Texas remains a fraught prospect, and new data obtained by Jezebel shows a dramatic spike in pregnant people fleeing to surrounding states for abortion care. In September, Planned Parenthood health centers surrounding Texas recorded a 1,082 percent increase in patients with Texas zip codes, compared to the same month in 2020 and 2019, according to data from 29 Planned...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) told reporters Thursday that he does not expect Democrats to reach an agreement on the broad details of their multi-trillion-dollar reconciliation bill by Friday, despite hopes from leaders that a deal was in sight. After Democrats gathered at a Tuesday lunch to discuss their long-delayed reconciliation bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) reported that there was “universal agreement” that a compromise must be reached by the end of the week as divisions in the party continue to hold up the legislative process. Democrats are now months off schedule in passing their reconciliation bill, as...

Michael Nazir-Ali, the retired Anglican Bishop of Rochester, England, and once close to being tapped as the Archbishop of Canterbury, was received into the Catholic Church on the Feast of St. Michael (September 29). Needless to say, many Catholics were excited by the news.However, some Catholics were upset by Nazir-Ali’s conversion, while others were perplexed.Who’d be upset?

The Department of Homeland Security has been flying underage illegal immigrants into NYC at night. DHS has commented that NYC is not the only city that has been receiving the immigrants. Other cities, including LA, Chicago, Baltimore, DC, Boston, and other Progressive cities have received the nightly deliveries. DHS Director Mayorkas stated the flights were being made to help eliminate the supply chain delays. These children were ordered months ago but were not able to be delivered due to the supply chain disruptions due to truck and bus shortages. Mayorkas received intense pressure from sex slave operators, snuff film producers,...

The University of Oxford found evidence that pro-China social media accounts are pushing a new thread of propaganda related to the origins of the pandemicIn mid-September, Marcel Schliebs, a disinformation researcher at the University of Oxford who had been tracking messaging that Chinese diplomats and state media spread on Twitter for 18 months, spotted the emergence of a surprising coronavirus origin theory. Zha Liyou, the Chinese consul general in Kolkata, India, tweeted an unfounded claim that Covid-19 could have been imported to China from the United States through a batch of Maine lobsters shipped to a seafood market in Wuhan...

The House of Representatives on Thursday voted to hold former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the January 6 Committee. President Trump urged his supporters to ignore the subpoenas to appear before the Democrat, and Liz Cheney’s, struggle session.

On Thursday the House voted 229-202 with 9 Republican lawmakers voting with the Democrats in favor of the resolution. The referral will be sent to the US...

Canada’s not too bright Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have inadvertently let the cat out of the bag on Western ‘leaders’ forcing the COVID-19 vaxx passport on their masses. Is the rise of the COVID Passport a diversion from increasing reports on the dangerous side effects of the experimental vaccines? Casually dressed, Trudeau was all smiles and surrounded by reporters today when he unveiled Canada’s International Proof-Of-Vaccination for COVID-19.

Twitter is publicly sharing research findings today that show that the platform's algorithms amplify tweets from right-wing politicians and content from right-leaning news outlets more than people and content from the political left. The research did not identify whether or not the algorithms that run Twitter's Home feed are actually biased toward conservative political content, because the conclusions only show bias in amplification, not what caused it. Rumman Chowdhury, the head of Twitter's machine learning, ethics, transparency and accountability team, called it "the what, not the why" in an interview with Protocol. "We can see that it is happening. We...

AUSTIN, Texas — In a dive into new political and legal water, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has initiated the first-ever border security operations in which thousands of National Guard troops — newly imbued with civilian arrest authority and given 40 hours of traditional police training in the use of deadly force — have started handcuffing illegally entering migrants on state trespassing charges.

Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor who fatally shot an unarmed woman after she called 911 to report a possible rape behind her home was sentenced Thursday to 57 months (just under five years) on a lesser charge after his murder conviction was overturned. The sentence announced by Judge Kathryn Quaintance was the maximum allowed under the state's sentencing guidelines, which call for a range of 41 to 57 months. Noor had sought the shortest possible term. In Minnesota, defendants with good behavior typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison, and the rest on supervised release. He is likely...
