Professional footballer (soccer player) Josh Cavallo has come out as gay, becoming the first current professional footballer in the world to do so. Writing on his Twitter account, the Australian footballer said it had been a "journey" to get to a point where he could speak openly about his sexuality but he was "proud" to make the announcement. "Today, I'm ready to speak about something personal that I'm finally comfortable to talk about in my life," wrote the Adelaide United player. "I am proud to publicly announce that I am gay. "It's been a journey to get to this point...

"I am a hunter -- and I think you should be hunted," a woman can be heard saying in a voicemail left for Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in September. "You will never be safe in Arizona again." Or there's the man who spit, "Die you bitch, die! Die you bitch, die!" repeatedly into the phone, in another of several dozen threatening and angry voicemails directed at the Democratic secretary of state and shared exclusively with CNN by her office. Officials and aides in secretary of state offices in Arizona and other states targeted by former President Donald Trump...

Javaid Rehman, the UN independent investigator on human rights in Iran, said Monday that more than 250 Iranians were executed in 2020, including nine women and four child offenders. More than 230 executions have been carried out this year already. Rehman said that Iran was carrying out state-sponsored executions “at an alarming rate,” and “the absence of official statistics and lack of transparency around executions means that this practice escapes scrutiny, resulting in serious abuses [and] preventing accountability.” ... Iran was the top executioner in the Middle East last year, accounting for more than half the region’s 493 executions, followed...

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Investigators plan to discuss their initial findings Wednesday in the fatal movie-set shooting in which Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun, killing a cinematographer and wounding the director.*** The news conference by Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza and District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies promises the first detailed public comments by investigators about the killing of 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal at a New Mexico ranch. ***Carmack-Altwies told The Associated Press prior to the news conference that the investigation is still in its early stages — far from any decisions about whether or not to...

DENVER (AP) — The United States has issued its first passport with an “X” gender designation — a milestone in the recognition of the rights of people who don’t identify as male or female — and expects to be able to offer the option more broadly next year, the State Department said Wednesday.

VIDEOAs Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points says, this is a media story (and scandal) about why the mainstream media such as the Washington Post won't investigate the true role of Ray Epps on January 5 and 6 at the Capitol. Is the MSM scared that if they do their jobs and investigate Epps that their Deep State sources will refuse to leak to them in the future

What a wonderful irony that God decided to give the Big Government Socialists the spectacle of the Atlanta Braves playing the Houston Astros in the World Series. God must be laughing with deeply felt happiness at the Georgia-Texas contest – and the failure of wokeism to stop it. When the Braves and the Astros meet tonight in the first game of the World Series, we will have vivid proof that God has a sense of humor. Remember when the woke left decided to punish all of Georgia for passing election reform? They forced Major League Baseball to move the All-Star...

Shipping companies at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will soon be fined if their containers stay in marine terminals for too long, officials announced on Monday. Officials at San Pedro Bay Ports said in a statement that the fines are being imposed in an effort to “improve cargo movement amid congestion and record volume.” Starting on Nov. 1, the ports will charge shipping companies that fall into one of two categories: containers scheduled to move by truck and containers moving by rail.

Democrats used to be the party of working people. Now, they sneer at people who work hard. Democrats pushing to pass the Build Back Better bill want a single parent with two kids to be able to take home well over $31,000 in cash and noncash federal benefits a year, tax-free, without having to work. The handouts are even higher in states that offer generous benefits. So why get a job? Nonworking adults are already eligible for food stamps, housing vouchers and health care. Now, Democrats want to send them monthly checks if they have kids -- up to $300...

U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., drew a close comparison between Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin and those who participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Kaine, who was Hillary Clinton's running mate in the 2016 presidential election, made the remarks Tuesday at a campaign rally for Youngkin's opponent, Democrat Terry McAuliffe. "They may not be wearing Camp Auschwitz T-shirts. They may not be brandishing flags and fence posts and battering 150 police officers. But they are repeating the same big lie about election integrity, the kind of thing that Glenn Youngkin talks about and fraud and the...

Biden's amply demonstrated......he's little more than a slumlord......one who profits from other people's misery. He lives in the lap of luxury in the WH, enjoying vacations at his posh beach house, a SS detail to protect him, hobnobbing w/ his like-minded political pals and his crime family. He's forever colluding on how to extract more money from struggling overburdened residents of his increasingly unlivable empire. Biden’s approval ratings and polling on core issues have nosedived.

The Left’s policy prescriptions are the black mirror in which their own personality is reflected and amplified. If there is one lesson I learned working in the startup industry, it’s that people tend to assume everyone else will behave the way they behave. This was a revealing education in human behavior. Someone who accuses everyone of cheating is likely to be a cheat. Someone who tends to be trusting is likely to be trustworthy. Unfortunately, of course, trusting types don’t always make the best businessmen: This quirk of human nature, the tendency to see everyone else through one’s own reflection,...

The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee met yesterday (10/26/21) to discuss recommending an Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer vaccine against Covid-19 in children ages 5 to 11. The panel voted 17-0 in favor.

(Chiabella James/Warner Bros) ============================================================================ Dune, the epic series of sci-fi books by Frank Herbert, now turned into a movie of the same name, is set in the far future on the desert planet of Arrakis. Herbert outlined a richly detailed world that, at first glance, seems so real we could imagine ourselves within it. However, if such a world did exist, what would it actually be like? We are scientists with specific expertise in climate modelling, so we simulated the climate of Arrakis to find out. We wanted to know if the physics and environment of such a world would...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) was caught maskless at a Washington, D.C. cocktail bar Friday night, just hours before pulling out of Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's door-knocking campaign scheduled for the following morning, in her latest violation of COVID-19 policies. Video obtained by The Washington Free Beacon shows Whitmer maskless in the standing-room-only section of the crowded bar at the Hotel Washington. A hotel employee told the news outlet that bar guests must wear face coverings when not actively eating or drinking, neither of which Whitmer was doing. Several people congregating near her, however, were wearing masks. The...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) responded to a question on how Democrats are addressing concerns about the economy and inflation by stating he wishes reporting would mention that the reconciliation bill is paid for. During a discussion on the spending bills, co-host John Berman asked, “How are Democrats addressing what are growing concerns among the American people, A. about the economy, but B. about inflation and prices, just getting out of this pandemic?”

A Catholic American president will travel to Rome this Friday to meet with Pope Francis. There is a very profound and obvious issue they could discuss: Is it OK for a politician of any religious faith, or even none at all, to violate the natural law and support the deliberate killing of unborn babies? resident Joe Biden unambiguously supports legalized abortion and forcing taxpayers to pay for it. That puts him at odds not just with his church but with the founding principle of his country. "We hold these truths to be self-evident," says the Declaration of Independence, "that all...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the U.S. is “relying upon the Taliban to help us prevent an attack by ISIS on the United States.” Because of the inability to conduct legitimate over-the-horizon counterterrorism, and “We’re relying on a terrorist organization to police two terrorist groups.”
