U.S. journalist Danny Fenster was sentenced by a court in Myanmar on Friday to 11 years in prison with hard labor after he was found guilty on several charges, including spreading false information. The Biden administration has pressed Myanmar's ruling military junta for Fenster's release, and has described the journalist's arrest as "profoundly unjust." Fenster, the managing editor of the online magazine Frontier Myanmar, was found guilty of incitement for allegedly spreading false or inflammatory information, contacting illegal organizations and violating visa regulations, and more, according to The Associated Press, citing his lawyer Than Zaw Aung. He was sentenced to...

The Washington Post has amended at least a dozen reports investigating the genesis and fallout of the Steele dossier, an opposition research project that is almost certainly a work of total fiction if not Russian counterintelligence propaganda. Two articles in particular, one from 2017 and one from 2019 , have undergone significant edits, with major portions of the reporting removed entirely. Both stories also bear lengthy editor’s notes. The 2017 story, titled originally, “Who is ‘Source D’? The man said to be behind the Trump-Russia dossier’s most salacious claim,” identified businessman Sergei Millian as a key source for the dossier....

[Catholic Caucus] Rome Against the Roman Rite: A Template for Cowardly BishopsWe see now where this is going. Immediately following the release of Traditionis Custodes in July, 2021, a few bishops canceled Latin Masses in their dioceses. Many, however, are still “prayerfully considering” how best to implement the Pope’s executive order. Now the vicar general for the Diocese of Rome has given the bishops of the world a template for acceptable implementation of Traditionis Custodes.According to the letter of the vicar general dated October 7, 2021 (translated by Peter Kwasniewski), one parish church in the Diocese of Rome may offer...

Senate Commerce Republicans are whipping opposition to the nomination of Gigi Sohn, one of President Joe Biden’s picks for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Biden nominated Sohn, former FCC counsel under Tom Wheeler and Ford Foundation alum, to an empty spot on the commission in late October, along with current acting Chair Jessica Rosenworcel to the permanent position. While Republicans have been quiet in their response to the nomination of Rosenworcel, many are pointing to Sohn’s public statements on conservatives as reasons to oppose her confirmation. “Ms. Sohn is another radical leftist that President Biden is seeding his administration with,”...

A federal court ordered Joe Biden’s Department of Justice to stop extracting data from the phone of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe. According to court documents, the government must confirm by Nov. 12 that it has stopped the search of O’Keefe’s devices. In addition, the court mandated the federal agents provide a response to O’Keefe’s request for explanation as to why the search was taking place. O’Keefe revealed the FBI took two of his iPhones and called the raids an “attack on the First Amendment.” The FBI claimed the search is connected to the alleged diary of Ashley Biden, which...

Running any marathon is no small feat for a first-time marathoner. Running it as the child of a former president could be even a little more challenging. Chelsea Clinton, 41, not only ran and finished the New York City Marathon on Sunday, she did did it under the cloak of an alias. Or perhaps, she was Anonymous. Chelsea, who's the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, finished her first marathon in just under 4 hours. Her name wasn't found on the final results, though. She finished the race in 3 hours, 59 minutes and nine seconds (3:59:09).

C is for Clinton — and Cruz. After taking aim at “Sesame Street” character Big Bird for urging kids to get inoculated against COVID-19 over the weekend, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz mocked Democratic bigwig Hillary Clinton’s sartorial choices in a photo showing the vaccine-promoting pair standing together. “Captured in the wild, rare image of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch,” the senator tweeted.

But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in. And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them...

At 2:21 into the hearing today, one of the prosecutors mentions that the DOJ looked into the issue of the jury reviewing evidence inside the jury room and concluded it'd be reversible error on appeal. Earlier witnesses mentioned the F.B.I. came to visit them at home or at work. Then we had the F.B.I footage appearing two weeks ago -- they only had the low res as the high res had been deleted for whatever reason. Now that very footage is being used to come up with the 'Kyle was waving a gun = provocation' instruction going to the jury...

At least 112 Virginia children were given wrong doses of COVID-19 vaccines after a local pharmacy tried to make up for not having the new shots for kids, according to local officials. Ted Pharmacy in Aldie “incorrectly administered” partial doses of adult vaccines to the kids — likely either not fully protecting them or even giving them too much, the Loudoun County Health Department said. “Because they did not have the children’s formulation they used the adult formulation but only gave a third of the amount to the children,” the health department’s director, David Goodfriend, told the Washington Post. “Our...

Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) YouTube account was suspended for one week starting Friday for uploading content violating the platform’s policy against COVID-19 misinformation. The video that triggered the suspension was a roundtable discussion in which the lawmaker falsely claimed that coronavirus vaccines are unsafe. “The updated figures today are 17,619. That is 225 times the number of deaths in just a 10-month period versus an annual figure for the flu vaccine. These vaccine injuries are real.” Johnson was citing numbers from the self-reporting database the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that...
