The UN General Assembly on Thursday agreed on a definition of denial of the Holocaust and urged social media companies "to take active measures" to combat antisemitism. "The General Assembly is sending a strong and unambiguous message against the denial or the distortion of these historical facts," said Germany's UN Ambassador Antje Leendertse. "Ignoring historical facts increases the risk that they will be repeated." While the 193-member General Assembly adopted the resolution - drafted by Israel and Germany - without a vote, Iran disassociated itself from the text over Israel's "occupation of Palestine and parts of Syria and Lebanon." Israel's...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Democratic Wisconsin state lawmaker tweeted Thursday that if parents want to have a say in their child’s education they should pay for private school or home school, a message she later deleted and apologized for. Republicans jumped over the tweet from state Rep. Lee Snodgrass, of Appleton, who is also a vice chair of the state Democratic Party. Republican gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Kleefisch tweeted a video message recorded in her car denouncing Snodgrass’s tweet, saying “we the parents demand a say in our kids’ education and we demand it now.” Snodgrass, in a follow up...

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — When day care owner Heidi Fink checked her email Thursday morning, she was shocked to find a message from South Dakota’s Department of Social Services informing her that the facility was receiving a $217,000 grant. The award for Blue Dragons Academy childcare in Garretson was part of Gov. Kristi Noem’s $100 million plan to send federal money received under the American Rescue Plan Act to child care centers. The money — which was more than triple what she was expecting — would be used for bonuses and raises for her employees, as well as supplies. Fink...

SAN FRANCISCO - In one clip, a Tesla tries to drive down some light-rail tracks. In another, a Tesla fails to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. And at one point, the most advanced driver-assistance product available to consumers appears to slam into a bike lane bollard at 11 mph. Each of these moments - captured on video by a Tesla owner and posted online - reveals a fundamental weakness in Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology, according to a panel of experts assembled by The Washington Post and asked to examine the videos. These are problems with no easy fix,...

The right-wing firebrand laughed off comments made during an interview with One American Network (OAN) complaining House Speaker Pelosi was secretly investigating members of Congress and constituents. “Not only do we have the D.C. jail, which is the D.C. gulag,” said Rep. Greene in a now-viral video. “Now we have Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens that want to come to talk with their representatives.” After being roundly mocked for confusing the Gestapo, the official secret police of Nazi Germany...

A new mom who broke out in agonizing blisters during her pregnancy says she was left stunned to learn she was “allergic” to her own baby. Fiona Hooker — who hails from Hampshire, England — got pregnant with her second child in late 2020. The first two trimesters of the pregnancy went smoothly, but the now 32-year-old began to notice red spots on her stomach two months before she was due to give birth. “I went to the doctor after a few days because they were getting more and more itchy and unbearable,” Hooker told South West News Service in...

Of course this comes from MSN/AP. Why couldn't they run a positive article on Hershel? We all know why. They're doing opposition research for the left. Rush called it drive by journalism. And it is. Here's the first paragraph. "One warm fall evening in 2001, police in Irving, Texas, received an alarming call from Herschel Walker’s therapist. The football legend and current Republican Senate candidate in Georgia was “volatile,” armed and scaring his estranged wife at the suburban Dallas home they no longer shared. Blah, blah, blah. "

Costing more than $160 million, it is surely the most awkward film release in recent memory as several of the stars have either been canceled or the subjects of mockery and derision. “This film has become every publicist’s worst nightmare,” said an industry source. “It’s a project where everything which can go wrong has gone wrong — and there’s nothing to be done or said to make it better. SNIP First, there is Armie Hammer, who stars as playboy Simon Doyle in the adaptation of the 1937 Agatha Christie novel. He was accused of rape and cannibalistic desires back in...

A self-proclaimed' old-school junkie' who moved from Texas to San Francisco because 'it's f*****g easy' to be homeless there claims he's being paid by the city government to live on the streets, getting $620 in cash per month and hundreds of food stamps while he sells Narcan and enjoys Amazon Prime and Netflix on his phone. "Why wouldn’t I do it? You know, it’s f*****g free money dude,' he explained. 'Why would I want to pay rent?' '[Mayor London] Breed's policies and the policies in San Francisco give him everything that he needs to stay addicted,' she told Carlson. 'They...

SOMERTON, Ariz. (AP) — Seated on a metal folding chair in the front row among dozens of asylum-seekers awaiting COVID tests in Arizona, Gloria Estela Vallora reaped the benefits of her Colombian passport. She and eight family members, ranging in age from 4 to 63, flew to Cancun for two nights in the Mexican beach resort town, caught another flight to Mexico’s border with the U.S., walked 20 minutes to U.S. agents and spent a night in custody. Within hours, they would be with a friend in Utah. For Colombians and other nationalities that don’t need a visa, flying to...

The U.S. military mission to evacuate American citizens and foreign allies from Afghanistan was hampered by continuous appeals for help from an array of advocates including White House officials, members of Congress, veterans of the war, media outlets and even the Vatican, according to the operation’s senior commander.

Yes or no, do funds raised by public school levies give money to the teacher's unions?

Afirst-time visitor to Lviv in Western Ukraine, knowing nothing of national borders or the city’s history, might be forgiven for thinking he was still in Poland. From the elaborately coiffed opera house to the open-air cafes to the cobblestoned market square, the city’s charming downtown is a pastiche of Mitteleuropa influences. At least superficially, Lviv has far more in common with Krakow or Budapest than Moscow or even Kyiv.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Abortions in Texas fell by 60% in the first month under the most restrictive abortion law in the U.S. in decades, according to new figures that for the first time reveal a full accounting of the immediate impact. The nearly 2,200 abortions reported by Texas providers in September came after a new law took effect that bans the procedure once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy and without exceptions in cases of rape or incest. The figures were released this month by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. In August, there...

New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones blasted the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday for taking a get-tough stance on New York shoplifting — dismissing the crime wave as no big deal and suggesting that the longtime liberal activist was now backing the “carceral state.” Hannah-Jones, who spearheaded the controversial “1619 Project,” made the comments after Sharpton called on Mayor Eric Adams to stop surging thefts in the wake of The Post’s exclusive story of a Trader Joe’s shoplifter who made off with 10 steaks. “This drumbeat for continued mass incarceration is really horrific to watch,” Hannah-Jones tweeted. “A person stealing...
