MSNBC’s Al Sharpton on Thursday pushed for an “institutional change” within police departments get rid of “racism.” During a conversation with New York City Mayor Eric Adams on “Morning Joe,” Sharpton argued on that the New York Police Department wasn’t “throwing white kids on the Upper East Side against the wall” as part of the stop-and-frisk policy.

“If parents want to ‘have a say’ in their child’s education,” Democratic Wisconsin Representative Lee Snodgrass sneeringly tweeted in February, “they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their own budget.” It turns out there was a third option: Take over the school board. All across the state Tuesday night, conservative parents won decisive victories in school board elections, ousting liberal incumbents and sending a clear message that their communities will no longer stand for mask mandates and radical curricula. Snodgrass’ quickly deleted tweet served as something of a rallying cry for communities fed up with...

Officials at Ichilov Medical Center say two of the wounded in the Tel Aviv attack have died. The hospital is treating eight other wounded: Four are being operated on and are in serious condition, two more people are in moderate-to-serious condition, and two more are mildly hurt. Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai and Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai have arrived at the scene of the attack. A police spokesman says large police forces are scanning the area for the assailants. “We dove under the tables and people started crying, it was horrible,” says Evelyn Gertz, 34, who was having dinner next...

Medical researchers are closer to understanding the inflammatory responses in pre-term babies that can cause devastating heart and lung conditions including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). It is the immune system's job to defend the body from harmful invaders. Because there is a myriad of pathogens, stunningly versatile defense strategies have evolved, including one called type-2-polarized inflammation. Type-2-polarized inflammation's regular job is to fight off parasites and counterbalance type-1 and -3 responses. However, in babies with under-developed lungs, this inflammatory response is out of place and out of control, and can cause permanent damage to lung tissue, its...

April 7th marks the birthday of one of Hollywood’s best – the late, great James Garner – whose multi-decade career spanned everything from early TV westerns like "Maverick," to movies of all genres, from "Grand Prix" to "The Great Escape" to "Hour of the Gun." And, prior to his life on the screen, he served in both the U.S. Merchant Marine and the U.S. Army National Guard – that latter stint in uniform included combat in the Korean War where he was wounded twice in action, and received two Purple Hearts and the Army’s Combat Infantryman Badge for his service....

Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama's honor, that Biden's presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do. The ostensible reason for Obama's return to the White House was to celebrate Obamacare's twelfth anniversary (if you can celebrate our modern, cowardly, corporate-run "medical care," along with overpriced insurance that does little for people with serious health issues). The reception in Obama's honor, though, hinted that the event's real purpose...

Nine days after Ronnie and Beverly Baker were last seen in their RV while driving through Nevada, the missing Indiana woman was found alive on Tuesday. Although family members say Beverly is "doing okay," her husband has died.

Russia suffered major losses during the special military operation in Ukraine, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted, speaking live on Sky News on Thursday. "We have significant losses of troops. And it's a huge tragedy for us," he said.

A western Michigan homeowner fatally shot a career criminal who, in the dead of night last week, broke the windows of his truck, hollered at the homeowner demanding the keys, pushed open a door of the home, and even shot at the homeowner. Hours after last Thursday’s ordeal, Alan Lenhart told WOOD-TV he had no other choice: “I told him to go away, ‘I have a gun on you,’ and he would not go away and kept advancing on us. So … had to do it. There was no way around it. Absolutely no way around it.” Image source: WOOD-TV...

A fourth dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine only provides a short-term boost in protection against the virus, according to a study that was released Tuesday. As Pfizer and BioNTech seek emergency authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug administration to provide a second COVID-19 booster shot to senior citizens, researchers in Israel have found that a fourth shot of the company’s vaccine only provides four to seven weeks of increased protection before its efficacy wanes. The study examined data from the Israeli Ministry of Health database on more than 1.25 million people who were 60 years of age or older...

A European official criticized the continent’s sanctions plan for Russia and urged his colleagues to do more ahead of a vote that supported "full" sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine. Member of European Parliament (MEP) Guy Verhofstadt on Wednesday slammed the governing body’s "ridiculous" approach, which he said "doesn’t work" due to the fact Russia is run by an autocrat and the people have "no real" opinion. "That works with a democracy, with democrats, who have a public opinion, a real public opinion," Verhofstadt said. "In Russia, there is no longer a real public opinion." He argued that the newest...

A “Frankenstein”-style new Omicron subvariant is spreading in the UK — and some experts fear the mutation may be the most contagious form yet of COVID-19. The XE variant — which has also been confirmed in India and Thailand — is a mix of Omicron’s BA.1 strain and the new “stealth” BA.2 form, the Daily Beast reported. Such mutations are known as “recombinants,” and occur when a person gets infected with two or more variants at a time and they combine “Frankenstein” style, the outlet reported.

FIFTH WEEK OF LENT JOHN 8:51-59 Friends, today, Jesus refers to himself as “I AM,” the name God revealed to Moses. So let’s reflect on this episode from Exodus. While tending sheep in the hill country, Moses sees a strange sight. There an angel of the Lord appears to him in fire, flaming out of a bush. God sees him and calls him by name: “Moses, Moses. I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.” This is a very familiar God, one who knows Moses’ ancestors. Moses makes bold...

In 1912, President Theodore Roosevelt warned: "Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." This nearly 100-year-old warning is apropos as one considers the revelations of corruption oozing out of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop that was discovered and turned over years ago to law enforcement by a Delaware repair shop. In the October 22, 2020, presidential debate, President Donald Trump confronted former Vice...

Trump Turns TablesThe former President was harmed by his opponents' willful lies.Late last month, Donald Trump filed suit against the conspirators who conceived and propagated the falsehood that he had colluded with the Russians to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Like most of Trump’s ventures, the suit is ambitious, even grandiose. Trump is suing, among others, Hillary Clinton, the DNC, Marc Elias, the international law firm Perkins Cole, Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, ABC, and other yet to be named media corporations. He is suing them for, among other things, injurious falsehood, computer fraud,...

A video of lawmaker Guy Verhofstadt criticizing the European Union’s approach to dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin has gone viral. The Belgian Member of European Parliament (MEP) shared the video on his Twitter page on Wednesday. It has been viewed over 2.5 million times in that time. “Your strategy of incremental sanctions doesn’t work. Cannot work. That’s why 212 members of Parliament demand a special #EUCO meeting to decide on full sanctions immediately,” Verhofstadt wrote as a caption. […] “Finally, a little advice to my friends in Germany. I think that after the horrors of the Second World War,...
