The trial in Sweden of Hamid Noury, an agent of the Iranian regime, ended on May 5th. The prosecutor told the court that there was plenty of evidence to show that Hamid Noury committed the crimes he had been charged with and she asked for him to be sentenced to life imprisonment. The verdict is expected later. The court case in Stockholm has been a direct embarrassment to Iran’s executioner president, Ebrahim Raisi, dubbed ‘The Butcher of Tehran’ for his hands-on role in the killing of thousands of political prisoners, including teenagers and even pregnant women, during a notorious massacre...

War plunges its participants into a welter of death and destruction, hardship and cruelty, tragedy and irony. The Ukraine war’s agonies have been widely documented but its overlooked ironies are particularly striking. The post-1945 US has proven largely unsuccessful as a warrior nation. Russia and its predecessor state, the USSR, have been far more successful – with one standout exception. One observer thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched his country on potentially its most disastrous military venture since that exception – the USSR’s war in Afghanistan. The Kremlin’s ongoing “special military operation” grants Washington not only a platform of...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that he’s never “thought life itself was particularly precious.” And “life is for the living. Until you’re born, you’re not living. I mean, yes, it’s becoming a life, but it’s not. And we wouldn’t miss you if you’re not born.”

“People who refuse to call Putin an ‘occupier’ or ‘tyrant’ will receive the same treatment as people who spoke out against the corona vaccines” – Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò In 2014, Jacques Attali, the mastermind behind the Great Reset, “predicted” on French television that World War III would start with Ukraine. The same year, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who Attali helped mold, warned, “we will proceed together toward a new world order, and nobody, and I do mean nobody, will be able to oppose it.” Now, in 2022, we are seeing the World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab counterpart...

Forget inflation, forget Ukraine, forget the crashing stock market. Thanks to a troublemaking leak by some jerk inside the U.S. Supreme Court, abortion is dominating the front pages of our media again.

Pro-life, pro-abortion, pro-choice, anti-abortion….

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized pushes to deal with social media disinformation for always focusing “on the producers, never the consumers, as if we’re all helpless, dumb blondes ready to believe anything” and said that “sorting out the lies from the truth is your job.” Maher stated, “Since this is Mother’s Day weekend, let’s pause and take a moment to think about how your mother was always there for you, looking after you, and keeping you safe, and then realize, that’s not Twitter’s job. Keeping you safe and sorting out the lies from the...

The nurse was extremely anxious for me to come in right away for an amniocentesis. The doctor, painting a picture of doom and gloom, wanted to confirm a suspected Down Syndrome diagnosis for our unborn daughter. It's...
