Bruno Silva made his way across the muddy Rio Grande along the Mexican border with El Paso, 11-month-old Maria perched on his shoulders. An exhausted Shyrley Oliveira staggered behind. They looked like just another family of migrants crossing to the U.S., Ms. Oliveira said, recalling the journey from Brazil she made at age 18 in 2019. Although Ms. Oliveira is Maria’s mother, Mr. Silva wasn’t her father. In fact, he had only gotten to know Ms. Oliveira a few weeks earlier as part of what authorities call a child-renting scam that has been used by some Brazilians fleeing poverty to...

What are the possible outcomes of the Ukraine war? Russian Withdrawal: Russia could decide to cut its losses and abandon the fight in Ukraine. It is unlikely that the current Russian leadership will do so, but there is no guarantee that Vladimir Putin will remain Russia’s leader. If there is an internal upheaval in the Kremlin, then a new leader, even if a hardliner, could decide to pull out, blame the debacle on Putin, and, as they say, rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Go All Out: A second, dreadful possibility is that the Russians, who anyway think they...

Manhattan Reps. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, both Congressional stalwarts for a generation, will face each other in a Democratic primary this summer after redrawn maps put the two in the same district.Nadler has been in Congress since 1992, and currently represents the 10th District; Maloney has served since 1993 and is the incumbent in the 12th District. The state's congressional primary is expected Aug. 23. It was postponed after a judge threw out maps drawn by a redistricting commission and assigned the task to a special master. A draft of that special master's maps came out Monday morning, showing...

If you think that the food and diesel shortages are bad now, then you will be absolutely horrified by what the globe is experiencing by the end of the year. All over the planet, food production is being crippled by an unprecedented confluence of factors. The war in Ukraine, extremely bizarre weather patterns, nightmarish plagues and a historic fertilizer crisis have combined to create a “perfect storm” that isn’t going away any time soon. As a result, the food that won’t be grown in 2022 will become an extremely severe global problem by the end of this calendar year. Global...

Sweden has said it will join Finland in bidding for membership of NATO, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted an 'historic' shift away from decades of neutrality. Magdalena Andersson, the Swedish prime minister, announced the move on Monday - just a day after Finnish counterpart Sanna Marin tabled her own bid. Andersson said the move was being made in conjunction with Helsinki and marks 'a historic change in our country's security policy' which has relied on a pledge of neutrality to deter attacks since the Napoleonic era.

The top 10 VPN apps in Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store in Russia collectively saw nearly 6 million downloads between Feb. 24, the day the invasion began, to March 8, according to data from SensorTower compiled for CNBC. This was up 1,500% when compared with the top 10 VPN apps in the previous 13-day period. Meanwhile, Twitter has launched a version of its website on Tor, a service that encrypts internet traffic to help mask the identity of users and prevent surveillance on them. Russians are turning to VPNs to bypass the country’s tightening internet controls following the...

HBO’s host John Oliver launched a vitriolic and profanity-laced attack on Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) over the state’s recently passed Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, which makes it a felony to conduct surgery or provide puberty blockers and other hormone treatments to children under the age of 19.

After being accused of sexually assaulting a student last year, a former New Hampshire teacher of the year finalist is facing criminal charges. This is the first case that County Attorney Patricia Conway’s office would prosecute under a relatively new statute that focuses on the relationship of authority over an alleged victim rather than their age. Bridgette Doucette-Howell, 38, was charged in April and May 2021 with three counts of serious felonious sexual assault of an 18-year-old. The accuser was a Sanborn Regional High School student. Doucette-Howell worked as an extracurricular activity theatre coach at the high school on a...

Everything is going wrong for Joe Biden as his Presidency collapses. His constant blunders make him an easy target for Republicans. And Joe Biden was furious when a leading Republican gave him this reality check. After Joe Biden went on a spending spree that would make a drunken sailor blush, inflation is running rampant. The country is in the midst of its highest inflation in 40 years, with the situation likely to get worse. To avoid responsibility for crushing shoppers with skyrocketing prices, the Biden regime has trotted one lame excuse after another. At first, they used the talking point...

The Curiosity rover took a photo of the odd structure on May 7, 2022, as it climbed Mount Sharp on Mars.Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS NASA’s Curiosity rover took a photo of a Lovecraftian feature on the surface of Mars last week: a seemingly rectangular and shadowy opening in the planet’s exposed rock that looks as if it leads into the Martian underground. The image was captured on May 7 by the Curiosity rover’s Mastcam while it ascended Mount Sharp. While the grainy black-and-white image may have conspiracy theorists over...

After some extensive research into all the candidates that are running for statewide offices, and for my district in Idaho, these are the candidates I am voting for tomorrow. If you live in other districts, you will have to do a little extra research to see which candidate is best. In future primaries I may do more local districts, but for now this took long enough.
