SEATTLE - The man accused of shoving a woman down the stairs at a Seattle light rail station now faces a first-degree murder charge for a beating that occurred just a few hours later. The King County Prosecutor's Office filed the felony charge on Tuesday. The prosecutors say 40-year-old Alexander Jay beat 31-year-old Brent Wood to death on March 3rd around 12:30 a.m. Jay is already accused of several violent crimes just hours before this deadly attack. Investigators say Jay attacked a woman at the light rail station on Mar. 2, 2022 breaking her ribs and her collarbone. They also...

Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men. Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself — both anal as well as oral intercourse — is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission. The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor. In recent weeks, a growing body of scientific evidence — including a trio...

Joe Biden had zero public events scheduled for Wednesday. Biden has only taken a handful of softball questions from sycophantic reporters in the last five weeks. 79-year-old Joe Biden has not done an on-camera interview with American media since February 10. His last on-camera (heavily edited) interview was with an Israeli outlet last month. Biden returned to the White House on Tuesday for 5 hours to sign the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ before leaving on another vacation to Delaware. The look on Joe Biden’s face as the Democrats erupted in cheers said it all. Biden looked totally clueless, mouth agape as...

A court in India ordered the release of 11 Hindu men who gang-raped a pregnant Muslim woman in 2002 and killed seven of her family members. Themen involved in the Bilkis Bano case were freed on remission on Monday from Gujarat’s Godhra town jail as India celebrated the 75th anniversary of the end of British rule. The men were previously convicted in early 2008 and given life sentences for the rape of Bano, a then-21-year-old pregnant Muslim woman, amid the Hindu-Muslim riots in 2002. She was five months pregnant at the time of her rape. The riots in Gujarat, which...

[Catholic Caucus] Inviting Us to Participate in SinThe saying goes that the people get the government they deserve. A bad tree yields a bad harvest of leaders. This follows the natural law that God has placed in the world. He also directly intervenes—at least the bishops of the Church have, in the past, held this to be the case. When Joshua followed God’s instructions, the walls of Jericho fell. When the Hebrews and their high priest, Aaron, chose to worship a calf, God was harsh but merciful in response. In Joshua’s case, a course of action was directed by God,...

FNC's Tucker Carlson reviews what was learned this week in court about the "plot" to "kidnap" the governor of Michigan during the 2020 election to highlight why many conservatives are losing trust in the FBI and federal law enforcement: TUCKER CARLSON: By all accounts, Attorney General Merrick Garland was shocked to hear criticism of the raid on Mar-a-Lago last week. It turns out that Garland lives in such a tiny, airless world of left-wing activists and sycophants that it had never occurred to him that anyone might object to siccing the FBI on Joe Biden's political opponents. When woke Twitter...

President Joe Biden hasn’t blocked Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi from entering the U.S. to speak at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting in New York City next month. Raisi will attend even after an Iranian military officer was charged this month with trying to assassinate former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. For weeks, Senate Republicans have been calling for President Joe Biden to block Raisi, who the U.S. sanctioned in 2019 for his role in executing children in 2018 and 2019. Earlier this month, The Department of Justice charged an Iranian military officer with trying to hire people...

Known as the Space Launch System (SLS), the vehicle was moved to Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida ahead of the expected lift-off on 29 August. The debut outing is a test with no crew aboard, but future missions will send astronauts back to the lunar surface for the first time in over 50 years. The near 100m-tall (328ft) SLS rode an immense tractor to the pad. It started moving from its assembly building at Kennedy just before 22:00 on Tuesday, local time, and had completed the 6.7km (4.2 miles) journey by just after sunrise on Wednesday...

Students at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands are developing the world's smallest and lightest moon rover, called Lunar Zebro. Named after the Dutch phrase for "six-legged," Lunar Zebro will indeed have six legs instead of wheels, allowing it to climb taller obstacles on the moon than its wheeled counterparts can overcome. The rover will be the size of a standard sheet of paper and weigh about 5.5 pounds (2.5 kilograms). The project has been in the work for the better part of a decade, although it started with Earthbound implications. The Zebro Group was founded...

Watching outgoing (tee hee) Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) compare herself to Ulysses S. Grant was really something.

The self-love!More like, the self-delusion.With narcissistic sociopaths like Liz Cheney, you never know if they truly believe what they say or whether they are just saying what they’re required to remain in good standing with the Mika-Joe-Jake-Anderson-Wolf-Rachel morons.You better tote that barge, girl. You better lift that bale.Watch as Liz Cheney compares herself to former Pres. Abraham Lincoln:C-SPANTo keep...

THE REAL CAUSE OF SEVERE WEATHER "Mother Earth gets angry from time to time, and this legislation will help us address all of that,” joked Speaker Nancy Pelosi after passing the Inflation Reduction Act. WARNING: This column may be offensive to the godless. News Flash: God controls the climate not man, technology nor governments. Don’t believe godless scientists who blame climate change for natural disasters like, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, droughts and wildfires. After all not all scientists agree.

AS America grapples with a crackdown on abortion and a looming financial crisis, more young men are turning to vasectomies - and filming it for TikTok. Demand for vasectomies appears to have shot up dramatically in every corner of the US since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in July, which guaranteed a woman the right to an abortion. For most people, getting "the snip" is a decision you make in later life. It refers to male sterilisation and it cuts or seals the tubes that carry a man's sperm to permanently prevent pregnancy. Many men go for this...

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John,...
