Telles, who faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon, was due to make his first court appearance Thursday. New details outlining what led police to close in on...

OLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Democrat vying to oust Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott is facing calls from within her own party to fold her campaign, following the publication of additional leaked audio in which she appears to make disparaging remarks about her constituents. The calls for state Rep. Krystle Matthews to withdraw just two months ahead of the general election came Thursday in reaction to leaked audio published by conservative activist group Project Veritas of Matthews speaking to one of its members, without her knowledge. Sitting in a restaurant, Matthews, who is Black, is heard saying that...

"This is a red Chinese communist op run against the United States by Chinese operatives and it's a disaster." In a live chat released on Monday, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, appeared together on “truethevote.locals.com” to discuss their 15-month involvement with what was characterized to them as a “counter-intelligence operation” with the Federal Bureau of Investigation into American election company Konnech Inc.

Modern language professor Uju Anya wrote: 'I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating' Twitter has removed a series of vile tweets written by a critical race theory professor who was mocking Queen Elizabeth II just hours before her death, prompting thousands of people including Jeff Bezos to slam her for the insolent words.

A new poll shows that nearly one-fourth of the members of the party of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Jared Polis, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, AOC and Joe Biden believe that men can get pregnant. A commentary at PJMedia took no prisoners in its response, writing, "Obviously, the overwhelming majority of Americans do not think men can get pregnant. Nor do they believe unicorns are real or that pigs can fly. But when you put blithering idiots and ideological nutcases in charge of regulating language, strange things can happen." It is the Daily Wire that reported on...

The agency asked Judge Aileen Cannon for a stay on some parts of her order, issued on Monday, which allowed for a special master to be assigned to the case and froze the US government's review of classified documents. The notice of appeal filing asks Ms. Cannon to allow the continued use of documents marked...

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday admitted that Joe Biden’s ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ is actually the Green New Deal repackaged. Yellen said Biden’s Marxist spending bill will “rid ourselves” of oil and gas. "The Inflation Reduction Act will put us on our way toward a future where we depend on the wind, the sun and other clean sources of energy. We will rid ourselves from our dependence on fossil fuels,” Yellen said. VIDEO:

Robert Alphonso Taft, Sr. (September 8, 1889 – July 31, 1953), son of President William Howard Taft, was a leading Republican Senator (1938–53) and known as "Mr. Republican". He was a leader of the Conservative Coalition, working with other Northern Republicans and some Southern Democrats to control Congress on most domestic issues (aside from civil rights, which the conservative Republicans supported while the Boll Weevils opposed). Little major legislation passed the Senate against his objections. His crowning achievement was writing and passing the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 over President Truman's veto. It balanced the interests of unions, management and the...

The new king of England will reign as King Charles III – a moniker he once reportedly considered rejecting to avoid links to the bloody and turbulent history of his two royal namesakes. His majesty considered being called George VII to honor his grandfather — a beloved royal figure — and to avoid Charles, a name considered “jinxed” in some royal circles, The London Times reported in 2005. His “Charles” predecessors ruled over some of the bloodiest periods in UK history. King Charles I led the country into a civil war — and remains the only English monarch to be...

There has developed a dichotomy of perception about the earth’s future. The division is, I think, clearly defined in a story I recently heard a preacher tell. He said a schoolgirl was assigned the task of writing an essay. The girl’s choice was on the wonderful new world order that was being constructed. She was intent on presenting, he said, the promise of the globalist-oriented curriculum to which she had been subjected during her entire classroom experience. The dichotomy, the division of perception within views of the world order and the need for building it, is stark indeed. The humanist...
