A legal advocacy group led by former high-ranking members of the Trump administration sued Lehigh County election officials to ensure that drop-off ballot boxes are properly used. The lawsuit asks Lehigh County Court to order the officials to follow state law and ensure that a person drops off only one ballot, unless authorized to deliver another for someone else. The lawsuit cites county DA Jim Martin’s investigation earlier this year that determined, based on video surveillance, at least 288 people deposited MULTIPLE ballots in the November 2021 election. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the Lehigh County Republican...

As a clinical psychologist who has been working in NHS services for a decade, I’ve seen first hand how we are failing people by locating their problems within them as some kind of mental disorder or psychological issue, and thereby depoliticising their distress. Will six sessions of CBT, designed to target “unhelpful” thinking styles, really be effective for someone who doesn’t know how they’re going to feed their family for another week? Antidepressants aren’t going to eradicate the relentless trauma a man is surviving in a hostile workplace, and branding people who are enduring sexual violence with a psychiatric disorder...

The European Conservative, self-described as Europe’s “premier conservative English-language quarterly journal of philosophy, politics, and the arts,” has been pulled from the shelves of WHSmith after two individuals waged a campaign against it on social media....

Eric Bruskin's comments about Alliance Defending Freedom raise further concerns about the politicized Department of Justice.WASHINGTON, D.C (LifeSiteNews) – A senior official in the Department of Justice (DOJ) and former attorney for the ACLU called Alliance Defending Freedom a “hate group” and told another attorney he would not want to be associated with him anymore for speaking at an event sponsored by the Christian legal nonprofit. “Honored to speak with Matt Sharp at Alliance Defending Freedom about the work we’re doing in Florida to protect kids from experimental medical interventions and to defend parental rights, all thanks to the leadership...

What in the world are they planning to do on September 24th, 2022? As you will see below, a member of the German legislature is openly warning that September 24th will be a day when everyone will remember “exactly where he or she was”. Needless to say, those days don’t come along very often. For those that were alive at the time, the death of John F. Kennedy was one of those days. And certainly, 9/11 was one of those days. But off the top of my head, I can’t really think of too many others. I can remember what...

According to a report, 1,100 otherwise healthy athletes have died of “sudden death” since 1966. But 3/4 of them, or 673, died in the last year. Gee, do you wonder what that it? According to a comprehensive list of fallen athletes, since Jan. of 2021, 673 athletes have suddenly died despite having no known illnesses or conditions. But only 428 such deaths occurred between 1966 and 2021. That means we have had nearly twice as many sudden deaths in just one year compared to 40 years previously.

Tucker Carlson opened his Monday show displaying these shocking comments by the Democrat leaders. They have demonized American citizens as their new enemy and will act accordingly. Last Friday we learned that up to 50 Trump supporters had their homes raided or were subpoenaed by Joe Biden’s DOJ. Attorney Harmeet Dhillon went on with Tucker Carlson to discuss the mass FBI raids and subpoenas of Trump supporters.

As the city of Seattle experiences historically high crime, its police department continues to dwindle and recruitment efforts continue to fail. One former King County Sheriff puts it bluntly: “we’re screwed.” The Seattle Police Department (SPD) lost six officers in August, according to a police source, bringing the year’s total separations to 122 and nearly 500 since the city council opted to defund the police department in 2020. What’s more alarming is the 350 officers that will be eligible for retirement at the end of the year. If even a fraction leaves the department, Seattle may not have a fully...

President Joe Biden joked with cancer survivors Monday, urging them not to jump from a balcony above him as he spoke at the JFK library in Boston. “I want to thank all of you. The cancer patients, survivors, caregivers. And don’t jump from up there, okay?” He added, motioning up to a group of people on a balcony at the museum.

The United Nations mission in Afghanistan has accused the Taliban authorities of intimidating and harassing its female staff working in the country, including detaining three women for questioning on Monday. Since the Taliban seized power in August last year, they have imposed harsh restrictions on girls and women to comply with their austere vision of Islam — effectively squeezing females out of public life. UNAMA’s accusation came hours after a top UN expert warned the state of human rights in the country had deteriorated across the board. Women and girls in particular have seen a “staggering regression” in their civil,...

fter years of more or less being in denial of a rapidly growing and uniquely problematic threat, the battle of Mosul six years ago saw homemade explosive-laden drones constantly attacking friendly forces. This forced the Pentagon to begrudgingly accept this new 'democratized' weapon of warfare for which it had little defense — small and easy-to-field weaponized drones — as a major threat. Since then, the U.S. military has been running flat out trying to catch up to what is a rapidly evolving range of capabilities that are now causing havoc on battlefields and beyond. One ominous video posted by the...

Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Donald Trump’s refusal to concede his defeat in the 2020 presidential election put the nation in a dangerous “no man’s land.” CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked about New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s new book claiming that Trump planned to stay at the White House after the election.

“We now honor my father in his new role as King Charles III,” said Prince Harry in a statement paying tribute to his late, great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Twelve short words, but ones that carry enormous significance coming from the man who has spent the past two years publicly dishonoring his father. A week ago, I was told by someone very close to Charles that he was “deeply hurt and utterly bemused” by his younger son’s behavior toward him. In a series of bitter, angry attacks since quitting the royal family and Britain, Harry has accused his father of...

A high-level executive in Russia’s energy sector has died after apparently falling off a boat over the weekend, becoming the latest Russian powerbroker to perish under mysterious circumstances. Ivan Pechorin, 39, managing director of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (ERDC), was sailing off the coast of Russky Island in the Sea of Japan on Saturday when he fell overboard from the speeding vessel.
