China has opened dozens of “overseas police service stations” around the globe to monitor its citizens living abroad, including one location in New York City and three in Toronto. “These operations eschew official bilateral police and judicial cooperation and violate the international rule of law, and may violate the territorial integrity in third countries involved in setting up a parallel policing mechanism using illegal methods,” reads a report by Safeguard Defenders, a human rights watchdog, released earlier this month. The report, titled “110 Overseas: Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild,” details China’s extensive efforts to combat “fraud” by its citizens living...

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus passes judgment on townswho have failed to believe in him and his signs: “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!

President Joe Biden tried to send a message of strength as he reacted to remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. “America and its allies are not going to be intimidated by Putin and his reckless words and threats,” Biden said, as he glanced at his notecard. “He’s not going to scare us or intimidate us.” The president spoke about Putin at the White House after delivering remarks on the ongoing devastation following Hurricane Ian in Florida.

Democrats lead Republicans in the generic congressional ballot by 4 points with Election Day less than six weeks away, according to a new poll.

Sitting with the candidate for almost an hour on Friday morning, community and faith leaders in Duquesne told Republican U.S. Senate contender Mehmet Oz that the reason Pennsylvania is seeing its communities ravaged by violent crime is because of deeply-embedded systemic issues, insisting that it’ll take level-headed solutions — not mantras like “Defund the Police” — to fix them. In a small activity room at New Birth Baptist Church on Grant Ave, Mr. Oz was joined by church members and activists to discuss solutions to rising crime rates, modeled off a similar roundtable he held in Philadelphia recently. On the...

College Station, Texas I was fired from my nursing job this year for refusing to take “implicit bias” training. After 39 years of providing equal care to all my patients without regard to their race, I objected to a mandatory course grounded in the idea that I’m racist because I’m white. I fear every healthcare professional will soon be forced to make the same awful decision I did: Falsely admit to being racist or abandon the medical field. My ordeal started in September 2021 when my employer, Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White Health, rolled out its annual training modules for...

The Nordstream pipelines have sprung some leaks and it appears to be sabotage. “We have established a report and the crime classification is gross sabotage,” a Swedish national police spokesperson said. Seismic monitoring stations in Sweden, Finland and Norway recorded two explosions Monday near the Danish island of Bornholm, the largest of which registered a 2.3 on the Richter scale. “There’s no doubt this is not an earthquake,” said Bjorn Lund, director of the Swedish National Seismic Network. The ruptures are releasing massive amounts of methane - the single largest amount released ever recorded. Let's note what's being said about...

Hubble has been orbiting the Earth since 1990 - NASA The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 with an expected lifespan of around 15 years, but servicing missions and upgrades have seen it continue to gather important science observations to this day.

Hubble currently orbits the Earth at an altitude of around 335 miles (540 km), though this is decreasing slowly...
