LATEST REPORTS FROM HEADQUARTERS. HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, RECTORTOWN, VA., Nov. 6 -- 10 P.M. As the particulars of the fight yesterday at Barber's become more known, the more brilliant the victory is found to have been. The battle was fought by cavalry alone, and between the best disciplined troops either army can produce -- the rebels under the command of Gen. STUART and the Nationals under the command of Gen. PLEASANTON. The final result shows that the rebels left thirty-six dead on the field, and their wounded must have been numerous. Our loss was five killed...

China will be showing its latest drone-killing technology alongside other advanced weapons at the 14th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which runs in Zhuhai, Guangdong, through this week. The state-run Global Times reported that China would unveil at the event a new anti-drone system built around small-and-micro missiles, advanced sensors and radar and unmanned ground vehicles.

“‘But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written, “Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.” Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he’” (Matthew 11:9–11). God always calls the right person to the right position in the realm of greatness. In John,...

President Biden told the crowd at a historically black college on Monday that they were “just as smart” and “just as bright” as students at other schools as he delivered his final speech before the midterm elections in a deeply Democratic part of Maryland. Touting his $5.8 billion commitment to HBCUs, Biden told the mostly black audience at Bowie State University that “HBCUs don’t have the endowments others have, but guess what? You’re just as smart, you’re just as bright, you’re just as good as any college in America.”

Shortly before the release of the second government report on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in as many years, dueling narratives emerged in the media. A New York Times article poured cold water on theories of alien visitation and the extraordinary technology alluded to in a 2021 report on “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP). *snip* A Daily Mail article, in contrast, struck a remarkably different tone. Among several eyebrow-raising quotes, one source sharply criticized their Office of the Director of National Intelligence colleagues, stating, “They don’t want to talk about [UAP], because they really, really don’t know what the hell they are.”...

rices at the pump are in focus again, but this time, it’s the other pump – the diesel fuel pump. Diesel is the fuel trucks, trains and ships fill their tanks with to move goods closer to our homes and stores. While the national average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline we put in our cars has dropped about 24% from their record high in June, the price of diesel has only slipped 8%. Diesel prices used to be lower than gasoline, but that relationship has flipped over the years, and the spread between the two has widened and...

The race for governor of Idaho would have been a quiet one if not for the effort of the Independent conservative candidate, Ammon Bundy, with his dominating ground-game and highly produced, captivating online advertisements. Given the voter demographics in Idaho, the governor hopeful has a narrow pathway to victory: could he pull off the political upset of the century? It all started with the Idaho Republican Governor primary race, where conservatives backed Janice McGeachin, a seemingly aloof candidate marred by political gaffes and less-than-spectacular appearances on FOX News' Tucker Carlson. Leading up to McGeachin's primary election, a video appearance at...

Just Stop Oil today blamed 'rich men's profit' for the climate catastrophe as they evaded police to climb motorway gantries again - despite choosing the same time, locations and the exact same method for their protest. Fed-up drivers ignored smart motorway markings to go into closed lanes in a desperate attempt to get to work. They targeted the M25 gantries at junctions 1b, 8/9, 12/13, 7/8, 11, 12/13, 14/15, 20, 21a, 22, 27 and 31. Many of them were the same locations hit yesterday, sparking disbelief police were today not better prepared.

On Friday, Kari Lake responded to criticisms leveled against her by former President Obama and Democrats, and just generally knocked 'em dead.

The powerful Russian businessman and a close Vladimir Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin has admitted to interfering in US elections on the eve of a midterm vote in which Republicans will seek to take control of Congress and state-wide offices across the country.

She was an all-American in her freshman year and made the Southeastern Conference’s honor roll as a sophomore majoring in interdisciplinary studies. Ahead of the start of her junior season, Dunne is also at the leading edge of a movement shaking the old foundations of college sports: a female student athlete raking in cash thanks to the passage in 2021 of new rules allowing college athletes to sign name, image and likeness, or N.I.L., deals.

Extend, all seeing God, thy hand, In mercy still decree, And make, to bless my native land, An instrument of me. - John Quincy Adams

The California Lottery announced late Monday night that it’s delaying the Powerball drawing because officials need more time to complete security protocols. The delay is caused by one participating lottery that needs more time to process its sales, the Multi-State Lottery Commission told CNN in a statement. The drawing is still planned to occur after that procedure is completed. Earlier, the California Lottery said, “Powerball has strict security requirements that must be met by all 48 lotteries before a drawing can occur,” adding that a participating lottery needs extra time to meet those requirements before the drawing can be conducted....
