The board overseeing a southeastern Arizona county whose Republican leaders had hoped to recount all Election Day ballots on Friday delayed certifying the results of last week's vote after hearing from a trio of conspiracy theorists who alleged that counting machines were not certified. The three men, or some combination of them, have filed at least four cases raising similar claims before the Arizona Supreme Court since 2021 seeking to have the state's 2020 election results thrown out. The court has dismissed all of them for lack of evidence, waiting too long after the election was certified or asking for...

The lack of a response from Florida governor Ron DeSantis speaks volumes. Ron DeSantis is doing an amazing job in Florida. His policies and statements have been very good.

Burning crosses on the front lawn and liking Bach are one in the same to this scholar A music theory professor at Hunter College of the City University of New York said his own father, who is black, was a white supremacist because he liked “Bach.” Professor Philip Ewell made the claims in a profile piece in the Yale Daily News. The university recently gave him its Wilbur Cross Award for “making the whiteness of music theory a topic of conversation,” the student paper reported. Ewell is so good at identifying “whiteness” and “white supremacy” that he even saw it...

JERUSALEM — A local rabbi named Jesus has been accused of being a dangerous Christian Nationalist after saying that soon he will establish his kingdom over the whole earth. "This Jesus guy is clearly an enemy of our Liberal World Order," said Sadducee Yavid Faranch during a weekly address at the synagogue.

An Indian aerospace startup has launched the country's first privately made rocket – a milestone in India's effort to foster a private space industry. The rocket, called Vikram-S, was launched to applause from onlookers Friday morning from the government-run Satish Dhawan Space Center, near the city of Chennai.

It’s happened again. Earlier this week, HonestReporting exposed yet another mainstream journalist who glorified Adolf Hitler and Palestinian terrorism. On Twitter, CNN Producer Idris Muktar Ibrahim proudly declared him a supporter of “#TeamHitler,” while describing the US-designated Hamas terrorist organization as “freedpm [sic] fighters… definding [sic] their land.” Ibrahim became the latest in a series of journalists whose anti-Jewish views have been brought to light by our editorial team. Over the last three months alone, we uncovered four antisemitic, anti-Israel journalists and successfully convinced reputable outlets to cut ties with several of them (see here, here, and here).

The U.S. Department of Defense has, once again, failed a comprehensive financial audit. The audit is the fifth comprehensive review the department has completed, and the fifth where auditors were unable to find sufficient record keeping for the DoD to pass off on a clean audit. This year’s DoD-wide audit report involved 27 smaller component audits, of which seven component audits received “unmodified opinions,” which mean that auditors determined the underlying military financial information was recorded fairly and in line with U.S. accounting standards. One component audit received a “qualified opinion,” meaning auditors found material accounting misstatements that were not...
