SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Four University of Idaho students who were found dead in a rental house near campus were stabbed to death in their beds and likely were asleep when they were attacked, a county coroner told a cable news channel. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt also told NewsNation on Thursday that each victim suffered multiple stab wounds from a “pretty large knife.” “It has to be somebody pretty angry in order to stab four people to death,” Mabbutt told NewsNation. The victims were stabbed in the chest and upper body, the coroner said. Efforts by The Associated Press...

The Biden Department of Justice has some explaining to do. Police body camera footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi contradicts what federal officials had claimed happened on that day. It's the latest revelation of what has turned into extraordinarily bizarre coverage and conflicting stories about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband. There are contradictory accounts surrounding the details of who opened the door to the house on the night of the attack when San Francisco police arrived at Pelosi's house. Biden's Department of Justice claimed, according to a federal indictment filed earlier this week, that "two officers opened the...

The United States will take part in the creation of and contribute to a fund that will pay developing nations to tackle climate change. The fund, negotiated at the United Nations' COP27 Summit, was originally known as a 'loss and damage' fund and had been blocked by previous American administrations. With a final climate accord already more than a day overdue, representatives of nearly 200 nations were anxious for an agreement they could bill as a step forward in the fight against climate change. ADVERTISEMENT The nations involved are largely from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and the south...

It’s worth taking a glance at the numerous figures, especially Democrats, who buddied up to the former crypto tycoon over the years. ... Not that long ago, Sam Bankman-Fried was on top of the world. Sporting a net worth of approximately $15.6 billion, Bankman-Fried was the CEO of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform launched in 2019 that had accumulated more than a million consumers by 2022. At 30 years old, he was extremely successful — that is, until last week when he was exposed as a con artist. After a Nov. 2 article from the digital currency news site Coindesk...

A federal judge in Texas ruled late last week that President Biden’s plan to cancel student debt is unconstitutional. It was a wise decision. Biden’s boon to borrowers would cost about $400 billion — a stiff price even in our bloated age of trillion-dollar deficits. Furthermore, forgiving student debt hides the real villains: the universities. America’s colleges, under the cloak of enriching young minds and imparting skills, run a scheme that would make Sam Bankman-Fried blush. Every year, they lure hundreds of thousands of students into debt servitude so they can get paid billions in taxpayer dollars and then leave...

Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader Last year, I promised that when I became Speaker, I would remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee based on her repeated anti-semitic and anti-American remarks. I'm keeping that promise.

As Twitter became knotted with parody accounts and turmoil, Rachel Terlep, who runs an account for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources that intersperses cheeky banter with wildfire and weather warnings, watched with equal parts trepidation and fascination. "It kind of feels like a supernova moment right now — a big, bright flash before it all goes away," she said. So the department stepped into the fray, taking advantage of the moment with some of its signature humor. "Update: The Twitter wildfire is 44 billion acres and 0% contained," they posted. But under the joke, it linked to a...

[Catholic Caucus] English bishop defends ‘LGBT Masses’: ‘Being together’ trumps preaching the virtue of chastityLEEDS, England (LifeSiteNews) — The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales have defended their widespread promotion of LGBT Masses, with one prelate telling LifeSiteNews that “being together in prayer” was more important than Catholic teaching on chastity.For many years, Catholic dioceses in England and Wales have been home to “LGBT+ Masses,” often strongly supported by the local bishops, and which have led to the detriment of Catholic teaching on LGBT issues. LifeSite has reported on a number of such Masses, including the notorious “Soho Masses” in...

Belenko had been a respected pilot with the Soviet Air Defence Forces. But by 1976, he wanted to leave the Soviet Union. At the time, he was based near Vladivostok, as part of the 513th Fighter Regiment, 11th Air Army. The unit lived at Chuguyevka Airbase. It’s worth noting that the Soviet Air Defence Forces were a separate aerial branch from the Soviet Air Force, and that its members were an elite and trusted band. As such, Belenko, too, would be trusted. So much so, that when his blood pressure was elevated on the morning he planned to escape, the...

Republicans get control of the House & the first they do is…No not explore how to tame inflation or crime etc. They launch an investigation of President & Hunter Biden. Boring. Divisive. Retro. Unwanted. Zero positive impact on the lives of Americans. Is this the real Red Wave?

Independent political analyst Dmitry Oreshkin attributed Putin’s silence to the fact he has built a political system akin to that of the Soviet Union, in which a leader — or “vozhd” in Russian, a term used to describe Josef Stalin — by definition is incapable of making mistakes. “Putin and Putin’s system … is built in a way that all defeats are blamed on someone else: enemies, traitors, a stab in the back, global Russophobia — anything, really,” Oreshkin said. “So if he lost somewhere, first, it’s untrue, and second — it wasn’t him.” When Russia’s top military brass announced...

Giorgia Meloni has become a bit of a cult figure in world politics since her right-wing coalition was swept into power back in the summer of 2022, much to the shock of many. Videos of her speaking about identity, illegal immigration, and transgenderism have gone viral, showing a woman who isn’t afraid to get in the ring and speak her mind. She may have done her best work in a recently unearthed, viral clip – thought to be from 2019 – where she absolutely eviscerated France’s Emmanuel Marcon, who’s previously taken jabs at Meloni. Watch the whole thing because it’s...

Bulgaria doesn’t send weapons to Ukraine but arms industry flourishes By Antonia Kotseva and Krassen Nikolov | EURACTIV.bg Oct 31, 2022 While Bulgaria and Hungary are the only NATO and EU countries that officially refuse to send military aid to Ukraine, Bulgaria was revealed to be one of the biggest indirect suppliers to the war-torn country, selling a record amount of weapons since the start of the war.

To change the sex identification on your Social Security record, you do not need to provide medical or legal evidence of your sex designation. You will need to provide evidence to prove your identity, and sometimes citizenship or immigration status. The sex identification, if shown on your evidence document, can be binary (male or female) or non-binary (such as X). The sex identification does not have to match the sex identification currently on your Social Security record, or the sex identification you request. Currently, our record systems require a sex designation of female or male, and cannot accommodate a non-binary...

Former President Obama said on Thursday that voters learned from Democrats’ losses in the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections that a party losing control of Congress in the midterms can limit a what a president can accomplish. Obama told Trevor Noah on “The Daily Show” that voters might have thought during those two midterms that the stakes were not high because he was the president.
