Robert F. Kennedy's daughter has revealed she'll honor Prince Harry and Meghan for their 'heroic' stance against the 'structural racism' of the royal family at a NYC gala in her father's honor.

England and Wales fans landed in Qatar yesterday amid a ‘desert storm’ of rows over accommodation, alcohol and overcrowding. Supporters were greeted by blazing temperatures of 34C (93F) in the capital city Doha, which is hosting the first World Cup in a Middle Eastern country. As football’s greatest show on earth gets under way this afternoon, Qatar’s rulers were already in damage-limitation mode as the first fans began to upload footage of ‘hellish’ conditions in the accommodation villages.

FTX is at least a candidate for biggest money scandal in the history of the world. And FTX, Ukraine, and the de-MoKKKer-Rat party are absolutely and totally joined at the hips. If you support Ukraine, you also support gangsterism, "corruption on an industrial scale" (as the German news mag Die Welt puts it), and the US demokkkrat party.

There's still a lot of conference title races hanging in the balance heading into the final week of the college football season. The conference title games in seven of the 10 conferences at the top level of college football have yet to be finalized through the first 12 weeks of the season.

Jesus Christ is King of Thieves, though He never stole. He is savior of sinners, though He never sinned.Today’s Gospel chosen presents Jesus as reigning from the cross. Nothing could be more paradoxical. Let’s look at it from four perspectives:Vision –Today’s Gospel presents a vision or image of the Church.We like to think of more pleasant images: the Church is the Bride of Christ or the Body of Christ. Today’s image is more humbling to be sure: the Church is Christ, crucified between two thieves.Yes, this is the Church too. In a way, we are all thieves.We are all...

TOYOTA IS ON TOP Last year's second-place finisher has replaced its sister luxury brand Lexus at the top of Consumer Report's reliability ranking list. The two tied with a rounded-up predicted reliability score of 72, but Toyota was a few decimals better, and they were followed by BMW (65), Mazda (65) and Honda (62). The study surveyed more than 300,000 owners of 2000 to early 2023 model year cars about 17 potential problem areas. " Consumers tell us reliability is one of the most important factors when buying a car," Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer...

Christians are a persecuted minority in Melbourne, Australia, ruled over by governments headed by two Socialist Left politicians Anthony Albanese, federally, and Premier Daniel Michael Andrews at state level. May God Bless the anonymous woman in this post who proudly carries her Christian faith into the heart of an otherwise much less devout Melbourne freedom movement. Please pray for her.

Stick a fiscal fork in ’em: These student loan debtors are done.As they contend with a second legal setback to President Biden’s estimated $430 billion student debt cancellation plan, some exasperated borrowers told The Post they won’t ever pay another penny toward their massive tabs — regardless of how it might impact their future finances. Rather than having up to $20,000 forgiven as Biden vowed in August, the fed-up debtors remain among the more than 45 million borrowers who owe a total of $1.6 trillion in federal student loans. The average undergraduate borrower leaves college with nearly $25,000 in debt,...

Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, announced on Saturday night that he would reinstate the account of former US President Donald Trump, a day after running a poll on his Twitter account, asking users whether he should do so. “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated,” he wrote. Musk originally posted the poll on Friday night, and later added, “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people is the voice of God.” When the 24-hour poll closed on Saturday night, 51.8% of respondents had voted in favor of reinstating Trump and 48.2% said they did...

The three major summits of world leaders that took place across Asia in the past week have made one thing clear: Vladimir Putin is now sidelined on the world stage. Putin, whose attack on Ukraine over the past nine months has devastated the European country and roiled the global economy, declined to attend any of the diplomatic gatherings – and instead found himself subject to significant censure as international opposition to his war appeared to harden. A meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders in Bangkok closed on Saturday with a declaration that references nations’ stances expressed in other...

Twitter may often be a cesspool of toxic digital waste, but it also serves as a kind of public record of historical events. Case in point: Donald Trump’s resurfaced tweets from January 6, 2021.Now that his account has been reinstated, the entire world can access the trove of Trump’s tweets — the good, the bad and the covfefe. Conservatives are flooding their tweet streams tonight with retweets of two messages Trump sent on January 6, and they paint a picture far different from what libs like AOC and lame ducks like Liz Cheney would have you believe.After nearly two long...

The leadership elections in the House and Senate were only the opening salvo in what promises to be a long, drawn-out struggle for the soul of the Republican Party, running at least through the 2024 presidential election. You might consider Donald Trump to have fired the first shot when he announced his intention to seek the GOP nomination for president. While most observers see Trump’s announcement and effort to win the nomination as an uphill battle, others, like MyPillow maker Mike Lindell, see Trump’s candidacy as a coronation. “After he announces today, I think [Florida governor] Ron DeSantis will end...
