“The U.S. should be mindful that no matter how desperately it may seek to disarm (North Korea), it can never deprive (North Korea) of its right to self-defense and that the more hell-bent it gets on the anti-(North Korea) acts, it will face a more fatal security crisis,” she said in a statement carried by state media.

Bad news for the future of medicine and the future of human life. While radical politics had consumed the ‘soft sciences’ and most impractical academic fields, the practical ones, especially the sciences, were generally intact. In the last decade, all of academia has crumbled.Quotas are everywhere and woke mandates have displaced academic ones.That means people will die. Because we’ll have doctors who got there by talking about their victimhood, but are not qualified to do anything more than posture and virtue signal about their pain.Forty-four percent of medical schools have tenure and promotion policies that reward scholarship on “diversity, inclusion,...

A proud mom with 12 kids has revealed she constantly faces scrutiny from people telling her she should be “sterilized” and seek “psychiatric help” — but she still wants another kid. TikTok user @clutteredmother — who has 36,400 followers and 545,800 likes — regularly shares videos of her large family, and is often hit with backlash over her baby daddy’s “pregnancy fetish.” She recently responded to the hate in a video of her pretending to crack her bones, writing “When people tell me I need to be sterilized,” before adding while holding five of her kids: “Actually, can I have...

Saudi Arabia has executed 12 people in 10 days despite the Crown Prince's promise to cut down on such form of punishment, according to a human rights organisation. Reprieve said the defendants, all males, were sentenced to death after being imprisoned for non-violent drug offences. According to the non-profit organisation, which gathered data on this week's executions, most of the defendants were beheaded with a sword. Three of the men executed were Pakistani, four Syrian, two Jordanian and three Saudi, Reprieve said. Another man from Jordan was reportedly transferred to a prison wing and is due to be executed on...

In an op-ed for Christianity Today, Carl H. Esbeck, R. B. Price Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Missouri, offers a positive assessment of the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA). He writes, “All in all, RMA is a modest but good day’s work. It shows that religious liberty champions and LGBT advocates can work together for the common good.”With due respect to Prof. Esbeck’s legal knowledge, I categorically differ from his assessment.I have already challenged the Republican senators who voted to advance the bill this week. Here, I want to focus on Prof. Esbeck’s reasoning.He writes, “Some conservatives...

Argentina's shellshocked fans have reacted with disbelief after Lionel Messi and his superstar teammates suffered one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history with a shock defeat to international minnows Saudi Arabia.

Americans will soon be gathering for their Thanksgiving feast. But there are certain “Turkey Day” dishes that many people aren’t thankful to see on the table or their plate. A travel website, The Vacationer, surveyed 1,092 adults to find the most disliked Thanksgiving foods. Cranberry sauce tops the list with nearly 30% of those surveyed opting to pass on it. The second most disliked food is Turkey! Yes, turkey!!! (Whaaat??) Followed by sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and stuffing (or dressing for those of you in the South). So, if you’re doing the cooking this year, take note, plan accordingly...

Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX, his parents and senior executives of the failed cryptocurrency exchange bought at least 19 properties worth nearly $121 million in the Bahamas over the past two years, official property records show. Most of FTX's purchases were luxury beachfront homes, including seven condominiums in an expensive resort community called Albany, costing almost $72 million. The deeds show these properties, bought by a unit of FTX, were to be used as "residence for key personnel" of the company. Reuters could not determine who lived in the apartments.

In June, three doctors filed a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for interfering with using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. All three were disciplined for prescribing human-grade ivermectin to treat patients. The attorney for the physicians, Boyden Gray, asserted the FDA’s actions regarding ivermectin went against well-established law and practice regarding the off-label use of FDA-approved drugs. When the suit was filed, Gray told the Epoch Times, “Congress recognized the importance of letting doctors be doctors and expressly prohibited the FDA from interfering with the practice of medicine.” He continued, “That is exactly what the FDA has done...

his report originally ran on October 26, 2020, a week before the election. The tech giants censored it. The fake news mainstream media ignored it. Twitter deleted Joe Hoft’s account for posting reports like this from Hunter Biden’s laptop. In case you missed it, we are running this again. ************************************************************* Yesterday we reported on former VP Joe Biden who snapped at a reporter who dared to ask him about his son Hunter. But VP Biden can’t get out of this one. Biden did not let WYOU reporter Andy Mehalshick get through his question before snapping during an event on Saturday....

Free, small-d democratic societies are degenerating into tyrannies before our very eyes. Even as our own dominant media ignore the obvious, people around the world are noticing. As reported by Susan D. Harris today, the new government in Brazil, following an election that has been widely disputed as fixed by millions of demonstrators, has learned from the totalitarian response of the Trudeau government in Canada, seizing bank accounts of protestors in that nation’s Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, and is trying to take away demonstrators’ children from custody of their parents. Demonization and confiscation of the assets of regime opponents are...

Socrates defines individual justice as “What is good for the individual soul.” He defines justice for the community as “Each person doing their part in a way that others do not interfere with their societal roles.” Social justice as applied in the United States fails to meet either definition of justice. Social justice policies have caused massive property destruction, increased crime, increased inequities, and increased racism. Rather than meeting Socrates’ definition of justice, they embody injustice by their very nature. These policies cause both individual harm and cripple many of the essential functions of society. In 2020, businesses and neighborhoods...

Calls to hold FTX and its now-disgraced founder accountable continue to mount, but it remains to be seen whether Bankman-Fried's political donations and connections can help him avoid maximum punishment. … An estimated $57 million went to Democrat candidates and groups, while roughly $22 million went to Republican candidates and groups. … Plenty of Republicans also received his money, including Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). His biggest right-wing check was a $105,000 check to the Alabama Conservatives Fund. Salame, meanwhile, gave $2.5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, which is connected to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

It’s been widely reported that former billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, the now-bankrupt guru behind the cryptocurrency FTX, was a major player on the Democrats’ fundraising landscape. He funneled more money to left-wingers than everyone except their favored multi-billionaire George Soros.

Prosecutors have charged a five-time felon with armed carjacking after he allegedly showed up in court to support one of his accomplices and authorities recognized him by his facial tattoos. Fabian Alonzo, who has said he prefers to target Hispanic people because they are less likely to cooperate with authorities if they’re in the country illegally, also committed an armed robbery outside a Wicker Park Mexican restaurant shortly before the hijacking, prosecutors said. Around 3:40 a.m. on September 18, Alonzo and three accomplices committed an armed robbery outside El Mexico Moderno, 1247 North Ashland, prosecutors said during a bail hearing...

The Richard Nixon Foundation, created to memorialize the achievements of the 37th president of the United States, recently commemorated the 50th anniversary of his historic opening to China.

Kissinger noted that Nixon came into office at a fraught moment for U.S. foreign policy, facing issues in Vietnam, the Middle East and the Soviet...
