The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Thursday took great exception to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky telling the U.S. Congress that Iran is supplying Russia with combat drones for use against Zelensky’s people. Iran leveled unspecified threats against Zelensky if he continues making the allegations. “Mr. Zelensky had better know that Iran’s strategic patience over such unfounded accusations is not endless,” railed Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani.

Last week we learned that most of the major details of George Santos biography appear to be invented. Specifically, the claim that he attended Baruch college but the college has no record of it. He also claimed he worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs and they also have no record of it. Since then the story has only gotten worse. Yesterday, Forward reported that Santos claims about his Jewish grandparents fleeing persecution during WWII seems to be made up as well.The very first line of the “About George” page on his campaign website states: “George’s grandparents fled Jewish persecution in...

When I first moved to the United States I did what any new arrival should do. I read about the country. And the first book I chose was Paul Johnson’s “A History of the American People.” Published 25 years ago, it has a memorable opening line: “The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures.” Just one thing that struck this then new arrival was that 25 years later it would be almost impossible for a book about this great country to begin with such a positive line. Even in the period I have...

Chicago-based Thomas More Society says the number of displays is notable despite the secularization of ChristmasPrivate citizen groups have arranged for Nativity scenes to be on display at 43 state capitols around the country, a record number, according to a not-for-profit law firm's tally.

Clown World shared a video of two trans-women playing totally and completely embarrassing caricatures of girls (giggling, wearing sunglasses, talking like 12-year-old girls) and Dean Cain was good enough to point out the reality of the video. Oh yeah, one of the ‘girls’ is Dylan Mulvaney, the trans-activist Biden welcomed to the White House. I think… neither of you are girls. https://t.co/PIE9KvpcMV — Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) December 19, 2022 Sadly (not sadly), the video is gone. But Dean’s comment still stands. For whatever reason, the latest Lefty mantra is that men who pretend to be women, who think they’re acting...

According to local sources, the prelate died in Shaanxi, aged 77. Secretly ordained in 2005 as coadjutor of Mgr Liang Xisheng, who passed away two years later, Bishop Gao was never recognised by Chinese authorities. The "official" see of the Archdiocese of Kaifeng (Henan) has been vacant since the death of its illegitimate bishop in 2001. Home to PIME missionaries until they were driven out by communist persecution, its history goes back a long way.Milan (AsiaNews) – Mgr Joseph Gao Hongxiao, a member of the Order of Friars Minor and "underground" bishop of the Archdiocese of Kaifeng (Henan Province), passed...

ROME (AP) — Opposition lawmakers in Italy are seeking a parliamentary commission of inquiry into three cold cases that have consumed the Italian public’s imagination for decades, including the 1983 disappearance of a 15-year-old that was highlighted in the Netflix documentary, “Vatican Girl.”The aim of the inquest, said Sen. Carlo Calenda, would be to pressure the Vatican to finally turn over everything it knows about Emanuela Orlandi’s disappearance to Italian law enforcement authorities, saying its longstanding official claim of ignorance was “hardly credible.” “We are a great secular nation that treats the Vatican with respect, but this case certainly cannot...

In the Anavlochos mountain range in eastern Crete, archaeologists have found hundreds of ancient terracotta fragments, mostly from female figurines, that were left as votive offerings in natural rock cavities in the seventh century B.C. Within one of these cavities was a more peculiar collection of well-worn objects, including a terracotta plaque of a woman and a steatite bead that likely both date to the eighth century B.C., as well as a seventh-century B.C. terracotta horse figurine. The cavity also contained a three-sided Minoan sealstone dating to between 1850 and 1700 B.C.—at least 1,000 years earlier than the other items....

WASHINGTON — Dozens of former national security officials have gone to work for Facebook and Twitter after leaving government service, raising concerns about the influence of their onetime agencies over the social media giants. At Twitter alone, at least eight former FBI agents work at the company’s so-called “trust” and “security” divisions — including its product policy manager Greg Anderson, who previously worked on “psychological operations” at the National Security Council, The Post has learned. Another is Matthew Williams, the company’s co-lead of its Trust and Safety department who spent more that 15 years in intelligence with the agency. The...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a courtroom that quickly turned chaotic after a trial that seethed with tension both cultural and personal, a Los Angeles jury on Friday found rapper Tory Lanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion, which left her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet and could send him to prison for more than 20 years. Lanez, who was put in handcuffs and led to jail while wearing a powder pink coat with matching pants, showed no visible reaction as the verdict was read. But moments later after the...

45th President Donald Trump says the proposed “Electoral Count Reform Act” proves that he and other constitutional lawyers were correct in their legal opinion regarding the Vice President’s role in certifying presidential elections.According to constitutional attorneys, whose analysis of the Electoral Count Act of 1887 was pointed to by the former president in the aftermath of the controversial 2020 Presidential Election, the Vice President has the authority to reject a state’s slate of electoral votes in the event that voter fraud, or other election-related discrepancies delegitimize the election results.In such an event, according to the legal opinion, the Vice President...

call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

The federal government has reminded student-loan borrowers that they don't need to worry about repaying their debt in January. While lawsuits against President Joe Biden's targeted loan relief are pending in court, the Department of Education pointed out that borrowers can hold off on making payments for a little while longer. "You will NOT have to make your loan payments that would have been restarted in January," the Education Department said in an email sent to borrowers Friday morning. "We don't think it is right to ask borrowers to pay on loans they wouldn't have to pay were it not...

The Mujahedin al Khalq, or MKO, is, after the Iranian regime itself, the most hated group inside Iran. It allied with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to enable the Islamic Revolution but, after a falling out, launched a terrorist campaign inside Iran. The MKO also cast its lot with Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Its leader, Maryam Rajavi, rules with an iron fist over the organization and insists upon the same head covering that Iranians risk their lives to shed. Far from supporting women’s rights, the group tells women whom they can marry and forcibly divorces them. In short, it is a cult
