Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president as a Democrat, according to paperwork filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission. Kennedy Jr. has not yet made a formal announcement. In a pinned post on his Twitter profile dated March 10, he directed supporters to the website TeamKennedy.com, which states it is funded by an exploratory committee. “If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I’ll jump in the race,” he wrote then.

Europe's mysterious "Little Ice Age" has been traced back to a massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia - thanks to Pink Floyd. It lasted centuries and led to the Thames Frost fairs, when the river froze over for months at a time - turning it into a skating rink. A generally warm medieval period was followed by a mostly cold spell - from the 14th to the 19th Centuries. The weather phenomenon has baffled climatologists for decades. A study - inspired by the 70s rock legends' Dark Side of the Moon - now shows it was triggered by a catastrophic eruption...

Ever since the first trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie dropped at New York Comic Con last fall, Nintendo fans have been expressing serious issues with Chris Pratt stepping into the role of the video game giant's mustachioed mascot. Specifically, they've been concerned about his speaking voice, which is a far cry from Italian-accented line readings like "It's-a me, Mario!" and "Let's-a go!" everyone knows and loves from Nintendo's deep bench of Super Mario games. But the Guardians of the Galaxy star feels that once they see the highly-anticipated animated movie, those concerns will vanish into one of the...

There is a hidden force always moving just beyond man’s field of view. It is like darkness wrapped inside the shadow whose soundless movement would be altogether unnoticeable were it not for the occasional misstep when both man and shadow fall out of sync with each other exposing the glitch in the fabric of our reality. However, as soon as you notice the incongruity, it simply vanishes like a whisp of smoke in the wind and things seem to go back to the way they always were. But they don’t. Things can’t go back to normal once you’ve peeked behind...

A California mother has filed a lawsuit against several different Shasta County institutions over the slaughtering of her 9-year-old daughter’s pet goat. Jessica Long originally filed the lawsuit in August against multiple sheriff's deputies; the lawsuit was amended last month to include the Shasta District Fair and Event Center (referred to as the Shasta Fair Association), the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department and Shasta County. It states that in July, two Shasta County sheriff’s deputies drove over 500 miles to Sonoma County to confiscate Long’s daughter’s pet goat, Cedar, and return him to the Shasta Fair Association to be slaughtered.

The International Court of Justice will now determine states' legal and financial obligations in preventing climate harm Various Catholic groups praised a United Nations' resolution that calls on the International Court of Justice to outline countries' obligations for protecting the earth's climate, and the legal consequences they face if they don't carry these out. The resolution was pushed by Pacific Islander youth and by the small island nation of Vanuatu, whose future is threatened by rising sea levels and cyclones. The U.N. General Assembly adopted the resolution by consensus March 29. The Laudato Si' Movement, an international network of Catholic...

Ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal posted her first social media message since former President Donald Trump’s indictment on Wednesday — writing cheekily, “Hope I didn’t miss anything.” The 52-year-old actress and one-time Playmate shared a photo of herself grinning and flashing a peace sign from a ski resort apparently in Vail, Colorado. “I’ve been out and about enjoying Gods country… I hope I didn’t miss anything 😊,” she posted. The subtle quip was a nod to the historic arrest of Trump in Manhattan Tuesday — a case in which she’s believed to be featured prominently. In the indictment, prosecutors allege that...

Boston, Mass., Apr 3, 2023 / 15:30 pm The pastor of a Catholic church in Syracuse, Nebraska, was shocked when he discovered Saturday morning that the altar had been tipped over, a statue desecrated, and several other objects damaged. “Somehow, in the Lord’s providence, this was allowed,” Father Ryan Salisbury, pastor of St. Paulinus Catholic Church, told CNA April 3. “It happened in Our Lord’s own Holy Week. His own journey was marked by injustice, by brokenness, and by damage done to his own body, and that was allowed to happen here in Syracuse in some ways,” he added. A...

Members of American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) Student Action questioned the educational value of these clubs and the threat they pose to students.(LifeSiteNews) — Two volunteers from the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) Student Action project spoke out last week against the increasingly popular “After School Satan Clubs” popping up at public schools across the country. The remarks were made during a school board meeting in Chesapeake, Virginia, where one of the Satan clubs was recently permitted to form, sparking backlash from the community. “The primary and basic...

"Queerfully and Wonderfully Made" encourages teens to "limit contact" with adults who do not affirm their choices. A sitting member of the Minnesota House of Representatives published a self-help book for Christian teens who are questioning their sexuality. Rep. Leigh Finke, DFL-St. Paul, a first-term legislator who is transgender and identifies as a woman, released a book in 2020 entitled, “Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Christian Teens.” “Queerfully and Wonderfully Made” contains almost no references to prayer and encourages teens to “limit contact” with adults who do not affirm their choices, including parents. “Please, if your parents...

During a recent episode of The Charlie Kirk show, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz discussed the likelihood of joining the legal team of former President Trump (who he’s represented before), as well as the chances of a Trump conviction. Kirk asked, “If you were personally called by President Trump to join his legal team, is that even something you’d entertain?” ... ... ... The law professor then made a bold prediction about Trump’s indictment. “I think he probably will be convicted by a New York jury who voted for Bragg and voted to get Trump. It will be reversed on...

NEW YORK – An investigation into a brawl at the end of a Feb. 15 soccer match in Florida between a Catholic and a Jewish high school, which many ascribe to antisemitic behavior from Catholic school students, has led the Archdiocese of Miami to apologize and to commit to new Jewish-based programming in its schools. In now-viral video from the end of the February state tournament match between Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School and the Scheck Hillel Community School, players from both teams are seen fighting near the sidelines. Both benches clear, and people jump down from the bleachers to...

The Lady Tigers apparently weren’t interested in a pep talk from First Lady Jill Biden before the NCAA championship game on Sunday. LSU star forward Angel Reese — who called the First Lady’s invitation for Iowa to visit the White House a “joke” — said the team declined to meet with her prior to defeating the Hawkeyes 102-85 in Dallas. “Apparently she was supposed to come to our locker room before the game but we said ‘no,'” Reese said on I Am Athlete’s “Paper Route” show on Tuesday, adding that the team did not directly speak with the First Lady....
