Tributes have been paid to a much-loved dad-of-two and grandad who died suddenly after a headache turned out to be a catastrophic brain injury. Daniel Dehavilland, known as Dan, from Bridgewater Road in Sheerness, was pronounced brain dead just hours after he returned home from his job at Teynham Construction complaining about “feeling dizzy”. The 44-year-old’s wife of 11 years, Melissa, 42, had returned home after taking their youngest son, Ollie, to the park. The six-year-old was the one who found his dad slumped over the bed barely responsive. Melissa’s sister, 41-year-old Michelle Dehavilland from Faversham, said: “He was very...

Former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer spoke out last week to support Justice Clarence Thomas. At an event for the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals, Breyer defended Thomas as a "man of integrity," casting doubt on allegations that Thomas is guilty of ethical — and even legal — transgressions. "As far as I’m concerned, I sat next to him on the bench for 28 years. I like him. He’s a friend of mine. I’ve never seen him do anything underhanded or say anything underhanded," Breyer said, according to Bloomberg Law. "My personal point of view is he’s a man...

And let's not forget who's responsible for this either: The so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" which every single person in Congress should be personally held responsible for, including their entire genetic line. The EPA is about to issue a monster rule that essentially requires the capture of all CO2 emitted by power plants. This is impossible to do at any economically-reasonable cost. It will force up power prices dramatically and likely force offline many natural gas power plants, along with all the remaining coal-fired ones. This in turn will make your "much loved" electric car much more expensive to fuel since...

“There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys,” Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told Breitbart News Sunday host Joel Pollak. Pollak asked Kennedy about his championing of free speech over big tech censorship. This is a topic for which the bestselling author, environmental lawyer, and child health advocate has firsthand experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Kennedy’s social media posts questioning the wisdom of the lockdowns were labeled “misinformation.”

Peruvian police were seen fending off a mob Thursday as they arrested a 42-year-old man alleged to have donned a schoolgirl uniform to take pictures of minors in the institute’s restroom.

A rat king, or “roi de rats” in French, is a collection of rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together. It typically occurs when young rats, sleeping together in close quarters, get their tails entangled, forming a knot. The tied tails are prone to being encrusted by dirt, or stuck together by substances such as sap, sebum, blood, food, faeces or urine. When the rats wake up and attempt to scurry away from each other, the knot then tightens, trapping them.

Tucker Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, sources tell DailyMail.com.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A new bill in the Oregon legislature is proposed as the Right to Rest Act. House Bill 3501 would decriminalize camping in public places. Under HB3501, homeless individuals would be able to have "a privacy interest and a reasonable expectation of privacy in any property belonging to the person, regardless of whether the property is located in a public space" – i.e., granting the individual rights to treat public spaces like a private residence "without discrimination and time limitations that are based on housing status."

In a new study, several researchers at CU Boulder reenacted a small part of a trek that people in what is today the Southwest United States may have made more than 1,000 years ago. Rodger Kram, associate professor emeritus of integrative physiology, and James Wilson, then an undergraduate studying biochemistry, spent the summer of 2020 training for an impressive test of endurance: Together, they carried a ponderosa pine log weighing more than 130 pounds for 15 miles up and down a forest road in Boulder County, Colorado—and they did it using only their heads in a technique inspired, in part,...

Every Republican debate will have a “conservative partner” associated, Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. When asked if the mainstream media will be part of any Republican debate, McDaniel admitted it will be difficult to do otherwise, as there are not enough conservative networks to work with. “You’ve seen that the first one we have Fox and Rumble, which is the first time the RNC has ever done that,” she explained. “We’re gonna livestream on Rumble, which is a conservative streaming platform on the RNC channel, and then Young America’s Foundation.”...

Vice President Kamala Harris mistakenly credited a nonexistent federal agency with approving mifepristone in 2000, the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion regimen. While speaking with Noticias Telemundo’s Vanessa Hauc in an interview that aired on Friday, Harris said the “Federal Drug Administration” is responsible for approving the abortion pill, Fox News reported. While the agency is not real, it would have the same abbreviation as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which did approve mifepristone:

The Biden administration has thrown its weight behind the Mountain Valley pipeline, a major natural gas project favored by West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and opposed by environmental advocates. The 303-mile pipeline and other natural gas projects like it will “play an important role” in supporting the transition to clean energy and in safeguarding the energy system, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a letter Friday evening to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
