Tucker Carlson has been accused of promoting “antisemitic tropes” in his documentary Hungary vs Soros: The Fight for Civilization, which attacks the billionaire Democratic donor – and frequent target of antisemitic hate – George Soros. The film, which aired last week, sees Carlson, a Fox News host with a long history of inflammatory rightwing rhetoric, travel to Hungary, where he tees up a selection of politicians and commenters to attack Soros, a wealthy philanthropist who has donated billions of dollars to Democratic causes. Soros, who is Jewish and was born in Hungary, has been subjected to antisemitic attacks from conservatives...

Maybelline is facing calls for a boycott after a sponsorship with the transgender social-media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who posted a short video last month of herself applying the brand's cosmetics and "getting glam." The pushback comes as another major brand, Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light, is grappling with a boycott of its beer due to a similar partnership with Mulvaney. The uproar comes as conservative lawmakers in some U.S. states pass laws that restrict the rights of transgender people, such as a new measure in North Dakota that restricts transgender health care in the state. Brands both big and small often partner...

More than 200 self-acknowledged noncitizens have managed to register to vote in Arizona’s Maricopa County and at least nine of them have cast ballots in federal elections, according to a report that questions the federal law that pushes states to register more voters. The study is the first in a series of reports by the Public Interest Legal Foundation to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Motor Voter law, which requires states to allow people to register to vote at their local motor vehicle bureau offices. The law has increased registration but also has led to messy voter rolls....

Unsurprisingly, Fox News ratings suffered Monday night without the channel’s most watched host. After the surprise of Fox News and Tucker Carlson “agree[ing] to part ways” on Monday, the network’s 8 p.m. hour had a significantly smaller audience Monday night. The debut of Fox News Tonight, hosted by Brian Kilmeade (the first in a series of rotating hosts), pulled in just under 2.6 million viewers — about 21 percent below the average for Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.3 million viewers) over the past eight Mondays. Fox News Tonight also took a hit in the key news demographic of adults 25-54: Its...

The depth of effort to manipulate the American electorate, to continue the Big Club objective & illusion of choice, is remarkable when you stand back and look at the totality of it. It is not surprising when you understand how committed the power centers are; in fact, it’s just another step in a predictable sequence of events. However, for those who cling to disbelief out of their mistaken need to bury acceptance, the reality of the constructs become empirical data points in the awakening. As predicted, the Florida Senate has introduced a change to the vote and candidate laws in...

Glenique Frank, a biological male who identifies as a woman, has apologised for competing in the London Marathon in the female category after The Telegraph highlighted how the runner was able to exploit a loophole in UK Athletics’ updated transgender policy to take part.

Frank has committed not to run another race...

More than two decades after a promising vaccine for Lyme disease was pulled from the market, more tools to protect against the tick-borne illness —including a new shot — are on the horizon. Why it matters: There's worldwide concern about how climate change is helping drive the proliferation of ticks and transforming Lyme disease from a regional summertime nuisance into a year-round health threat that can damage the nervous system and require several weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy. "Untreated, Lyme disease can be very serious," Leana Wen, an emergency physician and a professor at George Washington University, told Axios Today....

Dr Anthony Fauci said data, evidence frequently changed as pandemic ragedDr. Anthony Fauci struck a defensive tone during a recent interview in which he reflected on his and the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, admitting that mistakes were made despite his best efforts. "Show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did," Fauci said when asked about the consequences of "heavy-handed" public health policies in a New York Times interview published Tuesday. "I gave a public health recommendation that echoed the CDC’s recommendation, and people made a...

[Catholic Caucus] Now That We See the Fruits of Rejecting Catholic Truth, How Do We Recover?In his 1951 encyclical on the promotion of Catholic missions, Evangelii Praecones, Pope Pius XII wrote of the great spiritual battle that was raging over seventy years ago:“Venerable Brethren, you are well aware that almost the whole human race is today allowing itself to be driven into two opposing camps, for Christ or against Christ. The human race is involved today in a supreme crisis, which will issue in its salvation by Christ, or in its dire destruction. The preachers of the Gospel are using...

Pro-transgender protesters in Montana forced the House to halt its proceedings after Republicans led an effort to censure Rep. Zooey Zephyr (D), a transgender member, after accusing them of having blood on their hands for passing a bill that stops children from receiving life altering medical treatment in the name of transgenderism. Zephyr's supporters in the viewing gallery shouted and chanted to show solidarity, forcing the House to suspend its proceedings until the agitators could be removed. Some of the protesters resisted being pushed out by the Montana Highway Patrol, with others banging on the doors to the gallery. At...

Four in ten Brits claim they have no idea that electrical appliances still cost money when simply left on standby, or switched on at the mainsCoffee machines, electric cookers, and washing machines are the top electrical appliances that cost Brits the most money – whilst not even in use, a study has found. Two in five adults claim they have no idea that their home appliances continue to draw energy from the mains simply from being plugged in, with the plug switch left turned on. This is costing the nation's homes an extra £513,766,000 a year in energy costs –...

An American TikToker who lost 60lbs while on Ozempic claims her hairline has receded so much she now has to cover it with makeup.

The groundbreaking show followed the lives of lesbian friends in Los Angeles, struggling with romance and careers.

"His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. "For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world."

As Tennessee’s legislature wrapped up year one of the 113th General Assembly on Friday, they did so without taking up gun legislation called to be enacted by state Democrats and Republican Gov. Bill Lee. There wasn’t a lack of time, as many more days were allotted to finish the state’s business. The House clerk told the legislature last week that between the two years, the legislature had 90 days to be in session—with the state House using 27 and the Senate using 32 this year. Less than two hours after both chambers gaveled out of session until January 2024, Lee...
