Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell did not react kindly to Republican Texas Rep. Troy Nehls’ comments at a Wednesday Congressional hearing about Swalwell’s alleged relationship with a Chinese spy. Swalwell and Nehls participated in a hearing about the exploitation of unaccompanied migrant children held by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. “Ms. Rodriguez, I apologize that you had to — you’re here for a hearing on the border, they don’t want to talk about a border. Mr. Swalwell is down there, obviously everybody knows he’s made some comments, he’s got a checkered past,” Nehls said as...

Dekalb's Board of Elections gained national attention last year when it was discovered they were considering engaging in a contract with Konnech, a Michigan-based company which was reportedly passing personal identifying information on election workers to contractors in mainland China. Despite pleas from the public and their own poll workers, Dekalb chose to plow ahead, ignoring the fact that a number of other Counties and Cities had already terminated their contracts with Konnech. Since that time a former employee turned whistleblower has filed suit against Konnech and filed affidavits showing the concerns about data being sent to China appear well-founded....

A Massachusetts prison was left in tatters following a six-hour standoff between inmates and staff, where the prisoners trashed the facility and brandished sharpened furniture as weapons. Shocking photos recently released by police show the aftermath of the standoff that broke out in two housing units at the Bristol County House of Correction on Friday, with rows of hallways and rooms left completely in ruin. Along with the destroyed doors and windows — and trash that was littered everywhere — the photos show the makeshift hammers, axes and shivs. Altogether, officials say the inmates caused about $200,000 worth of damages...

Fox News Tonight's viewer count plummeted by about 700,000 on Monday night (24 April) following the ousting of host Tucker Carlson. It was announced that same morning by Fox that Carlson would be leaving the network with immediate effect. The decision was a shock to Fox News viewers - and likely to Carlson, who appeared to be unaware that he was leaving during his last show. On average, Carlson's programme had been earning about 3.3 millions viewers per night before his departure - people just love hearing his hot takes on M&Ms and climate change. But, according to TVNewser, approximately...

Top elements of the Russian political and business segments are afraid for their future after a possible Russian defeat and are therefore seeking contact to Ukraine and other countries, said Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. "They are looking for ways out, of course. And not only with Ukraine. The geography in which they are trying to get personal security guarantees for themselves, for their fortunes, for their families is quite wide," according to Yusov.

Presidents Joe Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday will sign an agreement that includes plans to have U.S. nuclear-armed submarines dock in South Korea for the first time in more than 40 years, a conspicuous show of support to Seoul amid growing concern about nuclear threats by North Korea, according to senior Biden administration officials. The planned dock visits are a key element of what’s being dubbed the “Washington Declaration,” aimed at deterring North Korea from carrying out an attack on its neighbor.

“Donald Trump was being very light. It was very joshing and very funny,” she said. “I was flirting the whole time, probably.” But, she said, the mood changed rapidly after they stepped into the dressing room. “He immediately shut the door and shoved me up against the wall. He shoved me so hard my head banged. I was extremely confused,” she said. “I pushed back and he thrust me back against the wall again, banging my head again.” Carroll told the jury the situation “turned absolutely dark”. “He leaned down and pulled down my tights,” she said. “I was pushing...

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday narrowly passed a bill to raise the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, defying President Joe Biden by attaching sweeping spending cuts for the next decade.

I am a Democrat, and I think you, as an average American, are an idiot. You let me get away with everything. I can tell you I’m going to do something unethical, criminal, unconstitutional, or unprecedent6ed, and you seldom try to stop me, or call me out on it. I control the news cycle and my loyal press puppets repeat whatever I say without question. Every time you get any attention complaining about me, I just do something else to distract and reset the news again.

Death seems to follow Victoria Nuland wherever she goes. Whether it’s in Ukraine or in Sudan, people die. Victoria Nuland was known as the midwife of Maidan – the Obama-Biden point person reportedly running the overthrow of the Ukrainian Presidency in 2013-14.Ukraine 2014 Coup d’étatAfter violent events associated with the Maidan revolution protests, Ukraine’s parliament ousted President Viktor Yanukovich in February 2014 and replaced him with Petro Poroshenko.

On Wednesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten appeared in a House hearing held by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic to discuss the impact of school closures due to COVID-19. In the hearing, Weingarten was pressed about the union’s influence on the federal government during this decision making process throughout the pandemic. In her opening remarks at the hearing, Weingarten claimed that in-person learning was the driving force behind the decisions made during the pandemic about school closures and re-openings.

On the morning of this date in 1916, British Captain John Bowen-Colthurst ordered the summary execution of three Irish journalists in his custody: part of a still-notorious murderous rampage through Dublin amid the Easter Rising. Bowen-Colthurst’s subsequent “insanity” skate has been a sore subject in the century since its predictable enactment. The product of landed Anglo-Irish elites — his childhood manor, Dripsey Castle, still stands — had trotted the globe in service of the empire: the Boer Wars, India, Tibet, and the western front. It’s the sort of background that should have made Bowen-Colthurst a calm hand in a tight...

Republicans in Montana’s House of Representatives voted Wednesday to ban a Democratic transgender lawmaker from the chamber, following her support for protesters who shut down the body's proceedings earlier in the week.

A cheat sheet held by President Biden during a Wednesday press conference revealed that the 80-year-old commander in chief had advance knowledge of a question from a journalist. “How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?” read a question from Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian. The revelation came during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol that discussed growing nuclear threats from North Korea — as the nations celebrate the 70th anniversary of their alliance. Another cheat sheet showed the names of other Biden administration officials...

"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. "When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth...
