An outraged mother is calling for the bullies that traumatized her disabled son by using his wheelchair while making fun of him to face consequences. Kimberly Mitchell of Louisiana sent a letter addressing a recent 'senior prank' at Abbeville High School in which students mocked her son Tay'Shawn Landry, who has cerebral palsy and requires a motorized wheelchair. In the videos, a group is seen in the school wreaking havoc by covering a hallway in toilet paper, stacking desks and chairs on top of each other, and riding around in the wheelchair. One video shared by the mother shows a...

The Last Days | Chris Reed Prophecy, the Last Days, and more! Chris Reed reveals what the Lord has been showing him and shares insight for navigating the rapidly changing times we live in

For half a century, Gursaran Pran Talwar has been developing what he hopes will be the next big thing in birth control. A nonagenarian who was once the director of India’s National Institute of Immunology, Talwar envisions bringing to market a new form of contraception that could block pregnancy without the usual trade-offs—an intervention that’s long-acting but reversible; cheap, discreet, and easy to administer; less invasive than an intrauterine device and more convenient than a daily pill. It would skip messy, sometimes dangerous side effects, such as weight gain, mood swings, and rare but risky blood clots and strokes. It...

The interceptions are an embarrassment for the Russian military. Back in 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin billed the Dagger, or Kinzhal in Russian, as a “next-generation” Russian weapon. Russian officials claimed that the missile can go 10 times faster than the speed of sound, reach any point in Ukraine, and is able to evade all but the most sophisticated air defense systems. Experts questioned those claims, arguing that the missile is just a modification of an existing missile that Putin was trying to rebrand. Russian officials must be reeling in utter disbelief after seven of their most sophisticated missiles were...

On this day in 1521, Edward Stafford, 43, third duke of Buckingham, was beheaded on Tower Hill outside the Tower of London, found guilty of high treason against Henry VIII. In Shakespeare’s play Henry VIII, the king said of Buckingham, “He hath into monstrous habits put the graces that were once his, and is become as black as if besmear’d in hell.” Today few believe that the duke actively plotted to overthrow his king. But Edward Stafford was guilty nonetheless — of being too noble, too rich and too arrogant to survive in the increasingly paranoid court of Henry VIII,...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Michael Adams, Kentucky’s incumbent secretary of state, easily won the Republican primary on Tuesday against two challengers. Adams had garnered 63.9% percent of the vote by 7:02 p.m. The Associated Press called the race at that point. He will face Democratic opponent Buddy Wheatley, a former state House member from Covington, in the November election. As the state’s chief elections official, Adams ran for reelection on accomplishments ranging from increased early voting to removing dead voters from voting lists. But he attracted two primary challengers -- Steve Knipper, who campaigned on unproven claims about Kentucky election...

[Catholic Caucus] Love Me, Love My Sins?Fr. James Martin seems to think that LGBTQ+ love is a special way of loving that shouldn’t be governed by the rules that apply to others.“We are all sinners.” It’s true, of course; but it’s a phrase that can become a platitude when it’s overused. Currently, the phrase “We’re all sinners” seems to pop up rather frequently in discussions about transgenderism and other deviations from one-man/one-woman unions. When Catholics who are faithful to Church teaching on sexuality write about transgenderism and other forms of LGBTQ+ sexuality, they almost invariably include an apology for having...

New York is sinking, and its skyscrapers are bringing it down. That's the finding of a new study that modeled the geology beneath the city compared to satellite data showing its footprint is collapsing into Earth. Technically called subsidence, this gradual settling or sudden sinking of Earth's surface occurs when soft sediments shift, or loads bearing down on the ground push it deeper still. There are many causes, but the weight of cities themselves is rarely studied. New York is sinking at a rate of 1-2 millimeters per year, the study found, under the weight of its sky-high buildings. A...

An Indiana father who adopted a six-year-old Ukrainian girl with his wife 2010, only to then come to believe she was an adult dwarf set on harming them, has claimed she threatened to kill someone in their home. Michael Barnett says Natalia Grace told him: 'I promise you within five years someone is dead.' He has spoken out in a new documentary entitled The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, which will be released in three parts on Investigation Discovery (ID) starting on May 29. Barnett and his wife, Kristine, petitioned to have Natalia Grace's birth certificate changed and a judge...

Change has been the name of the game for the Riverbend Festival in recent years, and the changes keep coming as the Bud Light Stage has been renamed the Ultra Stage. The change was made at the request of TriStar Beverage of Chattanooga, the distributor for both Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, according to Friends of the Festival Executive Director Mickey McCamish. He said in a text the change request was made last year. "Michelob Ultra is the most requested beer among our guests," McCamish said. "When we met with the sponsor last fall, we made the request to have...

As conservatives rally around social issues, the Republican Party is clashing with corporate America. Will the fights break its longstanding alliance with big business? At the home of Sarah Fields, a conservative activist and mum-of-three from Texas, some of America's biggest brands are no longer welcome. She cut out Disney first, turned off by children's shows featuring gay couples. Her boycotts of Olay skin products and beers from Bud Light-maker Anheuser-Busch began more recently, after she learned they had worked with transgender social media star Dylan Mulvaney. "My thing is protecting kids and the very first time I ever saw...

Firebrand congresswoman Lauren Boebert filed for divorce from her husband after 18 years of marriage Tuesday – bizarrely stressing in a statement that she has 'always been faithful.' And in an exclusive text to DailyMail.com, hubby Jayson, 42, said: 'I am torn by this a very sad thing. A horrible moment in my life. 'I love her too much to say anything bad about her. She is the mother of my children and my partner for the last 20 years. Please just let me have some peace.' Boebert, 36, cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for filing. A court hearing...

Controversial influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been added to the promotional campaign for Lionsgate's struggling adaptation of Judy Blume's seminal novel 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.' The film, which stars Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates and tells the story of the title character's dealing with faith and puberty in New Jersey, has struggled to date at the box office, earning just $16million in three weeks. Despite the films 99 percent critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes - along with an equally impressive 94 percent audience score - the film hasn't come close to making back its $30million budget. That has...

Some Senate Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to “use” the 14th Amendment to raise the debt limit by executive decree. For example, Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) stated:“The 14th Amendment is not anyone’s first choice. The first choice is that the Republicans raise the debt ceiling because the United States government never, ever, ever, ever defaults on its legal obligations. But if Kevin McCarthy is going to push the United States over a cliff, then it becomes the president’s responsibility to find an alternative path.”As a former law professor and a senator for more than 10 years, Warren almost certainly knows...

In a development straight out of a dystopian sci-fi thriller, fast food giant Wendy’s has embarked on a chilling experiment, replacing its drive-through order takers with an AI chatbot powered by Google software. This technological takeover aims to streamline the ordering process by training the AI to understand customer requests and decrease waiting times at the drive-throughs. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, Wendy’s is set to launch this eerie transformation in its home state of Ohio, starting with locations in Columbus. The company plans to implement the change in June, all in the name of shorter lines...

Hillary Clinton lied. She knew Donald Trump was not a Russian spy. Trump knew she was lying. The FBI knew she lied but went after Trump anyway. The CIA knew she lied. President Barack Obama knew she lied. Joe Biden knew she lied. The FBI covered up for her. The CIA covered up for her. The DOJ covered up for her. Barack Obama covered for her and so did Joe Biden. “We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are...

After more than three and a half years and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, special counsel John Durham has issued a 300-page report on how the FBI botched the Russian Collusion investigation. You may remember another special counsel, Robert Mueller, who found out after spending tens of millions of dollars that the Trump campaign had nothing to do with plots from Russia and that the entire thing was engineered by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The FBI, of course, knew that early on, but the bureau chose to probe the matter anyway to make Donald Trump look bad and possibly...
