Governor Ron DeSantis’s chief strategist – Jeff Roe – is being sued by a group of “teachers, families, and businesses” in Nevada over a botched ballot initiative, with a company under his direction allegedly delivering campaign data riddled with bogus, obscene signatures. One bizarre complaint in the lawsuit filed in May is that some of the paperwork provided by Roe’s firm Axiom Strategies even “smelled like bong water”.DeFrauded?The Community Schools Initiative (CSI) hired Vanguard – a “subsidiary or alter ego of Axiom and [Jeff] Roe” – for a Clark County (NV) ballot initiative to “allow cities and municipalities to opt-out...

WHT? SA is the capital of "If it bleeds, it leads", but this is ridiculous. My receptionist's kid was at North Star Mall when it happened and did the right thing: went back into the store she was in and out the back entrance of the store, avoiding a lot of the chaos. And people still think that CC everywhere is an overreaction or paranoia...

Fox News is shaking up its weekend lineup in the wake of the departures of two hosts, Steve Hilton and Dan Bongino. Bongino, who hosted a Saturday night show, left the network last month after the two parties couldn’t reach an agreement on terms. The departure of Hilton is equally un-dramatic: he’s leaving his 9 p.m. Sunday show to dedicate himself full-time to what Fox described as a “new California non-partisan policy organization launching next week.” He will remain with the network as a contributor. In light of those departures, Fox announced a new lineup starting this weekend. The network...

Exploring the Theological Heritage of Francis’s Most Recent Attack on Proselytism“[I]n spreading religious faith and in introducing religious practices everyone ought at all times to refrain from any manner of action which might seem to carry a hint of coercion or of a kind of persuasion that would be dishonorable or unworthy, especially when dealing with poor or uneducated people.” (Vatican II’s Declaration on Religious Freedom, Dignitatis Humanae) In a May 29, 2023 audience, Francis recounted one of his characteristically hostile attacks on Catholics who engage in proselytism:“I had a bad experience in this, in a youth meeting, some years...

Former Vice President Mike Pence reiterated his call on Republicans to resist what he called the “siren song of populism” during the 2024 presidential race, signaling that it will be his theme throughout his rumored run.Pence issued his plea when speaking during Republican Sen. Joni Ernst’s annual “Roast and Ride” fundraiser in Des Moines, Iowa.“I believe we have to resist the politics of personality and the siren song of populism unmoored to timeless conservative principles, and we need to stand firm on the conservative agenda of life and liberty and a commitment to freedom that has always led us to...

Over the past decade, the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized treatment for patients with advanced lung cancer, helping many live longer lives and improving overall survival for the disease. However, an important question has remained unanswered: How long should a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who receives immunotherapy as part of their initial treatment, continue with treatment? A new retrospective cohort study suggests that it's reasonable to stop immunotherapy treatment at two years as long as their cancer hasn't progressed. The researchers found no statistically significant difference in overall survival between patients who stopped treatment...

Troops’ use of patches bearing Nazi emblems risks fueling Russian propaganda and spreading imagery that the West has spent a half-century trying to eliminate. Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine last year, the Ukrainian government and NATO allies have posted, then quietly deleted, three seemingly innocuous photographs from their social media feeds: a soldier standing in a group, another resting in a trench and an emergency worker posing in front of a truck. In each photograph, Ukrainians in uniform wore patches featuring symbols that were made notorious by Nazi Germany and have since become part of the iconography of...

The risk-taking motorist was spotted pulling the treacherous stunt Sunday on the 91 Freeway in Corona, California, according to KTLA. Video provided to the news station by another motorist shows a man wearing a neon yellow T-shirt, dark pants and a red bandana tied around his head balancing on the ledge of the open window of a car. The thrill-seeker’s entire body can be seen standing up straight outside of what appears to be a blueish-gray Nissan as it barrels down the California freeway. The startling footage then shows the man opening his arms wide as the wind whips his...

A Phase 3 trial has demonstrated that patients with advanced stage (3 or 4) classic Hodgkin lymphoma who underwent initial treatment with nivolumab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, and AVD chemotherapy (N-AVD) had a significantly lower risk of their cancer getting worse than patients treated with brentuximab vedotin, a monoclonal antibody, and AVD (BV-AVD) a year after starting treatment. Ninety-four percent of adolescent and adult patients in the N-AVD group had progression-free survival compared with 86% in the BV-AVD arm. N-AVD was also well-tolerated. "The results are remarkable," said Herrera. Patients with Stage 3 or 4 classic Hodgkin lymphoma who had...

In Rostov, Belgorod and Voronezh oblasts in Russia, radio broadcast an address of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin in which he called upon Russians to evacuate to the interior of the country due to the invasion by the Ukrainian army and announced mobilisation.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

A movie covering 'collectivist' movements over the last 80+ years, all the dictators, the deaths, the control, and the plans in the works for the whole world today. It's extremely well documented.

Joe Biden's corruption of the government has reached a critical level. It is recognized now that the FBI is and has been corrupt for many years. Trump documents are handed out to whomever wants them seemingly within seconds of requests while anything that might incriminate one of the Bidens or Clintons is stonewalled for years. John Durham's report observed that four separate Clinton investigations were shut down and slow walked until the statute of limitations had been exceeded. The FBI has abused the Section 702 FISA process more than 250,000 times. It had no factual evidence to open the Trump-Russia...

Key points: The study provides the first scientific evidence that silver used in her jewellery was sourced from the Aegean Islands in Greece. The findings offer an insight into the trade networks that existed and the emergence of Egyptian state. An analysis of bracelets owned by Queen Hetepheres — the mother of King Khufu, who would go on to build the Great Pyramid — has found that Egypt and Greece were involved in long-distance trade earlier than previously known.

FOX NEWS INVESTIGATES – Since the George Floyd protests and riots of 2020, Target Corporation said it ramped up its diversity, equity and inclusion work. This agenda extended far beyond enhancing representation and support of historically marginalized groups externally and in its stores, and dipped into funding organizations with far-left and blatantly political agendas. Target's "accelerated" its DEI program in response to Black Lives Matter activism under the leadership of its diversity chief – Kiera Fernandez. The chief has demanded that "White women" get to work to combat the proclaimed systemic racism in America. Fox News Digital found that Target,...

The New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs has released a consultation document containing proposed changes to censorship procedures. Read a sobering commentary by the Free Speech Union HERE. The proposals include the appointment of a chief regulator who will be empowered to decide whether online content – including social media posts – is “harmful.” To do so, he will be empowered to make up his own “guidelines” without the input of parliament. The proposals will also allow fines exceeding NZ$200,000 to be levied on those who don’t comply with his ideas. ... What Exactly Will the Regulator’s Draconian Powers Replace?...

Alber’s letter enumerated those steps: "1) Divide the nation philosophically. 2) Foment racial strife. 3) Cause distrust of police authority. 4) Swarm the nation’s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally. 5) Engender the military strength to weaken it. 6) Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation. 7) Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime. 8) Control all balloting. 9) Control all media."
