MIAMI, FL — With news breaking of the Department of Justice handing down an indictment of former President Donald Trump, new details regarding the classified documents found in Trump's possession have come to light. A new report indicates these documents included the McDonald's secret recipe for the McRib sandwich. "This is something we can't afford to have out in the open," said a source at the DOJ who requested anonymity. "Once the higher-ups at McDonald's heard about Trump possessing their McRib recipe, they pushed really hard for us to take serious action." Behind the scenes, rumors were swirling that Trump...

Special counsel Jack Smith is delivering his first remarks Friday afternoon after a federal indictment against former President Trump over his handling of classified documents after leaving office was unsealed Friday. The indictment charges Trump with 37 counts, including allegations of attempting to block the government from recovering classified documents at his private Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced in November 2022 that Smith would serve as special counsel for the documents probe as well as another into allegations of attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Explanation: This deep field mosaicked image presents a stunning view of galaxy cluster Abell 2744 recorded by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam. Also dubbed Pandora's Cluster, Abell 2744 itself appears to be a ponderous merger of three different massive galaxy clusters. It lies some 3.5 billion light-years away, toward the constellation Sculptor. Dominated by dark matter, the mega-cluster warps and distorts the fabric of spacetime, gravitationally lensing even more distant objects. Redder than the Pandora cluster galaxies many of the lensed sources are very distant galaxies in the early Universe, their lensed images stretched and distorted into arcs. Of...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis condemned the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump — and used his statement about it to campaign. DeSantis posted a statement about the “weaponization of federal law enforcement” to his Twitter account on Thursday evening. “The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis began. “We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.” The tweet continued, “Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?” DeSantis then quickly switched gears to campaign for himself. “The DeSantis administration will...

The President Trump indictment is the newest shiny object intended to distract the public from the real crimes of the Crooked Joe Biden crime family. – this appears to be part of a continuing pattern designed to take the public spotlight off of him. It may work for some, but it is not working here. While we report on this, the rest of the world is still absorbing the meaning of the indictment. However, this latest stunt is of questionable value for those who are not impressed by this sleight of hand by the prosecutor Jack Smith. Instead, this stunt...

A Florida resident surprisingly contracted flesh-eating bacteria after he was bitten by a man he is related to while trying to break up a fight at a family get-together. Donnie Adams was at a family function in Tampa Bay, Florida, in February 2022 when he intervened in a fight between two relatives. According to WSAV, one of the family members bit Adams on the thigh before he could stop the altercation. The wounded man said he immediately went to the hospital for a tetanus shot and antibiotics, but the treatments did not stop an infection from developing. “By the third...

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has been assigned, at least for now, to oversee the case stemming from Donald Trump's indictment, a source confirmed to NPR on Friday. Trump appointed Cannon to the bench in 2020, and she is the same judge who ruled in favor of Trump's request to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago last summer, a move that temporarily stopped federal prosecutors from continuing their investigation into the documents.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Hawaii's second largest volcano -- Kilauea -- started erupting early Wednesday morning following a three-month pause, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, also known as USGS. "Klauea volcano IS erupting," USGS noted on Twitter, adding that the eruption started just before 4:45 a.m. HST. The agency shared video of "the west rim of the crater at approximately 6 a.m. HST. Telephoto view shows multiple active vent sources and lava flooding the crater floor" within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, which is located on Hawaii's Big Island. USGS said their Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) detected a glow in the...

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz warned of the "dangerous" consequences posed by the federal charges launched against former President Donald Trump, arguing the indictment's "weak" appearance does not meet historic precedent. "It has to be at least as strong as the case against Richard Nixon, which we will remember led not to Democrats to demand his resignation, but Republicans, his own colleagues came to him and said, this case is so strong that we can't support you," Dershowitz said Friday on "Mornings with Maria." "I haven't seen any suggestion that Republicans agree with this indictment," the professor continued....

Researchers at Italy's National Research Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology say Campi Flegrei volcano, in southern Italy, is at risk of experiencing an eruption, like the one shown here at Mauna Loa in Hawaii.

Donald Trump was hit with a sweeping 37-count indictment from the special counsel's office Thursday, alleging that he willfully retained documents containing the nation's most sensitive secrets, including nuclear programs, after he left office, showed some of them on at least two occasions and then tried to obstruct the investigation into their whereabouts. Federal prosecutors unsealed the indictment Friday against the former president and his aide Walt Nauta in connection with his handling of government documents.

The sodomites have stolen the month of June. They are using thuggish tactics to intimidate Americans into bowing down to satan celebrating their master. Our only way to fight back is prayer.

It is for us, the Godfearing to take back this month from those that are wallowing in deadly sodomy and forcing America to help them celebrate their eternal damnation unless that turn away from sodomy and repent.

Here, some religious allegations emerged that were linked to historical events that took place in more than one country, including the Captain Dreyfus case that exploded in France in 1896 and the "mass killing" (quotation marks by Fathi) operations that took place at the hands of Hitler against the Jews, which were justified[sic.

Today, the gay Internet is more joyful than we’ve seen since perhaps the death of Antonin Scalia. The reason? Well because ding dong, yet another witch is dead. This time, it’s none other than religious right pundit Pat Robertson. And folks are absolutely dancing on the anti-gay Baptist minister’s grave.

Former President Donald Trump has officially been indicted by the federal government on seven counts of not storing highly classified documents in his garage behind a corvette. "Mr. Trump had these documents securely stored in a closet instead of strewn about the garage. Straight to jail," said Merrick Garland. "Trump's failure to haphazardly toss Top Secret documents behind a car is nothing short of treasonous." For his part, Mr. Trump has denied all wrongdoing. "I hide all my classified documents behind the best, most beautiful cars at Mar-A-Lago," said Mr. Trump. "Corvettes are for the poors. Do I look like...

Stanley Woodward, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump's valet, reportedly claims in court papers that a top federal prosecutor brought up his application for a judgeship while trying to gain the valet's cooperation in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. In a report in The Guardian newspaper, Woodward was identified as the lawyer. He represents Walt Nauta — the valet who has been under scrutiny over his accounts of whether he moved boxes of documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida, according to NBC News. The Guardian said Woodward's claim was made in a letter filed under seal with the...

Ukraine claimed Friday that it intercepted a telephone call between Russian soldiers that “confirms” that Moscow’s saboteurs destroyed the Nova Kakhovka dam — as Norwegian seismologists revealed they had detected a possible blast around the time of the dam’s breach. Ukraine’s domestic security agency, SBU, posted a one-and-a-half-minute audio recording on its Telegram channel in which two men are heard discussing in Russian the aftermath of the dam collapse. “[The Ukrainians] didn’t strike it. That was our sabotage group,” says one of the men on the call, described by the SBU as a Russian serviceman. “They wanted to, like, scare...
