AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton said Monday she will “carry out my duties” ahead of the historic impeachment trial of her husband, Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, but did not outright say whether or not she will recuse herself on a vote to remove him from office.

Whether Paxton will cast a vote with her husband’s job on the line has raised ethical questions ahead of the looming trial in...

How insane is modern Britain? This jihadi was let into the country with no problem. Other preachers of jihad violence can also enter the country at will, while opponents of jihad murder and Sharia oppression are barred from entry. The Home Office several years ago banned Martin Sellner, Brittany Pettibone, Lauren Southern and Lutz Bachmann from entering, all for the crime of opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression, and thereby made it clear that it is more authoritarian and unwilling to uphold the freedom of speech than ever – at least when it comes to criticism of Islam, Muslim rape...

These guys are very unpleasant to have around. In the old days, we had mental hospitals and then they were there. Now we have them in town. You thought they would be fine when they took their meds, but it’s very hard to check it all the time if they don’t want to take them. So this will happen again. Unfortunately.” Why must Sweden inflict this upon itself? What responsibility or obligation does Sweden have to take in violent jihadists from Iran? Why can’t Milad Salari be sent home? Is fear of charges of “racism” motivating this suicidal impulse? Or...

Student and administrative leaders at the University of South Florida reversed the election victory of Sebastian Solano and Jessica Malanga for student body president and vice president. Solano and Malanga had 1,076 votes. The second place finishers Cesar Esmeraldi and Elizabeth Volmy had 1,011 votes.

USF Dean of Students Danielle McDonald ruled that "the votes were very close and the violation was severe enough that I am...

[…][…]Trudeau’s done pretty much everything he can think of, from showing up on RuPaul’s Drag Race to raging to the press that New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs’ decision to ensure that public schools involve parents in their children’s lives is “far-right.” And so, the Liberal Party decided to host an “all ages” drag show on Parliament Hill two weeks ago.Marci Ien, the minister for women and gender equality and youth (Liberal cabinet ministers are saddled with very long, very inclusive titles) tweeted out photos of the event, stating: “Thank-you to everyone who joined us for our #PrideSeason Kick-Off celebration, with...

The United Nations (UN) is planning to introduce a global digital ID system that is linked to individuals’ bank accounts. The plan, which is similar to the system developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), is outlined in three new policy briefs from the UN titled, “A Global Digital Compact, Reforms to the International Financial Architecture, and The Future of Outer Space Governance.” The goal of the briefs is to advance UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s “vision for the future.” Officially titled “Our Common Agenda,” Guterres’ “vision” should be given the green light in September 2024 during an event dubbed, “The...

The Washington Post claims to have a major scoop, but as usual, the scoop inside the scoop requires reading between the lines of its lies. "The Washington Post found that senior Justice Department and FBI officials rejected or rebuffed early proposals to investigate actions taken by President Donald Trump and his close allies leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol… As a result, more than a year passed before federal prosecutors and FBI agents embarked on a formal investigation into nonviolent efforts within Trump’s orbit to steal the 2020 election."
