I offered to help prep Chris Christie for the debate with Donald Trump. Christie helped prep Trump in 2016, saying he played Hillary Clinton very aggressively so that Trump would think the real thing was “a cakewalk.” And now, sitting at a table in the Times cafeteria with the former New Jersey governor, I figured I could play Trump. We have both known the blackguard for decades. And let’s be honest. We want Christie on that wall. After years of watching Republicans cower before Trump, it’s bracing to see the disgraced former president finally meet his mean match. Even my...

We all saw this unfold last week. Many, including myself, were watching in shock and disbelief as this mercenary army called the Wagner Group was marching toward Moscow, coming within 120 miles of the capital. All kinds of military experts, as well as experts on Russia and geopolitics, were trying to dissect what was happening. Then as suddenly as it all began, it all inexplicably dissipated. We were all left wondering… what in the world was going on here? This Wagner group is led by a man named Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has been leading this mercenary army for several years....

Yes, Resident Biden, our bumbling, corrupt “leader” said “We created more new jobs in two years than any president did in their entire term.” Of course, like almost everything that comes out of Biden’s mouth was a lie. Actually, the US economy added 12.53 million jobs after April 2020 (Trump) while Bidenomics created took 2 1/2 years to add 12.56 million jobs. So, Biden took over twice as long to create jobs after Covid than it did under Trump. Simply opening the economy and schools produced that magical claim by Biden. Then we have 25 consecutive months of negative REAL...

GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie offered a sharp personal attack on former President Donald Trump and his family, blasting his one-time ally as a bad person and comparing Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner to Hunter Biden, in an exclusive sitdown with The Post. Kushner netted billions of dollars in investment from Saudi Arabia just weeks after leaving the White House — drawing comparisons from Christie to the disgraced first son.

God is generous, and he rewards those who help his servants as generously as he rewards his servants themselves. That is the message of the Readings for this 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time. We begin with an account from 2 Kings concerning the reward of a wife of the town of Shunem, who was consistently gracious to the prophet Elisha. In the Gospel Reading, Jesus proclaims a blessing on all those who give succor, refuge, and assistance to those he sends out to proclaim the Good News. This Sunday’s Readings complement last Sunday’s, which emphasized the violent reaction that the...

One in seven adults faced food insecurity in the United Kingdom in the year leading up to the middle of 2022, research from the Trussell Trust has found this week. A survey conducted by the Ipsos polling firm alongside the Trussell Trust, which operates a network of food banks across the UK, has found that 14 per cent of all UK adults faced the threat of going hungry in the 12 months to mid-2022. The research found that having a paid worker in the household was not determinative in whether people were forced into using food banks to stay afloat,...

Friday, FNC host Laura Ingraham opened her program by warning those expecting reparations based on promises from Democratic politicians will suffer the same disappointment as those who expected student loan forgiveness. Earlier in the day, the high court ruled against President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.

Though two circuit courts have ruled that Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations compelling states to fund genital mutilation surgeries by health care providers are illegal, Secretary Xavier Becerra warned that he will withhold Medicaid funds from states that refuse to fund these surgeries. "President Biden has made it clear that he wants every transgender to have access to this life-saving therapy," Becerra said. "His will trumps objections to using public funds to perform what some are calling 'elective surgery.' I say if you're a female born with a penis instead of a vagina you need surgery to correct that...

Billed as a major tool in the fight against “climate change,” so-called “cultivated chicken” is grown in a lab. The costly process involves extracting stem cells and giving them a nutrient-dense bath in vitamins, minerals, salt, and even soy inside a steel bioreactor. An average batch takes about two weeks to harvest.

"They're tapping into the American food structure and this country. And we should be looking at that as food security, people," National Black Farmers Association President John Boyd Jr. said on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" Tuesday, "because they're tapping into American farms and tapping into the hog industry, all of these industries that China is quietly taking over here in the United States." Farmers have voiced their concerns for more than two years over Chinese-owned companies purchasing large swaths of rural farmland in states like Oklahoma, Minnesota, North Carolina and Virginia. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data from 2021 indicates...

AbstractIntroductionIn 2011, we published a study that found a counterintuitive, positive correlation, r = 0.70 (p < .0001), demonstrating that among the most highly developed nations (n = 30), those that require more vaccines for their infants tend to have higher infant mortality rates (IMRs). Critics of the paper recently claimed that this finding is due to "inappropriate data exclusion," i.e., the failure to analyze the "full dataset" of all 185 nations.ObjectiveIn the present study, we examine various claims postulated by these critics and the validity of their scientific methods, and we perform several investigations to assess the reliability of...

Union construction jobs are not just good jobs, they are great jobs. They have a relatively low entry barrier and offer world-class training, great pay, and benefits that allow members to retire with dignity. However, what’s often overlooked is union construction’s racism, and that those great jobs, particularly leadership positions, are designed to remain filled by white men. Thanks to construction workers, activists, and journalists, there are countless documented examples of the widespread racism that Black people face in interactions with construction unions. From being called racist names to being administered tests designed to ensure their failure, a gamut of...

The Colorado web designer who wanted to refuse LGBTQ customers and just won her case at the Supreme Court had claimed in court filings that a man inquired about her services for his same-sex wedding. But the man says he never reached out to Lorie Smith, the web designer who argued at the Supreme Court that she shouldn’t be forced to create same-sex wedding websites because of her religious objections. In fact, the man says he’s straight and married to a woman.

Three suspects have been charged with vandalism of multiple houses of worship in southeast Maryland, including one historic Black church that suffered approximately $100,000 in damages. On Wednesday, Anne Arundel County Police Department officers arrested Jarren Alexander, 22, on charges of vandalism against two area churches. His alleged crimes included extensive damage to Fowler United Methodist Church (UMC), a historic Black church in Annapolis, on June 9. Alexander also is being charged in connection with two additional incidents of vandalism at nearby St. Philip’s Episcopal Church on subsequent nights. Fowler UMC Reverend Jerome Jones briefly recounted the vandalism he saw...
