On March 3, an illegal bio lab was discovered in a believed-to-be vacant building in Reedley, California in Fresno County. City code enforcement stumbled upon the building in December 2022 when they discovered a garden hose running up into the building through a hole in the wall. In March, they obtained a warrant to inspect the property, and in April, the Fresno County Department of Public Health ordered an inspection of the facility. Investigators inspected the building that contained the lab in July and found a room used to make COVID-19 tests and pregnancy tests. They also found over 35...

It's a very dark time in America. We're going to learn quickly if there is any hope for us. We're going to find out whether Merrick Garland, and consequently his DOJ, has a least shred of integrity left. The Diversion Plea written for Hunter Biden wasn't a real document. It wasn't a plea. He could not plead to things for which he had not been charged. He had not been charged with anything. That means the thing presented in court yesterday was a joke, but it has a provision that would protect Hunter (and thus Joe) from any past or...

KYIV, July 28 – Qatar will provide Ukraine with $100 million in humanitarian aid to support health, education and demining, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Friday. He made the announcement after talks with visiting Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, who also discussed global food security and the expired Black Sea grain deal with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

An investigation into a Reedley warehouse uncovered a large-scale illegal medical lab complete with bioengineered mice, infectious agents, nearly 30 refrigerators and freezers some of which were non-operational, incubators, and more leaving officials shocked and the public worried. Local, state, and federal agencies are all involved and what prompted this investigation was a simple garden hose that was illegally attached and coming out of a wall in the back of the building. It was inside an ordinary warehouse located on “I” and Ninth Streets in the City of Reedley that a disturbing and shocking discovery was made back in April....

Former Trump administration National Security Advisor John Bolton said Friday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that Donald Trump has been indicted for the cover-up of classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago because he “doesn’t learn” from history. Bolton said, “I think his disdain for the importance of classification and protecting classified information is pretty clearly established. His belief that constraints, rules, procedures didn’t apply to him if he wanted to do something different is manifest throughout the original indictment. This is a pretty straightforward addition in the superseding indictment. It does demonstrate his mindset; He thinks he can do whatever he wants.”

The chairman of the African Union said on July 28 that proposals by Russian President Vladimir Putin to provide grain to Africa were insufficient. In a closing address to a Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, Azali Assoumani also said that a cease-fire is necessary in Ukraine. Putin earlier told the African leaders that Russia was ready to supply Africa with grain, some of it for free, after refusing last week to extend the Black Sea Grain Initiative before it expired. The deal, brokered last year by the United Nations and Turkey, allowed Ukraine to export grain safely from Black Sea...

The Frisco Police Chief is apologizing today to a family from Little Rock pulled over and held at gunpoint this past Sunday because the officers mistakenly believed they were in a stolen car: a mistake Frisco PD says happened because an officer entered the vehicle as being from Arizona, not Arkansas. On Sunday, a Frisco police officer saw a black Dodge Charger with an out-of-state license plate leaving a hotel. Police said due to recent burglaries and vehicle thefts in which Chargers are frequently stolen, the officer conducted a computer check of the vehicle’s Arkansas license plate. However, when entering...

After an investigation, police said that 16-month-old Isiah Johnson had been shot and killed by his 5-year-old brother. Law & Crime...

New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg suffered a major setback in his garbage lawsuit against President Trump on Friday. Bragg was hoping to drag former First Lady Melania Trump into his lawfare suit against the president. But New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan surprisingly quashed a pair of subpoenas by Bragg seeking Melania Trump’s emails. Judge Merchan said the subpoenas were too broad in scope. Bragg was hoping to drag Melania Trump into the case to harass and embarrass her.

Historian Peter Turchin predicted the turbulence of 2020. He tells me why, in 2024, America will reach a ‘break point.’ Peter Turchin is not like most historians. For starters, he has an unusual background as an evolutionary biologist studying lemmings and mice. He says that analyzing the complexities of the natural world has allowed him to understand the most complex system of all: human society. He has pioneered a field of history that he calls cliodynamics that applies hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of historical data points to a mathematical model in order to understand the present and to predict...

"Based on the evidence I've seen so far, I think the number is going to be north of $50 million that we're talking about here," Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said Friday on "Mornings with Maria." "This will go down as one of the most politically corrupt presidents and families in U.S. history," she added. "And we've got to show and prove it to the American people. We've got to show them everything that we have." Other committee members have signaled that up to $100 million flowed through the then-second family, as Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings are currently...

The Antichrist according to Saint Pius X: An Unexpected Interpretation of the “Abomination of Desolation”120 years ago, on August 4, 1903, the pontificate of Pope Saint Pius X began. Two months later, on October 4, 1903, his first encyclical, E Supremi,[i] was published in order to describe the pontifical program represented by the motto “Instaurare Omnia in Christo” (To restore all things in Christ), used as a subtitle for the text. Revolving around the first verse of the second Psalm of King David, the beginning of the document was dedicated to the situation of the Church in the modern world:“The...

CNN - Here’s a hot take on the summer of 2023: The climate you grew up in is gone, replaced by something new and changing, but also inalterably different – where the Atlantic Ocean can reach hot-tub temperature, heat is a recurring public health concern and people will have to adapt their way of living. In this year of epic heat, it’s time to start thinking about how the climate changed rather than the fact of its changing. From a historical standpoint, we are in uncharted territory. This is not just the hottest month in human history. It may be...
