LAHORE, Pakistan, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Police arrested Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Lahore on Saturday after a court sentenced him to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts, potentially barring the opposition leader from contesting an upcoming election. Legal experts say the guilty verdict reached by an Islamabad district court could eliminate Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's greatest rival in a national election expected in November. "Police have arrested Imran Khan from his residence," Khan's lawyer, Intezar Panjotha, told Reuters. "We are filing a petition against the decision in high court."

Ottawa businessman and Muslim activist Kamel El-Cheikh is organizing a Million Person March to protest gender ideology and "Pride" month in schools. He told The Post Millennial that his goal is to bring together a million Canadians of all faiths from coast to coast on Sept. 20. Although he has rarely been in the media spotlight as a businessman, El-Cheikh has become a prominent protest organizer in the last months as he has led groups of Muslims and Christians in Ottawa who are opposed to children being told they can change their gender without telling their parents and to pornographic...

"So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?"

If the election, which in 2020 never ended, just shifted, up until congress voted; all efforts up to the certification were trying to stop the steal. Where as Kari Lake is trying to overturn an election. If it were a crime, it didn't happen even at the right time to even be in play.

The terms “male” and “female” are so last year. At least to the New Jersey Board of Education, or NJSBE, which just voted to approve its “equity” policy and dump all gender-specific phrases in favor of the term “all students.” The vote passed six to five, with board members agreeing Wednesday to several language changes, the New Jersey Spotlight News reported. The board is required to vote on its equity code every seven years, according to the outlet.

The scandal over Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s nationally-publicized “enemies” list may be far from over.

Friday, during an interview on FBN’s “Kudlow,” Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz once again criticized the four-count indictment against former President Donald Trump regarding the 2021 Capitol Hill riot. According to Dershowitz, the indictment approached “banana republic land,” and he accused the Biden administration of being “afraid of the democratic process.”

Explanation: This pretty nebula lies some 1,500 light-years away, its shape and color in this telescopic view reminiscent of a robin's egg. The cosmic cloud spans about 3 light-years, nestled securely within the boundaries of the southern constellation Fornax. Recognized as a planetary nebula, egg-shaped NGC 1360 doesn't represent a beginning though. Instead it corresponds to a brief and final phase in the evolution of an aging star. In fact, visible at the center of the nebula, the central star of NGC 1360 is known to be a binary star system likely consisting of two evolved white dwarf stars, less...

VIDEOWatch as these Australian bureaucrats of the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), which is equivalent to the American FDA, attempt to explain their COVERUP of deaths caused by the COVID vaccine.

PORTLAND, Ore. (TND) — Watchdog group New Tolerance Campaign (NTC) is demanding answers after an Oregon hospital allegedly denied a cancer patient treatment for her views on transgenderism. “We know cancel culture can cost people their jobs. Now, it can cost you your life,” NTC wrote.

For children?” screenshots of her comments posted on social media read. “I have been threatened on...

Four hundred ninety-eight electric vehicles (EVs) and over 3,200 other vehicles, including 350 Mercedes Benzes, were bound for Egypt on the Fremantle Highway when one or more of the EVs caught fire, costing at least one seaman his life and injuring several others. Curiously, the Dutch coast guard had initially reported that only 25 of the vehicles were battery-electric models. At last report, the Dutch coast guard admitted that it has been unable to put out the fire and that the ship has taken on water and is “listing” and on a trajectory toward a capsize. Should the ship sink,...

Long interview, but the best and most in depth interview I've ever seen with Jimmy Webb. I had no idea he worked for Motown writing songs at age 17. The songs (their rights) they let him walk away with (free) when he left is chuckle worthy.

Ten Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), implored Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in a letter Thursday to ensure Justice Samuel Alito will recuse himself from future cases pertaining to legislation regulating the high court. The senators’ request hinged on an interview Alito gave to the Wall Street Journal last week, where he opined that the U.S. Constitution does not give Congress the authority to regulate the Court, “period.” “Congress did not create the Supreme Court,” Alito said of efforts to legislate ethics regulations. “I know this is a controversial view, but I’m...

Barack Obama is “as insecure as Trump,” his biographer said this week — and doubled down on his book’s revelations that the former president “repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.” David Garrow penned the 1,472-page “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama” in 2017, which he discussed in a lengthy interview with Tablet Wednesday. The 70-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning historian sat with Obama for eight hours over three days for the massive tome, which received mixed reviews — and obtained letters from three of his former girlfriends. Among them was Alex McNear, Obama’s girlfriend when they both attended Occidental College***...

Smith has brought a total of 40 counts against Trump, accusing him of unlawfully retaining classified documents after leaving office and lying to the government about handing over all documents. On July 27, Smith’s team filed a “superseding indictment” which further accused Trump of instructing his security staff to delete security tapes from his Mar-a-Lago resort only a couple of months before the FBI raided the Florida...

Biden's former White House press secretary Jen Psaki warned voters against "falling for Republican efforts to distract attention away from their Party's conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election by making false allegations that President Biden accepted bribes in exchange for favors. There is no proof that the actions that he took to get the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating his son fired was in any way linked to the $5 million dollars he was paid by Burisma. As then-Vice-President Biden said at the time--the firing of that prosecutor had the full approval of President Obama." "Next, they will be demanding...
