The official court website of Fulton County, Georgia, published an indictment against former President Donald Trump on Monday before deleting it, a bizarre, unexplained act that at least one critic says violated Trump’s constitutional rights to due process of law. Reuters first reported that the indictment had been filed, then had to update its report when the indictment was removed from the court website and the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis denied that an indictment had yet been issued. Yet Reuters preserved the initial document, which lists 39 charges against Trump, including the “serious felony” of racketeering....

President Joe Biden is being slammed for his “disgraceful response” — being termed his “Katrina moment” — after appearing unconcerned by the rising death toll in Hawaii when he offered “no comment” when asked about the current catastrophe after reclining at a Delaware beach. On Sunday evening, the president reportedly said he had “no comment” when asked about the rising death toll from the devastating Hawaii fires that have ravaged Maui since Tuesday. “After a couple hours on the Rehoboth beach, @potus was asked about the rising death toll in Hawaii. ‘No comment,’ he said before heading home,” tweeted Bloomberg...

Yet votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show. Election officials reject almost 2 percent of ballots cast by mail, double the rate for in-person voting. “The more people you force to vote by mail,” Mr. Sancho said, “the more invalid ballots you will generate.” Election experts say the challenges created by mailed ballots could well affect outcomes this fall and beyond. If the contests next month are close enough to be within what election lawyers call the...

Treatment with the recently approved, minimally invasive Optilume BPH device improves urinary symptoms while preserving sexual function in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), concludes a randomized trial. The Optilume BPH Catheter System offers a new type of minimally invasive treatment, featuring a dual mechanical and pharmacological mechanism of action. In the Optilume procedure, an uncoated balloon catheter is used to open a passage between the lateral lobes of the prostate (anterior commissurotomy). A second balloon, coated with the antiproliferative drug paclitaxel, is then deployed to further widen the opening. The addition of paclitaxel is thought to prevent continued enlargement...

While the Russian army continues to defend its positions in the Donbas, a year and a half since the onset of the Ukrainian invasion, Russian media is already discussing the possibility of expanding Russian territory deep into Central Europe. As Novinky reports, on Russian television, propagandist Nikolay Vavilov recently asserted that the envisioned revitalized Russian empire should encompass cities like Prague and Berlin. “It will continue endlessly, and we will progressively assume a role similar to that of the Russian Empire. I wasn’t joking when I mentioned on the previous program that Berlin, Dresden, Prague, and Ljubljana – they will...

The corrupt Georgia Democrat prosecutor is going to charge Trump along with MULTIPLE defendants with her indictments this week. According to the latest leak to CNN, Fani Willis will seek more than a dozen indictments against Trump and people in his orbit. The DA will use conspiracy and racketeering charges to sweep up multiple defendants at once. NBC News reported: If Donald Trump is indicted in Fulton County, Georgia, it will not be the first time the former president will answer to criminal charges in a courtroom. But this time, the entire process will likely play out on live television....

A two page docket report was posted, then removed, from the Fulton County, Georgia court website today concerning the impending indictment of former President Donald Trump. The incident led to corporate media outlets and news wires originally reporting that an indictment has been handed down Monday. It had not. The briefly public docket report revealed that District Attorney Willis will be seeking a range of charges against Trump including racketeering, conspiracy, and making false statements – it is not currently known if additional charges will be included. The apparent errant posting of charges is just the latest in controversies that...

If any driver is found transporting someone who is unlawfully in the sunshine state, they could face five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

In a jaw-dropping revelation, Election Systems & Software ( ES&S ) has been caught red-handed in an audacious scheme to prevent public access to vital public records related to the administration of elections. The bombshell report suggests that the company is trying to cloak their actions in secrecy and hide critical information from the American public. The hidden treasure trove of data and evidence held hostage by ES&S and their co-conspirators is nothing short of a GAME-CHANGER. It is the ultimate vindication for President Donald J. Trump, providing undeniable evidence that the 2020 and 2022 elections were RIGGED and FRAUDULENT!

Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 17:22–27Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus prophesies his Crucifixion and Resurrection: “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.”What enabled the first Christians to hold up the cross, to sing its praises, to wear it as a decoration is the fact that God raised up and ratified precisely this crucified Jesus.“The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead.” Therefore, God was involved in this terrible thing; God was there, working out...

Intel’s adoption of a hybrid core architecture has significantly changed the roadmap of the PC space. More and more applications are now taking advantage of the “secondary” low-power P-cores to boost performance as well as efficiency. Of course, this approach has its own shortcomings, which Intel plans to iron out in the coming years. The first, most radical change involves replacing hyper-threading with a more efficient pseudo-multi-threaded solution: Rentable Units. As far as the different applications running on your PC are concerned, they can’t differentiate between the physical and logical cores born out of hyper-threading. They see all as equal....

ATLANTA (AP) — A list of criminal charges in Georgia against former President Donald Trump briefly appeared Monday on a Fulton County website, but prosecutors said Trump had not been indicted in a long-running investigation of the 2020 presidential election. A Fulton County grand jury began hearing from witnesses Monday. Shortly after 12 p.m., Reuters reported on a list of several criminal charges to be brought against Trump, including state racketeering counts, conspiracy to commit false statements, and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. Reuters, which later published a copy of the document, said the filing was...

Federal Report on the Death of Jeffrey Epstein Is Rife With Evidence of Foul PlayMore than 20 years after a woman named Maria Farmer first reported Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the FBI in 1996 for molesting children, the federal government finally arrested Epstein in 2019 for “sex trafficking of minors.” Only five weeks later, this uber-wealthy financier with hordes of friends in high places was dead.In the weeks leading up to Epstein’s death, an array of people predicted that unless Epstein was heavily guarded in prison, he would likely be killed to keep him silent. Several first-hand witnesses...

Former NFL star Michael Oher has sued the family popularized by acclaimed 2009 film, The Blind Side, alleging he was tricked into signing a document which made them conservators -- not his adoptive parents -- allowing them to profit off him. Widespread belief was that Oher was indeed the adopted son of Sean and Leigh Anne Touhy, the latter of whom was played by Sandra Bullock in the Academy Award-winning role. In 2004, while Oher was aged 18, he signed on to a petition which made them his conservators - and in other words, able to legally act upon business...

He’s my boss; her dog is cute; they have an exam today — pronouns are a part of speech we use to refer to ourselves and others. They’re an essential component of language — and, as of the last few years, among its most hotly contested, too. Some of the most common words in the English language have gender markers, including pronouns. But not all of them are binary. Consider the singular “they,” preferred by some nonbinary and trans people for whom gendered pronouns do not fit. And then there are neopronouns (“new” pronouns), gender-neutral or nonbinary pronouns that are...

I'm not saying I was ever primed to go for a dip in the Antarctic seas. I'm just saying that now I'm definitelynot going there: Scientists trawling on board a research vessel off the coast of Antarctica have caught a new undersea creature — one with 20 arms and a distinctive body, shaped a little bit like a strawberry. ... Although similar to other invertebrate ocean animals, like starfish and sea cucumbers, feather stars are distinct both in their 'large' size and 'otherworldly appearance' when swimming, the researchers said. The sheer horrific insanity of this thing is just something to...

The U.S. on Monday announced a $200 million security assistance package for Ukraine, providing Kyiv with another round of munitions and tactical vehicles for use in the fight against Russia. The latest package places total U.S. security assistance to Ukraine at roughly $43 billion since Russia invaded in February 2022, meaning the remaining funds for Ukrainian forces is fast approaching their limit. The Biden administration unveiled the critical assistance for Ukraine in the midst of a major counteroffensive operation. The package includes more munitions for advanced weapons systems coveted by Ukraine, including High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and Patriot...

*** Trump ***, fumed on Truth Social over a report that former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan had agreed to testify before the Fulton County panel Tuesday. “I am reading reports that failed former Lt. Governor of Georgia, Jeff [sic] Duncan, will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn’t,” Trump posted. *** “He refused having a Special Session to find out what went on, became very unpopular with Republicans (I refused to endorse him!), and fought the TRUTH all the way.” *** “WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY THAT I DID NOT TAMPER WITH...
