No cash bail. Rarely has an issue animated politicians and voters the way this one has. In Illinois, money is gone as a condition of pre-trial release. So how is it going to work? On Monday, in Room 100 of the Leighton Criminal Courthouse, history will be made. Mary Marubio is the presiding judge of the Pretrial Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County. “People who have recently been arrested and who are awaiting pretrial conditions will be coming here receiving those conditions and then being released from custody,” she said. When those first proceedings begin, Illinois will become...

A large coalition of House Republicans led by Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., introduced a resolution Thursday condemning Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham over her now-blocked gun carry ban. The GOP resolution would condemn Lujan Grisham in response to her emergency order last week which suspended concealed and open carry in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days. Republicans, some Democrats and Second Amendment advocates have heavily criticized Lujan Grisham, arguing the order infringes on Americans' constitutional rights. "The shocking move from Governor Grisham is a blatant subversion of the U.S. Constitution and...

Joe Biden on Thursday delivered remarks on his failed economic agenda dubbed “Bidenomics” at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland. This is Joe Biden’s first public appearance since his son Hunter was indicted on federal gun charges. As usual, Biden’s speech was full of lies. “America has the strongest economy in the world of all major economics! But all they do is attack it!” Biden said as Americans suffer under crushing inflation and low wages. ..... Snip..... Out of nowhere, old man Joe started randomly shouting during his speech. Watch:

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy brutally savaged a reporter who questioned if there was any evidence to warrant an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. There are almost no words to describe how comical this is, as if there was any evidence to support the impeachment of former President Donald Trump. There was no evidence of Russian collusion, which turned out to be a hoax, the real big lie, and nothing to support the equally shoddy quid pro quo allegation regarding Ukraine aid and investigations into the Biden family.

A flotilla of flimsy boats, crowded with migrants and launched from Tunisia, overwhelmed a tiny southern Italian island on Wednesday, taxing the coast guard’s capability to intercept the smugglers’ vessels and testing Premier Giorgia Meloni’s pledge to thwart irregular migration. Compounding the political pressure on Italy’s first post-war far-right leader were vows by France and Germany to rebuff migrants who arrive by sea on Italian shores, and, in defiance of European Union asylum system rules, head northward to try to find jobs or relatives. Starting early Tuesday, the unseaworthy, overcrowded iron boats, came one after the other in what appeared...

A brand-new battery technology could soon power EVs for 1,000 miles — on a single charge. To put that in perspective… If you were to drive a Nissan Leaf from coast to coast, you’d have to recharge the battery eight times… A Chevy Bolt, seven times… Even the Tesla Model X would need to be charged six times. And you’d have to hang around for anywhere between one and 12 hours at each charging station. But with this new battery technology in your vehicle, you’d only have to recharge ONCE … in a matter of minutes. .....

The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to freeze an appeals court ruling blocking it from coercing or encouraging social media companies to censor speech. The Fifth Circuit found Friday that the White House, Surgeon General, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI violated the First Amendment, partially upholding a lower court’s decision in the free speech lawsuit Missouri v. Biden. While it ruled that the July injunction issued by District of Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty was “vague and broader than necessary,” it issued a revised version prohibiting the Biden administration from taking actions to...

A criminology professor at Florida State University suddenly left his lucrative position after it was discovered that he skewed statistical data to make racism seem more prevalent than it actually is. Eric Stewart, who left his $190,000-a-year job, has had five of his six studies taken down after allegations that he fabricated information by altering sample sizes. Though Stewart has denied these allegations, his sixth study, conducted in 2020, drew the attention of an FSU committee, who gathered to discuss Stewart’s findings, per the Daily Mail. Stewart has not shown up to work in the last months, which could mark...

According to the Guardian, despite rising numbers of human trafficking victims, prosecutions for the crime have steadily declined. Though there are an estimated 28 million trafficking victims at any given time, according to the U.S. Department of State, in 2015, there were only 19,000 prosecutions worldwide, and by 2022 that figure had declined by 4,000. Part of the problem could be the increasingly liberal, expansive abortion laws which play a part in covering up sex traffickers’ crimes. The issue of human trafficking becomes even more sinister when we consider the alarming intersection with trafficking and the absence of parental consent...

In May 2022, Luther Seminary helped to bring Beyoncé Mass at the Plymouth Congregational Church in South Minneapolis. Luther Seminary is the largest seminary of the heretical Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), with 412 students, and is about as progressive an institution as they come. Beyoncé Mass is “a womanist worship service that uses the music and personal life of Beyoncé as a tool to foster an empowering conversation about Black women—their lives, their bodies, and their voices.” It was created and organized by theologian and ‘reverend’ Yolanda Norton, who, as the Chair of Black Church Studies at San...

White-Caine is the false teacher scandal-riddled head pastrix of City of Dreams church. She’s been rubbing shoulders with NAR ne’er do wells for decades now, absorbing and parroting back tall tales, vision from God, prophetic utterance, and every wacky theology to come down the pike and from the mumbled mind of charismatic misfits. We last wrote about her after she repeatedly partnered with the demonic Moonies cult, was accused of serial adultery by one of her former husbands, being accused of iinappropriately accepting money from the legendary band ‘Journey’ and insisting that Christians must not convert Jews. During a recent...

Dollar items are vanishing at McDonald's. The next thing to go is self-serve drinks. The burger chain told Insider it was phasing out soda-fountain machines in dining rooms across the US.

President Biden said Thursday that so-called MAGA Republicans are failing while making the pitch for his own economic agenda and achievements under the banner of “Bidenomics.” “You hear from our friends on the other side, the MAGA Republicans, what’s wrong with America. Everything’s wrong with America. They keep telling us America’s failing,” the president said in remarks at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Md. “Well they’re wrong: They’re failing. America’s not failing, America’s winning, and there’s one reason for it: you. At the event, which looked a lot like a campaign speech, the president said that his agenda is...

On this date in 1949, Syrian President Husni al-Za’im and his Prime Minister Mohsen Berazi were seized in a military coup, conducted to a court martial, and immediately put to death. An ethnic Kurd, al-Za’im had cut his teeth in the armed forces of two different empires — the Ottoman and the French — before Syria attained independence following World War II. The ambitious al-Za’im had got out from under a Vichy-era prison sentence for corruption and established himself as army chief of staff in time for the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Syrian forces’ underwhelming performance in this campaign set the...

Seven years after Brexit, the writing is on the wall. But an official return isn't palatable for either sidePeter Foster has spent his life nurturing networks of contacts with insights and views that fill his new book about Brexit. The first half examines “what went wrong” with the British departure from the EU and the second half asks what can be done about it. What is being done is that process is going into reverse. As Foster relays, there is nothing certain or easy about this developing rehabilitation. But there are areas where the UK will or can move much...

Five-week-old Maryam underwent crucial spinal surgery at 24 weeksThe parents of a baby girl who underwent spinal surgery in the womb in Abu Dhabi have told of their joy as they prepare to fly her home. Liz Valentina Parra Rodriguez and Jason Mateo Moreno Gutierrez, from Colombia, had been advised by doctors in their homeland to terminate the pregnancy after a 24-week scan revealed their unborn child had spina bifida, in which the spine and spinal cord do not develop properly in the womb. Another Colombian doctor advised the couple to consider spina bifida repair before the baby was born....
