A “doxxing truck” is driving around the campus of Harvard University with digital billboards that display the names and photos of students who allegedly signed a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ violent attack that killed more than 1,200 people over the weekend. Giant video screens hung on the sides and back of the truck display the words “Harvard’s Leading Antisemites” in gothic script over a slideshow of Ivy Leaguers’ headshots and names in bold, red block letters, according to photos on social media. Nonprofit news watchdog Accuracy in Media was behind the truck, which showed the students involved in the...

The Justice Department is seeking 8 years in prison for a Pennsylvania woman accused of directing Jan. 6 rioters into the Capitol building with a bullhorn. Federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memo Wednesday that they are seeking eight years in prison for Rachel Marie Powell, 41, who was convicted of all charges brought against her in July. Obstruction of an official proceeding, destruction of government property, entering a restricted area with a weapon and engaging in violence on Capitol grounds were among her charges. The prosecutors said that they are seeking the eight-year sentence due to “her conduct on...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — In a move that has raised more than a few eyebrows in conservative, biblically-minded circles, Dr. Rex Horne has been appointed the new executive director of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC). Dr. Horne has had a long-standing relationship with former President Bill Clinton, serving as Clinton’s pastor during his tenure as governor of Arkansas. Given Clinton’s vocal support for pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ policies—positions fundamentally at odds with biblical teachings—the appointment of Dr. Horne warrants scrutiny. The ABSC Executive Board ratified Dr. Horne’s appointment during a special meeting on Tuesday, October 10. While some see his...

Explanation: Mu Cephei is a very large star. An M-class supergiant some 1500 times the size of the Sun, it is one of the largest stars visible to the unaided eye, and even one of the largest in the entire Galaxy. If it replaced the Sun in our fair Solar System, Mu Cephei would easily engulf Mars and Jupiter. Historically known as Herschel's Garnet Star, Mu Cephei is extremely red. Approximately 2800 light-years distant, the supergiant is seen near the edge of reddish emission nebula IC 1396 toward the royal northern constellation Cepheus in this telescopic view. Much cooler and...

Bill Ackman has doubled down on his push to have companies refuse employment opportunities to the Harvard students who signed a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ violent attack that killed more than 1,200 people over the weekend. The hedge fund billionaire who founded Pershing Square Capital Management held his ground after a Harvard law student slammed him for “harassment” in response to a social media post on X in which he demanded a list of the signatories of the controversial letter. “If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist...

Senior House leadership sources were utterly shocked and dismayed Wednesday night at the resistance by rank-and-file Republicans to potentially electing Scalise as speaker [cut] But look at where Scalise’s support came from. He scored the votes of the three non-voting delegates to Congress who are part of the Republican conference but can not vote for speaker on the floor: Dels. Amata Radewagen of American Samoa, James Moylan of Guam and Resident Commissioner Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon of Puerto Rico. Fox News was told that the fact that Scalise "won" because of the support of the three delegates infuriated some House Republicans. Those...

While it might not be on everyone's radar yet, Republicans are less than a month away from a major election that could shape the landscape in 2024 and have a profound impact on the party's future fortunes. Virginia is one of the few states that holds its state-wide elections on off years, and the balance of its General Assembly there hangs in the balance. Gov. Glenn Youngkin has been working non-stop to secure a majority, both to deliver tangible conservative wins and to redefine the narrative surrounding more recent GOP losses. Unfortunately, according to a new report, the Republican National...

A bombshell lawsuit claims that CBS’ “60 Minutes” has long been a cesspool of sex harassment — including allegations that star correspondent Lesley Stahl once asked a female job applicant whether she would be willing to “use her body to secure stories.” Alexandra Poolos, who worked as a producer for more than 10 years at the prestigious TV news program before she was fired in February last year, filed suit against CBS and its corporate parent, Paramount, in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, alleging rampant “misogyny” at the Tiffany Network. Among her explosive claims: In 2011, Poolos was interviewed for...

Lawmakers want to know if suspended Iran envoy was compromised by the Iran Experts Initiative Republican leaders on the Senate and House foreign affairs committees have opened a joint investigation into Biden administration Iran envoy Robert Malley's links to a secret Iranian government influence network that reportedly includes several of his closest associates, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Sen. James Risch (R., Idaho) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas)—the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, respectively—are asking the State Department for information on whether Malley was compromised by the...

Actor Robert De Niro called President Donald Trump “evil” in an unhinged speech shared with attendees at an event aimed at stripping the former president of his political power. The anti-Trump actor reiterated his sentiments in a prepared speech before a scheduled appearance at The New Republic’s Stop Trump Summit in New York City on Wednesday. While De Niro was due to deliver the speech in person, he canceled attending the event after testing positive for COVID-19.

The Hill columnist Juan Williams is taking heat on social media after he penned a column online in which he hailed President Joe Biden as “our third Black president.” Williams, an author and political commentator for Fox News, praised Biden on Monday for “elevating” black people while providing “real help for Black America.” He began his column by noting that author Toni Morrison “famously labeled Bill Clinton as ‘the first Black president’.” Barack Obama is “the first actual Black president,” according to Williams, who added that “by Morrison’s standard, President Joe Biden is our nation’s third Black president.”

(CBS DETROIT) - U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, is facing censure for her response to the Hamas attack on Israel. U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Watersmeet, filed a censure resolution against Tlaib Wednesday, saying she has a "long history of making anti-semitic and anti-Israeli remarks."

It is voting for a party and a platform of socialism. The candidate doesn't matter, just as Joe has shown that he doesn't matter. He isn't running a damn thing. He's poorly reading from a teleprompter and taking cues from note cards handed to him. True democrats know this and don't care. The party is all that matters. The press is instructed to read only pre-prepared questions that Joe has already been given the answers to. He can't even do that at a basic level anymore, so they just hop him up on drugs to get a few semi lucid...

The French government announced it was banning pro-Palestinian protests on Thursday, explaining they cause a disturbance to public order and give rise to racial hatred. Paris announced it would arrest organisers and deport “trouble makers.” French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin wrote to the nation’s departments and regions on Thursday, informing them he had banned “pro-Palestinian demonstrations” because they are “likely to generate disturbances to public order,” the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported on Thursday, claiming to have had sight of his communication to regional leaders.

Satirical site The Onion stirred outrage by joking that the deadly Hamas attack “could not have come at a better time” for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The article, published Tuesday, included faux-quotes from the Israeli leader, whose attempts to push through judiciary reforms had divided the country. “Personally, while I can’t speak for everyone, this senseless, violent, and disgusting attack that killed over 1,000 Israeli citizens, including women, children, and the elderly, is exactly what the doctor ordered,” the story said. “Now, I’m not saying it was good or anything, but let’s just say that old Bibi needed a...

VIDEO AT LINK............... Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Crews working on a road construction project in a Florida city's downtown made a surprising discovery under the ground -- a 19th century boat. The Florida Department of Transportation said crews were working on a drainage improvement project in the area of King Street and State Road A1A, at the base of the Bridge of Lions in downtown St. Augustine, when they came across some timber. They soon discovered the timber was part of a well-preserved wooden ship measuring about 20 feet long. Southeastern Archaeological Research, or SEARCH, had been contracted before the...

Ron DeSantis is struggling in GOP Primary polling in North Carolina, with the latest survey from the John Locke Foundation being his worst showing yet. The Florida Governor has just 12% support in the poll of 600 likely Republican Primary voters, which was conducted Oct. 8 and Oct. 9. That puts him 40 points behind Donald Trump’s 52%, and in a statistical tie with Nikki Haley’s 11% given the poll’s margin of error of +/- 3.88 percentage points. An additional 12% of respondents were undecided, with Vivek Ramaswamy’s 5% good for fourth place among actual candidates. The pollster calls the...

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says the US is “actively discussing” with Israel and Egypt efforts to ensure safe passage from Gaza for civilians. “We support safe passage for civilians. Civilians are not to blame for what Hamas has done. They didn’t do anything wrong, and we continue to support safe passage,” Kirby says during a press briefing. He acknowledges that the countries have not yet secured said safe passage but are still working to secure such a humanitarian corridor. “Civilians are protected under the laws of armed conflict, and they should be given every opportunity to...

NewsNation host Dan Abrams blasted cable news rival MSNBC for allowing its anchors to “pander to the far-left” in their coverage of Hamas’ deadly terror attack on Israel. Abrams, the host of NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live,” singled out MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin, Mehdi Hasan, and Ali Velshi for saying the Hamas assault — which has claimed the lives of at least 900 Israelis — was the result of “failed policies” by Israel and the US. “Right. It’s Israel’s fault. It’s the United States fault,” Abrams said mockingly in comments first reported by the news site Mediaite. “The policies that somehow justify...
