LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two Jefferson County polls will be open 30 minutes later than normal on Tuesday after they were deemed inaccessible earlier in the day. The Jefferson County Circuit Court ordered that the polls at Blue Lick Elementary and Highland Baptist Church remain open until 6:30 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. because of disruptions that closed the polls. The court order said that precincts 141 and 145 closed on Tuesday morning for 30 minutes because of a police pursuit in the area. This caused Blue Lick Elementary to be locked down and inaccessible during that time. Precincts L170, L171,...

Leftist billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations finally released a statement condemning Hamas’ hellish attacks on Israel nearly three-and-a-half weeks after the Oct. 7 massacre. However, it did so while trying to make believe that the fortune it funneled into groups championing Hamas' barbarism didn’t exist. The OSF Fact Sheet, “The Open Society Foundations in Israel and Palestine,” which supplemented the organization's Nov. 1 press release on Hamas, attempted to equivocate the conflict involving the Jewish state and the terrorist organization as a territorial dispute between Israel and “Occupied Palestinian Territories.” OSF flexed its decades-long bona fides of “proudly support[ing]...

Mark Regev interviewed by PBS News Hour's Nick Schifrin. Regev explains, we don't know about the numbers. We can not trust anything that comes out of Gaza controlled by Hamas. Hamas don't wear uniform. Hamas controls the pictures. Ask yourself. Are We are only killing children? Nick Schifrin, desperately to diminish this, hurried to answer "but women and children died." How does that disprove Regev's assertion

American coal is rebounding! Yay. Enough of Unicorn Farts.

There are actually more unemployed people of working age as a percentage now than the height of The Great Depression. While the '70s stagflation was bad, the country still had a vibrant middle class and the process of gutting our infrastructure was just getting started. Main Street was still alive in the 1970s and The Great Financialization of the 1980s and 90s that created record wealth inequality hadn't begun. People talk like interest rates were 20% for the entire decade. It wasn't until 1979 that interest rates climbed that high, and only stayed there for two years. The massive interest...

Voting machines in multiple Pennsylvania precincts were shut down after they flipped cast votes from one candidate to another, the very same issue that was found to have happened in multiple states in 2020 as unprecedented election fraud gripped the nation. The shutting down of the voting machines in Pennsylvania could mark the first time that a government has actually acknowledged that the machines are flipping votes.The vote flipping is being chalked up to a human-induced “coding error” and came in Pennsylvania’s Northampton County, where voters were deciding whether two incumbent Pennsylvania Superior Court Judges should keep their jobs or...

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley hit competitor Ron DeSantis in a new ad on Tuesday ahead of the third GOP primary debate, labeling the Florida governor a liar and attacking him for his record on fracking and offshore drilling. The ad, which is titled “These boots are made for lying,” included a clip from a previous debate, during which Haley claimed DeSantis was against fracking and drilling, and DeSantis shook his head, saying “it’s not true.” The ad’s title also serves to remind viewers of rumors that DeSantis wears lifts in his boots, which Haley has previously jabbed him over....

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Has “Uttered Plenty of Material Heresies”: Former Vatican Doctrinal HeadIn a new interview with LifeSite News, Cardinal Müller, the former head of the Holy Office said that Pope Francis “has already uttered plenty of material heresies,” but that since these are not formal heresies, Pope Francis has not lost his office. He affirmed the theory of St. Robert Bellarmine, whose opinion was that the pope would lose his office immediately upon becoming a formal heretic.We have already commented at OnePeterFive to point out that Bellarmine’s view here (according to Bellarmine’s own estimation!) is merely a probable opinion...

[Catholic Caucus] Calling "Mighty Shepherds"!"As one sees the power of the Antichrist spreading, one can only pray that the Lord will give us mighty shepherds to defend his Church against the power of evil in this hour of need."- Pope Benedict XVI(Letter to a longstanding correspondent) I have related before a telling episode in Father Crane's workaday life that captured the devilish essence of our post-conciliar times. It involved fierce criticism and great praise received in short order.First came a scathing missive from a fellow Jesuit who railed against the "scurrilous" work of Christian Order, demanding that Father cease and...

OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland Education Association passed a non-binding resolution Monday night demanding "freedom for Palestine," a ceasefire and "Israeli de-escalation," which some fear could lead to more antisemitism at Oakland schools.

A mother in Connecticut was arrested and charged with driving under the influence while she dropped her child off at middle school Monday, according to authorities. Christina Morrissette, 33, of Mashantucket, was taken into custody shortly before noon when police were alerted to an intoxicated person at Ledyard Middle School, the Hartford Courant reported. Morrissette allegedly pulled into the parent drop-off area and started “behaving erratically” while dropping off her child, the outlet said, citing school officials. Morrissette then failed multiple field sobriety tests and was charged with driving under the influence and risk of injury to a minor. Her...

The ongoing “fraud” trial led by Letitia James in New York City continues to unfold, and to anyone watching, it’s apparent that the highly biased TDS judge is already chomping at the bit to hand down a “guilty” verdict. This has always been the predetermined outcome for the first tragic act against Trump, and the rest will follow the same way. But President Trump understands this game and isn’t just rolling over. He actually floored Judge Engoron by whipping out a bombshell document right there on the witness stand—a total game-changer for this sham trial. And the judge’s reaction? It...
