Target’s sales slumped last quarter and the retail giant is predicting a slow holiday shopping season. Target’s sales tumbled 4.9% — the second quarter in a row sales have dropped. And the company forecast a weak holiday, as customers continue to forgo discretionary purchases like furniture, electronics and some clothing. Target expects sales to decline by mid-single digits this holiday season. Shoppers have become more cautious in the face of inflation, higher interest rates and the resumption of student loan repayments. Consumers aren’t spending on home improvement projects the way they were during the pandemic, Home Depot said Tuesday. Retail...

Former President Donald Trump will remain on Michigan's ballot for the state's 2024 presidential primary, a judge ruled on Tuesday. Trump's opponents have argued in multiple states that the former president is ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment. They state that Trump's actions surrounding the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol constituted insurrection against the U.S. Michigan Court of Claims Judge James Redford rejected that argument, however. "The judicial action of removing a candidate from the presidential ballot and prohibiting them from running essentially strips Congress of its ability to ‘by a vote of two-thirds of each House,...

The diverse English city of Bradford has announced that for the Christmas season, it will raise a “multi-faith festive tree” in the latest assault on Christianity, or at least the cultural vestiges of it, in Britain. The West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce’s Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Business Committee said this week that City Hall will see a “multi-faith” evergreen erected in front of it during Christmas to celebrate the multicultural nature of the city, with over a third of its population being from minority backgrounds per the latest census.

Over 2,000 sociologists (and climbing), from some of the world’s most prestigious universities, have proudly signed a letter of support for Gaza after the October 7 attack on Israel. They accuse Israel, not the Palestinians nor their Hamas gunmen, of genocide. Their letter states:We are witnessing internationally supported genocide. This latest siege comes as a continuation and escalation of the daily violence Palestinians faced for decades from Israeli colonization; an apartheid regime whose occupation is in clear violation of international law, but persists with the support of powerful governments globally.Perhaps these students of other societies should read up a bit...

The Biden administration keeps talking about the urgent need for Israel to have a post-war plan for Gaza. What that really means is that it wants the PLO to take over Gaza. Netanyahu has opposed that for now. The Palestinian Authority is run by Fatah, the body behind the PLO, and is just another Islamic terrorist group. And parts of it claimed to have taken part in the Oct 7 massacres. But none of that is stopping the Biden administration from its obsession.The thinking is that if the Palestinian Authority takes over Gaza, it can force negotiations on a Two-State...

Nurses bustled in and out of the hospital room during his first days of life and frequently pricked his heel to check his blood, Lovaglio recalled.

Lacking power at the state level, conservatives are leaning into local governance to protest California’s progressive politics. The fight in Huntington Beach could be a harbinger of what’s to come.

During an oversight hearing for the General Services Administration, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) criticized Chair James Comer (R-KY) for speaking to Fox News about President Biden's potential business dealing with his brother James Biden. This comes as Chair Comer issued subpoenas for James Biden, Hunter Biden, and business associates as a part of an impeachment inquiry into the president. Rep. Moskowitz proceeded to refer to a story, accusing the chair of concerning business dealings with his brother. Chair Comer responded by calling the story, "bullshit" and implying that Rep. Moskowitz, or those who believe the story, are "dumb" and "financially...

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has extended a sanctions waiver in order to release another $10 billion in frozen funds for Iran. According to the Associated Press, the four-month extension will allow the Iranian regime access to previously frozen $10 billion in electricity revenues. The Biden admin insists that the terror-linked Islamic dictatorship will use the funds for “humanitarian aid.” However, experts have repeatedly warned that giving Iran to access frozen funds will free up money in Tehran’s money reserves. By freeing up Iran’s reserves, the regime will be able to continue sponsoring terrorism and developing nuclear weapons. The sanctions...

Tuesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned Iran was the driving force behind Hamas and the threat it poses against Israel. The South Carolina Republican told FNC host Sean Hannity that Iran was “emboldened” by the weakness of the Biden administration. Partial transcript as follows: HANNITY: Senator, I want to go to the bigger picture and I certainly understand the sensitivity having Prime Minister Netanyahu on last night. He says, you know, there can be no victory without the destruction of Hamas. But if we’re going to really define victory, doesn’t Hezbollah have to be...

Thirty-five years ago today (November 2nd), the Internet Worm program was set loose to propagate on the Internet. Noting that now to the computing public (and cybersecurity professionals, specifically) often generates an "Oh, really?" response akin to stating that November 2nd is the anniversary of the inaugural broadcast of the first BBC TV channel (1936), and the launch of Sputnik 2 with Laika aboard (1957). That is, to many, it is ho-hum, ancient history. Perhaps that is to be expected after 35 years -- approximately the length of a human generation. (As an aside, I have been teaching at Purdue...

The protest was attended by both Democrat and Republican lawmakers. 900 attendees from the Detroit area were left stranded at Dulles after bus drivers refused to transport them to the rally. The Biden administration skipped the march and rally. At the same time every single Senate Democrat voted to stop aid to Israel. Unlike the pro-Palestinian crowd, the crowd sang the National Anthem at their rally yesterday. A vile leftist chanted Heil Hitler at the crowd. Newsweek reported: Hundreds of people...
