More than 100 people were killed at an event honoring former Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Wednesday in what local authorities are calling a “terrorist” attack. Thousands of Iranians had gathered at Soleimani’s gravesite in Kerman to mark the fourth anniversary of his death — carrying photos of the former head of the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force when authorities say two bombs went off. The first explosion occurred just 700 meters from Soleimani’s grave, while the second was a kilometer away, Iranian national media reports. Graphic video shared online later showed the crowds running away as emergency crews responded...

Why are every state’s election rolls so dirty – housing tens of thousands of ineligible voters? The reason is voter rolls are never reconciled against other data. Every U.S. corporation must reconcile its financial statements. Cash flow statements must reconcile with the income statement and balance sheet – transparency comes via comparison with known points of reference. Election voter rolls reconcile against NOTHING! Thus, in every state, there are active voters older than Abraham Lincoln – still voting and registering in recent years. Alabama and Kansas for sure! Working with the Georgia election integrity team for months, Fractal developed an...

Texas police believe an illegal immigrant suspect charged with murdering Lizbeth Medina, a 16-year-old girl found stabbed to death in her bathtub Dec. 5, likely stalked the teenager before he allegedly took her life. "More than anything, I want something good to come out of this tragedy. I want to find a way that we can make better laws because, as you know, this person shouldn't have even been here," Lizbeth's mother, Jacqueline Medina, told Fox News Digital. "If protocols were followed, he probably shouldn't have even been in the country. So, I definitely want something good to come out...

Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity announced he is leaving New York on his radio show Tuesday afternoon, saying that he was “broadcasting now from my new home in the free state of Florida.” A longtime New Yorker, Hannity detailed why he left the Democrat-run city. “Tonight, we are now broadcasting from my new home, the great free state of Florida,” he said. “Like so many Americans, I left New York for good and am now in a state with, let’s see, warmer weather, law and order, better education, more freedom, better quality of life, and guess what — no...

New York Times writer Mara Gay said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that she believed Harvard University ex-president Claudine Gay resigned over the right’s racist attacks on “academic freedom,” not the several instances of plagiarism discovered. Gay said, “The thing that really disturbed me was the unrelenting campaign from the right and from some conservative activists to slander, discredit, and ultimately, I guess, somebody used the phrase, ‘we’ve claimed a scalp’ on social media, to, essentially, unseat Gay and other presidents, as well, when they don’t like not just the handling of the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7th,...

Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel threatened to sue NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday after the football player mentioned Kimmel in a conversation about the disgraced financier Jefferey Epstein. Kimmel said Rodgers had spoken recklessly and that his works could put Kimmel’s family in danger. “Dear *&**hole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality,” Kimmel wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly...

A new state law is now in effect, putting more restrictions on when and how law enforcement agencies can share a suspect's mugshot with the public on social media. The change does not just apply to future social media posts. It also requires police and sheriff's departments to scrub through posts from years ago and remove them.

In the years between Richard Nixon’s resignation as president in 1974 and his death in 1994, there was plenty of time for reconsiderations of his career, his crimes, and his legacy. Biographers often focused on his complicated character and his inner demons. As Republicans turned to the more politically palatable but also more reactionary Reagan style of conservatism, Democrats often noted that Nixon wasn’t all bad when it came to domestic policy; he signed the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, appointed the Supreme Court justice who wrote Roe v. Wade, and even committed the supreme conservative ideological heresy of...

WASHINGTON — The federal government’s gross national debt has surpassed $34 trillion, a record high that foreshadows the coming political and economic challenges to improve America’s balance sheet in the coming years. The U.S. Treasury Department issued a report Tuesday logging U.S. finances, which have become a source of tension in a politically divided Washington that could possibly see parts of the government shutdown without an annual budget in place. Republican lawmakers and the White House agreed last June to temporarily lift the nation’s debt limit, staving off the risk of what would be a historic default. That agreement lasts...

On December 29, on Facebook and X, I asked this question: “What do you personally believe was the biggest revelation in American society in the last year — in other words, the cultural or political or spiritual phenomenon that suddenly became crystal clear?” Naturally, I received a wide range of responses, but more than anything, I saw responses like this: “The blatant Antisemitism that is allowed, and apparently encouraged in this country without consequence.”

[Catholic Caucus] Fiducia Supplicans and Diabolical LogicWe have already written about the diabolical logic (or sophism).[1] We explained how the modernists do not use logic, but sophism (cunning fabrication) and based on false premises, they reach false conclusions in order to deceive people. That is why sophism can rightly be called diabolical logic. Declaration Fiducia supplicans,[2] published on 18 December 2023 right before Christmas, in which the possibility of blessing same-sex couples and couples in irregular relationships is opened, is another example of sophism. Of course, many recognized it immediately, and it is no wonder that it caused a real...

On Tuesday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press Now,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston stated that the sanctuary city will “hit a capacity at which we just won’t be able anymore to manage the amount of inflow” and “we’re hitting a breaking point at which there’s just not enough volume of work or housing in the city to support this ongoing volume,” and so they’ll have to consider turning away buses of migrants. Host Garrett Haake asked, “[Y]ou’ve said you’ve not considered turning away any of these buses of migrants that are coming to your city. But is there a point...
