The White House has pushed back against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims that the US is "withholding" weapons and ammunition from Israel, hours after he lashed out at the Biden administration. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed an ongoing pause remained on one particular shipment of bombs, echoing comments from Secretary of State Antony Blinken hours beforehand, but she insisted no other weapons were being withheld. "We genuinely do not know what he's talking about," Ms Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

Willie Mays, the spirited center fielder whose brilliance at the plate, in the field and on the basepaths for the Giants led many to call him the greatest all-around player in baseball history, died on Tuesday. He was 93.

Abstract This article examines Rockefeller Republicanism and its status within the Republican Party by looking at the evolution of Nelson Rockefeller’s support for social welfare policy between 1958 and 1975. New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller regularly appears in histories of modern conservatism as the embodiment of the liberalism that conservatives rejected, but these works rarely account for the entirety of Rockefeller’s career. Rather than focus on Rockefeller’s challenges to the national Republican Party in 1960 and 1964, which results in an incomplete representation of Rockefeller Republicanism, this article reassesses moderate Republicanism’s perceived dominance and Rockefeller’s advocacy for liberal domestic policies...

Security guard Matthew Dolloff fatally shot Lee Keltner in the October 2022 confrontation.. Colorado's second-highest court on Thursday concluded 9News can be held liable for the actions of a security guard who accompanied a producer during an October 2020 rally in downtown Denver and ended up fatally shooting a man after a brief confrontation. At the same time, a three-judge panel for the Court of Appeals agreed 9News could not otherwise be liable for negligently hiring or supervising Matthew Dolloff because the evidence showed the organization did not employ or direct him, instead obtaining Dolloff's services through multiple layers of...

[Catholic Caucus] French Catholic Voters Reject Globalism, Liberal BishopsA fascinating takeaway from last week’s European parliamentary elections is the extent to which French Catholic voters have not so much drifted but hurled themselves to the right. According to an exclusive survey by French pollster IFOP for news site La Croix, 42 percent of practicing Catholics voted on June 9 for so-called “far right” parties. That’s more than double the 18 percent who voted for the “far right” in the 2019 elections. 28 percent of practicing Catholics voted for left-wing parties and a paltry 12 percent voted for centrist Valérie Hayer,...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said she believes the women who have come forward alleging that former Vice President Joe Biden touched them without their consent. “I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” Harris told reporters at a presidential campaign stop in Nevada on Tuesday. Biden, who is expected to announce a 2020 presidential bid soon, has been accused of inappropriately touching or kissing four women. All of them said his behavior was inappropriate and made them uncomfortable. Asked whether Biden should still run for president, Harris responded...

One of Russia's newest and most advanced submarines, which just left Cuba, appears to be "falling apart" and to have damage to its hull, an open-source-intelligence analyst said.Marijn Markus, a managing consultant at Capgemini, shared four photos of the nuclear-powered Kazan in a LinkedIn post on Monday.Markus said it appeared the sub's soundproofing panels were "falling off" the front part of the submarine's hull. He said that would make the vessel "very" loud underwater and compromise its stealth capabilities.He also pointed to what he described as a "gaping" hole at the sub's midsection."While docked, Russian divers were seen around the...

My name is Anna and this is my story: I found out I was pregnant in September 2020. I registered the pregnancy with my GP and had a phone appointment with my midwife. I wanted to keep the baby at first. The baby’s father was living abroad at that time and distanced himself, only replying to my messages occasionally. I asked him if he would register the baby as his but he said no. I asked for a few days hoping he would change his mind. Eventually I realised I wouldn’t get any help from him. I started desperately looking...

Jens Stoltenberg, the 13th secretary general of NATO, says that the alliance is in talks to deploy more nuclear weapons and modernize their delivery systems. Stoltenberg told the Telegraph in the UK: “I won’t go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. That’s exactly what we’re doing.” Stoltenberg emphasized that NATO is a “nuclear alliance.” He explained: “N​ATO’s aim is, of course, a world without nuclear weapons. But as long as nuclear weapons exist we will remain a nuclear alliance, because a world...

A so-called “trans woman” who flashed his prosthetic breasts during a White House “Pride” event last year has been accused of sexually assaulting at least five people. To recap, Townhall reported last year how a transgender model went topless on the White House lawn during a Pride event: The transgender, “Rose” Montoya, 27, met President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden. In a video, he unhooked his dress, then cupped and shook his breast implants in front of the Truman balcony where the pride flag hung in the background. As Leah noted, in response to criticism, Montoya said “going...
