@Nigel_Farage LIVE: The Revolt Is Growing

Liz Cheney lost Wyoming by almost 40 points almost setting a modern-day record for her loss to Harriet Hageman so you'd think she'd avoid making digs at anyone else about 'crowd size' but ... well, she's Liz Cheney. And nobody ever accused her of being all that bright.Then again, she may be feeling just how irrelevant she really has become and thought sucking up to Taylor Swift while dunking on Trump would garner her some attention which it DID, but not the kind she wanted.

The ​​U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will take up a case on a state law that bans medically transitioning children.

Donald Trump’s team claimed Monday that he was “tortured” in Fulton County Jail during his August surrender on election tampering raps — as it peddled coffee cups with his mugshot. “I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what?” a new fundraising pitch from his camp said.“I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!” The missive offered fans the opportunity to purchase one of his “limited edition” coffee cups featuring the mugshot of a scowling Trump during his booking. At...

Gunmen opened fire at a synagogue, an Orthodox church and a police post in attacks across two cities in Russia's North Caucasus region of Dagestan on Sunday, killing an Orthodox priest and multiple police officers, the region's head said.

A Florida firefighter killed his wife in an apparent murder-suicide just weeks after she opened up online about how his grueling work schedule left him “exhausted” and “never functioning 100% at home.” St. Johns County Fire Rescue Lt. Shawn Yarbrough, 46, and his wife, financial adviser Andrea Nichole Nahrup Yarbrough, 34, were found dead in the bathroom of their St. Augustine home earlier this month, the sheriff’s department said. Police were called to the couple’s home on June 13 after Andrea’s mother requested a welfare check when she couldn’t reach her. Andrea’s death is considered a homicide, while her husband...

it will take about an hour and a half to watch. Excellent documentary that gives an accurate picture of America's founding, the political struggles of the last 200+ years and gives the you a good understanding of how we got from a loose confederation that valued limited government, decentralized power, individual liberty and a non interventionist foreign policy to a bloated dying empire constantly meddling and engaging in constant wars all around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzg-yyhZPP0

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Stinging jellyfish, rays with their whip-like tails and sharks on the hunt are some ocean hazards that might typically worry beachgoers. But rip currents are the greatest danger and account for the most beach rescues every year. Six people drowned in rip currents over a recent two-day period in Florida, including a couple vacationing on Hutchinson Island from Pennsylvania with their six children and three young men on a Panhandle holiday from Alabama, officials say. About 100 people drown from rip currents along U.S. beaches each year, according to the United States Lifesaving Association. And more...

You Keep Using the Term ‘Authoritarian’You know the term “authoritarian.” You think you know what it means. An authoritarian dad, boss, or government says: my way or the highway. They are forever barking orders and see compliance as the answer to all human problems. There is no room for uncertainty, adaptation to time and place, or negotiation. It’s ruling by personal dictate while tolerating no dissent. To be authoritarian is to be inhumane, to rule with arbitrary and capricious imposition. It can also mean to be ruled impersonally by a machine regardless of the cost. Sounds like a conventional government...

A US bankruptcy court trustee is planning to shut down conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars media platform and liquidate its assets to help pay the $1.5 billion in lawsuit judgments Jones owes for repeatedly calling the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a hoax. In an “emergency” motion filed Sunday in Houston, trustee Christopher Murray indicated publicly for the first time that he intends to “conduct an orderly wind-down” of the operations of Infowars’ parent company and “liquidate its inventory.” Murray, who was appointed by a federal judge to oversee the assets in Jones’ personal bankruptcy case, did not give...

Explanation: What if we could see back to the beginning of the universe? We could see galaxies forming. But what did galaxies look like back then? These questions took a step forward recently with the release of the analysis of a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image that included the most distant object yet discovered. Most galaxies formed at about 3 billion years after the Big Bang, but some formed earlier. Pictured in the inset box is JADES-GS-z14-0, a faint smudge of a galaxy that formed only 300 million years after the universe started. In technical terms, this galaxy lies...

Sunday’s terrorist attacks in Dagestan that left at least 19 people dead have highlighted Russia’s growing difficulties in managing a tide of Islamist terror at home as its security forces are engaged in the war in Ukraine. The attacks, carried out by four gunmen in Dagestan’s capital, Makhachkala, and two in the seaside city of Derbent, appeared to catch Dagestani officials by surprise. At least 15 police officers were among those killed, and the attackers also burned down a synagogue and set fire to a church in acts that Russian officials are clearly concerned could lead to a tide of...

WASHINGTON — The US condemns the “shocking” video of a wounded Palestinian tied to the hood of a military vehicle by IDF soldiers in the West Bank over the weekend. “This practice is absolutely unacceptable. Humans should never be used as human shields. The IDF should swiftly investigate what happened and hold people accountable,” US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says, when asked about the clip during a press briefing.
