Early results from Tuesdays runoff indicate District 23 will have a new senator. Twelve-year sitting state Sen. Katrina Shealy conceded to her opponent Carlisle Kennedy with one-third of precincts reported, favoring Kennedy. Shealy said she called Kennedy and left a voice message congratulating him. “There is no pathway to victory,” she said about her decision to concede. “I’m actually better off. But the people of South Carolina that really need me, the disabled community, the veterans, the children... and the women,” Shealy told the crowd as one women yelled out the women as well. “But this ain’t the last you’ve...

Hillary Clinton, noting she is "the only person" to have debated both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, shared her thoughts on the upcoming presidential debate. In an op-ed published in the New York Times on Tuesday, Clinton reflected on her own experience debating Trump and offered some advice to Biden ahead of Thursday's matchup at CNN studios in Atlanta. She wrote that Trump "interrupts and bullies -- he even stalked me around the stage at one point -- because he wants to appear dominant and throw his opponent off balance." Clinton said any attempt to refute his remarks would be...

Non-citizens, migrants, and illegal aliens will be permitted to apply for a driver’s license in Illinois starting on July 1. Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B.

[Catholic Caucus] Defending Catholic Tradition with Vatican journalist, Aldo Maria Valli"Most bishops are increasingly doubtful about this papacy and there are criticisms. However, these are expressed in hushed tones, never openly." -Aldo Maria Valli Journalist, writer, and television personality, Aldo Maria Valli (born in Rho, Milan, on February 3, 1958) is one of the most esteemed Italian Vaticanists. What initially drew my attention to him is the path he took from a Catholic perspective influenced by the currents animated by the "spirit of the Second Vatican Council" to the discovery of the perennial Catholic Tradition. Today, he is part of...

JJ Redick was named the new LA Lakers coach in an introductory news conference that wasn't a stranger to controversy on Monday. The former NBA player is now taking on a new challenge with the Californians as his first coaching experience at any level, but this journey might be off to an odd start. Businesswoman Halleemah Mash, who worked with Duke's basketball team, on Tuesday claimed that the only time she was called the N-word by a white man, Redick was the person who said it. I’ve only been called the N word to my face by a white man...

MARIA BARTIROMO: Ronny Jackson says that Biden will have been at Camp David for a full week before the debate and they're probably experimenting with getting doses right, giving Biden medicine ahead of the debate.

EDMONTON — Following Canada's loss of the Stanley Cup to America for the 31st time in a row, international authorities have confirmed that Canada will indeed lose its status as a recognized country, as Stanley Cup tradition demands. Canadian sources have confirmed that countries across the globe are already in the process of withdrawing ambassadors and embassies from the former country, while NATO has already passed a motion withdrawing Canada from the organization. "As much as it pains us to do this, we can simply no longer stand by and continue to pretend that Canada is a real nation," commented...

[Catholic Caucus] "He who keeps silent is to be taken as consenting…”The miscarriage of justice in the case of Marko Rupnik—the appalling farce it has been from the start—is sadly not an aberration under Pope Francis. The Rupnik Affair has indelibly stained this pontificate.“Who am I to judge the Rupnik stories?”Pope Francis’s Communicator-in-Chief, Dr. Paolo Ruffini, asked that rhetorical question on Friday in an Atlanta, GA hotel ballroom, in front of journalists, one of whom—Colleen Dulle of America Magazine, it happens—had asked him to explain his dicastery’s rationale for continuing to use reproductions of artwork by a disgraced priest who...

WASHINGTON — Some of the 51 “Spies Who Lie” were active CIA contractors when they claimed files from first son Hunter Biden’s laptop had “the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election — a fact that was uneasily noted inside the agency at the time, new records acquired by The Post show. Former CIA acting director Michael Morell, who previously told Congress he organized the Oct. 19, 2020, letter to give Joe Biden a “talking point” against then-President Donald Trump ahead of a debate, was a contractor at the time, the agency informed Congress. Ex-agency inspector general...

Taylor Lorenz pushed false claim LA synagogue was auctioning Palestinian land.. Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz on Monday pushed a false claim that a Los Angeles synagogue was auctioning off Palestinian land this week—a conspiracy theory that led to violent, anti-Semitic protests outside the Jewish house of worship on Sunday. Lorenz—who covers social media for the Post and often complains about being targeted by online harassment—reposted multiple comments on X, formerly Twitter, defending the synagogue protesters, promoting the false allegations, and slamming the media, including her former employer, the New York Times, for failing to give the allegations oxygen. The...

It appears Bannon's New York criminal case is no longer assigned to Justice Merchan:
