WASHINGTON, July 18, 1864. By the President of the United States of America: A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, by the Act, approved July 4, 1864, entitled "An Act further to regulate and provide for She enrolling and calling out the National forces, and for other purposes," it is provided that the President of the United States may, at his discretion, at any time hereafter, call for any number of men as volunteers, for the respective terms of one, two and three years for military service, and "that, in case the quota or any part thereof, of any town, township, ward of a...

What does President Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 White House race look like? According to an NBC News report Friday, members of the octogenarian’s own family are working through scenarios dealing with that very question right now. The report cites two people familiar with the discussions. It sets out one proviso of the discussions is that Biden has to keep his reputation in tact through the exit while not giving former President Donald Trump any leeway to add to his growing political capital. The outlet continues: Biden’s family members have specifically discussed how he would want to end his...

No one could have foreseen, when the works started, that the construction of a ventilation tunnel on the east side of the San Paolino building, the new headquarters of the library of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, would lead to such an important discovery. The works, which were necessary to avoid water infiltrations that threatened the integrity of the site's book heritage, in fact, led to the discovery of the two ends of a schola tomb, with a tuff seat ending in elegant lion's paws, also known from other examples in Pompeii, such as the tomb of Mamia and that...

Just when the people thought they could let down their guard, their enemies showed up again. The wall was near completion. All that was left was to hang the doors in the gates (v. 1). When their enemies heard about it, they schemed to do harm, being driven by bitter envy. Envy occurs when a person lacks another's superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it. The enemies didn’t want to accept that the Jews had a new wall that would allow them to reclaim their city. So this time the attack...

An anti-Israel demonstration shut down Grand Central Terminal’s iconic main concourse to rush-hour travelers Thursday evening over security concerns before hundreds of angry protesters marched downtown. Several protesters were arrested in the demonstration, dubbed “Flood New York for Gaza,” which was organized by the Palestinian activist group Within in Our Lifetime. Protesters converged on Pershing Square outside of Grand Central Terminal around 5:30 p.m., where they briefly clashed with about 50 pro-Israel counter-protesters. The crowd quickly ballooned to hundreds strong — many of them masked — as they took to the streets and headed down Park Avenue, waving Palestinian flags...

I am not excusing the poor behavior of these students or their parents who are too tired, oblivious, or proud to correct it. I am not blaming educators who were doomed to fail by a system so convoluted it sabotages its own purpose. What I am calling for in the clearest possible words is this: raze the Department of Education and build a public education system worthy of American exceptionalism.

Simple ballistic math showed that capturing a bullet as Mr. Mills likely did in a photo was possible, Mr. Harrigan said. Mr. Mills was using a Sony digital camera capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. He took these photos with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second — extremely fast by industry standards.

With the arraignment of Donald Trump on charges brought under the Espionage Act, America’s cold civil war pitting blue cities against red regions has gotten considerably hotter. But that’s inevitable when you manipulate the nation’s laws to designate the leader of a movement representing one half of the country a traitor. Legal experts say the Justice Department’s case against Trump is strong. Even many on the right agree. “This indictment contains serious charges,” says Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence. The former president is “toast,” says his onetime Attorney General William Barr. But to others, the 37-count indictment looks like...

Time magazine has decided to change its August cover from the iconic image of Donald Trump raising his fist moments after surviving the assassination attempt after complaints from left-wing media writers that it will help his popularity. The propaganda rag has now opted to use a monochrome picture of the evacuated rally site, with the words “What Unites Us.”

A few uneducated comments about President Trump's conduct at the convention. I do think he has a degree of PTSD. (who wouldn't after an assassin's near miss?). Trump is getting his therapy from his loyal followers at the convention. His daily attendance was there to strengthen and support America's Lion. His long and ad lib middle speech was there to enjoy the love and support of his adoring supporters. As for the boilerplate promises that we have always heard from politicians these are goals and Trump will do better than anyone else to accomplish them. The Bible tells us that...

Jonathan, Jonathan: you're not supposed to say this kind of stuff on live national TV! Save it for whatever is the dark web successor to JournoList, where liberal media types can reach consensus on the approved lib talking points of the day! In a bizarre bit of saying the quiet part out loud, on today's Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire, MSNBC's Way Too Early host and Politico's White House bureau chief, issued marching orders to the rest of the liberal media. "I do think we need a moratorium here in the media about Donald Trump's -- praising Donald Trump's new tone....

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Biden administration announced Thursday it would forgive $1.2 billion in student debt held by 35,000 public service workers. President Joe Biden will have forgiven $168.5 billion across 4.76 million student loan borrowers following the most recent round of debt relief, according to the Department of Education. The billions in debt relief comes as the president lags in the polls behind former President Donald Trump and as he faces calls from within his party to drop out of the presidential election due to perceived electoral weakness. Some Republicans have criticized the Biden administration’s debt forgiveness programs as...

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a member known for using extreme rhetoric against Republicans, sent President Joe Biden a letter on the July 4th weekend comparing him to a “tiring baseball pitcher” The letter, which the New York Times reported Thursday, is a public rebuke from a former ally of Biden, who refuses to bow out of the presidential race. Most calls for Biden to step aside from top congressional Democrats have been via leaks to the media. In Raskin’s case, the congressman confirmed he sent the letter. “I wrote that letter to the president over the Fourth of July weekend,”...

NASA announced Wednesday that cost overruns and delays have forced it to cancel a planned Moon rover it already spent $450 million to develop, marking a significant setback for the agency's lunar exploration program. The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) was intended to explore the lunar south pole in search of ice and other resources, paving the way for planned crewed missions by American astronauts under the Artemis program later this decade. "Decisions like this are never easy," said Nicky Fox, NASA's associate administrator of the science mission directorate. "But in this case, the projected remaining expenses for VIPER...

The ‘View’ co-host Whoopi Goldberg delivered a sickening attack on Donald Trump‘s granddaughter, Kai Trump, for her speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC), urging voters “not to fall for it.” Kia Trump took to the stage on Wednesday night, telling viewers the former president was “just a normal grandpa.” However, Goldberg viciously mocked the teen’s stirring speech, arguing it was nothing more than an effort to “humanize” Trump. “I know his grandchild was up on the thing and they’re trying to humanize [Trump] and change your idea about who this guy is,” Whoopi ranted. “Don’t fall for that,” the...

When Joe Biden finally leaves the White House, he is set to get a pay raise. Because of his nearly 50 years in federal office, first as a senator, then vice president, and now .. his pension will be at least $13,000 higher than his current salary of $400,000, according to a National Taxpayers Union Foundation report. “Joe Biden represents a unique situation. With his long tenure in Congress and subsequent years as vice president and president, Joe Biden stands to benefit significantly from both systems, potentially receiving a combined payout starting at around $413,000,” said NTUF’s Demian Brady, vice...

The real responsibility for California’s high insurance premiums lies in state politicians’ and the governor’s policy decisions. Most insurers say because of California’s high cost to rebuild, they can’t keep premiums artificially low any longer. And why are California’s rebuilding and building costs so high? The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): As Ed Ring reported for the Globe, over 50+ years, “CEQA has acquired layers of legislative updates and precedent setting court rulings, warping it into a beast that denies clarity to developers and derails projects. When projects do make it through the CEQA gauntlet, the price of passage adds...

Riots broke out in a multicultural area of the English city of Leeds on Thursday evening, with hundreds of residents setting fires, throwing stones, and clashing with police. Horrific images poured out from the heavily Pakistani Harehills area in east Leeds, with a double-decker bus being burnt to a crisp, a police car overturned, and widespread chaos. The incident reportedly broke out after four children were removed from their families by social services, which apparently enraged the local population, The Telegraph reports.
