Mark Meadows, former chief of staff in the Trump White House, asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to toss out the 2020 election interference case against him.

Joe Biden has put another pro-life American in prison for protesting abortion – this time putting a young mother in federal prison for more than three years for preaching outside an abortion center. Bevelyn Beatty Williams, a 33-year-old mom of a 2-year-old daughter, received a sentence this week of three years and give months in prison. Williams was charged with violating the FACE Act, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Williams faces an additional charge of violating the FACE Act through force, which carries up to 10 years. For the nearly three decades since FACE was...

LONDON (AP) — A High Court judge on Monday upheld the British government’s emergency ban on puberty blockers, saying a study that found “very substantial risks and very narrow benefits” of the treatment supported the restriction as potentially being harmful. Justice Beverley Lang said a review commissioned by England’s National Health Service concluded that gender care is an area of “remarkably weak evidence” and young people have been caught up in a “stormy social discourse.” The group TransActual and a youth who cannot be named under a court order sought to challenge the decision of former Health secretary Victoria Atkins...

A young girl has been killed and seven people wounded in a mass stabbing attack at a children's dance event in Southport in the United Kingdom.

The event was for children between the ages of six and eleven. 25 children were participating at the time of the attack. Multiple victims have been evacuated to children's hospitals. Police stated that...

On Monday, Joe Biden allegedly plans to announce several dramatic new proposals to permanently change the nature of the Supreme Court, in an unprecedented assault on the Constitution. Politico reports that the reforms, first hinted at during Biden’s Oval Office address to the nation last week on his historic decision not to run for re-election, will include term limits for Supreme Court justices and a new code of ethics, among other radical proposals. “I’m going to call for Supreme Court reform, because this is critical to our democracy,” said Biden during his widely-panned address, when the 81-year-old president once again...

Will Proxy Wars in Yemen and Lebanon Ignite a Full-Scale Regional Confrontation? On Saturday, a rocket struck a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams, about 12 kilometers south of Lebanon and near the Syrian border, where dozens of children and teens were playing. Twelve people were killed and 20 others were wounded, according to the Israeli military. Local residents informed Israeli media that an 11-year-old child was missing. The Israeli military spokesperson confirmed the attack, stating that a Falagh-1 missile, manufactured by Iran and equipped with a 53-kilogram explosive warhead, was fired at the location. While Hezbollah...

Cosmos Magazine reports that 42,000-year-old evidence of human occupation has been identified at the site of Elivavan in southeast Indonesia's Tanimbar Islands. "Along with tiny fragments of pottery we also found evidence of things like bones, shells, and sea urchins that point to the island's role as a hub for early maritime activities," said Hendri Kaharudin of Australian National University. Kaharudin and his colleagues suggest the site is situated along a possible southern route traveled by prehistoric migrants to the region of the paleocontinent known as Sahul, which includes what are now Papua New Guinea and Australia. "This island-hopping strategy...

Despite claiming he is against illegal immigrants voting in our elections, Democratic candidate for the US Senate from Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego voted against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. He called the SAVE Act "too heavy handed in its approach. It would require voters to verify their citizenship in order to be given a ballot. My alternative Voting Clarity Act is a friendlier option." Gallego said "my Voting Clarity Act would require that immigrants applying for asylum be reminded that they cannot vote unless they are citizens. Those applying for asylum are expressing an intent to remain in...

In the nearly 10 months since Hamas attacked Israel, killing over 1,200 and kidnapping over 200, we’ve seen sharp lines between those who support Israel and those who back Hamas. Protesters have engaged in violence and vandalism to push for a free Palestine, even though Palestine isn’t a real nation. We hear concern for the plight of the innocent citizens of Gaza (and rightly so), while those expressing outrage often ignore that Hamas repeatedly puts civilians in harm’s way. Is all of this conflict in service of a political entity or a terrorist organization? Hamas tries to position itself as...

At the beginning of Joe Biden’s term, former Treasury secretary Lawrence Summers correctly predicted that inflation would worsen if Democrats got their way with massive spending. But now, Summers is no different than Paul Krugman or Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics, as he’s “predicting” a disaster and massive debt and deficits if Republicans are elected and their policies are implemented. From Bloomberg News comes this report:Summers Says GOP Fiscal Plans Set US Up for ‘Liz Truss Moment’Republican politicians are setting the US up for a ‘Liz Truss moment’ by promoting policies that would widen fiscal deficits and weaken the dollar,...

Teams of researchers have discovered a lost crusader altar in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, supposedly built on the site of Jesus's crucifixion in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.In a rear corridor of the church a stone slab daubed in graffiti weighing several tons had been leaning against a wall for an unknown period of time.However, after it was turned around, it was found to be decorated beautiful ribbon ornaments which enabled its identification as the former front panel of the medieval Crusader altar, consecrated in 1149 and which seemed to have been lost after...

Newsweek reports that researchers led by Rebecca Flemming of the University of Exeter have examined Roman medical instruments with computerized tomography scans taken in the University of Exeter's Science, Heritage and Archaeology Digital 3D (SHArD 3D) Laboratory. The six implements were discovered some 125 years ago along a subterranean river in London that was once above ground in the Roman settlement of Londinium. The objects include a scalpel, likely used in operations and procedures such as bloodletting; probes that may have been used to examine wounds and fractures or to clean the wax out of ears; a spoon that was...

Vice President Kamala Harris championed the administration’s so-called “Bidenomics” as costs dramatically soared for American families. Costs increased on average across the board by about 20 percent under the Biden-Harris administration. Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle, for example, raised prices by at least 75 percent, according to the Food Institute. At least five times Harris praised the policies that fueled the rising costs: July 24, 2023: “Bidenomics is working” August 3, 2023: “Bidenomics is working” August 4, 2023: “Bidenomics is working” August 8, 2023: “Bidenomics is working” August 15, 2023: “Bidenomics is working” Harris will have a difficult time convincing...

COMMENTARY: With only four months until the election, the Catholic GOP VP nominee must begin to right the ship immediately to avoid joining the list of historically ignominious picks that includes former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former Vice President Dan Quayle.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declared that the only candidate to deliver a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens is Kamala Harris, promising the left she will "get it done" if elected.
