JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Councilman Kenneth Stokes was joined by many in the community for a protest on Sunday against the Texaco gas station on Medgar Evers Boulevard after the recent homicides and crime in the area. He says he will be bringing up a vote of no confidence against the city’s legal department and director for not declaring the gas station a nuisance and shutting it down before now. “Where people suffer harm or injury, it’s got to be considered a nuisance. How many people have to die here before they realize it’s harmful?” Councilman Stokes said. The...

A radical Islamist cleric in Britain has reportedly called upon his followers to raise money to purchase an island in Scotland to establish a de facto Islamic State within the borders of the United Kingdom. According to a report from the Mail on Sunday, Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, a Kuwaiti Shia cleric, is seeking to raise £3.5 million to purchase the private island of Torsa (Thor’s Island) in the Inner Herbides area of Scotland as a destination for Shias from all over the globe to migrate. Al-Habib has allegedly said that the purpose of the purchase would be to establish a...

Former President Donald Trump announced his intention to eliminate taxes on Social Security checks if he regains the White House. This announcement comes as part of a larger strategy outlined by the Republican National Committee (RNC) in their 2024 GOP Platform released earlier this month, titled “Make America Great Again!” This comprehensive platform is inspired by the enduring vision of former President Donald Trump. “The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee adopted President Donald J. Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform with overwhelming support– a pro-American agenda that stands in stark contrast to the record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty created...

Is there anything worse than white people? You likely wouldn’t be surprised to hear that at a dinner party thrown by leftists, especially now that they’ve ditched their rich old white guy for a rich younger woman of mixed ethnicity. Before last week, Democrats had to pretend to like white people, now they don’t. They’re still owned by rich, mostly white people, but none of them openly talk about their elite overlords, they just pretend that not being white or being a woman is “diverse,” even though being diverse requires multiple people, making it impossible for an individual to be...

We are, of course, disappointed with today's decision - but not entirely surprised given the narrow parameters we were fighting within. (click above for Dr Naomi Wolf's witness statement - delivered outside the court as she was not allowed to deliver it orally in court. Plus, my statement and Mark's - which were given in support of specific grounds in the case.) This started as a battle between GB News and Ofcom. GB News sacrificed Mark whilst he was recovering from two heart attacks in an attempt to appease Ofcom. As noted in the court's decision, Ofcom was able to...

A new study suggests it doesn't take long for a diet free of animal products to slow biological aging rates, with the heart, liver, and hormonal and inflammatory systems all benefitting from the temporary change. Led by a team from the Stanford University School of Medicine, the study analyzed the rate of DNA methylation; a kind of reversible genetic modification which is often used as an indicator of how quickly the body is wearing out. Among a group of 21 pairs of identical twins, one of each pair adhered to a vegan diet over the course of eight weeks, while...

The FBI has released internal records on Moms for Liberty, the non-profit activist group that opposes the public-school system’s attempts to indoctrinate students to favor genital mutilations, mask mandates, racial profiling and other un-American ideals. However, the internal records are unrelated to the Justice Department’s targeting of Moms for Liberty and other protesting parents—a scandal from October 2021, when Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo directing the FBI to divert counterterrorism resources towards tracking alleged threats at school board meetings. Instead, the records detail threats Moms for Liberty members apparently received in 2022. A December 2022 FBI memo details...

New Delhi: The deep fissures in Israeli society came out in the open this week when a mob of lawmakers and far right groups stormed an Israeli base where soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian prisoner are being held pending their trial. Some Israelis have called it one of their most distressing days, while right-wing Israeli lawmakers, including those from the ruling Likud, have justified the rape of Hamas prisoners, claiming it is legitimate due to the atrocities committed during the October 7 attacks, which Israel says resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths: “A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson launched a brutal attack on the U.S. government during his speech at a recent Bitcoin conference, accusing it of hypocrisy and secrecy. Carlson highlighted the government’s stance on privacy and document classification before dropping the F-bomb over his views. “With no privacy, there’s no freedom,” Carlson stated.

Nearly half of the nation's National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers required universal masking in key clinical areas during the winter 2023–2024 COVID-19 surge, according to a study by Tulane University researchers. Overall, 41.8% of these 67 centers required some universal masking, according to the study, which was published in JAMA Network Open. Further, 12 NCI-designated centers (18%) required universal masking in all areas. Masking policies were even more common in northeastern states and in centers with longer NCI designation, more funding and higher care rankings. Those with cancer face higher risks from COVID-19 infections, long COVID, infection-related delay of...

FOX News host Jesse Watters covered RealClearPolitics's Susan Crabtree's reporting that a Secret Service counter-sniper wants to blow the whistle on the agency's failures on the day former President Donald Trump was a victim of an assassination attempt. JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: A Secret Service counter-sniper is predicting another assassination attempt before November. In an email obtained by RealClearPolitics, a Secret Service agent with 20 years' experience on the counter-sniper team is announcing he's going to blow the whistle until all of his supervisors are fired. The counter-sniper says his mission is to prevent another JFK-style assassination, and the only...

Topline Print sales of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s 2016 book “Hillbilly Elegy” soared 13,000% in the week he was announced as Donald Trump’s running mate, according to data from Circana, an increase that drove Publisher Harper Collins to order a new print run for the memoir to meet demand.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) appeared to challenge Sen. JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) shooting skills, saying that the vice presidential hopeful cannot hunt pheasants like he can. “That’s what JD Vance’s stick is, talking about guns. I guarantee you he can’t shoot pheasants like I can,” Walz said Tuesday on “Anderson Cooper 360°.” “And that’s a part of saying, but you know what, I guarantee I don’t want weapons of war in classrooms. And there’s no reason that you can’t have reasonable restrictions around that without infringing on your Second Amendment,” he added. Vance has heavily leaned into his personal story...

Operation Warp Speed enacted under former President Donald Trump provided the pharmaceutical community with free reign to create a vaccination for immediate use. COVID-19 was perceived to be such a threat that standard operations for testing and researching a vaccine were no longer applicable. The need for a vaccine was so urgent that pharmaceutical companies were granted total immunity from prosecution, which came in handy after countless debilitating ailments and deaths were later attributed to those vaccinations that offer neither protection from transmission or infection. In line with our disease cycle that heats up in 2026, the medical community is...

María Corina Machado says president should understand he lost vote, amid international doubts over victory claim The opposition leader battling to bring the curtain down on Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian regime has urged the Venezuelan strongman to accept that his exit from power is inevitable. The call came as thousands of protesters hit the streets to repudiate Maduro’s disputed claim to have won a third term in power. Venezuela’s incumbent president was officially proclaimed the victor of Sunday’s election by the government-controlled electoral authority on Monday morning. Maduro called his supposed victory “irreversible” despite widespread international doubts over the veracity of...

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov today strongly condemned the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian group Hamas, in a drone strike on his residence in Tehran, saying it undermines prospects of ending the conflict in Gaza. At a press briefing in Moscow, Peskov stated that the attack was detrimental to peace efforts in the region and risked destabilising the situation. “We strongly condemn this attack, which resulted in Mr. Haniyeh’s death. Such actions undermine attempts to establish peace in the region and could significantly destabilise an already tense situation,” he emphasised. In a separate...
