Last Monday, July 22nd at Richmond City Hall, the full City Council voted unanimously to sell a neglected school building on the edge of the city for $10 to the national abortion promoter and business Planned Parenthood. The meeting was marked by sixty citizens who came to oppose the proposal and offered testimony, followed by the rapid vote that took less than 15 seconds! The entire proposal seems to have been a done deal well before the planning commission meeting last week or the final full council vote this week. Last year, the Richmond City Council voted on a resolution...

An expert team of maritime archeologists and scientists uses state-of-the-art technology to search for ancient shipwrecks and evidence of prehistoric human activity in the deep Black sea. Equipped with advanced sonar, laser technology, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the team investigates the Black Sea, reaching depths up to 2,000 meters. The Black Sea, once a prehistoric lake, is believed to hold shipwrecks and artifacts from ancient civilizations, including the Greek and Ottoman Empires. The unique anoxic conditions below 150 meters preserve these underwater treasures, offering unique insights into human history and early seafaring.The Hunt For Ancient Shipwrecks In The Mysterious...

When Kamala Harris ran for president in 2019, criminal justice reform leaders closely scrutinized her career as a prosecutor, with some advocates branding her a “top cop” who lacked a strong progressive record. Five years later, with the vice-president on track to become the Democratic nominee, the dynamics have fundamentally shifted. Harris’ prosecutorial history, once something of a liability among some Democrats, is now seen as a key asset as she prepares to take on Donald Trump, the ex-president convicted of 34 felonies. ... “It’s complicated,” said Tinisch Hollins, executive director of Californians for Safety and Justice, a criminal justice...

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joined a “White Dudes for Harris” fundraising call in an effort to raise money for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, during which the subject of abortion was unsurprisingly mentioned. But what was perhaps less expected were some of the remarks made by Buttigieg. During the call, which – according to the New York Times – was attended by over 20,000 men, Buttigieg promoted the frequently echoed ‘abortion-as-freedom’ message. “I’m so glad that she has made freedom the theme of her campaign because in so many ways, that’s what is at stake,” Buttigieg began....

There's nothing better than experiencing music live. In fact, some of the best versions of classic songs are live versions.

Show me how this family tree gets her to black.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed the Republican Party “long ago sacrificed their claim to be the party of family.” Buttigieg said, “It kind of classic projection, right? The very things he’s talking about, virtue, strength, security, family, those are all things that Trump’s Republican Party has completely abandoned, making any claim to. Virtue, really? In a party led by Donald Trump with the affairs and the porn stars and everything else that is associated with that guy. Security? When we’re talking about a party led by somebody who has been rolled repeatedly...

Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he believed former President Donald Trump had displayed “constant overt racism” throughout his life. Referencing Kamala Harris, Moore said, “It has been a long time coming and it has been a long time coming frankly for Donald Trump because now he’s going to not only meet his match, he’s going to have to face this whole thing that I watched today. Saying he didn’t know if she was black.”

Iran’s so-called “Supreme Leader” has called for a direct attack on Israel in response to an Israeli airstrike on Tehran, Iran’s capital city, that killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday. The New York Times reported: Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued an order for Iran to strike Israel directly, in retaliation for the killing in Tehran of Hamas’s leader, Ismail Haniyeh, according to three Iranian officials briefed on the order.

During one prime-time broadcast of the Olympics gymnastics competition this week on NBC, Simone Biles finished a vault and the camera panned around Bercy Arena in Paris to find reactions. Biles’s parents politely clapped. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo cheered with a bit more gusto. Then the camera found Snoop Dogg, who lifted his glasses up toward his forehead, to reveal eyes wide in astonishment. “Snoop can’t believe what he saw!” said NBC’s Terry Gannon. There has been no better hype man for U.S. Olympians this week than Snoop, who has been everywhere in Paris for NBC — and, as...

CHICAGO (AP) — Donald Trump falsely suggested Kamala Harris had misled voters about her race as the former president appeared before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago Wednesday in an interview that quickly turned hostile. The Republican former president wrongly claimed that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, had in the past only promoted her Indian heritage. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian...

As back-to-school season nears, students and faculty are preparing to return to campus — and to protests. Pro-Palestinian protesters who wreaked havoc on Columbia University’s campus in the spring have already declared they “will be back.” The fall semester begins Sept. 3. So what is Columbia doing about it? The big picture is unclear. But their initial strategy seems pretty thin. In a July 24 email to students, faculty, and staff, university president Minouche Shafik said her team is “working hard” on fostering community, clarifying rules and defining discrimination in anticipation of the fall semester. “We truly flourish when we...

[Catholic Caucus] What Pope Francis Misses About the Nature of FaithThe teaching of Pope Francis on the nature of faith emphasizes one aspect to the detriment of another.The Apostle Paul calls us to believe with one’s heart and to confess what one believes (Romans 10:9). This is a twofold Christian imperative—the creedal and confessional imperative—that is at the root of creeds and confessions of faith. Faith involves both the fides qua creditur (“the faith with which one believes”) and the fides quae creditur “the faith which one believes”).1 What is the nature of faith, according to Pope Francis?2 If I...

Starting this Thursday, delegates in the Democratic Party will hold a virtual vote to select their new nominee. Vice President Kamala Harris will be running unopposed, since no other candidate met the requirements to qualify. Here's more on what it means and how the vote will work:

ABC News staffers are bracing for major cuts as the Disney-owned network slashes budgets — with even those at top-rated “Good Morning America” on the chopping block, The Post has learned. The Mouse House has demanded that “GMA” reduce its bottom line by a whopping $19 million, up from previous projections of $17 million, before the end of Disney’s fiscal year on Sept. 30, an insider with knowledge told The Post. The expected layoffs come as Disney began bringing down the ax at its TV group on Wednesday, slashing 140 jobs at its networks that include NatGeo and Freeform, Bloomberg...
