CNN was just handed a slew of legal defeats in the $1 billion defamation case against them. On Monday, Judge William Scott Henry of Florida’s 14th Circuit Court sided with Plaintiff and Navy veteran Zachary Young on multiple motions against CNN, including compelling them to turn over their journalistic conduct guidelines, compelling them to comply with turning over documents necessary for financial discovery, and - much to the chagrin of CNN’s counsel - a deposition of anchor Jake Tapper. (snip) Judge Henry came down hard on CNN’s effort to keep Tapper from being deposed. When issuing his ruling, the Judge...

Whether it could prove a tactical masterstroke MailOnline examines the invasion so far and assesses what may come next On Tuesday, August 6, around 1,000 brave Ukrainian soldiers supported by a few tanks launched what seemed like a reckless at best - and catastrophic at worst - incursion into Russia's Kursk region. Within 48 hours of the first reports of the border breach, Russia's stonefaced army chief Valery Gerasimov - who reportedly dismissed intelligence reports indicating a Ukrainian troop buildup along the border two weeks prior - declared the invasion had been stopped in its tracks. Now, one week later,...

KYIV, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine said on Tuesday its biggest cross-border assault of the war to date had taken control of 74 settlements in Russia's region of Kursk and was still advancing, making gains of one to three kilometres in the last 24 hours. Ukraine blindsided Moscow by pouring thousands of troops into the western Russian region of Kursk last week in a surprise operation that has given Ukraine its biggest battlefield gains since 2022 after months on the backfoot.

Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that former President Donald Trump is attempting to “denigrate and objectify the vice president” when he said Kamala Harris looks like his wife, Melania, during an interview with Elon Musk on X Monday night. Mitchell said, “In his conversation with Elon Musk last night, Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Kamala Harris’ policies. He seemed focus on praising her appearance, even comparing a new cover illustration of his Democratic opponent to his own wife, Melania.” On X, Trump said, “She looked very much like our great first lady, Melania....

Have you ever seen those montages of local television news stations that repeat nearly identical talking points on each one? It’s almost like they’re all taking orders from some hidden higher authority and their words are being beamed down to them from a starship and they’re just robots—mouths being used to broadcast a message from the secret overlords. It’s almost surreal. If you haven’t seen them, you should look them up. Well, there has been much speculation over the years that black pastors have been bought and sold by the Democrat Party, but there has never been any more demonstrable...

He shut down a lot of the mom-and-pop shops, those folks that were just trying to make a living and provide a great product and a great service," Hanson told Fox News Digital. "In contrast, he allowed big box stores, etc. to stay open. Really incredible, an incredible use of tyranny against the people." Hanson eventually decided to re-open her business and defied Walz's renewed shutdown order for bars and restaurants six times between December 2020 and January 2021. She was convicted in December 2021 on misdemeanor charges and received the maximum sentence of 90 days and a $1,000 fine....

Did you know that there’s actually a “Christians for Kamala” conference? Yes, you read that right. In the ever-bizarre world of progressive Christianity, this event is being billed as a gathering of believers united in support of Kamala Harris. I couldn’t believe it either when I first heard about it. I mean, Christians, really? Casting their votes to expand abortion, hand kids over to drag queens, and mutilate them without telling their parents? Like, what biblical principle is that? Oh, wait. These aren’t Christians. I should have known better. Silly me. Organized by the notorious John Pavlovitz—who, by the way,...

A Colorado couple has sued a school and state officials after a counselor helped their 14-year-old daughter become a boy in class while keeping them in the dark. The parents, who are called John and Jane Doe in court papers, say Brighton High School, in the Denver suburbs, helped the anxious and depressed teen transition without notifying them. A counselor even connected the girl to a therapist, who was themselves trans, and suggested the girl take cross-sex hormones and have her breasts surgically removed.

It was revealed this week that Federal Air Marshals have been assigned to tail former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hi) whenever she flies on commercial airlines in the United States because she has been put on the suspected terrorist watchlist. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn) wondered "why is this well-regarded former member of Congress, former Democratic candidate for president, and US Army veteran considered a potential national security threat?" Gabbard speculated that "my recent criticism of Vice-President Harris' lack of fitness to hold the office of president seems to have inspired the Department of Homeland Security to classify me as a security...

Hurricane Debby left billions of dollars of damage in its wake as it moved across the southeastern U.S. last week — losses made all the more devastating because so many of them may have been uninsured. More than three-quarters of the houses damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Debby were in regions where flood insurance isn’t required, a new report from nonprofit First Street Foundation has found. That’s because nearly $10 billion of the slow-moving storm’s estimated $12.3 billion in damage happened in regions outside the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) designated Flood Zones. FEMA’s flood maps dictate where homeowners are...
