JD Vance tore into ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz for “nitpicking” Donald Trump's comments on the presence of Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” in Colorado. Last week, the former president travelled to a gang-ravaged Denver suburb and promised to “rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered.” The Republican vice presidential candidate slammed the 71-year-old for saying that only a “handful of apartment complexes” were impacted by the dangerous crime syndicate. During his Sunday appearance on ABC's This Week, Vance grilled Raddatz after she tried to fact-check Trump's claims that the Venezuelan gang had “overrun” the city....

A new cancer treatment protocol involving repurposed drugs Ivermectin (commonly known as a ‘horse dewormer’), Fenbendazole (a ‘dog dewormer’), and Mebendazole has recently passed peer review and is being heralded as a potential breakthrough in cancer therapy.

Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson nominated seven appointees to the city’s board of education early last week after the previous board collectively resigned in early October. The move stunned the city and the rest of the nation. The drama is the latest sad episode of Chicago’s downward spiral, thanks to its Democrat mayor and the teachers union.The direct cause of the previous school board resignation was sparked by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) contract negotiation. With more than 30,000 members, the CTU is one of the nation’s most powerful teachers unions. The CTU’s current demands included “a 9% annual raise,...

Worse, it includes a copy and paste from Wikipedia.

With the end of the Biden Administration in sight, liberal pundits seem to be striving to prove that the only difference between a lawbreaker and a law-abiding citizen is the ability to get away with the crime. Popular figures on the left from Michael Moore to Keith Olbermann are calling on President Joe Biden to commit overtly unlawful acts in his final 100 days in office, including targeting his political opponents. In one of the few statements of Moore with which I agree, he stated that this is “no joke.” It certainly is not. It is the same logic used...

It’s time to take a hard, objective look at where we stand in this election with about three weeks to go. Some of us are worried, very worried, and that’s not surprising. The regime media is helping the Democrats wage a psychological war to convince us that the vibe and the joy and the brat are overwhelming Trump and that we’re going to lose, and that you might as well sit out the election in your double-wide drinking non-bespoke beers straight from the can instead of voting. Don’t listen to them. That’s not how this is working out. Look, I...

At least eight people have died after a missile struck a church in Lebanon. Local Christian sources told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that the church had been sheltering people displaced by Israeli airstrikes at the time of the strike. The airstrikes caused the collapse of the church and two adjoining halls that were being used to house refugees. A priest's house and a three-story building housing parish offices were also destroyed in the attack, which is located in the Melkite Greek Catholic Eparchy of Tyre. Christians in Lebanon have been sheltering refugees since Israel began its offensive...

Switzerland faced Serbia yesterday in Leskoc within the League of Nations. Serbia managed to score a 2:0 victory, achieving the first triumph in this edition of this competition. The president of Serbia, Aleksander Vu?i?, and the president of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, were also seen in the 8,000-seat stadium. At one point, the Serbian president celebrates the victory with a completely anti-Western and provocative gesture. Vucic took out of his pocket and unfurled the united flags of Serbia and Russia. This action of Vucic is not a coincidence, as Albanians from Kosovo also play for Switzerland.

Material labeled as being from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has allegedly been found among weapons stockpiled by Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists at positions along Lebanon’s border with Israel. Israel has been attacking, exposing, and destroying Hezbollah positions along the border, including weapons caches. These were used to attack Israeli communities, and to prepare for an October 7-style invasion of northern Israel. A video published by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers shows a group of infantrymen surrounding a stockpile of weapons. As the camera pans to the right, a box labeled “USAID” appears among a set of anti-tank missiles.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Travelers between East Tennessee and western North Carolina will continue to take alternate routes in the aftermath of Helene.

Crews will drill soil nails in order to stabilize the westbound...

Pennsylvania has emerged as the most crucial battleground state in one of the wildest presidential races in memory — with both campaigns battling for every last vote in the state that former President Donald Trump won eight years ago by just 44,000 votes. Trump, who lost Pennsylvania in 2020, and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, are both crisscrossing the commonwealth in hopes of eking out a win in the potentially decisive state. Pennsylvania is unique in many ways — it’s closely divided, and it’s geographically diverse. It is also changing, according to an Inquirer analysis of election data...

Explanation: Go outside at sunset tonight and see a comet! C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) has become visible in the early evening sky in northern locations to the unaided eye.

Pictured, Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was captured two nights ago over the Lincoln Memorial monument in Washington, DC, USA. With each passing day at sunset, the comet and its...

DENVER, CO — A local 10-year-old is being taken to court for illegal discrimination after a gay couple claimed he refused to bake them a gay wedding cake. The couple says they still haven't recovered from the ugly hate incident. "This proves that the LGBTQ+ community still faces horrific discrimination in this country," said Chez Fetley, the man who was denied service by 10-year-old Florian Simpson. "I asked the boy to bake me a beautiful gay wedding cake with rainbows and dildos all over it, and he looked me right in the eye and said: 'I'm sorry mister, I only...
