Migrant families and immigration advocacy groups are preparing for millions of families to potentially be separated from each other during the mass deportations planned by President-elect Donald Trump. In states like Arizona, Colorado and Pennsylvania, mixed-status families, asylum-seekers and advocates say they are planning for scenarios where children could be separated from their parents. In Pennsylvania, Lillie, a U.S. citizen who did not want to use her last name out of concern for her family’s safety, has been married to her undocumented husband from Honduras for 10 years. Last week, she took her U.S.-born children to get their passports and...

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham had a stern warning for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and anyone else willing to help a “rogue” International Criminal Court (ICC) as a nation enforce an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The South Carolina Republican threatened sanctions that would impact economies in those countries.

In an bizarre twist, a Stanford University expert who studies misinformation appears to have created some of his own — while under oath.

Pope Francis has called for an investigation to determine if Israel’s operation in Gaza constitutes genocide, according to a new book published for the Catholic Church’s jubilee year. “According to some experts, what is happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a genocide,” the pope said in excerpts published Sunday by the Italian daily La Stampa. What makes the inflammatory statements in the pope’s book especially disturbing is that they follow on remarks by the pope that appear to demonize Jews even more broadly and which are contrary to teachings of the Church. Pope Francis’ prior Letter to Catholics of...

Moscow’s ambassador to Britain asserted that the United Kingdom is now “directly involved” in the war in Ukraine after Kyiv used British-made Storm Shadow long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia. In the wake of outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden’s reported decision to allow Ukraine to use American long-range ballistic missiles to attack the Russian interior, London was seemingly quick to follow suit, with reports this week that Kyiv used UK-made Storm Shadows to hit targets in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukrainian forces waged a surprise counter-invasion over the summer.

The skies are darkening over Europe’s economy and politics, all thanks to their determination to wage war against Russia. The euro is plummeting to its lowest level in two years. Will the Euro stop at 85 cents in the year ahead? European leaders know that the Eurozone is crumbling, and instead of reform, they have chosen war and to use that as the excuse for the collapse of the Euro in the years ahead. In Putin’s address to the Russian people, he stated that “Russian military facilities in the Bryansk and Kursk regions were attacked by Western missiles.” According to...

Teachers at a Berlin school have issued an urgent plea for help, citing escalating violence, severe educational deficits among students — largely attributed to challenges from mass immigration — and a lack of systemic support... Teachers at the Friedrich Bergius School in Berlin’s Schöneberg district have issued a stark warning about escalating issues they say are exacerbated by the city’s approach to mass immigration and integration. In a seven-page letter to the district council, the staff described an environment of increasing aggression, violence, and educational struggles that has left them overwhelmed and desperate for support. The letter highlights a central...

“Shame” shouted some climate campaigners, “pay up!” shouted others. The object of their venom was John Podesta, who is the US climate envoy, and was being escorted from a meeting room in chaotic scenes here in Baku. COP29 has taken a dramatic turn here this afternoon, with walkouts from developing countries from meetings with the Azerbaijani presidency over climate finance. There was palpable anger among the least developed countries and island states that they were being messed around by richer nations. They say that the financial offer being negotiated is insulting, they feel excluded and ignored. In this atmosphere, campaigners...

Our grandson Connor made a very interesting comment when he was a little boy. His parents (our daughter and son-in-law) were praying for him when he was fighting some minor illness, asking God to heal him. When nothing happened, he said, “Jesus doesn’t have enough hands to heal everyone.” That was his childlike way of explaining why he wasn’t healed. Jesus only had so many hands with which He could touch the sick. He couldn’t get to everyone. As much as we can smile at his childlike and innocent faith, we too can limit God in our thinking. After all,...

The Army-Health of the Troops-Promotions. MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION. Saturday, Nov. 19, 1864. The month of November thus far, as to the atmospherical changes, has apparently entered the lists as a rival of the fickle month of April; for we have had alternate days of rain and sunshine, sandwiched with cold cycles, which would put the philosophy of "E.M." to a severe test, were he now recording the changes on this mundane sphere. Yesterday water fell in torrents from the clouds all day long. This morning the sun rose in regal splendor, causing people to forget the gloom of yesterday, and...

democrats seem not to know it, but Donald Trump won the election. He promised mass deportations and the country elected him. The message hasn't gotten through to a lot of democrats. Over a hundred and fifty years ago the US took away slaves from democrats and they haven't been the same since. Aided by Biden, democrats are once again creating a slave class of people - illegal aliens. This includes murderers, rapists and criminal gangs. A cabal of democrats is plotting to obstruct Trump's effort to remove much of the illegal alien hoard. Nov 13 (Reuters) – The governors of...

Residents are worried and remain on high alert after a group of suspected burglary tourists targeted homes in the Santa Clarita Valley. In the last week alone, at least three homes inside a gated community in Valencia were burglarized. Neighbors believe their community is being targeted by a South American crime ring and the suspects may even be tracking their every move with drone surveillance.

Musk may be joking. Then again he may not.

The Washington Post, citing Trump Transition sources, reported that Trump will fire Jack Smith’s team of activist lawyers and use the DOJ to assemble a team to investigate the stolen 2020 election.

Many news outlets have published Robert F. Kennedy Jr. profiles in the past 18 months, but The Washington Post’s in June was the only one to warrant a 20-page response from the Trump HHS nominee (This story is the first in a four-part series this month by Just the News on self-described watchdogs who push for censorship.) “If we don’t have free speech, then we just don’t have a free country,” President-elect Donald Trump said in a video posted to social media just day after winning reelection on Nov. 5. “Today, I’m announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship...

VIDEOFor years now, MSNBC Legal Analyst Glenn Kirschner's entire shtick has been that the walls are finally closing in on Donald Trump due to a myriad of Lawfare cases against him inspired by a politically weaponized DOJ. First poor Glenn placed his hopes on Jack Smith, then Fani Willis, and finally on Corrupt Judge Juan Merchan in a case so absurd that it took a Federal case outside of the statute of Limitations and brought to the local level by a former DOJ employee. Kirschner was sure that this was the case that would finally FINALLY close the walls on...

In a new study, researchers have identified a potential treatment for Sandhoff and Tay-Sachs diseases—two rare, often fatal lysosomal storage disorders that cause progressive damage to nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. After years of investigating the diseases' underlying mechanisms, the research team has identified an existing FDA-approved drug that could significantly improve quality of life for affected patients and their families. "Sandhoff and Tay-Sachs are devastating diseases," says Suleiman Igdoura, a professor of biology and pathology who has been researching these conditions for years. "They're marked by progressive loss of motor functions—from sitting, standing, and swallowing to...

When the Democratic convention took place in August, with new nominee Kamala Harris rising in the polls, Democrats were giddy with a sense of impending victory. In Chicago for the convention, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer of New York visited with party officials and reporters to outline his plans for a glorious new age in Washington with Democrats in control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. Schumer’s top priority in the new Harris administration would have been to eliminate the legislative filibuster that has long protected minority rights in the Senate. That way, even if the Senate...
