A Venezuelan migrant, charged with murdering another migrant, is hospitalized after being shot by yet another migrant who was angered by the killing, officials say. Both shootings occurred inside the same Washington Park apartment building where a 911 call reporting that armed migrants had taken over the complex was declared unfounded and decried as racism by mainstream news outlet “experts” in September. Carlos Reinaldo Maribal-Carvajal, 24, robbed and murdered Peter Sangronis-Medina inside the building in the 6100 block of South Martin Luther King on November 11 and then hid the body in a trash bin, prosecutors said this weekend. .Both...

If I wasted people's money like this, I'd be executed. Greg Price @greg_price11 · Follow The Biden admin has spent $3 billion on electric mail trucks. Only 93 have been built. They also spent $7.5B on electric vehicle charging stations. Only 7 have been built. We've covered both of these stories before. In 2021, we covered Biden's plan to roll out these weird new trucks in an effort to save the planet or something. The USPS is rolling out their next gen of delivery trucks and I have questions. If you were in charge of a delivery outfit that had...

Credit: Trustees of the Natural History Museum A study suggests that by the time H. sapiens expanded, the differentiation between the two species had progressed to the extent that they were distinct and recognizable as separate species. A recent study conducted by researchers from London’s Natural History Museum and the Institute of Philosophy at KU Leuven has strengthened the argument that Neanderthals and modern humans (Homo sapiens) should be classified as distinct species to more accurately trace our evolutionary history. Different...

“Plant-based diets are in a tough moment,” says Dr Marco Springmann. “Ten years ago there was a lot of excitement about them. But I think during the cost of living crisis many of the start-up companies struggled, because of their high prices. “Recently it has been framed as a culture issue, associated with wokeness, which is a shame,” he adds. “I try to believe that we are all concerned about preserving our environment and reducing diet-related diseases and stuff. I would hope that people don’t perceive it as a cultural issue. But it is having a tough moment.” As senior...

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos are scheduled to meet Tuesday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, the tête-à-tête another in the vast parade of business leaders who have already made the same journey since the election. Reuters notes Sarandos has traditionally backed Democratic Party candidates, making donations to support outgoing President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to researcher OpenSecrets.

A man who was filmed by CNN being released by rebels from a Damascus jail was a former intelligence officer with the deposed Syrian regime, according to local residents, and not an ordinary citizen who had been imprisoned, as he had claimed. CNN initially found the man while pursuing leads on the missing US journalist Austin Tice. In a video report, chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward and her team, accompanied by a rebel guard, came across a cell in a Damascus jail that was padlocked from the outside. The guard blew off the lock with a gun, and the man...

A thing spins out of control, but look who’s riding it. I’m repeating myself a bit to get started, but I’ve been stuck for days on House Democrat Betty McCollum, whose words have dug into me like a tick: A seventy year-old woman, who is both a longtime state and federal politician and a former high school social studies teacher, has asserted with confidence, in congressional debate, that warriors can’t make it home safely from the battlefield if their children can’t get publicly funded drugs and surgery to live as trans teens. When Congress funds pediatric castration and colon vaginoplasty...

Following the shooting on Monday at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin, Joe Biden is issuing a renewed call for greater gun control.

“God highly exalted Him” (Philippians 2:9). The Father exalted the Son as the God-man. A question that often springs to mind regarding the exaltation of Christ is how Jesus could be exalted since He is already God. We find the answer in Jesus’ High-Priestly prayer in John 17, where He asked the Father to restore to Him the glory He had with the Father before the world began (v. 5). Christ’s request shows that He gave up something that God would give back to Him. Christ gave up His glory in the Incarnation. Beyond glorification, in His exaltation Christ would...

Around 11:30 a.m. local time, a man dressed in all black exited a vehicle and started firing a rifle outside First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a Texas community of a few hundred people about 30 miles east of San Antonio, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. The gunman then entered the church, where services were underway, and continued to fire, officials said. Eventually, as the gunman was leaving the church, a local resident who was armed with a rifle confronted the shooter, said Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber Reuters, the news agency that brings Americans so much of their news coverage about war, has a Palantir-like side business that receives $145 million in Pentagon contracts. At what point do we call Reuters a military contractor?

Fines and reparations? In a more just world, those would be levied against the governments that try to punish the very entities that have done us the most good. The Washington Free Beacon recently reported that the Biden administration’s stunningly unjust Department of Justice “quietly weighed in on litigation pending before the Supreme Court this week, siding with liberal cities and states that are seeking to force the nation's largest oil companies to pay billions of dollars in damages for global warming.” Biden’s Solicitor General, Elizabeth Prelogar, is pushing the Supreme Court to give its imprimatur to the notion that...

It’s bad enough that students are monitored for every computer keystroke or Internet pages that they view, but the height of stupidity is to turn AI loose to access their mental health and then send the police after them. One police chief told NYT, “There are a lot of false alerts, but if we can save one kid, it’s worth a lot of false alerts.” This Technocrat mindset with students is guaranteed to find its way into the adult population. Big Brother is watching you.

New York judge Juan Merchan, who just denied another motion against President-elect Trump may be an extreme political ideologue, but like all judges, he works for a government institution. He takes orders and follows directions. Former federal appellate judge Richard Posner, appointed by Ronald Reagan, wrote a book called “How Judges Think”. Unfortunately, it should have been called “How Judges Behave”, because the job of judging really doesn’t rest on thinking; it rests on issuing a ruling, and more times than not, these rulings are wrong in law, and are also not subject to written explanations. They’re often just fiat....

In his annual health-of-the-nation report England’s chief medical officer Chris Whitty appears to be in favor of the “15-minute city” urban planning concept that, in recent years, has attracted the ire of conspiracy theorists, motoring die-hards and many right-of-center politicians. “Cities should be ideal places for enabling active travel with shorter distances to the things we need or want on a regular basis, including supermarkets, places of leisure, work or healthcare,” Professor Whitty’s report says

At a time of heightened political division, Americans’ confidence in their country’s judicial system and courts dropped to a record low of 35% this year, according to a new Gallup poll. The United States saw a sharp drop of 24 percentage points over the last four years, setting the country apart from other wealthy nations where most people on average still express trust in their systems. The results come after a tumultuous period that included the overturning of the nationwide right to abortion, the indictment of former President Donald Trump and the subsequent withdrawal of federal charges, and his attacks...
