The Washington Post made a pathetic attempt to paint website traffic cop NewsGuard as some kind of victim of right-wing oppression, all while downplaying the years-long dystopian vendetta it waged against right-leaning media. “This company rates news sites’ credibility. The right wants it stopped,” cried The Post in a 2,282-word salad for Christmas Eve. “NewsGuard, which prizes its nonpartisan criteria, has become a prime target of the GOP’s battle against disinformation watchdogs,” (emphasis added). Yes, despite the results of a congressional investigation and significant evidence to the contrary, The Post actually had the gall to characterize the disgraceful Orwellian operation...

FIRST ON FOX: Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday demanding answers regarding the top federal law enforcement agency’s "radical" DEI practices following the shocking New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans. "While the facts surrounding this unconscionable attack continue to emerge, what we know is deeply troubling: the suspect was in possession of weapons, improvised explosive devices, and an ISIS flag. This horrific incident constitutes a blatant act of terror on the American homeland, and the people of our country deserve to know whether federal law enforcement agencies can sufficiently prevent...

This is the incredible moment a wounded Ukrainian soldier and his Russian foe emotionally paid their respects to each other as the fighter took his final breaths after being slashed by Putin's serviceman in a knife fight.

A doctor operating on a cancer patient accidentally 'transplanted' the disease into himself, in what is believed to be a one-of-a-kind event. A 32-year-old man from Germany had been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer and was having a tumor removed from his abdomen. While in surgery, the doctor performing the procedure accidentally cut his hand, but the wound was disinfected and bandaged immediately. However, five months later, the 53-year-old surgeon noticed a small lump developing where he had injured himself months earlier and sought care. The lump turned out to be a malignant tumor and tests showed it...

New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai has launched a blistering attack on the team's fanbase as their awful season creaks towards a miserable ending this weekend. The Patriots lost 40-7 at home to Los Angeles Chargers in their last game and if they lose again this weekend to the Buffalo Bills, they'll have the No. 1 pick for the NFL Draft later this year. Tavai appeared on The Gregg Hill Show on Friday morning, defending under-fire head coach Jerod Mayo and instead blaming the fans for criticizing the players. 'I definitely told a fan to quiet down in a non-polite...

NEW ORLEANS, LA — The FBI announced today that the horrific scene in New Orleans was not a terrorist attack, thereby confirming to the nation that it was, in fact, a terrorist attack. The Bureau further stated that the perpetrator had no ties to Islam, letting the nation know that he was an Islamic terrorist. "Judging from the ISIS flag on the truck driven by a man named Shamsud-Din Jabbar to commit mass murder, we see no sign that this attack was terrorism," explained FBI spokesman Dean Richmond. "The bombs and assault weapons inside the vehicle, as well as the...

“[America] is breaking down,” declared Donald Trump in a recent Truth Social post, responding to the outbreak of terrorism and violence that embroiled the nation in the first two days of the new year.Had victory not been secured on November 5th, the likelihood of the country surviving much beyond January 20th, given present dismal trends, would have been miniscule. (snip) Though we may have narrowly dodged a bullet this time around, unless we do the real work needed to shore up this country’s sovereignty, its security, and the administration of justice over the next four years, the terror will return,...

President Joe Biden on Friday moved to block the multi-billion-dollar sale of US Steel to Japan’s Nippon Steel, citing national security concerns. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the US has been reviewing the $14.1 billion deal on whether it poses security risks for months. On Dec. 23, CFIUS said it was at a standstill, leaving the issue up to Biden. The president’s decision is a major use of executive power on a heavily-politicized election year issue. His announcement comes with just over two weeks left in his term. President-elect Donald Trump had vowed to crush the deal when he...

Allstate CEO Tom Wilson received a measure of backlash after he insisted that Americans must respond to the New Orleans terror attack by accepting people’s “imperfections and differences.” Wilson made the comments after ISIS supporter Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove into crowds in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing 14 and injuring at least 35. Jabbar posted a video online professing his support for Islamic State shortly before going on the rampage, according to authorities. In remarks coinciding with the start of the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the corporation’s CEO suggested the attack was a reminder of the...

SPEAKER VOTE--HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES -- LIVE FEED LINK The House will come to order at 11:00 D.C. time.

This breakthrough could revolutionize the future of clean energy. Researchers in Japan made a groundbreaking discovery that could bring us closer to sustainable energy from nuclear fusion reactors, paving the way for longer-lasting, more efficient clean energy systems. In a recent study, the team developed protective coatings to enhance the durability of materials used in fusion reactors, addressing a key challenge: material degradation from extreme heat and corrosive liquid metal coolants. Fusion reactors, which mimic the sun's energy production process, hold huge potential as a limitless source of clean energy. However, their intense environment makes it difficult to find materials...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJohn testified further, saying, “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from the sky and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.” John 1:32–34It’s interesting to note that in the Gospel of John, Saint John the Baptist never baptized Jesus, as is depicted in the Gospels of...

EXCLUSIVE — The State Department has crafted plans to distribute staffers from a shuttered office accused of censoring conservatives to a new internal “hub” that will coordinate its activities, according to documents obtained by the Washington Examiner. The Global Engagement Center, the office that Republicans accused of working with groups aiming to demonetize right-leaning media outlets in the United States, shut down in late 2024 upon lawmakers agreeing to no longer fund it. However, in a non-public letter to members of Congress on Dec. 6, the State Department outlined its plans to “realign” more than 50 GEC officials and tens...

A recent photograph of Steve Bannon, former advisor to Donald Trump, has ignited a media frenzy in Turkey. The image, widely circulated on social media, features Bannon wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "Free Constantinople," a message that has been perceived by many in Turkey as provocative. The controversy began when Rahim Kassam, a British political commentator, shared the photo on X (formerly known as Twitter). Kassam captioned the image, "Steve Bannon opened his favorite Christmas present," implying the t-shirt was a gift. Unsurprisingly, the Turkish media reacted strongly, labeling the image a "provocation" and engaging in extensive commentary....
