ATLANTA - A Georgia state senator has been taken into custody after he defied an order banning him from the House chambers during Gov. Brian Kemp's State of the State Address. What we know: Thursday, FOX 5 cameras were rolling as Moore tried to enter the chamber and was blocked by the doorkeeper of the house. "This is a joint session of the General Assembly. Your House rules do not apply," Moore told the man. "I'm going into the chamber." After struggling to get in, Moore was pushed to the ground. He was then surrounded by members of the Georgia...

Dying CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence is moving 212-year-old Wolf Blitzer to mornings. Oh, yeah, that should do it. Get this… CNNLOL is also thinking about moving Kasie Hunt from her morning perch to Blitzer’s current afternoon slot. This is called shuffling around the deckchairs on the Titanic.

...We’ve been covering Pence’s deep dive into the dark, murky swamp waters from every conceivable angle.... ...But now, Pence is kicking things up a notch. He’s using his uniparty organization—ironically named “Advancing American Freedom”—to undermine President Trump’s vision of Making America Healthy Again (MAHA) by appointing RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary. Pence is so desperate to stop RFK Jr., he’s now grasping at straws, trying to make the nation’s food/water issue all about abortion as a distraction and a way to build an army against MAHA....

The FBI has unveiled details of a massive international cyberattack orchestrated by the Chinese hacker group Mustang Panda, which used the PlugX malware to compromise thousands of computers in at least 170 countries. According to the Justice Department, the group—described as “PRC state-sponsored hackers”—is funded by the Chinese government and has primarily targeted European government devices. Since 2014, Mustang Panda has utilized PlugX malware to infiltrate government and business systems across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The malware, initially designed to exploit Windows-based devices, was modified in 2020 to spread via USB flash drives. Thousands of devices, including many home...

VIDEOPoor Jamie Mannina. The guy just can't catch a break. He was caught on camera attempting to act like a pedo in 2021 by Predator DC. After he fled the scene of his public shame, he was very very lucky that he wasn't imprisoned. So after that experience, you would think he would keep a low profile and be very very careful in his interactions with members of the opposite sex who seem to show an interest in him because of the possibility of hidden cameras. So what happened? Four years later the very same Jamie Mannina got caught in...

....CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY: “Ms. Bondi — should you be confirmed — the actions you take to change the DOJ's course must be for accountability, so this never happens again.. The only way to accomplish this is through transparency.”.... ...One of the highlights of the day, was how artfully Pam Bondi dodged the Dems attempts to paint 2020 as the “fairest election” in all the land. George Behizy: Pam Bondi just refused to fall into the Democrat Senator’s trap of saying that Trump lost the 2020 election fairly. She knows it was rigged and stolen. Sen. Durbin: “Are you prepared to say...

During Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearings for attorney general, top Senate Republicans asked her to support the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which federal agents have abused to spy on Americans. The FBI and Department of Justice used FISA to spy on former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, as The Federalist previously reported. Section 702 of the legislation allows federal agencies to collect communications of noncitizens, outside the country, without a warrant. It supposedly bars the government from spying on Americans, but the CIA was caught in 2022 using the law — which Congressional Republicans reauthorized last year — to spy...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson No, this is not AI… Mazie Hirono just asked Doug Burgum this question at his confirmation hearing today: "Have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?"

Daily Readings from the USCCBA leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” Mark 1:40–41If we come to our divine Lord with faith, kneel down before Him and present our need to Him, then we also will receive the same response given to this leper: “I do will it. Be made clean.” These words should give us hope in the midst of any and every challenge in...

Massachusetts' first openly non-binary elected politician has taken a month off work with for the sake of their mental health after being accused of laziness and asked to return to in-person meetings.

...Macedo criticized the policy, which she says would have “put truck drivers – many of whom are from working-class communities – out of business.” Additionally, this burden on the trucking industry would only contribute to the affordability crisis the State of California is experiencing. Policies such as these fail to take into consideration the financial impact on businesses and consumers. It is time the Governor, CARB and the rest of his Administration work with, instead of against, employers and their workers who are critical to the State’s economy. Alexandra Macedo. ...

[Catholic Caucus] Fr. Heimerl: From the ashes of the ‘Bergoglian church’ the Catholic Church will rise againWhile Pope Francis continues his reign of tyranny over the Church, violating doctrine and traditional disciplines, Catholicism transcends the tenure of any one particular pontiff, giving us hope for the flourishment of tradition once again.Some sentences stay with you and you think about for a long time. These are usually sentences that you didn’t expect, and they are often sentences that explain the world to you. These sentences are rarely special on the surface, and sometimes they come from someone you would never have...

Research has reported a significant connection between higher green tea consumption and fewer cerebral white matter lesions in older adults without dementia. Findings suggest that drinking three or more glasses of green tea daily may help protect brain health, while coffee consumption showed no significant effect. Cerebral white matter lesions, often indicative of small vessel disease, have been associated with cognitive decline, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Data collection occurred between 2016 and 2018, including dietary assessments, MRI scans, and cognitive evaluations of 8,766 participants aged 65 and older. Brain MRI scans provided data on the volume of white...
