Liberal media has been uninterested in investigating the couple involved in shooting dead a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Coventry, Vermont near the Canadian border on inauguration day. Why? Both in the duo are leftist trans militants. One of the deceased armed militants is a German believed to be in the country on an H-1B visa. The duo is allegedly connected to a trans terror cell. Federal law enforcement had been surveilling German man Felix "Ophelia" Baukholt and Seattle @UW student Teresa "Milo" Youngblut (xe/xem/xyrs) after staff at a Lyndonville, Vt. motel reported seeing them with black tactical clothing, weapons...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:34–35Jesus said many things that caused people to pause and think. Today’s Gospel passage is one of those times. Just prior to the passage quoted above, Jesus was told that His mother and brothers were outside looking for Him. After hearing this, instead of going to greet them, He asked those around Him, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” Then He looked around and answered His own question with the above quoted Scripture....

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. 27. The peace bubble that has for ten days past floated so brilliantly before the gaze of men, has to-day come to a sudden collapse. Late last evening FRANCIS P. BLAIR, Sr., returned from Richmond, and brought with him precisely what sensible men expected -- that is, just nothing. He brought neither olive branch in his hand, Peace Commissioners under his cloak, nor a treaty in his pocket. His mission, so far as practical results are concerned, is, in fact, as Mr. BLAIR expressed himself to-day, "a total failure." That JEFF...

A bill that would allow victims and insurance companies to seek damages in court from fossil fuel companies after weather disasters was introduced Monday in the state legislature by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, in an effort to address California’s home insurance crisis. Supporters of Senate Bill 222 say it could help reduce insurance premiums by allowing insurers to recoup costs from fossil fuel companies — accused of misleading the public about the consequences of their products — rather than relying solely on rate increases.

US President Donald Trump has paused grants, loans and other federal assistance, according to a leaked government memo verified by the BBC's US partner, CBS News. In the memo, the acting head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) calls on government agencies to ensure spending is consistent with Trump's priorities. The full impact of the pause is not yet clear, although the memo specifies that Medicare and Social Security benefits are not affected. It comes days after the US halted nearly all foreign aid. The move has been criticised by members of the rival Democratic Party who warn...

A piece of fossilised vomit dating back to the time of the dinosaurs has been discovered in Denmark. Local fossil hunter Peter Bennicke found the fossil at Stevns Klint - a Unesco-listed coastal cliff in the east of the country. The self-declared "fossil geek" said he came across some unusual-looking fragments which turned out to be pieces of sea lily - an underwater species related to starfish and sea urchins - in a piece of chalk. Mr Bennicke took the fragments to be examined at the Museum of East Zealand, which confirmed the vomit could be dated to the end...

A new international study suggests that vaccines may be driving bird flu evolution, as efforts to contain the spread of the virus face increasing challenges. Amid growing concerns about potential human cases, a new analysis has found increasingly resilient bird flu strains are arising globally. Despite this, significant concerns for rapidly spreading H5 bird flu infections remain isolated within avian populations. Mass Poultry Vaccines In many countries, farmers feed livestock with steady doses of antibiotics and vaccines to keep them healthy until their turn at the slaughterhouse or as they continue to produce milk and eggs for animal agriculture. The...

One week in, the Trump administration is broadening its assault on the functions of government and shifting control of the federal purse strings further away from members of Congress. President Donald Trump’s budget office Monday ordered a total freeze on “all federal financial assistance” that could be targeted under his previous executive orders pausing funding for a wide range of priorities — from domestic infrastructure and energy projects to diversity-related programs and foreign aid. In a two-page memo obtained by POLITICO, the Office of Management and Budget announced all federal agencies would be forced to suspend payments — with the...

Justice Elena Kagan denied the petition to prevent California from investigating and probably jailing doctors who went against Newsom’s COVID-19 protocol. If I remember correctly, isn’t she the former Solicitor General who told them to release you because she could not explain how you were being held without any charge of civil contempt for 7 years? ANSWER: Yes, your memory is correct. The judge was as corrupt as Trump discovered in New York City. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals is corrupt and they only protect the judges and government and even refuse to order judges to stop committing felonies...

It was less than a year ago, in April 2024, that then-candidate Donald Trump went on a late-night tear against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “I lived with RFK Jr. in New York and watched him convince Governor Cuomo to make Environmental moves that were outright NASTY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Upstate New York was not allowed to drill or frack as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and others ripped off New York Energy. Because of this, prices have skyrocketed all over that part of the Country.” “I’d even take Biden over Junior, because our Country would last a year or two longer...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has decided that fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades will be built by an “outside consultant.” The decision was made without any consultation with local residents or any process of input from those affected. Bass appeared in Pacific Palisades on Monday on an unannounced visit together with “chief recovery officer Steve Soboroff,” whom Bass appointed earlier this month — also without local consultation — and who had been absent. The Los Angeles Times reported that Bass announced her intention to hire a consultant to handle the rebuilding: The city of Los Angeles is planning to hire an outside...

The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen key officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting President Donald Trump, after Acting Attorney General James McHenry said they could not be trusted in "faithfully implementing the president’s agenda," Fox News Digital has learned. McHenry has transmitted a letter to each official notifying them of their termination, a Justice Department official exclusively told Fox News Digital. "Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump," a DOJ official told Fox News Digital. "In...

Last month, during the thick of the holidays, I found myself in a rare though not totally unprecedented predicament: I wasn’t sure which way to bet on the stock market in the year ahead. In my December column, I told you there were three possible 2025 outcomes – all of them seemingly likely, and to a vexingly similar degree. I also told you that I’d come back to you when I could conclude which is, in fact, the most likely. Well, I’m back – and with an answer that has surprised me in more ways than one. Recall the three...

We knew this announcement was coming for days: CNN’s Jim Acosta is no longer with the network. The notable anti-Trump reporter and host was not keen on being relegated to the graveyard shift. Acosta would helm an anchor’s desk between midnight and two in the morning. I don’t see the problem, as the ratings likely would’ve been the same. Still, the man is making for the exits, so we won’t have these epic showdowns that often lit up social media.

Much has been made about what Donald J. Trump did and did not say in his second inaugural address. To be specific, President Trump highlighted a 180-year-old, history-laden idea of the United States – which for him, defines America. In his address, President Trump vowed, “We will pursue our Manifest Destiny into the stars,” promising to send astronauts to plant the “Stars and Stripes” on our planetary neighbor — Mars.

It's not really a question...

Notorious never-Trump "journalist" Jim Acosta is leaving CNN, according to a new report. Oliver Darcy's Status News was the first to report the news: "The anchor, I’m told, signaled to associates in private conversations over the weekend that he intends to depart the network after its chief executive, Mark Thompson, booted him from the morning programming lineup — a move that conspicuously coincided with Donald Trump’s return to power. "CNN brass, as we first reported earlier this month, decided to strip Acosta of his 10am show, which he has anchored to great ratings success over the last 11 months, at...

Who steals baby formula? A lot of people, apparently; including two alleged thieves that West Sacramento police say stole $5,000 worth of formula from local Target locations a few days ago. Baby formula is a commonly stolen retail item because of its shelf life and essential value to many people. There’s even a black market for it — but the buyers aren’t who you’d guess

Over 10,000 homes destroyed, and $50-$100 billion in damages as California battles another explosive wildfire. Find out why nothing has changed and who's accountable:“The estimate of the damage is somewhere now between, perhaps, $50 and $100 billion, and we don't have enough homes for the people who were left. But here's my point, nothing has really changed. Karen Bass is still the mayor. The deputy mayor, Brian Williams, is still under house arrest, or he's under investigation for phoning in a bomb threat.” “And we still have this mysterious thing, don't we? Who causes these fires? It's taboo. You cannot...
