President Donald Trump faces a bevy of district court judges issuing restraining orders and injunctions blocking his executive actions, and Josh Hammer suggests the president take a leaf out of Abraham Lincoln’s book on the issue. Trump has responded to the orders with calls for Congress to impeach lower court judges or restrain them in other ways, and observers on the Left have claimed Trump’s actions are creating a constitutional crisis. Chief Justice John Roberts publicly chided Trump over the judicial impeachment call. Hogwash, says Hammer, a lawyer who clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit....

The ghost of a girl caused a truck driver to overturn on Federal Highway 57, during the early hours of Wednesday morning in Castaños. That was what the operator of the tractor-trailer himself said when he was rescued from the cab of the vehicle where he was trapped. He was found in shock and injured. He maintained that the spectral figure floating in the air crossed him on the road, and frightened, so as not to run it over, he abruptly turned the steering wheel. He lost control of the truck and ended up overturned at kilometer 170. Axel Gabriel...

Scientists have recreated foie gras without force-feeding by using natural enzymes found in ducks. The process mimics what happens inside the bird’s body, resulting in the same texture and taste. It’s a delicious step toward cruelty-free indulgence A team of researchers has developed a groundbreaking new way to make foie gras that eliminates the need for force-feeding, traditionally used to achieve the delicacy’s rich texture. By using the duck’s own fat-digesting enzymes and a simplified, additive-free recipe, they recreated the signature mouthfeel and flavor of foie gras. The result? An ethical, scientifically innovative twist on a centuries-old luxury – and...

Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters suggested President Donald Trump should investigate and potentially deport first lady Melania Trump during an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles over the weekend. “When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he’s going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania,” Waters was seen saying from the stage of...

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order requiring people to provide proof of American citizenship when they register to vote and demanding that all ballots be reviewed by Election Day. The order requires government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms, directs the attorney general to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations and conditions federal election-related funds on states complying with federal election integrity measures. “There are other steps that we will be taking in the coming weeks,” Trump said just before signing...

Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 @MarinaMedvin: Why is Columbia covering for Muslim students who paint swastikas during anti-Israel disruption sessions on campus? How come the janitors is the first time we hear about it?

Protests have erupted across northern Gaza on Tuesday as Palestinians call for an end to the conflict with Israel — and declaring that they’re “sending a message to the entire world” that they want Hamas to permanently leave the war-torn Strip. Hundreds of Palestinians were seen marching in the cities of Beit Lahia and Jabalia with signs that read, “Stop the war,” as civilians waved around white flags and chanted “Hamas out,” viral videos on social media show. The demonstration in Beit Lahia, which began in front of the Indonesian Hospital, saw the crowd vocally condemning Hamas’ rule and demanding...

Setting aside any "national security" concerns arising from letting The Atlantic's Russia-hoaxer Jeffrey Goldberg in on the Administration's Houthi-bombing call, I doubt that any creature more sentient than an amoeba can have been surprised to learn that US cabinet members "loathe" European "freeloading". If you're paying attention, you'll know that total contempt for the Euros appears to be entirely bipartisan. Are you shocked by Hegseth dismissing the Continent as "pathetic"? Well, you should have been around in the Obama era, when Victoria Nuland, She-Wolf of the Donbass, was rather pithier: F**k the EU! Or in the Bush era, when Ms...

Massive anti-Hamas protests, Al Jazeera and the MSM do not cover it, but Tousi has footage, including protestors mocking Al Jazeera. Hamas founder Jamal AlSharif is worm food. Demonstrators are young, weren't even born when the last election was held. Hamas is unable to brutally suppress the protests, and they are in neighborhoods with little or no war damage. Transcript linked to video.

In what's expected to soon be commonplace, artificial intelligence is being harnessed to pick up signs of cancer more accurately than the trained human eye. This latest AI model has a near 100% success rate and serves as a clear sign of things to come. An international team of scientists including those from Australia's Charles Darwin University (CDU) has developed a novel AI model known as ECgMPL, which can assess microscopic images of cells and tissue to identify endometrial cancer – one of the most common forms of reproductive tumors – with an impressive 99.26% accuracy. And the researchers say...

Only around one in 10 common non-surgical and non-invasive treatments for lower back pain are effective, suggests a pooled data analysis. And the pain relief they offer is only marginally better than that achieved with a placebo. Low back pain is common and debilitating, and 80–90% of it is categorized as non-specific, because there's no immediately identifiable cause. A total of 301 trials investigating 56 different treatments or treatment combinations were included in the pooled data analysis. The most common interventions were NSAIDs (27 trials), opioids (26 trials), laser and light therapy (25), acupuncture (24), and gentle manual therapy (mobilization;...

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Despite pioneering self-government, the United States now fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections employed by modern, developed nations, as well as those still developing. India and Brazil, for example, are tying voter identification to a biometric database, while the United States largely relies on self-attestation for citizenship. In tabulating votes, Germany and Canada require use of paper ballots, counted in public by local officials, which substantially reduces the number...

Top Democrats tell us their party is in its deepest hole in nearly 50 years — and they fear things could actually get worse: The party has its lowest favorability ever. No popular national leader to help improve it. Insufficient numbers to stop most legislation in Congress. A durable minority on the Supreme Court. Dwindling influence over the media ecosystem, with right-leaning podcasters and social media accounts ascendant. Young voters are growing dramatically more conservative. A bad 2026 map for Senate races. Democratic Senate retirements could make it harder for the party to flip the House, with members tempted by...

A deep dive into the consequential upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election, one week prior to Election Day.

The missile city houses thousands of Kheybar Shekan pinpoint ballistic missiles, Haj Qassem missiles, Qadr H, Sejil missile, etc. This is 1 one of the 100s of Iran’s missile cities.

An incident involving two jets belonging to the French Air Force's aerobatic display team took place during training in Eastern France. Reports say three people ejected and are receiving medical care. Video footage posted on X/Twitter shows two aircraft in the Patrouille de France formation colliding and breaking apart in flight near Saint-Dizier. A French Air & Space Force spokesperson source told France24 that two pilots and a passenger were able to eject and were found conscious. They are now receiving appropriate medical care. One of the aircraft collided with a silo at a nearby industrial facility causing a fire...

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office announced on Tuesday that they have identified the remains found in 1995 as those of a missing teen from New York. On March 22, 1995, partial remains were found in a riverbed off Highway 129 east of Rogge Lane. All investigators could determine from DNA testing was that the remains were from an unknown female. Her identity was a mystery for decades before her case was re-examined in 2019 when her remains were sent for more forensic testing, including carbon dating. The testing determined that she was likely born in the 1960s, with her...

Actor Malik Yoba recently made headlines with his statement that he no longer identifies as a Black man or a person of color. Instead, he has chosen to label himself a “Non-White Man.” This declaration has sparked a variety of reactions, with some people interpreting it as a challenge to the current political climate and ongoing debates around race and identity. Yoba’s statement seems to tie into broader issues about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in the U.S., particularly those targeted during the Trump administration. Under Trump, efforts were made to reduce or eliminate DEI programs in government agencies,...

Thanks to President Trump, Democrats will have a more challenging time stealing elections from Republican candidates in general elections. As TGP readers know, the last three elections (from 2020-2024) were ridden by rampant examples of election fraud perpetrated by the Democratic Party. In addition to Trump, several conservative candidates have alleged the fraud was so massive it cost them winnable elections. Back in August of last year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton got honest about the Democrat Party’s attempts to steal the US elections in 2020 and 2024. He also expects Democrats will again attempt election fraud on a massive...
