A Danish man living in Mississippi for a dozen years has been imprisoned in Louisiana for more than a month after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers took him into custody because of a “paperwork miscommunication” during his effort to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, his wife says.......................... ......For years, Kasper went through the process of trying to become a U.S. citizen, and Savannah Eriksen – now homeschooling their children and pregnant with their fifth baby, due in August – said her husband’s move toward citizenship appeared to be on track. He received notice last September that his naturalization application was...

In the good ol’ US of frickin’ A we take pride in super-sizing just about everything. From cheeseburgers, to breast implants (nope, not going to link to that one), to deficit spending, to balls of twine, bigger is simply better to many Americans. But despite creating such gigantic aerial icons as the Boeing 747 and the C-5 Galaxy, the USA doesn’t have a monopoly on gigantic airplanes… far from it. This is the tragic story of the Ukrainian-built Antonov An-225 Mriya (meaning “dream” in Ukrainian), which held several records as the largest and heaviest cargo airplane in operation, until it...

More details have emerged about the Wednesday night shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, that has left two staffers from the Israeli Embassy dead. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) held a press conference a short time ago and revealed that 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, had been taken into custody by law enforcement officials on suspicion of carrying out what increasingly looks like a brutal act of anti-semitism. Chillingly, multiple sources report that Rodriquez was heard chanting, "Free, free Palestine!" while in custody.

Democrats Don’t Get The Benefit Of The Doubt On Biden’s Health, ‘86,’ Or Anything ElseWe don’t know all the details of Biden’s cancer timeline or Comey’s latest beach walk. But we do know about Democrats’ relationship with the truth. And that tells us everything.Joe Biden’s inner circle can’t stress this enough: Before last Friday, the former president had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Pinky swear.A Biden spokesman “clarified” the “timeline” in a statement to multiple news outlets after widespread speculation that Biden’s Sunday cancer announcement wasn’t so much a new diagnosis as a new disclosure. Even Democrat doctors came...

The US military believes that this collaboration will inform future strategy decisions and operational planning. ============================================================== Artistic representation of fighter jets entering Radia Windrunner plane for transport. Radia =============================================================== Windrunner, the world’s largest plane that is currently being built in Colorado, is being eyed by the United States military for playing a very different role than what it is primarily meant for. Radia, a Colorado-based startup, is working on the Windrunner, which will be the world’s largest plane with 12 times the cargo volume of the huge Boeing 747. The company believes that it will cater to the wind energy...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) reacted to new reporting about then-President Joe Biden’s fitness by saying, “I don’t think it’s a new story that Joe Biden is a seasoned senior leader of our country, it was probably the most covered story of 2024, questions about his age.” Coons said, “I was surprised by what I saw the night of the debate. I hadn’t had a previous experience like that with President Biden. Ultimately, several weeks later, he decided to drop out. And, frankly, rather than looking back and re-litigating the timing...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(5/22/25)[Prayer]Water, Rivers, and Streams in the BibleGenesis 37:1-3612 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem, 13 and Israel said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to them.” “Very well,” he replied. 14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a man...

Racism doesn’t become justice when roles reverse—bigotry dressed as victimhood still poisons the well of a multiracial democracy. One reason why the public turned on DEI was its insistence that roughly 70 percent of the country was stereotyped as victimizers by virtue of their skin color. In contrast, the other “diverse” 30 percent were de facto considered the victimized. In such absurd binaries, the left returned to the old “one-drop” rule of the antebellum South, suggesting that anyone with any nonwhite ancestry was a minority victim. And once that Marxist-inspired dichotomy was institutionalized, a corollary was established that the self-declared...

“‘“Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”’” (Matthew 6:10). Two polar opposite views of God’s will can cause Christians to have faulty understandings of prayer and the accomplishing of God’s purposes. On the one hand, some see His will as absolutely deterministic—whatever will be, will be. They either pray little at all, figuring the divine will is inevitable, or they are resignedly obedient, praying for God’s will simply because He tells them to. Neither approach to prayer demonstrates faith. Viewing God’s sovereignty in a fatalistic, prayerless way robs us of the joy of aligning our wills...

By Scott Wong, Sahil Kapur, Kyle Stewart and Syedah Asghar WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives on Thursday morning narrowly passed a massive domestic policy package, a major victory for President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., after weeks of heated negotiations within the GOP. The multitrillion-dollar tax-cut and spending measure now heads to the Senate, where Republicans have vowed to change it. Following hours of overnight debate, the vote on final passage in the House was 215-214, with two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio — joining all Democrats present in opposition....

Sami Abu Zuhri, the current spokesman for Hamas, just said the quiet part out loud while living a life of luxury in Qatar: the Arab Palestinian lives in Gaza under Hamas’s rule are nothing more than pawns in a greater Caliphate good chess game, “material calculations” and a “price that must be paid” for Hamas to continue on its quest for terroristic subjugation. After all, the “wombs” of Gaza women will simply produce more—as another Islamist quipped, Israel has nuclear bombs, Muslims have “offspring bombs.” Here’s the story on Abu Zuhri, from an article by Ronny Reyes at the New...

Two people were murdered at the Jewish Museum in DC after a year and a half of calls for violence and murder against Jews, as the right to terrorise Jews has been vigorously defended. The protesters who have spent the last year and a half calling for Jewish blood got their wish when an antisemite fed on a diet of lies and blood libels shot and murdered two Israeli embassy employees at the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, last night, while shouting “Free Palestine.” This was a terrorist attack targeting Jews in the capital of the most powerful nation in...

If recent history is any guide, the party that canceled common sense may be canceled by the voters it took for granted. If Democrats in Vacationland thought the censure of Rep. Laurel Libby would put an end to the education policy debate surrounding Title IX—and the participation of biological men in women’s sports—they’ve misread the moment, misread federal law, and badly misread their voters. What was meant to silence dissent has only amplified it. What was supposed to end the debate has cracked it wide open. In March, I wrote about how Democrats’ schizophrenic treatment of women’s sports—both existential and...

The Biden admin 'violated the inviolable principle of informed consent,' Senator Ron Johnson said. The Biden administration was aware of potentially deadly side effects associated with COVID vaccines and chose not to alert the public about the risks for months, according to a bombshell Senate report obtained by The Daily Wire.

Thanks to the Biden administration's introduction of "stochastic terrorism" to the FBI and DOJ, and in light of the recent shooting in DC of Israeli embassy staffers, we can now open investigation on anyone who: 1) has attended college 2) has a keffiyeh in their possession 3) says "Free Palestine"

A launch ceremony for a new North Korean naval destroyer went horribly wrong in front of 'supreme' leader Kim Jong Un, according to state media. Kim watched on in horror as the 5,000-ton ship was severely damaged after failing to launch properly.

The outlet confirmed that during the ceremony on Wednesday 'a serious accident occurred'. In a statement KCNA said: 'Due to...

Walmart is cutting 1,500 jobs in a bid to reduce expenses and streamline decision-making, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. A separate Bloomberg report stated that the layoffs will affect corporate staff at the company’s headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, as well as employees in other office locations.
