The base, which hosts strategic bombers, was previously targeted in past long-range attacks.

Last year, Irish archaeologists working at a fort on the Drumanagh promontory north of Dublin uncovered a 2,000-year-old charred fig, the oldest evidence of the exotic Mediterranean fruit ever found on the island. RTE Ireland reports that they recently made another remarkable discovery -- an intact Roman pot. Although the Roman Empire's boundaries enveloped much of Europe, they never reached Ireland. That did not mean, however, that Roman influence and goods did not land on the Emerald Isle. Previous archaeological work at Drumanagh has demonstrated that although there was not a settlement located there, people with a Roman background or...

Scientists were recently baffled by DNA evidence that revealed the existence of a genetically unknown group of early South American settlers. Archaeologists are continually adapting their models for how human populations spread from Asia through North America to South America, and this new research is bound to alter those theories once again. The Associated Press reports that the researchers analyzed ancient DNA from 21 individuals who lived in Colombia's Altiplano Cundiboyacense region thousands of years ago. Located near current-day Bogotá, this area was also close to the ancient land bridge connecting South and Central America, the route that early human...

Meet Bob and Chuck. Brilliant scientists at a new company have determined that Chuck will outlive Bob, so Bob may as well be discarded. See how unfathomably twisted that is? And yet it’s the model for a new, pricey business that somehow got a glowing piece in The Wall Street Journal. Nucleus Genomics, in its infinite wisdom (that’s dripping with sarcasm), has revealed a $5,999 analysis of embryos, which can reveal certain factors, like likelihood of age-related diseases, height, and IQ. It basically allows prospective parents using in vitro fertilization to go window shopping for the “best” possible baby, as...

Cherry Hill, NJ — A medical emergency was reported on April 4, 2025, at the Cherry Hill Women’s Center, located at 500 North Kings Highway in New Jersey. The incident involved a 37-year-old woman undergoing an abortion procedure. The Emergency According to public records, a staffer from the abortion facility placed a 911 call around 11:00 A.M. While the official 911 audio was heavily redacted, it features an unusual and notable moment where the abortionist suddenly asks the caller for the phone in order to speak directly with the dispatcher. Abortionists rarely take care of 911 calls themselves. This may...

Pressure is growing on federal agencies to regulate the abortion drug mifepristone, following publication of a series of alarming reports. The latest report, published last week by the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), analyzed Medicare and Medicaid data and discovered that the vast majority (over 80%) of women who visited an emergency room with complications from the abortion drug had their abortions miscoded as miscarriages. The study examined nearly 30,000 emergency room visits and found that between 2016 and 2021, a period of five years, miscodes of emergency room visits following surgical abortions increased in prevalence from a rate of 26.8%...

A third Biden autopen was discovered on Thursday amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.” House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup. On Wednesday President Trump directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.” Trump announced: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing an investigation into who ran the United States...

American children are still being indoctrinated in the false narrative that, unless they are accepting of a genderless society, they are at risk of being labeled unwelcoming, unloving, and disrespectful toward others. Still, in a piece published Sunday at Blaze Media, Chris Enloe called for Christians to finally take back their “stolen” rainbow. “As the most holy secular celebration — a month-long altar call to the gods of sexual identity and self-expression, complete with its own liturgies, saints, and sacraments — Pride Month claims to be a celebration of liberation and truth,” Enloe wrote. “But beneath the rainbows and glitter...

The most famous bromance on the planet was very publicly put through the wringer today. Business titan Elon Musk and Donald Trump went after each other with a vengeance. For several days Elon Musk has made public his disdain for the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) that President Trump is pushing to. On the other hand, Trump understands that the BBB cut taxes, cut the trade deficit, and bring jobs to America, Today tension between Trump and Elon Musk boiled over after the President responded to Elon’s trashing of the Big Beautiful Bill and its spending levels, sparking a very...

As pilgrims walk across the country in public procession with the Eucharist, a group of protesters has begun to follow, shouting irreverent remarks that mock the Real Presence of Jesus in the consecrated host. Organizers of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage confirmed at a June 5 press conference that the protests, now estimated at 40 to 50 people, were not present during last year’s pilgrimage but have become a regular occurrence this year. Jason Shanks, president of the National Eucharistic Congress, described the protesters as “well-organized,” noting that while they have remained nonviolent so far, organizers are coordinating with dioceses and...

Maine recently updated its drug labeling law to shield physicians who prescribe abortion pills, allowing the prescribers to list their healthcare facility instead of their names on the label. Local ABC affiliate WMTW reported that Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, signed the bill May 29, two days after both chambers of Maine’s legislature approved it. The bill covers abortion drugs mifepristone, misoprostol, and their generic alternatives. According to WMTW, Mills has a history of shielding physicians and healthcare workers who commit abortions. Last year, she signed a bill that bans other states from taking legal action against abortionists or those...

Zack and Lindsay Knotts have filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, following Zack’s arrest during a pro-life demonstration outside the Northeast Ohio Women’s Center on December 28, 2024. The case stems from an incident in which Zack was arrested for using a battery-powered megaphone to share his pro-life message from a public sidewalk. According to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which represents him, the megaphone was quieter than surrounding traffic, while abortion clinic escorts allegedly used whistles and kazoos in an attempt to drown out Zack’s megaphone. Despite this, the ACLJ stated,...

About 250 Hollywood stars joined with Planned Parenthood last week in a full-page New York Times ad that called for continued taxpayer funding of the abortion industry giant. “I’m for Planned Parenthood,” proclaims the ad. The celebrities, among them singers Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and Cyndi Lauper, and actor George Lopez, cite three reasons for their support, including because they’re for “freedom” and for “health care.” Their third reason echoes Planned Parenthood’s common deceitful claim that they support getting “the government” out of decisions about abortion. In reality, Planned Parenthood and its allies are, in this very ad, pushing for...

A brief note on everybody’s least favorite hectoring eco-scold: I regret to inform you that Greta Thunberg is in the news again. It barely matters why, really — more nonsense about Gaza and “genocide.” We’ll get to that in a moment, but that’s not really why we’re here. ... It must have been an amazing high for Thunberg to be the center of so much adulation. I suspect this because she has been chasing that high ever since, long after the media gaze moved on. In the Biden era, the media were no longer interested in highlighting the urgency of...

CNN reports: “Russian ballistic missiles and drones have been launched toward Ukraine from multiple directions, the Ukrainian Air Force said on Telegram Friday. Fires caused by falling debris and drone strikes were reported in buildings across Kyiv, as Ukraine attempted to repel the Russian attack, the Head of Kyiv City Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko said. A CNN producer in the Kyiv region reported hearing at least two explosions.”

WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) - About $22 billion worth of SpaceX's government contracts is at risk and multiple U.S. space programs could face dramatic changes in the fallout of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's explosive feud on Thursday. The disagreement, rooted in Musk's criticism of Trump's tax-cut and spending legislation that began last week, quickly spiraled out of control. Trump lashed out at Musk when the president spoke in the Oval Office. Then in a series of X posts, Musk launched barbs at Trump, who threatened to terminate government contracts with Musk's companies.

Ukraine has deployed an AI-powered turret that has already shot down at least six of Russia's devastating Shahed drones, a military officer told Business Insider. Yuriy, the commander of Ukraine's air defense group, told BI last week that the system, called the Sky Sentinel, has "already been deployed in real combat, demonstrating high effectiveness." He said one prototype shot down six Shaheds in as many operational uses. This appears to be the first confirmation that one of the Sky Sentinels had downed up to six exploding drones. Ukraine previously said that the turret had been successfully tested, including on the...
