Suspected political assassin Vance Luther Boelter was captured Sunday following an intense manhunt for the gunman accused of murdering a Minnesota state lawmaker and wounding another, state officials announced. Boelter, a 57-year-old former appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was sought by police for allegedly wounding Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and killing former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. “After a two-day manhunt and two sleepless nights, law enforcement have apprehended Vance Boelter,” Walz said during a press briefing.

I’ve been shooting for a half century and have spent considerable time and money to get the best training available. Over the years I’ve earned eight instructor’s certifications and developed a high degree of skill. But if one gains a bit of wisdom with age, one realizes two things: (1) there is so very much you don’t know and will never know, and (2) there are always those younger, better looking, bigger, faster, smarter and more capable. I was recently reminded of both. In my youth, I was fortunate to take classes from Chuck Taylor, a man with a well-earned...

“If I can’t build a church in their country, why do they have the right to everything here?” — With that cry, the people of Samora Corrêa took to the streets to reject the construction of an Islamic mosque, warning that Islam brings war, persecution, and the destruction of nations wherever it takes root. On Portugal’s national day—a day meant to celebrate the country’s proud heritage and enduring identity—hundreds of brave citizens in Samora Correia, a peaceful town in the Santarém district, took to the streets not with fanfare, but with a clear and defiant message: No to the mosque....

Democrats insist that Republicans and MAGA supporters are Nazis, but cold, hard facts establish that Democrat values and tactics echo that evil movement. Over the past twenty-five years, both sides of the political spectrum have accused the other of being captive to fascism or its offshoot Nazism. With the Democrat party’s unabashed promotion of riots and violence in America’s cities, ostensibly on behalf of criminal illegal immigrants, and rampant antisemitism, it can no longer be denied that the party is captive to the tenets of fascism and its progenitor, Marxism, and utilizes the tactics the Nazi’s employed to seize and...

Last night on Agenda Free TV, Steve Lookner quoted the Fox News reporter, Trey Yingst, as claiming a significant new development about yesterday’s Iran missile attack would be announced in the next few hours. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of to find out what that might have been. I came up empty. Does anyone know what this was about?

On June 12, a BFI Film on Film Festival audience in London sat down for a familiar favorite, but when the opening crawl announced it was taking them to a “galaxy far, far away,” something different happened. Instead of seeing the title “Episode IV: A New Hope,” the crowd was greeted with simply “Star Wars.” The rare print was the original 1977 cut of the space opera, and BFI’s chief executive stressed it was a “miracle” the print was even screenable. On hand for the rare event was Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who made clear to the audience just how...

Over the past twenty-five years, both sides of the political spectrum have accused the other of being captive to fascism or its offshoot Nazism. With the Democrat party’s unabashed promotion of riots and violence in America’s cities, ostensibly on behalf of criminal illegal immigrants, and rampant antisemitism, it can no longer be denied that the party is captive to the tenets of fascism and its progenitor, Marxism, and utilizes the tactics the Nazi’s employed to seize and retain power in perpetuity. While there are a number of inescapable and disturbing ways in the which the Democrat party emulates the Nazis,...

President Trump announced plans to flood Democrat-run cities, namely New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, with new, larger waves of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to bring about the “single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.” Trump highlighted the sweeping change targeting the majority-Democrat cities on Truth Social Sunday night as he praised ICE agents for their “incredible strength, determination, and courage.” “In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,” Trump wrote. “These,...

Focus on the Family has joined a long list of conservative Christian ministries to receive a “hate group” designation by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Specifically, the SPLC has labeled the Colorado Springs-based ministry an “anti-LGBTQ+ hate group” for its “biblical worldview strategy” that opposes same-sex marriage and affirms biological sexual identity. “The organization’s online Daily Citizen demonizes LGBTQ+ people, claiming they are unnatural and un-Christian, and promotes anti-trans pseudoscience, such as conversion therapy that seeks to change their sexual or gender identities of LGBTQ youth,” the SPLC claims on its website. But as the SPLC wrestles with mounting...

Warning to Khamenei On Sunday, Israel targeted the city of Mashhad, located 2,300 kilometers from the Jewish State, for the first time. A diplomatic source in the Middle East told Iran International that the Israeli airstrike on Mashhad was a warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader that he is not safe anywhere in the country. The diplomatic source added that Israel could have eliminated Khamenei on the first night of the operation, but the Israeli government chose to keep him alive to give him a final chance to decide on completely dismantling the Islamic Republic’s uranium enrichment program.

Watch: Iranians tried to launch a missile at Israel - and were eliminated from the air. In a quick turnaround, the Air Force identified and eliminated surface-to-air missile launch operatives seconds before they reached a launcher south of Tehran. The operatives were eliminated and the launcher was destroyed.

The leader of the British government on Sunday announced plans to put authorities with the nation’s top organized crime agency on the so called “grooming gangs scandal,” in which more than 1,000 children were sexually abused over a 16-year period, according to multiple media reports. An inquiry in 2014 found that 1,400 children, primarily white girls from working-class families, in Northern England were subjected to sexual exploitation between 1997 and 2013, Reuters reported. In the inquiry, officials reported that most of the perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage.

“For those people who say they want peace, you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon," said the U.S. president. June 15, 2025. U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed allegations that his support for Israel in its war against Iran was at odds with his “America First” commitment, stating that preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear arms was a top U.S. priority. “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, very simple. Regardless—Israel or not Israel—Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb,” Trump told The Atlantic for an interview published on Saturday

DALLAS (RNS) — For the second year in a row, a move to bar churches with women pastors from the nation’s largest Protestant denomination failed. A proposed amendment to the Southern Baptist Convention’s constitution, which would have kept any church that affirms, appoints or employs a woman “as a pastor of any kind” from belonging to the SBC, got 60.74% of the vote Wednesday (June 11), just shy of the two-thirds majority needed to move forward. A similar proposal failed last year on a second vote. Since 2020, the SBC’s statement of faith has upheld the office of pastor as...

While the Southern Baptist Convention held its annual convention, another Baptist group gathered in the shadows of the event. Baptist Women in Ministry, a national organization dedicated to “advocating for the full affirmation of women in ministry and leadership in Baptist life,” met nearby in a United Methodist church where they criticized motions and amendments trickling out of the meeting. Two of the speakers were Meredith Stone, Executive Director of BWIM and interim teaching pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, (An SBC Church) and Allison Beth Barr, a prominent progressive egalitarian and historian at Baylor University, who we’ve...
