“The time has come to confront, without euphemism or delay, the structural failure of aid delivery in Gaza,” Rev. Johnnie Moore, GHF’s executive chairman, wrote. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has urged the United Nations to “publicly condemn the targeting of humanitarian workers in Gaza” and to partner with the group on a new system for getting food “straight to Palestinian families,” according to a letter delivered to UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday. GHF, an Israeli- and US-backed NGO that began operating in May, says it has distributed nearly 40 million meals through “Secure Distribution Sites” that bypass Gaza’s...

Kennedy Jr. left a liberal Democratic congressman who was trying to smear him during a hearing red-faced by exposing a damning flip-flop on his part.As The Hill reported, RFK Jr. testified before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee on Tuesday morning regarding the department’s fiscal 2026 budget request and the Trump administration’s determination to “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.During the hearing, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) tried to slander Kennedy as a conspiracy theorist. He accused the HHS Secretary of advancing a “dangerous pseudoscience” and putting American lives in danger by firing civil servants and eliminating...

The House tabled the measure in a 344-79 vote. 128 Democrats joined with the GOP to block the effort. Fox News reports: Liberals who joined Republicans include all three members of House Democratic leadership – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, R-N.Y., House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., voted to table the measure.

“Muslim Pupils Harrassing ‘Non-Believer’ Classmates in Hamburg,” European Conservative, June 20, 2025: There is a frightening trend in Hamburg’s schools: Muslim pupils are putting pressure on and harassing their non-Muslim classmates. There have been reports of girls being bullied for dressing femininely and not wearing a headscarf; others have been called ‘pig-eaters,’ and are now wary of eating their sandwiches during break between lessons. A father says he felt compelled to enrol his son in a new school because the old school made the mistake of concentrating many Muslim children in one class—with the result being that the few “non-believers”...

This article contains graphic descriptions that may not be suitable for all readers. Parental discretion is advised.RALEIGH, N.C. – Like public libraries across the country, branches in North Carolina’s capital city turn rainbow-hued each June in celebration of Pride Month. Festive book displays featuring “queer-themed” titles written for all ages – from toddlers to teens and adults – are set out for the public as innocently as if the subject in question were cooking, gardening, or personal finance. The colorful Pride books set out by Wake County civil servants are not just a benign celebration of gay dignity, hugging couples,...

A vehicle carrier transporting hundreds of Chinese electric vehicles (EV) sank in the Pacific Ocean after catching fire, fueling renewed concerns about the hazard associated with EV batteries, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. The Morning Midas was carrying approximately 3,000 cars, including around 800 EVs, most of which were manufactured in China, according to the WSJ. While the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, lithium-ion batteries used in many EVs are known to be highly flammable, and have been linked to similar maritime incidents in the past. The ship had been drifting in the ocean after...

A close friendship developed between my grandfather and Fred Trump, so much so, that Mr. Trump allocated land for my grandfather’s synagogue. They maintained their bond for nearly half a century, having been a supporter of the synagogue throughout the years of their friendship. Mr. Trump’s children were well acquainted with their father’s “Rabbi,” as he would call my grandfather...

AIR FORCE ONE - President Donald Trump woke up angry Tuesday morning, if he slept at all, and for good reason. Overnight the Iranian regime broke a ceasefire announced Monday evening by shooting a missile into northern Israel. The move sent the Israelis into an immediate military response, scrambling jets and vowing consequences. Trump had a response of his own.”They don’t know what the f*** they’re doing,” Trump said. But a few hours later aboard Air Force One, Trump cooled down, made some calls, sent out some Truths and talked to the press about what happened. “Have you spoken to...

He gave us the Ayatollah. We’re still trying to clean up his mess.On January 20, 1977, President Jimmy Carter was inaugurated. He was handed a gift, cultivated by the hard work of previous presidents and their administrations. That gift was two pillars of stability for U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East: Israel and Iran.Yes, you read that right. Israel and Iran. The two countries that are currently at war. It will shock younger people to learn that Israel and Iran were once our two top allies in the Middle East, but thus they were. Ask Middle East scholars and...

A preliminary classified U.S. report says the American bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, according to officials familiar with the findings. The early findings conclude that the strikes over the weekend set back Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months, the officials said.

An Iranian army sniper and a suspected terrorist with ties to Hezbollah are among illegal migrants living in the US who have been arrested by ICE since Sunday. Ribvar Karimi, who served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021, was arrested in rural Alabama, where he has been living with his American wife. When ICE agents found in him in the town of Locust Fork Sunday, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card, DHS claimed. Karimi entered the country legally on a K-1 visa, for foreigners engaged to be married to Americans, in October under...

The classic 1975 film put sharks on our radar in a very real wayIt was 50 years ago this month when Jaws premiered and instantly became a blockbuster hit. The film broke box office records and tapped into an underlying fear of sharks and the unknown lurking in the ocean. Moviegoers in 1975 left the theatre thinking they learned a lesson: sharks are out to get humans. The movie is fictional but it's conceivable a great white shark hungry enough would be dangerous around swimmers. Stories about these sharks have existed even before Jaws came out, yet fear has a...

The mainstream media tried to destroy Trump—but in the end, they destroyed themselves. This is the story of anchors who lost their minds, reporters who lost their careers, and a media machine that couldn’t handle President Trump.

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay A University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) scientist has proposed a “three-dimensional time” theory that replaces the traditional model of one dimension of time and three physical dimensions as the primary fabric of everything. Unlike previously proposed, purely mathematical ‘3D time’ constructs where space emerges as a secondary manifestation, Professor Gunther Kletetschka at the UAF Geophysical Institute says his theory of everything, which could unify quantum physics and gravity, is testable and verifiable. “Earlier 3D time proposals were primarily mathematical constructs without these concrete experimental connections,” Professor Kletetschka explained. “My work transforms the concept from...

World leaders either become known for quickly learning life’s lessons–or not. The latter category is largely a product of one’s personal lust for power intertwined with an ideology allowing it to flourish. But membership is at times encouraged by the former’s failure to appropriately discourage the latter’s aggressive behavior early on.Falling into the latter category is Iran’s mullahs. It has taken them nearly a half century to learn an important lesson, coming after testing two U.S. presidents—one weak, one strong—who served in two different centuries. That lesson employs a simple rule of thumb concerning who has a foreign policy backbone:...

In a historic sequence of events, the world went from watching Iranian nuclear sites obliterated, to witnessing Iran's so-called retaliation, to then processing a ceasefire in just over 48 hours.The extraordinary display of U.S. soft and hard power by President Donald Trump should have impact far outside the Middle East, particularly with Russia and China, according to security expert Rebecca Grant. "This is the cornerstone of our deterrence and containment policy. So the success against Iran's air defenses has really strengthened U.S. global military policy and stability around the world, and it should scare China and Russia quite a lot,"...

What's that saying about actions and consequences? Former Biden administration officials should probably freshen up on it because they are about to learn a hard lesson. According to a new report, President Donald Trump has removed any claim of executive privilege regarding ex-Biden officials testifying in the House Oversight Committee probe regarding the former president's senility. Neera Tanden, who now spends her time getting embarrassed by Scott Jennings on CNN, was the subject of a White House counsel letter making it clear that executive privilege claims are "not justified." It goes on to "authorize" Tanden to speak openly and honestly...

Stevie Brocksom is still floored after actor David Tennant, best known for his work in the Doctor Who series, wore one of the trans-positive T-shirts they sent him on a whim. The photo has led to a massive spike in sales of the London, Ont., designer's activist T-shirts which help fund a scholarship for transgender students in Ontario. Brocksom and their graphic designer sell a series of T-shirts with trans-positive messaging on their website, "Stevie Safe Spaces." The T-shirts, which are available in sizes S up to 6XL, have slogans on them like “you can’t erase us,” "protect trans kids"...

Mick Ralphs, the British rock guitarist whose career encompassed both the iconoclastic with eclectic glam rockers Mott the Hoople and iconic with melodic blues-rockers Bad Company, passed away on June 23, 2025, from complications of a debilitating stroke he suffered in 2016. Ralphs was 81. Ralphs first came to public attention with Mott the Hoople. The band, led by Ralphs and lead singer Ian Hunter, amassed a minor cult following between 1969 and 1972, primarily due to their constant touring despite all four albums released during this period flopping badly. Mott the Hoople was on the verge of dissolving when...
