Don’t let the dog hit you on the way out! An Egyptian man trying to smuggle over 100 pounds of food through Dulles Airport punted a CBP beagle into the air when the pup sniffed out the scam, resulting in the creep’s deportation, the agency announced. Customs and Border Protection Brigader Beagle Freddie, 5, caught the whiff of something suspicious coming from the luggage of Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, 70, who arrived at the Washington, DC, airport from Cairo on Tuesday, CBP said in a release. As the detector dog alerted his handlers to Marie’s bags, the 70-year-old violently...

Democrats in New York’s battleground suburbs are distancing themselves from New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani and his lefty socialist policies. Long Island members of Congress appeared particularly concerned about Republicans attempting to link them to Mamdani — the Democratic candidate for mayor — in the 2026 midterm elections. “We are not socialists,” Rep. Laura Gillen, who represents Nassau County’s 4th District, said in an interview Wednesday night on News Nation. “[Mamdani] ran a campaign based on a bunch of promises — free everything — without any real economic plan to pay for it, other than raising taxes,” she...

We believe that Jesus awaits us in the Holy Eucharist reserved in the tabernacle. This is a continuation of John Chapter 6: "…Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day." … "Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard; and who can hear it?" … "After this, many of his disciples...

The IDF publishes a summary of Operation Rising Lion, ... According to the report, for months leading up to the operation, Military Intelligence gathered evidence that Iran was rapidly enriching uranium to 60% - a level sufficient to produce several nuclear bombs in a short time.

A family is fighting to get their daughter with Down syndrome the health care she needs, as the Canadian health care system pressures them to end her life. Key Takeaways: * Doctors have suggested Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID); in response, Veya’s mother is now trying to obtain the necessary medical records to take Veya to Chicago in the United States for lifesaving health care. * Veya has been denied a living donor liver transplant despite all of her care teams believing she is a good candidate; her family has been given little reasoning — and flimsy reasoning, at that...

Most people are inclined to shoo flies away from food, and the thought of maggots in your bins is enough to make anyone's stomach turn. But a handful of city councils have embraced maggots - more formally known as fly larvae - and their taste for rotting food. In Vilnius, capital of the Baltic state of Lithuania, fly larvae have officially been given the job of processing the 2,700 tonnes of food waste the city's 607,000 residents put out for collection each year, alongside that of the six neighbouring councils. Energesman, the waste management company that began relieving Vilnius of...

On Thursday, the Supreme Court greenlit South Carolina’s efforts to remove abortion providers, such as Planned Parenthood, from the state’s Medicaid reimbursement program. Naturally, MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera Reports freaked out over the decision, with Law Prof. Leah Litman warning the move could lead to a rise in cancer. Cabrera put the ball on the tee when she asked, “So, Leah, what do you see as the ramifications of this decision?” Litman began by painting a gloomy scene, “I think the practical implications of this decision are going to be momentous. I mean, Medicaid serves as an important, you know, source...

Kennedy Jr. called out inaccuracies in an article by The Guardian on the use of thimerosal, an adjuvant containing mercury in flu vaccines.

A police officer who confronted Marcus Monzo after he murdered schoolboy Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword in Hainault, east London, last year says he does not see himself as a hero. Inspector Moloy Campbell engaged in face-to-face fighting with Monzo - receiving a slash wound to his hand as he tried to disarm him. But he said his team of officers are "undoubtedly heroic" for their actions in stopping the attack. Recalling the confrontation in April 2024, Insp Campbell told the BBC: "It's a natural instinct: fight or flight, and in that moment it was fight. There was emotion...

Dozens of members of Congress have warned that the most common method of abortion in America may not just kill unborn babies and harm their mothers, it may also pollute America’s drinking water with forever chemicals that could impact declining fertility levels. Some 25 congressional Republicans signed a letter calling on the Trump administration to determine whether the abortion pill mifepristone has an environmental impact on the U.S. water system. “[M]ifepristone is a potent progesterone blocker that disrupts hormonal balance in pregnant women to induce abortion. This raises questions about the drug’s potential endocrine-disrupting effects when present in drinking water...

A new bill introduced in Congress aims to prevent abortionists from flushing aborted baby parts in public water systems, a practice pro-life advocates call a “depraved disregard for the sanctity of life.” The Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act, introduced Wednesday by Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, and Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., seeks to ensure that aborted babies are treated with dignity and not flushed into sewers like medical waste. The legislation comes in response to growing concerns about the environmental and ethical implications of chemical abortions, which account for roughly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. According to a...

The offices of Rep. Kat Cammack, a Florida Republican and vocal pro-life advocate, were evacuated Wednesday after receiving what she described as “imminent death threats” from pro-abortion activists. The threats followed a Wall Street Journal article detailing Cammack’s life-threatening experience with an ectopic pregnancy, which she said was mishandled due to fearmongering by pro-abortion groups. Cammack, co-chair of the House Pro-Life Caucus, shared in the article that in May 2024 she faced delays in receiving emergency treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, where the baby implants in the fallopian tube and usually will die. She attributed the hesitation of medical staff...

The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that South Carolina has the right to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The pro-life state wants to be able to block taxpayer funding for the abortion business under Medicaid, but the abortion company sued to block that action. Today, the Supreme Court ruled South Carolina has the power to block funding. In the decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court said Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The high court’s ruling means that the state can direct Medicaid funding—funds intended to help low-income...

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and revoke the U.S. citizenship of radical socialist and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, citing credible concerns that he may have obtained citizenship under false pretenses — including sympathies for convicted terrorists. “Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” Rep. Ogles wrote on X. “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.” According to the letter sent by Ogles to the Department of Justice,...
