The body of a passenger who died during an international flight to San Francisco, prompting the aircraft to divert to Chicago, is reportedly unaccounted for, according to reporting by SFGATE. Neither airport officials nor a representative for the airline would comment on the circumstances surrounding the death and declined to confirm the passenger’s identity, nationality and gender, the outlet reported. The passenger’s body would presumably then be under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, though Natalia Derevyanny, a spokesperson for the department, told SFGATE that there was no record of the deceased passenger or of any case...

U.S. President Donald Trump will visit the Federal Reserve on Thursday, the White House said, escalating his pressure campaign against Chairman Jerome Powell. This is the first time in nearly two decades that an American president will be making an official trip to the central bank. American presidents have traditionally respected the independence of the Fed, which is insulated both in law and in practice from the political whims of elected officials. Trump’s visit is a remarkable symbolic move on that independence, bringing his drumbeat of criticism over Powell’s refusal to lower interest rates right to the chairman’s doorstep. The...

Megyn Kelly and Matt Taibbi look at the documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that President Trump says implicate President Obama in "treason." MATT TAIBBI: I understand the confusion about this. I don't think that the report as it was released did a particularly good job of explaining what exactly the significance of these documents was. But they were very significant. If you remember before the election, there was a story in The New York Times, for instance, on October 31st, saying, "FBI sees no link between Russia and Trump and the election." This was sort of...

Amid the Watergate scandal, the Senate Committee investigating the incident subpoenaed taped recordings of President Richard Nixon’s White House conversations. On July 23, 1973, Nixon refused to surrender the tapes, kicking off a year-long legal battle. It ended with the Supreme Court ruling that he must hand over 3,700 hours of recordings.

The widow of slain Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the Oct. 7 terror attacks, was reportedly smuggled out Gaza with their kids using fake passports — and has already remarried. Samar Muhammad Abu Zamar managed to slip out of the Palestinian enclave with huge chunks of cash in the early days of the war, Ynet reported Wednesday, citing multiple sources. The Birkin bag-loving widow fled with the couple’s two young sons to Turkey, where she remained in hiding as Israeli forces hunted down her husband, the sources added.

Ten thousand steps works out at roughly five miles or eight kilometers. The precise distance will be different for everyone, varying according to stride length which depends on height, gender and walking speed, with faster walkers tending to take longer strides. The figure of 10,000 steps can be traced back to a 1960s marketing campaign in Japan. In the run-up to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, a brand of pedometer was launched called the manpo-kei, which translates as "10,000-step meter". Dr Ding says this figure was "taken out of context" and became an unofficial guideline, which many fitness trackers and apps...

The founders said our rights come from the Creator. It is He who has endowed us with our rights. Therefore, they stand secure. But what if there were no Creator? What then? Some in our society seem to think that the Creator has somehow been disproved by science, that evolution is a proven fact, that the Scopes Monkey Trial 100 years ago this month helped settle the matter. Case closed.

“You see a doll, I see a baby that I never got to hold,” a woman says in a TikTok video while cradling a lifelike doll — known as a reborn doll — that has the chubby cheeks and sparse, blonde hair of a newborn. Another woman, Christina Keeler, who is married with two daughters, has a social media channel called “The Reborn Family,” with 38,000 subscribers. She gets thousands of views for videos in which she takes out the dolls in public outings. "I was never able to talk about our pregnancy loss until I found reborns," Keeler, who...

Fox News, owned by the anti-Trump Murdoch family, spotlighted an article on Thursday by Ned Price. It was intended to debunk the bombshell reports being dropped by DNI Tulsi Gabbard regarding the Obama regime’s involvement in the Russiagate conspiracy. Price is the former spokesman for Joe Biden’s State Department, a role he took after his career as a CIA officer. Those facts alone should ring alarm bells about the veracity of his op-ed. Many members of the Biden administration have been named in Gabbard’s drops, and while Price is not among them, he has worked closely with them as a...

China has been offloading its US Treasury holdings for years. Once the top holder of US debt, China cut its US Treasury holdings for the third consecutive month this May. Total holdings have fallen to $756.3 billion from $757.2 billion in April, according to the US Treasury, marking the lowest debt held since May 2009. As of 2024, China has reduced its holdings by approximately 30% over a four-year period. China was able to use the exchange rate to buy yuan when the currency depreciated. China seemed to be assisting Trump years ago in lowering the dollar to ease trade...

Earlier today, an Antonov An-24 twin turboprop regional airliner disappeared in southeastern Russia. It has since been found, with local rescue forces locating wreckage from the crashed plane just 10 miles from its intended destination. It is understood at this moment in time that there were just under 50 people onboard the aircraft, with, sadly, none appearing to have survived the crash in the forest. The carrier operating the flight was Angara Airlines, and, unfortunately, this isn't the first time that one of its Antonov An-24 planes has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The aircraft involved in...

“Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary on Tuesday defended President Trump against Stephen Colbert’s criticism following CBS’s announcement that it would end “The Late Show” next year. “Only a moron would tell the president to F off before he gets his check,” O’Leary said during an appearance on CNN’s “NewsNight with Abby Phillip.” Colbert responded to Trump’s celebration of his show’s end on Monday’s episode, after the president said he was glad the comedian was fired and that he has no talent. “How dare you, sir,” he said. “Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism: ‘Go...

Oh, to be a tiny snake basking on a cool silver coin. Image credit: Professor Blair Hedges In what must have been like looking for a needle in a stack of small, wiggly needles, scientists have rediscovered a "lost species" of snake that’s so small, it makes a coin look massive. The Barbados threadsnake (Tetracheilostoma carlae), the smallest snake in the world, was rediscovered under a rock in central Barbados during an ecological survey back in March. The Barbados threadsnake had been lost to science for 20 years, earning it a spot on a global list of 4,800 lost species...

The California Energy Commission (CEC) is reportedly actively seeking buyers to stop the upcoming closure of the Valero refinery in Benicia, California, according to three people familiar with the matter that spoke to Reuters. Democrat officials are now reportedly scrambling to keep the refinery operating in California after enforcing stringent regulations that have helped prompt refineries to close across the state for years. “CEC is engaging with market players to...

The First Punic War began in 264 BC, lasted 25 years, and was fought between the Romans and the Carthaginians, a civilization in what is today modern Tunisia. The Carthaginians were the most powerful and prosperous force in the Western Mediterranean and North Africa, while the Romans were a growing power on the Italian peninsula. After two decades, with both sides financially and demographically exhausted, Rome prevailed. Carthage ceded Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, and paid substantial reparations. The Second Punic War lasted from 218 to 201 BC. This is the war that saw Hannibal attack from the north, taking his...

You might remember Mahmoud Khalil. He was anti-Semitic student at Columbia who SoS Marco Rubio tried to remove from the country as an undesirable. America-hating democrats have chosen him as their cause celebre and have decided he is worthy of beatification. Khalil made the rounds with those America hating left-wing politicians for photo-ops yesterday. I had a productive meeting with Mahmoud Khalil today who was illegally detained by the Trump admin. Students continue to be wrongfully disciplined for exercising their First Amendment rights and protesting a taxpayer-funded genocide in Gaza.Our institutions shouldn’t fuel an… pic.twitter.com/8vl1nj0h49— Rep.
