The conservative legal group, Article III Project, is filing a judicial complaint against a federal judiciary panel of mostly Democrat-appointed judges after they decided not to extend Alina Habba’s term as President Trump’s interim New Jersey US attorney. “House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries corruptly gave 17 New Jersey U.S. district judges their marching orders: ‘Fire New Jersey U.S. Attorney @AlinaHabba,’ “wrote Article III Project president Mike Davis on X following the panel’s decision. “And these New Jersey activist judges—15 of whom were appointed by Obama and Biden—saluted,” Davis continued. “This violated Canons 2, 3, and 5 of the Code of...

President Donald Trump took steps on Thursday to end the massive takeover of crime and homelessness on the streets after Democrat leaders in Blue states have failed to do anything to make our streets safer. During a signing at the White House, President Trump signed the "ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA'S STREETS" Executive Order, which aims to restore "public order" to cities and remove homeless individuals from the streets by enforcing no urban camping, urban squatting, and loitering, among others. "The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single night during the last...

Aerobic exercise and a high capacity for exercise may protect against metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), also known as fatty liver disease, by increasing the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids, according to a new study. MASLD is a chronic condition in which excessive fat is stored in the liver. This new study offers insights: Researchers propose that exercise prevents or reduces fatty liver, in part, by improving bile acid metabolism. The most prominent way cholesterol is removed from the body is by its conversion to bile acids, which aid the digestion of fat and trigger signals that improve...

The View has abruptly gone on hiatus following co-host Joy Behar’s latest unhinged anti-Trump rant, a tirade so inflammatory that it prompted a warning from the White House. After years of pushing partisan narratives and ridiculing conservative voices, the show may finally be facing real consequences for its unchecked rhetoric. The break comes amid mounting calls for media accountability and a renewed effort by the Trump administration to rein in platforms that use their airtime to smear political opponents under the guise of daytime entertainment. On Thursday, Behar appeared to reveal the show's upcoming hiatus accidentally. "Before we go on...

France will recognise a Palestinian state in September at the United Nations General Assembly, President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday (Jul 24), a move aimed at reviving momentum for a two-state solution but one that drew immediate condemnation from Israel. In a letter addressed to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and posted on social media, Macron confirmed France’s decision and said it would encourage others to follow. "True to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine," Macron said. "I will make this solemn...

Stingrays are a delicacy enjoyed by most — and it seems nature agrees. That appears to be the case, after a monitor lizard was seen making a hearty meal of a stingray at MacRitchie Reservoir on Sunday (July 20), according to an Instagram post by Navaraj Rajendran later that day. "Sambal stingray!" Navaraj exclaimed in his post. "Hope I didn't use up all my luck chancing upon this big water monitor enjoying a huge stingray." Although Navaraj said he didn't have his camera with him, the veterinary student still managed to snap a few shots, presumably with his phone, adding...

Kamala Harris is still stumbling through the political wilderness after her billion-dollar presidential flameout. With her 2028 White House ambitions rapidly evaporating, the focus is shifting to whether she'll attempt a run for governor of California. But one man who knows her better than most is already throwing cold water on that idea. Willie Brown, her former mentor, lover, and a fixture in California Democratic politics for decades, has publicly cast doubt on his former side piece's ability to win even in deep-blue California. That kind of warning from a party kingmaker isn't just personal; it's a red flag for...

A motley crew of media and others, from Politifact to the CATO Institute, have claimed that illegal aliens have a lower crime rate than native-born Americans do. In a recent interview, prodigal presidential son Hunter Biden went even further. He claimed that white males are 45 times as likely to commit violent crimes as immigrants are. Why, even Grok artificial intelligence, in a contentious Monday thread, claimed that white men are bigger perps than illegals. The whole idea here, obviously, is to sanitize illegal migration. “These ‘undocumented’ enrich the country,” is the implied argument. “They’re safer to have around than...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) used in conjunction with corticosteroids aids outcomes for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), according to a study. Bang-Yan Zhang, M.D. and colleagues evaluated the efficacy of HBOT as an adjunct to corticosteroids in the treatment of SSNHL. The analysis included 128 patients diagnosed with unilateral SSNHL who received corticosteroids and HBOT. Hearing gains were evaluated using audiometric testing both before and after treatment. The researchers found that 72.7% of patients experienced significant hearing improvement. Early initiation of HBOT within 12.5 days of onset was associated with better hearing outcomes. Results of multivariate analysis and sensitivity testing...

Archaeologists from the Brno City Museum have made a rare and precious discovery in South Moravia: a 3,200-year-old fragment of bronze armor dating back to the Late Bronze Age. The find, excavated at a confidential location in 2023, includes not only a fragment of a warrior's breastplate but also a spearhead, a sickle, a bronze pin, and copper fragments -- all of which had been buried together in what researchers believe was a ritual deposit.The fragment originally appeared to be a folded piece of metal, but under closer examination, it was revealed to be a fragment of body armor. "Thanks...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday submitted a new bill that would restore the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies in an effort to defuse tensions following his approval earlier this week of a controversial law that weakened their autonomy. The previous bill was seen as undermining the agencies’ independence and sparked a public outcry and protests, the first major demonstrations since the war began, as well as sharp criticism from the European Union. Zelenskyy said parliament would review the new bill, which “guarantees real strengthening of Ukraine’s law enforcement system, the independence of anti-corruption bodies, and reliable protection of the legal...

On Thursday, Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) introduced a resolution calling for the federal and state courts to release all available documents related to the Epstein files. Only redactions would be made to protect innocent victims. As TGP readers know, the Department of Justice has requested that grand jury records related to Epstein be unsealed. An Obama judge is currently demanding more information before permitting the release, however. One would think the Democrats would jump on this Mullin’s proposal, especially considering rumors that Trump is named in the files. But here’s what happened when Mullin officially introduced the resolution. “I ask...

JUST NOW: Mazie Hirono BLASTS Jeanine Pirro: “She is a Fox News media personality. She does not have the professional qualifications or the prosecutorial ethics to serve as a US Attorney for DC. In fact, she seems to have no concept of ethics at all.”

🚨 WATCH: Candace Owens just poured gasoline on the Macron lawsuit, straight-up telling Brigitte, “You were born a man and you’ll die a man… See you in court.” She’s pledging to fight “on behalf of the entire world,” daring the French First Family to drag this into discovery.

Daily use of diversified segmental defocus optimization (DSDO) spectacle lenses delays the onset of myopia among children, according to a study. Yuchang Lu, M.D. and colleagues evaluated the efficacy of DSDO spectacle lenses with or without 0.01% atropine for myopia prevention. The analysis included children (aged 5 to 12 years) who were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive DSDO spectacles with placebo eye drops (DSDO group; 121 individuals), DSDO spectacles with 0.01% atropine eye drops (DSDOA group; 125 individuals), or single-vision spectacles with placebo eye drops (control group; 124 individuals). The researchers found that the one-year cumulative incidence rates of myopia...

A new international study led by researchers at McMaster University has identified the most effective and safest treatments for people suffering from chronic urticaria, more commonly known as chronic hives. Published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology on July 15, 2025, the study is the first comprehensive network meta-analysis to compare more than 40 treatment options for chronic hives, a condition that affects about 1% of people and can severely impact quality of life, sleep, and productivity. The study examined 93 randomized controlled trials involving over 11,000 participants. Prior to now, patients and clinicians had to consult a...
