BOSTON — Monica Cannon-Grant, the founder of the nonprofit Violence in Boston, plans to plead guilty to federal charges of defrauding people who donated to her organization. In a one-page document filed in federal court in Boston on Friday, Canon-Grant requested a change of plea hearing. Cannon-Grant faces a 27-count indictment on charges including wire fraud, mail fraud, making false statements, and filing false tax returns, among other offenses. Federal investigators have alleged that Cannon-Grant, and her husband, Clark Grant, “solicited and received over $1 million in donations and grants from individuals, charitable institutions and other entities.” The indictment alleged...

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a terrorist attack meant to discourage the conservative movement. Even before authorities had suspected sniper Tyler Robinson in custody, we knew it was likely the work of a radicalized mind brainwashed by far-left extremist rhetoric so vile that he thought it was okay to kill someone. Where does this radicalization come from? Follow the money.Conservative Mike Cernovich was correct in his Wednesday X post calling for a congressional investigation into the funding of far-left extremism. Our political climate is not an accident. Provocative leftist ideologies pushed with guerrilla marketing are used to manipulate weak minds. Influence...

Britain will “never surrender” to far-right protesters who use the English flag as cover for violence and to instil fear, Keir Starmer has said, condemning attacks against police officers and racist harassment. The prime minister said the St George’s flag “represents our diverse country” and he would not tolerate people being “intimidated on our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin”. MPs and anti-fascist groups had urged the prime minister to speak up against some of the rhetoric of the largest nationalist protest in decades, organised by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is...

A once-thriving California city has declared 'fiscal distress' after paying $230 million to victims of a former police staffer involved in a sexual abuse scandal - an expense now pushing the city to the brink of financial ruin.

U.S. — Democrats have begun wondering if perhaps they should stop saying the sorts of things that assassins engrave on shell casings for when they murder people. In the wake of yet another shooter engraving liberal messages on ammunition, the Democratic Party considered if maybe that was a bad sign. "Wow, people keep writing things I say on bullets they use to kill people. Should I... should I not be saying those things?" pondered Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. "Could that, just maybe, not be good? It seems a tad concerning." Though somewhat uneasy about seeing their own quotes engraved on...

A New Jersey nurse claims she was suspended for confronting a surgeon who allegedly celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declaring he 'had it coming.' The 31-year-old conservative activist was shot in the neck during a debate with a student about mass shootings on Wednesday, with horrifying footage showing him recoil from the impact before he was later pronounced dead. Lexi Kuenzle, a 33-year-old healthcare worker at Englewood Health, said that the news broke while she stood by the nurse’s station, surrounded by eight other nurses and a patient resting on a stretcher, according to The New York Post. Shocked, Kuenzle exclaimed,...

VIDEOPolitics Girl, like a lot of her fellow leftists, is now reciting utter denialism nonsense about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like many of them, she frames the assassin as a "right-winger" as opposed to the reality that we now know including Antifa type messages on his bullets. Most ridiculous of all, Politics Girl explains away those Antifa messages as having been put there by the company that manufactured those bullets. Yeah... right!

The feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross combines the paschal triduum and Christmas into one big feast. The scene depicted in Exodus demonstrates why humans need salvation. The hymn Paul wrote to the Philippians tells the story of salvation. Jesus' interaction with Nicodemus reveals the mystery of the human vocation.

The September 9 hearing on vaccine safety led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) exposed what many Americans are now beginning to realize: the medical community has arguably been duped into believing that vaccines are unequivocally safe. The hearing, titled “How the Corruption of Science has Impacted Public Perception and Policies Regarding Vaccines,” was led by Johnson’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It followed other hearings conducted by Johnson on the subject of COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 mRNA shots.Three witnesses — physician Dr. Jake Scott, attorney Aaron Siri, and Stanford infectious diseases researcher Dr. Toby Rogers, with Scott defending vaccine research...

A Christian lady recently said to me, I have a problem that you may be able to help me with. If my sins have been forgiven, why do I have to go before the Judgment Seat of Christ? My answer was: Understand that there are several different judgments mentioned in the Bible: the Christian’s sins were judged on the cross, there will be a judgment of the sheep and goat nations, a judgment of the fallen angels, the Great White Throne Judgment of unbelievers, we must judge ourselves, etc. Every Christian must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ to...

Whatever you have going on in your life - you have a Savior who adores you. He loves you. He gave it all for you - personally. There is no problem too big that He cannot fix. We've all been there. My prayers are that you will all reach out to the One who loved you first (1 John 4:19). That you will cast all of your cares to Him (1 Peter 5:7). And that...

Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook described the Atlanta condominium she bought in 2021 as a second home, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and The Washington Post. A filing from May 2021 listed the property's use as a "vacation home" and a December 2021 form she provided to the Biden administration called the condo a second home, the Washington Post reported. She submitted the December document after President Joe Biden nominated her to join the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors. A similar review by The New York Times reaches the same conclusions but...

The man accused of assassinating right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was reportedly living with a transgender partner. The 31-year-old father of two was shot on Wednesday while answering a question about gun violence in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested over the murder. Multiple media outlets in the US on Saturday night claimed Robinson was living with a partner who was ‘transitioning from male to female.’ The partner, who lives with Robinson in a three-bedroom apartment in Utah, is ‘fully co-operating’ with the FBI.

In Iowa, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) criticizes New York members of Congress who haven’t endorsed Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy for NYC Mayor. “That kind of spineless politics is what people are sick of,” he says. “They need to get behind him, and get behind him now.”

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wants the House to form a select committee on “The money, influence, and power behind the radical left’s assault on America and the rule of law.” “In the wake of numerous attacks on our way of life, the destruction of the rule of law, and the murder of innocent Americans, prominent and unknown alike, we must take every step to follow the money and uncover the force behind the NGOs, donors, media, public officials, and all entities driving this coordinated attack,” Roy said Thursday in a press release.

Over 3 million protesters led by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson marched through central London on September 13, 2025, in one of the city’s largest anti-immigration rallies in recent years. Demonstrators waved Union Jacks, St. George’s Crosses, and even American and Israeli flags while chanting against illegal migration and calling for “free speech.” Many wore MAGA hats and carried signs like “Send Them Home,” as police deployed 1,600 officers to keep them apart from around 5,000 counter-protesters under the Stand Up to Racism banner.

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appears to have been a member of a bizarre Steam group named “Read This If Your Gay,” a title that eerily mirrors the mocking inscription “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” which was etched on a bullet casing at the crime scene. Steam is a video game platform that lets you play, discuss, and create games on your computer. The group’s profile featured cartoonish imagery, including anime-style characters, underscoring the meme-driven world in which Robinson and his associates seem to have operated. Incredibly, members of the group were issued a frantic warning...
