Thousands of protesters and strikers calling for solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza took to the streets in Italy on Monday, with some storming Milan’s central train station and clashing violently with police. Italy’s grassroots unions, which represent hundreds of thousands of people ranging from schoolteachers to metalworkers, called for a 24-hour general strike in both public and private sectors, including public transportation, trains, schools and ports. The strike caused disruptions across the country, with long delays for national trains and limited public transport in major cities, including Rome. In Milan, tensions escalated when dozens of protesters dressed in black and...

My X account has been suspended for breaking X rules supposedly as being a fake account. I have been on X since it was Twitter, since 2012. I have appealed it asking what I was being suspended for (I had not seen their email to me yet telling me they did it because broke their rules by setting up a fake account) but afterwards my husband looked up my name to see if they really did that and he discovered there is someone on X using my username. He reported this person as a fake account but when it asked...

Here is Jimmy Kimmel doing his show during the Covid quarantine gloating over Trump being banned from social media outlets. Trump Booted from Twitter & Maybe the Presidency

The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Trump to remove a Federal Trade Commission commissioner and agreed to resolve long-standing constitutional questions about White House authority over independent agencies. In an unsigned emergency order, the justices said they would permit the dismissal of Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter while the case proceeds. They also agreed to hear arguments in December, signaling that the Court is prepared to revisit—and possibly overturn—a 1935 ruling that limited presidential authority over the FTC and similar commissions. Trump had removed Ms. Slaughter, a Democratic commissioner, earlier this year, contending that the statutory protections...

The US economy is absolutely screaming. Late rent payments and loan delinquencies are skyrocketing, and the top 10 percent of earners account for nearly half of all consumer spending. In early September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation added over 900,000 fewer jobs than previously thought from March 2024 to 2025. Yet, as bad as things might feel for common folk, financial markets have never looked better — the tech-dominated Nasdaq continues to reach record highs, and the country’s GDP has grown by more than 50 percent since 2020. The catch here is that this growth is...

It’s always problematic when a relativist claims to be the sole source of truth. ChatGPT defines relativism as: “Relativism is a philosophical stance suggesting that truths, values, or knowledge are not absolute but are instead relative to a specific cultural framework, historical context, or individual perspective.” Trust me, no one makes it clearer that his “truth” is based on a particular, secular, cultural framework, distorted historical context, and above all a twisted individual perspective on life than the current cultural pontificator, Barack Obama. After Charlie Kirk’s brutal assassination, Barry hung up his paddleboard to post this on X:We don’t yet...

European allies have vowed to shoot down any Russian aircraft violating their airspace after Nato members accused Moscow of repeated incursions into the alliance’s territory in recent weeks. “If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down and the wreckage falls on Nato territory, please don’t come here to whine about it,” Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, told an emergency meeting of the UN security council in New York on Monday that was called to discuss a Russian airspace incursion over Estonia. His warning was echoed by Poland’s prime minister, Donald...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the “radical left” is “hijacking” the Democratic Party, pointing particularly to bathroom gender policies in schools. “We’re losing mainstream Democrats because of the radical left,” Adams told PIX11 News Monday morning. “It has really hijacked not only the narrative, but hijacked our party.” Sitting next to First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro, Adams doubled down on his call last week to change the city’s school bathroom gender policy, insinuating it was a key reason for this political split. “Little boys should not be sharing bathroom showers with little girls,” Adams said. “I don’t have...

Sinclair Broadcast Group on Monday evening announced they won’t broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliate stations after ABC caved. Earlier Monday, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would be returning to the airwaves just six days after suspending him for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month. Jimmy Kimmel lied to millions of people and claimed Kirk was assassinated by a MAGA conservative. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as...

Plans for a second runway at Gatwick have been approved by the government, making it the latest in a string of planned UK airport expansions to receive support. The Gatwick decision could lead to an extra 100,000 flights per year. If Heathrow gets permission to build a third runway - which the government has said it backs - that could mean another 276,000 flights a year, with approval for an expansion of Luton airport also potentially adding tens of thousands. If such large expansions are to take place while meeting the target of becoming net zero by 2050, big reductions...

The Café Grumpy owner apologized and said employee's actions violated company policyA New Jersey man says he was denied service and insulted by a barista at a New York City coffee shop after walking in wearing a MAGA hat on the morning of Sept. 11. Anthony Pullis, 31, stopped at New York City coffee chain Café Grumpy in the Financial District on his way to the 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero. He wore a red "Make America Great Again" hat, along with a photo of his late father, Edward Pullis, pinned to his shirt pocket. His father worked in...

An Orange County, California, high school student said he was suspended after his “Make America Great Again” hat was stolen, sparking a political argument with another student. Laguna Beach High School student Zach Hornstein told Fox News Digital that he and several friends wore MAGA hats on Sept. 11 to honor Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder who was shot and killed during a speaking event at a Utah college campus the day before. His death really affected us,” Hornstein said. “I may not agree with everything he says, but I appreciate that he encourages students to think critically,...

Fears are mounting that an ancient Biblical event where countless Christians disappear from Earth is just hours away. Believers on social media platforms like TikTok have reached the point of hysteria over this prophecy, expressing their excitement for the end of days and even offering tips on how to handle being lifted into the sky to meet their maker. The phenomenon, dubbed RaptureTok, has exploded in recent weeks after faith leaders started pushing the idea that the Rapture will begin on September 23, marking the Second Coming of Jesus and Judgment Day for non-believers. Although the Bible never set a...

I used to wince when publicists sent me faith-based films or TV to preview. Almost always, the genre’s reputation—cheaply made, cheesy, preachy—proved well deserved. But in recent years, the genre’s quality has vastly improved. I’m increasingly delighted to praise quality offerings—not because they’re not awful but because they’re genuinely praiseworthy. Jon Erwin (I Can Only Imagine) has been part of an emerging renaissance of faith-based film and TV. It’s a welcome trend that also includes his brother Andrew, Jon Gunn (Jesus Revolution), and Dallas Jenkins (The Chosen). Still, when I heard that Erwin’s new Wonder Project studio was kicking off...

The high court will also hear arguments about overturning a 90-year-old precedent that allowed Congress to create independent agencies.The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to fire the sole remaining Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission, the latest victory in his aggressive push to exert greater control over the federal bureaucracy. The justices overturned a lower-court injunction that reinstated Rebecca Slaughter to her position with the agency that oversees antitrust and consumer protection issues while litigation over her removal works its way through the courts. The ruling — while provisional — is significant because the...
