According to a statement released by The University of South Florida (USF), a new study has upended previous assumptions about when horses first arrived on the island of Sicily. Until recently, archaeologists had thought that the animals were not present there until the early first millennium b.c. New research led by USF archaeological scientist Davide Tanasi indicates that not only did horses live there at least 1,000 years earlier, they were also an integral part of Early Bronze Age Sicilian ceremonies. The evidence comes from a site near Polizzello Mountain where Tanasi and his colleagues recovered a large assemblage of...

SAN ANTONIO - A first responder with the Comal County ESD 3 has been let go after posting a statement against the late conservative personality Charlie Kirk. According to Comal County ESD No. 3, the emergency services district completed an investigation into Canyon Lake Fire/EMS Employee Danielle Meyers related to "inappropriate social media activity."

A California man who plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh also wanted to kill at least two other conservative justices in a bid to preserve Roe v. Wade. New court filings revealed this week are spotlighting the violent extremism that gripped abortion activists in the chaotic lead-up to the landmark Dobbs decision. Nicholas John Roske, 28, of Simi Valley, California, faces 30 years to life in prison for attempted murder of a U.S. official in his bid to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh. Roske was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s Chevy Chase, Maryland, home on June 8, 2022, where he was found...

GoFundMe has terminated pro-Charlie Kirk fundraisers. Presumably, however, not only will they not allow peaceful pro-Charlie Kirk fundraisers, but they actively support violence against Charlie Kirk memorials. Two sisters destroyed a memorial to the assassinated Kirk as they launched expletives at those who mourned. One was fired for her violence and hate toward mourners for a victim of assassination.

A Planned Parenthood facility in Delavan, Wisconsin, has permanently closed its doors, marking a significant moment for pro-life advocates in the state. The closure, effective July 31, was confirmed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, a group dedicated to protecting life from conception. Dan Miller, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, announced the closure in a blog post, stating, “Planned Parenthood in Delavan is closed! Yes! It is true! Planned Parenthood in Delavan is CLOSED!” Miller noted that Google Maps lists the facility as permanently closed, and during a visit on September 8, he observed signs posted inside the glass door and office window...

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH/Gray News) - A Kansas Department of Education employee who commented “well deserved” on a social media post referencing the murder of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk is no longer with the state agency. The Manhattan Mercury confirmed Katie Allen’s status of being fired from the Kansas Department of Education on Tuesday. She also serves on the USD 383 Manhattan-Ogden school board. The post appeared to show a photo of Kirk’s wife draped over his open casket. The post included an apparent quote from Kirk, which said, “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some...

Texas was stunned earlier this year when authorities arrested Maria Rojas, who ran an underground abortion clinic. On March 5, Rojas was arrested and is now charged with 15 felonies: 12 for practicing medicine without a license and three for performing illegal abortions. For years, Rojas operated three facilities in Houston. She allegedly tricked women into believing she was a licensed physician when in reality she only had a midwife’s license. Reports say she handed out abortion pills as if she were a doctor, and even went to New Mexico to perform an illegal abortion. Rojas denied everything, but a...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was booed multiple times at the 2025 Ryder Cup on Long Island Wednesday – and even a joke from talk show host Carson Daly couldn’t quell the jeers. Golf fans attending the opening ceremony ahead of the US’s matchup against Europe unleashed on the Democratic leader as she walked on stage at the Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, according to social media footage. “You’re the worst,” one attendee shouted. Daly, who brought Hochul out, tried to quiet the crowd by joking she isn’t NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, but it didn’t help much, according to the...

From Ohio to Illinois, the ACLJ is standing on the front lines defending the constitutional rights of pro-life advocates against government overreach. We now have a new case defending pro-life rights from assault by the state. In a troubling case out of Maine, we are representing John Andrade Jr., a Maine resident whose sincere religious expression outside a Planned Parenthood facility has made him the target of an unconstitutional lawsuit brought against him by the state of Maine. We filed a major brief Thursday on his behalf, defending his constitutional rights against the state’s motion for an injunction. The State’s...

No one is buying Jimmy Kimmel's crocodile tears dancrenshawtx: Jimmy Kimmel tried—and failed—to gaslight the country. He tried to score political points by lying about the death of an innocent father, then blamed his own audience for “misinterpreting” his words. Crocodile tears if I’ve ever seen them. As for TMZ? I saw their newsroom’s reaction. Cheering, laughing, and celebrating like it was a touchdown—over someone’s death. Don’t insult our intelligence by claiming it was a car chase. Nobody’s buying that. And “cancel culture?” No. Cancel culture is the unreasonable deplatforming or firing of someone expressing beliefs well within social norms...

A former high school administrator in California raped a 17-year-old student on campus, impregnated her and then begged her on a wiretapped phone call to abort the child, warning that keeping the baby would “ruin” his and his children’s lives. That’s the details of a lawsuit filed this week against the shuttered Contra Costa School of Performing Arts and its accused employee. The civil suit, brought by the student — identified as Jane Doe — and her mother, Janice Doe, in Contra Costa County Superior Court, accuses Gerard Michael Flaherty, 43, of using his position as the school’s climate and...

A newborn girl, dubbed the “Miracle Angel” by her rescuers, was pulled crying from a pile of trash in a North Austin dumpster Saturday afternoon. Her survival is a testament to the unyielding will to live that pro-life advocates say underscores the humanity of every baby — and the moral imperative to choose protection over peril. The infant, her umbilical cord still attached, signaling a birth mere hours earlier, was discovered around 1:37 p.m. in the 8600 block of North Lamar Boulevard, according to the Austin Police Department. Neighbors, alerted by her faint but fierce cries echoing some 40 to...

The Department of War will ask President Donald Trump for final approval to execute the Fort Cavazoz shooter, Nidal Hasan, a DOW official told the Daily Caller News Foundation exclusively. The execution, if approved by Trump, would be the first carried out by the military since 1961. Hasan, a former Army Major and psychiatrist turned radical Islamic terrorist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others during his notorious rampage on the Army base in 2009. “I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan,” Hegseth exclusively told the DCNF. “This savage terrorist deserves...

Hillary Clinton hit out at white Christian men just two weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination. The former first lady found fault with Christian conservatism during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe Wednesday, saying she disapproved of the ideology because it promotes division. The movement has picked up momentum thanks to people like Kirk, whose evangelical faith shaped his politics. He was killed earlier this month while speaking at a college campus in southern Utah. Clinton began by telling hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski: 'You know, I love my country, and I love it, you know - warts and all....

Sara Jane Moore, the would-be assassin of President Gerald Ford, died Wednesday at a nursing facility in Franklin. She was 95. Moore’s death came two days after the 50th anniversary of her attempt to kill Ford outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco in 1975. Her actions followed Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme’s attempt to assassinate Ford just 17 days earlier in Sacramento. The two events were unconnected. Moore was sentenced to life in prison. She attempted to escape in 1979, but was captured after a few hours. She was released on parole in 2007. In 2022, she moved to Bellevue...
