This is the third press conference regarding the shooting at the Mount Blanc Michigan LDS Church

One of the world’s most infamous actresses attempted to troll Trump supporters on social media, but it blew up in her face when users answered her snarky question with brilliance. “Wicked” star Ariana Grande shared an Instagram post on Sunday trashing the Trump administration’s policies, including immigration, trans issues, and free speech. She then posed a question meant to embarrass the president’s 77 million supporters. The message reads as follows: I want to check in with trump voters. I have one very genuine question: it’s been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said on social media this weekend that she is “not suicidal,” raising the prospect of “heinous actions” in response to her support for a measure that would force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. “I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet,” Greene said Saturday on social platform X, also noting her faith in God. “With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out.”...

PORTLAND, OR — Despite urgent pleas from the public to address the chaos unleashed on the city by radical leftist terrorists, the mayor of Portland downplayed the threat of Antifa and announced that the group that had just lit him on fire was completely under control. Mayor Keith Wilson bristled at media questions about the city's response to President Donald Trump's authorization of military troops being used to restore order to the city, assuring everyone that the fact that he had been set ablaze by Antifa was not an indication of a greater problem. "We don't need help against...

It has been blazingly obvious that the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” which the left has used for over four years now to try to portray Trump as a dangerous would-be dictator and his supporters as violent fascists, was a set-up ever since the videos began circulating of police holding open the Capitol doors as the supposed “insurrectionists” strolled leisurely in. Now, however, it is even clearer that the whole Jan. 6 “insurrection” was an attempt to frame Trump for allegedly trying to overthrow the government, which, if it had worked, would have kept him from running for president again: it has...

In 1917, while Germany fought Russia in a devastating conflict, revolutionary conditions erupted within the Russian Empire, ultimately toppling the Tsarist regime and reshaping the global order. Today, we may be witnessing what I call a “reverse 1917” scenario: As Russia wages a proxy war against NATO in Ukraine, it is the Western nations themselves that appear increasingly susceptible to revolutionary upheaval, while Russia maintains relative internal stability. This observation is not made lightly, nor from any sense of satisfaction. As always, one points out problems so they can be solved, not because one enjoys the trouble they are causing....

Every so often the media rolls its sleeves up and tries to once again get us all to eat gross, filthy bugs instead of delicious, healthy, clean meat. CBS ran this segment over the weekend arguing we should eat bugs because soybean farming is bad for the planet or something 🥴 Sadly, 2025 is no exception, with NPR once again making a bid to have us eat literal larva: In markets in the capital Kinshasa, tubs full of writhing white maggots line the alleyways, and women traders fry caterpillars, spiced with chili, over charcoal fires. "The more you eat caterpillars,...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s flirtation with a presidential run is the latest warning sign of just how far the Democratic Party’s leadership has careened off the rails. After crushing defeats in the latest election, moderate Democrats have failed to take matters into their own hands, continuing to kneel to the strength of the far-left wing of their party who champion socialism, divisive class warfare, and pipe dreams that seem to have come straight out of fairytales. While there haven’t yet been any formal statements from the democratic socialist congresswoman, reports based on individuals familiar with her operations have confirmed that her...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act lawsuit on Monday against pro-Palestine protestors who allegedly targeted a synagogue in New Jersey during a Nov. 2024 demonstration that turned violent. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon believes this is the first time the FACE Act, which the Biden administration used to target pro-life activists, has been used to civilly prosecute an attack on a house of worship. “In recent years, there have been numerous attacks on synagogues throughout the United States,” Dhillon said during a press conference. “Yet there has been a lack of...

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia said on Monday that its military was analysing whether or not the United States would supply Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine for strikes deep into Russia, a step that Russian officials say could trigger a steep escalation.U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that Washington was considering a Ukrainian request to obtain Tomahawks. President Donald Trump has not made a final decision, and he has been wary of escalating the Ukraine war into a direct confrontation with Russia. But the fact he is now weighing such a move shows the extent of his frustration with President...

We’re gonna need a bigger telescope. Scientists have discovered that the 3I/ATLAS — a Manhattan-sized interstellar object that potentially has alien tech — is much larger than previously thought, according to a new report. First discovered by NASA on July 1, the cosmic anomaly has been under watch by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team as it shoots across the solar system. The object, which is believed to be a comet, reportedly has interstellar origins, making it the third ever object from beyond the solar system ever detected after ‘Oumuamua, which was discovered in 2017, and 2I/Borisov in 2019....

True compassion is equipping women to build strong, healthy pregnancies so fewer problems ever arise — not telling them to end the life of their child when challenges appear.When President Donald Trump announced Tylenol can cause autism, leftists suddenly gained compassion for the disabled. This is strange, because usually they advocate killing them.Trump said acetaminophen, the primary active ingredient found in Tylenol, used during pregnancy is linked to autism in a press conference on Sept. 22. He repeatedly urged mothers not to take it unless absolutely necessary.The left responded by defending autism, arguing the disability does not need to be...

The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, housed within the College of Liberal Arts [at the University of Texas-Austin], offers three distinct academic degrees. One is a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. They also offer both a minor and a certificate in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Sexualities (LGBTQ) Studies. Per the syllabus, this class “explores concepts of gender and sexuality, race, class, religion, and nation; as well as skills in theory, history, and research methods relevant to LGBTQ studies.” Following this first classroom session, Richey assigned students readings such as “Queer Theory Revisited,” “Aye, and Gomorrah…,” “Sex...

Amid growing concern over neurodevelopmental disorders, a recent study from Mount Sinai Hospital has reignited the debate surrounding acetaminophen, commonly known as paracetamol or Tylenol. This analgesic, used by over 50% of pregnant women worldwide to relieve pain and fever, maybe linked to an increased risk of autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in their children. The report, published in August 2025 in the journal Environmental Health, analyzed 46 previous studies from international groups. It applied the Navigation Guide methodology, a rigorous framework for evaluating environmental evidence. The findings show a consistent association: prenatal acetaminophen exposure increases the risk...

BURTON, MI -- The gunman who killed at least four worshippers at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township on Sunday unleashed an unprovoked, bitter critique of the Mormon faith just days before the deadly assault. Burton City Council candidate Kris Johns said he met Thomas Jacob Sanford, who police identified as the gunman, while campaigning door to door on East Atherton Road near Center Road on Sept. 22. ((SNIP)) After a few minutes of introductions, Johns said, Sanford steered the conversation directly to the Mormon church and did not turn back, repeatedly telling him...

In this age of modern warfare, the U.K. might already be at war with Russia, according to the former head of Britain's domestic intelligence agency. Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller, who led MI5 from 2002 to 2007, told the Lord Speaker's Corner podcast that Russia's escalating hybrid warfare tactics indicate a sustained campaign of hostility against Britain and its allies, The Times U.K. reported Monday. "Fiona Hill may be right in saying we're already at war with Russia," Manningham-Buller said, referencing the prominent foreign policy expert and Vladimir Putin biographer who was key in testifying against President Donald Trump in the first...

The Brief Students say Northwestern University has blocked enrollment this quarter for some students who have refused antisemitism training. The students argued the training videos were biased in favor of Israel over Palestinians and made claims without citing sources. Northwestern University stated all students are required to complete annual training on discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct, warning that failure to do so can result in registration holds, though students only need to attest to following university policies—not agree with the training content. EVANSTON, Ill. - Some Northwestern University students were not allowed to enroll for classes in the fall quarter...

Nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when fighting monsters, we must take care not to become monsters ourselves. Stare long enough into the abyss, he warned, and the abyss will stare back at you. Since the assassination of conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk in Utah 19 days ago, thousands of leftists have abandoned their humanity altogether by publicly celebrating the murder, thereby forcing many of us to stare into the abyss that engulfs their souls, the depth and darkness of which, hitherto, we could not have fathomed. Now, thanks to an alleged pro-assassination transgender activist, an internet journalist,...

A number of Penn State football fans were seen wearing Charlie Kirk’s “FREEDOM” T-shirts at Saturday night’s game against Oregon. Footage and photos of the students in the shirts went viral across social media. Oregon, which was Kirk’s favorite college football team, went on to win the game in a 30-24 thriller. Oregon defensive back Dylan Thieneman pulled in a game-sealing interception in overtime, ensuring Kirk’s favorite team won in front of thousands of supporters wearing his signature shirt
