The rare hybrid offspring of a blue jay and a green jay is likely a result of weather-related shifts in the range of two species.

When Americans consider “charity” they picture their contributions providing clothing for the poor or food for the hungry. When they hear the word “missionary" they picture Christians going abroad to save souls. However, these terms mean very different things to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that President Trump has twice attempted to label as terrorist. In radical Islamist teaching, zakat (charity) is not simply about helping the poor; it is about advancing Islam. The aim is to expand the ummah -- the worldwide Muslim community -- through dawah (proselytizing). Americans are right to be deeply concerned about what is happening...

With a shutdown looming, President Trump has backed Democrats into a corner – And now he’s openly mocking them in their bitter defeat. After their meeting today in the White House, Democrat leaders Minority leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority leader Hakeem Jefferies stopped to whine to liberal reporters. Someone took the video and rewrote the lines with what Schumer really meant to say. And President Trump tweeted this out on his Twitter page! Chuck Schumer: Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans...

As I compiled this message, the month of October was knocking on the door, and we’ll soon be in the midst of it. The older I get, the faster time seems to speed past. Living here in Wisconsin, we value our spring, summer and even our fall months very highly. Because we know January is coming. There’s no stopping it. Today as I write, the weather outside is beautiful. Warm, bright and sunny. The leaves are starting to turn color, but the peak time for viewing the spectacular colors of fall is still a few weeks away. We just had...

Two of the US Senate’s most senior lawmakers are once again teaming up to overhaul America’s high-skilled H-1B and L-1 visa systems, saying companies have turned what was meant to be a tool for innovation into a loophole for outsourcing. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Dick Durbin reintroduced the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act. This latest push comes just weeks after US President Donald Trump signed a sweeping presidential proclamation on H-1B visa applications. Under the new order, companies are now required to pay a one-time fee of $100,000 (around Rs 88 lakh) on every...

Ironically, by labeling Trump’s actions as “revenge”, Mr. Comey unintentionally indicts himself. Last week a Grand Jury indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional hearing. Comey, unsurprisingly, claimed innocence and insisted the charges against him were nothing more than Donald Trump taking “revenge.” Many other Democrats have said the same: Trump is out for revenge! It’s an old refrain. Democrats have been accusing Donald Trump of seeking revenge since he was re-elected. For example, November 6th, 2024, the day after the election, Susan Glasser wrote “Donald Trump’s Revenge” in the New...

Britain’s government is introducing compulsory digital ID cards for all workers by 2029. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that a new free-of-charge “digital ID” will be mandatory to prove the right to work in the UK by the end of this parliament [1]. The digital ID will be stored on smartphones and serve as official identification for employment checks and eventually accessing services [2]. Official aim: curb illegal work and improve services. Starmer argues the digital ID will make it “tougher to work illegally” and thus help secure borders amid public concern over undocumented immigration [3] [4]. Ministers also say...

Random, brute force, or tyrannical violence destroys society. However, a society will also be destroyed if it remains passive in the face of destructive violence. Dave Rubin is a credit to the conservative movement. He is personable, thoughtful, well-informed, and altogether an excellent spokesman for MAGA and the movement as a whole. But he’s not infallible. I was taking a break from working on something else entirely and doing a bit of YouTubing when I came across a new video drop from Rubin, one confronting Ilhan Omar, one of the Democrat party’s many demure, high-minded, and levelheaded females. Omar was...

New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill, who is currently embroiled in a controversy involving a cheating scandal while she studied at the U.S. Naval Academy, is facing questions and accusations of nepotism over her children being admitted to that same academy earlier this year. "I am so proud of all the young men and women from NJ-11 who are reporting to the military academies or academy preparatory programs this summer," Sherrill said in a June press release highlighting 24 students from her district being appointed to various military academies including two of her children, Lincoln and Margaret Hedberg.

In the latest of many, many predictions of the end of the world, the Earth is set to end on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, according to a conspiracy theory going wild on TikTok and X. Every now and then, someone (sometimes, but not always, Isaac Newton) suggests that the world is about to end in some horrifying new way. Without exception (see: you aren't dead) they have all turned out to be nonsense, sometimes to the embarrassment of the "prophet" who suggested it. If you're older than 13, you have already lived through being dinosaured by imaginary planet Niburu several...

“‘He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having...

An asylum seeker caught messaging what he believed to be a 14-year-old girl has avoided prison after claiming 'I didn't know I was doing anything wrong'. Fahad Al Enaze, 31, from Kuwait, sent a number of sexual messages to paedophile hunters posing as an underage girl, The Sun reported. Al Enaze, who reportedly lives in a Liverpool migrant hotel, was apprehended by members of the Widnes Parents Against Predators group in September 2024.

American President Donald Trump's decision to finally impose a massive 100% tariff — import duty or tax — on movies made outside the US comes as another major blow to India, which has been facing his wrath, with blips of bonhomie, for the past three months and more. -snip- The Indian diaspora in the US spends around $100 million a year to watch Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Punjabi, Bengali and other Indian language movies released in the US country, according to the Producers Guild of India. Indians are about 1.6% of the total US population, with other South Asians also...
