Inhalers that provide fast-acting treatment for people with certain respiratory conditions are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, which can worsen both climate change and the conditions themselves, according to new research. In the study, published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found inhalers approved for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, generated an estimated 24.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in the United States from 2014 to 2024. This is equivalent to the emissions of about 530,000 gas-powered cars each year, according to the study. "Scaled across tens of millions of...

BREAKING: Secretary Kristi Noem tells arrested illegal pedophile from Portland that he will be prosecuted and deported to his FACE. The child molester was arrested just one hour ago. Team Trump is NOT messing around here. Watch this:

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) — Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family’s food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.” That, Taher...

The nation of Georgia held local elections last weekend, and anti-E.U. candidates won roughly 80% of the votes. Pro-E.U. rioters immediately attempted to invade the presidential palace and overthrow the government. Militants waved brand-new E.U. flags as they set government buildings on fire. Security services located weapons and explosives hidden away for use during the insurrection. The Georgian government officially accused Brussels of inciting riots and attempting a coup d’état. Needless to say, this story is not getting much attention from corporate news media in the West. When it is addressed, Western sources describe the insurrectionists and saboteurs as “pro-democracy”...

“So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, ‘Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?’ They went out of the city, and were coming to Him” (John 4:28–30). Leaving her jar at the well, the woman hurried back “into the city” and, gathering a crowd, excitedly said to the men, “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done.” A stranger who knew all about her past was no ordinary man. Jesus’ impact...

Daniel Keene did not expect a post on X to derail his life. The small-business owner posted a video of an Indian block party taking over an entire street of his North Texas suburb and expressed his frustration at the rapid demographic and cultural changes sweeping through large swaths of the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. “We have to cancel the H-1Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India," he wrote in the since-deleted post. The post went viral on X, and all hell broke loose. As previously reported by Blaze News, Keene and his family were...

The notification pinged on smartphones across America on Friday, September 19, night. US President Donald Trump had signed a proclamation that would add a staggering $100,000 fee to H1B visa applications, sending shockwaves through the Indian Diaspora that forms the backbone of America's tech industry. For Priya and her husband Rajesh (names changed on request), the news arrived like a digital earthquake in their quiet suburban home. She, on an H4 dependent visa, watched helplessly as her husband -- an H1B holder with three years remaining on his current visa -- absorbed the implications of what seemed like a career-ending...

Washington, D.C., police on Sunday arrested a man with hundreds of explosive devices outside a church holding a Mass in honor of the Supreme Court. The man had a manifesto that suggested he was targeting the Supreme Court and Catholics, according to court papers obtained by The Daily Wire. Louis Geri, a 41-year-old from Arizona and New Jersey, was apprehended outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on October 5, the same day the church held its annual “Red Mass” in which a cardinal prays for the high court as it embarks on a new term, and which is...

Dolly Parton has been facing some “health challenges,” and her sister, Freida Parton, has asked for prayers for the country star. After Dolly Parton postponed her Las Vegas residency in September, her sister Freida took to social media to ask her fans to pray for her. “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me,” Freida...

The number of Indians securing US student visas has witnessed a dramatic plunge, diving by over 44 per cent in August 2025, according to data released on Monday. This marks the steepest drop among all countries and signals a major shift in global student mobility trends, with China now surpassing India as the leading source of US student visas. The International Trade Commission reported that the US issued a total of 313,138 student visas in August — a critical month for university admissions — which reflects a 19.1 per cent decline compared to the previous year.

The cost of Gordon Brown’s decision to sell the nation’s gold on the cheap 25 years ago has ballooned to £35billion. The then-Labour Chancellor sold 395 tonnes of bullion between 1999 and 2002 for a paltry £2.6billion. The gold price has soared since then, hitting a record high of $4,040 an ounce on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump's political muscle in Republican nomination races was on full display Tuesday as a candidate he endorsed last week won a crowded and competitive GOP special election primary for a vacant congressional seat in Tennessee. Trump-backed Matt Van Epps, a former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of General Services, came out on top in a field of 11 Republican candidates vying to fill the seat in the state's solidly red 7th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press. Van Epps will now be the favorite in the Dec. 2 general election in the race to succeed former Republican...

Illegal crossings along the US-Mexico border plummeted to a 55-year low in fiscal year 2025 – with the vast majority of unlawful attempts to enter the country taking place during the final months of the Biden administration. Federal authorities apprehended a total of 237,565 migrants along the southwest border during the period between Oct. 1, 2024 and Sept. 30, 2025, according to data released Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The figure is the lowest fiscal year total for apprehensions since 1970, when authorities caught 201,780 migrants attempting to cross the...

Public data show that the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, under Larry Krasner, may be leveraging violence prevention grants for political capital, raising troubling questions about transparency and accountability, especially surrounding the surge in funding to so-called “violence interrupters.” These groups, composed of faith-based organizations, nonprofits led by former felons, and other community groups that promise to use their roots in the community to intervene in “beefs” before they escalate to violence, gained national traction following the 2020 “defund the police” movement. The evidence shows that the vast majority of the grants to violence interrupters was dispensed outside normal city auditing...
