    Last month was the third-warmest September on record globally, behind 2024 and 2023, according to new data analyzed by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The planet’s average surface air temperature was around 61 degrees Fahrenheit. While global air and sea surface temperatures are currently falling short of new record highs, climate scientists warn the pause in record-breaking warmth is unlikely to persist as human-caused greenhouse gas emissions continue to drive the long-term warming trend.

    Ignore the Left-wing naysayers, Israel is winning this necessary war.By Richard Kemp. The Telegraph. May 30, 2025 — And Israel has had unparalleled success. They have killed something like 20-25,000 Hamas terrorists, including many senior commanders.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/30/ignore-the-naysayers-israel-is-winning-this-necessary-war/[Ambassador of Israel 🇮🇱 to India 🇮🇳 & Non-resident Ambassador to Bhutan 🇧🇹 & Sri Lanka 🇱🇰].🇮🇱 Reuven Azar @ReuvenAzar:What is shameful is your deceit.

    Two years after Hamas’s attack on southern Israel, anti-Semitic violence seems to be on the rise throughout the West. On Yom Kippur, a man drove a car into a crowd outside a synagogue in Manchester, England, then got out and stabbed members of the congregation before he was also killed. On June 2 in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national threw Molotov cocktails at protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages, killing one of them. Such incidents have grown more frequent as the Israeli military’s deadly operation in Gaza grinds on.

    Washington — Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked an effort aimed at preventing continued U.S. strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats off the coast of Venezuela. Democrats forced a vote on the issue under the War Powers Act. In a 48-51 vote, the effort failed to garner enough support to move forward. The resolution, led by Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Tim Kaine of Virginia, would have blocked the U.S. military from engaging in hostilities with "any non-state organization engaged in the promotion, trafficking, and distribution of illegal drugs and other related activities" without congressional authorization. ...

    On May 21, Black author Dr. La’Tonya Rease Miles appeared at a book talk to promote her new memoir, “Smart Girl: A First-Gen Origin Story.” Attendees gathered at the quaint James M. Duncan Branch Library in Alexandria, Virginia, hoping to get their books signed and to hear Miles’ inspiring story of being the first in her family to attend and graduate from a four-year university. Instead, they got an earful from a belligerent Trump supporter who crashed the reading. “This is not Nazi Germany! I don’t need to do anything. Stop telling me what to do,” shouted the older white...

    A county in California wine country is beefing up its vaccine recommendations and instituting a mask mandate, citing "greater risk" of contracting COVID-19 amid the start of the annual flu season. The Sonoma County Department of Public Health's Interim Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith issued an order Monday requiring anyone entering certain healthcare facilities in the county to wear a mask. Facilities subject to the order include skilled nursing facilities, portions of long-term care facilities where nursing care is provided, acute and non-acute rehabilitation facilities, infusion centers, and dialysis centers, according to the order. "The rationale behind this order is...

    Between 200 and 300 people participated in a demonstration in downtown Boston on Tuesday night after what began as a pro-Palestinian protest quickly turned into a riot. In total, 13 people were arrested after police say people in the group became violent toward police officers. The agitators also blocked an intersection, according to police.

    Hamas has agreed to a peace deal pushed by President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages, two years after the terrorist network attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking not only the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust, but a deadly war and a humanitarian crisis across the Gaza Strip. Trump took to Truth Social Wednesday to make the announcement: "I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very...

    “Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, ‘Rabbi, eat.’ But He said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you do not know about.’ So the disciples were saying to one another, ‘No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?’ Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work’” (John 4:31–34). The disciples’ primary concern at this point had been food. That’s why they urged Jesus to eat. Jesus, however, had a higher priority, as His reply to them makes clear: “I have food to eat...

    California’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter ruthlessly excoriated a staffer during a discussion on environmental policy for the Biden administration, shocking resurfaced video shows. The former Congresswoman seamlessly switched from a professional tone while discussing electric vehicles with then-Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm to an angry and rude lambasting of a staffer who innocently popped into frame, Politico first reported. “Get out of my f–king shot,” the short-tempered Porter screamed at her surgical mask-wearing staffer, the clip showed. The female employee then interjected with a correction to a statement made by the then-congresswoman —- but Porter refused to back-down from...

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue. “My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.” “I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years...

    Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) brought his trademark wit to Fox Business on Tuesday, offering his unique take on how the ongoing government shutdown led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is likely to end. Kennedy, who has a new book out titled How to Test for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will , didn’t hold back when discussing the Schumer Shutdown with host Larry Kudlow. “They want $1.5 trillion to open government back up, Larry,” Kennedy said, referring to Schumer’s demands. “And that’ll happen when donkeys fly backwards. We’re not gonna give in.” Kennedy explained that the shutdown is purely...

    Contrary to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claim, most of the Obamacare subsidies are not expiring, for good or for ill.Into the debate on extending the Biden administration’s Covid subsidies for health coverage stepped Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. In an X post Monday evening, Greene claimed that “when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.” She went on to repeat the claim that premiums would “DOUBLE” — with all caps in the original — two other times in...

    In addition to calling on Jay Jones to drop out, Democrats should also end the nonsense of a months-long ‘election season.’The scandal whereby Jay Jones, the Democrat nominee in the Virginia attorney general race, sent graphic text messages describing his desire to assassinate a political opponent says much about our current political culture. Beyond how some describe “violent” policies to justify violent actions against their adversaries, it also reflects the practical realities of the way states administer elections.The candidates at the top of Virginia’s Democrat ticket, gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger and lieutenant governor nominee Ghazala Hashmi, have, as of this...

    Democrats won't listen to Harvard. Maybe they'll listen to the New York Times?This entire year, Democrats from Los Angeles to Chicago to Portland to Boston have gone all-in against increased immigration enforcement. They have ginned up violent activists to attack ICE agents serving judicial warrants to deport known criminal illegal aliens. The elite cognoscenti have cast Donald Trump as Hitler and federal agents as brownshirts for enforcing the law -- and they have expected to get the American electorate behind them as a result of their hysteria. Nine months into the process, voters refuse to budge. A new poll from...
