This mailman thought he'd be eating good for quite some time, but then he got pulled over. The stolen checks were in the mailman's lunchbox. A Knox County patrol deputy conducted a traffic stop along Clinton Highway on the afternoon of October 5 and detected an odor of marijuana, according to a sheriff's office spokesperson. The front seat passenger, identified as Dontray Ligon, stated that the car belonged to him and allowed deputies to search it. Two large lunchboxes containing check-related mail that investigators believe to be stolen were found during the search. The sheriff's office spokesperson said Wednesday that...

Last week, Townhall exposed how Qatar is spending billions of dollars to indoctrinate students at Western colleges and universities while also funding Islamic terrorism across the globe.In addition to fomenting anti-Western, pro-Hamas sentiment on college campuses and funding terrorism, Qatar also wages an information war in the media and online. By using outlets like Al Jazeera and The New York Times, as well as Facebook parent company Meta, Qatar seeks to manipulate algorithms and influence our political process.Qatar and JournalismQatar started Al Jazeera, the Muslim world's biggest outlet, in 1996 with a $150 million grant from the Qatari Emir.

I'm in Washington D.C. with about 200 farmers lobbying against the Food Security and Farm Protection Act (aka EATS Act in the Senate) or the Save Our Bacon Act (SOB in the House). This legislative effort at the federal level seeks to overturn California Prop 12 from seven years ago and Massachusetts Question 3. These two states went beyond what 11 states have done in outlawing gestation crates in hog factories. Sows lives in these crates all their lives. They can only stand up and sit; they can't walk or turn around. While 11 states have outlawed this protocol, California...

The classic Downfall bunker meme gets a 2025 twist. Silver has smashed through $50, the short-side generals are panicking, and their trusted market-rigging AI — COMEX-GPT — starts glitching and twitching. Watch the mayhem unfold as the paper shorts crumble and the physical market takes control.

President Donald Trump announced plans in September to impose a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, a move that could pose a challenge to companies, particularly in the technology sector, that rely heavily on highly skilled foreign workers. -snip- "If you're going to train somebody, you're going to train one of the recent graduates from one of the great universities across our land. Train Americans. Stop bringing in people to take our jobs," said Lutnick. Meanwhile, critics of the fee hikes say the move could stifle innovation by restricting the flow of overseas talent to the United States. "If...

State Rep. Steve Toth (R-Conroe) officially launched his primary challenge to incumbent Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX-02) to a cheering crowd of several hundred supporters at a church in The Woodlands… …Toth, who has served in the Texas House since 2019, highlighted accomplishments in the Texas Legislature, including his 2021 bill to ban teaching of critical race theory in schools and the 2023 ban on gender modification procedures for children. Continuing to hit Crenshaw on his record, Toth criticized the incumbent over financial support for Ukraine and “siding with every single Democrat in Congress to prioritize foreign wars over our border.”...

An Indian man living in the United States has gone viral for his candid take on the new H1B visa rule and how it pushed him to rethink his definition of “home” and “success.” In a video shared on Instagram, the man said, “I actually think this new H1B visa rule is an amazing thing for people like me.” He explained that he decided to move back to India about a year ago and was grappling with doubts about his decision, until the recent change in visa policy gave him “clarity.” “About a year ago, I made the decision to...

Federal regulators are investigating nearly 3 million Teslas following reports of crashes linked to the automaker’s self-driving technology. The US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Thursday it was focusing on incidents in which Teslas failed to stop at red lights or drove on the wrong side of the road — sometimes slamming into other vehicles and causing injuries. It’s the latest effort from regulators to scrutinize Elon Musk’s electric car maker, which has faced federal probes for over three years. This time, the NHTSA says it is focusing on 58 cases that resulted in 14 crashes and 23...

When the guardians become the hunted, and the protectors need protection, you know a city has crossed the line from civilization into something darker. That line isn’t just being approached in Chicago; it’s been obliterated, leaving federal agents to fend for themselves in what should be American streets, not war zones. The very people sworn to uphold the law are being abandoned by those who claim to represent justice. President Trump’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago didn’t come from nowhere. The reality on the ground tells a different story—one where federal law enforcement officers are being systematically...

Technological advances may turn back aging, extending the average life span by at least a decade.A recent study out of Stanford University found that the human body doesn’t age gradually at an equal rate over time. Instead the body undergoes major biological shifts—in other words, aging—at roughly ages 44 and 60. Having just crossed that second milestone with a first skin cancer diagnosis and two back surgeries to show for it this year, I can confirm that aging doesn’t creep. It pounces.For generations, we’ve accepted this decline as inevitable. But that assumption may no longer hold true. Science fiction is...

The EU’s plan to watch what you spend.and modernization. But, much like the Chinese model that seems to inspire ECB President Christine Lagarde, what is at stake is not just technology: it is the risk of turning a payment instrument into a mechanism of control over every citizen’s transactions. Across the Atlantic, the United States took the opposite path: it legalized stablecoins and banned a centralized digital dollar, strengthening freedom and competition instead of state control.On September 26, the European Central Bank announced what had long been anticipated: it will conduct new experiments on what can be achieved with the...

After US President Donald Trump enhanced the application fee for H-1B visas to $1,00,000, many American firms have started advertising technical jobs exclusively for US citizens. Roles such as software developers, process engineers, project managers, and UI/UX designers, once largely filled by H-1B visa holders, are now being listed with a clear note: “Open to US citizens only.” Industry experts said that the new fee has made hiring foreign talent “financially unviable” for most companies, especially small and mid-sized ones. The move, which came into effect last month, is imposed on companies hiring new H-1B applicants. The $1,00,000-fee caused widespread...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him…’” Luke 11:5–6Unless your friend were truly a very close friend, you may hesitate in waking them and their family at midnight to ask to borrow some food. And even if it were a very close friend, you would probably hesitate for fear of disturbing them. But in this parable,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning development that experts said could change the course of geopolitics for the foreseeable future, Hitler announced a historic agreement that would bring lasting peace to Israel. While historians were shocked to see that the man who was long thought to be the epitome of hatred toward the Jewish people had successfully brokered a peace treaty to usher in peace for the war-torn region of the Middle East, they had no choice but to acknowledge the positive impact Hitler was now having on Israel's fortunes. "Saving and protecting Jewish people is what Hitler is all...
