US President Donald Trump is set to receive Egypt’s highest state honour, the Order of the Nile, during his visit to the country to attend a Gaza peace summit, the presidential office said on Monday. President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi will award the decoration in recognition of Trump’s "distinguished contributions to supporting peace efforts, defusing conflicts, and most recently, his pivotal role in ending the war in Gaza." The Order of the Nile is a gold collar made up of three square segments featuring pharaonic symbols. It has previously been awarded to Nelson Mandela, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and most...

President Donald Trump on Monday hailed a "new beginning" for the Middle East ahead of his address to the Israeli parliament, as Hamas released all 20 living Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza. Trump arrived in Israel Monday morning to coincide with the exchange of hostages and Palestinian prisoners between Israel and Hamas. "This is my great honor — a great and beautiful day. A new beginning," Trump wrote in a guest book. The 20 living Israeli hostages were released Monday as part of an agreement intended to end the conflict that began with the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by...

An angry Olive Garden waitress throwing breadsticks at customers who stiffed her on a tip is a compelling story, especially if police arrested that waitress for assault. Unlimited breadsticks doesn’t mean unlimited free labor!" she supposedly yelled. Conservatively, this story has been seen more than 5 million times. It comes complete with a mug shot of a pretty blonde woman with watery eyes and a pink face who has clearly been crying. But the entire thing is fake. Everything that is—except for the young woman. Her name is Megan Ashlee . She is a student in College Station, and this...

Trump is the federal government’s chief prosecutor. Disgraced and fired former FBI director Jim Comey is finally facing his day in court for having lied while under oath. Unethical New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on bank fraud charges. Warmonger and former national security advisor John Bolton might soon be indicted for illegally retaining classified documents. Russia Collusion Hoax co-conspirator, anti-American communist, and former director of the CIA John Brennan might similarly find himself in the dock. Notoriously dumb “yes-man,” Russia Collusion Hoax co-conspirator, and former director of national intelligence James Clapper is under criminal investigation. Former...

One hundred years ago - October 13th 1925 - Margaret Hilda Roberts was born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, an English market town in the East Midlands. She was raised in the flat above her father's grocery shop. That's to say, she came from the same class as the ladies out on the streets of Epping and elsewhere protesting the rape of their children and their demographic dispossession in one of the oldest nation-states on earth, and despised by Starmer et al for not getting with the death-by-diversity programme. Young Margaret grew up to become a research chemist, a barrister, and finally...

Democrats shut down the government partly to force Republicans to extend COVID-era boosts in Obamacare subsidies that Dems once called “temporary” but now say are needed to keep the program viable. This reveals what a true disaster Obamacare has been, as its critics warned even as Dems were ramming it into law with not a single Republican vote in 2010. Blindly tossing fresh trillions down that hole is nuts: Time to fix it — or scrap it altogether. The 10-year cost of Dems’ current demand totals almost a half-trillion dollars, to benefit primarily insurers and wealthier Americans. Under the expiration...

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I was raised on the stories, full of fire and pride Said the land was a cancer, and we had to decide From '48 to '67, we gave it our best Yom Kippur in '73 — we failed that test We marched with the slogans, with rage in our eyes "From the river to the sea" — and a world full of lies But the more we attacked them, the stronger they grew So I opened the Qur’an, and guess what I knew? [Chorus] 🎶 I'm a good Muslim, I love Allah And Allah, He loves the...

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) predicted Sunday that former Vice President Kamala Harris could have a “strong” campaign if she decided to run for president again in 2028. Kelly appeared on NBC News’s Meet the Press on Sunday to respond to the rumors that Harris is planning to run again. Host Kristen Welker asked the senator if he thought Harris was “a strong candidate in 2028.” “Absolutely, yeah. I mean, she was the nominee last time,” Kelly said. Harris notably became the candidate after former President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, when every state had already voted in the...

A viral Instagram video shows a pro-Trump supporter using racial slurs to harass a woman during a dispute over a parking spot. The user Madinah recorded the entire incident on her phone while she remained her calm self, dealing with the white man. Wearing a MAGA cap, the man continued to threaten her, turning the encounter into a frightening ordeal. With the video going viral, many people have commented, deeply condemning the situation and, in turn, raising a broader question about what the accepted norms actually are in Trump’s second presidential run. The video starts with Madinah Muhammad, a graduate...

A San Francisco judge is deciding whether to prosecute Troy McAlister, a serial felon who was high on meth when he allegedly struck and killed two women while driving a stolen car. That incident happened in 2020. But 40 hearings, motions, and conferences later, McAlister has yet to stand trial, according to The Voice of San Francisco. In the latest delay, an Oct. 3 hearing originally intended to set a jury trial was instead used as another hearing on McAlister’s behalf: His public defender requested that, rather than face prosecution, McAlister be placed in a drug diversion program, the U.K.’s...

It is a celebration of the human spirit, which conquers the unknown in courageous exploration.Over the past two decades or so, we have witnessed a concerted effort by the woke educational and cultural establishment to reject traditional holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the 4thof July, and rewrite American history as a simplistic horror story of evil imperialist oppression. One of the worst-affected historical episodes in this regard is the European discovery of the New World.Until recently, young children in America were taught to revere Christopher Columbus’s persistence and courage, which ultimately brought Western civilization to the Western hemisphere and...

So it turns out that the Des Moines superintendent Ian Andre Roberts had an even longer rap sheet than previously known. According to the most recent release of records from DHS, Roberts had been violating immigration and firearm laws for close to three decades. Understandably, most people will wonder how such a fraud can find himself at the head of a large urban school district in a state as ruby-red as Iowa. As executive editor Joy Pullman has explained, this is simply the result of a leftist regime systematically taking over the American public education system: “[Roberts is] the inevitable...

President Donald Trump addresses Israel’s Knesset in a historic moment following the groundbreaking Israel–Hamas peace deal. Trump is expected to speak about the first phase of the U.S.-brokered agreement before heading to Egypt to attend a Middle East peace ceremony.

Kennedy, now 89 years old, no longer hears Supreme Court cases. He formally stepped down seven years ago during the first Trump administration. "I loved sitting on the bench," he said. Asked whether he would want to be there today, he replied, "The only reason I left – I love the Court – but I left for something that I love more, which is my wife, Mary." … And as the "swing justice" on the Court, says Greene, Kennedy cast the deciding vote on some of the most consequential political and cultural issues of his era: the 2000 Presidential election,...

India's financial crime-fighting agency is searching seven sites on suspicion of money-laundering by Sresan Pharma, the cough syrup maker linked to the deaths of several children over the last month, a source told Reuters on Monday. At least 19 children died in the central state of Madhya Pradesh after taking the syrup, banned after a test this month showed it contained levels of a toxic chemical, diethylene glycol, that were nearly 500 times the permissible limit. The searches in Chennai, capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu, relate to accusations of money laundering, and include the homes of top...

Virginia’s races for governor and attorney general, newly jarred by a turbulent debate and a texting scandal, have suddenly changed three weeks before Election Day, giving new hope to Republicans.

Winsome Earle-Sears has cut Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger’s lead in half, and Attorney General Jason Miyares, running for reelection, has overcome Democrat Jay Jones’ lead.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy checked in on Trump’s push to secure a seat in heaven after the president rushed to lock down an Israel-Hamas peace deal ahead of the highly anticipated Nobel Prize announcement last week. “I mean, you know, I’m being a little cute,” Trump said. “I don’t think there’s anything [that’s] going to get me in heaven. Okay? I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound.” “I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a...
