Passengers at airports in Pennsylvania and British Columbia were stunned Tuesday when loudspeakers suddenly blasted pro-Hamas messages and slurs against President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Videos posted by travelers showed the unauthorized recordings echoing through terminals at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and Kelowna International Airport in Canada. Screens at Kelowna also flashed messages praising Hamas and calling for “Free Palestine,” according to officials and witnesses. Airport authorities said the digital break-ins targeted both public address systems and flight information displays — a form of cyber-vandalism that disrupted boarding and startled passengers but caused no flight safety...

Only one thing could be more revolting than the leftist freaks infesting Portland: namely, those same freaks with no clothes on. As forewarned, Naked Bike Ride was deployed against federal officers defending civilization on Sunday. The scene was not pretty (WARNING: do not click for video). The Left has bred whole armies of exhibitionist moonbats to wage war against public order. Check out the turnout for their die-in blocking Portland’s Burnside Bridge: At first I thought someone had finally applied a giant can of Raid. Meanwhile, judicial moonbats continue to block Trump from deploying the National Guard to clean up...

Jose Soto-Escalera, 49, was convicted in 2018 for the murders of 23-year-old Tania Wise and their unborn son.

Nancy Pelosi unleashed on a female MAGA reporter outside the US Capitol Wednesday as the 85-year-old California Democrat was being helped down the stairs by an aide. The former House Speaker snapped back at Alison Steinberg after the LindellTV reporter confronted her over the accusation that she turned away the National Guard during the January 6 Capitol riot. Steinberg asked Pelosi why she 'refused the National Guard.' 'Shut up!' she demanded. 'I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it.' She then turned her attention to Steinberg herself, asking: 'Why are you coming here with Republican talking...

Editor’s note. We are continuing to post new and old stories celebrating families with children with Down syndrome as a part of October’s Down Syndrome Awareness Month. When Courtney Baker posted a letter to her former doctor on the Parker Myles Facebook page, I don’t suspect she anticipated thousands and thousands and thousands of responses. Her letter, written more in sadness than anger, was to the physician who delivered the news that Emersyn, Baker’s unborn daughter, had Down syndrome–and counseled her to abort. Good Morning America’s Genevieve Shaw Brown says that Baker told her she knew “how important it was...

“He answered them, ‘My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.’ For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God” (John 5:17–18). The Sabbath observance was at the heart of Jewish worship in Jesus’ day. The Lord’s reply to those who persecuted Him for violating it (5:16), “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working,” implies that the Sabbath was not instituted for God’s benefit but for man’s...

Such a move, however, would mark a significant win for Trump and potentially increase momentum for a peace agreement. resident Donald Trump on Wednesday stated that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally told him that his country would no longer purchase Russian oil. Trump has pressured India and China to stop doing business with Russia in a bid to shut down its economy and force an end to the Ukraine War. "He assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia," Trump said. "It's a big stop. Now, I've gotta get China to do the same." The...

The land I reside on, where I sit as I write these words, has a long history of human habitation, going back to the most recent major glaciation. Before Europeans came to Alaska, this general area, the Susitna Valley, was occupied by one subgroup or another of the Dena'ina linguistic grouping of the Athabascan people. The area started being settled by people of European descent in the late 19th century, when gold was discovered in the area (gold is a really powerful draw, it turns out). At some point, the land on which I reside was taken up under the...

For most of us, we look back on our younger years, whether they were spent as college students, broke twenty-somethings, or something else, usually fondly. It's that time period where you leave home to get your foot in the door of life and learn how to support yourself, not just financially, but in many other ways as well. But we still carry some of that old high school baggage of just wanting to be "cool" and fit in with our friends, for whom many of us become our second family. But as our lives evolve, so do the things we...

A new volume represents a very timely reprint of St. George Mivart’s provocatively titled On the Genesis of Species (New York: Appleton, 1871). The general editor of the Inkwell Press, James Barham, announces in his introduction that further forgotten classics in the same genre will presently follow. The text presents the second edition (slightly revised to take account of Darwin’s Descent of Man published earlier in the same year).Mivart (1827-1900) throughout his life remained something of a thorn in Darwin’s side, joining sides with Harvard professor Asa Gray, geologist Sir Charles Lyell, Alfred Russel Wallace, and many others who argued...
