This story isn’t complicated. A teenage girl in Fairfax County became pregnant, her guardian told the school, and days later she was bleeding and terrified—no one from the school had called, no consent was sought, and the guardian learned she was no longer pregnant only when doctors in the ER told him. FCPS insists it ran a “comprehensive investigation,” but this newly surfaced recording proves they either never found or never wanted to find the truth. It obliterates the official narrative that whistleblower Zenaida Perez fabricated evidence and shows exactly what the district tried to bury: a frightened minor, a...

The U.S. Supreme Court announced today it would not hear a case that could have given a final decision over who can access millions of acres of public land in the West. The justices provided no reasoning for declining to hear the case. This means an issue that has roiled the public-land hunting community for years is, at least for now, settled in part of the West. Corner crossing remains legal in Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah — states covered by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals — said the hunters’ attorney, Ryan Semerad. However, corner crossing...

Philadelphia’s George Soros-backed District Attorney Larry Krasner is facing mounting backlash after a repeat offender — previously released on low bail and freed when Krasner’s office dropped kidnapping and assault charges — was charged in the disappearance of Miss USA hopeful Kada Scott, 23, whose remains were found over the weekend. At a tense Friday news conference, Krasner blamed "systemic issues" for the suspect’s earlier release on bail — a defense that drew immediate rebuke from victims’ advocates and court officials, who accused the DA of dodging responsibility. Prosecutors have now filed additional charges against 21-year-old Keon King, escalating the...

President Donald Trump’s working lunch with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday turned acrimonious when the US leader insisted Ukraine make territorial concessions to Russia to end the war, according to European officials briefed on the meeting. Trump, who would later endorse a freeze in current battle lines as part of a peace settlement, grew frustrated and raised his voice multiple times, the officials said.

Last month, after meeting Zelensky...

GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa ripped foe Andrew Cuomo and the Dem Party on Saturday when asked whether he’s playing spoiler in the race — saying they’re the only ones to blame if Zohran Mamdani wins. “Now [Cuomo’s] saying, `I can’t win without Sliwa votes.’ Where are your votes?!” Sliwa said on YouTube’s “The Nate Friedman Show.” The rise of the lefty Democratic Socialist Mamdani “is the result of Democrats’ self-destruction,” Sliwa said. “Who created Zohran Mamdani?” he said. “So I’m supposed to help them?

Lawyers for former FBI Director James Comey are asking a federal judge to dismiss the criminal case against him, arguing prosecutors repeatedly violated the Constitution and engaged in "flagrant misconduct" when securing their indictment of Comey at the direct orders of President Donald Trump.

But that is exactly what happened here," said one of two motions filed by Comey's attorneys Monday. "President Trump ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute Mr....

The Israeli army believes that Hamas has reestablished its hold over Gaza's governing institutions since the cease-fire went into effect on October 10.
