    A 21-year-old Indian man-- an illegal immigrant in the US-- has been accused of causing a fiery semi-truck crash that killed three people in Southern California. The man, identified as Jashanpreet Singh, was arrested on charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated after smashing his big rig into slow-moving traffic on a San Bernardino County freeway, according to US news reports. Singh reportedly crossed the southern US border in 2022. He had his first encounter with Border Patrol agents in California's El Centro Sector in March 2022, but was released into the interior of the country by the Biden administration...

    Acrowd of thousands gathered in downtown Washington, D.C., Saturday as part of the nationwide anti-Trump 'No Kings' rallies with a long list of White House actions they were protesting against: mass deportations of undocumented immigrants; National Guard deployments in Democratic-controlled cities ostensibly to combat crime; the looming expiration of Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, which is the main cause of the ongoing government shutdown. But Saturday’s event also was an opportunity for dozens of participating federal employees, many of whom have lost their jobs and seen their years of experience be discarded, to come together. “Connecting in person with...

    Thousands of Central New Yorkers may soon have to find new doctors. CNY Family Care on Brittonfield Parkway said it will stop accepting United Healthcare commercial and United Medical Resources, better known as UMR, insurance plans starting next year. CNY Family Care sent out a letter to patients with United Healthcare and UMR insurance plans notifying them that, as of January 1, 2026, the practice will no longer accept those plans. “I’m nine months pregnant, three weeks away from my due date, and I was like, oh no, what are we going to do,” said Samantha Pericho of Central Square....
  • 'H-1B visa system spammed with fraud': White House backs Trump's fee hike

    Business Standard India ^ | 10/24/2025 | Surbhi Gloria Singh
    The White House has thrown its weight behind Donald Trump’s controversial decision to raise the H-1B visa fee to $100,000, saying the move is intended to protect American workers and curb “fraud” in the system. In a media briefing on Thursday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration stood firmly by the president’s policy. “The administration will fight these lawsuits in court. The president's main priority has always been to put American workers first and to strengthen our visa system. For far too long, the H-1B visa system has been spammed with fraud, and that's driven down American wages,” said...

    Earlier this month, a body known as GAFCON — the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans — declared it was “now the Global Anglican Communion.” In the Oct. 16 declaration, entitled “The future has arrived,” the alliance of conservative Anglican church leaders said it had resolved to “reorder” the Anglican Communion, the world’s third-largest Christian communion after the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodoxy. “Today, GAFCON is leading the Global Anglican Communion,” said the statement signed by Rwandan Archbishop Laurent Mbanda, chairman of GAFCON’s Primates’ Council. “As has been the case from the very beginning, we have not left the Anglican Communion;...

    The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, the second-highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England, acknowledged the pain the decision would cause. “We believe we have done the right thing,” he said, citing legal and theological guidance, “but we know it will be difficult and disappointing for some.” The Church of England has once again found itself caught between the demands of doctrine and the pressures of a changing world. In mid-October, its bishops voted to suspend a long-anticipated plan that would have tested separate blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples — a move hailed by traditionalists and lamented by reformers. The...
  • DOJ tells California officials to back off ‘apparent criminal conspiracy’ to arrest ICE agents: ‘Stand down or face prosecution’ (includes Pelosi)

    The Justice Department on Thursday warned California officials, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), against engaging in an “apparent criminal conspiracy” to arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued the letter to Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins after the former House speaker suggested Wednesday that local police could arrest ICE agents if they violate state laws while carrying out immigration enforcement operations. “Rather than supporting and working with federal law enforcement professionals, California politicians, including U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco District Attorney...

    “‘You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light’” (John 5:33–35). The purpose of John the Baptist’s ministry was to prepare the nation for the Messiah (1:23), and to point Him out when He came (1:31). John’s testimony supported Jesus’ claims to be the Messiah. Since he was generally regarded as a prophet (Matt....

    A Palestinian mother living in Canada has blasted 'white people' for erecting Halloween decorations of dismembered limbs she says reminded relatives of the horrors of Gaza. Samar Alkhdour, 40, arrived in Quebec as an asylum seeker in 2019. Her sister, who has two young children, relocated from Gaza earlier this year. Alkhdour, a self-proclaimed human rights activist, is very vocal on social media about Palestinian causes. Her 13-year-old daughter died in Palestine and much of her family remains there today. In a recent post, the activist launched a profane rant in which she criticized her neighbors for displaying gory Halloween...

    Left-wing comedian Rosie O’Donnell got more than she bargained for when Instagram users flooded her post calling for an economic boycott of the U.S., calling the boycott out of touch with the reality of working Americans. The former The View co-host posted her call to boycott America on Wednesday with a meme demanding a “Mass Blackout” and promising to launch “The largest economic blackout protest in U.S. history.” O’Donnell’s post calls for workers to refuse to go to work, for people to stay home and not attend any sort of event, and for people to stay away from all restaurants....

    Not content with dominating the music scene, Taylor Swift is apparently now taking on the art world, with hundreds of her fans making the pilgrimage to a German museum to catch a glimpse of a certain painting. Earlier this month, the Grammy winner released the music video for her latest single The Fate Of Ophelia, the opening shot of which seems to have been inspired by artist Friedrich Heyser’s painting depicting the iconic Shakespearean character. Heyser’s painting now lives in Museum Wiesbaden in Germany, and dedicated Swifties have been paying it a visit in their droves much to the surprise...

    In another big and bold move from the new Paramount regime following the Skydance merger, the studio is in final negotiations to board Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, with Johnny Depp set to star and Ti West on board to direct.
