One of the new crop of self-made and self-credentialed online evangelists has flamed out in spectacular fashionJesus, it could be reasonably observed, recruited a motley cast to serve as the first heralds of the gospel. An endlessly squabbling band of fishermen, with a few tax collectors and zealots thrown in, the biblical narratives have them endlessly jockeying among themselves for prominence and status before they, to a man, flee when the going gets tough and their Messiah gets arrested. In the two thousand years since, the Catholic Church has done its best to balance the inevitable imperfections of its messengers...

In a recent clinical trial, a low dose of aspirin reduced the risk of colon and rectal cancer recurrence by half in patients whose tumors carried a specific genetic mutation. Just 160 milligrams of aspirin daily—about half a pill of a standard adult tablet—reduced cancer recurrence by around 60 percent in a certain patient subgroup. These patients carried mutations in the PI3K gene, which affects about a third of all colorectal cancer patients. “Aspirin is a drug that is readily available globally and extremely inexpensive compared to many modern cancer drugs, which is very positive,” lead study author Dr. Anna...

Glenn Beck told a fun story about a recent visit to the White House, where he had a conversation with President Trump about the thinking that went into the new "gilded" Oval Office and the construction of a massive ballroom on the site of the East Wing.

And I know the White House is different, America is different, but they understand power in a different way. They’re coming from these old countries and these big buildings...

"Public News" founder Michael Shellenberger says America has moved beyond the post-war era of intensive globalization in an interview on "Jesse Watters Primetime." Shellenberger said he expects a huge civil war within the Democratic Party between liberals and democratic socialists. "They have no core underlying vision or principle," Shellenberger said about Democrats. "They're really a lost party. I think, again, I just think they're in the midst of an existential crisis that they're -- it is really take a new candidate to get out of, and that candidate is probably going to fail before this party can really figure out...

Shocking revelations from earlier this month out of Chicago should jolt every American out of complacency when it comes to public safety. A commander in the Chicago Police Department ordered officers not to respond to calls for help from federal law-enforcement agents who were under duress, surrounded by vehicles and under threat. This should not be dismissed as just a Chicago problem. It is a real, present warning sign for all of us of how deeply fractured our policing institutions have become. What happened in Chicago is not an isolated incident. Rather, it represents the next inflection point in a...

Antifa terrorists, gang members and rioters are endangering federal officers in American cities.President Trump awarded my friend Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom this month. As a country, we need to honor Charlie’s memory, face some hard facts and take action. Before it’s too late. Charlie’s assassination forced Americans to confront a dark truth: Leftist extremists are waging war on the rule of law, liberty and our way of life. Terrorists, gang members and rioters routinely attack federal law-enforcement officers working to reimpose order after years of chaos under the Biden administration. Our officers have been shot at...

A California Democrat has called on presidential hopefuls in the 2028 race to vow to 'tear down' Donald Trump's $250million golden ballroom 'on day one.' Eric Swalwell demanded fellow Democrats considering running in the next election take a firm stand against the ballroom, which is already under construction and has been funded by private donors. 'Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE,' he wrote on X. Alternatively, he said nominees could consider renaming it to the 'Barack Obama Ballroom' after reports emerged...

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani boasted he was a “proud democratic socialist” Sunday as he arrogantly dismissed congressional Republicans’ threats to revoke his citizenship over his naturalization paperwork. Mamdani, 34, denied being a communist after opponents claimed he lied by not disclosing on his 2018 citizenship forms that he was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Citizenship should mean something, and Zohran is a communist no matter what he calls himself. Mamdani and the DSA lie about what they are: “No matter how many times these Republican Congress members or the president of this country calls me a communist,...
