One week after King Charles III initiated the formal process to remove the style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew, his brother's name was notably missing from the royal website. Buckingham Palace confirmed the former prince will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, in a statement published Oct. 30. "His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence," according to the statement. "Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation." Prince Andrew's biography was removed from the royal website after King...

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a White House press briefing that the declining U.S. fertility rate is a "national security threat" and warned it is not high enough to ensure the American population remains stable. Kennedy was speaking to the press after President Donald Trump announced his administration had struck a new deal to reduce the costs of fertility medication. "Secretary Kennedy is sounding the alarm on a public health issue others are too timid, or too politically cautious, to confront," a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson told Newsweek.

Archaeologists from Bournemouth University have uncovered the remains of a teenage girl buried face down in a pit in Dorset, southern England—an extraordinary discovery that may point to one of Britain’s earliest recorded cases of human sacrifice. The burial, dated to around 2,000 years ago, sheds new light on the ritual practices of the Iron Age Durotriges tribe, who inhabited the region long before the Roman conquest.The skeleton, discovered during ongoing excavations at an Iron Age settlement, was found without grave goods and in a position that deviates sharply from normal burial customs of the time. Researchers believe her hands...

Comey expected to work for 'President-elect Clinton,' knew top aide was talking to media: emails Emails referenced in a bombshell court filing by acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in which the government rejected Comey's argument that he was being maliciously prosecuted for providing false statements and obstructing Congress about actions he took as FBI director. Federal prosecutors revealed Monday they have unearthed a trove of personal emails showing then-FBI Director James Comey openly talked in the days before the 2016 election that he expected to be working soon for President-elect Hillary Clinton and was being kept apprised by a top...

The BBC misled viewers by doctoring a video of President Donald Trump to make it appear he was encouraging the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a whistleblower memo viewed by the Telegraph. The corporation aired the video during a Panorama program titled "Trump: A Second Chance," which was broadcast a week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The spliced-together version made it seem as though Trump said: "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be with you, and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not gonna have...

🚨 Wikipedia's Shameful Anti-Israel Bias: Founder Jimmy Wales Sounds the Alarm! 🚨Jimmy Wales Blasts "Gaza Genocide" Hoax Article as "Egregious" Violation of NeutralityWikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has courageously exposed the blatant anti-Israel propaganda masquerading as "fact" on Wikipedia. In a powerful personal statement, Wales condemned the absurdly titled "Gaza Genocide[sic]" article for shamelessly declaring—in Wikipedia's own voice—that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. This is nothing but a vicious blood libel, a highly contested lie pushed by Hamas sympathizers and Israel-haters!The article's lead brazenly states: “the Gaza genocide[sic] is the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in...

Moroccan cardinal says Church must ‘abandon’ idea of ‘true religion, false religion’Cardinal Romero's scandalous remarks echo comments made by Pope Leo XIV during an October sermon he delivered in St. Peter's Basilica. In an essay that appeared on the Vatican’s official news website last week, Moroccan Cardinal Cristóbal López Romero, SDB, repeated a scandalous claim first made by Pope Leo XIV last week that implies the Catholic religion does not possess the fullness of truth.“Religions, for their part, have the responsibility to offer paths of meaning and truth, not of domination,” Romero suggested. “No religion can appropriate the truth, as...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

Justin Baldoni suffered a massive blow in his legal war with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The “It Ends With Us” director’s $400 million defamation countersuit against the couple was formally ended by Judge Lewis J. Liman after Baldoni, 41, declined to file an amended complaint, according to court documents obtained by The Post.

The judge said he had issued an order on Oct. 17 to warn them that he was considering entering...

Mother Miriam speaks out about her concern over Pope Leo’s apparent support for the LGBTQ agenda, highlighting a recent Mass at the Vatican held for a gay pilgrimage led by Father James Martin. She reflects on how such actions and endorsements conflict with the Church’s consistent teaching on marriage, sexuality, and the sanctity of life. Drawing directly from Scripture, Mother Miriam explains what the Bible says about homosexuality and emphasizes the importance of repentance, chastity, and living in accordance with God’s plan for human sexuality. With her characteristic courage and pastoral heart, she calls on Catholics to remain steadfast in...

For Maggie Aragon, a New Mexico woman who’s relied on federal food assistance for more than 30 years, the moment her SNAP balance dropped to zero was life-altering, she says. “When I heard, ‘Zero dollars,’ my chest went into my throat,” Aragon told KOAT 7 News, describing the fear and panic that set in when she discovered her benefits had been cut off due to the ongoing Democrat-led government shutdown. “It’s detrimental to my life.” Aragon, who said she also depends on local food banks to survive, is one of tens of thousands of New Mexicans now facing uncertainty as...

President Trump made his most overt endorsement yet of Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race — saying that New Yorkers “must vote for” the disgraced former governor to defeat “Communist” Zohran Mamdani. Trump, 79, said in his election-eve appeal that his hometown would become an “Economic and Social Disaster” if the Democratic nominee triumphs on Tuesday, as polling indicates is likely. “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first...

Thanks to the Schumer Shutdown and the Democratic Party's refusal to pass a clean Continuing Resolution, Americans are starting to feel the pain at America's airports. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is also sounding the alarm on this, saying the delays are due to staff shortages. "Many controllers are not coming to work because they have to find a job that will pay them," Duffy wrote in a post on X. In a scathing press release, the White House blamed Democrats for the delays (emphasis original): Americans are paying the price for Democrats’ sick political games as air travel grinds...

Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani released an Arabic-language campaign ad on social media ahead of Tuesday’s election. In the video, Mr. Mamdani introduces himself and says he may look “your brother-in-law from Damascus,” but that his “Arabic needs some work.” He goes on to say, “Still, I would love to ask for your support on November 4. Life in New York has become expensive for all.” He then stops to pet a bodega cat and promises to freeze rent for over two million city residents, make buses free and fast, and deliver universal child care to all families in his efforts...
