Megyn Kelly is joined by Matt Walsh, host of "The Matt Walsh Show," to talk about the implications of Zohran Mamdani becoming NYC mayor, the rise of the progressive Muslim socialist, the shocking layout of the ballot that seems to favor Mamdani, and more. (Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) We've got to start with Mamdani, and this guy who's closely linked with radical Islamists like this imam who testified for the blind sheikh who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. Mamdani with his arms literally around that guy calling him a pillar of the community,...

A groundbreaking new biography of Æthelstan marks 1,100 years since his coronation in 925AD, reasserts his right to be called the first king of England, explains why he isn't better known and highlights his many overlooked achievements. The book's author, Professor David Woodman, is campaigning for greater public recognition of Æthelstan's creation of England in 927AD.The Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the signing of Magna Carta in 1215 are two of the most famous years in English history. But very few people know what happened in 925 or 927AD. Professor David Woodman, the University of Cambridge-based author of The...

Sir Sadiq Khan has praised Zohran Mamdani’s “fun” and “authentic” campaign and said he is looking forward to seeing the result of the New York mayoral election, which the Democratic candidate is expected to win. The mayor of London appeared to come close to endorsing Mamdani, 34, as New Yorkers headed to the polls. Reflecting on the parallels between himself and Mamdani, Khan said the self-described democratic socialist was “reaching” parts of New York that had been “underserved”. “I’ve seen from afar the campaign that Zohran Mamdani has run. He appears to be having fun,” Khan told Bloomberg at the...

The Fox News Decision Desk has projected that New York City will elect Democratic Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor. The self-described democratic socialist toppled former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a contentious fight for the future of New York City — and possibly the direction of the Democratic Party. Mamdani, the 34-year-old Ugandan-born state assemblyman from Queens, triggered a political earthquake when he declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary in June, pulling an upset over a former governor who was widely expected to win the party's nomination. He has since been catapulted onto the national stage,...

BBC News reports that more than 100 projectiles were recovered during an investigation of an unstudied area of Scotland's Culloden Battlefield. Fought on April 16, 1746, the Battle of Culloden marked Britain's final defeat of the Jacobite army led by Charles Edward Stuart, who was also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. Stuart had attempted to place his father, who was the son of the Roman Catholic James II, on the British throne. Yet James II had been deposed in 1688 and his line excluded from English succession under the Act of Settlement of 1701. At the time of the battle,...

According to a Georgia Today report, a chainmail shirt and a helmet dated to the ninth or tenth century a.d. have been unearthed at the site of a medieval palace within Rustavi Fortress. Located in southeastern Georgia, the fortress was constructed in the fourth or fifth century A.D., and destroyed during the invasion of the Mongols in the thirteenth century. The helmet is thought to be the only combat helmet from the period to be discovered in the South Caucasus. To read about another discovery from Georgia, go to "Around the World: Georgia."

The Ohio Education Department offers tomorrow’s education today — assuming that in the future, demographic displacement will lead to America’s conquest by Islam: Young children at a non-public charter school sanctioned by the Ohio Department of Education are taught to memorize sections of the Quran. … The Islamic Center of Mason Learning Academy boasts on its website that it is “officially affiliated with the State of Ohio Department of Education.” To ensure indoctrination takes hold, start it at a young age: The entity has 38 students in preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade for the current school year.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger is projected to be elected Virginia’s first female governor Tuesday, defeating pro-life Republican Winsome Earle-Sears in a contest that pro-life advocates warned could transform the state into the “abortion capital of the South.” With exit polling data and early precincts reporting, the abortion activist is projected to become Virginia’s next governor and the first woman to hold the state’s highest office, according to Decision Desk HQ. With 9% of the vote counted, Spanberger had a 56.7-43.4% lead over her pro-life challenger. During the race, pro-life groups accused Spanberger of supporting “unlimited abortions up to birth” and sidestepping...

If billionaire-backed “Islamo-socialist” Mamdani can’t crush it after showering voters with freebies, then even a win is really a loss. Because when you’ve got unlimited money, media cover, and populist giveaways on your side, anything short of a landslide exposes weakness—not strength. It proves the hype doesn’t match the grassroots.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., joined NBC News’ Hallie Jackson and Kristen Welker to discuss the run for mayor in New York City. Sanders said a lot of Zohran Mamdani’s ideas are “not radical” but called the income and wealth inequality in the U.S. “radical.”

A cure for baldness could be on the horizon. Researchers from Taiwan University say they have discovered a serum that could potentially regrow hair in just 20 days. The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, showed that fat cells under the skin can restart hair growth. The researchers used mouse skin samples to monitor changes to the fat tissue under the skin, as well as to the hair follicles and the cells that help hair grow, after they caused small injuries to trigger certain reactions, according to a press release. After skin injury, fat cells began breaking down stored...

"Some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public."Of all the Trump ‘scandals’ that the media has dug up, this one is the most revealing.Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases – The AtlanticHow dare they! Moving onto military bases? I wonder why they might be doing that. Probably for the luxurious lifestyles, the high-class dining and the exciting nightlife.“Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from...

It was a long shot for Republican Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, and now it’s over. Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has won the gubernatorial race, ending a contest that’s been riddled with drama. Sears had opportunities to turn things around. A white elderly Democrat carried a sign that was primarily seen as racist when Sears spoke out at an Arlington School Board meeting regarding the story of Richard Cox, a sex offender, who camped out at a high school girls’ locker room, claiming to be transgender. Spanberger’s answer to this question was also a trainwreck. Truth be told, Abby...

Westminster’s crusade against property owners will leave tenants with fewer choices and higher costs.This week, the UK Parliament passed the Renters’ Rights Act. It is the biggest shakeup to the British rental market this century, and is being sold as a big win for tenants.This could not be further from the truth. This legislation will wreak havoc on the already fundamentally broken rental market.It introduces de facto rent controls, crushes the supply of housing, and makes life harder for everyone trying to find somewhere to live.So what does this Act actually do?Most damagingly, it ends so-called “no-fault evictions,” or Section...

After evaluating 45,000 youths, an interesting study out of Germany found that with increasing religiosity, Christian teens became less violent. The research also found, however, that with increasing religiosity, Muslim teens became more violent. That was back in 2010. Now, 15 years later, another study in Germany finds that violence among migrant children is exploding. Meanwhile, native German youth are actually becoming more peaceful.(If the Morlocks and Eloi come to mind for you here, you’re not alone. You’re also probably over 45 [if you’d make that association].)Of course, none of this means the German kinder are “Christian,” except in name...

The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.On the cusp of electoral victory, New York mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani marched over the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday and arrived at City Hall, where he greeted cheering supporters with a promise.“We stand on the verge of ushering in a new day for our city,” he said. Their conviction would “be the light that our city and our nation so desperately need.”Put differently: His importance won’t stop at the shores of the Hudson.If public...
