    An international team of researchers has found the DNA of Y. pestis in a 4,000-year-old domesticated sheep from the fortified Bronze Age settlement of Arkaim, in the southern Ural Mountains in present-day Russia, which marks the first confirmed case of a Bronze Age plague infection in a non-human host. It proves that livestock played a role in prehistoric plague dynamics.The sheep was associated with the Sintashta-Petrovka cultural complex, which was known for its sophisticated metallurgy, horse riding, and large, mobile herds. Genetic studies indicate that the bacterium found in the sheep belongs to the Late Neolithic–Bronze Age plague lineage that...
  • Exclusive: Bombshell Footage Claims Judges Can Be Bought With Bribes in Ohio Immigration Courts

    In exclusive footage obtained by Townhall, evidence has emerged suggesting that migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania are exploiting the U.S. immigration and asylum system in Lockland, Ohio, raising serious questions about the integrity and oversight of the process. At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the...

    Brusselstown Ring lies within the Baltinglass hillfort cluster, a landscape of up to 13 large hilltop enclosures that shows nearly continuous activity from the Early Neolithic through the Bronze Age. What is singular about Brusselstown, however, is its extraordinary scale and layout. Two widely spaced ramparts surround the site, with the outer boundary encompassing not only the main hillfort but also the nearby Neolithic enclosure at Spinas Hill 1. Enclosures extending across more than one hill are rare in Ireland and Britain and are very uncommon even in later Iron Age Europe.Airborne and topographical surveys identified more than 600 subtle...
  • Now We Know: Obama And Biden Deportation Numbers Were Bogus

    Issues & Insights ^ | 20 Jan, 2026 | I & I Editorial Board
    How many times have you heard it said that Barack Obama was “deporter in chief”? How many times did Joe Biden brag that he’d deported more illegal immigrants than Donald Trump had in his first term? Turns out, those were wild distortions of the truth bordering – if you will pardon the pun – on outright lies. In late 2024, for example, we saw stories about how deportations that year were the largest in a decade, beating Trump’s record in what would be his first term. As NPR put it, this meant that “the Republican narrative that the Biden...

    European opposition ⁠to President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and his proposed "Board of Peace" initiative has disrupted plans for an economic support package for postwar Ukraine, the Financial Times reported ‍on Wednesday. A planned announcement of an $800 billion prosperity ‍plan to be agreed between Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S. at the World Economic Forum ⁠in Davos this week has been delayed, the report said, citing six officials. Reuters could not immediately verify ​the report. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "Nobody is in any mood to stage ‍a grand spectacle around...

    Far from isolated incidents, persecution of Christians is now embedded in the political and social systems of dozens of countries. hristianity Today recently published its overview of the 2026 Open Doors World Watch List, identifying the 50 countries where it is most dangerous to live openly as a Christian. While Christianity Today focuses on Syria, newly vaulted into the Top 10, the larger story is more global. According to Open Doors, more than 388 million Christians now live under high levels of persecution or discrimination. That is roughly 1 in 7 believers worldwide. The trend is not driven by a...

    Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used legislation passed as part of the post-Civil War “Jim Crow” laws Tuesday to justify a Hawaii gun control law. The Supreme Court heard a case challenging legislation passed by the Hawaii state Legislature after the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. Jackson questioned United States Principal Deputy Solicitor General Sarah Harris regarding the constitutionality of a law that prohibited concealed carry permit holders from carrying a firearm on private property without permission. “So I guess I really don’t understand your response to Justice...

    “The entire population of Gaza is facing the risk of famine,” Sigrid Kaag, the UN’s coordinator for Gaza, falsely claimed, echoing Hamas propaganda. “Israel must halt its devastating strikes.” Kaag (Pictured above, left), a leftist Dutch politician and UN official, had been picked for the role in Gaza by the Biden administration. And she had all the right credentials including the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO), the World Economic Forum and leftist politics. She had cheered the BLM race riots and claimed that America was systematically racist because New Yorkers had mistaken her husband, who worked for a Muslim terrorist...

    Grapevine-Colleyville ISD officials are separating themselves from a nationally organized “Islamic Games” event at Colleyville Heritage High School, per a statement provided to The Dallas Express by GCISD Executive Director of Communications Nicole Lyons. “This reservation for facility rental was still in negotiation review and not yet finalized. On Jan. 19, GCISD was made aware that an organization listed as a sponsor of the Islamic Games in North Texas has been declared a Terrorist Organization by the Governor of Texas.

    Once again, Democrats are offering nothing affirmative in service to the American people. All they have is opposition to President Trump and Republicans. They’ve taken the 20% side of every 80/20 issue. They have, however, leveraged a myriad of “flashpoints” in service to their get-out-the-vote efforts. The Hands Off protests claimed that Republicans are pillaging Medicare and Social Security — inflaming Boomers to hit the streets in response. Gun control activists hit the streets in response to the school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, once again taking the (false) moral high ground of caring for children...

    President Donald Trump marked his first year back in office by presiding over a meandering, nearly two-hour-long press briefing to recount his accomplishments, repeating many false claims he made throughout 2025.

Here’s a closer look at the facts. 2020 election TRUMP, referencing former President Joe Biden: “... a man that didn’t win the election, by the way, it’s a rigged election. Everybody knows that now.
