A “Jetsons”-style “air taxi” may be transporting New Yorkers before the end of the decade, its manufacturer says. The UK-based tech company Vertical Aerospace touted its futuristic Valo aircraft, a four-seat electric vehicle designed to fly up to 100 miles at 150 mph, at an industry preview in Manhattan last week — calling the contraption a first because of its zero-emissions power source. “If you think of mass transport … the infrastructure just doesn’t work anymore,” company CEO Stuart Simpson told The Post in unveiling the craft, which has a pilot and is roughly the same size as a chopper...

An interim ruling has recently been handed down from an Australian Court, which has pro-Palestinian activists celebrating, but Jewish Australians again wondering whether Australia’s judicial system truly supports them in the ongoing battle against antisemitism. The Jewish Independent ran a story on 11 July 2024, which pointed to that fact that prominent businessman and Palestinian activist, Hash Tayeh, was to be investigated for reciting the chant “All Zionists are terrorists” at a pro-Palestinian rally. Mr Tayeh was eventually charged and ordered to appear in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria. According to the official Court documents, Mr Tayeh was fighting five...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison previously argued that Americans have no Second Amendment right to carry firearms at political protests. Ellison joined 16 other attorneys general from Democrat-led states in an amicus brief filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in January 2024, according to court records. The coalition argued states can ban firearms at political rallies and protests because such events attract violence. The group also contended that guns at demonstrations could intimidate people and discourage them from speaking freely. Ellison’s legal stance faced scrutiny Saturday when Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement...

A political action committee (PAC) which backed Kamala Harris’s campaign appears to have scrubbed its website after it was caught soliciting donations via a text mentioning Alex Pretti, just hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot him in Minneapolis. Multiple X accounts posted screenshots of a fundraising text message sent from a toll-free number Saturday beginning with the words, “Alex Pretti is the limit,” and calling on recipients to “Stand with us! Donate $50 for 200% MATCH.” The message appeared to have linked to a donation landing page for Democratic Youth Wave PAC hosted by leading Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue....

Andy Burnham may be merely “disappointed” at being barred from standing as an MP, but voters on the streets of Greater Manchester are infuriated. Constituents of Gorton and Denton have told of their anger at the rearguard tactics employed by Sir Keir Starmer’s allies to rebuff their “King of the North”. Some said they were now considering voting for Reform UK in the looming by-election. A panel of the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) blocked Mr Burnham’s attempt to return to Westminster by eight votes to one on Sunday. Winning the seat might well have paved the way for...

Gavin Newsom usually detests the Second Amendment, but for the purpose of defaming an ICE officer after another shooting in Minneapolis, he suddenly supports it wholeheartedly. Isn't that convenient?

The daughter of one of Iran’s most powerful officials was quietly ousted from her position at Emory University following a wave of public outrage over her employment, The California Post confirmed. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, an assistant professor at Emory’s prestigious Winship Cancer Institute, is no longer employed by the prestigious Atlanta-based school, a university spokesperson said Sunday. Ardeshir-Larijani’s father, Ali Larijani, is a top dog in the Islamic Republic’s brutal regime, serving as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. “A physician who is the daughter of a senior Iranian government official is no longer an employee of Emory,” said Andrea...

President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Democrat governors and mayors nationwide to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, warning on Truth Social that refusal to do so has created "dangerous circumstances" and led to the deaths of two American citizens. Trump outlined four specific actions he said Democrat officials must take to assist his administration's immigration enforcement efforts: * Turn over all criminal illegal migrants currently held in state prisons and local jails — as well as those with active warrants or known criminal histories — to federal authorities for immediate deportation.

Every Jewish child, even if he knows nothing else, knows one question: מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת. That question comes from the Passover service, when a child asks those at the table, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” The answer, of course, is that Passover is the night on which we commemorate how God liberated the Jews from Egyptian slavery, a moment that led to the seminal Ten Commandments and the Jews’ return to their land. It is, in other words, an important question: Why is this one thing different from all other things? (For the...

The Patriots will get to enjoy Denver a little bit longer thanks to the winter storm impacting much of the United States. New England punched its ticket to Super Bowl 2026 with its 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship game. The Pats will have to celebrate their big win with a night out on the town in Denver, which head coach Mike Vrabel was fully on board with, but he also had a stern message for his team.

"We are in the position to form a new government," said a senior official from the Union Solidarity and Development Party, after the vote's third and final phase took place on Sunday.Myanmar's dominant pro-military party has won junta-run elections, a party source told AFP on Monday (Jan 26), after a month-long vote that democracy watchdogs dismissed as a rebranding of army rule.

China’s top general has been accused of leaking nuclear secrets to the US and accepting bribes as President Xi Jinping purges the country’s senior military leadership. General Zhang Youxia, 75, once considered one of Xi’s most-trusted military allies, allegedly leaked core technical data on China’s nuclear weapons to the US, the Wall Street Journal reported. Zhang, the first-ranked vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was officially placed under investigation on Saturday. He was detained by military corruption investigators earlier this week, according to reports from Chinese outlets.

"I pray that . . . you may know . . . what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints" (Eph. 1:18). How you perceive your spiritual resources dictates how you live. Throughout Ephesians 1 Paul is clearly struck with the magnificence of our inheritance in Christ. Here he prays that we will know the riches of its glory. Some commentators see "His inheritance" as a reference to believers, who are God's inheritance or special possession (v. 14). That view stresses the value God places on us as believers, as demonstrated in Christ's death, the...

A year ago, few Americans knew Gregory Bovino’s name. Now he’s the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. And everything from the Border Patrol commander-at-large’s tactics in the field to his wardrobe choices have become lightning rods in a storm with no end in sight. On the streets of multiple American cities, Bovino – sporting a buzzcut and the Border Patrol’s olive green uniform – has been spotted leading patrols, hurling tear gas canisters and verbally sparring with critics. He often stands out among groups of federal officers as one of the few people not wearing a mask. On...

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse who worked at the Minneapolis VA hospital, was identified as the man killed by a Border Patrol agent. The Department of Homeland Security said the agent...
