The State Department formally determined this month that the Palestinian Authority paid more than $200 million to terrorists and their families in 2025, the same year PA president Mahmoud Abbas claimed he ended the "pay-to-slay" program, according to a nonpublic notice provided to Congress and obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon.

Israeli intelligence assessed that the...

I really respect Judge Andrew Napolitano. I love his "stable" of guests, especially Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski–you gotta love the lady. But when the Judge says that the ICE Officers who applied lethal force to civil conflict situations, "murdered" those who foolishly placed themselves in harm's way for no advantage to anyone, let's apply the Judge's own standards of judgment, as a Constitutional Expert. There is a customary spread of categories applied to homicides, condensed in this list of classifications, from intentional and pre-planned murder, negligent manslaughter, and justifiable self-defense. What would be the typical scenario for "murder" in a...

Using his position of power to try to get someone in trouble for supporting law enforcement.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a bigger budget than any other U.S. law enforcement agency at $85 billion. That’s far greater than the budget for the U.S. Marines, yet it’s hard to see any of the same competence and professionalism in ICE operations. Donald Trump returned to the White House with a promise to slash government waste and inefficiency through a Department of Government Efficiency. Congress should now create a DOGE to rein in wasted taxpayer money, poor management, incompetent behavior and mission creep at ICE....

It smells like rice and bananas," said security guard Jim Palmer as he secured Omar. "This is the most awful stench I have ever encountered. We need to get that substance down to the laboratory immediately. It's either poo mixed with rancid...

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Priest and Doctor of the Church“And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.” He added, “Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.” And when he was alone, those present along with the Twelve questioned him about the parables. Mark 4:8–10The Parable of the Sower is one of Jesus’ foundational teachings. When preaching from a boat to a large crowd, Jesus used parables to reveal the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Afterward, His disciples questioned why...

A giant reservoir of "secret" fresh water off the East Coast that could potentially supply a city the size of New York City for 800 years may have formed during the last ice age, when the region was covered in glaciers, researchers say. Preliminary analyses suggest the reservoir, which sits beneath the seafloor and appears to stretch from offshore New Jersey as far north as Maine, was locked in place under frigid conditions around 20,000 years ago, hinting that it formed in the last glacial period due, partly, to thick ice sheets. Last summer, researchers went on an expedition to...

Duke Divinity School at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina is offering a course that explores the intersection of “queerness” and Christianity. The course seeks to “broaden the discussion of queerness and theology for a productive intervention.” The class is titled “from Baptismal Font to Queer Theology” and awards one unit of credit. ”This course examines and excavates ‘queer’ in relationship to theology and theory,” a course description reads. “Is queer driven by identity politics, an umbrella term for sexual identity, gender identity, antinormativity politics, social locations, or is queer descriptive of something entirely different? Does queer have an agenda?”...
