Meanwhile, amid the escalating rhetoric, we have been speaking to a doctor inside Iran who reveals that injured demonstrators were being executed in their hospital beds while seeking treatment.

A federal appeals court ruled late Wednesday that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem acted unlawfully when she ended legal protections allowing hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans to live and work in the United States. The decision by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that found she exceeded her authority when she ended temporary protected status (TPS) for Venezuelans under the Biden-era Venezuela TPS designations, according to The Associated Press. All three judges on the panel were nominated by Democratic presidents. The ruling comes as the Trump administration...

The Florida Attorney General’s Office said it is expanding its investigation into petition fraud and is asking local elections officials to hand over more documents related to a proposed recreational marijuana amendment — days ahead of the final deadline for signatures to be verified.

New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani cast blame on former NYC Mayor Eric Adams for the city’s $12 billion deficit budget, stating that the city is facing a “serious fiscal crisis.” During a press conference on Wednesday, Mamdani accused Adams of underbudgeting important services that NYC residents “rely on every single day,” while “quietly leaving behind enormous gaps for the future.” Mamdani also accused former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of extracting NYC’s “resources” and using the city’s revenues to “address state level holes, while withholding from the city what it was owed.” “There is a massive fiscal...

On Super Bowl Sunday, millions of people watching the big game will see a Budweiser commercial that portrays an adorable friendship between a bald eagle and a horse as they grow up together on a scenic farm. The beer ad, soundtracked by Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird," celebrates Budweiser's 150th anniversary by pairing the brand's Clydesdale mascot with a national symbol for America's 250th birthday. The commercial builds up to a stunning shot of the eagle spreading its wings while perched atop the horse's back — briefly resembling a pegasus — before the bird breaks into flight. "You crying?" a farmer...

Polar bears living around Norway’s Arctic archipelago of Svalbard are getting “fatter and healthier” despite allegedly melting ice caps, according to new scientific research. For years, scientists and climate change alarmists have warned that declining ice coverage would sharply reduce hunting opportunities for polar bears, leading to poorer health and falling populations. However, long-term monitoring of bears in the Svalbard region suggests a different outcome. Researchers analysed 1,188 records from 770 adult polar bears collected between 1992 and 2019. After a brief decline in the mid-1990s, both male and female bears showed increases in body weight and fat reserves, indicating...

The BBC must stop box-ticking casting that 'shoe-horns' ethnic minority actors into period dramas, a review has urged. In a damning independent report into the corporation's content, the BBC was also told it needs to improve coverage of the working class and women over 60 if it is to keep engaging audiences. The broadcaster has been conducting 'preachy' diversity casting in a string of its dramas, resulting in ethnic minorities ending up in inappropriate settings, the review found.

Florida nurse gives up license after saying he won’t perform anesthesia on MAGA patients A Florida nurse who said he would not “perform anesthesia” for “MAGA” patients has relinquished his license. “Effective today, Erik Martindale is no longer a registered nurse in Florida,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wrote in an X post Thursday. “Healthcare is not contingent on political beliefs, and we have zero tolerance for partisans who put politics above their ethical duty to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve,” he added. In a since-deleted post on social media, Martindale said, “I will not perform...

Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 06:29 PM EST 01.29.26 Based on the fact that Canada has wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly refused to certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 Jets, one of the greatest, most technologically advanced airplanes ever made, we are hereby decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in Canada, until such time as Gulfstream, a Great American Company, is fully certified, as it should have been many years ago. Further, Canada is effectively prohibiting the sale of Gulfstream products in Canada through this very same certification process. If, for any reason, this situation...

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump and his sons are suing the IRS and Treasury for $10 BILLION DOLLARS over the leaking of his tax records YES! It's time for everybody who wronged President Trump to FAFO, INCLUDING the IRS. 🔥🔥 “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people.”

Just a reminder that Reid Hoffman really did say in a public forum that he wished President Trump had been killed in the assassination attempt

God exalted Christ "far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet" (Eph. 1:21-22). Now and forever Christ is the Supreme One! Yesterday we saw that Christ has both an exalted name and an exalted, authoritative position. In verses 21-22 Paul elaborates on the extent of Christ's authority, which is "far above all rule and authority and power and dominion." "Rule," "authority," "power," and "dominion" are designations for angelic beings, whether...

The actor revealed his thoughts on the ongoing situation during an interview with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday night.“This is time for a revolution — and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting,” the actor said. “We have to stand up to it. They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].”Esposito said the situation is all part of a “very insidious problem”...
