Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith argued Sunday that while President Donald Trump’s methods may be flawed, he has taken understandable action to solve a crisis former President Joe Biden created. During an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” Stephen A. Smith announced that he will soon determine whether he himself will run for president. “I will make a decision in early 2027, but I am not ruling it out because I expect a lot of success to come my way. And Lord help everybody if the amount of success comes my way ensures that I never have to worry about my...

NEW YORK/ WASHINGTON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge in Pennsylvania ordered the National Park Service on Monday to reinstall a slavery exhibit at a Philadelphia historic site, pending the outcome of litigation after the city sued the government over its removal. The exhibit was dismantled and removed last month in response to President Donald Trump's claims, rejected by civil rights groups, of an "anti-American ideology" at historical and cultural institutions. "The government claims it alone has the power to erase, alter, remove and hide historical accounts on taxpayer and local government-funded monuments within its control," U.S. District...

Grant had roots in both Baptist and Assemblies of God congregations, and went on to seminary to prepare for ministry. While there, he was introduced to the Church Fathers, who had a very different view of Baptism than the one he’d grown up with. Seeing that they treated it as a sacrament made him wonder if his view of Communion was also out of step with historic Christianity. After serving seven years in ministry, as both a children’s and student pastor, Grant ended up coming home to the Catholic Church.

The Van Der Beeks’ GoFundMe has already raised more than...

Minnesota is in the midst of what state health officials call the nation's "largest known outbreak" of TMVII, a sexually transmitted fungal skin infection that can cause severe ringworm. TMVII, or trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII, is the only known fungal-based sexually transmitted disease, according to the Minnesota Department of Health, and it's treatable with oral antifungals. The first case was reported in New York City in 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with Minnesota's first reported case in July 2025, when a patient sought treatment for a genital rash.

New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women. A bipartisan committee will seek testimony from survivors of alleged sexual abuse at the ranch, located about 30 miles south of Santa Fe, the state capital. The so-called truth commission, comprising four lawmakers, seeks to identify ranch guests and state officials who may have taken part in alleged sexual abuse in its hacienda-style mansion and guest houses...weeks after the...

Could Democrats and the media tell us their plan to get rid of the 10 million illegal immigrants President Biden let in? Because I’m getting the sense that they don’t have one. In fact, I’m pretty sure they don’t want anyone deported, ever, for any reason. Notwithstanding the obligatory throat-clearing, of course, I support a secure border, their behavior proves they don’t. The Biden administration did everything in its power to get more than 10 million “Undocumented Persons” to come here—setting up an app so illegal immigrants could actually schedule their illegal crossings, then rewarding them at the border...

The controversial policy, introduced during a surge in Channel crossings in 2020, saw asylum seekers searched and their mobiles and SIM cards confiscated, with data in many cases said to have been fully downloaded. Devices were often allegedly held for three months or longer, and some were never returned.

Police arrested a Christian pastor after he commented on Islam and transgender ideology while street preaching in Bristol city centre. Pastor Dia Moodley, 58, was arrested by Avon and Somerset Police officers last November in Broadmead on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred” under the Public Order Act 1986. The arrest was justified for his speech of “anti-islam and transgender rhetoric,” on suspicion of inciting religious hatred, despite the fact that he had "merely publicly shared his Christian views”. Pastor Moodley said: “This latest arrest has had a profoundly negative effect on me and has been extremely challenging personally. “I am...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hillary Clinton's long career in politics finally met with the recognition it deserved when the United States created a new federal holiday in her honor: "Almost Presidents" Day.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN this morning that Democrats' demands for reforms to immigration enforcement are "common sense." "We need masks off, we need cameras on and we need every police — every [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] officer, to be identified," Schumer said. "These are common sense proposals. They’re supported by the American people. Why won’t Republicans go for them? They don’t give any good answers. It’s something that every police department does across the country, but ICE is rogue, out of control."

Does anyone have a recollection of Tom Smith, the bear researcher, telling of a time when he and another were doing bear research and the companion shot a handgun but missed all the shots at the bear? I have a vague recollection, but cannot find a source. I thought it was in an interview by Tom Smith, maybe in a hunting or outdoor publication. If anyone remembers such a thing, please reply.
