According to a new report, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be stepping in and taking a more aggressive role in investigating illegal employment inside the United States.And no, they’re not politely coordinating with the IRS. They basically just told them to “take a seat.”DHS is reportedly bypassing the IRS and using its own investigative team to dig into the relationship between employers and illegal workers.For years, everyone avoided this tactic. Why? Because the uniparty knew it would actually break the pipeline, and God knows they don’t want that to happen.Now, Trump’s DHS is moving directly into the driver’s...

The popularity of sports worldwide has grown rapidly due to the consistent increase in television rights. With roughly 8 billion people worldwide, it’s very difficult to map which are the most popular—for example, table tennis is most popular in Asia, while the NFL’s following is predominantly based in the U.S.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned Monday that World War III "will undoubtedly begin" if President Trump persists in his "insane course" of regime change.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev issued a stark warning Monday that continued US efforts to topple foreign governments will inevitably trigger global conflict.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday rated the US performance in the war with Iran as a 15 on a scale of 10, saying the Islamic republic’s leaders were rapidly being killed, and vowing to push on.Trump’s comments came as the conflict expanded on its fifth day, with a US submarine sinking an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka and fresh blasts across the Middle East. “We’re doing well on the war front, to put it mildly. Somebody said on a scale of 10, where would you rate it? I said about a 15,” Trump told a gathering of...

James Talarico barely mentioned Donald Trump when he finally got to give his victory speech on Wednesday night as Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas. But the 36-year-old state lawmaker is now a front man for the left’s opposition to Trump, not just in his own state but around the country. With his victory over U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the state lawmaker from Austin will test whether a smiling message of unity and change is enough to answer voters’ frustrations amid discord at home and now a war abroad. “We’re done being divided. We’re done being played,” Talarico said,...

@rittenhouse2a If Trump endorses Ken Paxton, I'm voting for Ken Paxton. If Trump endorses Cornyn, I'm voting for Ken Paxton. @rittenhouse2a This would be a DISASTER of a decision. A HUGE mistake. Cornyn is a RINO. One of the worst. Paxton is one of the best. He would be a HUGE upgrade to the US Senate.

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. Luke 16:22–23Money is dangerous, as are power, notoriety, physical beauty, and exceptional talent. All of these are often desired, sought after, and envied. In and of themselves, each has the potential for great good. But because of that, they also have the potential for great sin. The Gospel passage...

"The word of the Lord [came] to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem" (Dan. 9:2). Effective prayer is always consistent with God’s will. It is characteristic of God's people to identify with God's purposes and conform their will to His. Learning to pray according to His will is a major step in that process because it drives you to the Word and demonstrates a humble, submissive heart. Jesus emphasized the priority of God's will when He said, "I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who...

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. John Fetterman MIC DROPS the pro-Palestine left who RELENTESSLY demanded a "ceasefire" after Oct. 7th "The Democrats since 10-7 have been WRONG! 'Ceasefire, ceasefire!' IMAGINE if Israel was pushed to a ceasefire in Summer '24. Hamas would still be intact, Hezbollah would be intact, and Iran could very much could have acquired a nuclear weapon by that point!"

"And then I was the only Democrat that supported President Trump striking...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Attorney General Peter Neronha released a sweeping report Wednesday detailing decades of child sexual abuse and systemic coverup within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, identifying 72 clergy members as “credibly accused” of misconduct. The report is the culmination of a yearslong investigation stemming from a 2019 agreement between the state’s top prosecutor and former Bishop Thomas Tobin. The agreement granted state investigators unprecedented access to the church’s “secret archives,” personnel files and internal records dating back to 1950. “Generations of Rhode Island victims, their families and others who have suffered the impacts of this trauma...

Dubai expats have been flooding social media with posts insisting the country remains the 'safest place on Earth' - as frightened holidaymakers and British nationals scramble for flights home, with some families paying up to £100,000 for private jets to escape the war-shaken Gulf state. The extraordinary online campaign comes despite Iranian missiles and suicide drones striking across the region, leaving airports disrupted, flights cancelled and thousands of ordinary Britons desperate to get home. While the United Arab Emirates government insists its air defences are successfully intercepting most incoming attacks, the Daily Mail has learned that behind carefully curated Instagram...

Russia is one of the biggest winners in the early days of the largest U.S. military confrontation in decades, as Iranian missiles deplete stocks of Patriot interceptors that Ukraine needs for its defense. Even before the Iran campaign, production bottlenecks in the U.S.-made Patriot system had drained Ukraine’s reserves and left European allies on yearslong waiting lists. Those shortfalls have allowed Russia to punch through gaps in Ukraine’s air defenses, devastating its power infrastructure and casting Ukrainian cities into blackouts.
