Senator Blumenthal said the ICE agents will shoot and kill families at the airports. “ICE agents at airports will only aggravate delays &...

California is taking aim at gas stations charging sky-high prices, with some pumps hitting over $8 a gallon. The state’s petroleum market watchdog, part of the California Energy Commission, has launched an investigation to see if any retailers are engaging in illegal price gouging. Officials are scrutinizing prices that appear out of step with the cost of crude oil and normal market trends. Stations flagged for unusually high pricing have already been contacted as part of the review, officials said. The spike has put a spotlight on the Golden State’s already expensive fuel market. California has long faced higher-than-average prices...

MONTROSE, W.Va. — Two West Virginia men face felony charges after authorities said one of them shot his younger brother multiple times at a home in Randolph County on Feb. 12, and the other helped restrain the wounded man as he tried to get away. Investigators say the shooting began inside a home on Mule Hollow Road in Montrose at about 9:15 p.m. and left Brett Lee Arbogast, 31, with gunshot wounds to the head, arm and hand. Derek Justin Arbogast, 36, is charged with first-degree attempted murder. Larry Brian Talkington, 63, is charged as a principal in second-degree attempted...

An orphaned boy in New Hampshire took his own life just one week after his 13th birthday when he “couldn’t handle” the relentless bullying he faced at school, his distraught family said. Josiah Michael Dwinell, 13, jumped off a bridge in Alstead, New Hampshire on March 12 — just eight days after his birthday, his aunt Shaena Lyon confirmed on Facebook. Josiah’s mother, Amber, passed away unexpectedly in 2021, according to her obituary. Amber changed her Facebook profile picture to an emblem for “overdose awareness” in 2020. Her cause of death isn’t immediately clear. Josiah was taken in by his...

I’ve been admittedly skeptical that the current effort to pass the SAVE America Act will succeed. I want it to pass. Desperately. And from where I sit, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t pass. But we all know why something so popular and commonsense can’t get to President Donald Trump’s desk for his signature. Democrats in Congress don’t want election integrity and are fighting against it like their power is on the line. Despite my skepticism, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), the lead sponsor of the bill, is confident the SAVE America Act is going to pass — and after just...

For years, turning 65 with a blood pressure reading above 130 meant one thing: medication. A new analysis of the 2025 American Heart Association guidelines shows that this practice is changing, finding that roughly 10 percent of older adults previously flagged for treatment may no longer meet the criteria, a move experts say prevents overtreatment, but one that carries its own risks. The 2025 guidelines marked a significant departure from the 2017 AHA guidelines, which recommended treatment for all adults over 65 with blood pressure at or above 130/80 mmHg. The updated 2025 guidelines replace that blanket approach with one...

OZARK, Ala. (WPEC) — An Alabama police officer discovered a Florida man hauling 81 gallons of moonshine during a routine traffic stop, an amount authorities say far exceeds what can legally be transported without a license. The Ozark Police Department said Officer Dylan Griffin with the Crime Suppression Unit pulled over 61-year-old Learndis Hamilton on January 9 for a traffic violation. Containers of clear liquid were reportedly visible inside the vehicle, prompting further investigation. Tests confirmed the liquid was illegally distilled moonshine, police said. Hamilton, who was traveling from Florida to an unknown destination, was the sole occupant of...

The 60-Year Battle for Tradition: In Defence of the SSPXWhen writing about the last sixty years battle in the Church for the preservation of the traditional Catholic faith, no history would be complete without recalling the stand taken by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the community he founded, the Society of St Pius X (“SSPX”).This is all the more so given the recent announcement that the SSPX is considering consecrating more bishops to replace those now ageing and dying.Let me begin by saying that I am not a regular attender at the SSPX Masses, so I have no particular...

A California school district is teetering on the verge of collapse after out of control spending and hiring. Santa Rosa City Schools, which are about 1.5 hours north of San Francisco, have been reprimanded by Sonoma County education chiefs for blowing stacks of cash. Staff saw bumper pay packets and brought in too many new workers for the revenue it was generating, authorities said. Meanwhile the district has seen student enrollment dwindle from 16,000 in 2016 to under 12,000 last year across 24 schools in the region. In a stark warning, Michael Fine, CEO of the Fiscal Crisis and Management...

The U.S. Trump administration released a sweeping AI policy framework today covering everything from child safety to copyright. The biggest move: telling states to stop making their own rules. If your company uses AI (and at this point, whose doesn't?), the rules governing what that AI can and can't do are about to change. The question is whether Washington can agree on how.The White House released its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence today, a four-page legislative blueprint that tells Congress exactly what the administration wants in a national AI law. Seven priority areas. Zero new regulatory agencies. And one...

Hundreds of tone-deaf lefty radicals flocked into Havana this weekend to meet with Communist Party officials — staying in luxury hotels and traveling in air-conditioned buses — as the rest of the island grapples with a worsening economic crisis that’s starved it of electricity, food, water and medicine. The “Nuestra America Convoy” sent socialists from North America and Europe to Cuba by air, sea, and land, under the guise of handing out 20 tons of humanitarian aid to protest the United States oil blockade on Cuba. The convoy includes Mayor Zohran Mamdani ally and influential streamer Hasan Piker – who...

Gold is supposed to be one of the first assets investors run to when the world gets dangerous. War in the Middle East, oil supply disruptions, rising inflation fears, and a more hawkish interest rate outlook should, in theory, create a near-perfect backdrop for the precious metal. Instead, gold has done the opposite. It has sold off hard, leaving many investors wondering whether one of the market’s oldest safe-haven trades is starting to fail when it is needed most. That disconnect matters. Gold is not just another commodity. For many investors, central banks, and households around the world, it represents...

On February 9, 1970, Johnny Carson did something that would be unthinkable for a late night host today, or really anyone on TV: He gave a full hour of The Tonight Show to a Stanford professor. But Paul Ehrlich, the author along with his wife Anne of the blockbuster book The Population Bomb, was charismatic, telegenic, and absolutely terrifying. He told Carson’s massive audience that hundreds of millions of people were about to starve to death. Nothing could stop it.Ehrlich’s first appearance on The Tonight Show demonstrates a lot of things, not least how much popular TV has changed. (I’m...

While Gulf countries cautioned US President Donald Trump not to launch a war against Iran in the runup to the conflict, most of them are now urging Washington to continue striking the regime, four senior officials representing different Gulf capitals told The Times of Israel. There is still some frustration with the way the US and Israel are prosecuting the war, but there is a desire among Gulf countries — particularly the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar — to ensure that Iran comes out of this war with its military power sufficiently degraded to cease posing a...
