On Tuesday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough blithely delivered his legal judgment on potential U.S. strikes against Iranian infrastructure, declaring: “that’s a war crime, by the way.” The remark came after a clip of NBC correspondent Garrett Haake pressing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on President Trump’s warning that Iran should make a deal or face overwhelming U.S. military force. HAAKE: “Why is the president threatening what would amount to potentially a war crime with the U.S. military?” LEAVITT: “...the United States Armed Forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination, and the president is not afraid to use them.” Co-host...

Explanation: We are one small step closer to returning to the Moon. A new chapter in human exploration began yesterday when NASA's Artemis II launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) from Kennedy Space Center. Carrying four astronauts, the Orion spacecraft's planned lunar flyby will be the first in over half a century. This historic test flight, echoing the legacy of Apollo while pushing beyond it, will carry its crew farther from Earth than any humans since 1972, looping around the Moon before returning home. During the approximately ten-day journey, Orion's systems--from life support to navigation--will be tested in deep...

A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated the legal status of thousands of migrants who had been allowed to temporarily live in the U.S. after using an app expanded by the Biden administration to schedule appointments with immigration officials. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston ordered the administration to reverse its move last year to revoke the legal status of migrants who used the CBP One app. The app was used under former President Joe Biden starting in 2023 to address the crisis at the border by allowing some migrants to make appointments to...

The FBI arrested a married couple Thursday accused of fraudulently billing Medicare for $7.45 million while running a hospice with a survival rate reported to be more than 97% after five years. They were the first in a series of arrests planned Thursday, federal officials told CBS News. A high survival rate at a hospice provider is one of a series of red flags identified by state auditors for fraud because most people enter hospice care in the final stages of a terminal illness. In past cases of fraud, operators were found to be using false or stolen identities to...

Iran and Oman are drafting a protocol to “monitor transit” through the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state news agency IRNA reported Thursday morning, citing an official.Tanker traffic through the key oil-shipping route “should be supervised and coordinated” with the two countries, said Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister of legal and international affairs, according to a translation of IRNA’s report.“Of course, these requirements will not mean restrictions, but rather to facilitate and ensure safe passage and provide better services to ships that pass through this route,” Gharibabadi reportedly said.U.S. stock indexes, which were trading sharply lower Thursday morning after President...

ALBANY– Gov. Kathy Hochul is quietly negotiating a possible deal with one of New York’s top labor leaders to allow public workers from teachers to nurses hired after 2014 to retire at 55, sources said. The age is currently 62 for those hired in the past 14 years. The potential fat pork deal pact would involve more than a billion dollars in sweetening pensions for the unionized public employees. Legislative leaders are being kept in the wings of the talks – which could be wed into the state budget package and lead to taxpayers footing billions – with Hochul dealing...

The Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has launched an interactive online tool tracking knife attacks across Berlin, as the party seeks to make rising violent crime a central issue in the city’s election campaign. The so-called “knife app” provides a detailed overview of incidents reported by police over the past 30 days, including an interactive map showing where attacks occurred, the number of injuries, and comparisons with official police crime statistics (PKS). AfD leader Kristin Brinker accused the ruling CDU-SPD coalition of failing to provide sufficient transparency on violent crime, arguing that public concern over safety has grown. Domestic policy spokesman...

The New York Times just confirmed what we've long suspected: ActBlue knowingly let in fraudulent foreign donations to help Democrats win. Yet another example of the left's embrace of fraud. Everyone involved must face the full weight of the law.

Buckingham Palace has confirmed King Charles will not issue an Easter message this year.

Conservative influencer Isabel Brown has condemned The View cohosts in a new online tirade, following intense criticism from the talk show's cohosts over the 28-year-old's recent remarks on stage at CPAC regarding motherhood and marriage. Hours after the show's telecast, Brown released a social media video and an exclusive statement to Entertainment Weekly reacting to panelists Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and guest cohost Whitney Cummings tearing into Brown in response to the online personality's comments on stage at the conservative event.(snip) In her statement to EW, Brown says, "I'm truly sad for the hate and contempt The View...

The movement looks organic. Concerned citizens, local advocacy groups, earnest letters to Congress, worried neighbors at zoning board meetings, all raising reasonable-sounding alarms about electricity consumption, water use, and the pace of technological change. If you accept that framing, the anti-AI, anti-data-center movement is a spontaneous democratic response to corporate excess. Accepting that framing, however, requires ignoring a substantial and growing body of evidence pointing toward a very different conclusion. The evidence suggests something more deliberate, more coordinated, and more consequential than neighbors worried about noise ordinances. A December 8, 2025 letter convened by Food and Water Watch, signed...

Betcha a VHS copy of To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! that Kristi Noem wishes the story of her crossdressing husband and his “bimbofication” fetish had broken today instead of yesterday. That way, she could’ve dismissed it as an April Fools’ Day prank. But no luck — the Noem photos and scandal appear to be legitimate — and Trump’s enemies are howling with laughter. (By the way, isn’t it a little weird how the left keeps insisting that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife is a “private citizen” and her social media support of terrorism, dismissal of sexual violence...

"The Gold Diggers' Song (We're in the Money)" is a song from the 1933 Warner Bros. Pictures film Gold Diggers of 1933, sung in the opening sequence by Ginger Rogers and chorus. Of special note is an extreme close-up of Rogers singing a verse in Pig Latin. The lyrics were written by Al Dubin and the music by Harry Warren. It became a standard with a well-known melody. It is one of the songs of the Broadway musical 42nd Street. "We're In The Money" - featuring Ginger Rogers (Gold Diggers of 1933) [video]

Our task force isn’t wasting any time cracking down on fraud. This morning in the LA area, federal law enforcement is taking down fraudsters who stole $50M+ from Americans by defrauding our healthcare and hospice systems. Thanks to @DrOzCMS and @USAttyEssayli for their work.

There was a time when Christians in America were told they were imagining things.No one is targeting your faith, they said. No one is trying to silence biblical truth. No one is punishing believers for simply standing on what Scripture teaches.Then a story like Jaden Ivey's comes along--and the mask slips.The Chicago Bulls did not waive Jaden Ivey because he committed a crime. He was not arrested. He was not accused of violence. He was not cut for some drunken scandal, sexual misconduct, or disgraceful off-court behavior that so often gets excused in professional sports. He was waived after publicly...

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has FIRED Attorney General Pam Bondi — FOX The firing took place Wednesday night

A lot of us have been wondering if and when Trump would slap down Tucker Carlson. Tucker has been taking potshots—no, firing broadsides—at Trump's policies and the core beliefs of almost every conservative for most of his time as a podcaster. He has essentially called anybody who supports Israel demonic, while implicitly supporting the expansion of Sharia law into the West. He has backstabbed Trump, tried to destroy him and his base, and provided aid and comfort to our enemies. Hasn't Trump noticed? He has... Trump posted a link to Douglas Murray's piece, which absolutely eviscerated Tucker, within about half...
