New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill bashed the “inherited” World Cup host agreement in which FIFA is absolved of paying for transportation to the matches at MetLife Stadium — and insisted she won’t stand for its planned price gouging. NJ Transit plans to raise prices to a staggering $100 for fans traveling from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for the eight FIFA World Cup games hosted at the Garden State arena. The average ticket goes for $12.90, marking an egregious 775% premium for all. While the rumored hike has “not been finalized,” according to a NJT spokesperson, locals are...

Much of William Shakespeare's life is shrouded in mystery – but a key riddle has just been solved, thanks to a newly discovered floorplan. A historical document found in the London Archives reveals the precise location of The Bard's only property in the capital. It can now be pinpointed to 5 St Andrew's Hill – a quiet Blackfriars street close to his workplace at the nearby theatre and within stumbling distance of a pub.

On Friday Nigel Farage sought to minimise his personal relationship with Trump. “I happen to know him, but that’s by the by,” said the Reform UK leader. Farage told the FT the bilateral partnership was “our most important relationship in the world . . . whether it’s [Joe] Biden in the White House or Trump.” Last year he said he hoped to become prime minister “quickly while Donald Trump is still in office.” Lord David Frost, the UK’s former Brexit negotiator, made an even more dramatic shift this week. The Conservative peer, who once welcomed Trump’s re-election as the “first...

Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar held his first international press conference after the 12 April election, which resulted in a supermajority victory for his Tisza Party. During the three-hour-long briefing, Magyar outlined key policies of the future government, including several aspects of foreign policy. ‘Hungary’s history is written by the Hungarian people, not in Moscow, not in Brussels, and not in Washington,’ he stressed, asking other countries to regard Hungary as a ‘free, independent and sovereign European country’ that is a member of the European Union and NATO. Magyar added that, under a Tisza government, Hungary will not ‘interfere in...

Migrants are falsely claiming to be victims of domestic abuse in order to stay in the country, a BBC investigation has discovered. They are exploiting rules brought in by ministers to help genuine victims of abuse to secure permanent residence more quickly than through other routes, such as asylum. Inadequate Home Office checks are allowing them to do so on the basis of little evidence, while their unsuspecting British partners have had their lives turned upside down by the false accusations, lawyers said. The concerns about how these protections - known as the Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession -...

65% of Haitian non-citizen households are on welfare. They are draining our resources, making America weaker and poorer. It is absolutely idiotic to give them backdoor amnesty by extending TPS.

It is very complex. It is not merely a moral, philosophical, or intellectual matter—it is also a matter of military warfare. That is to say: on the one hand, there are wars that are just. Is it just for Israel to defend itself? Absolutely just. Is it just—after the butchering perpetrated by the Palestinian Hamas guerrillas on October 7, 2023, killing more than a thousand innocent Israelis—for Israel to go and kill Hamas terrorists wherever they may be hiding? It is just; it is a just war. Now, in such just wars—regrettably, tragically—innocent people sometimes die. In wars—no matter how...

🇭🇺 HUGE! Magyar Péter REJECTS the EU Migration Pact: "Hungary will not accept any pact. In fact, I'm going to reinforce the border fence even more." Ursula's European Union cheered for nothing!

Daily Readings from the USCCB“The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” John 3:35–36A holy fear, one of the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit, begins with a fear of punishment. We should foster within our minds and hearts a healthy fear of experiencing the “wrath of God.” God’s holy wrath is not an emotional reaction to those who reject Him but rather the necessary consequence of disobeying Him and refusing...

The data are in, they’re not looking good, and the implications for America’s future are dire. Recently, a report was released on the latest fertility rate numbers for the United States, and they are alarming. For several years, they’ve been low enough to cause worry about American replacement rates, but in 2025, they hit a new low:AdvertisementThe United States is experiencing a demographic shift that could reshape the nation’s future. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows America’s total fertility rate has plummeted to a historic low of 1.6 children per woman—well below the 2.1 replacement level...

<p>The 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause was a surgical remedy for the unique injustice inflicted on freed black slaves and their descendants — not a blank check for the world’s opportunists. Unless the Court restores its original meaning, this misapplied policy will accelerate the erosion of everything that makes America worth defending.</p>

Perhaps, and we'll get to an answer – or at least an argument for it – shortly. The better question created by the last two pontificates is this: Has the Catholic Church abandoned St. Thomas Aquinas' deeply considered and scripturally rooted "Just War Doctrine" in exchange for flabby and fashionable pacifism dressed up as Christianity? We can address both questions without indulging in ad hominems and invective, I assure you, even when public officials (such as President Trump) can't restrain their frustration enough to keep the debate on point. The second question matters more than the first, especially in a...

WASHINGTON - California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell has formally resigned from Congress as new accusers allege that he raped and sexually assaulted them. Now, D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told FOX 5 in an exclusive interview that she wants to hear from any potential victims in the District. Big picture view What many may not know about D.C. and Pirro's office, in particular, is that she serves as both the federal prosecutor and the equivalent of a local district attorney. She's concerned, given the recent victims who continue to come forward accusing Swalwell of rape and sexual misconduct, that there...

I would call this peak woke, but we will never reach peak woke because they will keep inventing new categories of victims to steal money and rights from you to give them. As with the ever-expanding number of letters in the Progress Pride list, the types of victims to be unearthed is endless. But this certainly is a new level: creating a program to give free sex change surgeries to transgender homeless illegal aliens. One hopes that they are, as seems likely, "of color" to add yet another category of oppressed people. Throw in "indigenous," or perhaps terrorist drug-dealing gang...

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy" (Matt. 5:7). God commends merciful people but condemns the merciless. Scripture shows that those whom God blessed most abundantly were abundantly merciful to others. Abraham, for example, helped rescue his nephew Lot even after Lot had wronged him. Joseph was merciful to his brothers after they sold him into slavery. Twice David spared Saul's life after Saul tried to kill him. But just as sure as God's commendation is upon those who show mercy, His condemnation is upon those who are merciless. Psalm 109:14-16 says, "Let the iniquity of [the merciless...
