Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has cheated death so many times he’s like a cat with nine lives, only in his case, it’s probably ninety-nine. A show in Sacramento in December 1965 proved almost fatal for Richards. While he was singing, Richards, 82, didn’t realize his mic was ungrounded. “The strings of his guitar touching the metal stand shorted out the amp and sent a strong surge of electricity” through his body, writes Bob Spitz in the upcoming book “The Rolling Stones: The Biography.” A photographer who was there remembers that Richards was “unconscious for a long time,” and when...

[Catholic Caucus] The Unexplained Shift in Pope Leo XIV’s January ConsistoryWhy was a traditional format replaced at the last minute—and by whom?ROME, 15 April 2026 — The Vatican announced this week that Pope Leo XIV will convene his second extraordinary consistory of cardinals on June 26-27, but are these meetings being organized with genuine openness, or are they structured to steer toward a predetermined outcome?An extraordinary consistory, from the Latin consistorium (“standing together”), is among the principal ways cardinals assist the Roman Pontiff through collegial action. Convened at the pope’s discretion, these formal assemblies bring together the College of Cardinals...

Five people were wounded in a mass shooting near the University of Iowa campus after a large brawl that broke out early Sunday, police confirmed — as they shared a photo of five “persons of interest” in the carnage.

The gunman accused of shooting eight young children dead in Shreveport, Louisiana on Sunday morning has been identified as Shamar Elkins. Elkins, 31, opened fire at a home in Shreveport during a domestic disturbance, former Caddo Parish Constable Patrick Young told the Daily Mail. The suspect, who was fatally shot by police during a vehicle chase, is accused of killing eight children, with the youngest being just 18 months old, the Shreveport Police Department said

On his Facebook page, Elkins shared a picture of him with his eldest daughter as she ate a burger Saturday, hours before his rampage. “Lol!!!! Took my oldest on a lil 1 on 1 date had to catch her down bad ugh ugh,” the killer wrote, along with a string of laughing emojis. Two weeks ago, Elkins shared a picture of himself posing with seven children as he described taking them to church for an Easter service. “Happy Easter had a wonderful time at church for the first time with all my kids what a blessed day,” he wrote in...

In one of the most unfortunate moral and strategic inversions in recent times, Democrats today seem to believe what is good for our national security is bad for the Democratic Party.Republicans have generally supported Democratic presidents in wartime: Kosovo 1999, Libya 2011, Yemen 2024 — all commenced without congressional authorization.Democrats have done mostly the same for Republican presidents: Iraq 1991 and 2003, Afghanistan 2001.But with Donald Trump and Iran, things are different: Democrats are in uniform, rageful opposition. They hector the president daily even amid combat operations, much to the delight of the Iranian mullahs, who avidly consume US media...

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you, as a Democrat, there was this extraordinary vote this past week in the Senate. Forty Senate Democrats tried to block a U.S. weapons sale to Israel, and that adds to this growing rift we have seen between your party and Benjamin Netanyahu. Do you think Democrats are going to come to regret this break in the alliance? HOCHSTEIN: So I hope that it's not a break in the alliance. I think this, what it really demonstrates is for the last several years, Prime Minister Netanyahu has sacrificed Israel's interest in the United States....

THE 2026 World Cup is shaping up to be expensive for fans. Depending on what stadium your ticket is for — if you even got one due to exorbitant prices — transit and lodging costs are cripplingly high. This year’s World Cup was marketed as a tournament to get Americans excited about soccer and be a place where all fans could come and watch their countries compete. Instead, it has become a bidding war with both Fifa and local governments setting incredibly high prices. The cheapest tickets for less favorable games start at around $140 for a seat, but can...

WASHINGTON — The US seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship after “blowing a hole” in its engine room when it tried to break past the Navy blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump revealed Sunday. The USS Spruance destroyer intercepted Iran’s Touska cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, taking custody of the ship after it refused warnings to stop, according to the president. “Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them,” Trump...

Hunter Biden critiqued the Democratic Party’s leadership as overly civility-focused and driven by a consultant class, arguing they lack the spine to counter a re-energized Republican opposition. He praised California Governor Gavin Newsom as the party’s “greatest warrior” and urged a shift toward aggressive advocacy and fighting in hostile terrain to redefine the party’s strategy. The remarks, linked to tensions with DNC elites and perceived disloyalty to his father, cast internal party dynamics in a light of loyalty challenges and vision gaps. Biden’s comments call for broader unity beyond party labels and signal potential implications for 2028 contenders. Analysts note...

Explanation: Have you ever had stars in your eyes? It appears that the eye on the left does, and moreover, it appears to be gazing at even more stars. The featured 27-frame mosaic was taken in 2019 from Ojas de Salar in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The eye is actually a small lagoon captured reflecting the dark night sky as the Milky Way Galaxy arched overhead. The seemingly smooth band of the Milky Way is really composed of billions of stars, but decorated with filaments of light-absorbing dust and red-glowing nebulas. Additionally, both Jupiter (slightly left the galactic arch)...

The European Union’s energy commissioner is asking people in the bloc to drive less, work from home and implement other measures to lower the demand for oil and gas as the Iran war strains energy supplies. The EU is asking its member states to implement the International Energy Agency’s 10-point plan to reduce global oil demand, said Dan Jørgensen, the EU’s energy commissioner, during a press conference on Tuesday. “Since the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East, prices in the EU have risen by around 70 per cent for gas and by 60 per cent for oil,” he...

A group of employees from Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant returned to Russia via Armenia as part of an ongoing evacuation effort, according to the Russian Embassy in Armenia. On April 15, another 94 Russian citizens were evacuated through Armenian territory.

Along with the Russian citizens, Belarusian nationals were also evacuated… “We thank the authorities of the Republic of Armenia for their prompt response and assistance in organizing the comfortable transit of Rosatom State Corporation employees,” the statement said.

While the Fake News Media and the same doomsday “experts” who’ve been wrong for decades scream about “Trump chaos” and “imperial overreach,” President Trump is quietly executing the boldest strategic master plan in a generation. It’s not just about seizing Venezuela’s massive reserves or finally crushing Iran’s terror-sponsoring regime. Those moves are chess pieces in a far bigger game: total containment of Communist China — and, beyond even that, the permanent re-assertion of Pax Americana for the rest of the 21st century. The globalist intellectuals are melting down because their beloved “multipolar world” fantasy is collapsing in real time. Everyone...
