DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A man convicted for his role in a horrific rape and fatal stomping at a Decatur park decades ago could soon be released from prison. What we know: The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Parole is reviewing the case of Lapas Favors to determine whether to grant him parole. Favors is currently serving a life sentence for murder, kidnapping and armed robbery. The charges stem from a violent 1981 assault at Glenn Lake Park in Decatur. Two working mothers, Jean Buice and Bettye Ann Miles, had just finished eating lunch and returned to their car...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration - THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact! The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will...

"The evidence for water vapor plumes on Europa isn’t as strong as we first understood it,"

In the wake of several close elections and a few Republican upsets, Democratic Party elites are increasingly embracing rhetoric that suggests a growing contempt for the will of the voters and an eagerness to circumvent the democratic process to beat the opposition party. The redistricting wars have resulted in Republicans gaining a modest advantage in the upcoming race for control of the House, and legal setbacks to Democratic countermeasures have resulted in pivotal political leaders voicing their frustrations in increasingly provocative ways. "Either MAGA extremists are gonna break the country or we are gonna break them,” House Minority Leader Hakeem...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is pushing back on fellow Republicans who have criticized an emerging deal being negotiated by the Trump administration to end the war with Iran. Paul, who has criticized the war while joining with Democrats to support War Powers Resolution votes to curb President Trump’s actions, said those criticizing Trump should give him room to operate. “War virtually always ends with negotiations,” Paul wrote in a post on X. “Critics of President Trump’s peace negotiations should give President Trump the space to find an American First solution.” Trump on Saturday said the U.S. was getting close to...

The artificial embryos are made from collections of stem cells that can divide and multiply like a normal embryo but are unable to properly develop into a fetus or baby, allowing researchers to carry out their work with fewer ethical concerns. "This is not a real human embryo and does not have the ability to develop into an individual," Leqian Yu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' (CAS) Institute of Zoology who is leading the experiment, said May 14 in a CAS statement. "However, it can serve as a model for studying early human development." Two types of...

Tom Steyer was in the groove last Saturday as he prepared to court black voters in historic Leimert Park, the cultural hub of Los Angeles’s Black community. Directed by R&B singer Howard Hewitt to clap “on beat,” the billionaire Democrat stood and closed his eyes, biting his lower lip and raising his arm overhead as he swayed with the crowd. He would tell the packed room of voters that he’d been a leader in pushing for reparations for the descendants of enslaved people. He would describe the Black community as “the moral leader of the United States” for as long...

President Donald Trump reignited debate over Greenland on Saturday after posting an image to Truth Social showing himself peering over snow-covered mountains toward the Arctic island territory with the caption: "Hello Greenland." The post comes amid heightened tensions between Greenlanders and the Trump administration following the opening of a new U.S. consulate in Nuuk and a controversial visit by Trump ally and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. HUNDREDS of demonstrators gathered outside the new American diplomatic mission on Friday, chanting "Greenland is for Greenlanders" and protesting what many viewed as renewed U.S. pressure over the strategically located territory. Protest organizer Aqqalukkuluk...

I'm BAAAAACK from my trip to Spain but I almost didn't make it because yesterday I came very close to leaving this world due to suffocation at the Madrid airport and Steve Hilton was the culprit. Let me explain the background to this before revealing why I am blaming Steve Hilton for almost causing the end of ol' PJ:Our two-week trip to Spain was absolutely amazing. I could explain why in detail here but will do so in a series of videos in the near future. But as to how I almost suffocated at the Madrid airport yesterday it is...

When I think about the changes I’ve seen in this great nation over the course of my life, I’m stunned at the many bizarre deviations that have occurred right under my nose. Did I not see it coming? Was I so confident that the U.S. would always be rooted in moral values that I let down my guard? Looking back, I’m reminded of the maxim about the frog placed in a pot of comfortable room-temperature water while the heat gradually turns up until the frog is boiled alive. How many of us are so comfortable that we pay scant attention...

Usyk retreated to the corner and used Verhoeven's forward momentum against him as he landed a brutal right uppercut that floored the kickboxer and sent him halfway through the ropes from the chest up. Although Verhoeven was able to beat the count, Lyson allowed him extra time to recover as Verhoeven's corner took its time rinsing out the fallen mouthpiece, which forced the mild-mannered Usyk to complain.

If Reform UK wins the next general election, people who earn less than £75,000 ($100,000) and work overtime above a 40-hour week will pay no income tax on the extra hours. The £5bn a year tax cut announcement, made during the crucial Makerfield by-election campaign, will be seen as a direct challenge to Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester. Mr Burnham hopes to oust Sir Keir Starmer if he wins the seat. It appears to be inspired by Donald Trump’s move to scrap tax on tips and is an attempt to make it harder for Labour to define itself...

International government threatens the whole planet. People are beginning to understand that those who rule in their name have long been working to eliminate the nation-state. The United Nations is not neutral ground for national governments to discuss their differences; it is a governmental construct meant to replace national governments. The World Health Organization is not an international body meant to coordinate complex responses to global health emergencies; it is an institution vested with vast power and authority to track and regulate every human on the planet. The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank Group, and the International Monetary...

The Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening next month will bring major road closures, Secret Service security and a massive public watch party to Hyde Park and Woodlawn, foundation officials said Monday. **SNIP** While the audience expressed excitement for much of the evening, the center’s impact on free street parking drew the loudest criticisms. Ronnissa Laster, a longtime Woodlawn resident and avowed Obama supporter, said living near the construction site for years had been “terrible” for parking and worried that the opening would make things worse. Yancy, whose ward encompasses the center, acknowledged the difficulties the center had created, telling the...

A teenage girl is facing charges, including arson, after a baseball team’s tour bus was set on fire, destroying the vehicle and everything inside, according to Winnipeg police.

Multiple sources confirmed to Fox News Digital the male gunman who allegedly opened fire with a pistol Saturday near the White House in Washington, D.C., and was fatally shot by the U.S. Secret Service, has been identified as Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland. At about 6 p.m. local time, the suspect allegedly approached a Secret Service checkpoint near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers, a Secret Service spokesperson said. Best, who allegedly had prior encounters with the Secret Service and a history of mental health issues, fired about...

This Tiger has turned tail. The pot-puffing, rump-shaking homeless man called Tiger who turned Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village into his own private lair was cleared out by city authorities this week after The Post exposed his chaotic antics. The vagrant, who affixed a stuffed tiger’s tail to his behind, was evicted Saturday from his luxe encampment — which included a bed, couch, side table, and books.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is advancing quickly among Democrats, but the Constitution itself has the tools for defeating it. Advancing the latest “progressive” scheme to upend our Constitution and make the people serve the government, Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed a bill forcing Virginia to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This ruse to overturn the Electoral College, a critical safeguard that ensures equal presidential representation for all Americans, is now just 48 votes away from national implementation. The coalition seeks to force the presidential selection to be decided by popular vote alone. This would favor...
