Bosnia is in Canada on Friday, but played a friendly down in St. Louis over the weekend. Needless to say, they'll be more than ready to leave Canada behind and head out to Los Angeles and Seattle for their second and third games of the...

A Minnesota bakery owner from a multigenerational Christian family is offering an alternative to pride month and celebrating the biblical model of family life through special doughnut and coffee sales. Joshua Streblow, owner of Carl’s Bakery in Granite Falls, Minnesota, said the monthlong promotion celebrates "the beauty of God’s design and the beauty of God’s declared word with respect to these designs.” “We want to see all that God has said is good, true, and beautiful, celebrated in every sphere of life. And that includes our own business, that includes on Main Street in which we live and participate, and...

Claire Brosseau survived multiple suicide attempts. Now, she wants the Canadian health care system to help facilitate her death. Brosseau is seeking what The New York Times referred to as “medical aid in dying” (MAID), “an end-of-life option that allows certain eligible individuals to legally request and obtain medications from their physician to end their life in a peaceful, humane, and dignified manner,” according to Death With Dignity, an advocacy group. At age eight, Brosseau made a journal entry that she wished to die. At age 14, her lifestyle included drinking, doing drugs, and having sex while a student in...

BLUF: Congress is quietly moving beyond supporting Israel and toward legally embedding Israel into America’s defense and intelligence architecture. Through Section 224 of the FY27 NDAA and Section 622 of the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act, lawmakers are creating institutional ties that future presidents may find difficult to unwind. The real issue is not intelligence sharing itself—which already exists—but whether Congress should permanently codify a strategic relationship that previous administrations deliberately kept flexible. As younger Americans increasingly question traditional U.S.-Israel policies, these measures appear designed to ensure that future political shifts cannot fundamentally alter the partnership. (snip) US intelligence, when dealing...

Over the years, I’ve read a lot of stories written from the pro-abortion perspective. How? Primarily by understanding the mechanisms they use to shield themselves from what they are doing to hapless unborn babies. It’s a very grim reminder of what we are up against. It’s not unusual to be lectured that snuffing out the lives of preborn babies is liberating/fulfilling/empowering. But “What I Learned From My Four Abortions” takes aggressive self-deception to a new level. You would expect nothing less from the Rewire News Group. It specializes in pushing abortion advocacy to the outer limits under the guise of...

Nobody had a bigger night on Saturday night than Jalen Brunson. His 45-point performance in Game 5 locked down the NBA Finals MVP and the Knicks championship. A close second in the running for the biggest night is a Spurs fan in a Dennis Rodman jersey. He went on a one-man mission in New York to find any celebrating Knicks fan who wanted a piece. Most people moved out of the way as if he had some sort of invisible force field around him, but he did have a few Knicks fans take him up on the offer. Surprisingly, he...

An adviser to Iran’s supreme leader said Tehran would teach the attackers a “regrettable lesson” in defense of Lebanon after Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday. “Neither the American diplomatic smile is trustworthy, nor is Israel’s savagery tolerable!" Mohammad Mokhber said on X. "We will teach the aggressors a lesson they will regret,” he added.

Art reflects reality with this song about the UK. People have had enough, they're done apologizing or worrying about the "racist" label. Not my usual "cup of tea" music genre but the lyrics hit hard and matches the sentiment & emotion of many in the UK....boiling point, every day.

Vice President JD Vance, in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” said he and his wife, Usha Vance, will discuss a 2028 presidential run after this year’s midterm elections. “Usha and I will absolutely sit down and talk about what comes next for our family,” Vance told CBS. “The way I make decisions is I try not to make them until I absolutely must.” He said he expects President Donald Trump to be “very supportive” of his eventual decision. “I have no doubt that the president of the United States is going to be very supportive of anything that I...

This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace. With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World! President DONALD J. TRUMP

NBA champion and 18-year veteran Trevor Ariza has left fans shocked after detailing his precarious financial position in the wake of a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife. Ariza, who was drafted by the Knicks and won a ring with the Lakers in 2009, made an eyewatering $116 million during his career, but now his money troubles have been laid bare in court four years after he hung up his cleats. While many would perhaps have expected a player of his caliber to be set for life, Ariza - now 40 - made just $2,316 last month as a trainer...

The main headline of Sunday’s Yediot Aharonot, a popular Hebrew daily, summed up in two words the prevailing sentiment in Israel over President Trump’s emerging cease-fire agreement with Iran: “Bad Deal.” Israel waged two wars against Iran in the past year, the most recent one the campaign launched in late February with U.S. forces. Now Israel, which had not been a party to the Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran, is being left out of the potential peace... Even before the announcement came on Sunday that a cease-fire agreement had been reached, the details that had surfaced in news media reports...

On Saturday's edition of The Weekend: Primetime, co-host Elise Jordan casually dropped a jaw-dropping detail about one of the network's own: "Our senior producer Johanna questions it [the Moon landing.]" In the same segment, co-host Ayman Mohyeldin unleashed extreme economic catastrophizing, claiming, "People can't eat. People can't afford anything in this country. People can't afford their food." Mohyeldin slammed Elon Musk, claiming he is "celebrating having broken this kind of grotesque record of becoming man's first trillionaire." Mohyeldin painted SpaceX as "this company that is super inflated, nobody knows anything about, people don't understand what even SpaceX actually does." Actually,...

This video features commentary on a report by Fareed Zakaria on CNN regarding the economic and governance challenges facing California.
