Colombia is ushering in a new era of conservative immigration policies after its citizens elected a Right-wing president to replace the country’s previous far-Left leader. Newly elected Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said Sunday that he would commence immigration raids across the country as early as this week, according to the Associated Press. The conservative Latin American leader, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, said national immigration authorities, with the help of the Colombian police, will begin the operation by targeting illegal immigrants who are “committing crimes” before nabbing those who lack immigration status, according to the AP....

What's the impact of an ad? It's a question making the rounds in many circles as backlash grows over a 15-second spot created by Frisco-based Good Good Golf to showcase a new co-branded driver from equipment maker Callaway. The ad begins with one of the founders of Good Good, Garrett Clark, shoulder-checking a female golfer, another Good Good staffer, Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I golfer, to the ground. "I felt nauseous," The Family Place CEO Tiffany Tate said. "That was my first gut-level reaction when I saw the ad." The ad concludes with the Good Good content creator standing...

Caitlin Clark made the WNBA rich, but its players seem determined to destroy the league by turning women’s basketball into a violent spectacle. A better name for the current Women’s National Basketball League (WNBA) might be Women’s Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), given the growing performance-art violence that is now endemic in the league. Prior to the 2024 arrival of then-22-year-old Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark, very few people watched the WNBA. Team franchises were worth less than $20 million. The league ran chronic deficits and was subsidized by the men’s professional basketball league, the National Basketball Association (NBA). An unspoken subtext of...

Barbara Boyd does a solid job connecting the recent U.S-Canada trade friction to the globalist plans of Mark Carney in alignment with the European Union. The goal is to create and maintain broad opposition to the geopolitical reset underway as an outcome of President Trump’s larger and nationalistic economic agenda.This is worth the watch as many of the background happenings are interconnected, yet few people are putting it all together. Barbara Boyd argues that the most dangerous escalation is the proxy war with Russia, highlighting Russia’s warning that direct British involvement in strikes on Russian territory could make Britain a...

A Pentagon official on Wednesday claimed to have discovered classified documents that concern the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan five years ago, but the official declined to offer further details. Sean Parnell, who leads the Pentagon's special review panel examining the 2021 withdrawal, said in a video statement that his team recovered "highly relevant classified documents" that were "stashed and hidden away in safes where they would not be found." Parnell said the material should have been disclosed, and a review his team conducted revealed why someone would try to hide them. He said his team is conducting a thorough review...

Call it pay for pray. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will appear at a "clergy round table" this week with a black Detroit pastor to whom the El-Sayed campaign has quietly paid $82,500 for "strategic consulting," part of a gambit to help the far-left Democrat shore up his anemic support from black voters. Horace Sheffield, the pastor of New Destiny Christian Fellowship and father of Detroit's mayor, will host the event with El-Sayed at his church on Wednesday. The Ecumenical Ministers Alliance, Sheffield's nonprofit, is listed as an organizer of the event. It comes as El-Sayed and Sheffield have faced...

I noticed a discrepancy between a NASA public relations web page and the NASA Horizons App, which models the trajectories of solar system celestial objects. I wrote to NASA twice, once to an online generic "ask NASA" page and once an email to individuals at NASA with cognizance of the issues. I know NASA get a lot of crank emails, and understand why they do not have time to reply to all of them. I am not convinced my email is a crank missive. Read it and tell me what you think. I am most reluctant to criticize NASA, but...

Tom Brady came home. California thanked him the only way it knows how. A little more than a week after the seven-time Super Bowl champion cut the ribbon at CardVault by Tom Brady in Palo Alto, somebody put a rock through the glass. Then they put a rock through the cases. Then they walked out with about 60 trading cards worth more than $12,000 and vanished into a state that has spent a decade teaching thieves they can vanish. Palo Alto police say the break-in hit the shop at Town & Country Village, 855 El Camino Real, around 12:30 a.m....

EXCLUSIVE: A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital. "Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the...

It would probably be pretty alarming to learn that, in the early 1980s, scientists decided to drop off a bunch of gophers at the site of a volcanic eruption. But don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In fact, according to a report from the University of California, this particular gopher-volcano encounter proved to be such a net positive that its effects are still being felt 43 years later. It starts with the eruption of Mount St. Helens in May of 1980. It was the most destructive volcanic event in American history, claiming 57 lives and causing staggering...

Q1. Why does Europe need the digital euro? In a world where digital payments are rapidly becoming the norm, the use of cash is declining and the shift towards online shopping is accelerating. The digital euro would be a digital form of cash, giving consumers access to central bank money in digital form, complementing banknotes and coins. The digital euro would make people’s lives easier by providing something that does not currently exist: a digital means of payment universally accepted throughout the euro area, for payments in shops, online or from person to person. Like cash, the digital euro would...

Mehdi Rahimi, head of the Iranian parliament's Khaneh Mellat news agency, told the channel that "Iran has received an invitation to join the Mecca Agreement, and the matter is under review."

The three-time Tony Award-nominated icon was best known for his eccentric characters, his musical background, and his comedic chops, leading to a varied and successful career in cult classics and box office hits.

The left told them that only anger against perceived injustices creates meaning and happiness, and they’ll destroy everything in their paths to achieve those goals. Recently, Peachy Keenan, the pseudonym of a well-known cultural commentator, writer, and critic of modern feminism, asked a question on her X account that succinctly summarizes the state of American feminism and the white liberal woman: Why are so many women sooo angry? They won. They got everything they wanted. Men have never been doing this badly, and women have never been doing this well. They make more, they have the majority of jobs, they...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a record high of more than 800 people without criminal records a day in July on average, new federal data shows. The surge in arrests comes as the White House pushes the agency to hit a target of 2,000 per day. July is the first month in President Trump's second term when people with only civil immigration violations — rather than pending criminal charges or convictions — made up more than half of those arrested. An average of more than 1,580 people were arrested each day in July, also a new high for the current...
