A federal judge in St. Louis on Tuesday ordered Missouri to use the gerrymandered congressional map drawn during a 2025 special session, giving a direction to Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and other election officials in conflict with a Missouri Supreme Court order.

New Yorkers are debating whether or not it is appropriate for Mayor Zohran Mamdani to attend the ceremonies commemorating the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America on Sept. 11, 2001. But, like the one about his boycott of the city’s annual “Israel Day” parade, most of the arguments miss the point. The presence of a politician who has cheered on other Islamist terrorists in his career may be unwelcome to many of the families of the victims, and to other New Yorkers and Americans. But just as there was no way to force him to honor Israel by...

U.S. President Donald Trump attributed the ​win of Germany's far-right Alternative for ‌Germany (AfD) party in a state election to existing immigration ​rules and regulations ​that he cast as "horrible." "Wow! The ⁠Populist Party in Germany ​just had a really big ​night. They finally got tired of the absolutely horrible Immigration ​rules and regulations which ​have hurt Germany so badly," Trump ‌wrote ⁠on Truth Social on Tuesday. The AfD surged into first place in state ​elections in ​Saxony-Anhalt ⁠on Sunday, putting a far-right party within ​reach of power ​at ⁠the state level for the first time since ⁠World ​War Two.

Germany will send Patriot air defence missiles to Ukraine from its national ​stocks, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Tuesday, warning that ‌Russia was likely to intensify its air campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure as winter approaches. Speaking at a videoconference of nations supporting Ukraine, Pistorius said he had decided to "deliver urgently" additional PAC-2 ​interceptor missiles. Patriot missiles are currently the only effective defence against Russian ​ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine, officials say. "Since Russia is only ⁠advancing very slowly at the front line, it is trying to destroy ​Ukraine's economic base and critical infrastructure by way of air raids...

Taxpayers did not volunteer to underwrite Assemblyman Jackson’s nonprofitCalifornia Assemblyman Dr. Corey Jackson (D-Moreno Valley), who received his Masters in Social Work, founded and directs the nonprofit Center Against Racism and Trauma (CART), which has only been tax-exempt since February 2022. Earlier this year, he named CART his legislative district’s “Nonprofit of the Year” and then steered $6 million of California taxpayer funding to it, the Globe just reported recently.Here is the proof of this $6 million going to Jackson’s charity, courtesy of the FLOOR REPORT OF THE 2026-27 BUDGET: Rather than acknowledge the obvious nefarious funding with taxpayer money,...

Michelle Obama remains in love with the Balearic Islands, where she travels every year in style. Her love affair leads her to enjoy the emerald waters, the interior corners, and the sophisticated (and expensive) Mediterranean lifestyle she discovered in the gardens of Marivent, when in a distant August of 2010 she had lunch at the Mallorcan palace with the (then) princess Letizia and they hit it off. The chemistry of high politics and the globalist slogan progressivism has been gradually replaced over the years by leisure and royal-like disconnection, which Obama practices in the archipelago surrounded by all comforts, relying...

Next season of ABC’s late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will be the last, Page Six is told. “His contract is not getting extended,” a source familiar with the situation explained. The season begins Tuesday and would wrap up, after 24 years on the air, in May 2027. A spokesperson for ABC Entertainment told us, “[This] information is inaccurate — any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative.” Kimmel takes pride in signing year-to-year deals, which are rare in the TV biz and allow him unusual flexibility. The news comes on the heels of Rosie...

PORT ORANGE, Florida (WESH) -- Video released by the Port Orange Police Department shows officers firing more than a dozen times at a 71-year-old woman who showed up armed with a gun. Surveillance video shows the woman, Linda Jean Croteau, walking into the lobby of the station holding the gun and firing it one time. She then exited the front lobby and was confronted by officers who were responding to the scene. She is told to drop the weapon but does not comply. An officer fires three times, and Croteau falls to the ground. She sits up, appears to reach...

American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers near Kharg Island and Jask on Tuesday as the US added military might to its economic squeeze of the Islamic Republic. US Central Command said in a statement that it carried out the strikes that downed five Iranian crude oil carriers in response to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) targeting of an American warship with ballistic missiles in the last two days. That US warship evaded the Iranian attacks and no American personnel were harmed, per CENTCOM. But the IRGC lost its crude oil carriers “M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T Horizon 1,...

Shocked villagers have uncovered the Government asked for assessments to place more than 3,500 male migrants at a former MoD base which would have left residents outnumbered 10 to one. The ex-MoD Bicester Site A storage depot has been earmarked by the Home Office to house at least 1,256 male asylum seekers. The staggering numbers already dwarf the population of the neighbouring village of Piddington, Oxfordshire, which is home to just 350 people. But now a tranche of newly-released government planning documents includes an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) risk assessment, which states “the proposed scheme” relates to “accommodation for 3,510 service...

The US Labor Department has suspended Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.’s ability to file new applications for permanent labour certification, adding to scrutiny of the Indian IT services company’s use of US employment-visa programmes. The suspension will prevent Cognizant from making fresh PERM filings until the department completes an investigation into alleged fraud involving the company’s H-1B and PERM programmes, the department said. The probe follows complaints from whistleblowers alleging wrongdoing in Cognizant’s use of the immigration programmes. Cognizant did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The department’s inspector general, Anthony D’Esposito, said on X that the agency was...

The Argentine government has said that it will file criminal charges against oil company Navitas Petroleum for operating in seas off the Falkland Islands. The move came just days after Argentine President Javier Milei said he would sanction oil companies drilling in the British overseas territory in the south-west Atlantic Ocean. Sovereignty of the archipelago remains disputed between the UK and Argentina more than 40 years after a British military task force ejected Argentine forces which had invaded the territory in 1982. Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, McNeill said that "the decision by the Falkland Islands government...

It was Christmas Day when Annie decided she was going to leave her husband. There had been no blowout fight, no infidelity, not even a borderline offensively thoughtless Christmas gift. But Annie had seen something she couldn’t unsee. “Episode Six: The Cottage. That was the turning point,” says Annie, a 38-year-old teacher. “I remember just sitting there thinking, This is so far from my reality.” Nine months after it aired in the U.S., where it averaged over 10.6 million viewers per episode, the influence of Heated Rivalry has only grown, so much so that it has begun to infiltrate a...

US Central Command forces executed strikes on multiple Iranian oil tankers near Iran's oil export hub of Kharg Island on Tuesday amid the ongoing US blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and campaign to cripple Iran's economy. Fox's Jennifer Griffin reported that several US defense officials confirmed that US Central Command is "carrying out airstrikes right now against targets near Kharg Island, as well as Jask." The targets include Iranian oil tankers, as part of "an ongoing effort to squeeze Iran economically," she said, noting that officials say this is not a new phase involving the deployment of ground troops....
