The Iran-backed Houthi militia captured a strategic Red Sea port city on Thursday, according to two Yemeni officials, in a sweeping ground offensive that could give the group greater control over an important shipping route and further destabilize energy markets. The Houthis pushed out forces allied with the Yemeni government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia, to seize the city of Mokha as well as its port, according to a local official in the city and a senior provincial official. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Mokha has been...

President Trump just NUKED Radical Muslim Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed: TRUMP: "In Michigan, the Democrat nominee is Abdul El-Sayed, who brags about the fact that he wants to pack the Supreme Court with twenty-three far-left lunatic justices." "His sister—you gotta listen to this one—his sister celebrated the terrorist slaughter of babies on October 7th. She thought it was a great thing." "His sister thought it was a great day. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who follow Osama bin Laden." "And he campaigns with a Marxist agitator who says that America...

Kennedy slams Democratic Party: 'Democrats systematically obliterated the Bill of Rights' Kennedy detailed how the party "systematically" took down the Bill of Rights and reflected on how the Democratic Party of his father, Robert F.

Jan Markell and Michele Bachmann review stunning current events that were once unimaginable. Clearly, the demons are here and active. Beloved, wanted to share this report with you! All hands on deck, children of light! Be sure to check out Jan and Michele's prophetic update on the growth of demons in America. Indeed, sobering! Look how EXPONENTIALLY we have fallen! Maranatha!

“9/11” will always be remembered as one of the most horrific and catastrophic events ever in U.S. history. Amazingly, this is the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and its nationally changing event! In these last 25 years, America has EXPONENTIALLY changed socially, culturally, morally, globally, technologically, and godlessly for only the worse! It absolutely sobers the mind that such a series of horrific events actually happened in the United States of America, but in doing so it has changed America forever! All we had on that first 9/11 was to look optimistically forward and hope that America's best days may only...

Buying clothes has always been challenging for Ann Lindsay. As a plus-sized 41-year-old, she finds many stores' plus-size offerings too matronly or too expensive. Lately, it's gotten worse: Last month, she noticed that her local Target in Chicago removed plus sizes entirely. There were significantly fewer options online, too. In the pre-Covid era, big box retailers pushed inclusive sizing with fanfare. ("Whatever the tag says, you're always a size YES to us," Old Navy proclaimed in a massive campaign in 2018.) But now plus-size shoppers say inclusive sizing is dwindling, as the rise of GLP-1s fuels worries about a return...

Kim Cooper and her husband have lived in the same River North apartment for 20 years. For most of them, she said, the balcony was the best place in the neighborhood to take in the view. Not anymore. "We've seen people having sex. We've seen people defecating," Cooper said. "It can literally be just a floor of garbage. That includes needles, dirty underwear and a lot of food products, which is attracting a lot of rats." The alley Cooper looks down on runs behind her building, and she and her neighbors say it is where nearly all of the problems...

On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, join us live from the UCCU Center at UVU with Glenn Beck, Michael Knowles, Frank Turek, and more as we reflect on Charlie’s extraordinary impact, the legacy he left behind, and the countless lives he touched. Together, we’ll remember his voice, his vision, and the lasting difference he made.

Dear friends, in light of Charlie Kirk's horrific assassination one year ago, much within America has dramatically changed. Some for good, and an exponentially growing number for evil. We have first witnessed a great college campus revival in many ways, and many have come to a saving faith in Jesus because of Charlie's Gospel outreach. However, we have also seen the demonic Marxist and woke left arise and take critical theory to new heights of lawlessness, defamation, and slander. We have also seen the astounding evils and demonic fury of Candy Owens, hell-bent and demonically possessed to destroy Mrs. Kirk...

Two Hernando County Sheriff’s deputies were shot Thursday morning, Sept. 10, while serving a vice and narcotics search warrant at a home on Coral Street in Spring Hill. As deputies approached the home around 5 a.m. with their lights and sirens activated, they announced their presence. Anthony Cusati, 29, then began firing at deputies through the door. Sheriff Al Nienhuis said, deputies did not immediately return fire. “Fortunately for him, and he is very lucky, he needs to thank his lucky stars, the deputies could not see him. They did not return fire,” Nienhuis said. K-9 Deputy Jonathan Alion was...

They’re getting a helping hand. The Russian Orthodox Church sent fragments of a medieval prince’s hand to soldiers in the frontlines as a means to raise morale and provide “spiritual strength” to end the war. The church, which backs Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, said it dispatched a fragment of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy’s sword hand to soldiers in the occupied region of Donetsk. The Moscow ⁠Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church said sending the prince’s remains served as a symbol to allow the so-called “holy commander” to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Moscow’s invading army. “A fragment of the...

An incredibly bloody and horrific crime occurred earlier this week in Texas that could have been avoided had authorities done their job. As FOX 7 Austin reported, 62-year-old Andrew James Wimsatt, an accomplished civil engineer who published several notable works, was seen in video footage obtained from a neighborhood HOA sitting on a park bench in Round Rock at roughly 10:55 a.m. on September 7. Then his life ended a few minutes later. The footage goes on to show a black male with a knife in his hand sneaking up behind Wimsatt. The black person proceeds to stab Wimsatt multiple...

All 12 members of the jury have finally spoken out about the Lindsay Clancy case and how they really felt about the other jurors.

Joe diGenova, the prosecutor who was tapped by Attorney General Todd Blanche to supervise the "grand conspiracy" investigation targeting Obama- and Biden-era officials, abruptly resigned on Thursday. In a brief call with CBS News, diGenova said he had turned in his resignation letter to Blanche at 3 p.m. on Thursday. "It was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department," he said. He added that his wife, attorney Victoria Toensing, who also worked with the team of federal prosecutors in Fort Pierce, Florida, will be leaving the Justice Department on Friday. diGenova declined to comment on...

Iryna Rybakova is horribly aware that the front line is inching toward Kramatorsk. Having served in eastern Ukraine for several years, she has watched her units being pushed from one strategic hub after another. But she said the past few weeks have been “insane.” The city remains one of Ukraine’s last strongholds in the Donbas region, but the Russians are getting dangerously close. Nearly all of the city’s bridges have been destroyed, and barrages of guided bombs and drones are now a daily reality. “The attacks happen dozens of times a day. Dozens of cars, utility buildings, residential buildings, administrative...

A group of Cuban doctors claim they were effectively sold into slavery by their country’s regime and are asking for $129 million in damages in a lawsuit. The legal filing says 3,500 doctors were sent to Brazil between 2013 and 2018 and claims the Cuban regime earned more than $2.3 billion for their services but paid them “a small fraction” — less than 10 percent — of their earnings. The doctors, now living in the US, claim that when dispatched abroad they were never informed 90 percent of their wages would go to the Cuban government. They also say that...
