New undercover footage shows a minister at Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico’s longtime church saying the congregation does not have “a lot of people who are religious” and describing St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church as “not a belief-based church.” In the video obtained by Texas Scorecard, Rev. Carol Johnson describes St. Andrew’s as a “sanctuary church” and says an illegal alien from Guatemala who has “worked here for 8 years” has been living inside the church. “We don’t have a lot of people who are religious here,” said Johnson. “We’re not a belief-based church. We’re a values-based church,” she added....

Explanation: This shot captured an unexpected silhouette. Which is it? It isn't the sunspots, the small dark regions caused by concentrated magnetic fields visible around the Sun's bright disk. Sunspots typically last for weeks and were expected, since these spots were seen previously. It isn’t the International Space Station (ISS), the small dark structure on the middle left. This is because the featured picture was planned with sub-second timing to record the iconic structure passing before the Sun. It is the airplane. Just as this exposure was taking place in June, from Prasek in the Czech Republic, an airplane began...

A California family gave over $4.4 million in political donations to Governor Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and other leading California politicians. And now, that family's alleged past links to infamous suspected honeypot spy Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang, and other Chinese government officials have thrust them into an ongoing debate over foreign influence in American politics. The Yin family made millions running McDonald's franchises in the Golden State — and became prolific donors to politicians, according to state and federal campaign records. Newly released FBI files about Fang describe the family patriarch Chei Chen Yin, commonly known by...

A Missouri mother who shocked America by baking her newborn daughter to death in an oven will serve just 11 years behind bars for the nightmarish crime. Mariah Thomas, 28, cut a plea deal on Tuesday, nearly three years after she was detained in Jackson County jail over for putting her one-month-old daughter Za'Riah Mae in a hot oven in February 2024. On Tuesday, records show Thomas took a plea deal on lesser charges of endangering the welfare of a child leading to death, in exchange for prosecutors dropping murder charges. At the time of the baby's death, a friend...

A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday that Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States reduces military pressure and ends its blockade of Iranian ports. The official said Tehran is seeking a formal indication from Washington that it intends to pursue a diplomatic solution, together with an agreed timetable for moving the process forward. The comments come after Iran's military central command said Sunday that it had received information indicating that the US was preparing to resume military operations with assistance from countries in the region. The Iranian military warned that such...

Step outside in the right Richardson neighborhood and you will hear it before you see it: a high-pitched whirr cutting through the afternoon. Your neighbor just ordered something from Amazon, and it will arrive in 30 minutes. The sound, according to residents under the flight paths, does not stop after one delivery. Amazon's Prime Air drone program has moved well past the pilot stage in Richardson, Texas. The gap between the company's framing and what some residents describe living beneath it has become the defining tension of the rollout, according to New York Times reporting dated September 21, 2026. How...

The biggest surgery in the history of Obamacare is about to amputate more than $2 billion in fraud. The White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, led by Vice President J.D. Vance, is cutting 760,000 individual accounts that are on the Affordable Care Act’s books, administration officials said, according to The Wall Street Journal. Vance and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, estimate canceling those accounts will save taxpayers $2.2 billion. During the Biden administration, Obamacare enrollment increased from about 10 million people to more than 22 million. A Department of Health and...

Just when staffers at CNN thought the news giant’s path to the future was becoming more clear, new fog has set in. In recent weeks, the Warner Bros. Discovery outlet appeared to have found its groove. Yes, its linear ratings are down noticeably from the era when it won notice for its aggressive coverage of President Trump’s first term, and there’s serious questions about whether they will ever come back. But the company appeared to be making some gains with digital audiences with its recently launched “CNN All Access” subscription service, where CNN has been testing new programming formats. On...

The Trump administration is proposing investing $5 billion in a fund that would help Middle East countries rebuild their energy infrastructure following the Iran War, the Wall Street Journal reported.The goal would be to have the countries reduce their reliance on the Strait of Hormuz for transporting oil and gas, the Journal reported. The U.S. would seek matching contributions from eight Middle Eastern countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, and Jordan, hoping to establish a $10 billion investment fund. The investment would be called the Partnership for Allied Trust and Construction, or Pact. Officials told...

A California Democrat’s staffer has been arrested by federal immigration authorities in Las Vegas, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Former KTSF news anchor Ho-Yin Mo, who now works for California Assemblywoman Catherine Stefani, was taken into custody Thursday at Harry Reid International Airport, the DailyMail reported. “On January 13, 2020, Mo lawfully entered the U.S. on a temporary basis but illegally overstayed his welcome by failing to depart by May 15, 2020,” DHS told the Post. “Work authorization or a pending application do NOT confer legal status in the United States.” Stefani’s office did not return the Post’s...

Christa Pike has “horrible nightmares.” Her “nerves are shredded.” In eight days, the 50-year-old who killed her friend when she was a teenager will have her worst nightmares realized inside the execution chamber in Nashville, Tennessee.

The North Dakota Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously found the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors constitutional, upholding a lower court’s ruling from last year. The 2023 law makes it a crime to prescribe puberty blockers and other treatments to adolescents. The high court’s reasoning for its decision mirrored that of South Central Judicial District Judge Jackson Lofgren, who in October 2025 rejected North Dakota pediatric endocrinologist Luis Casas’s claims that the law forces him to withhold necessary medical care from his patients.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — President Donald Trump returned to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday at a tumultuous moment for the world — and for his presidency — and made the case that he's shown fortitude while other leaders have equivocated. Watch in our video player above. The president started his address ticking off progress — including adding private sector jobs, stemming illegal migration and curbing crime before turning to a fulsome defense of his decision to start a war with Iran.

The majority of today's immigrants, particularly the illegals, appear to loathe everything about the United States except its wealth. Far too many of them are effectively saying, “We detest capitalism, your system of government, your Christian faith, Judeo-Christian values, and your culture, all of which we are zealously trying to change. But do continue to pay us and put us up so that we can live comfortably without needing to work.” Also, “We much prefer the brutality, stonings, misogyny, pedophilia, arranged marriages, and gang rape of young women (and perhaps occasionally a goat or two) to what we have found...
