Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for years has publicly said he’s a physician — but there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s had no experience as a licensed medical doctor. This April, he gave an interview to a local TV journalist where he talked up his credentials as a physician multiple times. In March, he told a group of Teamsters nurses that he had “been in enough codes to watch who really does the work” and said that same month on a podcast that “I’ve been a doctor my whole career.” His LinkedIn profile currently says he’s a “physician,” and late...

Let's check in on our "devout Catholic" former president, and see how well he's Catholic-ing today.

Biden delivered remarks at Planned Parenthood of Delaware's 22nd Annual Chocolate & Champagne Gala in Claymont, Delaware, on Thursday. Before the former president spoke, former first lady Jill Biden presented her husband with the Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award.According to a Facebook post by Delaware Planned...

The ax required by regulators is intended for emergencies but puts a weapon in reach for attackersDUBAI—A central mystery of this week’s attempted downing of FlyDubai Flight 1073 has been how the co-pilot managed to smuggle a weapon into the plane to carry out his attack. It turns out he didn’t. The weapon he used is a cockpit fixture. United Arab Emirates authorities said Saturday the co-pilot attacked his captain with the plane’s crash ax—a tool that regulators around the world require airplanes to carry.Designed for use as an emergency tool to tear through metal in case of a fire...

Naloxone is a medication commonly used to reverse or reduce the impact of an opioid overdose in people, and Dayna Slater of GCCRS says the crows they are helping are centred in an area of town where illicit...

In the aftermath of two devastating hurricanes, then-Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s administration steered some $100 million in disaster funding toward affordable housing projects — despite hundreds of storm victims stuck in temporary homes, according to an analysis. Under Cooper’s watch, the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR) sent $100 million for affordable housing as the $1 billion agency was suffering from a gaping budget shortfall, an analysis by the John Locke Foundation, a free-market think tank in the state, found. One of the affordable housing projects, Starway Village, was a $9 million 278-unit complex that opened...

A federal judge blocked the Education Department on Thursday from releasing a list of foreign donors to Harvard, Columbia and other top US universities — ruling that the disclosure of the confidential information could “constitute irreparable harm.” DC US District Judge Tanya Chutkan slapped the temporary restraining order on the Trump administration as it was seeking to publish a list of all foreign donors who have given up to $5.2 billion to the universities since 2020. So-called non-natural person entities accounted for the vast majority of the $5.2 billion, officials noted, rather than individual donors. “This would be a foreign...

The Democrat Party is co-opting its socialist insurgents to defeat Trump and the GOP—but inviting ideological extremists into the fold could threaten the party’s future. This is the final installment of a two-part series. The first installment can be found here. Like Germany’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), America’s center-left Democrat Party faces a challenge from its extreme flank. Unlike the CDU, which has abandoned its past strategy and adopted one of confrontation, the Democrat Party is sticking with its strategy of co-option—not fusion—with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). But will the Democrat Party’s strategy prove any more successful...

Vance has said he will wait until after the midterms before deciding whether to run in 2028. Vance declined to speculate about whether a poor Republican showing could discourage him from running.

How the British people gave up their own country, their future, and the narrative of their past. The Thames and the Tower of London (Samuel Scott, 1771). With intellectual clarity and courage, Soviet-born British podcaster Konstantin Kisin has challenged the common claim that Britain has always experienced high-volume immigration and is inherently a “nation of immigrants.” He notes that the post-1066 Norman conquest added only 5,000–10,000 individuals from mainland Europe to the ruling class—a number that pales, both numerically and proportionally, next to modern net migration figures running in the hundreds of thousands annually. The unprecedented transformation of Britain’s demographic...
