White House officials have denied a report that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles pressed Attorney General Todd Blanche to hold off on abortion-related Justice Department actions until after the 2026 midterm elections. Pro-life leaders said any such delay would leave unborn children on a political calendar while abortion pills continue to end their lives every day. Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com The Washington Sun reported Oct. 2 that senior White House officials, led by Wiles, told Blanche in a series of discussions to move slowly on abortion-related actions before November.

This is perfect for a Sign to wave in the Streets. “Iranian Army endorsed Democrats to give them power” In a letter posted by our good friends at TIME Magazine and the American and foreign media, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has penned an open letter to Americans, calling on U.S. civilians to “wrest control back from corrupt politicians.” The Iranians, who tried to produce nuclear bombs to destroy America, are asking Americans to vote for Democrats so they can finish the job. Something like Hitler advising America to concentrate on beating Japan and leave the European Theater comes...

Healthcare is facing a wave of high-stakes litigation that could redefine drug pricing, insurance oversight, health technology competition, AI deployment, labor policy and public health regulation. The cases span nearly every corner of the industry, with courts increasingly serving as the venue where major policy disputes are decided. Together, these legal fights will influence how healthcare is paid for, regulated and delivered in the years ahead. From 340B drug pricing and Medicare Advantage star ratings to competition, antitrust claims against Epic Systems and patient privacy disputes, courts are increasingly becoming the battleground for some of healthcare's biggest policy and business...

On Monday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish pulled two pro-Democrat tricks. First, she tried to minimize the history of a pollster showing Trump losing Iowa to Kamala, but then going on to win by double digits. Second, she tried to passively lump in possible Democratic Party losses in with possible Republican ones. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The sale of Lukoil's international assets, worth around $20 billion, has moved from sanctions policy into the talks between Washington and Moscow, with a Boehly-led consortium backed by Gulf investors and a US state agency challenging Carlyle's earlier agreement. Lukoil announced an agreement to sell its international assets to the American group Carlyle on January 29, 2026, following US sanctions issued in 2025. American investor Todd Boehly has assembled a new consortium, including Gulf investors and the US International Development Finance Corporation, to compete for the acquisition. The sale involves energy assets worth approximately $20 to $22 billion, including oil...

The Red-Green alliance of leftists and Muslims is staging a show of force, rioting in the streets of France. Pay attention, we’re next. The riots in France last week stand as a warning to the United States and all western countries: mass immigration will split your country in two, and the two sides will eventually go to war. The unrest, which quickly spread from the suburbs of Paris to encompass much of the country, were a stark contrast to the scenes just a few days earlier when Pope Leo XIV drew massive crowds at every stop on his four-day...

In yet another highly unsettling case of a parent murdering their own children, a father in Florida reportedly killed his teenage twins before taking his own life. 63-year-old Ivan Montiel Roa was found dead along with his teenage son and daughter inside their Orlando apartment last week.

yet. Thumbnail Trump bypassed Congress to send $90 to Medicare seniors and $500 to some ACA enrollees. Democrats question the legality of both payments. (Scripps News) Is it legal? Trump promises Medicare and ACA checks ahead of midterm elections Trump By: Joe St. George Posted 1 hour and 42 minutes ago President Trump announced that more than 20 million seniors on Medicare will soon receive a direct deposit of nearly $100, drawing Democratic criticism and questions about whether the payments — made without congressional approval — are legal.

Boulder, Colorado, has spent decades wearing a nickname most towns would take as an insult: “The People's Republic of Boulder.” It’s a college town of roughly 100,000 people, where the politics climb about as high as … the elevation. But now Boulder wants to export its “Rocky Mountain High,” and it’s headed to the Supreme Court. At stake before SCOTUS is whether that town gets to set energy policy for the rest of America. That’s the real question in Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, no matter how carefully supporters dress it up. In 2018, the City...

The fortified hilltop settlement of Spišský Štvrtok is one of the most significant sites of the earlier prehistory of central Europe. It dates to the transitional period between the Early and the Middle Bronze Age with a cultural affiliation to the Otomani-Füzesabony culture, c. 1700–1500 b.c.

For many Okinawa locals, the arrest of a US soldier accused of robbing and killing a woman in a hotel room has reignited decades of frustration over crimes involving US military personnel there. "Honestly my first reaction was, 'Not again,'" 52-year-old longtime Okinawa resident Ai Sato told the BBC. "Nothing has changed since I was a child. How many times are we going to repeat the same thing, create more victims, cause their families to suffer, and ultimately, cause the people of Okinawa to grieve?" Akemi Oshiro, a 62-year-old Ginowan resident shared similar sentiments. "I know we shouldn't get used...

Washington — Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was jailed for violating banking laws, has died, a coroner in Illinois said. He was 84. Both the longest-serving Republican House speaker and the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to serve a prison sentence, Hastert's stunning fall from grace came in 2016, when he was sentenced to 15 months in prison on charges related to his concealment of hush money payments made to cover up his sexual abuse of teenage boys during his time as a high school wrestling coach. Kendall County Coroner...

Yemeni government forces claimed on Monday to have retaken control of key positions near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a vital chokepoint for global trade, as they launch a renewed campaign to roll back recent gains made by the Iran-backed Houthi movement. Military spokesperson Majid Al-Nuzaili claimed on X that government forces “have succeeded in controlling Bab al-Mandeb,” adding that they have “cut off” and taken control of the road between Dhubab district, which overlooks Bab al-Mandeb, and the port town of Mocha, previously seized by the Houthis. CNN hasn’t independently verified the claim. Forces, which are backed by Saudi Arabia,...

Iran’s worsening economic crisis has opened an increasingly bitter argument over who is responsible, as the government points to outside pressure and market psychology while hardliners accuse Tehran’s own economic officials of making the situation worse. On Thursday, the end of Iran’s market week, the rial fell to another record low. Year-on-year inflation has reached almost 90 percent, with food prices rising even faster. The deterioration comes as US sanctions and a naval blockade squeeze Iran’s sources of revenue. The blockade has severely constrained oil exports, while Washington on Thursday expanded sanctions into the automotive and rail sectors, targeting some...

No, we don’t want Canada as a 51st state; yes, we want to trade with you; and yes, your Prime Minister is on a crazed personal vendetta that could destroy you. Have you tried listening to Canadian podcasts? Once in a while, I do, and we can conclude that Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well north of the border. It’s comical, but it sadly represents what they are thinking up there. The problem is that the Canadian political class is barking up the wrong trees. I agree that President Trump took the “51st state” joke too far, but the...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a Venezuelan national who was previously released by a New York City judge after he was charged with emerging from a Manhattan sewer. The man was reportedly part of the “mole man” trend, where individuals look for valuables in the sewer system. 25-year-old Samuel Reveron Ascanio was taken into ICE custody after being released. ICE said Reveron entered the country illegally and had a federal arrest warrant at the time of his September 24 arrest. The case started when the NYPD received a 911 call reporting three men emerging from a manhole in Manhattan....
