Tokyo on Saturday will mark one year since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks about the possibility of a Japanese military intervention in a Taiwan crisis triggered a diplomatic rupture with Beijing — a rift that shows few signs of closing as the two sides remain stubbornly at odds. The ongoing dispute between China and Japan began following Takaichi’s remarks in parliament on Nov. 7, 2025, that the Self-Defense Forces could be deployed under the right to collective self-defense in “worst-case” scenarios, such as a Chinese naval blockade of Taiwan, which the prime minister said could constitute a “survival-threatening situation” for...

Three elderly people were found dead in a bloody scene at a New Jersey home after a postal worker discovered a chilling note on the front door, according to authorities. The three bodies were tragically discovered at a home in Mount Holly on Friday, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office announced in a Facebook post. A postal worker called cops after finding a note on the front door indicating that 911 should be called, according to prosecutors. The disturbing note, which was heavily taped to the door, read “9-1-1 Inside” with horrifying drawings of two unhappy faces with ‘X’s for eyes,...

Missouri State Representative Anthony Ealy, Jr., was arrested on Wednesday after being reelected. According to the incident report, just before 11:30 a.m., police were called to an apartment in Jefferson City, Missouri, after it was reported that Ealy had trespassed and threatened a woman and her husband. The report says Ealy threatened the woman’s husband – saying something about a gun then telling him “I’m going to kill you.” The Jefferson City Police Department said multiple witnesses reported a man yelling and causing a scene outside a nearby business. Ealy appeared to be having a panic attack and mental health...

….Reagan became the dominant political personality of the 1980s, defeating incumbent President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and winning a 49-state landslide reelection in 1984. He was able to carry in a majority for Republicans in the Senate and establish a kind of working majority in the House with the aid of conservative Democrats in that chamber. On the strength of those elections, restrained only marginally by the midterm elections of 1982, Reagan began his second term on top of the world. But he soon learned how hard that height can be to hold. As he neared his second midterm, Democrats...

Michigan Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed’s Wikipedia page was quietly whitewashed over the past few months by a mysterious editor, including scrubbing a series of antisemitism controversies, according to social media sleuths. The editor — who goes by “CopyleftEverything” — is also responsible for dozens of other edits to pages on the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the American Communist Party and the Revolutionary Communists of America. The editor was “diligent in what appears to be a clean-up of El-Sayed’s page” heading into Tuesday’s general election where the radical Dem defeated Republican Mike Rogers, according to investigative journalist Ashley Rindsberg. Both Rindsberg,...

Terrified shoppers and tourists dived for cover this afternoon after a drive-by gunman went on a deadly shooting rampage in a packed city square. At least five people have been killed and around a dozen others left injured in the historic Main Market Square of Krakow, Poland, Małopolska Police confirmed. Panic erupted at around 3pm local time when a man drove onto the bustling square and began "firing at random people from his car", the force announced in a statement posted to X. Kr The shooter was shot by armed police and rushed to hospital, officers said. Two police officers...

There’s no reason to celebrate bacon, according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The group wants Easton to cancel PA Bacon Fest this weekend and replace it with a celebration for a healthy food like hazelnuts, cherries or chestnuts. Processed meats like bacon contribute to colorectal cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in young people, according to a statement from the Washington D.C.-based health advocacy group.

Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa told reporters Thursday that she had requested a postponement of any action on the potential sale of Boca Chica State Park to Elon Musk’s SpaceX until after she takes office in January. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission was slated to discuss the possible sale of the state park to SpaceX on Thursday. Texas Monthly first reported on the proposed deal last month. However, the agenda item was removed at Hinojosa’s request, she said. “It’s such an important resource,” Hinojosa said of the state park. “The Valley is so important to me as the place I am...

Alyona’s waters broke in her hometown of Kramatorsk, 10km from the front line. The city has no functioning maternity ward, so an ambulance took her to Sloviansk, a short drive under a canopy of anti-drone netting. Complications then forced her to make an hours-long trip to Kharkiv, where on October 8th she gave birth to a son. That hospital had its dangers too: during air raids mothers and newborns are rushed to a bunker. But it was safer than Kramatorsk, where on the same day a Russian bomb killed 30 people.

Registrations are up 2.2% from the last major general election in November 2024, and up 2% from primary elections in March, according to a Friday release from the Texas Secretary of State. The latest figures are also 7.7% higher than the number of voters registered ahead of the last midterm election in November 2022. Fast-growing suburban counties saw some of the biggest growths since the last midterms, including Kaufman (27% more registered voters), Waller (23%), Ellis (21%) and Hays (21%). While state data for Tarrant County, a battleground county, showed a 2.6% drop in voter registrations since November 2022, county...

Here in the U.S., with few exceptions, we have a commendable tradition that victorious politicians do not use the criminal justice system to prosecute or otherwise disable their rivals and adversaries. At the presidential level, before Trump the two most prominent examples against that tradition were the prosecution of Aaron Burr by Thomas Jefferson in 1807, and the prosecution of Eugene Debs by Woodrow Wilson in 1918. Otherwise, our defeated presidential candidates have gone peacefully to retirement. But then, after Trump was defeated in 2020, that tradition was abrogated in rather spectacular fashion. At both the federal and state levels,...

Two socialist mayors were elected in the United States on Tuesday in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. which now means that four of the top 20 largest cities in the country have socialist leaders at the helm. Los Angeles Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) defeated incumbent mayor Karen Bass and will take office in December as mayor for the roughly 4 million residents of Los Angeles proper. Also victorious on Tuesday was DSA member Janeese Lewis George who coasted to victory to become mayor-elect of Washington, D.C., a city of roughly 700,000 residents....

Where, we must ask, in the Constitution have the People given government the power to ignore or abolish any unalienable right? he Supreme Court has granted cert to two cases—Viramontes and Grant—which involve bans on the most popular semiautomatic, centerfire rifle in America, the AR-15. There are, thus far, 87 amicus—friend of the court—briefs. Among them is one by Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, who was elected despite averring that he’d like his opponent shot dead. He is, of course, an anti-liberty/gun cracktivist, and a particularly poorly informed one, or a liar, perhaps both: For example: He kicks off the...

Democrat lawmakers are losing it so badly over Stephen Miller’s new role that it’s bringing some of them to tears. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Friday afternoon announced that his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, will be moved to another role. He also revealed that Miller will now serve as his Chief of Staff. This is the first major ‘Cabinet-rank’ shakeup since the Democrats swept the midterm elections on Tuesday. “I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (11/5/26)[Prayer]The Scriptures in Handel's Messiah Malachi 3:22 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: Holy Bible, The King James Version _________________________________________

There’s a very important lesson to be gleaned here, with history as our teacher. Boris Bazhanov, Joseph Stalin’s former secretary, in his book, “The Memoirs of Stalin’s Former Secretary”, claimed that in 1923 Stalin said, “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how: but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.” While some historians believe that Stalin betrayed Marxist ideals by focusing on “socialism in one country,” others say he followed Marxist ideology well, pointing to a time in 1936 where the Communist Party gave three more votes to a...

"By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain" (Heb 11:4). True worship requires coming to God on His terms. At the heart of every false religion is the notion that man can come to God by any means he chooses—by meditating, doing good deeds, and so on. But Scripture says, "There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). That name is Jesus Christ, and we come to Him by confessing and repenting of our sin, trusting in His atoning death on the cross, and...

If you spend five minutes on YouTube, you’ll quickly learn that twenty-something wellness influencers believe you cannot survive sunrise without an eyedropper of yohimbe bark and a $90 mushroom tincture. (If your morning starter is an alcoholic “eye-opener,” put this paper down and call AA.) Human physiology upon waking is not complicated: after seven or eight hours of snoring, you are dehydrated. If you had three glasses of cabernet with dinner, or if you sleep tethered to a CPAP machine you wake up parched like an Egyptian mummy. Your blood is thick and viscous, which is why heart attacks and...
