Damage to a Russian launch site has stopped Moscow from sending people into space for the first time in over six decades, it has been reported. Moscow’s space agency Roscosmos said that Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan had sustained damage during a launch on Thursday carrying Russian and American astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). But Russian space bloggers said the damage to Russia’s only launch site for crewed missions was more serious than authorities were claiming. One expert, Vitaly Egorov, said if the damage is as suspected, Moscow will have lost the ability to launch people into space for...

Following the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington this week, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) not only wants to deport potentially dangerous “Islamists” — he wants an immediate ban on all “Islam immigrants.” The call was posted on Tuberville’s X account Wednesday, hours before it was announced that one of the Guard victims, 20-year-old Sara Beckstrom, had died despite valiant efforts by doctors to save her life following the shooting. Still hospitalized and in critical condition is 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, who with Beckstrom was was shot multiple times while on duty near the Farragut West Metro station. “The Afghan...

Judge James Boasberg took the next step toward ‘contempt prosecution’ after he revived his criminal contempt inquiry against President Trump over Alien Enemies Act deportations. A federal appeals court recently lifted the hold on Boasberg’s contempt inquiry so the judge is going full steam ahead and harassing Trump Administration officials. In March Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act. In an unsigned order earlier in April, the US Supreme Court on Monday vacated Judge...

Friday on CNN’s “News Central,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said that President Donald Trump’s deployment of “military troops in the nation‘s capital or in any city” should be reconsidered because it caused two members of the National Guard to be shot in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. Wasserman Schultz said, “This is a deeply concerning situation, but, you know, it’s one that I think we have to — it begs the question, would an individual have flown across the country to target law enforcement officers in Washington, D.C.? And, I mean, the answer is likely no. So why wasn‘t the...

TAD CARPER HOLLERED at a reporter who was unaware of the rules of order inside a Dallas Cowboys postgame news conference: "Excuse me! Hold on, hold up! I'll call on you," he implored. "Yeah, we go around," quarterback Dak Prescott said, a grin growing across his face as he awaited the next question from the media following a Week 6 road loss to the Carolina Panthers. Minutes later, when Prescott stepped away from his postgame media session, he joked with reporters about the tight ship run by Carper, the Cowboys' senior vice president of communications.

Perpetuating false definitions of the earliest stages of life mirrors the dehumanization that enabled Nazi experiments on the ‘subhuman.’The 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials is a powerful moment to reflect on the horrors of unchecked human experimentation during World War II. This milestone reminds us of the atrocities that produced the 1947 Nuremberg Code, a cornerstone of medical ethics emphasizing informed consent, minimal risk, and the prohibition of exploiting vulnerable human beings. The code, a voluntary international guideline, prioritizes the physical and mental safety of all human subjects over any “greater good” for society.Yet, as we reflect on this...

Most Believers I speak to today firmly believe we are in the Last Days. Many have become almost obsessed with trying to interpret and unravel the Bible’s mysterious End-Time prophecies, and keep a keen eye on politics and world events—especially those that involve Israel or the Middle East. The news is scrupulously analyzed by many watching for specific prophetic signs: a ten nation confederacy, the Antichrist’s emergence and identity, the mark of the beast, the rebuilding of the Third Temple, the Bear of the North—Russia, and the cataclysmic rise of catastrophes and natural disasters. Although these signs are indeed found...

The Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed three more centers. Pro-life advocates hailed the shutdown of three Planned Parenthood facilities in Wisconsin as a significant blow to the abortion industry. The closures push the national tally of Planned Parenthood closures this year to 48 and underscore the impact of federal funding restrictions aimed at protecting taxpayers from subsidizing elective abortions and the abortion industry. The centers in Portage, West Bend and Wisconsin Rapids — all part of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s network — have ceased operations. None of the locations did abortions on site but all of them arrange for...

A new labor market analysis from Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that artificial intelligence is no longer a future threat to jobs. It is already capable of performing tasks tied to 11.7 percent of total U.S. wages. That represents as much as $1.2 trillion in economic exposure across major sectors including finance, health care, logistics and professional services. The findings come from a newly developed labor simulation system known as the Iceberg Index. The project was built jointly by MIT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory and models how today’s AI tools interact with the real American workforce at a granular,...

Now for the feel-good story of the week: A California immigration judge wept after being abruptly fired mid-asylum hearing, making her the latest victim of the Trump administration’s deportation crackdown. Won’t someone please stop laughing and share in the tears of this victim? Shuting Chen, 41, of San Francisco, was halfway through a hearing on Friday for three Venezuelan siblings who had fled persecution and waited years for their day in court when an email labeled ‘notice of termination’ flashed onto her screen. Chen was appointed by Biden’s handlers in 2022. ‘I started to cry in my courtroom in front...

President Donald Trump obliterated a so-called “reporter” who dared to question why he holds Joe Biden responsible for allowing the Afghan terrorist, who ambushed two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., into the United States, which left a member of the West Virginia National Guard dead and another in critical condition. The exchange happened during a press gaggle that quickly turned into a masterclass in how to handle the corrupt press. The reporter had the audacity to ask: “Why do you blame the Biden administration?” As if it’s not crystal clear that Crooked Joe’s bungled withdrawal flooded our country with...
