Pope Leo XIV has sent 80 electric generators and thousands of medical supplies to Ukraine to help civilians cope with freezing winter temperatures and constant attacks, the Vatican announced on Feb. 9. The aid was arranged in response to appeals from bishops who warned of mounting difficulties caused by Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure and subzero temperatures across the country. Three trucks carrying the generators and medical supplies departed from the Basilica of Saint Sophia in Rome and have already arrived in Fastiv and Kyiv, areas heavily affected by recent strikes. Alongside the generators, thousands of medical supplies were delivered,...

Photos circulating on social media Saturday reveal that Hunter Biden, the son of former Democratic President Joe Biden, was at Coachella, the iconic music festival in the California desert. Biden appears in six photographs posing next to the United Kingdom rapper and artist Fakemink at what looks like the corner of a backyard. Social media posts captioned the pictures “fakemink x Hunter Biden at Coachella 2026.” Biden has his arm around the shoulder of the rapper and in some of the photos, he is looking at Fakemink with a large smile. Fakemink poses with a hand sign and what looks...

A Department of Homeland Security employee was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog in Atlanta on Monday, part of a series of attacks that killed another woman and critically wounded a homeless man. The 26-year-old suspect, a British-born man naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2022, has a prior criminal record and faces murder charges for attacks across the Atlanta area. Lauren Bullis was remembered by Homeland Security colleagues as warm, kind and compassionate, with a fellow auditor recalling: “You couldn’t meet her and not be her friend.”

WASHINGTON — Mercy for me, but not for thee. Former first son Hunter Biden trashed President Trump’s use of the clemency power while acknowledging the hypocrisy of him doing so after his father Joe gave him an “unconditional” pardon shortly before leaving office. “I’m completely biased as it relates to what my dad did for me. I fully understand how uniquely situated I am in being privileged enough to have received a pardon from my father,” the Biden scion said when asked by MeidasTouch if the pardon power needs reform. “I don’t think that the founders ever imagined Donald Trump....

The Justice Department has fired at least four prosecutors who were involved in prosecutions under the FACE Act during the Biden administration, a government official familiar with the firings told CBS News. Among those fired Monday is Sanjay Patel, a longtime federal prosecutor in the Civil Rights Division's criminal section who was placed on administrative leave last month, sources told CBS News at the time. The terminations occurred at about the same time a report on the FACE Act and the Biden Justice Department was being finalized. Congress passed the FACE Act in 1994 to address rising concerns about threats...

The U.S. intelligence watchdog developed derogatory evidence about the CIA analyst who prompted the 2019 Ukraine-focused impeachment against Donald Trump, including that he submitted false information in his whistleblower complaint, offered hearsay to support his allegations and had the "potential for bias," according to newly declassified memos that were kept from Americans during the failed bid by Democrats to remove the president from office six years ago. The documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the request of Just the News provide a starkly different portrait of the alleged whistleblower whose name and face were never shown...

Hunter Biden has quietly pulled up stakes and left the country amid claims he is $17 million in debt and living overseas, the Daily Mail can reveal. The disclosure came in a new legal filing submitted by his attorney Barry Coburn on April 6, in Washington DC, where the first son is being sued by his former attorneys at Winston & Strawn. The court filing bluntly states 'Mr Biden lives abroad', and argues that the former First Son 'cannot afford' to pay off his outstanding legal fees

The U.S. Department of Transportation said on Thursday it is investigating Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink over the potentially illegal movement of hazardous pathogens. A Department of Transportation spokesperson told Reuters about the probe after the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine (PCRM), an animal-welfare advocacy group, wrote to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg earlier on Thursday to alert it of records it obtained on the matter. PCRM said it obtained emails and other documents that suggest unsafe packaging and movement of implants removed from the brains of monkeys. These implants may have carried infectious diseases in violation of federal law,...

The Biden administration has reportedly launched a federal investigation into one of Elon Musk’s companies over allegations that the company may have violated animal-welfare laws. The investigation into Neuralink, where Musk serves as CEO, was launched by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General at the request of a federal prosecutor, Reuters reported. The neurotechnology company is developing “ultra high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers,” according to its website. The report said that the investigation centers around potential violations of the Animal Welfare Act, which “regulates the treatment of animals in research, teaching, testing, exhibition, transport, and...

Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a medical device company, is under federal investigation for potential animal-welfare violations amid internal staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, causing needless suffering and deaths, according to documents reviewed by Reuters and sources familiar with the investigation and company operations. Neuralink Corp is developing a brain implant it hopes will help paralyzed people walk again and cure other neurological ailments. The federal probe, which has not been previously reported, was opened in recent months by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General at the request of a federal prosecutor, according to two sources with...

U.S.-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have not reached a dead end, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on March 30 in response to a question from the Kyiv Independent, arguing that negotiations are merely postponed. The comments come as diplomacy appears stalled, with the U.S. now focused on the war in Iran and no new Kyiv-Moscow-Washington talks scheduled. Despite the pause, Zelensky sought to project momentum, even as fundamental disagreements — particularly over territory — remain unresolved. "The trilateral meeting must take place; it is undoubtedly being postponed because the U.S. is currently focused on Iran," Zelensky said about a...

I don't think many people saw this one coming, but it makes sense in a perverse way. Events in the Middle East have conspired to create a situation in which Ukraine has become an indispensable ally and munitions supplier to Gulf Arab states. Nobody in the world has as much experience fighting Iranian drones as does Ukraine, and they have become extraordinarily proficient at destroying them before they do any damage, and at a price that cannot be beat. The Gulf states, having blown through an awful lot of their anti-air magazines, are having to quickly learn how to defend...

General or partial assessments of the number of victims in the war in Ukraine reveal the high human cost of an armed conflict unprecedented in Europe in the last eight decades. With estimates of nearly two million military casualties, it is reminiscent of the worst conflicts experienced in the 20th century on the Old Continent. The most conservative figures — around half a million deaths on the Ukrainian side — are five times higher than those of the Balkan War (1992-1995), which totaled 100,000, of whom 13,500 were civilians. The Ukrainian Commissioner for Missing Persons in Special Circumstances has just...

Federal prosecutors have charged a former Bay Area resident with carrying out a massive health care fraud scheme that allegedly sought to steal more than $90 million from government programs. A federal grand jury indicted Anar Rustamov, a 38-year-old Azerbaijani national who previously lived in Sunnyvale, on multiple counts tied to health care fraud and money laundering. The Justice Department said he is currently at large and could face significant prison time and fines if convicted. According to prosecutors, Rustamov, who entered the U.S. illegally, played a main role in submitting thousands of fraudulent claims through the Medicare Advantage program....

Sen. Ron Johnson's plea came after Just the News earlier this week disclosed declassified documents showing Chinese intelligence gained access to multiple states' voter registration data and conducted some voter influence efforts. The intelligence agencies chose to keep that information quiet because spy agency analysts opposed Trump and his policies. The chairman of the Senate's most powerful investigative panel is urging President Donald Trump to declassify and make public any U.S. intelligence showing China's efforts to gain access to American voter registration data or to use measures to influence voters dating back to 2020. "I wish they briefed the American...

If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth watching the 2 minute clip at the link. It's glorious to hear the truth spoken at the UN.AwakenedOutlaw repostedBridgett Fertig@LightOnLiberty·2hPresident Trump dropped the biggest Truth bomb regarding child trafficking to the world and he did it right in the faces of the UN globalist elites who facilitate it."Any system that results in the mass trafficking of children is inherently EVIL.

Newly released emails reveal how the Biden administration’s Department of Education (ED) in 2022 attempted to form a secret parent advisory council to give teachers unions and left-aligned activist and parent groups power over federal education policy. Under former President Joe Biden, the department created the National Parents and Families Engagement Council ostensibly as a “partnership between parents and families, educators, district leaders, and entire school communities to support student success.” But behind the scenes, the short-lived council was composed of hand-picked activist organizations that focused on radical racial, gender and immigrant-focused ideologies. As Defending Education notes, “not a single...

The Chinese did, in fact, meddle in the 2020 presidential vote in the United States, and the intelligence community did hide that information from President Donald Trump. That's according to a new investigative report at Just the News on the clouded vote results that already are known to have been under the undue influence of two factors. Those are the FBI's decision to interfere by falsely claiming that accurate information about Biden family scandals revealed in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden was Russian disinformation and Mark Zuckerberg's decision to put his thumb on the scale by handing out $400...
