LONDON — In a stunning fall from power, one of the world's foremost Muslim leaders was forced to resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Keir Starmer, a preeminent voice for Islam on the world stage over the past several years, announced his resignation this morning after losing the support of several powerful mosques. "It is time for someone else to lead the intifada," said Starmer, standing outside the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street. "I have had the great privilege these past few years of heading up the Muslim takeover of England, glory to Allah. You know,...

Judge Tony Graf ruled against Tyler Robinson's defense team and will allow hearsay evidence during July's preliminary hearing, he ruled Monday. Graf said that while the hearing is a "critical stage of the criminal process," it's not a trial. "The court does not understand this principle to mean that constant constitutional protections are categorically inapplicable at a preliminary hearing, rather, because a preliminary hearing serves the limited purposes of determining whether probable cause exists, the scope and operation of a particular constitutional protections must be evaluated in light of that purpose," he said. Robinson's attorneys were trying to block hearsay...

A real story out of Massachusetts. Yes, according to police, 34-year-old Alexander Marano was enjoying a refreshing Sunday morning au naturel on the Ludlow Mills Riverwalk when he allegedly spotted a man walking his 8-year-old pit bull. I'm not joking about this next part: Marano reportedly charged the pair, threatened the owner with a nonexistent shotgun, and proceeded to choke the dog. When officers arrived and located the fully naked suspect, Marano helpfully surrendered with his hands up. No weapon was found, but they did recover his clothes, watch, and wallet nearby. Even in a suspected drug-fueled or mental health...

Days later he began sharing more videos where he expressed that he feared he was under surveillance; however, he never disclosed exactly what was his cause for concern....

We’ve come to a point in time when the men and women who created the golden era of rock music are in their late 70s or 80s.

About a week ago, Stewart had to cancel a show at the last minute over health issues, only to be seen attending a World Cup match and indulging in alcoholic beverages. Now, the former ‘Faces’ star was forced to pause his Friday night...

For decades, young midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy have walked by “Ripley at the Bridge,” a dramatic diorama within the Memorial Hall foyer in Bancroft Hall featuring Marine Capt. John Ripley dangling from a girder over the Cua Viet River.On Thursday, 54 years after his actions in Vietnam that made him an iconic military hero and 18 years after his death in 2008, Ripley was posthumously presented with the Medal of Honor at the White House.

KABUL — The notorious terrorist organization ISIS has claimed responsibility for an algae attack that has disrupted the beautiful blue color of the Reflecting Pool. An ISIS spokesman released a statement today stating that the group was behind the infiltration of the pool by algae, turning the radiant blue water an unsightly off-green hue. "You have now seen the carnage we are capable of," said ISIS spokesman Ali Kandrahar. "Look how gross that green color is. Nasty. We have brought the Reflecting Pool to its knees, and this is only but a taste of what we have in store...

"There are a couple ways to get there. One would be nuking the filibuster; that appears not likely to happen but the other way is to exhaust the other side, to continue to debate the bill until it passes." Lee said the SAVE America Act is worth tying up the Senate floor until it is passed. "And we'll stay through weekends. We'll stay through previously scheduled recesses if necessary, but we're going to stay on this bill until it passes," Lee added.

While political pressure mounts on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer amid rising tensions within the Labour Party, attention inside 10 Downing Street has unexpectedly shifted to an unlikely figure who seems completely unbothered by the unfolding drama - Larry the Cat. As Starmer faced a day of political turbulence, marked by the resignation of multiple junior ministers and increasing pressure from within his own party, Larry was seen casually roaming around Downing Street, repeatedly appearing near the iconic black door while media crews gathered outside. The situation took a humorous turn when the cat’s official X account commented on the...

SAN DIEGO, CA — NASCAR will celebrate Pride month this year by featuring its first all-Subaru race at the Navy 250 in San Diego. Feeling that being hosted at a Navy base was not quite gay enough, NASCAR officials decided to up the ante by requiring all entrants drive a Subaru station wagon with at least 17 bumper stickers. "Now that's what I call 'Pride'," said NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell. "There will be little sailor outfits, Subarus, and 'It's Raining Men' blasting on the loudspeakers. We're going all in this year. The crews are going to all do the 'YMCA'...

Britain may — very likely — soon have a new government under Andy Burnham. Amid the swirl of senior Labour figures vying for a place at the top table, one name keeps coming up: Ed Miliband. The energy secretary, who led the Labour party himself between 2010 and 2015 — when he was rejected by voters at the ballot box — is regarded by many MPs, as well as by bookmakers, as the frontrunner to be Burnham’s chancellor. The two men are longstanding political allies and have been in regular contact in recent weeks, including one-to-one phone calls about policy...
