    WASHINGTON, D.C. — After the latest batch of Epstein files was released by the Department of Justice, it has become evident to everyone that Jeffrey Epstein, along with being a vile sex trafficker, had some sick fetish for girls with giant black square heads. "It's disgusting," Attorney General Pam Bondi said. "But you wanted us to release the files, so here you go. Now you get to see how obsessed he was with black square heads, too. Be careful what you wish for." In nearly every released photo, girls with black square heads are seen posing with Epstein and...

  • Approximately 50 Planned Parenthood clinics closed in 2025, report says

    The Catholic Register ^ | December 19, 2025 | Kate Scanlon
    Approximately 50 Planned Parenthood clinics closed in 2025 as the group lost its ability to bill Medicaid, according to a report by the nation's largest abortion provider. On Dec. 12, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit ruled that Planned Parenthood is unlikely to succeed in its claims that being stripped of its Medicaid funds is unconstitutional, overturning a lower court's order that had temporarily blocked a provision of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, legislation that enacted key items of his legislative agenda on issues including taxes and immigration. That law...

    Authorities in Florida are accusing a 51-year-old woman of shooting and killing two ex-husbands on the same day this week. Susan Erica Avalon was arrested on Thursday on charges of second degree homicide in Manatee County, where her first ex-husband lived, according to Sheriff Rick Wells.(snip) It all started on Wednesday afternoon when the Manatee County Sheriff's Office received a call to respond to a shooting in the Heritage Harbor neighborhood, according to Wells. When deputies arrived, they saw a 54-year-old man with two gunshot wounds. He was shot in the abdomen, Wells said in a press conference Thursday. "The...

    A Christmas Prayer By Rian B. Anderson It was Christmas Eve 1881. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the world had caved in on me because there just hadn't been enough money to buy me the rifle that I'd wanted so bad that year for Christmas. We did the chores early that night for some reason. I just figured Daddy wanted a little extra time so we could read in the Bible. After supper was over I took my boots off and stretched out in front of the fireplace and waited for Daddy to get down the old...

    Remember how Democrats once hailed ObamaCare as a "big f---ing deal?"Nowadays, as inadvertently revealed by Politico, many Democrats have turned their backs on the 15-year-old program they have come to loathe (while urging continued funding for it) and instead increasingly demand its replacement with Medicare For All.On Sunday, Politico reporters Lisa Kashinsky and Elena Schneider revealed the deep Democrat discontent with ObamaCare in "Democrats are united in bashing GOP on Obamacare. Medicare for All could reopen a rift."The article began with how fervently many Democrats are in their desire to ditch ObamaCare in favor of the entirely government-financed Medicare For...

    BETHESDA, Md. (WBFF) — A $2.3 million home in one of Maryland’s wealthiest neighborhoods has become the latest test of the state’s ability to respond to squatting, exposing how legal gaps, slow court processes, and limited enforcement can leave communities waiting for action – even when ownership is clear and criminal complaints are filed. The Bethesda case, now winding through Montgomery County courts, mirrors a pattern Spotlight on Maryland has documented statewide: Vacant homes, disputed occupancy, and neighbors caught between civil law and public safety concerns. Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy’s office said it cannot comment on this matter...

    Finally, we are seeing some pushback. In North Carolina, a public library board was disbanded for pushing transsexual indoctrination on little kids. The Blaze reports: The controversy involved the “Call Me Max” book that tells the story of a girl asking teachers to refer to her by her chosen identity rather than the biological reality. The board in Randolph County had reviewed the book and found that it fit within the county’s guidelines in October. No one who attempts to undermine the sanity of impressionable children so as to groom them for a twisted realm of sexual depravity should be...

Instead, she hit one in the leg and hip, knocking him down before fleeing the scene. Godfrey, who allegedly admitted to police that she hit the protester and drove away, was arrested December 15 and booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion...

    The Justice Department's latest trove of files includes photos taken inside the bizarre structure which was first uncovered by drone footage of Little Saint James in 2019. The cube-shaped building with blue and white stripes covering it has been the subject of speculation and conspiracy theories. Photos inside the building show it in tough shape, including excess pieces of wood lying around and exposed cement panels. Another photo shows a pair of mattresses that appear to have been left to rot inside a shrink wrap that has turned a shade of yellow. The ceiling is hand-painted, showing various animals and...

    I have had an interesting and rewarding time in discussions and arguments(?) with various AIs. Google's is hopelessly woke, and unrepentant about it. I have abandoned it. Using Microsoft's Copilot UI on top of Smart GPT-5.1 has delivered a very different, FAR more neutral AI experience. You can actually instruct it to abandon certain built-in woke-leaning tendencies about safety and offending. One then works with a remarkably neutral AI. I decided to see how Smart GPT-5.1 would track on a 'discussion' in logic around two questions and two premises. The two premises were: (1) there is no god/deity, and (2)...

    The police chief at Brown University has been placed on leave as the school examines its response to a mass shooting that left two students dead. University officials announced Monday that Rodney Chatman, the head of public safety at the school, was placed on leave effective immediately, and his day-to-day responsibilities were given to former Providence Police Chief Hugh Clements. The decision comes amid intense scrutiny over the school's security policies in the wake of the December 13 mass shooting, during which students Ella Cook and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov were tragically killed and nine others left with injuries.

    US forces have boarded the Bella 1, a US‑sanctioned, Panamanian‑flagged crude tanker bound for Venezuela, marking the third interception near the country this month after the Skipper on Dec. 10 and the Centuries on Saturday. US forces have intercepted yet another oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, boarding the Bella 1 as it sailed toward Venezuelan waters to load crude, according to people briefed on the operation, in the latest escalation of President Donald Trump’s effort to starve Nicolás Maduro’s government of oil revenues. The Bella 1, a Panamanian‑flagged vessel already sanctioned by Washington, was stopped in the southern...
