Trump on Monday declined to make an endorsement in the primary, telling reporters, “They’ve all supported me, they’re all good and you’re supposed to pick one. So we’ll see what happens, but I support all three.”

On a search to answer the question "Who started the Great War?" the author details his encounter and subsequent journeys with a mysterious stranger - journeys not through towns and countries but through time. This spirit, whom the author names "Mered," - meaning "Rebellion" - acts as a guide and interpreter of many epochs and episodes of human history, explaining how deep are the troubles that bring about conflict, from the interactions of two individuals to the mutual destruction of nations. - Summary by E.

@TRobinsonNewEra I've landed in the United States of America 🇺🇸 For two decades, I've tried warning America of what's coming, at every step of the way, the British establishment tried to ruin my life for doing so. The shackles are off, they hold no power anymore, I've come to deliver that warning in person. Watch this space!

This was always coming. A gold medal game long expected, long anticipated and long prepared for. This rivalry been played out on this stage six times before at the Winter Olympics and Team USA hoped to get one back on their most hated opponents. They surely had the potential to do so. Throughout the women's ice hockey tournament in Milan, Canada's women's team looked shaky - getting battered 5-0 by the US and barely surviving against Switzerland to reach the gold medal game. The Americans, meanwhile, were arguably their most dominant group ever sent to the Olympics. Going into Thursday...

WE ARE NUMBER ONE!

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) declared on Thursday that he “WILL NOT BE BLACKMAILED” following a report suggesting an aide committed suicide after an alleged affair with the congressman. “I WILL NOT BE BLACKMAILED. Disgusting to see people profit politically and financially off a tragic death. The public should IMMEDIATELY have full access to the Uvalde Police report,” Gonzales wrote on X. The congressman included a message from a lawyer offering a non-disclosure agreement and settlement. I WILL NOT BE BLACKMAILED. Disgusting to see people profit politically and financially off a tragic death. The public should IMMEDIATELY have full access to...

Explanation: Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the glory, flaunting their young, bright, blue star clusters in beautiful, symmetric spiral arms. But small, irregular galaxies form stars too. In fact, dwarf galaxy IC 2574 shows clear evidence of intense star forming activity in its telltale reddish regions of glowing hydrogen gas. Just as in spiral galaxies, the turbulent star-forming regions in IC 2574 are churned by stellar winds and supernova explosions spewing material into the galaxy's interstellar medium and triggering further star formation. A mere 12 million light-years distant, IC 2574 is part of the M81 group of...

For the first time in three decades, ESPN will no longer have the rights to Sunday Night Baseball this season. That's right. No more Jon Miller and Joe Morgan! Well, to be fair, they've been gone for a decade now, but still, you get the point. It was a staple in households across America for 30 years. It's now gone forever. Last year, NBC acquired the rights to SNB in a landmark deal that will shake up how – and where – we watch Major League Baseball this season. Good luck trying to figure that out, by the way. Regular...

Deranged transgender gunman Robert Dorgan was cousins with his ex-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, whom he gunned down along with their son at a high school hockey game. The twisted relationship emerged after records showed the killer had the same name as his murdered ex and her parents, who were also seriously injured in his rampage Monday, according to the Providence Journal. A deep dive then showed that he and Rhonda were first cousins once removed when they tied the knot in 1992. The twisted relationship emerged after records showed the killer had the same name as his murdered ex and her...

Islamists try to show dominance, and the left is going along, except that they picked the wrong issue. ell, that escalated quickly. Islamists are trying to show dominance, and the left is going along, except that they picked the wrong issue. These days, events happen so quickly, it's hard to keep up, but you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard of the left in their red/green alliance stumble into one of the worst 90/10 issues of all time. Along with blaring the call to prayer (noise ordinances, what noise ordinances?), one of New York...

In 2010, I was a roughneck on a drilling rig in West Texas. These were the early days of the American shale revolution, before we truly understood what horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing would mean for the country. The work was brutal: 12-hour shifts, covered in drilling mud, wrestling pipe in 110-degree heat. But even then, you could feel something shifting. Rigs were popping up across the Permian Basin. Engineers were figuring out how to crack open formations and produce oil from rock that had been written off as uneconomic for decades. I watched that technological revolution unfold from the...

Georgia Prosecutor Not Only Lost Her Case Against Pres. Trump, But She May Have to Cut Him a YUGE Check Too. Imagine torching millions in taxpayer dollars chasing a political opponent, only to end up footing their legal bill. That’s the mess Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis now finds herself in—burned by her own ambition, and possibly with a $6.2 million invoice coming her way courtesy of Donald Trump. This all started when Willis tried to play queen of the Resistance, launching a high-profile prosecution against Trump over so-called “election interference” in Georgia. But instead of scoring a win...

The Major League Baseball Players Association unanimously elected Bruce Meyer as its new executive director Wednesday night, replacing Tony Clark the day after he resigned amid scandal less than a year before the expiration of MLB's collective bargaining agreement. **SNIP** Clark resigned Tuesday following an internal investigation that revealed an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, whom the union had hired in 2023. A federal investigation into the MLBPA concerning questions about its finances and governance prompted the union to hire an independent lawyer, whose inquiry exposed the inappropriate relationship. Player leaders had been girding for Clark's departure, though the timing...

An avid New Jersey outdoor buff slipped off a trail and froze to death while hiking New York’s highest peak with her dog — after it took rescuers more than six hours to find her in bitter single-digit temperatures, officials said Wednesday. Brianna Mohr, 21 — who posted breathtaking Instagram photos of herself on remote adventures — called 911 while clinging to the side of Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks at 3 p.m. Thursday, according to police. But rescuers couldn’t find Mohr, of Brick, until after 9 p.m., at which point she had died of hypothermia, New York State Police...

On Sunday in a busy stretch of restaurants and boutiques in the West Village, hundreds of New Yorkers queued up outside a pop-up shop offering free groceries. "New Yorkers are in pain," Nick from Queens, New York, one of several people Fox News Digital interviewed outside the pop-up, said as he waited to grab pasta sauce, bath soap and a bag of Tide Pods. The scene was underscored by the city's cost of living woes and anxiety over who would get a yellow ticket granting entry to the small shop before they "sold out" of goods. As the crowd grew,...

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are one of the most significant proposed shifts in modern currency. They're often marked as an efficient improvement over traditional cash. However, like those ubiquitous pharmaceutical commercials showing joyful scenes before rushing through a litany of terrifying side effects, the push for CBDCs tend to gloss over their profound risks. SNIP The obvious downsides revolve around privacy, security, and autonomy. Every CBDC transaction is traceable, and creates a comprehensive record of an individual's spending habits. When combined with digital IDs or social credit systems, this traceability opens the door to unprecedented government surveillance and intervention....

While speaking to a crowd at the White House for Black History Month on Wednesday, Trump surprised everyone with a big announcement about Dr. Ben Carson. He revealed that Carson is going to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor he certainly deserves. You could tell that the crowd approved on this news when Trump told them it was going to happen. Dr. Carson truly deserves this award. He is an American patriot.

Dogs have graced my life and those of my family and friends immensely. And Muslims? Not so much. New York City is going to the dogs, courtesy of Marxist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Which is ironic as Muslims are not dog lovers. In fact, in response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Muslim anti-Israel activist Nerdeen Kiswani recently tweeted: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam.” She added that dogs “are unclean.” She later claimed her remarks were a “joke.” That pathetic attempt at backpedaling was the real joke, and a bad one. Rep. Randy...
