The Mainstream Media and Democrats, but that's just one in the same, have no intention of leaving conservative Supreme Court Justices alone. Today's target? Judge Alito's vacation house. "Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs. This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it...

Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, isn’t working properly right now. At first, we noticed it wasn’t possible to perform a web search at all. Now it seems search results are loading properly. But this outage also appears to still be affecting Bing’s application programming interface (API), which means that other services that rely on Bing aren’t working properly. For instance, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, two alternative search engines that rely on Bing’s search results, aren’t returning any search results right now. Microsoft Copilot isn’t loading either. ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who have the ability to perform web searches, also get an error when...

The American presidential election of 2024 will be the most important since 1860 and could witness America’s end and a descent into tyranny from which there will be no return. Given the realities of the past three years of the Biden Administration, this article expands on the thesis we have made in these pages that the American presidential election of 2024 will be the most important since 1860. That is not hyperbole, but a recognition of the grave conditions the American people face—these are matters of life and death for the country. Like in 1860, the election on November 5,...

The route to the summit of Mount Everest is jam packed with eager climbers frantically rushing to reach the world's highest point - even as several adventurers and their guides were killed or went missing this week. Shocking video shared to social media showed how a string of dozens of climbers snaked up the glacier in the high-altitude 'death zone' - so called because the air is so thin that most have to rely on supplementary oxygen to survive. The 'human traffic jam', captured on May 20, came as the mountain enjoyed a 'weather window' - a brief period of...

Alabama is spearheading a coalition of 12 Republican-led states in a federal lawsuit against five Democrat-run states, alleging the latter are trying to coerce the former into complying with strict climate-conscious policies that could imperil their residents' access to affordable energy. The filing was made at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday as the plaintiffs argued that Democrat-led states California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey and Rhode Island are essentially forcing residents of politically opposed states to feel repercussions of their restrictions and, therefore, are dictating national energy policy. "California and New Jersey and the defendant states are trying to make...

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last night took a huge gamble by pulling the trigger on a snap election. The Tory leader has long insisted the national vote would happen in the second half of this year, which many in Westminster thought to mean October or November. But on Wednesday afternoon, Mr Sunak stepped out into the pouring rain to deliver a speech outside Downing Street in which he called a surprise summer election on July 4. Despite some backbenchers claiming the early poll date is a 'death wish', the defiant PM hopes signs of a recovering economy will help him...

Dove, 2017 Jaws dropped when Dove debuted a three-second Facebook advertisement in which an African-American woman removed her shirt and magically transformed into a white woman. Critics decried that it was reminiscent of racist soap ads from the last century that showed black people scrubbing their skin to become white. Dove removed the clip almost immediately and apologized, saying the post had “missed the mark in representing women of color thoughtfully.”

The 15-year-old girl charged with brutally beating Kaylee Gain and leaving her in a coma will not be charged as an adult, a judge has ruled. The decision followed testimony from a juvenile officer earlier this month, who claimed that Gain, 16, was a serial bully who tormented her attacker, Maurnice Declue, 15. It was also alleged that Gain initiated the fight and threw the first punch, and was suspended for fighting another girl just the day prior. On Wednesday, a St. Louis judge followed the officer's recommendation and decided that the case will remain in the juvenile court system....

Anglo-Catholicism, movement that emphasizes the Catholic rather than the Protestant heritage of the Anglican Communion. It was an outgrowth of the 19th-century Oxford Movement (q.v.), which sought to renew Catholic thought and practice in the Church of England. The term Anglo-Catholic was first used in some of the writings of leaders of the Oxford Movement who wished to demonstrate the historical continuity of the English (Anglican) Church with Catholic Christianity.

Elvis Presley's granddaughter sent an investment company intent on auctioning off Graceland running. Riley Keough didn't just convince a judge to block the auction of Graceland on Thursday. The actor's legal response scared off Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC for good. Elvis Presley Enterprises (Graceland) labeled claims made by Naussany as fraudulent upon learning they planned to auction Graceland to get back money loaned to Lisa Marie Presley in 2018. Keough's lawyer said the loan never happened and Naussany "appears to be a false entity created for the purpose of defrauding." A quick family tree is necessary to understand...

Alas, the poor phone book. Once, it was the cornerstone of American connection, an indispensable resource people relied on to find pizza shops, plumbers, and the number of the cute girl in math class. But now, when a new phone book lands on a homeowner’s doorstep, the tome most often gets tossed in the recycling bin. They might be used to press flowers, or as a booster seat or a door stop, but fewer and fewer phone books are used for what they were originally intended, to look up telephone numbers.

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle called upon the president of Chicago’s Federal Reserve to tell viewers that they are economically far better off than they think. "We need an economic explainer," the MSNBC host said. "People are confused, they’re exhausted, but they’re also doing quite well." Ruhle, who hosts MSNBC’s "The Eleventh Hour," had been discussing a recent Federal Reserve report that "shows people are still struggling to cover day-to-day expenses, even as inflation has slowed." She noted how some major brands are responding by enticing consumers with slashed prices, "Target says it is cutting prices on 5,000 essential items, things...
