Japan's government admitted Monday manipulating an official photo of the new cabinet to make its members look less unkempt, after online mockery of their sagging trousers. Images taken by local media showed what appeared to be an untidy patch of white shirt under the morning suits of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Defense Minister Gen Nakatani. In the official photo issued by Ishiba's office, these blemishes had mysteriously disappeared, but not quickly enough to stop a barrage of mockery of the "untidy cabinet" on social media. "This is more hideous than a group picture of some kind of a seniors'...

Imagine hearing a knock on your door and opening it to find actor Jane Fonda campaigning for a local election candidate. That's how the 86-year-old actor and activist is spending her time this election season. She's campaigning around the country for local candidates who support action on climate change, building on her years of climate-related protests.

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that former President Donald Trump “would absolutely try to exterminate people.” Monday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” Trump said, “How about allowing people to come to an open-border, not as 13,000 of which were murderers. Many of them murdered far more than one person. And they’re now happily living in the United States, you know. Now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.” Host John Berman said, “Talking about the immigrants who come over, he was...

With this in mind, the Abandon...

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday halted a ruling striking down the state’s near-ban on abortions while it considers the state’s appeal. The high court’s order came a week after a judge found that Georgia unconstitutionally prohibits abortions beyond about six weeks of pregnancy, often before women realize they’re pregnant. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled Sept. 30 that privacy rights under Georgia’s state constitution include the right to make personal healthcare decisions. The state Supreme Court put McBurney’s ruling on hold at the request of Republican state Attorney General Chris Carr, whose office...

President Joe Biden has approved Florida’s emergency disaster declaration as Hurricane Milton approaches the Sunshine State, expected to make landfall Wednesday or Thursday. In the wake of the lackluster response from the Biden-Harris administration to Hurricane Helene, Biden “declared that an emergency exists in the State of Florida and ordered Federal assistance to supplement State, tribal, and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Milton beginning on October 5, 2024, and continuing.” The release reads: The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which...

Hundreds of anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian activists gathered at Columbia University on Monday to celebrate the anniversary of the Hamas terror attacks of October 7, shouting “Resistance is glorious! We will be victorious!” Some carried a banner reading: “We Will Honor All Our Martyrs,” incorporating a term that terrorists have used to describe their members, whether carrying out suicide bombings against Israeli civilians or being killed in battle. It was not clear how many of the participants were students, and how many were from beyond the campus itself. As Breitbart News had reported, students at Columbia and other universities in New York...

A PAC supporting Kamala Harris runs an ad that features Harris making the following impassioned statement,“We are helping dig families out of debt by telling billionaires to pay their fair share!” The commercial presents this exclamation as Harris’ “reason for running” for office, but does not explain what it means. Some of the audience tries to guess what this statement means while Harris’ supporters do not care and will vote for her regardless of what she says. Those who care to understand must speculate for an explanation. To whom will “billionaires” pay this undefined “fair share?” We can guess that...
