    I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel, I believe in fulfilment of prophecy, and, again, I'm not a theologian but I'm a Christian, my life was changed in Israel, the spiritual energy is so amazing there. I want them to win, I've said that repeatedly. However, you're hitting on something very potent and important. Now let me first say – I don't want to judge an entire group, because there's been many people in the pro-Israel group that have been very sweet, very kind, very nuanced...however, and I will say this, the behavior by a lot –...

    Iranian officials reportedly abandoned peace talks in the wake of President Donald Trump's threat to 'blow the s*** out of them,' just hours after Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland for negotiations with Tehran. The president threatened Iran to restart his bombing campaigns on the country through profanity filled phone calls and posts on social media while Vance began negotiations. Iranian officials back out of the talks after having filed a formal complaint with Pakistani and Qatari mediators and also refused to pose for photographs, according to the Telegraph. Tehran's Chief negotiator Mohammed Ghalibaf warned that the US should...

    Even if you’re sick of hearing about Jeffrey Epstein — President Donald Trump and his team have been far more fixated on the relentless controversy than they have ever acknowledged. That (and plenty of other juicy revelations) is based on three years of reporting for a forthcoming book. "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" is by New York Times correspondents Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and slated to be published in two weeks. Whether you’re a Trump supporter or detractor, the book is packed with facts that make clear that most or all of the major participants...

    Giants co-owner Steve Tisch announced he will give up his shares of the football team and pass them on to his children after being exposed for asking Jeffrey Epstein about a “working girl” in a series of damning emails about women, sources confirmed to The Post.

The move would leave the elder Tisch siblings with no ownership of the team if the NFL’s finance committee approved the move, first reported by ESPN. The team is...

    A newly released CIA document reveals a chilling blueprint to manipulate minds through covert drugging experiments. The report, added to the CIA's reading room in 2025, details the government's once top-secret Project Artichoke that ran from 1951 to 1956, focusing on behavior control, interrogation techniques and psychological manipulation. The seven-page document, titled 'Special Research for Artichoke,' with an attachment labeled 'Suggested Fields for Special Research Relative Artichoke,' outlines proposals to develop chemicals capable of altering human behavior. It discusses drugs designed for both immediate effects, like truth serums and long-term influence, potentially administered through food, water, alcohol or cigarettes. Researchers...

    Jeffrey Epstein secretly stashed computers, photographs, and other items in storage units scattered across the US — and paid private detectives to move the material around as investigators closed in on him, according to a new report. Financial records and emails reviewed by the Telegraph revealed that the dead pedophile rented at least six storage lockers nationwide, some starting in 2003, and paid for them until 2019, the year he died by suicide in lockup. The units were used to house items from Epstein’s homes, including computers and CDs from his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James, the outlet reported....

    In a new interview with "Amanpour And Company", Dave Grohl said that the chapter about NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain's 1994 suicide in his newly released memoir "The Storyteller: Tales Of Life And Music" was the most difficult part of the book to write. Asked why he chose to write that chapter last, Grohl said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "'Cause I was scared to write it. It's one thing to write about getting stitches when you're 12 years old or it's one thing to write about taking your kids to the daddy-daughter dance, it's another thing to write about something that...

    Bestselling author Ian Halperin revealed why he believes Kurt Cobain's coroner should have recused himselfTHE coroner who carried out Kurt Cobain’s autopsy boasted he’d been intimate with the Nirvana star’s wife Courtney Love, it has been sensationally claimed.

    A new report claims that the death of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain was not by suicide, rather he was a victim of homicide. But police in Seattle are standing by their original findings. According to a report in The Daily Mail, a private forensic team compiled by independent forensic specialist Brian Burnett said that Cobain’s death was a homicide. Burnett’s team looked at the evidence and came to that conclusion. But the Seattle Police Department disagrees, saying the suicide ruling is correct. “Our detective concluded that he died by suicide, and this continues to be the position held by...
