WASHINGTON — Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen broke down in tears while reflecting on his decision to drop his reelection bid after redistricting all but ensured he had no path to victory. Cohen (D-Tenn.), the sole Democrat in Tennessee’s congressional delegation, lamented the Republicans’ revamping of the Volunteer State’s 9th district, which is majority minority, and railed against redistricting as “bad for democracy.” “I’m upset by this,” the now-outgoing Democrat bemoaned to NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Friday. “And I don’t get the criticism of stand and fight.” “Why would you fight when they changed the district and there aren’t enough votes...

Dr. William Federer unpacks who Muhammad actually is and the dark history of Islam. This was during a morning service at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills this past Sunday morning.

Cuba’s blood-soaked communist dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel lashed out Monday, warning that any U.S. military action against his crumbling island prison would unleash a “bloodbath with incalculable consequences.” The thug-in-chief, who has spent years crushing dissent, jailing protesters, and turning Cuba into a starving socialist dumpster fire, took to X to spew his hollow threats after explosive reports revealed his regime has been quietly amassing over 300 military drones from Russia and Iran. Just days ago, reports emerged that the Trump administration was weighing aggressive options amid growing national security concerns surrounding Cuba, while CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly warned Havana...

There are a number of questions regarding the whole Odyssey saga. One is how somebody as smart as Christopher Nolan got entangled with woke nonsense in the first place. (And yes, Nolan is smart – anybody who could take a storyline as convoluted as that of Memento and make it not only comprehensible but enthralling to the average audience is no slouch when it comes to intellect.) Another is why he felt compelled to pick up wokism just as it’s collapsing in the culture at large. It’s May 1945 in the Wachenbunker and everybody else is fleeing – but here...

MADISON, WI - Gas prices are up more than 50% since the war with Iran began, pushing more Americans to rethink how they get around. Public transportation is seeing a noticeable bump: Amtrak reports a 5% increase in passengers in March compared to a year ago. With jet fuel costs climbing and airfares rising about 15%, long-distance travelers are especially drawn to bus trips right now. Trailways, the largest network of bus companies in the U.S., saw a 5% increase in March year-over-year. Trailways President Alex Berardi confirms the increase is related to gas with the accelerated numbers in April,...

Five people have pleaded guilty in connection with the brutal beatdown in downtown Cincinnati that went viral last year. On Monday, four of the five individuals pleaded guilty to felony charges stemming from the fight, with a fifth person pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The charges stem from a violent fight that broke out on the corner of Fourth and Elm streets in downtown Cincinnati around 3 a.m. on July 26, 2025. Defense attorneys for those charged have insisted the fight was sparked after one of the victims allegedly directed a racial slur at a...

According to a statement released by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), archaeologists unearthed a mysterious tunnel beneath the streets of Jerusalem. During construction work near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, workers unexpectedly discovered the entrance to an ancient cavity, measuring 16 feet high and 10 feet wide, that was once accessed via a rock-cut staircase. At first researchers believed the passageway may have been part of an ancient water installation built to access underground springs, but this was subsequently ruled out, since the walls of the tunnel were not covered in plaster as they typically would have been. Geologists also found no...

Does the “Gray Lady” have a “longstanding Jewish problem“? That question may soon be answered in a Manhattan courtroom as the New York Times stands accused of an alleged attack piece on Israel. This week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he would sue the paper and columnist Nicholas Kristof for defamation over the publication of what he called a “blood libel.” The latest controversy emerged after the Times ran a Kristof column alleging widespread sexual abuse and torture of Palestinians, including the use of dogs to rape prisoners. The government denounced the column as “one of the most...

Finally, after years of gaslighting, lawfare, and corrupt media cover-ups, a top Trump DOJ official has stepped up and dropped the hammer on the biggest political crime in American history. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures and delivered a NUCLEAR truth bomb that Democrats, the fake news media, and the deep state have been desperately trying to bury for six long years. When Bartiromo pressed him on President Trump’s repeated claims that the 2020 election was rigged, Blanche didn’t mince words. Blanche confirmed that the DOJ is now running multiple criminal investigations into the...

Historically, several different nations lived in Ancient Palestine. The most famous of these are undoubtedly the Israelites, due to their rich history as described in the Bible. However, they are not the only nation that lived in the region in ancient times. Where was Ancient Palestine? Modern-day Palestine does not have the same boundaries as Ancient Palestine. Historically, starting with the Greeks, the term “Palestine” has been applied to the entire region that is now modern-day Israel and the State of Palestine. The ancient use of the word even applied to some of the lands east of the Jordan River...

To those who keep trying to convince me of a story I have already debunked: No, Barack Obama’s stolen Connecticut Social Security number did not originally belong to Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in 1890, lived in Connecticut, and allegedly died in Hawaii. Ludwig’s SSN was 045-26-xxxx and was assigned to him in 1951. Obama’s starts with 042 (when it should have started with the Hawaiian 575 or 576) and was issued on March 28, 1977. Madelyn Paine, Obama’s grandmother, did not work for Probate Court. She worked for the Bank of Hawaii as a Vice President (with only...

ABEL OVERHAULS PORTFOLIO Notable positions cut, Alphabet more than tripled, Delta is back Berkshire Hathaway’s equity portfolio got one of its biggest renovations ever during Greg Abel’s first three months as the company’s CEO, according to a new SEC filing. Two new names, Delta Air Lines and Macy’s , have been added to the list, along with increases for four holdings. Google parent Alphabet got the biggest boost as Berkshire increased the number of shares it owns by 224% in the first quarter. Given its size, the increase is almost certainly an Abel move that was either endorsed, or possibly...

Nineteen-thirty-six seemed like a turning point in America after seven years of the Great Depression. The stock market recovered to its 1929 levels, for which voters rewarded Franklin Delano Roosevelt with a second term, which unfortunately began with the country slipping back into recession in the spring of 1937. With that kind of good news you can forgive Hollywood for imagining, if only tentatively, that America had turned a corner. In the first scene of the 1936 screwball classic My Man Godfrey, we find William Powell's Godfrey in shabby surroundings, living in a shack in a garbage dump on the...

The Viking Herald reports that two rare English "Lamb of God" coins were recently unearthed in Jutland. During the eleventh century, English monarchs undertook various initiatives to try to ward off seemingly unending Viking attacks. Around 1009, King Æthelred the Unready even minted unusual coins in the hope of obtaining divine protection. The objects feature a lamb and a cross on one side -- a Christian motif alluding to Christ's sacrifice -- and a dove on the other, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Not only did these coins fail in their objective, they became somewhat coveted by Viking raiders,...

Democrats don’t want to admit it publicly, but they are still the same party that tried to ‘Defund the Police’ a few years ago. We know this because last week was National Police Week, and a Republican rep. from Iowa named Zach Nunn introduced a resolution to honor law enforcement officers. 173 Democrats voted against it. Every single Republican voted for it. This would seem to indicate that the Democrats have not changed at all. How else can their behavior be interpreted? FOX News reported: 173 House Democrats vote against resolution honoring police amid rising attacks House Democrats split over...

Los Angeles public libraries are being overwhelmed by violence, drug use and homelessness with frightened families and librarians saying once-safe community spaces are often no-go zones. Even enforcement measures designed to control disruptive behavior are now buckling under the strain. Temporary Suspension Letters — which ban unruly patrons from all library branches — have surged nearly 90% from 369 in 2023 to 700 suspensions in 2025. A California Post review of 911 logs obtained through a public records request found the emergency call outs were for assaults, criminal threats, drug use, theft, mental health crises and trespassing. And reported incidents...

Could the state of California actually be turning red? Early voters in the Golden State have already returned more than 900,000 ballots ahead of the June 2 Primary, showing a massive surge in Republican votes compared to four years ago for the governor’s race. A post on Saturday from the research firm Political Data (PDI) showed that out of 905,889 ballots that have been returned, 37% were from Republicans, with Republican returns up 11% compared to the same stage of the 2022 midterms. More shocking is the fact that the data showed 41% of Democrats who have returned their ballots,...
