NHS staff have been told that converting to Islam would be the "best decision you'll ever make" in a guide made by the organisation's Muslim Network. *snip* It was written by and handed out to staff, according to GB News, and addresses the reader as "convert".

The apparent silver lining: Those who failed to register could be charged with felonies and deported. The Oversight Project sent a Freedom of Information request earlier this year to the U.S. Selective Service System seeking data on illegal aliens who failed to register for the draft. Now with the responses in, it appears that the watchdog group's hypothesis — both that the SSS during former President Joe Biden's tenure made little effort to ensure that male illegal aliens ages 18-26 were registered for the draft, as required by law, and that multitudes of military-age male illegal aliens likely slipped through...

A trans-identified male quietly dominated his age category at a national swimming championship held in Texas over the weekend, prompting concern from women’s rights groups. Ana Caldas, formerly known as Hugo Caldas and Hannah Caldas, took home multiple titles at the event.

The race to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) may soon be blown wide open in a big way, according to a report that Scott Jennings is mulling whether to launch his own campaign. The pro-Trump CNN commentator stands ready and at the president’s service should he be needed, Jennings said last week. “If the president wants me, I’ll run,” he told a reporter during a Washington, D.C., afterparty following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Leveraging President Donald Trump’s support in a state he won by over 30 points last year is critical to winning Kentucky’s Republican primary, a sharp-elbowed affair...

A decade ago, if a woman ran a sub-three-hour Boston Marathon only six months after giving birth, she was pretty much guaranteed a fawning spread in a fitness magazine. But last week, only days after running the vaunted race in 2:50:04, new mom Natalie Daniels was booted from her running club in the DC metro area. The reason? She spoke up about fairness in women’s sports. Daniels doesn’t believe that trans runners should take up women’s spots in races — especially in Boston, which caps the number of marathon participants

Virginia Republicans have a lot of challenges going into the 2025 statewide elections: An electorate that has generally (though not always) tilted Democratic. A long-standing historical trend of Virginians electing a governor from whatever party isn’t in control in Washington. Donald Trump in the White House, when that led to record Democratic victories last time. A playing field where eight Republican-held House of Delegates seats are in districts that voted Democratic last year and could do so again this fall. There are two big things, though, that Republicans thought they had in their favor: Glenn Youngkin has been a popular...

On a morning in early April, Geoffrey Chanda's phone was going off almost constantly. Truck drivers were calling him. "They are crying: 'We've got no [HIV] medicine. Where do you get [it] from?' " says Chanda, 54. For 15 years, Chanda has been meeting truckers in dusty parking lots at the border of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo to give them their HIV medications. Now, he says, he doesn't know what to tell them. He's lost his job as a community health worker. The U.S.-funded program he worked for — which supported the mobile clinic where he collected...

Much of human history only makes sense in light of the persistent influence of eschatology — a word of Greek origin that means “the study of last things.” This is because many of the most significant historical movements and events have been driven, in one way or another, by eschatological beliefs. The Second World War was motivated in part by Hitler’s promise of a “thousand-year Reich,” an idea that mirrored Christianity’s prophecy of a future “Millennial Kingdom” following the Battle of Armageddon. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that roughly 4 in 10 American adults believe that we are...

Washington is overrun with hacks who talk big about stopping corruption, but Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) is putting his money where his mouth is, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.Moreno signed on to cosponsor Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) landmark legislation to ban congressional stock trading, an issue many Americans believe to be among the most significant marks of public corruption in Washington.The PELOSI Act was reintroduced Monday, Breitbart News’s Elizabeth Weibel reported. The bill, formally titled the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, would “amend chapter 131 of title 5, United States Code, to prohibit transactions involving...

The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second administration are being marked by international economic victories, domestic manufacturing wins, and record deportations of illegal immigrants. However, one ignominious milepost of the mainstream media’s coverage has been the president’s declining poll numbers, with continual reports that they are at the lowest point in modern history. Not so, one pollster told Fox News who shot down the notion that President Trump’s numbers are in “free fall.” Those results, proffered by multiple media outlets and private pollsters, don’t square with others showing Trump voters remain happy with their choice in November. “None...

As the single largest player in the ecommerce industry, Amazon generates between 10% and 15% of global online sales. In its home market, the US ecommerce giant makes up to 40% of total ecommerce sales and generates the highest revenue in three out of four major product categories, outperforming competitors by a large margin.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) — The Fairfield Police Department is clearing up some confusion surrounding screaming and running crowds at the McKinley Carnival at Jennings Beach Saturday night.

I'm in Orlando for a business meeting, staying at a resort/meeting hotel. I came down from Central NH on a day when the high temperature was 48. It was 97 in Orlando. It's been very nice to be outdoors when it's this warm, even at night. I like it. But the indoor temperature at this hotel, in public areas, restaurants, and corridors is FREEZING. Like 60F, with AC runnning full blast. Is this normal for you all? Does it mess you up to have a 30 degree temp change when you go in and out of doors? Just asking.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued that the Biden administration should simply ignore a judicial decision she dissented from during an appearance on CNN in 2023. Vice President JD Vance’s comments about the role of the judiciary have been the subject of much consternation from Democrats in recent days. In reference to a series of court decisions blocking the Trump administration’s, Vance mused on social media that “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as...

In this explosive House Judiciary Committee hearing, Chairman Jim Jordan grills legal experts and witnesses over Judge Boasberg’s controversial role in high-profile Trump cases. From his decisions on FISA warrants to the "turn the plane around" order involving violent criminals, critics argue Judge Boasberg shows clear bias and should recuse himself from upcoming Trump-related cases. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich calls out a "coup" against the American people, slamming illegal actions by government agencies and suggesting Congress must act — through legislation, oversight, and the power of the purse — to restore the rule of law.

OTTAWA — President Donald Trump has an Election Day message for Canadians: The Canada-U.S. border is artificial, and you should become the 51st state. “Good luck to the Great people of Canada,” Trump said on Truth Social at 8:36 a.m. ET on Monday as polls in parts of the country were opening, landing on the morning of one of the most consequential elections in decades. “No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be,” he said. It was not actually clear which Canadian leader Trump was favoring with his latest post. The...

SNIP To understand the text, we need to know a little about the obelisk’s history. Before it was gifted to Paris, the monument used to be one of two that stood outside the Luxor Temple in Upper Egypt. Both pillars were built around the 13th century BCE, at the time of Ramses II’s reign. But at this time, the obelisk that is now in Paris would have had a face that could be seen by passengers traveling along the Nile River, and it is from this angle (around 45°) that the secret message is visible.“When I calculated where to stand...

Rodrigues was arrested as part of a broader investigation into an alleged coup plot against the newly-elected President Lula da Silva. The 39-year-old hairdresser apologised for writing "You lost, idiot" on the statue of Justice outside the Supreme Federal Court - an incident dubbed the "lipstick coup". She maintains that she did not take part in any violence. "I went to the protests and I didn't imagine that they would be so turbulent," said Rodrigues. "I have never done anything illegal in my life". Rodrigues' lawyers said that she did not enter any buildings during the riots and acted impulsively...

Adam Schiff: "If the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o'clock at night believes that Democrats are a---h---s because the shampoo was locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we've got a major problem that we have to address."
