The Bucks County, Pennsylvania McDonalds that hosted President Trump for his drive-thru stint on Sunday is reportedly beefing up its security after receiving an influx of threatening phone calls and social media messages. A Bucks County native, Jessica Mihos, walked into her local McDonalds only to find “several armed guards” planted at the fast food joint, she told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We walked in. It seemed fine. We ordered and we sat down, but then we looked to our left, and there were several armed guards just sitting there,” she said. The chairman of Pennsylvania’s delegation at the...

Suspects’ tattoos and social media posts indicate possible ties to a violent Venezuelan gang.

Today Immigration and Customs Enforcement released some utterly mind-boggling data. Biden and Harris have released killers and rapists into this country and not just a few. We have known about the problem, but enormity of this crime is just now surfacing. There are more than 13,000 non-detained illegal immigrants convicted of homicide currently inside the U.S., according to a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official. According to a letter ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, with statistics on non-detained non-citizens with criminal convictions still inside the U.S. Non-detained citizens include those apprehended at the...

Moderna Inc.’s cost-reduction plans, pipeline cuts and reined-in financial guidance, unveiled Thursday, triggered a wave of downgrades as analysts focused on longer timelines to launch some products and questioned when the company will return to profitability.One key concern: The company’s full-year 2025 revenue guidance, issued Thursday, is nearly 8% lower, at the midpoint, than its full-year 2024 guidance — which was recently trimmed back. The 2025 forecast, on the heels of the 2024 guidance cut issued when Moderna reported second-quarter earnings, “is likely making investors lose confidence” and battering the stock, Evercore ISI analyst Cory Kasimov said in a research...

The Biden administration is telling emergency room doctors they must perform emergency abortions when necessary to save a pregnant woman’s health. That's following last week's 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that failed to settle a legal dispute over whether state abortion bans override the federal law that requires hospitals to stabilize patients. The Health and Human Services agency

The White House is taking heat for statements on the deaths of a mother of five children in Maryland and a young Texas girl who were allegedly murdered by illegal aliens. The recent statements, which were short, did not comment on active police investigations regarding the two deaths, Fox News reported on Saturday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty,” the...

After more than three billion doses, the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is being withdrawn. However, its reputation was dented as unusual blood clots emerged as a rare side effect of the vaccine, and the UK turned to alternatives.

The final coal-fired power plants in New England are slated to shutter in the coming years, making it the second region to phase out the energy source that powered the U.S. economy for decades.

The nation’s top public health agency did not send an alert on COVID-19 vaccines and heart inflammation because officials were concerned they would cause panic, according to an email obtained by The Epoch Times. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021 drafted an alert for heart inflammation, or myocarditis, and the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Officials prepared to release it to the public, taking steps including having the agency’s director review the language, internal documents show. “The pros and cons of an official HAN are what the main discussion are right now,” Dr. Sara Oliver,...

Rabbis since the Middle Ages onwards have sought to prove the validity of the Torah and our belief in G-d from the story of G-d’s revelation to the whole Jewish people at Mount Sinai. As explained by Rabbi Judah Halevi in the Kuzari, the logic goes like this: If G-d had not actually appeared to all the Jewish people, then it would have been impossible for someone to write a book that would be adopted as truth by those people. Because Jews of previous generations accepted the Torah as truth and passed it down to subsequent generations, and ultimately to...

The Washington Post published then deleted a political cartoon depicting a spokesman for Hamas after the paper received backlash. Many readers felt the cartoon, which was published on Wednesday, was racist and offensive — promting WaPo opinion editor David Shipley to issue an apology. The cartoon by Michael Ramirez, which can still be found online...

The son of a Hamas founder said Hamas is even more dangerous than ISIS on Monday, claiming the mainstream media is afraid to call it a genocidal religious movement for fear of igniting a full-on religious war. "It's their own comparison to say Hamas and ISIS because I think Hamas is a lot more dangerous," Mosab Hassan Yousef told "FOX & Friends."

Gazans got permits to work inside Israel. They came as killers and rapists. October 18, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield 52 Comments Among the litter of guns, korans, and maps discarded by the Hamas terrorists whose bodies lie alongside bullet-riddled vehicles and dusty roads are green Gaza IDs with work permits. Normally residents of the Hamas territory can’t enter Israel, but work permits allowed over 20,000 Gazans to enter Israel. When some returned, it was as Hamas rapists and killers. The Hamas invasion succeeded so well because the terrorists had an intimate knowledge of the communities they were targeting because they...

SALINAS, Calif. — The defense in the Gustavo Morales murder trial started presenting their case Monday morning, and defense attorney Michael Belter wasted no time in putting the accused killer on the witness stand as his first witness.

Odds are, they were Hugo Chavez's shock troops, engaging in the invasion Hugo envisioned. A few weeks ago, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre assured a press questioner that Joe Biden "had done more than anyone to secure the border." (The wry Spanish comment, by noted Venezuelan film director Jonathan Jakubowicz, says: "At the rate we are going, there will soon be more Venezuelans in the U.S. than in Venezuela.") They are all single young men, marching in single file, the way people do who are certain they will not be cheated, so no need to rush, and one of them...

Abandoned by their families in hospital wards or on roadways, the kids at HaitiChildren have been diagnosed with a variety of disabilities, including Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autism and brain injury from seizures. At least one little boy is HIV positive. Those who do not use a wheelchair have difficulty walking. They are conditions that not only require specialized care but also make them outcasts. Stigmatized, they are called kokobe, meaning “cripple” in Creole. A gang invaded the orphanage last week, pointing their guns and searching the place as they taunted the kids in wheelchairs. “The gangs have been shouting,...

There are many fierce, hungry tigers living near your home and they are stalking your children. How best to protect your young ones: declaw the tigers, or equip your home with strong defenses so they cannot enter, and if they do they will be stopped dead? This is the essential question tragically raised once again in the bloody wake of the Tennessee Christian elementary school massacre. Anti-gun media talking heads, Democrat legislators, government officials, teachers’ Union chieftain Randi Weingarten, and Democrat gun-haters in general as usual are claiming the only way to stop these horrific attacks is declaw the tigers...

[H/T Grey_Whiskers]Nobody disagrees at this point that there is a plethora of excess deaths and a dearth of births, a trend that should be the number-one alarming public policy issue. Yet when any of us suggest that the gene therapy ubiquitously given to the world right around the time of the jump in these numbers might be responsible, people look at us like we are from Mars. However, it turns out, based on newly released FOIA documents from the CDC, that our government knew about and even anticipated massive reports of injuries from these shots from day one.Throughout the past...
