One of the victims who died in the Manchester synagogue attack was likely shot by armed officers aiming for the killer, police said on Friday. The admission came the day after at least two Jewish worshipers were killed and three others seriously injured in a car ramming and stabbing attack outside a synagogue in the English city of Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The suspected attacker was also killed by police. Manchester police Chief Constable Stephen Watson said that according to a preliminary assessment of the Home Office pathologist, one of the deceased victims “would appear...

The most recent slate of games across the NCAA was littered with some incredible football. From four top-10 teams taking L's to Oregon quarterback Dante Moore cementing his spot in the Heisman Trophy race, it's hard—and incredibly sad—to fathom that we're already through the month of September.

SACRAMENTO, California — Gavin Newsom just undid one of the most contentious policies Kamala Harris championed during her time as San Francisco district attorney. The California governor today signed a bill ending a policy punishing parents for their children’s chronic truancy — a measure that became a flashpoint in Harris’ 2020 presidential primary campaign.

@Nigel_Farage We are a country that allows peaceful protest, but we are not one that allows the celebration of murder. My statement on the Manchester terrorist attack.

An Islamist terrorist who killed two men outside a synagogue came to the UK from Syria as a young child and grew up just around the corner from the site of the attack. Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, who was shot dead minutes after he targeted Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester yesterday, is understood to have been granted British citizenship in 2006 when he was a teenager, aged around 16. His innocent victims have been named as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66. They were both members of Manchester's Jewish community.

Dame Sarah Mullally has been named the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England's history. A former chief nursing officer for England, Dame Sarah is now Archbishop of Canterbury-designate, ahead of a legal ceremony expected in the coming months to confirm her position as the Church's top bishop. She was selected to replace Justin Welby, who was forced to stand down last year over his handling of the Church of England's worst child abuse scandal.

Educators and a top California lawmaker are demanding an investigation into an elementary school teacher who shared a photo in a work group chat showing a black toddler wearing an ankle monitor. John Solomon, a fifth-grade teacher at MacArthur Elementary School in Lakewood and a prominent leader in the Teachers Association of Long Beach, is under fire after a colleague shared the distasteful message he sent about their young students in May. In the text to the 11-member group chat, Solomon included a photo of a cartoon black toddler smiling while wearing an ankle monitor on one foot, according to...

Trump tweeted Tyrus 2:30 a.m. and got him in trouble with his wife. Filled up all of California's reservoirs, and Gavin Newsance is PO'd about it.

@RupertLowe10 We must stop importing those who hate Britain and wish to do us harm. We must start deporting those foreign nationals who hate Britain and wish to do us harm. If that means revoking citizenships from dual nationals on an industrial scale, then that is what must happen. We must stop tolerating the intolerable. This has gone on for too long, with too much harm, death and suffering inflicted along the way. We have welcomed in, and continue to welcome in, foreigners who hate everything that we stand for - almost every day, unvetted men from backward cultures are...

CNN's Jake Tapper confronted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., on Wednesday about Medicaid funding for "noncitizens," as the Democratic lawmaker argued his party was trying to save healthcare. Tapper asked Jeffries about the extension of Obamacare subsidies after the government shut down on Wednesday when Democrats and Republicans in the Senate failed to reach a spending agreement before the end of fiscal year 2025 on Sept. 30. The CNN host said Republicans "characterize it as you want to give health insurance to undocumented immigrants. I understand that's not really an accurate depiction." Jeffries responded, "It's a lie." "It's a...

“‘The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him’” (John 3:35–36). Because of His love for the Son, the Father has given Him supreme authority over all things on earth and in heaven (Matt. 11:27; 28:18; Phil. 2:9–11). That supremacy is a clear indicator of His deity. John’s affirmation of Jesus’ absolute authority demonstrated his humble attitude, even as his own heralding ministry faded into the background....

The American people have woken up to the dangerous and hateful fraud that is the legacy media. According to Gallup, which has measured trust in mass media for 50 years, that trust just hit another record low.Only 28 percent trust the corporate media. (snip) Then there was 2004’s Rathergate—that glorious scandal that exposed CBS News, 60 Minutes, and Dan Rather as hoaxsters and fraudsters, as Democrat Party pimps willing to do anything to destroy a Republican president in the middle of a tight reelection campaign. Everyday people online quickly proved that the documents CBS produced to prove George W. Bush...
