Editor-in-chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the “truth is the truth” in response to the Gold Star Family of Vanessa Guillén. Host Jake Tapper said, “You begin you article with a story related to Donald Trump and Vanessa Guillén. Vanessa was a 20-year-old army private. She was murdered at Fort Hood. Trump invited her family to the Oval Office in July of 2020. He offered to pay for her funeral.” He added, “We should note that Mark Meadows has denied this. Guillén sister posted on Twitter, ‘Wow, I don’t appreciate how you’re exploiting...

The American system worked for over two centuries because, for the most part, people played by the rules, which meant trying to make the more persuasive arguments that would result in honest election victories. However, socialism isn’t a “play by the rules” ideology. It is a “win at any cost” ideology. That brings us to Wayne County, Michigan (i.e., Detroit), which may be making up the rules as it goes along when it comes to poll watchers. Memorably, during the 2024 election, when Republican poll watchers tried to keep an eye on the ballot counting—which had shut down on election...

[Catholic Caucus] Chaldean Cardinal Rejects "Blessing" of Homosexual CouplesThe Chaldean Church, the Catholics in Iraq, rejects Francis’ homosexual pamphlet 'Traditionis custodes' and the [pseudo] blessing of homosexual couples.Their synod passed a resolution last week, Cardinal Louis Raphaël I. Sako announced on ChaldeanPatriarchate.com (July 22):"The Chaldean Church in Iraq and throughout the world does not consider same-sex unions to be marriage, as it considers marriage between a man and a woman to be the legally valid marriage for the establishment of a family. It refuses to bless same-sex unions in order to preserve the sanctity of marriage, which is one of...

The Senate Judiciary Committee torpedoed the nomination of Sarah Netburn Thursday to sit on the U.S. District Court in New York's Southern District. Netburn, nominated by President Joe Biden and recommended by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, had a record of transferring violent male rapists to women's prisons under the guise of being "transgender." The Senate Judiciary Committee just voted against Sarah Netburn’s nomination to be a district judge for the influential Southern District of New York.This is a MASSIVE victory for women EVERYWHERE.Why?Netburn insisted on housing a biological male serial rapist in a women’s prison, where he committed yet another...

Vladimir Putin joked about Tucker Carlson being rejected by the CIA after he finished college during his interview with the conservative polemist—his first with a western journalist since ordering the full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The interview was released on Carlson's website and X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday and covered Russian history, the war in Ukraine, NATO, imprisoned American journalist Evan Gershkovich and his relationships with Joe Biden and Donald Trump. During the conversation Putin discussed the 2014 Ukrainian Maidan revolution, which led to the ousting of then pro-Moscow Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, which he claimed took place...

The White House on Friday called it “incomprehensible” for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to block a new Advanced Placement (AP) course for high school students on African American studies. “It is incomprehensible to see … this ban or this block, to be more specific, that DeSantis has put forward,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters, noting the Biden administration does not play a role in dictating school curriculums.

A Florida man is facing a second-degree murder charge after police say he fatally stabbed a coworker who refused to date him. Delfina Pan, 28, worked at a Miami Beach restaurant with the suspect, 20-year-old Agustin Lucas Mariani. According to a police report obtained by NBC Miami, Mariani made several attempts to begin a relationship with Pan. She rebuffed his attempts. According to the police report, Pan left the restaurant on Nov. 29. The report alleges that a short time later, Mariani left the restaurant in the middle of his shift and showed up at Pan's apartment. When she refused...

The shares of a fake meat company beloved by global elites crashed a dramatic 19% on Wednesday, reeling from pitiful quarterly earnings reports and enduring resistance on the part of the public to replacing meat from western diets with bioengineered slop. Beyond Meat lost nearly a dollar per share on Wednesday, reporting a third-quarter net loss of $55 million. The company’s executives have consistently maintained that the western public is ready to replace real meat with its synthetic bioengineered plant-based products, which many nutritionists and medical experts question as potentially dangerous. Executives also admitted they expect a bevvy of marketing...

Prior to MAGA Trump supporters raising more than $2 million to help with his legal costs, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller publicly denounced help from the former president and his son, saying he would “rather sit in jail” than accept their support.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took a victory lap on Tuesday after voters rejected an effort to recall him from the governor’s mansion, casting his win as a rejection of “the negativity that’s defined our politics in this country over the course of so many years.” In remarks delivered in Sacramento minutes after he was declared the winner of the recall election, Newsom said that with his victory, Californians had voted to safeguard democracy, taking a swipe at his main Republican opponent, conservative radio host Larry Elder, and former President Donald Trump, who had raised baseless claims of fraud ahead of...

More Asian countries are abandoning Chinese vaccines and a Pacific Island nation had delayed the approval of them amid concerns raised about their reduced protection levels against CCP virus infections, giving more validation to a recent suggestion that the window of opportunity is narrowing for the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) so-called “vaccine diplomacy.”Millions of people have received Chinese-made Sinovac or Sinopharm vaccines across Asia, but Thailand and Indonesia in the past month decided to drop the Chinese vaccines as their main approach against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus.Thailand on July 12 said it would opt for the...

Christendom Is the Solution for the Emptiness of our Nihilistic Society Grave moral problems are tearing the country apart. For many, this is apparent in the form of broken homes, procured abortion, shattered communities and lost Faith. Many people get it right when pointing out the problems. However, they get it wrong when looking for solutions. Some get it wrong because they look for solutions that address symptoms, not causes. Others search for a way out that involves the least possible effort. In these politically correct times, people are told not to offend anyone by their proposals. Thus, they automatically...

In my experience, there are three top stumbling blocks or “turn-off’s” of Christianity that I see surface time after time with both non-Christians and believers who struggle in their faith. Although there are certainly other issues that crop up, here are the ones – from least to most problematic – that I’ve seen over and over again.Unanswered Prayer Near the end of the movie God’s Not Dead, the atheist college professor who has attacked and ridiculed his Christian student’s faith throughout the film admits that it was his mother’s death from an illness and his unanswered prayers for her healing...

Very few people today, even good Catholics, realize that to follow our human opinions or to cleverly change the truths, expressed in the doctrines of the Church, will have, afterwards, very great devastating effects both here on earth and after death, as seen in history and in the Old Testament. In the first centuries of the Church many wars were fought over these precious truths. Now few even care about these safeguards of life, liberty and happiness, now and for all eternity! This is why today the very numerous followers of Satan can EASILY LEAD THE GREAT MAJORITY WHERE THEY...

CCTV footage showing a man punching a teenage girl to the ground for rejecting him has been released as police hunt the perpetrator. Gabrielle Walsh, 18, went to hospital for an eye injury after she reportedly told the man, who was following her: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are seeking three men filmed on CCTV in Manchester city centre at around 3.30am on July 13. The offender, along with two other men, then launched an attack on a man Mrs Walsh was accompanying. Senior Investigating Officer, Constable Ben Lomax of GMP’s City Centre Division said: “We...

Bad teaching is a common explanation given for the disastrously inadequate public education received by America’s most vulnerable populations. This is a myth. Aside from a few lemons who were notable for their rarity, the majority of teachers I worked with for nine years in New York City’s public school system were dedicated, talented professionals. Before joining the system I was mystified by the schools’ abysmal results. I too assumed there must be something wrong with the teaching. This could not have been farther from the truth. Teaching French and Italian in NYC high schools I finally figured out why...

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland says she had a second kidney transplant last year, replacing a kidney from her father with one from her brother. Hyland detailed her lifelong health struggles in an interview in Self magazine, and tweeted Monday that she hopes it "spreads awareness of organ donation" and "brings a sense of support" to the "beautiful warriors" in the chronically ill community. The 28-year old, who has appeared on the ABC sitcom Modern Family since she was 18, was born with kidney dysplasia, which causes cysts to grow on underdeveloped kidneys.

Remote got snippy when users asked it to play episodes of 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.' Comcast's Xfinity X1 Voice Remote is supposed to be state-of-the-art cable TV tech, allowing subscribers to speak relatively complex commands to the cable box. Not only can you ask it to fast-forward, pause and rewind, it can also answer tougher questions ("What's that song on the soundtrack?") and scour the cable guide for specific movies and shows. It’s also award-winning, scoring a 2017 Red Dot Design Award from the international design competition. But there is one glitch. Two users have confirmed to THR that...

CNN host Alisyn Camerota expressed surprise during a Friday interview that any colleges turned down David Hogg, the Parkland, Fla., high school student who has become a major figure in the nation's gun violence debate. Fox News host Laura Ingraham apologized to Hogg and lost advertisers after she mocked him on Twitter for being rejected by four colleges. “I am stunned that four colleges rejected you,” Camerota said on Friday. “What kind of dumbass colleges don’t want you? You have taken the country by storm. How do you explain this? Did they reject you before the Parkland massacre?”
