Archaeologists in Egypt have made a remarkable discovery with the unearthing of two ancient churches believed to be over 1,500 years old.

Within the debris of what was once an early Coptic city, they found significant remnants that…
The New York Times has launched another misleading narrative, this time attempting to redefine the radical beliefs of Zohran Mamdani, the far-left Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City. Contrary to the paper’s assertions, Mamdani has consistently and openly embraced socialist ideals…yet the article seeks to frame him as anything but. Following Mamdani’s primary victory, former President Donald Trump labeled him a “100 percent communist lunatic.” The Times responded by denying the label, insisting that Mamdani is merely a “democratic socialist.” They claimed, “He is a democratic socialist, which means his beliefs are similar to those of socialists but not…

Nostalgia reigns in a recent social media clip featuring Johnny Carson, the late-night television legend.

Kennedy pointedly discussed the escalating crime and violence under Newsom’s governorship, suggesting that instead of…

Others disagree!” Trump emphasized the urgency of the matter, demanding an immediate answer amidst ongoing debates surrounding vaccine efficacy. He pointed out that there is a significant disconnect between the data he has seen and what has been publicly shared. “I…

President Donald Trump’s provocative maneuvers in cities like Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles have turned crime into a potent electoral weapon. His actions are not merely stunts; they aim to distract from the economic difficulties facing the country while putting Democrats on the defensive.

Kentucky’s recent decision to backtrack on a scholarship policy for illegal immigrants marks a notable shift in the state’s approach to immigration and education. Amid pressures from the Trump Administration and federal legal standards, this change stands out in a state that primarily leans conservative. The scholarship program, which had allowed undocumented students to receive in-state tuition benefits, drew significant criticism for prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens. Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman articulated the legal basis for this reversal, pointing to 18 USC 1623, which stipulates that non-citizens are generally ineligible for state education benefits unless those same benefits…

Protests have become almost commonplace in political life today. This is particularly true for Democrats, who gather in parks adorned with paint and markers, intent on making their voices heard. Group chats explode with questions about locations and strategies for the day’s rally. During the first Trump term, the atmosphere in Washington, D.C., was often dominated by the echoes of protests.

Many joined in the chants and the crowds, rallying for causes like Black Lives Matter, believing in the power…
In a startling turn of events, Judge James Boasberg, known for his controversial rulings, has released Nathalie Rose Jones, a woman who made serious threats against President Trump.

Ali Velshi’s recent monologue on MSNBC is raising eyebrows, with some claiming it reveals a troubling mindset on the left. Known for standing outside a burning building during the 2020 riots and labeling it mostly a protest, Velshi’s credibility appears to be in question once again.
