Iran-backed Houthi terrorists killed at least 12 people, including an American, and wounded more than 300 others in a missile attack on Saudi Arabia’s busiest airport Saturday, as President Donald Trump weighs joining Saudi-led military strikes against the group. The attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh struck a complex housing two passenger terminals, sending travelers fleeing, overwhelming nearby hospitals, and forcing authorities to suspend operations at the kingdom’s principal aviation hub. Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation confirmed 12 fatalities and 309 injuries, including several people in critical condition. The dead included four Saudis, two Bangladeshis, and…

A Virginia legislative commission backed proposed protections for artificial intelligence chatbot users Thursday.The Joint Commission on Technology and Science accepted recommendations organized around six policy principles to guide legislation in the next General Assembly session. The proposals include parental controls, reminders to take breaks and protocols for responding to people at risk of harming themselves or others. They would require legislation before becoming law. Costs and responsibility for enforcement remain unresolved. Del.

The Democratic Party’s candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, James Talarico, has a record that looks very different from the outward-facing moderation he now shows voters, with less than one month to go before November’s midterm elections. The model is not atypical. Candidates on both sides of the aisle often espouse views further to the left and right fringes during primaries before moderating as the general election nears, attempting to appeal more to center-left, center-right voters or independent voters who may cross over and vote for them. Talarico’s radical — and changing — stances on sex, minors and LGBTQ issues In…
Arizonans have a chance on Nov. 3 to strengthen Arizona’s state law preventing biological males from competing in female sports.Currently Arizona is one of 27 states with a law that stops transgender athletes from playing in female sports. Proposition 318 would expand the requirement for athletic associations sponsoring interscholastic or intramural sports to classify teams by biological sex. Current state law only requires public and private schools to do this. The proposition would also prevent schools and athletic associations from letting biological males use female athletes’ locker rooms, bathrooms or other private spaces “integral to athletic engagement.” Proposition 318 would…
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration expects to complete a sweeping safety review of the abortion pill mifepristone by March 2027, according to a new federal court filing in Louisiana, potentially setting the stage for restrictions on how the drug is prescribed and distributed nationwide.The agency disclosed the timeline Wednesday in a status report submitted to U.S. District Judge David Joseph in Lafayette, where Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is challenging federal regulations that allow abortion pills to be prescribed remotely and delivered through the mail. The FDA expects to obtain results from a major safety study by mid-December, with…
Famed Harvard University Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he believes ex-prosecutor Jack Smith trampled civil liberties during his pursuit of President Donald Trump by tracking the calls of Congress, defense lawyers and campaign aides, and he urged the Justice Department to impose new rules to rein in such phone surveillance.“What we need are Justice Department rules that are enforceable, that indicate when you can do what investigative tasks,” Dershowitz told Just the News. “You can’t leave it only up to the Constitution and the courts because something can be constitutional and still very very dangerous for civil liberties,…
Movie producer Kari Hollend didn’t immediately notice what she now calls a coordinated effort to demonize Israel following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.But Warren Kinsella did. “He understood very quickly on October 8,” Hollend says of Kinsella, a political strategist and cultural observer. “’I [now] know what a campaign looks like. No way you have a movement that big, organizing the people the next day.’” Kinsella wrote “The Hidden Hand: The Information War and the Rise of Antisemitic Propaganda.” The book reveals what has come to be believed as an expansive plan to turn that horrible day into a weapon against…
Fourteen Democratic states have joined in filing a federal complaint that attempts to recoup over $100 million in federal grants included in a Biden-era COVID-19 relief package that the Trump administration canceled last year.The complaint was filed Friday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and argues the Trump Labor Department committed a breach of contract in canceling the grants – intended to modernize “outdated” IT systems in state unemployment systems. The bill led to $780 million being awarded to states to modernize such systems. Roughly $45 million in grants were terminated, following the Labor Department decision that was announced…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Newspaper endorsements don’t carry all of the weight that they used to, but when a newspaper endorses a Republican candidate, people take notice because it doesn’t happen very often. The media is the media and they are overwhelmingly liberal. It is in that spirit that people are noticing the fact that the ‘Duluth News Tribune’ has endorsed Republican Michele Tafoya for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Didn’t have this Duluth News Tribune endorsement on my bingo card… or their criticism of Flanagan. What’s weird is every DFL candidate they did endorse also shares the same record as…

Now it’s Transgenders of the American Revolution.October 11, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield Leave a Comment Woke 1 was so crazy? No, Woke 1 is still so crazy. It’s so crazy that not only did the Daughters of the American Revolution accept transgender men as members (that is men who falsely claim to be women), but that the organization leadership threatened and has now moved to disband the Martha Laird Chapter which was fighting to keep men out. A DAR chapter in Texas recently sent a letter to its national leadership pushing back against their decision to allow biological men who…

Glock – viva RGP Customs As we all know, the left never stops pushing for greater gun control. It doesn’t matter how bad crime gets, they never give up the issue. Every year, there are examples of law abiding people using guns to defend themselves and their fellow Americans but the gun-grabbing left just doesn’t care. The gun control group ‘March for Our Lives’ recently posted a fun fact on Twitter/X and thought they were being clever and making an anti-gun point. Other Twitter/X users flipped the script and their responses are great. This is the original tweet: The United…

Voters who backed President Donald Trump in 2024 are less enthusiastic about casting ballots in the upcoming midterm elections than those who supported former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Oct. 8, 2026. It measured stated likelihood of voting, interest in the election, and enthusiasm compared with other voter groups, and it represents a snapshot of opinion at the time. Reuters reported the findings as Republicans defend narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress in the Nov. 3 elections [1][2]. The enthusiasm gap arrives amid other signs of softening support for the president. Poll Methodology and…
President Donald Trump’s surprise pledge that the U.S. would not resume airstrikes against Iran before the midterm elections failed to reverse a sharp jump in oil prices Thursday, according to market data cited by NBC News. Oil markets largely ignored the pledge. After having risen as high as almost $106 per barrel, Brent crude oil closed at $104.28, a rise of 4%, according to the report. Other critical energy prices also looked past Trump’s post. Benchmark diesel futures spiked 6% in European trading.

Micron Technology, Nvidia and other artificial-intelligence-related chip stocks declined Thursday, Oct. 8, after investors reacted to a report on OpenAI’s revenue, according to the Financial Times (FT). The report said OpenAI told investors its annualized revenue was near $50 billion in late September, about $20 billion below its earlier $70 billion projection. Annualized revenue is calculated by taking revenue from a short period and multiplying it to estimate a full-year figure. The selloff extended beyond one company, reflecting how closely AI chip demand is tied to a small number of large technology customers, the report stated. OpenAI Revenue Projection ReportFT reported…
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday that it will propose to loosen restrictions that rein in methane from oil and gas production, according to a press release from the agency [1]. The move is part of a broad Trump administration effort to slash regulations that officials say burden businesses as the government seeks to boost fossil fuel production [2]. The announcement was made by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin at the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association’s annual meeting, where he told attendees the agency’s program that allows third parties to identify and report large methane leaks was under review [3].…
People with insomnia had a 26% higher relative hazard of stroke compared with people without insomnia, and 28% higher odds of hospital admission for any reason, according to a new umbrella review published in Sleep Medicine Reviews. The findings also showed associations between insomnia and dementia, depression, and suicide-related outcomes, but no association with mortality, the authors reported. The authors emphasized that the findings do not prove that insomnia causes these conditions, only that it may serve as a signal of increased health risks [1]. The research adds to a body of evidence connecting chronic sleep disruption to long-term health…
A landmark study using artificial intelligence to analyze Google Street View images found that neighborhoods with more visible trees are linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, while areas dominated by grass are associated with a higher risk. The research followed nearly 90,000 female nurses for 18 years. It innovatively used AI on street-level images to assess daily environmental exposure, moving beyond simple satellite “greenness” measures. Researchers suggest trees provide multifaceted benefits grass lacks, including cooling shade, air pollution filtration, noise reduction and encouragement of walkability. Grass-dominated areas often correlate with car-dependent sprawl and pollutant-generating maintenance. The protective association…
Black Coffee Linked To Longer Life, But Sugar And Cream May Undo Benefits – New Study Reveals Black Coffee Linked to 14% Lower Death Risk in 46,000 Americans The association strengthened at higher intake. At two to three cups per day, Tufts University reported the link rose to 17% [1][2]. The apparent benefit did not hold, however, for coffee prepared with heavy amounts of added sugar and saturated fat. In the Tufts data, that combination showed no lower risk of death at all [3]. The findings add to an existing body of research on coffee and mortality. A comprehensive review…
Research links common nitrates in water and processed meats to increased dementia risk A large, long-term study links dietary nitrates from processed meats and drinking water to an increased risk of dementia, while nitrates from vegetables are associated with a reduced risk. The key difference is the source: vegetables provide antioxidants that help convert nitrates into beneficial compounds, but processed meats and water lack these protective elements, potentially allowing harmful substances to form. The research raises a significant public health concern by finding an increased dementia risk from nitrate levels in drinking water at just one-tenth of the current EU/U.K.…

Around the same time that the CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery after an appearance with Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrating the progress of the ‘train-to-nowhere’, Democrats were moving…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Scott Jennings recently caused a total meltdown from his fellow CNN panelists by asking a simple question. Democrat strategist Alencia Jonson was talking about the SAVE America Act and repeatedly claimed that it would ‘take voting rights away’ from black people and others. Scott simply asked, “how?” Naturally, she can’t give Scott an answer, so she filibusters by repeating the claim, and Jennings keeps asking, “how?” Host Abby Phillip then rides in to rescue the liberal panelist like she always does and things get even crazier from there.

People shot by law enforcement are rarely innocent. That held true for the BLM police shootings where the suspect invariably turned out to have a criminal record longer than the EU Constitution, and it holds just as true for the ICE shootings because, contrary to what the media may be claiming, immigration law enforcement isn’t busting innocent people minding their own business. So when Zohran Mamdani rushed to rally for an illegal alien gang member shot during a confrontation with ICE, the odds were good that this stuff would come out, and it would shed an ugly light on not…
Trump-Endorsed Texas Republican Senate Nominee Ken Paxton revealed in newly released audio tapes that John Cornyn, still triggered by his primary loss to the MAGA favorite, wants him to lose and “to teach those Republicans a lesson.” Cornyn allegedly said, “It’s going to be hard to learn, but they need to know that their decisions have consequences. We need to make sure they understand it.” This is the latest leak from a series of audio tapes recorded at a September 24 gathering in DC.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau hit back Saturday after former Obama ambassador Ivo Daalder criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s foreign travel. Landau reposted Daalder’s post on X and accused him of expressing a foreign policy establishment view that places too much importance on approval from European capitals while looking down on diplomacy in the Western Hemisphere. Daalder, who served as the U.S. ambassador to NATO from 2009 to 2013 under Obama, questioned both Rubio’s destinations and his attention to major international issues. “Secretaries of State travel the world, to our biggest allies and to address the most pressing…

And that is the important point here,” Wren said.

By Rep. Braxton Mitchell Please follow us on X and Telegram Years after its passage, the real-world consequences of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are clear. Rather than taming consumer prices through the market signals of supply and demand, the law imposed price controls in major sectors like energy and healthcare. By replacing price discovery with central planning, the IRA fueled faster inflation and suppressed innovation. These results were forecast before the IRA was enacted, and now four years later those predictions have proved correct. There’s no reason to allow Biden’s IRA to continue to drive inflation further—it’s time for Congress to…
