A Pennsylvania man accused of pillaging a historic cemetery for human remains was charged Thursday with 300 counts tied to what prosecutors say was a home stash of more than 100 sets of bones and body parts. Delaware County prosecutors said Jonathan Gerlach, 34, of Ephrata was hit with 100 counts each of abuse of a corpse, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property after detectives spotted “numerous bones and skulls in plain view” inside his car during a stakeout at Mount Moriah Cemetery on Tuesday night.

Conan O’Brien during an appearance at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom. Comedian and talk show host Conan O’Brien has urged fellow comedians to stop crying about President Trump. Without calling them out by name, O’Brien criticized the likes of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, who spend most of their airtime harping on about the current administration. He explained during an appearance at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom: Some comics go the route of “I’m going to just say “F Trump” all the time’… that’s their comedy. And I think well now, a little bit, you’re being…
The latest indictment of the left’s immigration initiative, often described as suicidal empathy in its emphasis on refugees and other marginalized groups, can be seen in an action taken by the United Arab Emirates. The UAB has stripped state funding for citizens seeking to study in the United Kingdom out of fear of Emirati students being radicalized by Muslim Brotherhood Islamists at British universities.

WASHINGTON (CN) — The Supreme Court on Friday threw out a procedural limit preventing a Florida man from challenging a conviction that the justices recently invalidated.In a 5-4 ruling, the justices sided with Michael Bowe, a federal inmate, rejecting the government’s limits on the number of times a federal inmate can challenge the legality of their sentence.“If Bowe were in state custody, then the government would be correct,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a Barack Obama appointee, wrote for the majority. “He is not.”Justices Elena Kagan, another Obama appointee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Joe Biden appointee, Chief Justice John Roberts, a George…
I do believe that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent’s announcement on Laura Ingraham’s show, which was broadcast from Minneapolis last night, is going to become one of my ‘Hell, yeah I voted for this!’ triggers.

The former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, spoke with local news after visiting his high school alma mater in Minneapolis, and is piping mad over ICE deportations and the fatal shooting of a menacing protester. He invoked the Constitution several times during his tirade, claiming that the Trump administration is ignoring it for snatching people off the streets, while he completely ignored the growing evidence of widespread fraud perpetrated by foreign-born bad actors in his state and beyond. Ventura also thought that he might be the answer to Minnesota’s many problems. “Maybe, it’s time for Jessee — only did one…
In today’s article, ‘When Ramming ICE Became a Liberal Trend’, I noted that there had been over 100 such attacks in a year and that the rate is picking up.

(Notably the officer in that confrontation had been previously dragged by a vehicle that he tried to stop.)

“Do no harm.” It’s one of the first principles of ethical medical care, dating back to the ancient Greeks. But political pressure and a false understanding of patient autonomy have instead forced physicians to violate their patients’ dignity and their own conscience. It’s a troubling paradigm shift in modern medicine, especially in the OB-GYN field. Physicians are reduced to simple service providers, dispensing whatever the patient requests, rather than practicing thoughtful, evidence-based care. Consequently, prominent institutions, including the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, now disregard physicians’ fundamental right to act in accordance with their moral principles and true care for their patients. As a devout Catholic whose conscience rights were…

A pair of House Democrats plan to introduce legislation to strip Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of qualified immunity in the wake of a deadly Minneapolis shooting involving an officer.Qualified immunity refers to a legal principle of shielding law enforcement from civil lawsuits unless they violate someone’s constitutional rights.

Four of the five liberal late night comedy shows focused a lot of energy on their Thursday episodes on the situation in Minneapolis. According to them, the administration is lying about the female driver being a threat to the ICE agent who shot her, people who agree with the administration are fascists, and Trump plans to use the situation to further his goal of governing without elections. After playing a clip of DHS chief Kristi Noem claiming the driver rammed the agents, The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert quipped on CBS, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear you lying over…
The long, useless voyage of the rusty old scow Bella 1, temporarily renamed Marinera to save itself, ended with the release of Russians on board.
