Vice President JD Vance isn’t out of the 2028 presidential race — at least not yet.
Detractors and even some well-wishers began writing his political obituary after Republicans’ historic drubbing in the midterm elections, surmising that the vice president — tied to a president with an all-time low approval rating — sees the 2028 election as a lost cause.
Alocal school board meeting in Jacksonville, Florida, morphed into a raucous discussion of free speech and Islam Wednesday, as more than 100 people signed up to comment, primarily on the reported posts of a board member who questioned the religious nature of Islam. One week earlier on Nov. 3, the Florida chapter of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, demanded that school board member’s resignation over an apparent Facebook share declaring, “We got lost in the myth that Islam is a religion.”
In Dearborn, Michigan, and in Minneapolis, Minnesota, mosques can blast Muslim prayers five times a day.
Yet, if a Christian church tried to similarly blast sermons, or even bells, they would quickly be shut down.
Officials, and the separation of church and state folks, would be on them in a heartbeat.
On June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy, just hours after winning the Democratic presidential primary in California and likely on his way to nomination as the Democratic candidate in the upcoming election, was assassinated by Jordanian immigrant Sirhan Sirhan.
Cornell University is in the news and for all the wrong reasons. Yet whatever you think of the horrendous frat scandal that’s been dominating social media conversation, there’s one angle to the story, and to Cornell more generally, that’s gone largely unexplored: class.
Recent research backs up what we already know: the wealthy have a much easier time getting into elite schools like Cornell than everyone else. That elite education then places these young adults at even greater advantage, with Ivy League graduates wildly overrepresented among Fortune 500 CEOs, the New York Times editorial board, and other top institutions.
When Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) handily won reelection on November 3, she used her victory speech to wax defiant at the Trump administration over the federal immigration fraud investigation hanging over her head, which, I guess, she figured had failed to do what it was supposed to.
The previously deported Honduran man accused of trying to storm the cockpit of a United Airlines flight was granted asylum after saying he feared he would be killed in Honduras because he is transgender, the Department of Homeland Security told the Washington Examiner.
In a statement issued Thursday morning, the DHS said Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, had been deported twice before returning to the United States and applying for asylum. The department said he told authorities he feared being killed in Honduras because he was transgender and that an immigration judge later granted his application during President Donald Trump’s first term.
President Trump vowed Thursday that he would double all current US tariffs on Mexico if America’s southern neighbor allowed a caravan of more than 1,000 migrants to reach the border.
“Here we go again!” Trump began a lengthy post on Truth Social. “With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms – I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico. Many of the people in these Caravans are those that various countries don’t want – “Send them to America,” they say – But they will not be accepted!
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadians and Americans are frustrated with the high cost of groceries, electricity, and gas, but political fallout from that anxiety looks very different on either side of the border.
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians surveyed recently by Abacus Data — 63 per cent — said the rising cost of living was among the top three issues facing the country, making it the single highest-ranked concern. In the United States, 89 per cent — nearly 9 in 10 voters — said the cost of living had a crucial or major impact on their midterm vote, according to an NBC exit poll.
Nato officials fear a senior US soldier accused of spying for Russia may have had access to the alliance’s secret military plans.
The US serviceman was arrested by British counter-terror police in Gloucestershire on Monday night over allegations of espionage.
The 41-year-old soldier is believed to have held the rank of officer and was based at Imjin Barracks, the headquarters of the Nato Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
Immigration Is ‘Literal’ Suicide
In the wake of the Democratic Party’s wave of wins in last week’s U.S. midterm elections, Canadians’ perception of their southerly neighbour has softened somewhat, according to a new poll.
Before probing respondents on their midterm thoughts, Leger first sought to understand their perspective of the U.S., finding 38 per cent see it as an enemy country — down three per cent from similar polling in August, but still up eight points over a June 1 survey.
The scandal triggered by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s sexual relationship with a suspected Chinese agent could bring down senior Trump administration officials and damage President Donald Trump himself. At this moment, the blast radius is expanding fast.
On November 8, Huang admitted to an extramarital relationship and apologized to family members and Nvidia employees. The admission followed the revelation that he had a long-running affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese Ministry of State Security asset. He had previously lied about the affair.
The US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, has relocated from his home in the Washington area to a military base after an Iranian threat against his life, the New York Times has reported.
Bessent has spearheaded a US push to cripple Iran’s economy since the start of the Middle East war, vowing “economic asphyxiation” of the Islamic republic through a web of sanctions.
He is one of a number of senior figures in the Trump administration including the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, to leave their home to live on a military base or protected housing.
The benefits of importing Islam just never end!
Allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy have rocked the tech world and Washington, but U.S. counterintelligence officials have long warned that Silicon Valley is a prime target for Chinese and other foreign intelligence services.
Chinese and Russian spying in Silicon Valley, along with similar activities by U.S. allies such as France and Israel, has long been something of an open secret. But tech companies and U.S. government officials have sometimes sought to downplay or suppress suspected espionage-related probes over fears that public exposure might wound firms’ business interests, say former FBI officials.
