VLADIMIR Putin has ordered Russian intelligence agencies to ramp up the recruitment of "kamikaze" spies in Britain, leaked documents suggest. Former UK intelligence officials said Britain is currently a "major" target - and Russia will be doing everything it can to "get access to people and turn agents in useful places". Former Russian spy Boris Karpichkov, 62, previously claimed there are at least four Russian agents currently working in Westminster. MPs and their staff have been urged to stay alert as tensions ratchet up with Moscow over the war in Ukraine. In emails now seen by The Sun Online, a...

BEFORE THE EVENTS related in this excerpt, Giancarlo Granda was just another 20-year-old Miami high school graduate: pool attendant at an iconic Miami Beach hotel, eager to please, ambitious, open to suggestion. A chance poolside encounter with Becki and then Jerry Falwell Jr., first-born son of an evangelical legend and his attractive 40-ish wife intrigued him. He acted on a lark, and was suddenly in the middle of a complex sexual affair with Becki. The affair gave Granda a firsthand view of immense wealth, unexpurgated power and unwavering faith, as well as the duplicity and destruction it takes to maintain...

Panicking over the end of Roe v. Wade and lashing out at anyone who stands in their way of keeping abortion legal at the state level, NBC Nightly News ran a complete and total smear of pro-life crisis pregnancy clinics that help women to choose life and provide them with the resources to financially and psychologically get through the pregnancy and through motherhood. Anchor Lester Holt opened the segment by whining that "there are more crisis pregnancy centers nationwide than abortion clinics. At least 13 states have spent nearly half a billion taxpayer dollars to fund them." He then turned...

A friend forwarded me a copy of a recent cover story in the San Diego Reader, the city’s alternative newspaper, profiling several members of a purported Christian card counting ring. The tale of Will and Shirley, who held Bible classes in their home for newly married members of their San Diego church, according to the story, and Nate and Faith, who were recruited by Will and Shirley, smells to me like fiction. It brings to mind the fabricated writings of Stephen Glass, former staffer for The New Republic. Among his more infamous articles was a completely made up tale, titled...
