    While the news is scattered and the incidents fresh, it appears the EU-supported politicians attempted a coup d’etat in Poland and lost due to the bravery of the Polish president Karol Nawrocki and the thousands of Poles who support him. The international press is largely silent as this significant setback for the EU unfolds, but thanks to Elon Musk, X is covering it well. Hermann Tertsch , a member of the European Parliament for Spain, reports: Without X, no one in Europe would have found out about what happened in Poland tonight. The head of government Donald Tusk carried out...
  • LA botox doctor learns fate for $45M Medicare scheme that funded luxury vacations

    NY Post ^ | 10/30/2026 | Daniel Farr
    A crooked California doctor who ripped off Medicare for more than $45 million to bankroll luxury vacations, expensive cars, and a jaw-dropping $12,000 antique crossbow is finally facing serious prison time. Violetta Mailyan, 45, of Glendale, was sentenced to 15 years behind bars after a jury found her guilty of running an enormous fraud operation through her Healthy Way Medical Center clinic, submitting fraudulent claims for Botox treatments that were medically unnecessary, purely cosmetic or never performed at all. The staggering scam wasn’t just about bogus paperwork. Mailyan billed taxpayers for treatments supposedly administered while her clinic was shuttered —...

    The Justice Department unveiled charges against five people accused of orchestrating a sophisticated campaign to rip off federal financial aid by enrolling “ghost students” who existed only on paper — seizing about $750,000 in ill-gotten funds. The network operated in the US and Kenya, where a phony safari company banked the loot after applying to and then enrolling phony students in college, using stolen identification. The Kenyan scheme is believed to have netted about $2 million. Three of the five defendants — Mabed Utate-Alberto, Patricia Perez and George Mendez — were charged in New Jersey for acting as “money mules”...

    "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval" (Heb. 11:1-2). Christian faith produces righteous deeds. Hebrews 11 has been called "The Heroes of Faith," "The Faith Chapter," "The Saints' Hall of Fame," "The Honor Roll of the Old Testament Saints," and "The Westminster Abbey of Scripture." Those are appropriate titles because this chapter highlights the virtues of faith as demonstrated in the lives of great Old Testament saints. It also reminds us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Such a reminder was...

    Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven…” Matthew 5:1–3Do you want to get to Heaven? Most would instinctively respond, “Yes.” But imagine an angel appearing to you today and saying, “The Most High God will be taking you to Heaven this very day.” How would you react? Would your heart leap with joy? Or would a wave of fear wash over you as...

    I booted up my laptop, running Windows 11, and my Brave Browser won't launch. (I'm currently using Firefox).I uninstalled and reinstalled Brave. I downloaded the newest Brave file to reinstall. I thought CCleaner might be blocking it, so I uninstalled that. But that didn't work.I checked Windows Security, but it claims not to be blocking Brave.I checked the Task Manager. Brave is not already running in the background.I see the Brave.exe file in the Brave folder. I clicked it and got a message that Windows cannot find the Brave.exe file. Huh? It's right there where it's always been. Where I...

    The New York Times ^ | October 31, 2026 | Michael Kruse
    *** “It’s just an environment of possible retribution,” Mr. Wood said. “It is that fear she instills.” Over nearly 30 years, Ms. Collins, a self-styled moderate in a familiar Maine mold, has cultivated a public persona as a workhorse and a fastidious maestro of constituent services and pork-barrel disbursements, using her Washington know-how to get her constituents what they need. But for just as long, her detractors say, she has managed to mostly mask another reality. “The gentlewoman from Maine,” as her colleagues say on the Senate floor, is a formidable power broker who can play a fierce brand of...

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men,...

    By Dr. John BergsmaA happy Feast of All Saints to one and all! This is one of my favorite feasts. The month of November is not formally a liturgical season, but since it begins with All Saints and ends with Christ the King, these four weeks really do have the feel of a liturgical season focused on meditation on the Last Things: Heaven, Hell, Death, and Judgment. The Readings for All Saints are, of course, beautiful. Here are some quick thoughts: 1. The First Reading is Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14. 2I, John, saw another angel come up from the East, holding...

    I am sitting in a bar in Sheridan, Wyoming. I can’t help but overhear a conversation about a local suicide that the bartender said was precipitated by a man’s wife leaving him. I am acutely attuned to this because an acquaintance, and now friend, whom I met in a bar in Red Lodge, Montana, told me about the suicide epidemic among men in Montana. It’s not the first time I have heard these kinds of stories. They often involve men going through divorce or separation and sometimes losing not only a marriage but also their daily connection to their children,...

    According to TRM Labs, which tracks the industry, digital assets worth more than $6.3bn (£4.7bn) have been taken from Binance by North Korean hackers.

  • A dead dog named Biscuit prompts questions about how the governor is restoring rights to convicted felons [A dog that died five years ago just had her right to vote restored by Virginia Governor Abigail D. Spanberger]

    In September, a letter apparently showed up in a mailbox in Gum Spring in Goochland County, addressed to “Biscuit Rigsby.” It was from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who informed Biscuit of good news: “Governor Abigail D. Spanberger has restored your right to vote, to become a notary public, to serve on a jury and to hold public office.” Enclosed was the formal document, signed by the governor, which three times listed Biscuit’s name in bold type. This is the type of letter that goes out to convicted felons who, under Virginia’s constitution, lose certain rights that can only be...
