14 days after a Muslim terrorist shot up a bar in Austin, 8 days after two Muslim terrorists threw IEDs at an anti-Islamization rally in New York City, 7 days after Muslim terrorists bombed the U.S. embassy in Sweden, 3 days after Muslim terrorists attacked a college in Virginia and a Jewish preschool in Michigan, and days after Muslim terrorists bombed a synagogue and school in the Netherlands, politicians marked the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’. The ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ was brought into being at the request of Pakistan, which harbored Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11,...

“Sources close to Pahlavi’s network indicate that the communications include expressions of loyalty to his mission to lead a transition toward democracy in the event of the regime’s collapse. The contacts have reportedly come from individuals within the regular army, the Republican Guard, police forces and intelligence services. The outreach follows recent Israeli air strikes inside Iran, which reportedly damaged key installations and killed senior military figures—events that Pahlavi described as “Khamenei’s war,” rather than Iran’s war. He has positioned himself not as a monarch seeking restoration, but as a civilian figure aiming to guide a democratic transition led by...

President Catherine Connolly has said the story of Saint Patrick symbolises the "resilience and courage" of migrants. Ms Connolly used her first St Patrick's Day message to celebrate migrants and warn against the "normalisation of war" ahead of Taoiseach Micheal Martin's meeting with Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday. A week ago she criticised the "deliberate assaults on international law" in the Middle East and said the UN charter "cannot be ignored". While not naming the US or Israel explicitly, this was seen as a rebuke of the Irish government after ministers avoided stating that the bombing campaign...

Israeli fighter jets have destroyed a major Iranian intelligence headquarters in central Tehran that was strategically hidden inside a state-owned electric company building. In a significant blow to the Iranian regime's internal security and global terror apparatus, the Israeli Air Force has successfully targeted and destroyed a key intelligence headquarters in the heart of Tehran. Acting on precise information from military intelligence, Israeli jets struck a facility belonging to "The Ministry," the regime’s central intelligence body. In a move characteristic of the regime's tactics, the headquarters was located within a building belonging to the Iranian Electric Company, using a civilian...

Mahady Sacko, 50, who goes by the nickname “Sacko Scorpion,” was busted last week in Philadelphia for allegedly falsely claiming citizenship to cast a 2024 ballot. As the issue of election security ramps up in Congress with the SAVE act, Sacko’s arrest was one of nearly a dozen uncovered by The Post of non-citizens allegedly voting in US elections, sometimes for decades, with many remaining listed as active voters on state rolls, even after their convictions. “The reality is aliens are voting in American elections,” J. Christian Adams, president of Public Interest Legal Foundation, who has spent decades working on...

In a letter, AG Kris Mayes and SOS Adrian Fontes warned that election officials who improperly release protected voter information could face criminal consequences Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes have sent letters to county recorders urging them not to comply with federal requests for voter data tied to new investigations into the 2020 election. The letters were sent as federal authorities, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, pursue probes related to the 2020 presidential election in Arizona. In the joint correspondence to county officials, Mayes and Fontes warned that providing certain...

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham filed for reelection on Monday to continue representing South Carolina in the United States Senate. Sen Graham shared his vision and outlined how he plans to continue delivering President Trump’s agenda in the Palmetto State. "If you give me six more years, I'm going to continue doing what I've been doing, helping you at home, taking care of the roads and the bridges, all the sewage and the water, all the things you need to grow South Carolina." Sen. Graham said. Sen Graham has been endorsed by President Donald J. Trump, as well as Governor Henry...

Two weeks after the United States and Israel launched their combined military campaign against Iran’s clerical regime, the outlines of victory are beginning to emerge. Military campaigns of this kind—especially those aimed not only at degrading military capability but also at creating conditions for political change—unfold in phases. The first phase of this conflict was bound to be the most important: stripping the Islamic Republic of its ability to wage war against America and its allies, threaten its neighbors, and intimidate global markets. The early results are promising, though much remains unfinished. A regime still reeling from last year’s 12-day...

The findings come from a newly released Marine Corps report that’s over 600 pages long. That report determined that the mishap was the result of a malfunction in the artillery’s fuze, which electronically controls the timing of detonation. “The M767Al fuze is extremely reliable, with only one malfunction in its service history, in 2017, that was ultimately determined to be caused by an external factor,” the report said. “It is manufactured to a tolerance of one defect in a million.” ... The report ruled out wrongdoing by Marines, interference by other unmanned aerial systems and birds. Instead, the report suggested...

Chelsea Handler has unloaded on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, claiming the Brentwood mansion she bought from them for $5.9 million in 2021 was a literal “toxic” dump that she still hasn’t been able to move into. The comedian revealed the messy saga during a March 5 episode of her podcast, Dear Chelsea. “I bought RFK Jr.’s house in Los Angeles five years ago,” Handler said. “I still have not lived in this house, that’s how f–ed up this house was.” “The idea that this guy is in charge of the health of our country...

An athlete’s silent act of dissent can turn both her and her family into targets of intimidation under the rule of Iran’s radical Islamist regime. After refusing to sing the Islamic Republic’s anthem before a match in Australia, seven members of Iran’s women’s national soccer team sought asylum there, making a desperate choice no athlete should ever face. After the regime issued threats against the seven and jailed their families, five later withdrew their claims and left. And yet from the global capital of women’s soccer, there has been no public solidarity.

Oscar award-winning actor Javier Bardem is facing backlash over comments he made during the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday when he presented the Best International Feature award. “No to war and Free Palestine,” Bardem said before announcing the winner while wearing a “No a la Guerra” (No to War) pin — a symbol he previously wore to oppose the U.S.’s “illegal war” against Iraq. Critics quickly slammed the actor for what they described as anti-Israel stances. “It’s no secret that Javier Bardem has spent years vilifying Israel on the world stage,” one user wrote on X.

The United States saw four terror attacks on its soil in just the two weeks since the Iran war began, yet Democrats voted yet again last week to #Defund Homeland Security. Are they trying to help the terrorists? They also seem to hate TSA workers and flight passengers: Chaos has reigned at airports around the nation, with hours-long security lines; the shutdown has prompted 300 agents to quit and others to take unscheduled leaves rather than work without pay. The defunding’s latest horror: The Department of Homeland Security’s Office for Bombing Prevention just canceled a training class on how to...

Artificial intelligence seeks to emulate the faculties of the human mind through computational systems, a synthetic recreation of our brains’ capabilities to perceive, learn, and reason. Now, a company claims to have taken a totally different tack by simulating the 125,000 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections of an adult fruit fly’s brain — and then letting it roam inside a Matrix-like virtual environment. In a video shared by Eon Systems cofounder Alex Weissner-Gross, the crudely animated insect can be seen stretching its legs inside a simulated sandbox, rubbing its front feet together and using its labellum to drink from...

Angel David Rubio Marin was previously released after public masturbation charges before current arrest in Virginia FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer request for a Mexican illegal migrant who was charged with soliciting sexual content from children under 10 years old. "This sicko preyed on innocent children by offering to pay them in a video game currency in exchange for child pornography," Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital in a statement. "This illegal alien was RELEASED from jail after an arrest for public masturbation....

“What does Trump expect a handful of European frigates to do that the powerful U.S. Navy cannot?” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Monday. “This is not our war, and we didn’t start it.” “Neither the United States nor Israel consulted us before the war, and ... Washington explicitly stated at the outset ​of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired,” German spokesperson Stefan Kornelius added.

🚨 BREAKING: The SUPREME COURT has announced they’ll be stepping in after activist judges BARRED the Trump admin from ending Biden’s Temporary Protected Status for over 350,000 Haitians Thank GOD! Temporary means TEMPORARY. SEND THEM ALL BACK. The nightmare being lived by the people of Springfield and so many other American towns will FINALLY be over.

No matter how far liberals sink, we can always count on them to explore new depths of pettiness. For instance, leave it to liberals to grouse about a modest and historically appropriate change to a commemorative coin now in circulation. Then, leave it to those same liberals to blame President Donald Trump for the design when, in fact, the change occurred during the final months of former President Joe Biden's administration. […] … (L)iberals have speculated that the removal of the peace-signifying olive branch symbolizes Trump’s bellicosity. […] As usual, however, the liberals got it wrong. In fact, the Citizens...
