2+ hour, 21+ min ago (437+ words) Alina Habba said she was the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey. President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi agreed. All three were wrong, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled this week. Habba's case illustrates the absurd lengths to which Trump has gone in attempting to evade that requirement. After U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger resigned in January, his first assistant automatically assumed the duties of his office, which John Giordano, now the U.S. ambassador to Namibia, briefly took over as interim U.S. attorney before Bondi replaced him with Habba in late March. Under federal law, an interim U.S. attorney can serve no longer than 120 days unless the judges of the district approve an extension. But instead of allowing Habba to remain in that position, the District of New Jersey's judges chose Desiree Grace, a career prosecutor who was then the first assistant…...

Tennessee"s reliably Republican 7th Congressional District will remain red despite the left"s aggressive campaign to turn it blue." With 99 percent of the vote reporting, Republican and former Army helicopter pilot veteran Matt Van Epps easily defeated Democrat state Rep. Aftyn Behn, a Marxist posing as a moderate, in a special election to fill a seat left vacant earlier this year by GOP Rep. Mark Green"s retirement. Van Epps outpaced Behn by nearly 9 percentage points (53.9 percent to 45 percent)." Even in defeat, Democrats hailed the "closer-than-expected" election as a victory. "Win or lose, Republicans have been forced to spend millions, deploy resources, and pull out all of the stops to try to save a seat in…...

3+ hour, 21+ min ago (387+ words) By John Leake Courageous Discourse Muggeridge was the'ONLY'western journalist to report what was going on. When his reports were published, many of his fellow writers'including George Bernard Shaw, Aldous Huxley, Jean-Paul Sartre, Upton Sinclair and Theodore Dreiser, and Sidney and Beatrice Webb'refused to believe them, and they passionately asserted that Muggeridge was spreading falsehoods about Stalin's regime. Muggeridge was related to the Webbs by marriage, and years later he told a funny story about Beatrice. I remember Mrs. Webb, who after all was a very cultivated upper-class liberal-minded person, an early member of the Fabian Society and so on, saying to me, "Yes, it's true, people disappear in Russia.' She said it with such great satisfaction that I couldn't help thinking that there were a lot of people in England whose disappearance she would have liked to organize." Over the…...

3+ hour, 21+ min ago (561+ words) Just as'the news breaks'that Trump has issued Maduro an ultimatum to leave Venezuela immediately if he wants to escape with his life, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has published an amazingly brazen war propaganda piece titled "How Venezuelan Gangs and African Jihadists Are Flooding Europe With Cocaine." The propaganda piece is plainly aimed at Europeans as well as Americans, emphasizing Secretary of State Marco Rubio's'quip last month'that the Europeans "should be thanking us" for blowing up alleged drug boats coming from Venezuela because he says some of those drugs are winding up in Europe. It's got everything. Whipping up international support for a regime change war. Fearmongering about "jihadists". The evil, scary dictator. The whole war propaganda sales package. " The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) December 1, 2025 The mass media do this every time the US empire gets war-horny. And the Murdoch…...

3+ hour, 21+ min ago (265+ words) By Gary D. Barnett "Various "wars on drugs" throughout history have killed millions, enslaved millions more, destroyed families, are usually just thin pretenses for mass incarceration, mass surveillance, ethnic cleansing, population control." The figurative aspect of the term "war," makes almost anything sound more noble, when in fact it is just a marketing ploy used to convince the giant herd of sheep called the masses, to comply and subjugate themselves to some government agenda-driven objective. This only enriches the "elite," shuts off transparency, encourages huge debt; all increasing power and control while eliminating freedom. As Jacob Hornberger put it:There is one-and only one-way to end the violence in Latin America. There is one-and only one-way to terminate the drug gangs. That way is by legalizing drugs. Legalizing drugs today would put an immediate end to the drug gangs and the…...

3+ hour, 21+ min ago (1163+ words) By JD BreenPretium Insights Among the key insights of Austrian economics are that humans act and value is subjective. These observations seem obvious and uncontroversial'essentially truisms. But they're often forgotten, neglected, or misunderstood. Each person's perspective is informed by innumerable variables that influence his values. An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way. An American believes a hundred years is a long time. Is either, neither, or each of them right? Who's to say? Would a woman rather receive a diamond ring or a gallon of water? As a former'president of Harvard'might put it, context matters. Is the lady sitting with her boyfriend on a beach, or stranded alone in the Sahara? Some of us are willing to jump from a plane. Others can't bring ourselves to board one. Fear of flying forces many people to drive, which…...
