7+ min ago (728+ words) [UTO us constitut] Photo Credit: PxfuelWhen conservatives appeal to the Constitution, what they don't recognize that leftists are operating from a completely different mental framework. Ideology and Authority in America Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of the recent video issued by Elissa Slotkin, in which a chorus of prominent Democrat politicians urge military rank-and-file to commit mass insubordination against their leadership, is its banality. It has become commonplace to witness prominent political and academic leftists openly excusing violence, property destruction, harassment of federal officers, and political assassination. Farther back, we observed the left's support of legal persecution against its political enemies and witnessed, during the COVID debacle, a complete disregard of constitutional legal procedures and constraints. In light of this background, the active promotion of military rebellion seems like a minor escalation. And yet, the liberal class was and remains…...

That is why factories could afford to pay good wages.And the work could be done mostly by people with only a high school education (a real one), using simply motor skills, dexterity, and the ability and desire to follow instructions.This is almost always what creates middle-class nations. That reality is gone now, and although we are determined to rebuild industry, that will take at least five to ten years" effort to pay dividends. So…...

Those scheduled talks came after discussions between President Vladimir Putin and the U.S. envoys at the Kremlin on Tuesday. Previous diplomatic attempts to break the deadlock have come to nothing and the nearly four-year war has continued unabated. Officials largely have kept a lid on how the latest talks are going, though Trump's initial 28-point plan was leaked. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country's delegation in Miami wanted to hear from the U.S. side about the talks at the Kremlin. Zelenskyy, as well as European leaders backing him, have repeatedly accused Putin of stalling in peace talks while the Russian army…...

Parliament's lower house, the Bundestag, approved the plan by 323 votes to 272, with one abstention. It's a modified version of a plan that Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Cabinet approved in August. Germany has committed billions to improving its military's equipment after years of neglect and the government has turned its attention to trying to persuade more people to join up. It's not alone in trying to bolster its armed forces; last week, France unveiled a program to train thousands of volunteers aged 18 and 19 starting next year. Belgium and Poland also have plans to attract more people to train or serve. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told lawmakers that "our allies are looking…...

He decreed that its assets would go to the Holy See as a whole, and that the Vatican patrimony office would oversee the commission's extinction. A new working group would be formed, with papally approved members, to come up with fundraising proposals and an appropriate structure going forward, the decree said. The decree was the latest sign that as 2025 comes to an end, history's first American pope is wrapping up the loose ends of Francis' pontificate. Leo is correcting problems as needed and fulfilling Francis' Holy Year obligations, as he looks ahead to the new year when he can focus more on his own agenda. The Vatican had announced the creation of the commission, its statutes and members on…...

10+ min ago (171+ words) Friday, 05 December 2025 06:01 AM EST International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry and Italy President Sergio Mattarella were in attendance for the ceremony. Organizers specified the cauldron is not the official Olympic one that will be lit at the opening ceremony but a version dedicated to the torch relay. The flame touched down in Italy on Thursday following a handover in Greece. The next Olympics will be held Feb. 6-22 across a wide swath of northern Italy. A 63-day torch relay throughout Italy starts on Saturday from Rome's statue-lined Stadio dei Marmi. Olympic swimming champion Gregorio Paltrinieri is scheduled to be the first of 10,001 torchbearers. The flame was lit on Nov. 26 in Ancient Olympia, the site of the ancient games that inspired the modern Olympic movement. The ceremony concluded with a flyover by the Italian Air Force's acrobatic unit Frecce Tricolori. It's the…...

11+ min ago (726+ words) Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett weighs in on the death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a cruise ship and the FBI's investigation. As the federal investigation into 18-year-old Anna Kepner's death nears one month with no updates, a defense attorney says there may be a reason for the silence: investigators are navigating a rare situation in which the victim's relatives and the potential perpetrator's relatives live under the same roof. Criminal defense attorney and Fox News Contributor Donna Rotunno said the lack of information may be a sign of extreme caution. "It is odd we haven't heard anything," Rotunno told Fox News Digital. "But I think there's a reason for it. When you're dealing with essentially one family, authorities have to be careful about what they put out there. You don't want to tip off what's going on when…...
