Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas said the Marine who was jailed after criticizing top military officials over the Afghanistan withdrawal "looks" and "sounds good" after the two met on Thursday.The congressman traveled to North Carolina's Camp Lejeune, where Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller is being held, for a visit and later provided a status update to his parents on Sean Hannity's Fox News program. "There are people in that brig that like Stu, and so please know that," Gohmert told Scheller's parents, who say they have not talked to their son since he was thrown in the brig on Monday, on Hannity.

Agatha Christie once said: ‘Trains are wonderful... to travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches, and rivers, in fact, to see life.’She was right. Here we round up some of the world’s most spectacular rides. GOING, GOING, GHAN (Photo) The 54-hour, 1,851-mile journey between Darwin and Adelaide — or vice versa — on The Ghan, is superb. Shiny, stainless-steel carriages sweep across immense dusty red-soil plains, stopping in Alice Springs, which is a springboard to see the famous sandstone monolith of Uluru. The Ghan is a shortening of The Afghan Express, the name given to Afghan camel herdsmen who crossed the Outback

I just needed to honor them in that way – I didn’t have a choice,” she noted.Dubinsky knew that it was September 2 and

A bright light streaked across the night sky over parts of Georgia and Florida last night, which was followed by a sonic boom that rattled homes in the area.Many residents thought it was a shooting star or meteor falling to Earth, but the glowing object was SpaceX's Dragon capsule on its return mission following a month stay on the International Space Station (ISS).The Cargo Dragon C208-2 undocked from the ISS at 9:12am Thursday, following a supply run to the ship, and splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean around 11pm ET.This is the Elon Musk-owned company's 23 cargo resupply mission to the ISS, but this time it returned with

The powerful head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, is apparently panicked that the policies of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will trigger parents to pluck their children out of public schools, where Weingarten and her ilk can inculcate their leftist messaging, and place them in private schools instead.On Thursday, Weingarten referencing an article in the leftist The New Republic that attacked DeSantis for his policies, tweeted, “This isn’t just about masks or about Governor DeSantis’ political aspirations. It’s about the complete destabilization of public education so that parents will choose private schools.”

Many breathed a sigh of relief when President Biden was elected, not for policy but for a reunification of the country after four years of tumult and fiery division under President Trump. But eight months into the new presidency, America's deep disunity might not be letting up. A new poll has revealed that political divisions run so deep in the US that over half of Trump voters want red states to secede from the union, and 41% of Biden voters want blue states to split off. According to the analysis from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, 52% of Trump voters at least somewhat agree with the statement:

In a bizarre tweet on Friday, socialist Senator Bernie Sanders said that 52 senators “cannot be allowed to defeat” 48 senators. The comment was extremely bizarre to say the least considering for all of history, the majority is typically who wins any sort of voting conflict.Sanders couldn’t comprehend the fact that Democrat senators Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) could possibly vote against the Democrats’ massive $3.5 trillion bill.Sanders tweeted: “2 senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 House members want. We must stand with the working families of our country. We must combat climate change.

President Joe Biden has sought to motivate Democrats on Capitol Hill to vote for his multi-trillion-dollar spending bills by warning them that if the bills fail, those who supported the Capitol riot on January 6 will celebrate a political victory.One bill is a bipartisan $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bill (most of which is not traditional infrastructure). The other is a $3.5 trillion catch-all spending bill that includes Democrats’ most radical priorities, and which Biden has recently linked to his “Build Back Better” policy agenda. It can only pass the Senate through the so-called “reconciliation” process,

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a number of sweeping police reform bills that take aim at alleged law enforcement misconduct and will allow officers to be stripped of their badges for “racial bias” and other deemed offenses.On Thursday, surrounded by what Newsom called “moral leadership” and the family members of those killed by law enforcement officers, he signed into law eight police reform bills claiming that they would increase transparency and accountability. He was joined by California Attorney General Rob Bonta who proclaimed that there is a “crisis of trust” between citizens and officers.“We’re delivering concrete solutions from banning dangerous holds that lead to asphyxia to multiple other

Friday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) weighed in on the Democrats’ deadlocked $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill.Steube advised that “not a single Republican” in the House would vote to pass the Democrats’ “$3.5 trillion spending spree.” He added that since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hasn’t been able to get enough votes all week, he doesn’t see how she could get them today.“Remember, Pelosi promised all these Democrats that there would be a vote on infrastructure on Monday. We are still sitting here on Friday with no vote. And that’s because the progressives, the far left of her own party, have said that they are not

The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term next week, which means all eyes have again returned to the justices’ marble palace at 1 First Street, N.E. This court term, unlike the last one, promises to be a blockbuster: The hot-button issues of abortion, gun rights, and potentially affirmative action will all be on the justices’ docket. By the end of this term, we should have a definitive answer as to just how “conservative” the putatively conservative, six to three Republican-nominated majority court actually is.And just as all eyes have returned to the court, observers of all stripes have been presented with a timely reminder as to how
