DEARBORN, Mich. – Mohammad Enayah was asleep when his pinging cell phone alerted him to the message from Gaza. It was 2 a.m. “I hate to tell you this news,” his cousin wrote. Thirty-seven members of his extended family had been killed in an Israeli air strike on a Palestinian refugee camp. Enayah read the first name on the list of victims, his father’s cousin. He scrolled further, then put the phone aside. He couldn’t read on. It would take a week before he would finally make it through the list of those who had died. Enayah would eventually learn

Friends and colleagues are mourning the death of a New York journalist who died in what authorities say is the city's latest deadly fire sparked by a micromobility device's lithium-ion battery. Fazil Khan, an Indian national and data journalist, was the lone fatality in a Friday apartment fire that injured 17 others. He was 27 years old. "We are devastated by the loss of such a great colleague and wonderful person," The Hechinger Report, an education news outlet where Khan worked, said on X, formerly Twitter. Khan was also a contributor at The City, another New York-based news outlet, which
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is holding a commanding lead over the top Democratic candidate for Senate, according to a new poll. In a potential race between the Republican and Congressman David Trone, Hogan leads 49%-33%. The Ragnar Research Partners poll surveyed 600 likely voters, pitting Hogan against top Democrats running for the soon-to-be vacant Senate seat held by Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin. He plans to retire. The former governor fared even better when Hogan was matched against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks 52%-29%. Hogan threw his hat into the ring earlier this month after early speculation that he

Kyiv, Ukraine — The small group of women thought about canceling their protest when the sirens went off. But even though Kyiv was under missile attack again, it went ahead anyway. Antonina brought along her 3-year-old son Sasha. (Snip) Mobilization periods are currently open-ended, with no statutory cut-off. Antonina’s husband volunteered two years ago, just after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Now aged 43, he has served long enough, she told CNN. “It is hard for my husband to endure this length of time on the ground, avoiding all the shells and doing everything he needs to do at the front line,”
The Iran-backed Houthi militant group on Sunday damaged a ship offshore Yemen, prompting its crew to abandon the vessel in the latest escalation of maritime tensions that have disrupted key trade routes in the Red Sea. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations said on social media they received a report of a vessel attack in the Bab el-Mandeb strait off Yemen’s coast, adding that the crew had abandoned the ship. “Vessel at anchor and all crew are safe,” the UKMTO said. Houthi militants later claimed the attack, with spokesperson Yahya Sare’e identifying the vessel as general cargo ship Rubymar and describing

SAN DIEGO — The migrant community in shelters in Tijuana is worried over the possibility that Donald Trump could win the presidential election in November, according to José María García Lara, director of the Juventud 2000 shelter. García Lara says asylum seekers fear that migrating to the U.S. will become almost impossible with Trump in the White House. “The community thinks the moment he wins the presidency, the doors will close,” he said. García Lara recalls a time in 2018 when Trump took measures to return Central American migrants to their respective countries to keep them from coming to the
A California lawmaker has proposed an ambitious plan to raise the minimum wage to $50 per hour. Democratic Representative Barbara Lee argued that, due to the affordability crisis in the San Francisco Bay Area, a family of four needs at least $127,000 to survive. Lee's proposal means that minimum wage workers would earn more than $100,000 per year. She made these comments while debating with Reps Adam Schiff (D-CA), Katie Porter (D-CA) and Republican Steve Garvey. Schiff and Porter have both called for the minimum wage to be increased to at least $20 an hour. However, Garvey has resisted raising
Inflation ran hotter in January than had been forecast by economists, signaling that higher prices remain sticky and complicating the Federal Reserve's decision about when to begin cutting its benchmark rate. As with inflation last month, higher housing and food prices were the big drivers. Consumer prices rose 3.1% in January from a year earlier, the government said on Tuesday. Economists had expected January prices to rise at a 2.9% pace from a year ago, according to FactSet. Even so, the pace reflected an improvement from December, when inflation rose at an annual rate of 3.4%. The January inflation data
DENVER — A Denver woman said she has been left with an unexpected mess after she sold her van to an undocumented migrant.
She learned the new owner of her vehicle can’t register the van or insure it in his name. Kamelah Miller was looking to do some renovations on her home. So, her friend recommended someone who could do the work at a reasonable price. “Shortly after that, he was telling me he was looking to buy a car and I was looking to sell mine,” Miller said. Miller gave him a price on her Volkswagen Routan and he
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Sunday afternoon following symptoms of an "emergent bladder issue," according to the Pentagon. "Today, at approximately 2:20 pm, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III was transported by his security detail to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to be seen for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue," Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement Sunday afternoon. The statement said that the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, White House, and Congress have been notified. Austin is retaining his duties
Democratic strategist James Carville slammed President Joe Biden‘s decision not to sit down for an interview prior to the Super Bowl, saying it shows a lack of confidence to perform well. Carville noted the massive television audience of the Super Bowl, which has regularly exceeded 100 million viewers several times in recent years, and questioned why the White House turned down the opportunity, while speaking on CNN on Saturday. “It’s the biggest television audience — not even close — and you get a chance to do a 20, 25-minute interview on that day,” Carville said. “And you don’t do it?

Panicked Democrats are wringing their hands in the wake of the damning special counsel’s report that accused President Biden of being too senile to be blamed for mishandling classified documents — with insiders even pushing for better makeup to hide the commander-in-chief’s advanced age as his re-election campaign grinds on despite his cognitive decline. “The cake is already baked,” a despondent former Biden White House aide told The Post. “Most Democrats feel that way about the president already. They think he’s effective and a good person, but nobody really wants him to run. ..and Democrats don’t have the guts to

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that President Joe Biden’s presidency has been a “masterclass” in how to run the United States.
Anchor Kristen Welker said, “There are some pretty stark numbers you are facing. Seventy-six percent of voters say they have real concerns about President Biden’s ability to serve a second term. Do you think it is responsible for Democrats to put him at the top of the ticket given these concerns?”
Newsom said, “I mean, what he’s done in three years, it’s been a masterclass. Close to 15 million jobs, that’s eight times more than the last three Republican presidents combined.
To the chorus of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' raucous '80s pop hit, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley reached the podium on the 2024 Republican primary night in the state she calls home. The still-strong crowd of supporters began to chant her first name, to which Haley said with a note of affection on what must be a difficult night to remain upbeat, "Y'all are a rowdy bunch, but I love that about you." As we reported earlier, Haley lost the primary, in the state where she served as governor, to former President Donald Trump: Haley began her speech by thanking her family,
About 18 months ago, my colleague Fuzzy Slippers fisked The New York Times opinion piece for asserting there was a “time and place” for cannibalism. What new horrors do they have in store for us? Well, cannibalism, of course. What better way to feed the masses than to feed them the masses, presumably the “good” unwashed get to consume the “bad” ones.[Snip]Ethically, cannibalism poses fewer issues than you might imagine. If a body can be bequeathed with consent to medical science, why can’t it be left to feed the hungry? Our aversion has been explained in various ways.
Pope Francis has blamed Mongolia’s current cold spell on global warming, insisting the overheating environment is a “global social problem." (snip) This extreme phenomenon, which has occasioned the death of over 600,000 livestock, is “a sign of climate change and its effects,” the pope told the estimated 20,000 gathered in Saint Peter’s Square. (snip) Pope Francis, one of the leading voices condemning manmade climate change, has singled out the United States as especially to blame for the so-called climate emergency due to the “irresponsible lifestyle” of its citizens.

John Kerry: “Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. And we can’t get to Net Zero—we don’t get the job done—unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. You just can’t continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it. It doesn’t work. So, we have to reduce emissions from the food system.” What a dilemma. If we feed people, we will continue to warm the planet. If we continue to warm the planet, billions will die in 100 years from global warming because of the food we are eating now.

First, California came for plastic straws. It did nothing meaningful for the environment, but it made lawmakers feel good — albeit at the expense of consumers.
Now, the state could be coming for “single-use cups” at chain restaurants.
It’ll do nothing for the environment, again, but it’ll make lawmakers feel good, again. Guess what it will do to your wallet, Californians?
According to The Center Square, a conservative publication, Democrat Sen. Catherine Blakespear, who represents a district in the San Diego suburbs, has introduced Senate Bill 1167, which would require chain restaurants to stop using paper or plastic single-use beverage cups.

Special Counsel Robert Hur could not determine who had access to Joe Biden’s stolen classified documents stored at Penn Biden Center because security deleted all the visitor logs from 2017-2021.
According to Hur, Joe Biden kept more than 600 pages of classified documents in unlocked drawers/closets at the Penn Biden Center and stored some of them in dilapidated boxes in his Delaware garage and other unsecured locations.
The FBI identified numerous folders, including many labeled “EYES ONLY VPOTUS” which contained highly classified material related to intelligence sources and methods.
Pima County, Arizona, and the city of Tucson are scrambling as Biden’s border crisis continues to wreak havoc on American border states.
Tucson officials are engaging in a frenzied search for a place to house illegal immigrants as federal funding comes to an end. And some are suggesting that the illegal border crossers should be bused to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in south Tucson.
Officials are desperately making plans ahead of the expected wave of illegal aliens likely to begin being dropped off at the end of March by Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, according to AZMirror.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero has been “sounding the alarm” and said
California Gov. Gavin Newsom thinks President Joe Biden should absolutely debate Donald Trump in the 2024 general election campaign.
Biden has not yet committed to debate Trump this election cycle after the two went head-to-head multiple times in 2020.
But Newsom, a top surrogate for Biden, suggested that the president is prepared to go against his predecessor and that suggestions he won't is 'pure projection.' Trump refused to participate in the primary debate this cycle because he claimed he was running as an incumbent and shouldn't have to go up against the B team.
A longtime Republican National Committee member, Henry Barbour, has introduced two resolutions for consideration by the RNC board that the Trump campaign opposes as "absurd." The first proposal would enforce the RNC by-laws that forbid the national committee from taking sides in a primary. The proposed resolution would explicitly prevent the RNC from coordinating with a campaign until one candidate has won 1215 delegates, which is the number needed for the nomination.
"The Republican National Committee must serve as a neutral player in primaries," the proposal reads, pointing to RNC Rule 11. That rule states the national party shall not "contribute money or in-kind aid to any
