The Kentucky Republican accuses the Secretary of War of violating the War Powers Resolution in Iran and Yemen By Robert McGreevy Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced a resolution to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and read eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on the House floor Tuesday. Massie formally entered a resolution to impeach Hegseth for "high crimes and misdemeanors" on the House floor for, among other things, allegedly violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973 in Iran and for his role in the operation that led to former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro's capture and extradition . The first three of the eight articles of impeachment Massie introduced accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973, arguing that Hegseth's Department of War is "waging the Iran war despite no declaration of war, statutory authorization, attack on the United States, or imminent threat." His first article seeks to establi...

By Chris Queen One of the ways that churches and synagogues fulfill the mission that God has placed on the lives of believers is by serving others. Food pantries, medical missions, and crisis pregnancy centers are just a few of the ways that Christians and Jewish people have lived out God’s mandate to share the good news by serving others. Of course, what’s baked into the cake of religious organizations serving people is that they should be able to share their faith with others. It’s Missions Month at my home church, and I’ve served with some of our local and global missions' partners. It’s a blessing and privilege to serve and to have gospel conversations with people. Unfortunately, since the middle of the 20th century, federal regulations have made it difficult and later nearly impossible for religious organizations to receive federal money and share the faith behind the mission. The Bill Clinton-era 1996 welfare law explicitly said that “No funds provided directly… shall be ...

By Richard Pollina The Pentagon is now allowing current and former personnel sworn to secrecy about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) activity to legally share that information with the government. A legal waiver has been created and this will allow past and present service members, civilians and contractors to provide UAP-related National Defense Information to official representatives of PURSUE — the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, the Trump administration’s UAP task force, the Department of War said Monday . The waiver overrides any existing non-disclosure agreements or Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements when the information is provided through the authorized PURSUE channel. The Pentagon issued a legal waiver allowing personnel to share classified UFO secrets with the PURSUE task force without facing any penalties. Ron Sachs – CNP for NY Post The move aims to create a pathway to review and potentially declassify UA...

By Ward Clark On Monday, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the capture of a suspect who is accused of obtaining a rifle and ammunition to carry out a planned, Islamic State-inspired attack in Pennsylvania. The DOJ announced the bust Tuesday on X. “Kramer was taken into custody just as he appeared to be preparing for a mass shooting that could have taken many lives, having already secured a rifle and approximately 190 rounds of ammunition for what he called his ‘mission,’” said Assistant Attorney General John Eisenberg.… https://t.co/3U17sa9B3P — National Security Division, U.S. Dept of Justice (@DOJNatSec) September 15, 2026 The X post says: “Kramer was taken into custody just as he appeared to be preparing for a mass shooting that could have taken many lives, having already secured a rifle and approximately 190 rounds of ammunition for what he called his ‘mission,’” said Assistant Attorney General John Eisenberg. “His apparent ISIS inspiration and escalatio...

By Kyle Becker Karl Rove is maybe the least 'Republican' Republican in the history of Republicans.  It's been an open secret for some time that he is as close to a card-carrying member of the Uniparty as exists in Washington, D.C.. He is as pure a swamp creature as you can find in the wild. So, when Rove came out of the RINO closet and announced that he was voting for a Democrat, nobody got the vapors. Nobody looked askance at the television set and did a spit-take. No one's jaw hit the floor. Rove, and everyone else in the Bushite orbit, speak for those people and those people alone. They don't speak for Americans, except for the fat cat donor class that has no problem selling us out to foreigners and launching foreign wars for no other reason than to boost their stock portfolios. That being said, it would take something quite extraordinary for Rove to cross the partisan Rubicon and announce he is voting for a Democrat. But that Rubicon's been crossed. You ...

By Neta Bar Missile warning sirens sounded Tuesday in the Saudi cities of Taif, Jeddah and Mecca amid an escalating confrontation between Riyadh and Yemen's Houthi rebels. Authorities later announced that residents could leave protected areas, and it was not immediately clear whether any impacts or casualties had been reported. The sounding of sirens in Mecca, Islam's holiest city, marks a further escalation in the fighting, which has already claimed thousands of lives and resulted in the Houthis taking control of large parts of Yemen's western coast. Air traffic bound for Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Medina was halted. Mecca, Islam's holiest city.

By Victor Nava, Chris Nesi and Josh Christenson President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks , was born without making a sound on Sept. 20, 2003, a trait that would follow him right up to the end of his short life when the 20-year-old died in a hail of Secret Service gunfire seconds after missing Trump’s head with a bullet by a hairsbreadth. “When Thomas was born he did not scream and he was always quiet from that point on,” his father, Matthew, told feds in newly unearthed documents about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. Crooks was quiet, intelligent and obsessed with shooting, his father told investigators. AP The fresh documents were provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) as part of his ongoing inquiry into the Butler assassination attempt and exclusively reviewed by the New York Post. The trove of files includes FBI interviews with Thomas’ father , Matthew, who revealed he “never really had a...
