DALLAS (AP) — A Texas judge denied a new trial for Karmelo Anthony on Saturday in the stabbing death of a 17-year-old athlete at a high school track meet, a killing that drew national attention and led to harassment of the families.

Judge Michael Chitty denied the retrial motion in a half-page order following a two-day hearing this week near Dallas, citing a review of the evidence and arguments. He did not elaborate. Russell Wilson, Anthony’s…

Masculinity is on trial. Innocent life is being pushed aside. And the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has become the latest political spectacle exposing just how far the radical left has gone. Clancy killed her three young children. Yet liberal wine moms and blue-haired activists are rallying behind her, turning the woman who killed her children into the victim while three dead kids somehow become an afterthought. And who does the left find a way to blame? The man. With no evidence connecting her husband to the murders, the attacks on masculinity begin anyway. The grieving father becomes part of the…
More than a dozen AI data centers near O’Hare International Airport in suburban Chicago are receiving at least $100 million in local property tax breaks this year, pushing more of the tax burden onto Cook County homeowners. The Chicago Tribune reports that an analysis by the Illinois Answers Project and the Tribune found that at least 18 northwest suburban data centers won multimillion-dollar reductions in their taxable value from Cook County officials this year, in one case landing on a valuation lower than what the business paid to buy the site. Of those 18, 11 already had special local tax…
“The single greatest financial offensive ever” awaits Iran as the U.S.-Israel war with the totalitarian Islamic regime enters its “endgame,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Monday. Bessent further cautioned the U.S. would sever all economic ties with the country in “an economic D-Day” and any nation partnering with Iran financially would also be isolated, he so described in an opinion piece for the Financial Times newspaper published out of London. “The world should understand that our objective is to sever every economic lifeline that sustains the tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone,” Bessent wrote in the piece. Exactly what the economic pressure…
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday that the U.S. is launching an “economic onslaught” to isolate Iran from the global economy, warning that countries and businesses that do any business with Tehran will risk provoking U.S. sanctions. “Let there be no ambiguity as to the position of the United States: An economic engagement of any kind with this murderous regime will expose those responsible to the full reach of American power,” Bessent told reporters at a press conference held at the Treasury Department Bessent said the U.S. was sanctioning more than 60 individuals, vessels, and entities worldwide that the U.S.…
Saturday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Saturday in America,” Attorney General Todd Blanche reacted to the Supreme Court’s stay allowing construction on the White House ballroom to proceed.

Ukraine could have bridged East and West. Instead, corruption, nationalism, and Western meddling left it broken There is one feeling I often recall from having lived and worked in Ukraine – to be precise, in its most nationalist, full-of-itself city, Lviv – for a total of five years in the 2000s: Thank God, at least there’s no violence!That is what I, some other foreigners, and quite a few Ukrainians, too, were thinking and even saying then. The country was politically and even culturally polarized, extremely corrupt, and a sham ‘democracy’ even more fake than most of the rest.It was dominated…
