Prosecutors allege that police detained Alsaidi after he was discovered with eight Molotov cocktails. Police also claim he gave them a fake name when first questioned. Will County Judge Theodore Jarz allowed Alsaidi to be…

We look back at the essential stories that shaped the last seven days, from Russia’s retaliatory strikes on Ukraine to another AI escape Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s 40-day “influence” operation against Russia reached an ignoble end this week, with the murder of eight civilians on a beach in the Russian Black Sea resort of Gelendzhik. Six weeks of long-range strikes on Russian civilian targets seemed to convince some of Zelensky’s Western backers that Ukraine could defeat Russia, but Kiev’s debts quickly came due. Russia escalated its missile and drone campaign against Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, crippling the country’s already reeling economy…

Watching the woke eat their own is an entertaining sideshow — and while it’s unfortunate when it won’t end up benefiting a Republican, at least we can take heart that Nancy Pelosi will go out slamming a thoroughly woke gay man who’s poised to replace her in Congress. California state Sen. Scott Wiener is locked in a two-Democrat race with San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to replace the retiring Rep. Pelosi (or, as other Democrats love to refer to her, “Speaker Emerita Pelosi”). Wiener was first in the jungle primary in June, but given that the top two advance and…

President de la Espriella, a 48-year-old lawyer…

Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has turned the Justice Department into a “protection racket for the president.” Schiff said, “It used to be the case when you got a nominee who is unfit for office, you would reject them, and you would say to the president, send me somebody qualified. That hasn’t happened here. And given the long list of malfeasance and infractions of Todd Blanche, the Justice Department is really hard to wrap your head around. He’s weaponized the department to create a slush fund for the president. He’s used…

The Senate Saturday confirmed Todd Blanche to be attorney general, following a weeks-long struggle with a handful of wary Republicans. The Senate voted 50-49 to approve him, with GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joining with Democrats in opposition. Blanche, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, has been serving as acting attorney general since Pam Bondi’s ouster in April. Questions about Blanche’s potential conflicts of interest from representing Trump, as well as his role in the creation of a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” as part of Trump’s settlement this spring with the IRS, created headwinds…

One of the left’s favorite fronts to fight the culture war is language. They have seen great success in sowing confusion and disharmony by manipulating words, distorting words from their original meaning, and striking words from the vernacular deemed offensive or politically incorrect. A new development on that front comes from the pro-abortion organization Planned Parenthood. It was not bad enough that this is arguably the most prominent advocate and culprit in carrying out child murder in history. They now have a more benign term for doing it. On Monday, the Planned Parenthood official page on social media platform Facebook…
