The landmark Washington National Cathedral unveiled new stained-glass windows Saturday with a theme of racial justice, filling the space that had once held four windows honoring Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The new windows depict a march for justice by African Americans, descendants of the very people who would have remained in slavery after the Civil War if the side for which the officers fought had prevailed. The cathedral had removed the old windows after Confederate symbols featured prominently in recent racist violence.

Mexico City—From a White House podium in May, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas outlined new legal pathways to the United States for Venezuelans and others, along with a “very clear” message for those who come illegally. “Our borders are not open. People who cross our border unlawfully and without a legal basis to remain will be promptly processed and removed,” he said. On Wednesday, Mayorkas announced temporary legal status for an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans who had arrived in the country as of July 31 — including some who ignored his stern warnings and came illegally. Circumstances change, but the Biden administration’s sharp expansion of Temporary Protected Status may complicate its messaging.

Americans are gearing up for another election next year — and they'll likely be choosing between two of the oldest presidents ever again. Age has become a central issue this election cycle following a spate of high-profile 'senior moments' including two Mitch McConnell freeze episodes. Aside from Joe Biden, 80, and Donald Trump, 77, US politicians on Capitol Hill are older than ever, and there are growing calls for term limits in the House and Senate. Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley have been outspoken about age in recent months, claiming that politicians are increasingly too old to represent their constituents.

Former President Jimmy Carter celebrated his 99th birthday early by making his first public appearance since he entered hospice care seven months ago.

The longest living president in US history, born Oct 1, and entered hospice care in February, announcing that he 'decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care' as he ceased medical intervention.

The world is, by now, getting used to President Joe Biden’s propensity to embellish the truth, but when he claimed on Friday that he has “been to every mass shooting,” people on social media hit the pause button. Even CNN tore into Biden with a brutal fact-check that details the magnitude of his shameless lie. When his metaphorical pants burst into flames, Biden was announcing from the White House Rose Garden the “creation of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention — the first office in our history.” “I created — by executive order, I determined to send a clear message about how important this issue is to me and

Children, and the parents who try to protect them and advocate for them, are under attack in America’s schools. Openly pornographic materials are being offered to children as young as elementary school. Organizations boast about how they sneak sick sexual and LGBTQ+ content into children’s classrooms without parental knowledge. The Los Angeles Unified School District supports a gay club for kindergarten students through age 11 and students throughout the county have been exposed to Drag Queen Story Hours.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ditched the Senate dress code in order to accommodate man-child Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) who dresses like a homeless drug addict. The dress code of coats and ties for men and business attire for women still applies to staff in the chamber. On Wednesday, Fetterman arrived at the Senate looking like a slob in a short-sleeve shirt and shorts. While Fetterman has managed to receive special accommodations to disrespect the halls of power, The New York Post’s experiment of dressing like Fetterman and to try to gain entry to some of New York City’s finest restaurants shows

Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden's decision to picket with United Auto Workers union members who are on strike, ahead of his own trip to visit striking workers. Biden announced on Friday that he will be visiting with workers in Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday. Trump went after Biden's policies, specifically on the "electric car hoax," as having "sold them down the river," in a lengthy post on Truth Social early Saturday morning. "Crooked Joe Biden had no intention of going to visit the United Autoworkers, until I announced that I would be heading to Michigan to be with them, & help then out.

A training video allegedly leaked from the Department of Veterans Affairs promotes abortion and even suggests that men can become pregnant, Fox News reported Wednesday. The “Reproductive Health Training” video from April 2023 tells staffers how to talk to veterans who are considering aborting their babies. “Before discussing counseling procedures, the video began with a ‘note’ on language that clarified, ‘Not all people who seek abortions identify as women.’ Another note read, ‘Person who is pregnant’ is inclusive and preferred to ‘pregnant woman,'” according to the report.

If you want these happy little trees, you’ll need a lot of green. Beloved TV artist Bob Ross’s first-ever on-air painting is up for sale and costs almost $10 million. The late host of PBS’s “The Joy of Painting” became massively popular for his friendly, calm demeanor and his insistence that anyone can become an artist. Now Modern Artifact Gallery in Minneapolis is selling “A Walk in the Woods,” the first of over 400 paintings Ross made on the show. Ross painted it for the premiere episode which aired on January 11, 1983.

Editor's note: The following column was first published by Creators Syndicate. The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024. On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters. Of the 2.2 million federal civil workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules that make it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them.

Jack Smith added Alex Whiting, a ‘war crimes prosecutor’ to his special counsel team of nearly two dozen rabid prosecutors gunning for Trump. Whiting is a radical left-wing Trump hater who previously praised Mueller’s inquisition against the former president. Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ investigation ended in a whimper and completely crumbled. “Whiting has been a frequent commentator on the previous special counsel to investigate Trump: Robert Mueller, who investigated links between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. Whiting wrote numerous articles and gave interviews assessing the strength of Mueller’s case against Trump,
