In January 1984, Robert Wharton and an accomplice forced their way into a Philadelphia home at knifepoint, then spent hours torturing, strangling, and drowning Bradley and Ferne Hart. On the way out, they turned off the heat. The couple's seven-month-old daughter was left alone in the dead of winter. She was found three days later, dehydrated and barely breathing. Wharton confessed. A jury sentenced him to death. Forty years later, a top official in the Philadelphia District Attorney's office tried to get him off death row and lied to a federal judge to do it. Now she's paying for it. Nancy Winkelman, former supervisor of Soros-

The alleged mastermind behind the foiled terrorist plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House Sunday, is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed Thursday. Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, was arrested by the FBI on Sunday in the small town of Western, Nebraska, and ICE subsequently lodged a detainer against him. DHS said Alvarez failed to leave the country when his B2 tourist visa expired in 2001 and he was subsequently “granted DACA by the Obama administration.” “This illegal alien should NEVER have been allowed in our country—

The Los Angeles City Council is facing criticism from a Republican Party leader after deciding to move forward with a Nov. 3 ballot initiative to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. The council voted Thursday to put the measure on the general election ballot. “Yesterday's vote by the LA City Council, a body that cannot keep its streets clean of filth, save the lives of broken drug-addicted souls in encampments, fight fires or stop crime, is an affront to all Americans,” Roxanne Hoge, Los Angeles County Republican Party chair, told The Center Square, answering questions by email.

83-year-old Joe Biden was abandoned by his wife and former boss on stage at the Barack Obama Presidential Center opening ceremony in Chicago on Friday, left staring aimlessly into the crowd. The confused Biden was left behind as Obama danced off the stage, and Jill Biden followed him, forgetting about her husband. The Bidens were included among four former presidents and former first ladies who attended the ceremony. Biden looked distressed as he looked out into the crowd from the podium. He took off his sunglasses and waved before asking the crowd one strange question. “Where’s my granddaughter?” Joe shouted as the camera panned away from him and ended its feed.

I have been in Peru for the last year studying Spanish. Of the many countries I have been to over the years, Peru is one of the very most charming. It boasts a unique cuisine, beautiful colonial architecture, and some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet anywhere in the world. And Peru’s future is looking distinctly brighter as it appears that Keiko Fujimori will win this month’s runoff election to become Peru’s next President. She is the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, who served as President from 1990 to 2000. Fujimori, the father, was and is widely hated by the Latin American Left.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that the Democrats lost their war for slavery. Yes, the glorious news of Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation finally made its two-year trek to the great state of Texas. On June 19, 1865, U.S. Major General Gordon Granger delivered General Order No. 3 and proclaimed, in part: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” WHO IS JUNETEENTH FOR? This freedom was made possible by whites, blacks, Asians, and Hispanics who fought for the Union.

Welcome to today’s Morning Jolt. This is Noah Rothman with you one last time before Jim Geraghty returns on Monday. On the menu today: Moscow is feeling the squeeze as Russia’s war of conquest in Ukraine evolves into a deadly slog on the battlefield and with Ukrainian air power increasingly bringing the war home to the Kremlin’s doorstep. But first, we hope you’ll consider contributing to NR’s “Defending America” fundraiser. If you support the work we do in championing America and its founding ideals, any contribution you can make would be immensely valuable. With that, we turn to Russia’s torment.

Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region. In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday. “Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States,

The DSA is hoping to expand its influence in New York’s primaries next week, but it’s got a big problem: It doesn’t seem to care about the people it claims to represent. The Democratic Socialists of America playbook is simple — and dangerous: claim to speak for minority communities, push an agenda those communities never asked for and leave them with no voice in their own neighborhoods. Nowhere is this more apparent than in NY-13, a district of traditionally black and Hispanic neighborhoods — including most of Manhattan above 100th Street on the West Side, and above 98th Street on the East Side, plus a small part of The Bronx —

It’s now being revealed that the alleged terror plot, targeting the White House UFC fight on Sunday, was orchestrated by a Mexican illegal alien who remained in the country under Obama’s controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the alleged ringleader of the plot, Abraham Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska, was revealed in court documents to be a noncitizen. However, his country of origin and immigration status were unclear at the time. “The conspirators allegedly planned to deploy drones armed with explosives in and around the UFC Freedom 250 event in order to force an evacuation—

When a burning cross was found at a Chicago park last week, the media and Democrats already apparently knew who was responsible. “A large burning cross — a historic symbol of hate and intimidation against Black Americans — was discovered in a Chicago park where former President Barack Obama famously delivered his acceptance speech when he was elected the nation’s first Black president,” The Associated Press (AP) reported on June 10.Given the framing, readers may have been under the impression that police were searching for a white supremacist, a racist, and, given how the left has broadly painted Republicans as both of those things, a Republican.

In October 1806, in the small German university town of Jena, the philosopher G.W.F. Hegel witnessed Napoleon Bonaparte on horseback passing in the street. Napoleon’s French armies had just destroyed the Prussian military, and he was on his way to Berlin as conqueror. Hegel said he saw history on horseback. He called Napoleon “the soul of the world,” by which he meant Napoleon was the unconscious embodiment and the manifestation of the “Spirit” of historical progress — the man Fate had chosen to usher in a new age. For Hegel, Napoleon destroyed the old age of the aristocracy and ushered in the new one of nation states.
