MOSCOW, November 14. /TASS/. The magnetic storm that raged on Earth for about two days has stopped, Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos Weather center, said on Telegram.
“The magnetic storm that raged on Earth for almost two days has stopped. It ended late last Thursday evening, and for more than six hours the geomagnetic field has been in the ‘green’ zone,” he said.
The forecaster noted that in the coming hours, there may be disturbances in the magnetosphere until the middle of the day, but they most likely will not reach the level of a magnetic storm. According to him, the disturbances will stop in the afternoon.
“A period of a relatively calm geomagnetic field will last at least until the end of this week,” Leus said.
A Pentagon official said that the US military conducted another strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat on Monday, targeting a vessel in the Caribbean Sea and killing four people on board. Since September, US forces have destroyed at least 21 vessels in 20 strikes in international waters, killing at least 80 people. The Trump administration says the operations — the details of which remain sparse — are part of an anti-drug offensive.
US Military Blows Up ‘Drug Vessels’ In Deadly Strike As ‘Rival Duo’ Plots Major Action In Backyard
Meanwhile, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Operation Southern Spear, saying it would target “narco-terrorists” and shield “our homeland from the drugs that are killing our people.” The operation involves deploying warships, including the USS Gerald R. Ford, across the Caribbean.Hegseth said that during the operation, the task force removed US forces have carried out strikes on vessels suspected of drug running, killing at least 80 people, and President Trump has signalled that land operations remain under consideration.
Two Democrat Governors—Illinois’ JB Pritzker and New York’s Kathy Hochul—face enormously important decision. Each has a bill on their desk which, if signed, will add to the roster of 11 states which allow assisted suicide.
Hochul has had months to decide—the House and Senate passed the “Medical Aid in Dying Act” in April and June, respectively—and opponents of assisted suicide hope and pray the long delay means that in the end she will veto S.138/A.136.
Proponents have pushed passage for years and years, proving yet again that pro-lifers can never rest.
The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago has filed a federal lawsuit against the city’s Board of Education, accusing the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) of religious discrimination. The district allegedly barred its students from participating in a student-teaching program because of the college’s faith-based hiring policies.
The suit, filed on November 4 by Alliance Defending Freedom, claims that CPS excluded Moody students from its Pre-Service Teaching Program when the college refused to sign agreements requiring compliance with the district’s nondiscrimination provisions. Those provisions prohibit employment discrimination based on religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
“As a condition of participation, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign agreements with employment nondiscrimination provisions that forbid Moody from employing only those who share and live out its faith,”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) is not a moderate or a centrist; rather, as BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler describes him, he’s a “radical leftist.”
But squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) doesn’t care, as his opponent for mayor, Omar Fateh, is a Somali-American — and she was furious when he lost the race, giving an angry speech in her native tongue — likely in the hopes that it wouldn’t be translated into English.
“When a Somali person becomes an enemy, they become a serious one,” she yelled in Somali. “There are people like that living right here in our city. We all see them. Some of us try to dismiss it, saying, ‘Oh, that person just talks too much, it doesn’t mean anything,’ or, ‘Leave them alone, that’s my relative.’”
Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-18) offered up a softball pitch to Democrats suddenly clamoring for public transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. They whiffed worse than the Mighty Casey.
Why? Because it’s all a political ploy meant to take down their nemesis, President Donald Trump.
As RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee genuinely thought they finally had Trump cornered when it came to the Epstein files. They released a trove of 20,000 documents from the late sex-trafficker’s estate, then honed in on three particular out-of-context emails which, in their minds, showed something nefarious.
Instead, it blew up spectacularly when it was discovered that the emails had redacted any mention of the “victim” in the case, who happened to be Virginia Giuffre. That move was intentional. Giuffre had stated under oath that Trump never acted inappropriately with her and that she never saw him with Epstein.
The Schumer Shutdown has officially ended!
President Trump just signed the funding bill to re-open the government, which was passed by the House this evening.

The University of Michigan Faculty Senate is aggressively urging the school to ignore federal rules — and science — to continue castrating minors in the name of transgender ideology.
The motion claims that so-called gender-affirming care is “medically necessary,” which is preposterous, since it is impossible to change one’s biological sex. Thus attempting to do so cannot be necessary; indeed, it can only be harmful. It is disturbing that the faculty senate is so blinded by ideology that they are determined to mutilate children at all costs and against all evidence.
The UMich faculty senate asserted in a motion that its obligation “to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future” necessitates transgender mutilation for minors. Sounds as if another university needs to lose federal funding.
The FBI on Thursday denied saying Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in July 2024, had no online footprint.
Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson alleged that the FBI “lied” about the deceased shooter’s seemingly nonexistent digital footprint and asked why that would be the case, teasing he would answer the question in a story on Friday with Crooks’s social media posts in his possession.
The FBI quickly disputed Carlson’s statement.
“This FBI has never said Thomas Crooks had no online footprint. Ever,” FBI Rapid Response said Thursday.
The longest shutdown in U.S. history has just ended but voices on both sides of the aisle are warning that another shutdown may be looming at expiration of the current funding ends on Jan 30.
A number of tax credit subsidies for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are set to expire at the end of this year and Democrats have insisted that they be renewed as a condition to supporting any new funding bills.
Republicans acknowledge that another fight over the ACA tax credits could cause another government closure at the end of January.
I know next to nothing about South Australia other than it is the fourth largest state in Australia by area and is located in the southern central part of the country. That and the establishment newspapers have no use for pro-lifers or for even the slightest rollback of their ultra-liberal abortion laws.
In 2023, abortion was “decriminalized” nationwide in Australia.
The headline to Barbara Baird and Prudence Flower’s story is typical: “South Australia is now the battleground for the forced-birth movement.” The subhead is “Conservative forces both inside and outside of state parliament want to make abortion a key issue in 2026.”
So what was the proposal just voted down by the Legislative Council (upper house) 11-8? “To limit terminations after 23 weeks.” This modest proposal was described by Anna Stewart as “controversial”.
The Democrats released an email from Jeffrey Epstein they say proves Trump knew Epstein was a pedophile before he severed ties with him. Epstein wrote, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. (Redacted name) spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.”
Epstein was writing to his assistant sex trafficker, Gislaine Maxwell. The name of the person they claim spent time with Trump was redacted unnecessarily, because the person is on public record as denying she ever spent time with Trump. The President’s downplaying of the Epstein files doesn’t help his case, but the person being named in this email testifying that wasn’t true is even more damaging to the Democrats’ claims.
Only years after this email did Epstein claim Trump “knew about the girls” in separate DNC-released emails. No emails related to the Clintons were released by the DNC, which adds to the credibility this was simply a misinformation character assassination campaign, standard operating procedure for the DNC.

Epstein emails say Trump ‘knew about the girls,’ spent time with victim – Denver Post
Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein wrote in a 2011 email that Donald Trump had “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with a victim of sex trafficking and said in a separate message years later that Trump “knew about the girls,” according to communications released Wednesday.
The emails made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee add to the questions about Trump’s friendship with Epstein and about any knowledge he may have had in what prosecutors call a yearslong effort by Epstein to exploit underage girls. The Republican president has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes and has said he ended their relationship years ago.
The messages are part of a batch of 23,000 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to the Oversight Committee. The release resurfaces a storyline that had shadowed Trump’s presidency during the summer when the FBI and the Justice Department abruptly announced that they would not be releasing additional documents that investigators had spent weeks examining, disappointing conspiracy theorists and online sleuths who had expected to see new revelations.
Higher education may have reached another turning point. As we have documented over the last few days, an event for Turning Point USA at UC-Berkeley was met with a violent mob. These were not ‘protesters and demonstrators’ as the media loves to call them.
These were people who were there to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk, keep the TPUSA event from happening, and hurt the people who showed up for the event.
The DOJ has already launched an investigation, and Berkeley has signaled its willingness to cooperate. This investigation absolutely needs to happen. Enough is enough.
The British government has reportedly suspended intelligence on Caribbean drug smuggling operations with the United States to distance itself from recent air strikes on cartel boats, seemingly siding with human rights lawyer maximalism over security interests.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s policy of using “kinetic strikes” to prevent drugs from making it to the streets of America has apparently been rejected by the human rights lawyer-led British government, evidently prioritising adherence to United Nations rules over its relationship with the nation’s most consequential ally.
Intelligence gathered from the string of British overseas territories and UK military intelligence assets stationed in the Caribbean is no longer being shared with Washington, according to CNN. The British government has refused to confirm or deny these claims, citing the importance of secrecy in intelligence matters, but the report cites an internal British source who states the UK stopped sharing intelligence a month ago, after the U.S. started sinking drug smuggler boats, and that his decision was reached because of human rights concerns.
An unelected district court judge ruled late Monday night that a Republican-proposed congressional map in Utah — a state that voted for President Donald Trump by nearly 22 points last November — was unconstitutional and instead, the state would have to adopt a map that creates a solid Democrat seat. The decision marks the latest setback in a string of redistricting battles that Republicans appear increasingly unwilling to fight, even as Democrats move full steam ahead with their own partisan redistricting efforts.
Utah District Judge Dianna Gibson ruled that the GOP proposal “unduly favors Republicans and disfavors Democrats.” The state legislature was ordered to draw a new map after the League of Women Voters of Utah and Mormon Women for Ethical Government sued over the current maps. Gibson previously ordered the state to draw a new map. The legislature approved a new map that retained the four congressional districts, though it made two of the districts slightly more competitive. But Gibson struck the new map down, instead accepting the plaintiff-drawn map that creates a new, safely Democratic district. Cook Political Report Senior Editor and Elections Analyst Dave Wasserman said the new district is a +24 for Vice President Kamala Harris.
QUEBEC CITY, Quebec (LifeSiteNews) — The province of Quebec has the highest euthanasia rate in the world.
On October 30, the Quebec 2024–2025 Report of the Commission on End-of-Life Care revealed that deaths by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) have reached 7.4 percent of the total provincial deaths and have increased 9% since last year.
“The Commission notes that MAiD is in increasing demand and occupies an important place in the public sphere in Quebec,” the report asserts.
“The Commission rigorously and vigilantly fulfills its mandate to ensure that MAiD requirements are properly applied in Quebec and that MAiD is not chosen as a treatment option when other [sic] curative, palliative, or end-of-life care options are unavailable,” it continued.
Despite its promise, the commission reported that 50 percent of the MAiD requests were from those who felt they were a burden to family, friends, or caregivers. Twenty-four percent of those killed cited loneliness and isolation as reasons to end their lives.
Over the past couple of days, my fellow pro-life student leaders and I witnessed first-hand the hostility that many young adults have to the idea that unborn babies shouldn’t be murdered in the womb.
Students for Life of America spokesperson Lydia Taylor Davis held a speaking event Monday on my campus, the University of Mary Washington, during her “Make Gen Z Anti-Abortion” tour.
I’m on the leadership team of Students for Life of America’s University of Mary Washington chapter. Throughout the weeks leading up to that event, our flyers advertising it were frequently taken down by other students.
Someone should “fact check” the promotional language of PolitiFact. They claim: “We’re a nonpartisan, independent newsroom dedicated to fact-checking journalism….The reason we publish is to give citizens the information they need to govern themselves in a democracy.” They claim they improve the quality of the “information ecosystem.”
But nearly every study of their “Truth-O-Meter” since PolitiFact was founded in 2007 has demonstrated a dramatic partisan tilt. From June to October, in the months before the Democrat Party sweep of off-year elections, how tilted was PolitiFact’s “fact-checking newsroom”?
NewsBusters analysts reviewed PolitiFact articles from the last five months of 2025 that evaluated a named politician or public official with a “Truth-O-Meter” ruling, and their tilted version of the “truth” shows that PolitiFact should not be described by anyone as “nonpartisan.”
The Utah Third District Court has struck down the congressional map crafted by the Republican-led state legislature, labeling it an unconstitutional “gerrymander” and replacing it with a map drawn by left-wing plaintiffs.
The new map, which the court claims better complies with the state’s anti-gerrymandering initiative, is projected to give Democrats an additional seat in one of the nation’s deeply red states.
At the heart of the controversy is the court’s decision to affirm a lower court injunction blocking the legislature’s maps (S.B. 1011 and S.B. 1012, known as Map C), claiming they violated Proposition 4 — a 2018 initiative designed to curb partisan gerrymandering.
The Court, led by Judge Dianna M. Gibson, has thrown out the legislature’s S.B. 1012 (Map C) and S.B. 1011, both approved earlier this year by the state’s duly elected representatives.
And instead adopts “Map 1,” drawn by the plaintiffs themselves, after declaring that the legislature’s map “unduly favored Republicans.”
The Senate approved a government funding package to reopen the federal government Monday night over the objections of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and a majority of Democrats.
Lawmakers voted 60 to 40 to pass the legislation with eight Democrats joining with Republicans to support the measure. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was the lone Republican to vote “no,” citing the measure’s insufficient spending cuts.
Democratic Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Dick Durbin of Illinois voted “yes” on the legislation to bring an end to the 41-day shutdown standoff. Independent Maine Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with Democrats, also supported the funding package.
The bipartisan shutdown package will fund the government through the end of January and advance a slate of appropriations bills that will fund the Departments of Veterans’ Affairs and Agriculture, the legislative branch and military construction for the current fiscal year.
Democrat Senator Dick Durbin exposed Schumer’s shutdown plan during remarks on the Senate floor on Monday.
In a stunning admission, Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dick Durbin said the Democrats’ shutdown strategy was designed to starve children.
After 40 days of a government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans on Sunday evening to advance legislation to reopen the government. Durbin was among those who broke ranks with his party to help push the bill forward.
Democratic senators and independents who caucus with them voted in favor, including King (ME), Fetterman (PA), Cortez Masto (NV), Shaheen (NH), Hassan (NH), Rosen (NM), Kaine (VA), and Dick Durbin (IL).
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Monday that he will call House members back to Washington as soon as the Senate passes an amended Continuing Resolution (CR) to reopen the government.
“We’ll give a 36-hour formal and official notice,” Johnson told reporters during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Monday morning.
The deal, having passed its first procedural hurdle in the Senate, is expected to lead to the government reopening in a matter of days, pending final votes in both chambers and President Trump’s signature.
Johnson sent House members home on September 19 and has kept the chamber in recess, effectively preventing further legislative action until the Senate approved the House’s funding bill with 60 votes.
The White House committed in writing Wednesday that President Donald Trump will sign the bill to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history once the House passes it.
In a statement of administration policy, the Trump administration urged every lawmaker to back the measure, which would reopen the government through Jan. 30 and fund some federal agencies through next September. The House is expected to vote Wednesday evening to clear the legislation for Trump’s signature, after the Senate passed the package Monday night.
Even as the White House encouraged House lawmakers to vote in support of the bipartisan measure, the administration took partisan swipes in the official memo, claiming that the funding lapse was “forced upon the American people by congressional Democrats.”

A church leader in the UK says police warned him that he may face a criminal investigation because a Bible verse displayed on the back of his campervan could be treated as “hate speech.”
The story is yet another chilling example of how far Britain’s crackdown on religious expression has gone.
Pastor Mick Fleming, 59, who runs an independent church and anti-poverty charity in Burnley, said he was approached by a police officer at a gas station on October 27.
The officer warned Fleming that the Scripture on his vehicle might be considered hateful “in the wrong context.”
The verse was John 3:16, one of the most widely known and quoted passages in the Christian faith:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.”
After much controversy over the doctoring of a portion of President Donald Trump’s remarks at The Ellipse on January 6th, 2021, it has been announced today that both the Director General and News CEO of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have resigned.
Per The New York Post:
The director-general of the BBC has resigned Sunday amid scandal after the British state broadcaster shared doctored footage of President Trump speaking on Jan. 6.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just given a huge boost to California’s plan to continue building one of the most expansive digital verification regimes in the country.
The appeals court refused to rehear NetChoice v. Bonta, leaving in place a ruling that allows California to advance a system critics warn could become a statewide online digital ID requirement.
The court’s decision keeps intact most of Senate Bill 976, the Protecting Our Kids from Social Media Addiction Act.
The bill was signed by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2024.
The law forces social media companies to implement “age assurance” systems to determine whether users are adults or minors.
