The New York District Attorney's office has slammed Republican requests for documents and testimony related to their investigation of former President Donald Trump as "an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution." In a stern letter addressed to three Republican House committee chairs, the Manhattan District Attorney's office made it clear that they will not allow their investigation to be impeded. Leslie Dubeck, General Counsel for the District Attorney of New York County, accused the congressional request of being designed to "punish" the office for their investigation, and labeled it "indefensible." This response comes after House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Comer, and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil demanded documents, communications, and testimony related to the investigation of the former president. The ongoing investigation revolves around a $130,000 payment to adult

CANYON, Texas - West Texas A&M University President Walter Wendler has taken a firm stand against what he perceives as a denigration of women by canceling a drag show event originally scheduled for March 31. Wendler, in an email to the campus community, expressed his belief that drag shows demean and diminish women, comparing the events to "blackface" performances. The show, titled "A Fool's Drag Race," was intended to raise funds for the transgender crisis management non-profit organization, The Trevor Project. While Wendler supported donating to the organization itself, he argued that drag shows perpetuate harmful stereotypes and undermine the progress made toward gender equality. Wendler emphasized his commitment to providing fair opportunities to all individuals based on their academic performance. He argued that the university, as an institution representing the state of Texas, should elevate students based on their abilities and achievements, regardles

  In an age when transparency should be a priority, China continues to shroud itself in secrecy, this time by withholding critical information that could provide answers to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has publicly criticized Chinese officials for their lack of cooperation, further fueling suspicions of a sinister agenda behind their actions. The missing data, which was briefly available in January, could have been shared with the international community three years ago, according to WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. This delay has not only hindered global research efforts but has also perpetuated uncertainty and chaos worldwide. In a damning revelation, researchers discovered that the data pointed to the possible origin of the pandemic in a Wuhan seafood market, where illegally traded raccoon dogs may have infected humans. The presence of raccoon dog DNA, coupled with genetic signatures of the coronavirus, suggested a stro

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow, greeted by a Russian military band at Vnukovo airport, to embark on a visit that is widely seen as China's most overt show of support for Russia since the beginning of the Ukraine invasion in February 2022. Although President Vladimir Putin was not present at the airport, the Chinese President expressed optimism about the visit, stating, "I am sure my visit will be fruitful." In an article published in the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Xi wrote about the growing friendship between China and Russia, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the bond between the two nations. He also noted his anticipation for working with Putin to develop a new vision for the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination. The leaders are set to meet at the Kremlin at 4:30 p.m. local time, with an "informal" meeting followed by a dinner, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. Official talks and a st

In an age where hustle culture is leaving women feeling burnt out, a new and controversial trend is emerging on TikTok: the 'Trad-Wives.' These women, who have chosen to return to traditional wife roles, are using social media to showcase the joy and fulfillment they find in homemaking, challenging the idea that a nine-to-five job is the path to a woman's happiness. Estee C. Williams, 24, is one of these women, sharing her sexy and intriguing 'Trad-Wife' lifestyle with her followers. She defines a 'Trad-Wife' as "a woman who chooses to live a more traditional life with ultra-traditional gender roles." Williams asserts that this is not an attempt to dismantle women's right to work but a personal choice made by women who believe that a wife's role is to be a homemaker. "I chose the trad lifestyle because I believe that women have drifted far from our roots," Williams said. "For me, the hustle culture was not appealing. Being a

From foraging for detergent sacks in Benin to sleeping on Parisian park benches, the remarkable odyssey of Shazam! star Djimon Hounsou has been fraught with adversity. But now, with a slew of roles under his belt, can Hollywood finally recognize the astonishing talent of this Academy Award-nominated actor? Or will the systemic racism that permeates the industry continue to hold him back? Djimon Hounsou's cinematic dreams began during his childhood in Cotonou, Benin, where he would scavenge for Omo detergent sacks to exchange for cinema tickets. After a tumultuous journey that saw him living on the streets of Paris, he eventually found himself in Los Angeles with aspirations of becoming an actor, despite speaking limited English. Now, with a string of critically acclaimed dramas and big-budget blockbusters to his name, the 58-year-old actor has certainly made a mark on the film industry. But as his experiences reveal, the shadow of racism still looms large over Hollywood. Hounsou ha

Twenty years ago, the US, supported by the UK, invaded Iraq in a catastrophic military endeavor based on dubious intelligence and a blatant disregard for international law. This invasion would lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, decades of civil war, and sectarian violence in Iraq, giving rise to the Islamic State militant group. In an arrogant assumption, the US and its allies, including the UK, believed that their overwhelming technical and military superiority was enough to control a distant nation and its people. The invasion began with a "shock and awe" bombing campaign to showcase this military power. This invasion would bring about untold suffering and devastation in Iraq. The US military's actions in Iraq exhibited a blatant ignorance and disdain for the reality on the ground, where decades of bloodshed were only just beginning. The Chilcot report, a damning inquiry into the UK's involvement in the war, found that the UK joined the invasi

In a bombshell revelation, former US President Donald Trump has set the world abuzz by announcing on his Truth Social page that he expects to be arrested next Tuesday. As the news spread like wildfire, celebrities from all walks of life have weighed in with their opinions, with some notable figures such as Stephen King and Rob Reiner expressing their disdain for Trump. Trump's incendiary post attacked the "corrupt & highly political Manhattan district attorney's office," alleging bias in the charges expected to be brought against him. These charges are connected to a hush money payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The former president urged his supporters to protest and "take our nation back." Famed author Stephen King was quick to voice his opinion on the matter, stating that "Donald Trump is a sociopath and a criminal," while warning against the prospect of Trump ever regaining access to the nuclear codes.
