US blocks Palestinian leader from UN meeting in New York for second year in row

The US has denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an entry visa to attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week, two Palestinian sources have told the BBC.

It comes after the US said it was extending visa sanctions against Palestinian officials, without naming Abbas, accusing them of failing to live up to peace process commitments.

Sanctions were initially imposed in August last year, when 80 Palestinian officials were denied visas for the annual UN meeting in New York.

In its statement, the US accused the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) of "glorifying terrorism" and attempting to "internationalize" the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) was established by the Oslo peace accords. The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) was recognised after the same process as the official representative of the Palestinian people in return for it recognising Israel and renouncing violence.

In a statement on Thursday, the Palestinian foreign ministry called the visa sanctions "an unjustified measure that runs counter to efforts to rebuild trust, develop Palestinian-US relations, and create the necessary political climate for implementing the two-state solution and achieving peace and stability".

Palestinian officials have rejected the long-held accusations of the Trump administration and Israel, adding they have a right to seek accountability against an occupying force under international law.

After the visa decision last year, a representative for Abbas said the move stood "in clear contradiction to international law and the UN Headquarters Agreement".

The U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted along party lines to approve a resolution holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he declined to answer questions during a recent hearing, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights. Committee Chairman Rand Paul argued that Fauci defied a lawful congressional order, while Democratic members warned the action could undermine constitutional protections and discourage future witnesses from testifying before Congress.

Hegseth Says U.S. Troops Are Fighting for Jesus. The Pope Disagrees.

In sharp contrast to the Trump administration’s calls for Christian prayers for the war effort, Pope Leo XIV says military domination is “entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.”

Pete Hegseth, the U.S. defense secretary, has asked the American people to pray “every day, on bended knee” for a military victory in the Middle East “in the name of Jesus Christ.”

Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S.-born pontiff, has a starkly different take on what should be done in Jesus’s name.

In a homily during a Mass on Thursday morning before Easter, the pope said that the Christian mission has often been “distorted by a desire for domination, entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.”

Since the United States and Israel began bombing Iran in late February, the pope has consistently called for an end to the violence and a return to dialogue to resolve the conflict. But without naming Mr. Hegseth, he has also pointed out the ways in which Christianity has been marshaled for purposes that the pope says do not align with Catholic teaching.

CIA accused of 'poisoning the sky' with toxins as files expose secret weather control agenda


By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR

Published: 16:25 EDT, 17 March 2026 | Updated: 06:05 EDT, 18 March 2026


Once top-secret CIA files have detailed America's plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.

The documents, declassified in 2003, discussed the controversial topic of weather modification, the tactic of launching rockets or using planes to dump chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and local storm systems.

Although the resurfaced documents from 1965 did not mention the specific chemicals used in the experiments, they did discuss the need for more funding of the weather modification projects that would soon be used as a weapon of war.



In fact, the memos noted that federal funding for the secret program was set to be four times higher in 1967 - the same year the US began spraying toxins over Vietnam to cause floods and landslides.

One post on X claimed: 'The CIA has been poisoning the sky and controlling the weather since 1965!'

The 18-page report was recently shared by conspiracy theorists, years after it was quietly placed into the CIA's public archives, including a letter praising the classified operation from US President Lyndon B Johnson.

Johnson's endorsement of the CIA's weather modification project came just three years after he gave an ominous speech on the future of America and the work to create 'weather satellites' with the power to strengthen storms.

While giving the commencement address at Southwest Texas State University in May 1962, then-Vice President Johnson said: 'He who controls the weather will control the world.'



Conspiracy theorists have claimed that airliners have been pouring various chemicals into the atmosphere for years for nefarious reasons including population control and mind control

Pope declines invite to America’s 250th despite Vance's 'in-person' invite

Pope Leo XIV has officially dissed Catholic JD Vance’s formal invitation to the upcoming July 4th 250th festivities in the United States. Instead, the Pope, formerly of Chicago, will be celebrating that day “on the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa — a migrant gateway in the Mediterranean,” reports Christopher Hale, who chronicles the Vatican’s doings with his “Letters from Leo” reports.

“… [B]ack in May 2025, JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to take part in the anniversary celebrations. Many assumed Trump and Vance would welcome the first American pope with open arms during this historic jubilee. But Pope Leo never accepted the offer,” reports Hale, adding that the rejection came days after the Vatican also rejected an invitation to President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

Worse, the Vatican quietly confirmed the pope has no plans to visit the United States at all in 2026.

“Instead, on the very day of America’s 250th, [the pope] will kneel on a rocky outcrop closer to Tunisia than to Washington, bearing witness to those dying in desperate search of freedom,” said Hale. “The contrast could not be sharper. President Trump envisions F-35 flyovers and fireworks in the capital’s sky; Pope Leo will stand under the same sun on Lampedusa, greeting strangers at the door.”

The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House Full Committee on Oversight and Government Reform



THE BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL IN AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY

Chairman James Comer and Oversight Republicans have released a bombshell report exposing the truth behind Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and who was really running the show.

Through transcribed interviews and depositions with Biden’s own former senior staff, we uncovered that while Biden struggled to perform his duties, critical decisions were made behind closed doors without a clear chain of command. That included using an autopen to sign executive actions, pardons, and major policy directives without clear approval from Joe Biden.

Staffers close to Biden admitted his decline was real. Shockingly, some did not even know who was authorizing signatures in his name or using the autopen. Others invoked the Fifth, refused to testify, and stonewalled the Committee at every turn.

This isn’t just a cover-up—it’s the biggest political scandal in American presidential history.




The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history.

As Americans saw President Biden’s decline with their own eyes, Biden’s inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover-up his decline, and took unauthorized executive actions with the autopen that are now invalid.

THE TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEWS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of the Oversight Committee’s investigation into The Biden Autopen Presidency, Chairman James Comer and Committee staff conducted transcribed interviews with several of Joe Biden’s former senior aides and advisors. These witnesses who worked closest to the former president painted a disturbing picture of a White House in decline and denial.

Their testimony revealed that President Biden’s cognitive deterioration was real, visible, and widely discussed inside the West Wing. Senior staff admitted the President was shielded from unscripted events, major policy meetings, and medical evaluations that could expose his condition.

Political operatives, like Anita Dunn, interfered in medical decisions, blocking cognitive tests to protect Biden’s reelection prospects.

Witnesses further confirmed that critical executive actions and even presidential pardons were executed without Biden’s direct authorization, signed instead by an autopen. Several aides confessed they did not know who was approving or controlling its use.

The Committee’s findings are clear: Biden’s top aides concealed his decline, exercised presidential authority without him, and misled the American people.

Southern Adventist University Denies That They’ve Approved a Turning Point USA Chapter on Campus




18 October 2025 |

Southern Adventist University (SAU) has denied a report by the website Fulcrum7 that there is a new chapter of Turning Point USA on its campus.

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a political organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk “to educate young people about the importance of limited government, free markets, and freedom.”

On October 15, Fulcrum7 wrote that

“Apparently there is a new TPUSA startup at Southern Adventist University—perhaps in the wake of Charlie’s assassination. From the new Chapter: ‘We’re a new startup at Southern Adventist University and we’re excited to join the tpusa community! We are fighting for free speech and freedom on a college campus!'”

The Southern Accent, SAU’s student newspaper, said on its Instagram page that

“Turning Point USA is NOT opening an official chapter at Southern Adventist University, according to Dennis Negrón, vice president for Student Development.”

The announcement on TPUSA’s website listed the two officers of the new chapter: Noel Hendrickson, president and treasurer; Izabel Sigulinski, vice president and secretary. Some commenters say these are former students, not current ones, though Adventist Today wasn’t able to confirm that. According to the handbook for student organizations at SAU, all student organizations must be approved by the university. Officers must be current students, and go through a registration process with the student development office.

“Until an organization is registered, it cannot operate on behalf of Southern or take advantage of any privileges granted to registered Southern Student Organizations.”

A note from a SAU employee:

“I looked up the President and secretary/treasurer you mentioned for the reported upcoming chapter in our people finder for you. They are both listed as alumni, which would render them ineligible to start an official chapter here.”
