The sister of one of the 13 US troops killed in an ISIS-K suicide blast in Afghanistan last week slammed President Biden for comments he made while paying his respects Sunday, referring to them as 'scripted' and 'shallow.'   On Sunday, the remains of Marine Rylee McCollum, 20, were returned to the United States, where Biden, along with McCollum's pregnant wife, Jiennah Crayton, and his sister Roice, received him at Dover Air force in Delaware.  Biden met privately with McCollum's family, in addition to families of the 12 other fallen service members, before quietly observing flag-draped cases transport their bodies off a plane.  On Sunday, the remains of Marine Rylee McCollum, 20, (pictured left) were returned to the United States, where Biden, along with McCollum's pregnant wife, Jiennah Crayton and his sister Roice (pictured right) received him at Dover Air force in Delaware President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden watch as a carry team moves a transf

'The last thing we need is right-wing Republican governor': Bernie Sanders throws his support behind Gavin Newsom in California recall so he 'can address climate crisis and immigration reform'

Weeks before the recall race in California, Sen. Bernie Sanders is throwing his weight behind Gov. Gavin Newsom.  'At this unprecedented moment in American history, when we're trying to address the crisis of climate change, guarantee healthcare for all, and pass real immigration reform, the last thing we need is to have some right-wing Republican governor in California,' the Democratic Socialist from Vermont said in a video ad released Monday. 'The September 14th recall of Governor Newsom is a bold-faced Republican power grab,' he added. 'Don't let it happen. Please.' Sanders vastly outperformed all other Democrats in California in the 2020 presidential primary, and his support could help turn out progressives at the ballot box on Sept. 14.  Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris bailed on campaigning for the governor amid the crisis that unfolded in Afghanistan, as Newsom's popularity slips in polls.  So far 46 people are vying to replace Newsom, a

who was truly responsible for the death of princess diana?

The untimely death of one of the most-loved and famous women in the world touched off a global outpouring of grief and mourning. The circumstances of her death also triggered a slew of conspiracy theories about the circumstances surrounding that fateful night in a Paris underpass.  Many of these allegations were fanned by Dodi Fayed's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, who believed Establishment opposition to Diana’s relationship with Dodi was driven by racism and Islamophobia. Al Fayed was not alone in believing there had been a plot. ‘It was an international concern,’ said former Metropolitan Police Commissioner John Stevens. ‘I think something like 65 or 70 per cent of the country thought there had been a conspiracy and that the death of someone like Diana, who was an icon... couldn’t be explained away, other than that... foul play place.’  As the years passed and questions lingered, the Coroner of the Queen's Household asked Stevens to conduct an investigation into the allegations
