Earlier this year, Vice President J.D. Vance triggered quite a firestorm when he mentioned the Christian concept of ordo amoris, also known as the order of charity. “There’s this old-school—and I think it’s a very Christian concept, by the way—that you love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country, and then after that you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world,” Vance told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

by John Leake, Global Research: After years of lauding the Ukrainian actor, Volodymyr Zelensky as the “Savior of the West,” the U.S. media, including the New York Times, is starting to concede what sensible adults have understood since 2021—namely, that he was installed by the gangster oligarchs who have long run the country for their benefit. Two […]

Democrats have flipped the Miami mayor’s office for the first time in nearly three decades. Eileen Higgins defeated Emilio Gonzalez to become the first Democrat mayor of the Florida city since 1997. Decision Desk HQ called the race at 7:08 p.m. ET. According to The Hill, Higgins won the runoff election 59.5 percent to 40.5 percent. Decision Desk HQ projects Eileen Higgins to win the Miami Mayoral Runoff election.#DecisionMade: 7:08 pm ET pic.twitter.com/CSpm55Vw67 — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) December 10, 2025 The Hill shared further: The win is the latest boost for Democrats, who are coming out of better-than-expected elections in November and a strong showing in this month’s special House election in Tennessee. The party hopes that an energized base and a focus on issues like affordability will help them flip the House and possibly even the Senate in next year’s midterms. Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin lauded the win in a statement, describing it as “testament to what Democrats can accomplish when we organize and compete everywhere, including in Miami.” “Tonight’s result is yet another warning sign to Republicans that voters are fed up with their out-of-touch agenda that is raising costs for working families across the country,” he added. Higgins and Gonzalez were both forced into a runoff after neither candidate was able to receive at least half the vote. Higgins, who has become known as “La Gringa,” received 36 percent support in the November election, while Gonzalez received close to 20 percent. JUST IN – Democrat Eileen Higgins defeats Trump-backed Emilio González in the runoff for Miami mayor, marking the first Democrat to win the office in almost 30 years. pic.twitter.com/GEYNLzKMdv — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 10, 2025 “Grateful beyond words for the thousands of Miami residents who stood with us for integrity, safety, and putting families first,” Gonzalez said. “While this election didn’t end the way we hoped, our fight for accountability, transparency, and a city that works for residents not insiders continues. May God bless Miami and our future,” he added. Grateful beyond words for the thousands of Miami residents who stood with us for integrity, safety, and putting families first. While this election didn’t end the way we hoped, our fight for accountability, transparency, and a city that works for residents not insiders… — Emilio T. Gonzalez for Mayor of Miami (@Emilioformiami) December 10, 2025 More from Newsweek: As with any election between general and midterm elections, both parties will be taking note of the result in Miami and adjusting plans accordingly. With the midterms looming, Republicans will be looking to continue the momentum seen in 2024 and maintain a hold on both chambers in Congress, while Democrats will be looking for any signs they could upset that majority. Miami will likely remain a hotly contested area, with the city having been won by former Vice President Kamala Harris by one point in 2024, while Miami-Dade County flipped red for Trump. As the second-largest city in Florida, and one which is extremely diverse, the party’s likely cannot write off the mayoral race as they might in other parts of the country, especially with Trump’s endorsement of Gonzalez.

The plane was mere seconds away from colliding with Coffey’s vehicle, but instead flew over and crashed into the other car, he recalled. “I noticed it was there, because there’s a plane right there, I was like, ‘Hopefully it lands to the side,” his son, Peter Coffey, who also witnessed the crash, said. “I thought it might maybe aim around and not hit the car, but bam, the wheel just smacked right dab on the back of the car.” “Fortunately, the car didn’t roll, it kind of mashed and went to the side,” Jim Coffey said. Additional photos of the aftermath of the wreck showed the crumpled up trunk of the car and the plane, which appeared to have had its nose and wheel torn off.
