    Former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., leads each of his three Democrat rivals in recent polling of Michigan's open U.S. Senate race, but every margin falls within the surveys' margins of error, leaving the contest statistically tied roughly 10 weeks before the Aug. 4 Democratic primary, with control of the chamber potentially riding on the outcome. Rogers, the Trump-endorsed presumptive Republican nominee, will share the stage this week with the three Democrats vying to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., at the Detroit Regional Chamber's annual Mackinac Policy Conference on Mackinac Island. All four candidates are scheduled to speak on Thursday....

  • THE BOX OFFICE STRIKES BACK: Disney\'s Newest Big Budget Star Wars Movie is Being CRUSHED by an Independent Horror Movie That Cost Next to Nothing to Make

    The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 29, 2026 | Mike LaChance
    Disney's newest Star Wars movie, 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' just opened in theaters. It cost millions upon millions to make the film and it is absolutely getting its butt kicked by a small, independent horror movie called 'Obsession' which was made for a paltry $750,000. Of course, $750K is a lot of money, but not by the standards of a Hollywood movie. That's chump change. Even so, people are flocking to theaters to see 'Obsession' instead of Disney's newest expensive flick. Star Wars fans have just been burned too many times. Disney basically broke the franchise by using it to...
  • Democrat James Talarico Offered Bizarre Prayer to Multiple Gods: ‘In Your Many Names We Pray’

    A clip of Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico offering a bizarre prayer while delivering an invocation on the House floor in 2021 has resurfaced where he referenced Hinduism, Islam, and more while attempting to acknowledge the names of the one true God and His son Jesus, ending his prayer in “all your many names.”“Let us pray. Holy Mystery, you have so many names,” Talarico said in the prayer before referencing a long list of other religious beliefs and their names for God, seemingly offering a universalist view of the One True God, the great I Am.“The Torah calls you Creator....

  • Judge orders Trump to answer questions about whether settlement that created "anti-weaponization fund" was "fraud"

    A federal judge signaled Friday she may reopen a legal case between President Trump and his own government that led the Justice Department to create a controversial $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund," ordering the president's lawyers to respond to allegations of "deception" and "fraud." U.S. Judge Kathleen Williams issued the four-page order after dozens of retired federal judges asked her to reopen the president's lawsuit, arguing the government and Mr. Trump may have "deceived" Williams into dismissing the case. Williams wrote that the former judges raised "grievous allegations" that Mr. Trump sought to dismiss the case "solely to avoid judicial scrutiny...

    VIDEOThe reason "Rain Day" is in quotes is that despite the weather website absolutely predicting a 100% chance of rain for the day that I did the BBQ, not a drop fell. However, despite the fact that I wanted to demonstrate that you could BBQ in the rain as long as you had overhead protection, this video does reveal what a terrific method the snake chain is for providing steady heat for your BBQ. For most of the 3 1/2 hours of BBQing in my Weber with the barrel extension the temperature remained locked in at the sweet spot of...

    When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Mike Pence was elated. For decades, he had decried the decision and championed the right to life. Much has changed on the right since Donald Trump’s first term, in which Pence helped shape the judicial appointments that led to the court’s landmark ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. But the former vice president remains palpably proud of his work. “I think the appointment of three of the justices that sent Roe to the ash heap of history, where it belongs, was a historic and generational achievement that will...

    In the crowded Democratic field running to replace Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, there’s a surprising frontrunner for a battleground state: a democratic-socialist line cook who has called to abolish the police. Francesca Hong, a 37-year-old restaurant owner and single mother who became the state’s first Asian-American assembly member in 2021, has surged to the lead in several early polls after launching a long-shot bid on a deeply progressive platform. Hong is part of an array of lefty candidates with working-class credentials running in competitive states and districts up and down the ballot in this year’s midterm elections — a crop...

    PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Pride celebrations across the country continue to lose out on large sponsorships as corporations, a key source of funding, shrink their affiliation with diversity causes and LGBTQ+ events. Corporate sponsorships of celebrations in several cities, including New York City, Salt Lake City, Louisville, St. Louis, Orlando, and Pittsburgh are down from previous years, organizers said. Jordan Braxton, co-president of the United States Association of Prides, which supports Pride celebrations nationwide, said that while some smaller Prides have seen a growth in sponsorships, a majority have seen a reduction. She said the Trump administration's dismantling of Diversity, Equity...

    Roger Daltrey has made the claim that THE WHO was "the first heavy metal band", having laid the groundwork for the genre more than six decades ago. The 82-year-old rock legend made the comments during a new interview with Rolling Stone. Asked how he sees THE WHO's legacy and what he and his bandmates did better than everybody else, Roger said: "We were just different than everybody else. Americans don't really know THE WHO from the early '60s, but as the drummer of DEEP PURPLE [Ian Paice] said recently in a magazine, 'THE WHO started it all.' We were the...

    Since Florida launched its immigration enforcement effort, Operation Tidal Wave, in February, nearly 25,000 arrests have been made statewide. “Florida will continue to use every available resource to identify dangerous individuals, support federal immigration enforcement and keep our citizens safe,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said. “No state has moved faster or done more to combat illegal immigration than Florida, and we will continue to lead the charge in protecting our communities.” Operation Tidal Wave was launched as Florida leads the country with the most 287(g) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agreements of any state, The Center Square reported. The program is...
