    No Trump judges, no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo. Pardon my language, but this guy is a worthless piece of shit. He’s worse than a grifter Democrat. Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel. Treacherous rat.
  • Megyn Kelly Questions Michael Jackson Accuser Wade Robson: ‘I Do Not Find the Story Credible at All’

    Megyn Kelly recently sat down with Michael Jackson‘s former lawyer, Mark Geragos, and she raised some questions about the credibility of Wade Robson, one of the accusers featured in Leaving Neverland... “I have to say... I found him very credible, and then I started to research him, and let’s just say less so,” Kelly told Geragos... “So he sued the Jackson estate, reportedly after he found out that he was not going to get this job with Cirque du Soleil,” Kelly continued, adding that Robson allegedly expected to be involved in a Michael Jackson-related production before he ultimately filed the...

    At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act. The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin. The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa reported.

    Ben Weir proposed and Andrew Watkins turned into an LNC motion an amendment to the Policy Manual, a dress code for the LPUS National Conventions. The proposal appears to refer primarily to male attendees.It is not clear what the author and mover of the motion think their phrase ‘biological males’ means. The proposal reads: Proposed Policy Manual Addition — Convention Decorum and Attire Standards Section X.X — Delegate and Speaker Attire Requirements In order to preserve a professional atmosphere during all official sessions of the Libertarian Party National Convention, the following minimum attire standards shall apply to all delegates, alternates,...

    This video, presented by Benny Johnson, discusses a series of claims regarding the political situation in Cuba as of May 2026. The host posits that the country is undergoing a regime collapse driven by economic crises, including severe fuel shortages and power blackouts, and asserts that the influence of Russia in the region is fading. Key themes and claims discussed in the video include: Geopolitical Shifts: The host suggests a "pragmatic trade" is occurring where the U.S. is solidifying its influence in its own hemisphere while acknowledging spheres of influence elsewhere, such as China and Russia. This is framed within...
  • SSPX 2026 Consecrations: Why It’s No Longer 1988

    SSPX 2026 Consecrations: Why It’s No Longer 1988For better or worse, most Catholics will judge the SSPX 2026 consecrations through the lens of 1988. But after Pachamama, Synodality, Fiducia Supplicans, and the collapse of doctrinal clarity in Rome, can serious Catholics still pretend nothing has changed? The case for the SSPX is far clearer today than it was when Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated bishops nearly four decades ago. Here's why: Not much, if anything, has changed about the fundamentals of the SSPX’s position since Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre consecrated bishops without Rome’s approval in 1988. Indeed, Archbishop Lefebvre’s sermon from the 1988...

    The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais saw the justices narrow Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and disallow race-based congressional districts. With the dust on redistricting mostly settled, Republicans appear poised for a double-digit swing of House seats in their favor in the 2026 midterms, at least if all goes according to plan. The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais saw the justices narrow Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and disallow race-based congressional districts. The move triggered map redraws across the South and is expected to result in more than a dozen seats moving...

    Anthony Seldon has written biographies of each of the last eight British prime ministers. When he embarked on the project in the 1990s, the work was mammoth but measured. Then, the occupants of 10 Downing Street would spend several years in office, allowing him to scrutinize his subjects properly as they each stamped themselves on their times. But Seldon now risks being overtaken by events. After the recent churn of leaders under the previous Conservative government, which saw the party cycle through three leaders in one year, Seldon had hoped that Keir Starmer’s victory in 2024 would herald a return...

    A strike by thousands of Long Island Rail Road employees brought the nation’s busiest commuter railroad to a standstill early Saturday, disrupting travel across the New York metropolitan area and setting up a major labor standoff between transit officials and union leaders. Train service was halted shortly after midnight when five labor unions representing nearly half of the railroad’s workforce launched a walkout after contract negotiations with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority collapsed. It marks the first rail strike on the system in roughly 30 years. The shutdown immediately affected commuters traveling between New York City and Long Island, with officials...

    In a disturbing snapshot of today’s Britain, the Henry Jackson Society published figures after this month’s local elections suggesting that more than 570 of new councillors were what it classed as “sectarian-style” candidates. The criteria used to define this were the emphases those candidates had, in their campaigns, put on issues of “Muslim communal grievance” and “transnational Muslim causes”. The Green Party, illustrating how it has stopped focusing on the environment or ecology, accounted for 350 of those councillors. What this has to do with local government is unclear; what it has to do with a complete failure of certain...

    Claims “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar was in on the $250 million scam. Omar would personally step in whenever those waivers ran out, allowing the rampant fraud to continue, Bock alleged. Aimee Bock, founder of Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud for helping restaurant owners file fake or inflated claims during the pandemic to steal millions in child nutrition funds from the government. She spoke to The Post by video call this week from Sherburne County Jail, where she is awaiting sentencing. Bock has consistently denied knowingly participating in the fraud and insisted she...

    South Carolina’s Lancaster County Council voted unanimously last week to deny a conditional-use permit for a proposed Islamic Mosque and community center in the Indian Land area after angry residents passionately spoke out against it. The rejection came after more than two hours of intense public testimony in which multiple residents warned that the mosque would import Sharia law and represent an ideological takeover incompatible with American values. One resident went viral after she declared, “This is not about a place of worship; this is not about religion; Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover.” She went on to...

    The US has recovered four distinct species of extraterrestrial life from crashed UFOs, a former CIA-funded government researcher sensationally claimed this week. Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program advisor and CIA-funded researcher, made the claim alongside “Age of Disclosure” director Dan Farrah on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast on Thursday. “People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” the 89-year-old said. “Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types...

He argued institutions rely on international tuition.Speaking to Fox News presenter Sean Hannity on 'Hannity', he articulated his perspective. 'But if you don't have those students — good students, by the way — if you don't ... if they're good and they want to stay in America, we won't give them a green card and things like that,' Trump explained… 'Frankly, I think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture, and many of them want to stay here. I think it's...

    This California town wants to reverse its woke policy on new and expanded gas stations so it can attract a Costco store, lawmakers signaled last week. Windsor in Sonoma County passed the law in 2022 to fight climate change, but as a repercussion, it also stymies cheaper-gas retailers like Costco from setting up there. The move comes as Costco furiously expands across the US and California. A new Costco in the Windsor area would be the third in Sonoma County. Lawmakers want to make it happen.

    One of the largest Pride festivals in the country has been canceled hours before it was set to begin and organizers are slamming the city for the decision, saying it sends the “wrong message” at a critical time for the LGBTQ community. The 42nd annual Long Beach Pride Festival was set to kick off on Friday night, with several day-long events planned on Saturday through Sunday with DJ’s, music, and live performances, drag show, and a ball, per the website.

    Explanation: Like salsa verde on your favorite burrito, a green aurora slathers up the sky in this 2017 June 25 snapshot from the International Space Station. About 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth, the orbiting station is itself within the upper realm of the auroral displays. Aurorae have the signature colors of excited molecules and atoms at the low densities found at extreme altitudes. Emission from atomic oxygen dominates this view. The tantalizing glow is green at lower altitudes, but rarer reddish bands extend above the space station's horizon. The orbital scene was captured while passing over a point south...

    [Catholic Caucus] Vatican II Condemns Today’s Vatican, Not the SSPXWho actually aheres to more of Vatican II's teachings: the SSPX, or the current Vatican? Drawing extensively from Vatican II’s own texts, this explosive analysis argues that Rome now contradicts many of the orthodox teachings conservative Council Fathers fought to preserve.One of the most interesting passages in Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s They Have Uncrowned Him is his description of the way in which the Vatican II documents were drafted. After having discussed the efforts of conservative Council Fathers to add orthodox passages to the Council documents to counterbalance liberal assertions, he wrote...
