    NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Former President Donald Trump will make an Orange County visit on Saturday, June 8, and residents can expect road closures and traffic delays on Newport Beach's Harbor Island as a result. Bayside Drive, from Jamboree Road to Pacific Coast Highway, will be closed to motorists from 7 a.m. to around 3 p.m. on Saturday, according to city officials.
  • NYC woman, 93, left with no money despite owning a 10-unit Brooklyn building, family claims

    A Brooklyn immigrant’s $4 million nest egg is off-limits when she needs it most during her final years because of ineffective court-appointed guardians, her family contends. Aleksandra Chodowiec, 93, arrived in the U.S. from her native Wroclaw in western Poland by herself in 1973 at the age of 43. She worked two jobs, in an envelope factory and cleaning Manhattan offices. In just two years, the industrious Chodowiec saved enough dough to purchase what should have been a golden ticket: a five-story rental building with eight apartments and two commercial units in Greenpoint.
  • Socialist NYC pol Emily Gallagher screams ‘safe streets’ but blocks hydrants and ran a red light

    Assembly Member Emily Gallagher (D-Brooklyn) hates cars — except her own. The upstate-transplant socialist and “safe streets” lover has notched at least 46 (!!!) tickets these past 2½ years, for a total of more than $4,000. Turns out the white Buick of this tatted tribune of the people was caught illegally blocking fire hydrants.. Power to the workers! Unless their building’s on fire, in which case: Screw ’em. Far worse, the Rochester-reared revolutionary’s car has ripped through at least one red light — in The Bronx, a borough that’s almost 90% people of color. Guess black lives DON’T matter when...
  • What’s next in the lawfare campaign against Trump

    Washington Examiner ^ | 7 Jun, 2024 | Byron York
    The first thing to say about the Democratic lawfare campaign against former President Donald Trump is that it has been a smashing success. With help from a senior Biden Justice Department official and a Biden-donor judge, Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg set out to convict the former president on 34 felony counts and ended up convicting the former president on 34 felony counts. By any measure, that is a triumph for a prosecutor — and his party. Now, though, comes the task of converting a win in court into a win in the presidential election, which has always been...

    American Thinker ^ | 8 Jun, 2024 | Mike McDaniel
    We often hear about “bullet proof” vests. TV/movie good guys shot while wearing one immediately fall to the ground, breathless and momentarily incapacitated, even though the bullet did not penetrate the vest. Dramatic, but mostly nonsensical. There is no such thing as a “bullet proof” vest, merely vests designed to be bullet resistant, capable, depending on design, of stopping some, but not all, cartridges. The vests worn by these US troops, for example, are commonly rated to stop the usual rifle caliber cartridges of known enemies. However, they are heavy, hot and somewhat restrict movement. Graphic: Pfc. Ty Correll provides...
  • The Evidence Is In: Progressivism Is a Mental Illness

    American Thinker ^ | 8 Jun, 2024 | Todd Gregory, Erik Gregory
    Conservative media provide innumerable examples of Democrats shamelessly exhibiting hypocrisy and engaging in psychological projection — the habit of ascribing Democrats’ behaviors to conservatives (e.g., Trump and the GOP are guilty of engaging in lawfare and election interference, destroying democracy). In trying to understand the shambolic, emotion-driven mentality of Democrats, it is noteworthy that psychological displacement is also a prominent feature of the progressive mindset. In psychology, displacement is when a person takes a negative emotion (anger, frustration) and redirects the emotion from its original source to a less threatening recipient. An example of displacement would be a work supervisor...

    This spring was the most active severe weather season since 2011 with more than 1,000 twisters reported across the country. However, a change is on the horizon that will transform the severe weather dangers heading into the dog days of summer. "[We're] going to see disturbances coming down from the northern Rockies and through the northern Plains and into the Midwest," AccuWeather Long Range Expert Joe Lundberg said. "We think this is the most likely area to get thunderstorms." This corridor of storms will threaten Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Cincinnati. Some of the damaging thunderstorms may even blow...

    The Spectator ^ | 06/06/2024 | Ben Domenech
    Over the past two weeks, one of the biggest culture war conversations in America has had absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump, Joe Biden or the 2024 elections. Instead, it’s centered on, of all things, the WNBA. The discourse around Caitlin Clark, the Iowa phenom who won rookie of the month in May, has run the gamut of everything wrong with how we argue today — injecting racism, sexism, talk of “pretty privilege” and allegations of “assault” for hard fouls. Most non-sports commentators writing and discussing Clark’s controversial entry into the pros have never had an opinion about basketball...

    American Thinker ^ | 7 Jun, 2024 | C.S. Boddie
    You’re not powerless. There are steps you can take. The next few months, culminating in the presidential election on November 5, is a time for We the People in the USA to reset the Great Reset of the globalist elites, which is their plan to rule the world and subjugate us. How do we stop tyranny in the United States? Through peaceful political involvement with determination to remain in control of our own lives. If you watched the D-Day anniversary observance on CSPAN or elsewhere, you might have seen globalists in the audience, and on stage, including Emmanuel Macron, Joe...
  • Oral insulin drops under the tongue could replace diabetes injections

    New Atlas ^ | June 07, 2024 | Michael Irving
    Diabetics sick of daily injections may have renewed hope for a less invasive alternative. Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new delivery method for insulin where users just place a few drops under their tongue. A hallmark of diabetes is the inability to produce enough insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. Those with type 1, and many with type 2, will need insulin a few times a day, and that’s usually delivered through a subcutaneous injection. Not only is that uncomfortable, but it can be hard for patients to stick to, and creates potential biohazard...

    Costco will no longer offer books for sale year-round and will instead stock them only for the holiday shopping period and during special promotions, according to a report — a surprise move that poses yet another threat to the publishing industry.Several publishing executives who were informed of the retailer’s plans told The New York Times that Costco will cease offering books for sale on a consistent basis starting in January.The decision was met with criticism on Reddit, where users vented that the decision was akin to “cancelling the hot dog in the food court” — a reference to Costco’s beloved...

    XAI has its sights set on creating the world’s largest supercomputer and, according to a recent announcement, the Elon Musk-founded artificial intelligence company has selected Memphis for its site. The Greater Memphis Chamber revealed the southwestern Tennessee city had landed the planned project on Wednesday, saying it will be the "largest capital investment by a new-to-market company in Memphis history." The supercomputer will be called the "Gigafactory of Compute," the group said. Musk said it's "true" in a reply to an X post that contained footage of the Greater Memphis Chamber’s press conference announcing plans for Memphis to get the...

Here is what the present administration is doing, along with the medical community, and the rest of sleepy overindulgent America.

    18-year-old Andrea Ye, who goes by Alex, of Rockville, Maryland. On April 17, 2024, Ye was arrested following police learning about a 129-page manifesto.

Friday's court appearance for Andrea Ye, known as Alex, is only to set a trial date for the 18-year-old, according to a Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office official.

    When it comes to the issue of clearing out Deep State corruption, only one man has proven that he is determined to do what needs to be done. There is much to be said of the truly earth-shattering revelation that the Biden regime’s FBI had authorized the use of “deadly force” in its raid of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate two years ago. But while it is important for exposing the truly evil lengths to which the enemies of freedom will go, it is just as important for exposing the true loyalties of those we thought we could count among...

    The fascist far-left ruling class is fresh out of ideas, and Biden is in big trouble politically, polling right up there with fungal infections, in the words of Senator John Kennedy. Spending is out of control, causing rampant Bidenflation that everyone feels and no amount of BS from the national socialist media can hide. The illegal invasion is going to force even more “entitlement,” law enforcement, and drug treatment spending, causing even more spending and more Bidenflation in a never-ending “Democratic” doom cycle. Even their “best” idea is going bust before their very eyes. Waging lawfare against President Trump was...
