As previously reported, Tish Hyman says she was kicked out of a Gold’s Gym after confronting a biological male who entered the women’s locker room while she was naked. Hyman, who identifies as a lesbian and outspoken advocate for women’s spaces, detailed the horrifying encounter on Facebook, where she described being naked and vulnerable when she turned around to find a man, dressed in “boy clothes” and lip gloss, staring at her. “This person told me he was a woman and demanded that I leave the women’s locker room. He said, “Straight women like dick, and they’re probably looking at...

Several years ago, I traveled to Amsterdam as part of the National Right to Life delegation for a multi-issue pro-family conference. The event brought together representatives from dozens of countries and organizations working in maternal health, children’s welfare, family policy, and religious freedom. Over the course of four days, the conference addressed a spectrum of bioethical concerns: euthanasia, adoption, trafficking, and the global expansion of abortion access under the guise of reproductive health. Our delegation included Dr. Wanda Franz, then president of National Right to Life, and her husband, Dr. Gunter Franz, as well as Olivia Gans. We installed NRLC’s...

@BethRigby Chatter has been swirling for days about a challenge to Starmer. As per @patrickkmaguire, I was also told this week by PM allies that Starmer will fight any challenge to his leadership rather than stand aside as No 10 operation goes on the attack ahead of a difficult Budget. The argument being made by PM allies is that any challenge would precipitate a drawn-out leadership election process, will spook the markets, and only create more chaos and further damage Labour brand. Am told that the PM is determined to fight on and has no intention of giving way just...

@RupertLowe10 I've just been attacked by both Polanski [Green Party] and Corbyn [Former Labour leader] over my calls to implement a hostile environment for illegal migrants - what a duo. @ZackPolanski says I should be 'absolutely condemned', calling it 'nasty' and 'cruel'. @jeremycorbyn says it's 'utterly repulsive'. Okay lads, if you say so. I am very much of the view that allowing hundreds of thousands of unvetted young men from cultures that actively hate women, and us, to roam our streets is absolutely mental. Do I think that placing unchecked Eritrean and Afghan men in communities all around the country...

A country hit made by artificial intelligence has climbed to the top of a Billboard chart - a first for the genre. The song, "Walk My Walk," by an artist known as Breaking Rust, is now No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart. But the brooding, gravel-voiced cowboy behind the hit doesn't exist. At least, not in the traditional sense. He's an AI creation with millions of streams, tens of thousands of followers and no verifiable human footprint.

There’s been a lot of conversation about Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes lately, but everyone should spare a thought for Candace Owens. On her eponymous podcast, Candace, the crackpot influencer has been conducting an “investigation” into what happened to Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University that is another symptom of how far off the rails a segment of the right-wing media ecosystem has gone. (Owens is too foolish even for Fuentes, who says she defines “low-IQ antisemitism,” although Carlson has her on his podcast for friendly interviews.) The Owens probe is about as serious and likely to bear fruit as...

How do we call out freeloaders at work without causing drama?This colleague seemed like the perfect team member: Friendly. Easy to talk to. Always ready with an emoji reaction in the group chat or a cheerful: "Sure, I can help!" when tasks were assigned. Yet somehow, their work never quite got done. Reports arrived half-completed, tasks were quietly pushed aside, and when deadlines loomed, there was always an excuse – a miscommunication, a family commitment, a "just need your quick help to finalise this" message. When the project finally succeeded, they were the first to claim credit. I smiled along,...

Video on X: An ANTIFA member just lit off a flare resulting in TPUSA event attendees being rushed inside. A car then comes and starts backfiring visibly scaring multiple attendees who feared they were hearing gunshots.

The hijacking and crashing of four U.S. jetliners on September 11, 2001, brought instant attention to Afghanistan. The plot had been hatched by al-Qaeda, and some of the 19 hijackers had trained in Afghanistan. In the aftermath of the attacks, the administration of U.S. Pres. George W. Bush coalesced around a strategy of first ousting the Taliban from Afghanistan and dismantling al-Qaeda, though others contemplated actions in Iraq, including long-standing plans for toppling Pres. Saddam Hussein. Bush demanded that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar “deliver to [the] United States authorities all the leaders of al-Qaeda who hide in your land,”...

LAS VEGAS, NV — Following a recent performance by a legendary band of their greatest hits, fans posted online about how they couldn't believe how much the lead singer had aged in the last 50 years. Though the crowd appeared to enjoy the show, attendees later expressed shock that the band's frontman looked so much older and worn down by life than he did when the band first hit it big in the 1970s. "Man, he really looks old now," said one fan in a social media post. "It's a far cry from the way he looked a half...

"Don't kill it, don't squish it, don't cut it up," Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller warned residents via NBC as a toxic flatworm spreads across North Texas. While this invasive species has been in the US for years, the state's fatally heavy rains, fueled by climate change, are enabling the hammerhead flatworm (Bipalium kewense) to thrive and spread. This brown and black-striped, flattened land planarian with a distinctive half-moon-shaped head can reach lengths of up to 40 cm (15.7 inches). Like many flatworm species, it can regenerate a whole new worm from slices of itself. Decapitating the worm will only...

Her recent appearances on Bill Maher, The View, and CNN are clear indicators Greene wants to win over anti-Trump Americans. Greene has been increasingly critical of her own party. MTG bashed Republicans for not having a “plan” to replace Obamacare, which she said made her “angry.”

A teen boy and his mother filed a federal lawsuit against Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and its police department, alleging false arrest and imprisonment after the boy was misidentified in a surveillance video and jailed for nearly a month on gun charges. The complaint filed by Mekhi Johnson and his mother, Amber Garrity, on July 31 (and obtained by Atlanta Black Star) claims Williamsport Police Bureau Agent Benjamin Hitesman ignored evidence proving Johnson’s innocence and failed to inform prosecutors, willful omissions that a county judge later said “cast a dark cloud” over local police and all law enforcement..... Based solely on that...

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them,” Laurence Binyon wrote. His words in his poem For the Fallen have become timeless and are read every year on Remembrance Sunday as Britain comes together to pay respect to all those who have died in conflict since the First World War. Some 107 years after WWI ended, those words still hold power today while reminding people about the lives sacrificed for peace. The first Armistice Day was observed on November 11, 1919, to mark the first anniversary of the end of the First World...

For the first time, astronomers have picked up a radio signal from the mysterious interstellar visitor as it speeds through our Solar System. South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope detected absorption lines from OH molecules...Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who has been studying 3I/ATLAS since the summer, said: 'These molecules leave a distinct radio signature that telescopes like MeerKAT can pick up.'... Optical images captured on November 9 reveal that 3I/ATLAS is ejecting enormous jets of material both toward and away from the sun. The jets stretch nearly 600,000 miles sunward and almost 1.8 million miles in the opposite direction, roughly the...

Nalin Haley, the 24-year-old son of former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, has sparked a major debate with his comments on immigration and jobs in America. In an interview with UnHerd, he said the US should not only stop illegal immigration, but legal immigration too. His reason was the same as many Americans right now — young people, including his own friends, are struggling to find work. Despite being from one of the most prominent Indian-origin families in US politics, Nalin took a hard line on immigration, including immigration from India. Nalin said the US should pause all...

CLEVELAND (WJW) – Veterans Day 2025 falls on Tuesday, Nov. 11, and is a day to honor and celebrate veterans and active military members nationwide.

---SNIP--- Whenever the November Witch sweeps across the Great Lakes in autumn, mariners know to beware. Hurricane-force winds, born from collisions of lingering summer warmth and frigid Arctic air, can slam into the lakes and set loose 40-foot waves. But unlike an ocean hurricane, which builds for days or weeks, the Witch of November—made famous by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 ballad—can transform the lakes from glass to fury in just hours. To the Anishinaabe, also known as Chippewa, it isn’t a sorceress who terrorizes the largest of the Great Lakes, but a clash between Thunderbirds, wind spirits who rule...
