Footage emerged of her arrest, with Leiva seen being grabbed her by the arms as she was placed in cuffs, pulling her up from the floor as she kicked out her legs and stamped her feet. She let out bloodcurdling cries as they did, saying: 'Help me, help me, I have my papers. Help...

Imagine for a nanosecond the histrionic reaction, if a pro-Palestinian activist, decked out in pro-Hamas gear or wrapped in a Palestinian flag, were arrested for peacefully standing too close to a Jewish temple. Oh, the humanity! From congressional Democrats to the lapdogs of the left-wing media, the uproar would be deafening — not to mention the oodles of vile, antisemitic posts on social media. Yet, in no-longer-jolly old England, a Jewish lawyer was recently arrested for allegedly "antagonizing" a group of pro-Palestinian protesters. The lawyer's crime? He was wearing a Star of David necklace. That, gang, was an actual slap...

3:20 President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States will impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Canadian imports, saying Canada aired a deceptive advertisement using altered audio and video of former President Ronald Reagan to undermine his administration’s tariff policy. President Donald Trump charged that Canada was “caught, red handed” using manipulated clips of Ronald Reagan in an anti-tariff advertisement broadcast during the World Series. The advertisement, produced by the government of Ontario, featured Reagan appearing to denounce tariffs, prompting an immediate response from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. In his Truth Social post, Trump cited...

Graham Platner, a far-left Democratic candidate running for Senate in Maine who has captured the enthusiasm of the party’s grassroots base, sought to preempt rumors circulating in recent weeks that a black skull-and-cross bones tattoo on his chest is a Nazi symbol. Speaking with Tommy Vietor on the “Pod Save America” political podcast, released on Monday night, Platner, 41, confirmed the existence of the tattoo, seen in video he shared displaying his bare chest, but suggested that his opponents in the race have been spreading claims that the symbol is affiliated with Nazism, which he forcefully denied. “I am not...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that white men of a “certain religion” are responsible for “so much damage” just two weeks after the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk. Clinton, 77, made the remarks during a segment Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in which the two-time Democratic presidential candidate said America has yet to achieve the “more perfect union” spoken of by former President Abraham Lincoln. “We haven't gotten to the more perfect union, and we fought a Civil War over part of it. And people have been protesting for hundreds of years that things were...

Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that the government, in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, may start to target “hate speech.” In a podcast interview the AG stated that hate speech isn’t free speech and that her office may prosecute those who cross the line. Her comments outraged many on the right, who correctly see “hate speech” as a dubious concept engineered to suppress conservative views. It’s also an unconstitutional concept, as our laws recognize hate speech as free speech protected by the First Amendment. This was affirmed by Charlie Kirk himself. “Hate speech does not exist legally in...

At a Dearborn City Council meeting last week, Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud told local resident Edward "Ted" Barham, a Christian, that he was "not welcome" in the city after Barham raised concerns about new street signs honoring Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani. FOX 2 Detroit reported that the signs honoring Siblani were placed at intersections on Warren Avenue by Wayne County, not the City of Dearborn. But the mayor escalated the debate, telling Barham, "Although you live here, you are not welcome here." Barham introduced himself as "Ted Barham, Dearborn resident," and objected to two intersections being renamed after...

Former President Joe Biden sparked concern after he was seen with a massive gash on his head while greeting people in Delaware over Labor Day weekend. Shocking footage shared on social media showed the frail 82-year-old sporting a noticeably red wound across the front of his head, partly hidden by his white hair, while leaving a church in Rehoboth Beach. “I was a little surprised ’cause it’s a noticeable scar,” Fred Karger, who filmed the video and shared it to X Tuesday, told Inside Edition, which first broke the news Thursday.

The so-called Frankenbunnies have been spotted multiple times in Fort Collins, Colo. Resident Susan Mansfield told 9News she saw a rabbit with what looked like “black quills or black toothpicks sticking out all around his or her mouth.”

Vikings fans cheered the return of JJ McCarthy earlier this week when the team defeated the Houston Texans. However, a section of the Skol is unhappy because the club introduced a male cheerleader. Female cheerleaders have been around for a long time, at both the college and professional levels. They play a key part in fan engagement and various other activities. It’s not as easy a job as it may appear. Participants undergo several rounds of evaluation and a year-round grooming process to have a chance to represent their teams. According to the sources in The Vikings, they added a...

Yes, while perhaps a dinosaur by today’s digital standards, dial-up is still around. But AOL says it’s officially pulling the plug for its service on Sept. 30. “AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet,” AOL wrote in a brief update on its support site — noting that dial-up and associated software “optimized for older operating systems” will soon be unavailable on AOL plans. AOL, formerly America Online, introduced many households to the world wide web for the first time when its dial-up service launched decades ago, rising to prominence particularly in the 90s...

Controversial radio host Howard Stern is set to have his show cancelled after nearly two decades of headlining SiriusXM, after reports say his contract will not be renewed. According to a report from The Sun, SiriusXM is expected to make an offer, though it’s expected that Stern will not be accepting. Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want, one source told The Sun, adding that it’s no longer worth the investment to keep paying the reported $100 million-a-year salary Stern is currently receiving. SiriusXM is expected to negotiate a deal to...
