Marxist-driven Democrats swept New York City’s Tuesday elections, prompting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to declare a democratic socialist mandate in the Big Apple. Communists are feeling their oats over the wins, which are seen as shots over the bow of Democratic leadership. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are both from New York, and socialist voters were seen shouting “you’re next” at a television screen showing Jeffries on Tuesday night. At the same time, so-called “centrist” House Democrats are reportedly preparing “for war” if the NYC congressional candidates win in November, which is highly likely....

Explanation: In this recent HiRISE view from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the little green dot indicated on the surface of the big Red Planet is the Perseverance Mars rover. Recorded on June 13, the car-sized, six-wheeled robot was imaged a day before completing a Martian marathon, traveling a total distance of 26.218 miles (42.195 kilometers) since it began exploring the surface of Mars. That equivalent marathon distance was achieved by Perseverance on its mission sol (Martian day) 1,890, after about 5 Earth years and 4 Earth months of driving. Perseverance is continuing to hunt for biosignatures. In the HiRISE image,...

Britain's strictest headmistress, Katharine Birbalsingh, argues that the West's moral crisis began with the values we taught our children.

The attorney who helped persuade the Supreme Court to strike down Hawaii’s private-property concealed-carry restriction on Thursday criticized the state’s reliance on a Reconstruction-era Black Code to defend the law. In a 6-3 decision in Wolford v. Lopez, the Court held that Hawaii cannot require licensed gun owners to obtain express permission before carrying firearms onto private property open to the public. Gun-rights challengers dubbed the policy the "vampire rule" because lawful gun owners had to be "invited in" before entering businesses while armed. "It is disgraceful that any state would rely on a law specifically aimed at taking away...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats have reacted with outrage and fury that President Trump could force Haitians to leave the evil, racist country known as the United States. In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that ends temporary deportation protection for many Haitians, Senator Chuck Schumer lambasted Trump for planning to force thousands of migrants out of the horrible U.S. and back to the peaceful, wonderful country of Haiti. "Trump would send these people back to the paradise known as Haiti, and we won't stand for it," said Schumer. "This radical, Trump-owned Supreme Court has just made way for the...

🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz have just announced OVER *ONE MILLION* PEOPLE are on Obamacare with NO Social Security number… 🤯🤯 It’s one big racket! Shut it down! “They submit applications for fake people and enroll stolen identities all to collect millions of dollars in fees from insurance companies for selling plans they never legitimately sold!” “The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud, in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails.” “More than a million people enrolled in Obamacare without social security numbers on file. That is a glaring warning...

Here’s your feel good story for the weekend, Save Jerseyans! Democrat enthusiasm for our country is at an all-time low as America’s 250th birthday approaches, and if you want a clear non-polling illustration, consider how multiple states with Democrat governors refused to participate in the Great American Fair currently underway on the National Mall. Each state, territory, and D.C. were supposed to have their own manned exhibit-style booth highlighting the beauty and diversity of our great nation, but some blue and purple state governors (like Mikie Sherrill and PA’s Josh Shapiro) declined to engage what should’ve been an opportunity to...

Seattle’s “Pride Match” for the Iran-Egypt game is unofficial and unlicensed. That’s entirely the point. SEATTLE — FIFA has not endorsed the Seattle host-city committee’s “Pride Match” designation, which will not be part of the official branding when Iran and Egypt meet tonight at Lumen Field. “I think they’ve always been aware of what we’re doing,” said Louise Chernin, who as chair of the organizing committee’s Pride Match Impact Council began planning for the day nearly a year and a half ago. Chernin began her match day at Rough & Tumble, a women’s sports bar in Ballard, a historically Scandinavian...

A United Airlines jet nearly smashed into a drone as it was landing on the Newark runway Friday, officials said. The crew narrowly avoided the unmanned aircraft during its descent around 4:20 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration. “We almost hit a drone,” the pilot can be heard saying in air traffic control audio verified by CNN. The circular and three-foot-wide device was only “about 100 feet below us.” Another pilot flying into Newark on a separate plane also reported seeing the drone at roughly 2,000 feet, additional audio shows. The United Airlines Boeing 737 was carrying 106 passengers...

Palmer Township police are searching for the person who stole Juneteenth and LGBTQ Pride flags from a flagpole outside the Easton Area Public Library Palmer branch overnight Wednesday.

When Leo XIV Allowed Illicit Episcopal ConsecrationsHaving accepted in 2025 bishops appointed unilaterally by China, Leo XIV should not threaten the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) with excommunication for similar actions, writes Rev Matthew Dimock, a diocesan priest of the Diocese of Charlotte on OnePeterFive.com on June 25.Rev. Dimock is NOT a defender of the FSSPX.His argument is that justice requires the Church to enforce its laws consistently, rather than making exceptions based on diplomatic or political considerations.In late April 2025, during the period between the death of Francis and the election of a new pope, the Chinese...

The false Sullivan had never previously affiliated with the Republican party until his decision to run against the incumbent Dan Sullivan. He employed a consultant who is a well known supporter of Mary Peltola, a Democrat running for the same office.

Karen Kingston was one of the very first to warn people about the dangers of the CV19 bioweapon vaccines. Kingston is a biotech analyst, former Pfizer employee, and is warning that “Government Agencies are Bringing the Flu Back with a Vengeance.” This means new flu shots are already being developed. Kingston is back sounding the alarm for anyone thinking about getting one of the new flu shots. Kingston has done a deep dive using Big Pharma data on these new injections s. If you take one of them, it appears you are more at risk of getting sick or dying...

The decisive primary sweep by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s left-wing comrades gave Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez such an ego boost that Democratic insiders predict it could spur a White House bid in 2028. The “Squad’s” queen bee may ditch her long-anticipated plot to unseat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for bigger game after three radical Mamdani-backed insurgents running for House seats on Tuesday defeated old-guard Dems, pushing the party even further left, the insiders said. “New York’s clean sweep was a political earthquake that shows voters generally want to shake up the system,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change...

This isn’t pregnancy. It’s a political plot. A full-blown, unhinged conspiracy orchestrated by the MAGA movement to take over the hearts, minds and uteruses of gestating people all over the nation, one bassinet, one burp, one stretch mark at a time. The New York Times has cracked the code. It’s Pulitzer time, baby! In an investigation masquerading as a style piece, the Paper of Record published an unglued commentary, researched with the self-seriousness of Watergate, revealing that a whopping three women connected to the White House are preggers. That Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller, the wife of White House...

The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City issued a red flag warning Friday morning as emergency workers continued to battle one of the state’s largest wildfires in its history.
