An iconic southern landmark went up in flames on Friday morning. If you've ever vacationed in Panama City Beach, Florida (as most of the Southeast has), you're almost certainly aware of the "shark store," a shop called Jaws Souvenirs on the way to the Florida coast. Welp. It's a goner. VIDEO AT LINK.......... This thing went up like a firework. Here's WSFA: Officials say the Bay County Sheriff's Office was also on scene to assist with traffic. Officials say the eastbound and westbound lanes are currently closed and ask drivers to avoid the area from Upas St. to Walnut St....

The Constitution’s stated goals are in the Preamble: a more perfect Union, justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare, and the blessings of liberty for living and for posterity. If those are the ends you actually love, the consistent opposites are what undermine them: Disunion and factionalism that treat the country as a temporary alliance of tribes rather than a single people under one law. Injustice—unequal application of law, corruption of courts, or rule by status instead of by rules. Disorder that the government fails to suppress: endemic crime, riots, or private violence that makes ordinary life insecure. Weakness or...

Michigan pastor Lorenzo Sewell delivered a blistering address at a Dearborn City Council meeting this week, accusing local leaders of allowing the city to fall under Sharia law. VIDEOS AT LINK............. Sewell stepped to the microphone and seemed intent on refusing to bend the knee in his messaging. It's impossible to overstate the amount of courage it takes to make this kind of stand. "America, we have lost this city,” he declared, his tone rising with urgency. “This is a city that is no longer under American laws; we are under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore.” "Enough...

If you want to understand the difference between the political left and right, just look at how each side has treated the Supreme Court. For decades, conservatives grumbled about liberal justices on the court and the judicial activism they engineered in rulings such as Roe v. Wade. Justices, conservatives said, are supposed to interpret the law, not make it. They spent years articulating and defending this principle, and educating and supporting judges who thought likewise. And for decades, conservatives tried to get Republicans elected president in hopes (which were often dashed) that they would restore judicial balance to the court....

Former first lady Jill Biden is refusing to close the door on one of the wilder theories surrounding her husband’s disastrous 2024 debate performance. That he was drugged.

The US Navy is working to rename an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to honor a Black sailor hailed for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, three sources familiar with internal discussions told CNN.During President Donald Trump's first term, the Navy announced that the Ford-class carrier would be called the USS Doris Miller, recognizing an enlisted sailor who helped defend US forces from Japan's attack.It's unclear what the Navy is seeking to change the name of the carrier to, though two of the sources said there have been internal conversations about renaming it to honor...

How are you doing? This is Sahar TV with another update on the situation that happened in Dearborn yesterday, August 18, when a bunch of "Crusaders" took their motorcycles and rode all the way to Dearborn, Michigan to show them that America is not a Muslim nation.

A Pennsylvania college soccer star was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend, who claimed “demons” told him to do it — and got his mom to help him dispose of the body, according to police. Karoline Heintz was found dead in the back hatch of her Jeep Cherokee at around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, just outside the Pennsylvania Western University campus in California, Pa. Heintz, an incoming freshman on the university’s women’s soccer team, had met up with her boyfriend, Royce Mosher, after she attended a family party earlier in the evening, Pennsylvania State Trooper Rocco Gagliardi told reporters.

This week, five unelected California Energy Commission members unanimously adopted new rules that will make an estimated 70% of the tires currently sold in California illegal by 2033. Given the Golden State’s history of seeing its regulations — from vehicle emissions to appliance standards — become de facto national rules because of the size of the California market, these restrictions could be coming soon to many other states. The Energy Commission’s rules will be imposed in two phases, so that by 2033 they will ban the sale — both retail and online — of replacement tires that don’t meet exacting...

A mother in Florida was arrested after she allegedly assaulted her daughter’s elementary school teacher and principal when they wouldn’t allow her inside of the school building to get the girl’s backpack that she left in a classroom. Lynesia Dorsey has been charged with battery on a school employee following the incident that took place during the first week of school on August 13.

* Caffeine acutely raises blood pressure (by 3-15 points systolic), but habitual coffee drinkers develop tolerance, leading to only modest long-term increases of about 2.4 mmHg systolic and 1.2 mmHg diastolic. * Slow caffeine metabolizers face higher heart attack risks with more coffee, while fast metabolizers clear caffeine efficiently, explaining conflicting study results. * A review of 13 studies involving 315,000 people found that coffee drinking was not associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension, regardless of gender, amount or caffeine content. * A Japanese study found that people with severely high blood pressure (160/100 or above) who drank...

American political life is shifting beneath our feet. For nearly a decade, the cultural landscape was dominated by an academic, HR-driven crusade centered on language control, institutional capture, and symbolic compliance. That era – termed Woke 1.0 by commentators – reached its peak around 2024. It policed pronouns, mandated workplace diversity seminars, deployed therapeutic jargon, and enforced obedience through social shaming and corporate fear. What has replaced it is what critics describe as a harder, more confrontational phase: Woke 2.0. Soft appeals to corporate allyship and workplace inclusivity have given way to an explicitly anti-capitalist politics that prioritizes raw power...

The FBI's new crime report is out, and it's safe to say that those who listened to the predictions of anti-Second Amendment groups are wondering where the crime is. Since the Supreme Court struck down New York's discretionary system for issuing concealed carry permits in June 2022, groups like Everytown, Giffords and Brady United predicted public safety would be diminished by the decision. However, the FBI's data noted that in 2025, the murder rate went down 18.1%, while violent crime fell by over 9%. One survey of crime that is widely cited is the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) carried...

Kenvue (NYSE : KVUE) broke its silence Thursday following the death of Hayden Panettiere and mounting backlash over their Neutrogena skincare brand's alleged treatment of the actress, acknowledging that it made her "feel unsupported during a very difficult time." Miss Panettiere, known for her roles in "Nashville" and "Remember the Titans," died Sunday at 36 after she was found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina.

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has warned that the phenomenon of illegal weapons in Israel goes far beyond the criminal sphere and poses a security threat. Speaking at a lecture on Thursday night, Bennett said that more than half a million illegal weapons are held by civilians, describing the situation as "a security threat of the highest order." Bennett claimed that illegal weapons are being transferred to terrorists in Judea and Samaria and to organized crime families in Israel. "This is an extremely dangerous ticking time bomb," he stressed. According to Bennett, "A security threat should and may be dealt...

An Alabama jury on Thursday awarded $9.25 million in damages after finding that The New York Times defamed a college basketball player by incorrectly reporting that he was at the scene of a fatal shooting in Tuscaloosa. Kai Spears, who played for the University of Alabama men's team, sued the Times in 2023 after it published a report, citing a person familiar with the investigation, that indicated he was a passenger in a car involved in the shooting. The Times reported that the person had spoken "on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters." Days later, the Times acknowledged...

Reading about Eric Swalwell’s latest encounter with the FBI, it occurred to me that we’ve been seeing a lot of this kind of thing lately – namely, notable figures of the left getting some kind of well-earned comeuppance. And that, playmates, is no illusion. Over just the past week or two, we have: - Eric Swalwell was waylaid by the FBI twice last weekend, the first time on Saturday at the San Francisco airport, when they seized his personal electronics, and the second time the next day when the Feds confiscated every other piece of electronic gear he owns at...

Abstract Introduction: The “simulation hypothesis” is a radical idea which posits that our reality is a computer simulation. We wish to assess how physically realistic this is, based on physical constraints from the link between information and energy, and based on known astrophysical constraints of the Universe. Methods: We investigate three cases: the simulation of the entire visible Universe, the simulation of Earth only, or a low-resolution simulation of Earth compatible with high-energy neutrino observations. Results: In all cases, the amounts of energy or power required by any version of the simulation hypothesis are entirely incompatible with physics or (literally)...
