@TuckerCarlson The FBI told us Thomas Crooks tried to kill Donald Trump last summer but somehow had no online footprint. The FBI lied, and we can prove it because we have his posts. The question is why? Story tomorrow.

The band’s 1993 Modern Rock chart-topper has surpassed one billion plays on the streaming platform.“Heart-Shaped Box” was one of Nirvana’s biggest hits in their heyday, and decades later it continues to be one of the band’s most popular songs. The 1993 single just joined the Spotify Billions Club by surpassing one billion streams on the platform. It’s Nirvana’s third track to cross that threshold following “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Come As You Are.” Upon its release in 1993, “Heart-Shaped Box” was the lead single from Nirvana’s third album, In Utero. The album was the follow-up to the trio’s game-changing...

In late 1965, the irresistible single became the Godfather’s second big crossover hit in a row.By late 1965, James Brown was nearly ten years into his R&B chart career in the US. But as far as the majority of the pop audience was concerned, he had only been on the radar for a few months. On November 13 that year, he hit the Billboard Hot 100 with the song that would become his second big crossover single in a row, “I Got You (I Feel Good).” Brown was now reaping the rewards from his stunning performance on the T.A.M.I....

A new study finds cost of living, safety, and health care are driving factors behind the growing interest in international relocation. Becoming an expat is a big decision, and the list of where to relocate to can be very long. But turns out, the country Americans are drawn to the most isn't that far after all. Canada was the top country Americans targeted when hoping to move abroad, according to a new study from moveBuddha, which serves as an online resource for moving and storage services. In fact, 24.4 percent of the survey’s respondents picked the neighbor to the north....

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has picked former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan to serve as co-chair of his transition team…Khan — a 36-year-old Democrat who bought major cases against Meta and Amazon while running the FTC from 2021 to 2025 — surprised some onlookers on Wednesday as she appeared alongside Mamdani at his first post-election press conference. During her time at the FTC, Khan waged an unsuccessful fight to stop Microsoft’s acquisition of video game giant Activision-Blizzard; blocked an attempted merger between grocery giants Kroger and Albertsons and enacted a ban on non-compete agreements when workers switch jobs, which was...

"If a Politician's Mouth is Moving, it is lying" Except for One in My Lifetime. And one key topic defined this for me long ago.Starting in 1972, I started noticing both Parties were promising to deal with our porous U.S. borders. Every year they would promise and ask for my vote. Since nothing got done on this issue, and it only got worse, them kicking the can down the road, you can guess how much I gave to either one.However, One did catch my attention recently when the border hoppers went briefly to Zero. Along with getting rid of the...

https://babylonbee.com/news/tucker-carlson-builds-time-machine-to-kill-baby-churchillWOODSTOCK, ME — On a mission to set right the great wrongs perpetrated upon the world during World War II, controversial media personality Tucker Carlson announced that he had built a time machine to go back to the past and kill baby Winston Churchill. Seeking a means by which he could eliminate the greatest villain of the first half of the 20th century — Churchill — and thereby prevent the astronomical bloodshed and destruction caused by the war, Carlson reportedly sank tens of millions of dollars into the research, development, and construction of the time machine. "It's time to snip...

In a bizarre and baseless outburst, New Mexico Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury is accusing the White House of “covering up” President Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein — even though no credible evidence has ever linked Trump to Epstein’s criminal acts, and years of investigations under Democrat-led agencies have produced nothing to the contrary. Appearing on TMZ Live on Wednesday, Stansbury claimed a newly released batch of Epstein-related emails proved “the White House is trying to cover up Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.” She pointed to one message, allegedly sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, ... From that vague and...

Colorectal cancer is striking younger adults at alarming rates, driven by lifestyle and genetic factors. Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the colon or rectum, forming tumors that can eventually invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. It typically begins as small, benign growths called polyps, which can take years to become cancerous. Globally, CRC ranks among the top three most common cancers, affecting millions of people each year. Traditionally viewed as a condition that primarily affects older adults, it is now emerging in far younger populations, raising growing concern among doctors...

Explanation: Few cosmic vistas can excite the imagination like The Great Nebula in Orion. Visible as a faint, bland celestial smudge to the naked-eye, the nearest large star-forming region sprawls across this sharp colorful telescopic image. Designated M42 in the Messier Catalog, the Orion Nebula's glowing gas and dust surrounds hot, young stars. About 40 light-years across, M42 is at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away that lies within the same spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy as the Sun. Including dusty bluish reflection nebula NGC 1977, also known as the Running Man...

A tearful Sharon Osbourne recalled the touching moment President Trump called her to offer his condolences after the death of her Black Sabbath frontman husband over the summer. Osbourne played Trump’s heartfelt voicemail and expressed her admiration for the president and First Lady Melania during Wednesday’s emotional episode of “The Osbournes” podcast, where she reunited with her children, Kelly and Jack, for the first time since Ozzy’s death at age 76 in July. “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail,” Jack, 40, said to his grieving mom. The 72-year-old former TV host, while...

Fool's Ball, Week Eleven Your home for all things Fool's Ball! In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

In the latest twist from the trove of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails released by House Democrats, a 2016 message from the convicted pedophile to disgraced author Michael Wolff appears to allege that Hillary Clinton had a sexual affair with former White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster. The exchange began with Wolff asking Epstein for a “thumb nail” summary on “Nussbaum/foster,” prompting Epstein’s response implying an illicit affair between Hillary and Foster. The email, dated May 25, 2016, cryptically states: “nussbaum white house counsel. . hillary doing naughties with vince.” This appears to reference Bernard Nussbaum, White House Counsel under President Bill...

Public records show that the late queen’s second son received official payments from the public purse as a working royal between 1978 and 2010. In 2011, David Cameron, while prime minister, decided to change the way the monarchy was funded by taxpayers. As part of this change, Cameron, a self-described “passionate monarchist”, deliberately prevented the regular publication of how much public money Andrew and the other Windsors received. The last published figure for how much public money Andrew received is £249,000 a year in 2010. After that, the queen made direct payments to him from her own private wealth while...

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host bemoaned the release of new emails from Jeffrey Epstein to associate Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff, which claim that Donald Trump knew about Epstein’s conduct — including “about the girls.” The emails were released Wednesday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. Kelly said Democrats will “make a ton of hay” over the new leaks. “Why didn’t Trump just release these? Just release them,” Kelly said. “Now he’s in a position of being, like, singled out as the only one, allegedly, as opposed to one of a slew of...

In an emotional new podcast episode of the family’s show, The Osbournes, Sharon played a recording of a voicemail left for her by President Donald Trump in the wake of the Black Sabbath singer’s death. “Hi, Sharon. It's Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you the best and the family,” the president said in the message. “Ozzy was amazing. He was an amazing guy. I met him a few times and I wanna tell you he was unique in every way and talented. So I just wanted to wish you the best and it’s a tough thing, I...

US egg prices October 2025 have collapsed at a record pace. According to the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), wholesale egg prices have dropped 86% since March, falling from about $8.20 per dozen to just $1.15 per dozen this month.

The internal conflict over the future of the MAGA movement is described as a generational divide: On one side are the boomers, the Republican Party’s old guard that attached itself to Donald Trump’s winning agenda, and on the other side are the Zoomers, the rising generation of conservatives angry that, in their view, the president has betrayed his own movement. The split is anything but organic. Rather, it’s the intended result of a campaign waged by a revisionist faction determined to seize control of MAGA, and the Republican Party, by erasing Trump. The fight has been simmering on social media...

Have you heard how young people suffer now? Scroll TikTok, Instagram, etc., you see the same message: “Young people today can’t get ahead!” One popular meme says when baby boomers like me were young, “A family could own a home, a car and send their kids to college, all on one income.” “That’s a fantasy,” says economist Norbert Michel. “We are much better off than we were.” My new video takes the meme’s claims one by one, starting with “a family could own a home.” On social media, many young people say things like, “Most people don’t live in houses...

Tarlton takes his place in theatrical history as creator of the stage yokel; his performance in this role is thought to have influenced Shakespeare's creation of the character Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Tarlton himself is said to have been the model for the court jester Yorick described in Hamlet. Tarlton's popularity and genius were undisputed. Thomas Nashe wrote that audiences began "exceedingly to laugh when he first peept out his head"; Edmund Spenser mourned him as "our pleasant Willy . . . with whom all joy and jolly merriment/Is also deaded"; and in 1643 Sir Richard Baker...
