The last-captured video footage of the former VP shows Harris leaping from roof to roof in downtown LA, hotly pursued by a crowd of ninjas, men in suits wearing sunglasses, and other assailants from every corner of the world. "It's very sad to see what's happening now that she lost her Secret Service protection, but she's doing all right for herself," said Grayson Casey, the intelligence operative who was the last to see Harris...

As students file back into classrooms and march onto athletic fields this fall, K-12 schools in blue states across the nation continue to violate President Donald Trump’s executive orders halting the dangerous trans agenda in schools. If anyone in America still doubts how insidious this reality-denying movement is, they should look to Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis where trans-identified male gunman Robin (formerly Robert) Westman mowed down innocent schoolchildren in a hail of bullets on Wednesday, killing two (ages 8 and 10) and injuring 17 others before cowardly taking his own life. Nor is Westman the first transgender criminal...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trumpeted on social media how she successfully pushed to have dozens of new trash cans placed on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. Problem is, she ignored the real trash. She was immediately mocked for ignoring the parade of johns, pimps and prostitutes flooding the avenue’s infamous “Market of Sweethearts.” “Celebrating garbage cans is like putting sprinkles on s--- and calling it a birthday cake,” lambasted Elmhurst’s Ramses Frias, who’s running as a Republican candidate for City Council in Queens’ 25th District. “It’s all for show.” “Of course, AOC won’t speak about what’s really happening here so she can...

A top chief executive has been accused of snatching a child tennis fan's hat at the US Open - with his firm now facing negative online reviews. Viral video footage revealed the moments after Polish player Kamil Majchrzak went to the crowd after the biggest win of his career. The 29-year-old defeated ninth seed Karen Khachanov in a marathon five-set thriller on Thursday - and then was filmed removing his cap and trying to hand it to a child in the crowd on Court 11. But in ugly scenes, a man standing next to the boy reached out, grabbed the...

A teenage girl and her boyfriend had their lives turned upside down when they became victims of a horrific cyberbullying attack, but things only got worse when they discovered the perpetrator. Lauryn Licari and her former boyfriend, Owen McKenny, were 13-year-old high school students in Beal City, Michigan, when they became the targets of vitriolic harassment from an anonymous number in October 2020. The pair first met in seventh grade, when Lauryn was 12. Thanks to their shared interests in sports, among other things, they hit it off. Their families supported the relationship, and Lauryn's mother, Kendra Licari, became close...

Following the shooting incident by a trans man in a church in Minneapolis, many people are trying to ignore that the shooter was trans. But he wanted to make clear that those who read his manifesto would know that he regretted his decision to transition:He wrote that he only kept his long hair because it would be an ‘embarrassing defeat’ to cut it, according to a translation by the New York Post. ‘I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed...

WASHINGTON — Online rumors of President Trump’s demise were greatly exaggerated — much to the dismay of creepy leftist critics. The president took a brief hiatus from public appearances this week, sparking morbid theories and social media posts speculating he had died. But the haters had their hopes dashed Saturday morning when Trump appeared alive and well at the White House. Trump was photographed in a white polo, black pants and his signature red MAGA hat about 8:45 a.m. , appearing alongside his granddaughter, Kai Trump, as they loaded up in a vehicle headed for his golf club in Sterling,...

The software company founded by billionaire Peter Thiel has enabled his buddy, President Donald Trump, to conduct hardcore AI lawfare beyond its previous bounds. Those bounds appear to now include the Federal Reserve Board after Trump told its Governor Lisa Cook she was fired earlier this week. The hit was achieved with - snip - Bill Pulte, who seized a chance to make a mark for himself when President Trump appointed him to the usually low-profile position of director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Pulte took his first big step toward becoming his own man back in May,...

An angry mob set fire to a local parliament building in an Indonesian provincial capital, leaving at least three people dead and five others hospitalized, officials said. The blaze in Makassar, the capital city of South Sulawesi province, began late Friday. Television reports showed the provincial council building ablaze overnight, causing the area to turn an eerie orange color. Rescuers retrieved three bodies by Saturday morning, while five people were hospitalized with burns or with broken bones after jumping from the building, said Fadli Tahar, a local disaster official. Protesters in West Java's Bandung city also set a regional parliament...

You’ve heard the problems. A $2 million interceptor to shoot down a $2,000 drone. U.S. anti-ship missiles expected to run out on day eight of any war over Taiwan. If Ukraine teaches anything, it is that a stockpile of existing weapons is less important than a manufacturing base—the ability to produce lots more weapons fast, and to adapt them and innovate on the fly.

The mother of transgender Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman once appeared in a movie made by her daughter — who she gave up for adoption as a child, a report revealed. Mary Grace Westman, 67, starred in the short film “Mary Meets Grace,” written and directed by her biological daughter, Faryl Amadeus, 44, who was adopted as a child from Kentucky, the Daily Mail reported. Faryl Amadeus, 44, is the filmmaker daughter of Mary Grace Westman, the mother of transgender mass shooter Robin Westman.In 2005, Amadeus traveled to Minnesota to meet her ‘five half-siblings,’ which would include a then 3-year-old...

Taco Bell is rethinking its use of artificial intelligence (AI) to power drive-through restaurants in the US after comical videos of the tech making mistakes were viewed millions of times. In one clip, a customer seemingly crashed the system by ordering 18,000 water cups, while in another a person got increasingly angry as the AI repeatedly asked him to add more drinks to his order. Since 2023, the fast-food chain has introduced the technology at over 500 locations in the US, with the aim of reducing mistakes and speeding up orders. But the AI seems to have served up the...

Several postal services around the world have paused package deliveries to the United States this week, and it's not because they're overwhelmed with shipping demand. The suspensions, which affect shipments of goods valued under $800, follow a recent executive order that President Trump signed that effectively ends the de minimis exemption on August 29. The fallout has been swift and global. We're talking about major disruptions from Europe to Asia that might impact many American small businesses, limit where you can shop, and make it more complicated and expensive to receive the items you order. What countries have limited deliveries,...

For the first time since 1996, foreign central banks hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries as the world continues to de-dollarize. Crescat Capital macro strategist Tavi Costa highlighted the crossover moment in a post on X, saying it is “likely the beginning of the most significant global rebalancings we've experienced in recent history.” Central banks have been aggressively adding gold to their reserves over the last three years. Last year was the third-largest expansion of central bank gold reserves on record, coming in just 6.2 tonnes lower than in 2023 and 91 tonnes lower than the all-time high set in...

It started with a quiver deep down in the Martian crust weak, barely detectable, yet bearing 4.5-billion-year-old echoes. Those seismic waves, recorded by NASA's InSight lander from 2018 to 2022, have revealed a remarkable discovery: giant preserved fragments of Mars' primordial crust, trapped in the planet's mantle since the formation of the Solar System.The discovery emerged from the painstaking analysis of eight exceptionally clear marsquake events by a team led by Constantinos Charalambous of Imperial College London. Using the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), InSight recorded how primary (P) and secondary (S) waves traveled through the planet, reflecting and...

They deleted the 1776 Report (PDF) because it contained the antidote to their poison.Not predictions. Not warnings. Solutions. Forty-five pages that explain how American principles defeat progressive tyranny. Here's what they didn't want you to read. The Founding as Revolution Against Modern PoliticsThe report opens with dynamite: "The founding of the United States of America was a deliberate act of statesmanship. Our founders considered human nature, history, and politics in order to establish a government of a particular kind."Not evolution. Not accident. Deliberate architecture. The founders studied every government in history. They identified why republics fail. Then they built something...

...Democrats lost it on Thursday after Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. (RFK) announced that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun studying certain psychiatric medications following the latest trans-related mass shooting. Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” RFK was asked by host Brian Kilmeade if he intends to study whether the hormonal drugs used in so-called gender transitions are contributing to said shootings.... https://twitter.com/i/status/1961046886053281883 ...

The debate is not just about the power of prayer. In the United States — with both a large religious population and the most mass shootings in the world — it’s also a polarized debate about gun control. In other words, the episode set off rhetorical skirmishes along two of the biggest dividing lines in America’s cultural and political wars: God and guns. (That doesn’t even count the scrutiny over the motives and gender identity of the shooter, who died by suicide after the attack.) Frey tapped into the principle of “Tikkun Olam,” in his Jewish faith, which speaks about...

GROTON, Conn. (WFSB) - A former state police sergeant has been arrested following a confrontation in front of his home. On July 11, a Youtuber and his cameraman parked a digital billboard outside former state police sergeant Brian Fahey’s home in Groton. The billboard displayed a previous interaction the Youtuber, Sean Paul Reyes, had with Fahey in 2021 at the state police headquarters in Middletown.
