    An exclusive beach club in the Bahamas descended into chaos after a group of bikini-clad women were seen throwing punches. Around a dozen people were involved in the brawl, which appeared to take place at the sun-soaked Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island, according to footage posted online.
  • REFORM UK: Government contractor Serco a "threat to national security"

    Reform UK ^ | June 15 | ZiaYusufUK
    @ZiaYusufUK Serco - the government contractor that runs large parts of Britian's immigration and justice operation - has taken the extraordinary position of saying it would oppose Reform's plan to deport illegal migrants from Britain. Having read the Telegraph's report making this claim, I have written to Serco's CEO asking him to urgently clarify their position. Serco is the firm the Home Office uses to deposit unvetted men from Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq into British housing estates without the knowledge nor consent of local residents. Serco is the firm that launches huge bids for rental homes, outbidding local residents...
  • Drinking the Court-Packing Kool-Aid: Buttigieg Joins the Calls to Take Over the Supreme Court

    Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg apparently got the message this week that he cannot hope to win the Democratic nomination without promising radical measures, including the packing of the Supreme Court. After denouncing the current Court as “rogue” for not ruling as the left has demanded, Buttigieg endorsed the plan of Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren to pack the Court to reverse adverse constitutional interpretations. For years, the Supreme Court had a liberal majority that overturned dozens of long-standing cases. That was not viewed as the work of a rogue court. Yet, even as President Donald Trump attacks this Court...

    Ukraine’s historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery set on fire following major Russian attack By Victoria Butenko Kyiv — A prominent Ukrainian monastery complex in the heart of Kyiv was set on fire following a massive Russian attack overnight into Monday that killed at least five people and wounded more than two dozen in the capital, according to local authorities. Images showed flames billowing from the UNESCO-listed Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, which traces its roots back almost 1,000 years, and firefighters beneath the towers and domes of its Dormition Cathedral battling to control the blaze. A CNN journalist reported hearing several explosions...

    The old saying is a lie goes around the world before the truth gets its boots on. When we're discussing the Islamic Republic of Iran regime, or what's left of it, they certainly do not need a head start. They lie like you and I breathe. As with any good rollercoaster, this past weekend provided more unexpected twists and turns. And even though Donald Trump claims we're headed back to the station with a deal, it's hard to see it around the blind corner in front of us. George W. Bush's Secretary of Defense, the Late Donald Rumsfeld, used to...

  • Tommy Robinson has just walked out of court with a victory that is already being called one of the most explosive free-speech moments in Britain.

    Tommy Robinson has just walked out of court with a victory that is already being called one of the most explosive free-speech moments in Britain. The terrorism-related case against him — linked to his refusal to hand over his phone PIN to UK police — was thrown out after the judge ruled the stop unlawful and reportedly said Robinson had been targeted because of his political views. This was not just about a phone. This was about power, politics, journalism, and whether the state can treat someone like a national security threat simply because it dislikes what they say. Robinson...
  • There Are No Budget Constraints In New York City: "Coastal Resiliency" Edition

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 14 Jun, 2026 | Francis Menton
    I often make fun of the federal government as operating with what it thinks is an “infinite credit card,” outside and beyond any budget restraints. And thus all problems, real or imaginary, can be solved by dispensing some of the infinite federal loot. In its partial defense, the federal government does have the ability to print money, although that ability too eventually runs into limits. And then we have New York City. The City has no ability to print money, but nevertheless operates as if there are no constraints on spending. The sky is the limit! Recently I wrote about...

    Anthropic pulled access to its newly released AI models Mythos 5 and Fable 5 over the weekend after the US government imposed sweeping restrictions on who could use them. The AI lab said in a statement that the federal government told it Friday afternoon that it had become aware of a way of "jailbreaking" Fable 5, bypassing limits that Anthropic had implemented to reduce the risk the model could be misused. When Anthropic first announced Mythos, it released the software only to a select group of government agencies and technology professionals because of its ability to uncover cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The...

    It took longer than many expected but 31 races into his Ferrari career, Lewis Hamilton has finally tasted victory champagne after a superb win under hot skies at the MSC Cruises Grand Prix of Barcelona, Catalonia. The seven-time world champion delivered a composed drive, aided by a strong Ferrari strategy, to beat George Russell by 19.4 seconds and claim his first win in red, while also delivering Ferrari its first victory since 2024. Having opted for an alternate tyre strategy at the start, Hamilton was the only one of the front-runners to commit to a three-stop race, with a well-timed...

    After 13,000 American air strikes killing almost 3,500 Iranians, Donald Trump's war has ended not with the triumphant downfall of Iran's regime but a quick and partial deal with the very leadership he once vowed to destroy.The outcome has to be compared with Mr Trump's extravagant promises when he launched the onslaught. "To the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand," he declared on Feb 28. "When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations."That "only...

    Britain will ban children under 16 from using a range of social media apps including Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube to protect young people from harmful content and excessive screen time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday, Starmer told a news conference that he will fight back if technology companies resist the move, and acknowledged some teens would try to find their way around a ban. But he said he is "not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children." "Every parent can see it with their own eyes. Social media is making children unhappy," said Starmer, who...

  • Joe Biden and Xavier Becerra winked at massive child-trafficking

    NY Post ^ | June 14, 2026 | Post Editorial Board
    Lefties and their media minions painted President Joe Biden’s border opening as humane and just, but it brought the largest child-trafficking operation in history. A quarter-million unaccompanied children, waved into the interior, simply disappeared because the Bidenites made no real provision for keeping track of them — with Xavier Becerra, now running to become California’s next governor, one of the chief culprits. US law requires the feds to carefully supervise and track unaccompanied minors they let enter the country, passing them only to vetted sponsors, ideally family or former neighbors, who agree to take good care of the kids, enroll...

    Terrified students are fleeing Belfast after homes were named on a rioters' 'hit list' in the wake of an alleged knife attack by a Sudanese migrant that sparked days of unrest across the city. Young people have been packing their bags and abandoning rented accommodation amid fears properties could be targeted in a wave of violence that has seen homes, businesses and vehicles set on fire. Some streets in south Belfast's student district have been left almost deserted as undergraduates head home, while others have sought refuge with friends after addresses circulated online. The exodus follows several nights of disorder...

    Hundreds of Stanford graduates staged a dramatic walkout during a commencement ceremony on Sunday as Google CEO Sundar Pichai took to the stage. The massive protest turned what should have been a celebration of academic achievement into the latest flashpoint in the ongoing battle over Big Tech's ties to Israel. As Pichai rose to deliver the keynote address at one of the nation's most prestigious universities, groups of students stood up and streamed out of the ceremony in protest. Some waved Palestinian flags, blew whistles and unfurled banners condemning Google's relationship with the Israeli government. The demonstration marked the latest...

    The Democrats’ disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy’s inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and...

    Two Detroit sisters, including one who was nine months pregnant at the time, are accused of stabbing a worker at a Detroit chicken restaurant during a wrong-order dispute, with prosecutors alleging one sister stabbed the employee and that the women attempted to throw hot grease, pans and other items at her. Brianna and Kierianna Long now face several charges in connection with the May 30 incident, including assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, according to local reports. Both women have pleaded not guilty. The...
