Alright guys, I need some help. What the heck is Schumer trying to say here when asked why he didn't care about Epstein while Biden was in office? REPORTER: "Why wouldn't [the Epstein files] have been released the last four years when President Biden was in office?"CHUCK SCHUMER (MORON): "That's the question every American is asking... What the hell is he hiding!?"So true! pic.twitter.com/aA6jHXIe2k— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) November 17, 2025That's the question every American is asking ... What the hell is he hiding! Biden sitting at home, seeing Schumer accuse him of hiding the Epstein list: Did Schumer think...

Game developer Rebecca Heineman has died after being diagnosed with cancer last month. The news was shared to Bluesky by Heineman's friend, Heidi McDonald, while the most recent post on Heineman's GoFundMe is a goodbye message stating that her health was rapidly deteriorating, and she was entering palliative care. Heineman was 62, and the GoFundMe will remain live to help her family make final arrangements. Born in 1963, Heineman initially made a mark on the industry by winning a national Space Invaders tournament in 1980 in New York, becoming the first formally recognized US champion of any videogame. She went...

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine is calling on the FBI and Secret Service to finally produce the full truth about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt against President Donald Trump — an attack she says federal authorities have mishandled from the beginning. In a column Monday, Devine wrote that Americans are still waiting for a coherent explanation of how 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb onto a rooftop overlooking Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally and fire eight rounds from an AR-15-style rifle, grazing Trump's ear and killing firefighter Corey Comperatore. "We are all owed a better explanation,"...

Her story, once dressed as a crusade against elite corruption, has revealed itself as the ascent of a self-serving charlatan whose loyalties shifted the moment her ambitions stalled. What followed was not principled dissent. It was a strategic rebellion from someone who realized that Trump’s second term would not revolve around her. One truth stands out: this rift was inevitable. Trump’s disavowal does not fracture populism; it fortifies it. Movements rooted in loyalty, discipline, and authentic concern for working people cannot depend on performers who mistake attention for integrity.

Stephen Miller just shared a shocking statistic. Forty percent of rent controlled housing in New York City occupied by migrants. That affordable housing could be held by American citizens who desperately need a hand up, but too bad. https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1990586187745276040? 40 sec How about helping Americans support their families? ...more

Daily Readings from the USCCBAt that time Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. Luke 19:1–3Once again, our Lord reaches out to someone who comes to Him in humility and need. Zaccheaus was a wealthy...

A woman broke down in tears during a Thursday school board meeting in Royal Oak, Michigan, where multiple left-wing speakers demanded that a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter be shut down. Officials at Royal Oak High School approved the chapter on Oct. 21, according to Fox News, prompting protests from left-wing students and groups, including a walkout. During the meeting, the woman claimed that the conservative-leaning student group would promote “radicalization” of students. “I’m a lifelong Royal Oak resident, a supporter of the Royal Oak community, as well as an advocate for young people. I too came to speak about...

"I'm not controversial, so I like it that way." — President Donald Trump. Isn’t it obvious what’s at the heart of this Jeffrey Epstein psychodrama? The country is sick unto near-death with official secrecy, cover-ups, black ops, stonewalling, and never-ending games of political hide-the-salami — especially when those salamis are directed up the Republic’s own rear end. The worst victim of sexual abuse is America herself. Can’t somebody please make it stop? And so, over the weekend, psychodrama devolved to soap opera as President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene acted-out their lovers’ quarrel on every public channel of news...

Jeffrey Epstein's mansion was like "Eyes Wide Shut with a twist" during a dinner with Prince Andrew, according to Katie Couric's memoir. The Duke of York told the BBC he stayed with the New York financier, who was at the time a convicted pedophile, in order to break off the friendship honorably in 2010. Queen Elizabeth II's son was dismissive of suggestions a party was thrown in his honor and said: "I went there with the sole purpose of saying to him that because he had been convicted, it was inappropriate for us to be seen together." However, Katie Couric...

A former Donald Trump voter who is running for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Alabama said he wants to neutralize one of the Republicans’ favorite talking points with a blunt response. Kyle Sweetser of Mobile said the GOP is obsessed with trying to define Democrats as advocates for transgender athletes participating in women’s sports.

Gunmen armed with “sophisticated weapons” raided a Nigerian boarding school Monday, killing at least one staffer and abducting 25 schoolgirls after a firefight with guards. Police said the attackers stormed Maga boarding school around 4 a.m., trading fire with guards before fleeing with the students. Authorities have launched a coordinated search operation, scanning suspected escape routes and surrounding forests to recover the girls and apprehend the perpetrators, a police spokesperson told ABC News. A relative of one of the girls told ABC they fear two people may have been killed in the attack. “We were told that the attackers entered...

Dearborn, Michigan, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud responded to noise complaints about a mosque's call to prayer, saying it's "not an issue." Hammoud discussed the concern on the Nov. 3 episode of the "Not From Here" podcast. Local Dearborn citizens have complained in recent months that a nearby mosque has been broadcasting the call to prayer on loudspeakers multiple times a day, beginning as early as 5:30 a.m. Though residents raised concerns during a September city council meeting, Hammoud insisted that the call to prayer under a certain decibel level is allowed under city ordinances and has been part of Dearborn life...

The Weaponisation of ScienceYesterday, I took part in a panel discussion in Washington, D.C., on the weaponisation of science — specifically, how conflicts of interest, industry influence, and scientific deception have reshaped modern medicine.It was an important conversation about how the scientific process has been hollowed out by financial incentives, regulatory capture, and institutional cowardice.For me, this is not an abstract debate. I’ve spent much of my career investigating how science becomes distorted — not by a few rogue actors, but through an entire system built on commercial dependence.Once you start pulling the threads of how evidence is produced, who...

Before the global warming catastrophists held sway in our politics and in the media, we were warned that another ice age was in our near future. But that prediction was overwhelmed by fearmongers who have been telling us for decades that we’re burning our world with greenhouse gas emissions. Now we’re hearing again that the big freeze is coming. What do we do with this new information? Best just to ignore it, since predicting the future climate based on human activity is a narcissistic folly. In 1970, University of California, Davis ecologist Kenneth Watt pulled the alarm handle. Our planet,...

In the last few minutes Cloudflare has confirmed it is aware of a major issue affecting its Global Network, which is causing widespread internet outages ranging from platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to ChatGPT, and, ironically, Downdetector. A wave of other websites and services are also experiencing outages.

Epstein slop has now apparently reached the outermost limits of absurdity with Monday's New Yorker entirely incapable finding anything actually incriminating about President Donald Trump in the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents. So what to do? What to do? Well, New Yorker editor Jessica Winter seems to have drawn the short stick to "earn" this assignment and completely embarrassed herself with a theory about "negative space" in "The Darkest Thread in the Epstein E-mails."The subtitle reflects the fact that Winter found absolutely no there there since the worst allegation tossed Trump's way is something called "negative space": Donald...

Fly-tippers have dumped a "grotesque" mountain of waste in a field in Oxfordshire. The "environmental catastrophe unfolding in plain sight" is up to 150m (490ft) long and 6m (20ft) high and has appeared on a site between the River Cherwell and the A34 near Kidlington. Calum Miller, Liberal Democrat MP for Bicester and Woodstock, has raised the issue in Parliament, saying it was "threatening an environmental disaster". He also said Cherwell District Council had estimated the cost of removing the waste would be greater than its entire annual budget. "This is not a licensed waste site and we can just...
