“The Odyssey” didn’t need a Trojan Horse to break into the top of Friday’s box office charts. Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” earned $51 million on Friday from 3,919 North American screens. Early estimates had the saga grossing $90 million to $100 million by Sunday, but after a stellar opening day, forecasts have the film climbing as high as $120 million. “The Odyssey” will soon become the third film in 2026 to open above $100 million after “Toy Story 5” ($159 million) and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” ($131 million). “The Odyssey” carries a hefty $250 million price tag. An $120...

Zachary Leeman. Jul 17th, 2026. Fox News’ Tomi Lahren slammed Vice President JD Vance’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast as a “huge misstep” and questioned whether he’s trying to distance himself from the president for a 2028 run. Lahren joined Fox Business’ Larry Kudlow on Friday where they both took issue with Vance...

As of around a decade ago, all Islamic terrorism in Europe was reclassified as mental illness. There’s been a lot of mental illness incidents lately, but that’s probably just due to stress, overwork and some black book we’re not allowed to mention. Here’s a few recent incidents of mental illness. See if you can out-Freud Sigmund and figure out the common thread.

In 2025, Rep. Maxine Dexter gave a speech comparing Israel’s campaign against Hamas terrorists to the Holocaust, falsely calling it “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide”. “After the Holocaust, the international community made a commitment that such evil can never happen again to any people, anywhere. Never again, they said. That is why I recently signed on to a resolution recognizing Israel’s actions in Gaza led by the Netanyahu government as a genocide,” Rep. Dexter said in her speech, backing Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s pro-terrorist resolution “Recognizing the Genocide of the Palestinian People in Gaza.” The director of the United States Holocaust Memorial...

The government of China denied any election interference in the United States on Thursday night, shortly after President Donald Trump delivered a speech in which he announced that his administration would declassify intelligence documents about the integrity of American elections. One of the major categories of documents being released, President Trump explained, was regarding the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to influence American elections in the past decade. The documents indicated that the American intelligence community had obtained evidence of China amassing a massive trove of voter data. They also compiled evidence that Beijing was especially opposed to President Trump’s reelection...

Mass immigration doesn’t stand alone. Instead, Western governments, including ours, have much grander plans for the end of nations. One of the greater mysteries of our century may be why governments across much of Europe, North America, and even Australia adopted remarkably similar immigration policies seemingly at the same time. It is difficult to believe this happened by chance. And unlike Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand, which explains how complex order can arise without central direction, mass migration appears less like an organic historical development than a remarkably coordinated political calculus. There are many explanations; some point to economics, others to...

@MarkLynchSC Rick Scott introduced a bill to END Social Security by 2028, leaving more than 75 million American seniors without the benefits they earned, and hurting everyone who has already paid into it. He calls it welfare. In the Senate, I will fight to protect your benefits from career politicians like Rick Scott and Ralph Norman.

There are some naked lies so offensive that profanity is valid response. Such is the case with Minnesota Governor and failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz claiming that illegal alien pedophile rapist Tou Lue Vang shouldn’t have been deported because people shouldn’t be judged on their “worst day.” I’m pretty sure lots of people can remember their worst days: They got in a car wreck, they got fired, they found out their wife has cancer, their dog died. Raping a ten year old girl doesn’t qualify. “Honey, I got fired, wrecked the car, and, oh yeah, raped a ten year...

On one hand, we are winning the war with Iran. This week, bombings greatly accelerated and are not likely to end without real capitulation and surrender. On the other hand, the Vice President seems to be at odds with the administration, unhappy that we are in a (winning) war and casting blame for the failure of his peace effort, which is really only Iran’s fault. On one hand, the President has declassified documents credibly showing foreign influence and interference with our elections. On the other hand, major news outlets seem determined to keep their viewers from knowing this. If viewers...

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) late Thursday called on Congress to impeach President Trump after the president claimed during a primetime address that forces that stole the 2020 presidential election are still at work and threaten the integrity of the 2026 midterm elections. Trump used words such as “rigged and stolen,” “corrupt” and “cover-up” and cited some recently declassified documents to support his alarming claims, though critics in both parties say he still failed to substantiate his central contention that U.S. elections are marred by widespread fraud. “Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections,” Markey...

A company where the husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., is a partner was selected for a nearly $2 billion deal to build a new courthouse in Springfield, Massachusetts — a decision now being challenged in court by rejected bidders who allege conflicts of interest tainted the process. Conan Harris, who has been married to the Massachusetts Democrat for more than a decade, is a partner with John Barros in CoJo Real Estate, which is part of the Liberty Junction team selected in early July for the 40-year courthouse lease, according to the lawsuit. The plaintiffs allege Barros’ role as...

Shades of those X videos of instant karma for the would-be bully! On Friday’s CNN This Morning, Group Chat member Luke Thomas, an MMA analyst with an imposing presence who doubles as a left-wing pundit, initially sounded ready for battle. After more than a hundred House Democrats voted to block billions in military aid to Israel, Sen. John Fetterman drew his red line, saying that he would leave the Democratic Party if it went officially anti-Israel. Thomas’s tough-guy response? “Good riddance. I’ll help him pack his bags.” Macho stuff, Luke! But Thomas's bravado didn’t last. Fellow panelist Elliot Williams, a...
