Dozens of vehicles struggled through a 'muddy mess' of a road on Sunday after they followed directions from Google Maps that offered a short cut to the Denver International Airport. Connie Monsees, a Highlands Ranch native, used her Google maps app to divert around a traffic jam on Pena Boulevard on Sunday. She soon wound up on the muddy off-road. 'It eventually took me to a road that...became dirt,' Monsees explained on an ABC News podcast. 'I was not the only one, there was probably a hundred cars out there.'

Hundreds of African and Haitian migrants rioted on Tuesday and tried to escape from a temporary immigration shelter in southern Mexico. Guards and police officers at the facility, the largest migrant center in Mexico, stopped the inmates as they attempted to flee. This was the third migrant uprising in a month at the Feria Mesoamericana shelter, which is located in Tapachula, a city in the state of Chiapas. Trouble ignited when migrants requested food, medical attention and help with their processing that would allow the to leave the facility.

It's set to be the most controversial season in the reality show's five-year history, with 16 sexually fluid contestants hoping to find their perfect match. And while season eight of MTV's dating show Are You The One? will make reality show history in the United States when it airs on Wednesday, DailyMail.com can now reveal the show almost didn't make its premiere date. This new mix, with the potential for contestants to hook-up with anyone - not just the opposite sex - means there's a lot more action than previous seasons and it's racier than ever.

The gay pride parade is set to take place in Haifa on Friday, while a day earlier, another march will take place, the "Family March." According to the organizers of the event, the march is an initiative by both religious and secular citizens who wish to stress the importance of the traditional family values. "We received massive support from everyone," said one of the event organizers. "Religious, secular, new olim and old citizens alike all supported us. A citizen who made aliyah from Russia translated the pamphlet to Russian and distributed it among his friends, the support was tremendous." Meanwhile,...

RUSH: So the Democrats think they’ve got their silver bullet now. They think they’ve got it, this photo, I’m sure you have seen it, of a man and daughter face down in the river. “The bodies of Salvadoran migrant Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his nearly 2-year-old daughter Valeria lie on the bank of the Rio Grande in Matamoros, Mexico, Monday.” The Democrats are flashing this picture all over everywhere. The Drive-By Media is flashing this picture all over everywhere. This is the starving kids of 1995. This is the Republicans hate children. This is the Republicans starve children. This...

When will Shep Smith and other leftist media start blubbering over disturbing images of American citizens raped and murdered by illegal aliens protected by sanctuary cities?

The last leg of the trip back from Australia to Yuma, Arizona, U.S.A. was from Phoenix to Yuma. The departure time of the flight was 3:10, making the flight the 3:10 to Yuma, a reference to the movie of that name. My flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix was  a few minutes behind schedule. The flight to Yuma had been changed to the A Concourse, but I knew the drill. Hot foot it from the B Concourse at the Phoenix Airport to the A Concourse. It was several minutes at a fast walk. I made it before the 3:10...

Organizers of what they've dubbed a "Straight Pride" parade say they will be receiving a license from the city of Boston to hold the event on August 31. Organizers held a press conference on Wednesday outside of City Hall after their public event application was approved. The parade is being put together by a group calling itself "Super Happy Fun America." John Hugo said he has been told the group will be able to hold the event on August 31. ...

When former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, 77, show up Thursday in Miami at the Democratic debates, there will be much public discussion about the fact that that any of them — as well as President Trump — would be the oldest president in U.S. history. But in other parts of the world, their ages would hardly be an issue. In Asia, Africa and Latin America, there is a long history of presidents in their late 70s, 80s and even 90s. I interviewed many of them in Latin America while they were in office. While some...

RUSH: Anyway, the Democrats are all excited about that. They’re all excited about the picture. They’re all excited about Democrat debates beginning tonight! They’re all excited about the ongoing prospect of getting rid of Donald Trump before the 2020 election and, failing that, they want to get rid of Trump at the 2020 election. I got a flash message last night from one of the staff here. Here it is. “I worry about the status of literacy in our country. I worry about the status of overall education.” What I have here is a photo. And I don’t need to...

Full Title Bernie Sanders: 'We Must Pay Off Student Debt To Stay True To Our Liberal Values Of Not Taking Personal Responsibility For Anything' WASHINGTON, D.C.—Bernie Sanders announced he would pay off all $1.6 trillion in student debt if elected president "so that we can stay true to our liberal values of not taking personal responsibility for anything." "What kind of nation do we want to be?" he asked a crowd gathered around him as he exited a local Denny's restaurant. "Do we want to be a nation that asks people to work hard and take responsibility for themselves?" The...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s president has accused the US government of creating “a toxic atmosphere” for academics of Chinese descent in its efforts to prevent Beijing from acquiring advanced American technology. “I am well aware of the risks of academic espionage and MIT has established prudent policies to protect against such breaches,” L. Rafael Reif said in a letter to the school’s faculty, students, staff and alumni. “But we must take great care not to create a toxic atmosphere of unfounded suspicion and fear. Looking at cases across the nation, small numbers of researchers of Chinese background may indeed have...

RUSH: Mueller is testifying. Mueller has responded to the subpoenas. He’s gonna testify before Nadler’s committee. He’s gonna testify before Pencil Neck’s committee. Let me ask you a question. Nadler’s committee, has it done anything but been one gaffe after another? Jerry Nadler can’t run a committee hearing. He doesn’t know how to keep order. He doesn’t know how to keep his own party, his own side in control. This thing is gonna be a cluster you-know-what. But let me tell you something. The Democrats are not thinking about this. The Republicans are gonna get a chance to ask Mueller...

Rep. Adam Schiff joined MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Wednesday to discuss breaking news that Robert Mueller has agreed to testify before Congress in July. (snip) MITCHELL: Congressman, is he going to go beyond the four corners of his report? SCHIFF: Well that is certainly what we're going to ask of him. We're going to be asking questions. He has to go to what's in the report, but we're going to be asking questions that are outside the report. The attorney general has made it clear that he feels completely free to discuss matters not in the report. In fact, the attorney...

CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday interviewed E. Jean Carroll, a woman who alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990’s. Bergdorf Goodman is a very high-end department store packed with attentive salespeople and security which makes Carroll’s claims even more preposterous. * * * And it appears she is also a plagiarist.

RUSH: I want to show you something. You know, the Democrat debates begin tonight. Did you see Trump stole my line, that he doesn’t want to watch these debates but now he has to? You haven’t heard that? We’ve got it coming up in the audio. I’m not accusing the president of theft. That’s not the thing. A good line’s a good line. The truth is truth. I don’t want to watch this garbage, either, but I have to. And he was asked if he was gonna watch. (paraphrasing) “Well, I don’t want to watch it. It’s the last thing...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Last week, we talked about the fact that the Democrat Party leaders don’t do anything by chance. The contention by the DNC that the lineup for the two debate panels tonight and tomorrow night were determined by drawing names out of a hat at random is transparently absurd. The thought that this party, which does everything it does and says everything its people say based on polling and focus groups would leave such a crucial part of its campaign to oust Donald Trump to chance is laughable. As we pointed...

With half of the nation’s Border Patrol workforce reassigned to provide humanitarian support for "vulnerable populations," a record number of illegal immigrants have slipped into the United States and "disappeared into border communities," the agency’s chief told Congress. The overwhelmed frontline Homeland Security agency has managed to apprehend a record 593,000 illegal aliens this year, but an additional 100,000 have made it through and remain somewhere in the country.

No Monsters under our beds, just monsters taking our beds Don’t know whether the Info Wars photo of the $600 watch allegedly worn by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is for real, but if it is, it would be the only “real” thing about her. In the tsunami of of things said and written about the now omnipresent AOC, most people don’t know, or have already forgotten, that the Voice of the Green New Deal is not a real member of the House of Representatives, she is the hands-down winner of a 10,000-member casting call, arranged by Socialist Bernie...

A new government report has given us a glimpse into our nation’s fiscal future, and the outlook is grim. Absent major reforms, America’s debt will only continue to balloon. The Congressional Budget Office released its updated long-term budget report on Tuesday, which projects the nation’s fiscal situation for the next 30 years. Despite the strong economy, the nation remains in a precarious and unsustainable budget position, just as it was last year. Debt held by the public is set to rise to nearly one and a half times the size of the economy in the coming decades. The report also...
