A New York City good Samaritan proved that chivalry isn’t dead after she discovered a wallet containing thousands of dollars in Times Square — and got it back to its rightful owner. The noble deed occurred Wednesday morning while Honduras native Eduardo Martinez was walking through the tourist-inundated area to get to work, NBC New York reported. During his commute, the man reportedly dropped his wallet, which contained $4,000 cash along with standard wallet items, near Broadway and 49th Street. Upon realizing what had transpired, the panicked man returned to the crowded area, whereupon he was approached by two police...

As war rages in Ukraine following the invasion by Russia, the realities on the ground are difficult to assess—it is estimated that thousands have been killed, including hundreds of civilians, and up to a million forced to flee their homes. Although Russian President Vladimir Putin is rightly deserving of blame, top U.S. officials over the past decade have played important roles in critical events that undermined U.S. relations with Russia and resulted in the destabilization of Ukraine. The deterioration in our relations with Russia, in many ways started with President George W. Bush in 2008 when he dangled before Ukraine...

Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin directed his military to move to heightened readiness to launch nuclear weapons because of "aggressive statements" by NATO countries. Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov boasted "our submarines can shoot more than 500 nuclear warheads. This would guarantee destruction of the USA, and all other NATO countries." In answer to a reporter's question "should Americans be worried about nuclear war?" President Biden responded with a firm "no. Look, surveys show that less than 25% of Americans can find Delaware on a map. We're counting on Putin doing even worse. As long as I stay...

In response to an unconfirmed (and probably totally bogus) report that Russia is laying explosives around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine in order to “blackmail the whole of Europe,” actress Patricia Arquette demanded that we “kick Russia out of NATO”:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia has no "ill intentions" towards Ukraine, hours after Russian forces had seized Europe's biggest nuclear power plant. Putin made the comment on the state-controlled Rossiya 24 news channel on Friday in which he called on neighboring countries "to think about how to normalize relations" more than a week after he ordered an invasion that has caused thousands of casualties and sparked a growing refugee crisis.

The far-left New York Times published a photo of Venus Williams in a story about her sister, Serena. In other words, the lily-white, left-wing New York Times, a propaganda outlet that lectures the rest of the world about racism, has a problem telling their black people apart. That was undoubtedly Serena’s thinking when she ripped into the rag. “No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it’s not enough,” the tennis legend tweeted Wednesday with a photo of the offending newsprint. “Because even I am overlooked. You can do better, @nytimes.”

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer is suing the owner of Deadspin, alleging the website defamed him as he faced accusations of sexual assault. Bauer announced the lawsuit on Twitter Thursday night and shared the court filing. In the 25-page complaint, Bauer's attorneys say a July 6 article about the sexual assault allegations falsely accuse him of fracturing the woman's skull -- part of what the lawsuit contends is part of a years-long "unrelenting attack" on the pitcher by Deadspin "with the purpose of humiliating him and ruining his baseball career." Last June, a San Diego woman told police that...

Astute businesswoman Suzanne Somers revealed in a new interview that her ThighMaster has earned her a massive chunk of change over the years. “Well, I grew up poor, and I live a good life,” the “Three’s Company” alum, 75, coyly told hosts Dax Holt and Adam Glyn on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast Wednesday. Somers then provided more exact figures, sharing, “It’s $19.95 x 10 million [products sold], so you kind of do the math, and we’re probably at 15 million now.”

NBC’s Chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander repeated White House talking points to his Republican guest during a MSNBC interview on Thursday. Alexander denied that the Keystone XL Pipeline would’ve had any impact on the United States’ dependence on foreign oil. Alexander was speaking with former chief of staff for former Vice President Mike Pence, Marc Short, when he started arguing with him over solutions to the U.S.' dependence on foreign energy, amid the Ukraine-Russia war. He asked Short if President Biden should put embargoes on Russian oil and gas exports, and Short said yes and blamed the Biden administration...

Without help from the global pandemic people may never have been convinced to inject themselves with an experimental mRNA gene therapy, a scientist bragged during a world health conference. Speaking at the opening of the World Health Summit 2021 last November, Bayer Pharmaceuticals Division President Stefan Oelrich admitted were it not for the pandemic, the experimental injection may have seen an extremely high rejection rate. “We are really taking that leap [to drive innovation] – us as a company, Bayer – in cell and gene therapies,” Oelrich stated. “Ultimately, the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene...

The Senate Commerce Committee advanced Gigi Sohn’s Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and Alvaro Bedoya’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) nominations, putting Democrats one step closer to being able to advance their leftist agenda, including censorship, at the agencies. The Committee tied, 14-14, on the two votes to advance Sohn and Bedoya out of committee. The FCC has been split at a 2-2 political tie between Republicans and Democrats, and Sohn’s confirmation would give Biden the FCC majority he needs to advance Democrat priorities. Since the committee tied on both nominees, the nominees will be referred to the Senate, but Senate Majority...

The most Googled slang word in the U.S. is ‘simp’, according to...

A George Soros-linked and Mark Zuckerberg-funded operative controlled the 2020 election in Green Bay using a secret Wi-Fi connection at a Wisconsin hotel, according to Emerald Robinson. Robinson analyzed the Wisconsin Special Counsel Mike Gableman’s recently-released investigative report on the Wisconsin Elections System and discovered that the name Michael Spitzer Rubenstein, a “grant mentor” associated with the George Soros-backed Center for Tech and Civic Life kept appearing. “One guy hidden at the Grand Hyatt Hotel controlled Green Bay’s election from his room?” Robinson wrote. “Why was a lawyer from Brooklyn in control of an election in Wisconsin?” The elections report...

California already has the highest Income Tax, Sales Tax, Gas Tax, Car Tax and Property Tax - but now California Democrat politicians want to impose another massive tax on savings, investments and assets of state residents

Stunning. That's the only word that can describe what happened today in West Virginia. Earlier this morning, the state House passed the Convention of States Resolution on an overwhelming -- and bipartisan! -- 77-19-4 vote. Then, less than one hour later, the state Senate passed the Resolution on a voice vote, making West Virginia the 18th state in history to pass the Convention of States Resolution! “Today we made history," said West Virginia Delegate Del. Chris Pritt. "The West Virginia House of Delegates sent a clear message that an ever-expanding federal government is unacceptable. We’re not going to tolerate runaway...

Parts of the central U.S. are at risk of a devastating magnitude 7 earthquake within the next 50 years, experts are warning, with added urgency due to what they say is a sense of 'complacency' in those areas. Experts have been predicting a magnitude 7 earthquake in the areas surrounding the New Madrid fault line in Missouri for decades. It covers an area including Memphis, Tennessee, as well as St. Louis, Indianapolis and Little Rock, Arkansas. Despite 45 million people living within the danger zone, warnings have largely been ignored, said Robbie Myers, the emergency management expert from the region....

On Thursday, Sports Illustrated published a long retrospective of the highly controversial University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas portraying the swimmer as an embattled hero who insists, “I am here to swim.” Born male, Thomas has undergone hormone replacement therapy but has not engaged in any surgical measures to “transition.” And Thomas swam on the men’s team for several years at the university before announcing a change of gender. The article never dwells on the fact that, on the men’s team, Thomas’ career was far less remarkable than what he achieved on the women’s team. The magazine takes pains...
