Alec also carried a bright red and yellow beach towel to the sand, and was seen capturing photos on his iPhone.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz said that he believes the U.S. Supreme Court was “clearly wrong” when it legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. In Obergefell v. Hodges, The Court chose to legalize gay marriage in a 5 to 4 ruling in June 2015. The Supreme Court decision made it illegal for any state, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to deny a marriage certificate to same-sex couples. Much like the Dobbs decision, the ruling cited the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. In a recent episode of his Verdict+ podcast, Cruz...

Hunter Biden allegedly used the Naval Observatory as his hub to meet foreign political and business leaders while Joe Biden was vice president for eight years.. Hunter Biden met with his father at least 30 times at the White House or the vice president’s residence, often just days after he returned home from overseas business jaunts. The breakfasts, lunches and other gabfests between 2008 and 2016 raise questions about whether Hunter was relaying messages to his father on behalf of foreign clients, and cast new doubt on the president’s repeated denials that he had any role in his son’s shady...

The “Summer of Mostly Peaceful Fiery Violence” is two years in the rearview mirror now, and much of the country has moved on. The super woke commie blue cities that Granny Boxwine and the rest of the Democratic elite embraced are — SURPRISE! — facing a bit of a cop shortage, though. It turns out that His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama is the only Democrat who can routinely crap on law enforcement and still receive adequate armed protection.Athena wrote yesterday about the sorry state of affairs in one of the showcase progressive hellholes from two years ago:Progressive American...

ouse Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., continues to keep House Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of the panel's investigatory purview, a top House Republican told "Life, Liberty & Levin" in the face of claims she rejected precautionary National Guard troops ahead of the riot. House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. — who took over the role after House Jan. 6 Committee Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney was voted out of the post — called the panel "un-American." Stefanik pointed to Thompson's 2021 comment that "nobody is off-limits" from investigation including former President Donald Trump, but also cited further comments...

A Houston police officer spoke out for the first time about thwarting a potential mass shooting earlier this year, when a man with a rifle and 120 rounds of ammunition was spotted in a mall near a children’s dance competition. “I quickly bum rushed, tackled him. And my first reaction was to make sure that I get a hold of the rifle. No matter what I grabbed, make sure I grabbed that rifle,” Houston Sgt. Kendrick Simpo told ABC 13. “I had in my mind (that) I was going to get shot. I just had to bear the pain. I...

Two Trump advisers told the Washington Post that Trump was eyeing a September announcement, though one confidant said the odds were at “70-30 he announces before the midterms,” and others said Trump may do it sooner than September. CNN's Gabby Orr (formerly of the Washington Examiner) got even more specific. "It's actually him pushing his advisers to get him ready to announce before or shortly after Labor Day, is the latest timing I've been told," she said to a CNN panel. Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 5.

The iconic soundtrack to Peanuts is breezy, Latin-inspired jazz. This is the story of how musician and composer Vince Guaraldi came to make it. One of the most iconic songs of the 60s was not sung by a dynamic, charismatic singer like Aretha Franklin or Mick Jagger. There was no breathtaking guitar solo by the likes of Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton. It was not composed by Burt Bacharach or arranged by Johnny Mercer. The best-known visuals associated with the song, in fact, were a cartoon adolescent playing it on a toy piano, a crabby girl hanging out with him,...

The Queens bus rider assaulted in an alleged “anti-white” crime told The Post on Sunday that one of her attackers accused her of being a fan of former President Donald Trump before the assailants bashed her on the head. Jill LeCroix, a 57-year-old grandma of five, was left bleeding after she was blitzed by three black women July 9 while riding the city bus — an attack now being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force. “Before they hit me, the girl with the green hair said, ‘You probably like Trump! Don’t you?’ LeCroix recalled. “I said, ‘I love...

Hard to believe but it’s only just over a week since the latest Tory psychodrama began. It feels longer. So much longer. Time bends and stalls when you’re in the parallel universe of a Liz Truss speech. She leaves audiences begging for a lethal injection. The other leadership contenders are little better, registering mostly as absences on the space-time continuum. Negative energy.

Nearly 400 law-enforcement officers responded to the scene of the Uvalde school massacre, but their “overall lackadaisical approach” meant the gunman wasn’t confronted for more than an hour — helping him slaughter 19 fourth-graders and two teachers, a scathing new probe says. Responding to the May 24 mass-shooting scene in the Texas town were 376 law-enforcement personnel: 149 Border Patrol officers; 91 members of the state Department of Public Safety; 14 from the Department of Homeland Security; 25 from the Uvalde Police Department; 16 from the San Antonio Police Department and another 16 from the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office, according...

Dr. Ashish Jha, White House Wuhan Coronavirus Response Coordinator, advocated for the return of state and local mask mandates during a Sunday morning media appearance. With the rise of the BA.5 subvariant, the usual suspects are again peddling the same tired "solutions" they've hawked for more than two years. Among the tiredest are mask mandates, which have consistently been shown to have negligible effects on transmission rates when areas with mandates are compared to those without them. This time around though, with deaths and hospitalizations remaining fairly low and the vast majority of cases being something akin to a common...

SNIP The 78-year-old music legend offered his commentary after The Weeknd’s Toronto concert received more media coverage than his. SNIP “And, by the way, with all due respect to The Weeknd or Drake or any of them. I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be, however many billions of streams they’ve got. There is stuff going on here that is fundamentally important to all of our lives,” he said. SNIP “I love Roger Waters, and Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands, but this seems like an ‘old man yells at...

Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey on Sunday warned voters in his state against Kari Lake, the far-right, gubernatorial candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump. "Kari Lake's misleading voters with no evidence," Ducey, who co-chairs the Republican Governors Association, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" when asked about Lake's embrace of Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Lake became an early favorite in the August 2 primary by embracing the once-fringe extremism now mainstream within the Republican Party, including promoting election lies, doubling down against mask and vaccine mandates, and calling for the...
