A 17-year-old boy slipped and plummeted to his death from the popular new 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles, after climbing the bridge as part of an apparent social media stunt, according to police. The youth’s body was found at about 2 a.m. Saturday on the eastern side of the span, which has become a troubling magnet for gunplay, dangerous stunts and careless online clout-chasing since it opened about a year ago. The teen, whose name has not been released, was taken to LA County USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said...

The Democrats in the United States should focus on their own country instead of trying to impose their leftist ideology on the rest of the world, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said. Speaking with the Bloomberg news agency in an interview at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha this week, Hungary’s populist-nationalist leader stressed the importance for countries such as the United States to respect the cultural identity of others, particularly for the left-wing Democrat party, which despite professing tolerance as a virtue seems to often struggle to embody it themselves. “I would say that the American Democrats are far...

I strongly support Ron DeSantis in the race to become the Republican nominee. I am not unpersuadable. Certainly not NeverTrump. If it is Trump v. Democrat, I am Trump. Easy call, that. But I am, in fact, a fan of Ron DeSantis. You already know that, but I want to lay my cards on the table as the primary battle heats up. DeSantis has been an outstanding governor of Florida, and his electoral victory and the huge level of support in Florida (nearly 60% approval) demonstrate that Floridians as a group agree with that sentiment. DeSantis turned Florida deep Red...

Former President Donald Trump warned the "radical left Democrats" will step up "fake investigations" and attacks on him because of his strong polling numbers."A poll just came out where I am way up on Biden in the general election," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "What that means is that the radical left Democrats will step up their Fake Investigations on me because they now see they can't win at the ballot box."Trump-hating special prosecutor Jack Smith, whose family and friends are big-time haters also, will be working overtime on this treasonous quest. They are scoundrels and cheats. This...

Organizers of a “Youth Carnival” sponsored by two Indiana LGBTQ+ associations and the Indianapolis Airport Authority will not allow parents to attend with their children. According to an Instagram post by Indiana Youth Group, it is collaborating with Indy Pride to hold the carnival for “youth” ages 12 to 20 at an activity center nicknamed “The Pit” on June 7 from 1 to 6 p.m. The event, restricted to those “youth,” promises games, vendors, food, fun, and unspecified “entertainment.” Moms for Liberty founder Tiffany Justice, whose group champions parents’ rights, called this provision “a red flag. “Why would parents send...

The Durham report refuted the narrative of former President Donald Trump colluding with Russia to win the 2016 Election for good. Now, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) seeks to charge former House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) a $16 million fine for continuing to propagate the narrative. Why $16 million? Rep. Luna stated this was approximately half the cost of the federal investigation, therefore suggesting Rep. Schiff owes much culpability in pushing the Trump-Russia collusion story. "The GOP Conference agrees that Adam Schiff has betrayed the trust of the American people, purposely abused positions of extreme authority, lied continuously,...

Fox News ridiculed Ron DeSantis’ chaotic Twitter-based 2024 presidential campaign launch on Wednesday after analysts suggested that Elon Musk’s social network could be the new Fox News.Following DeSantis’ Twitter Spaces event — which was plagued with technical difficulties, prohibiting many people from listening in to the Florida governor’s presidential campaign launch — FoxNews.com led with the tag, “AMATEUR HOUR” and the headline, “Much-hyped presidential announcement a disaster for Twitter due to tech issues.”Fox News then rubbed it in with the breaking news notification, “PROGRAMMING ALERT: Want to actually see and hear Ron DeSantis? Tune into Fox News at 8 p.m....

Fresh on the heels of a sensible request by France to pause new green regulations comes an even stronger pushback in Germany. ... Last week it was President Macron who was rowing back on green measures. In a speech he asserted that Europe has, for now, gone far enough – if it introduces any more regulations without the rest of the world following suit then it will put investment at risk and harm the economy. This week, the European People’s Party – a centre right grouping which includes the German Christian Democrats, the party of Commission President Ursula von der...

Coordinated lawsuits are targeting schools and parents across the country. Biden launched his 2024 presidential campaign with an ad attacking Republicans for keeping a book featuring a 10-year-old performing sex acts out of schools. “’Lawn Boy‘, one of the books shown in the Biden ad, includes lines like, “I was ten years old, but it’s true. I put Doug Goble’s ____ in my mouth.” According to Biden, whose administration had previously colluded to investigate parents rallying against sexualizing schoolchildren with graphic materials like these as domestic terrorists, anyone opposed to having ‘Lawn Boy’ in schools is a “MAGA extremist”. While...

The machete-wielding NYC professor who allegedly threatened to "chop up" a New York Post reporter surrendered to police Thursday morning, even though she insists she's the victim and said the entire incident "has taken a toll on my mental health." Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, turned herself in to police around 7 a.m., according to the New York Post. It's unclear if she was charged. She told ARTnews through her spokesperson that Hunter College, where she was an adjunct professor, fired her because the school "capitulated" to "racists, white nationalists, and misogynists."

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Wednesday announced that he would soon meet with FBI Director Christopher Wray to resolve a dispute between House Republicans and the bureau over its refusal to hand over a document that detailed an alleged bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. Comer indicated he might seek a House vote hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress should he ultimately refuse to provide House investigators with the desired form. The Kentucky lawmaker said that Wray had reached out to him hours prior to his appearance on Fox News's...

falling by 2 percentage points in 10 years’ time, according to Census Bureau data released Thursday. Slightly more than 80 million out of 126.8 million occupied housing units across the country were inhabited by homeowners in 2020, putting the nation’s homeownership rate at 63.1 percent.

Muslim parents and activists are going after one of the wealthiest counties in America, which borders D.C. and hosts several federal agencies, for subverting their right to control their children's instruction on gender and sexuality and depriving Muslim girls of modesty. Montgomery County Public Schools is willfully violating Maryland law and its own policies by withholding parental notice and opt-outs for "storybooks" that expose 3-year-olds to sex workers, kink and drag, tell fifth-graders that gender transitions don't have to "make sense" and celebrate elementary-age children in same-sex romances, a new lawsuit claims.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Cities across the US have agreed to pay out a total of more than $80m in settlements to protesters injured by police during 2020 racial justice protests – a figure experts believe is unprecedented and will rise further as many lawsuits are still playing out. The brutal murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers on 25 May 2020 sparked the largest nationwide demonstrations since the civil rights era, as upwards of 26 million people gathered to protest racism and police brutality. But, three years later, at least 19 US cities will pay more than $80m total to protesters who...
