A California man suing Powerball winner Edwin Castro over a $2 billion winning ticket claims he was blackmailed and falsely told the ducat “was a loser.” In court papers, Jose Rivera argues he’s the rightful owner of the $2.04 billion jackpot, buying the winning ticket Nov. 7, 2022 — a day before the drawing — from Joe’s Service Station in Altadena. But a man identified as “Reggie,” Urachi F. Romero, allegedly “stole” the ticket and “refused” to return it despite Rivera’s requests, the complaint states. Rivera said he repeatedly asked “Reggie” to hand over the ticket once the winning numbers...

When asked if they agree that the media are “truly the enemy of the people,” 59 percent of those polled agreed, while only 36 percent disagreed. In other words, a pretty large majority of Americans agree with former President Trump that the media are our enemy — which is 100 percent true. Rasmussen surveyed 1,002 likely American voters between May 16-18 and also discovered most people know the political media cannot be trusted, and this same political media favor the Democrat party. “Do you trust the political news you are getting?” Only 30 percent said yes, while 52 percent said...

How could this be all white? Organizers of a South Carolina town’s Juneteenth events have issued a groveling apology for advertising the holiday marking the emancipation of black slaves with a banner showing only a white couple. The seemingly colorblind promos for Juneteenth GVL’s June “mega fest” went viral soon after they were put up across Greenville — sparking outrage and even calls for a boycott. “You want to celebrate the depth of black culture on Juneteenth by putting white [people] as the face of it?” one outraged critic tweeted the organizers. “How were you not aware how problematic that...

We told you the media would run away from this story once the identity of the U-Haul driver was identified. Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, rammed security barricades near the White House early on May 23. Explosives were not found inside the vehicle, but a notebook and duct tape were found in his backpack. There was also a Nazi flag, something the Left zeroed in on like a Tomahawk missile before Mr. Kandula was revealed as the perpetrator. A nonwhite man from Chesterfield, Missouri, committed the crime. It was time for the liberal media to deploy countermeasures. Kandula reportedly wanted to...

The tech could be a breakthrough in diagnosing and managing a deadly disease that has no obvious symptoms. Credit: Aktiia Hypertension is one of the most widespread chronic diseases in the world: nearly a quarter of adults globally suffer from high blood pressure, including half of adults in the US. It’s called the “silent killer” because there are usually no symptoms, and it is deadly. In 2021 alone, hypertension caused or contributed to over 691,000 deaths in the US, according to the CDC. But it does not have to be this way. Hypertension is very treatable — diet, physical activity,...

Doug Mastriano, the far-right state senator who was blown out in Pennsylvania's gubernatorial contest last fall, announced Thursday that he will not run for Senate in 2024. "At this time we have decided not to run for Senate, but to continue to serve in Harrisburg," Mastriano said in a video posted on Facebook Thursday. "So I know for some, that’ll be disappointing. For others, it won’t be disappointing, because you’re like, ‘Who’s going to fill his seat? Who’s going to be our voice in Harrisburg?’ … Whoever is that nominee, I will support them," he added. Mastriano had been openly...

Not only are they pushing trans clothing on children, but it sounds like they’ve been donating to a group that promotes SECRET child gender transitions and LGBTQ books in schools. No words.

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Friday on his show “Morning Joe” that he believed “the rotted corpse” of the Republican Party had been on an “eight-year march toward fascism.” Scarborough said, “Florida governor and 2024 hopeful Ron DeSantis said he like Donald Trump, he’d pardon some of the rioters from January 6 at the Capitol.” He continued, “About 400 rioters have already received sentences for their violent, vile acts committed on January 6. their anti-American, treasonous acts. 200 have been incarcerated for that rioting, for the beating of cops. Support the blue? Not quite. Not even close. For Donald Trump...

I talk about the rising tide of racial hatred against White people that some are refusing to acknowledge is happening. Six minutes of this sixteen minute video is a compilation of what people are saying about White people online. Take a look for yourself, and ask yourself: where is all of this going? We can take a peek into the future by examining what is going on in this cultural climate: segregation and hatred of White people, sanctioned by government and law. You can shout all you want that such policies are remedial in nature, but that does not make...

The Supreme Court on Thursday finally ended one of the most brazen examples of bureaucratic tyranny in modern times. Naturally, liberals were outraged and warned that curbing federal power will doom the environment. Congress enacted the Clean Water Act in 1972 to prevent pollution of the nation’s waterways. In subsequent years, federal judges decided the law also applied to adjacent wetlands, since they could contribute to pollution. But “What is a wetland?” is the DC version of “How many angels can dance on a pinhead?” Since 1972, federal agencies have changed the definition of wetlands jurisdiction 13 times. Up to...

Christina Pushaw, a top adviser to Ron DeSantis, argued with a 16-year-old Trump supporter about botox and Ukraine on Twitter just one day after the Florida governor launched his campaign for the presidency. The argument started on Thursday after “GOP Josh” — a 16-year-old supporter of former President Donald Trump — asked Pushaw, “How much of the $1M DeStablishment raised yesterday will go towards your Botox?” “Does your mom know what you are doing on the internet,” Pushaw shot back, prompting GOP Josh to take several digs at Pushaw’s alleged cosmetic work. After GOP Josh accused Pushaw of being a...

Oregon Senate Republicans began a walkout on May 3, ultimately stalling floor sessions in response to far-left legislation that would allow minors to have abortions and access transgender drugs and procedures without parental consent in the state.
