In September 2021, at the height of the Covid pandemic, ESPN anchor Sage Steele appeared on the podcast “Uncut with Jay Cutler” on her day off. During the interview, Cutler asked Steele why she had a bandage on her arm, and she explained that she had just received the jab in compliance with Disney policy, which required salaried and non-union workers to be fully vaccinated. The 16-year veteran of ESPN went on to slam the corporate mandate as “sick” and “scary” and noted that she “didn’t want to” get the vaccine but still complied in order to keep her job...

Nine people have been injured, including children, after gunfire broke out at Hollywood Beach in Florida, on Monday afternoon. Officials said the shots were fired following an altercation between two groups that escalated.

89-year-old Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) reportedly became confused when she saw that Vice President Kamala Harris was presiding over the Senate for a tie-breaker. A New York Times report documents the extent of Feinstein’s cognitive limitations and fueled anger over her return to the Senate. According to the report, Feinstein expressed confusion when she saw that Harris, a former California senator, was presiding over the Senate, an official function of the vice president. The incident occurred last year in one of the few times Harris cast a vote in the Senate to break a tie vote between Republicans and...

Aisle after aisle in supermarkets across the nation appears to confirm that Bud Light is far from being the flavor of the week. On what is considered by many Americans to be the unofficial start to summer, instead of shelves looking depleted from a Memorial Day weekend of partying and drinking, rows of store shelves sat packed with Bud Light and Budweiser in posts shared on social media. Following the backlash over the use of transgender influence Dylan Mulvaney by parent company Anheuser-Busch to promote Bud Lights, the company has seen its market value tank. The hit has been anecdotal...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a warning of “a heightened threat environment,” including possible attacks against such institutions as churches and the police, as the 2024 election draws closer. Just The News reports that the Memorial Day bulletin issued by the DHS also warned of political violence that could be sparked by “legislative or judicial decisions pertaining to sociopolitical issues.” “The United States remains in a heightened threat environment,” the bulletin declares. “Lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and personal grievances continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the...

A South Carolina gas station owner has been charged with murder for shooting a 14-year-old armed teenage boy in the back because he thought he'd stolen bottled water.

The twelve apostles included "Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him" (Matt. 10:4). God can use even an apostate like Judas to teach us some important lessons. Judas is history's greatest human tragedy. He had opportunities and privileges known only to the other disciples, but he turned from them to pursue a course of destruction. Yet even from his foolishness we can learn some important lessons. Judas, for example, is the world's greatest example of lost opportunity. He ministered for three years with Jesus Himself but was content merely to associate with Him, never submitting to Him in saving faith....

There are growing calls for CUNY to lose its government funding after the commencement speech of a pro-Palestine, graduating student who used the floor to denigrate Israel, the NYPD, the US Armed Forces and local politicians after receiving her subsidized education. Fatima Mousa Mohammed was chosen by her classmates as the 2023 commencement speaker at CUNY Law's graduation ceremony on May 12. Her 13-minute-long speech has only now become public after CUNY uploaded it to YouTube. Initially, the school kept it private. In her remarks, Mohammed - whose family is Yemeni but who grew up in Queens - called the...

Parents in the Midwest are speaking out about a controversial book discussing a child's desire to transition genders - after it was pulled in several states but remains in others. 'Call Me Max,' a picture book penned by a transgender man, tells the story of a child who identifies as transgender - and is currently being read aloud to kids as young as four in Minnesota, public school officials in the state have confirmed. Released in 2019, the 32-page story depicts a child who struggles with the gender they were born with, and asks teachers to call them by a...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Tuesday said he “absolutely” thinks Congress will quickly pass the legislation crafted by the White House and House GOP leadership to address the debt ceiling, even as the plan faces opposition on both sides. “If you’re looking for a reason to be against something in Washington, you can always find something saying that wasn’t good enough, didn’t go far enough,” Manchin said during an appearance on West Virginia MetroNews’s “Talkline” with Hoppy Kercheval early Tuesday.

I hope their deeds in the next few days match their words right now...

A woman was shot dead in an Uber in a wealthy Atlanta neighborhood in what police are calling a “targeted incident.” This victim, who has not been named, was discovered in the back of a black Cadillac Escalade on Lindbergh Drive in Buckhead around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, FOX 5 reported.

On Thursday afternoon, while testifying in a civil trial, Juarez pushed up a pant leg to reveal that tattoo: a helmet-wearing skeleton gripping a rifle. The rare and candid disclosure came in a case centered on the secretive world of deputy gangs, reports of which have plagued the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for half a century and led to an array of investigations, studies and legal settlements.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he will lead an effort to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if he refuses to share an informant file accusing President Biden of being part of a $5 million bribery scheme while he was vice president. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) gave Wray until Tuesday to comply with a subpoena for the tipoff — warning that his continued refusal would begin the contempt process. “Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now: If he misses the deadline today, I’m prepared to move contempt charges...

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is stonewalling a judge’s subpoena of internal documents related to how the medical organization came up with its guidelines for gender confused minors. WPATH, a leading advocate for child sex changes, was subpoenaed in March by a federal judge in Alabama after the organization’s guidelines were repeatedly referenced to argue against the state’s restrictions on sex changes for minors during a lawsuit. WPATH has attempted to quash the subpoena, which a judge denied in March. The court case challenges Alabama’s law banning sex changes for individuals under 19. While WPATH argued it...

Nancy Mace also cited provisions, termed the “fine print,” which allegedly contradict aspects of the bill. “After factoring in a small cut to discretionary spending over the next 2 yrs, we are still talking about ~$6T more or less in spending bc (sic) of large increases in spending elsewhere. In other words, it’s a wash spending-wise,” wrote Mace. She added, “The bill doesn’t actually set a debt limit. Rather it suspends the debt limit entirely until Jan. 2, 2025, and there is no actual amount capping the debt ceiling.” Mace also highlighted a provision of the bill that would allow...

In-laws are arriving in August from South Korea...their first visit to North America. They want to see New England and parts of Canada. Tourist visas are the problem...specifically the fact that they'll be entering the US at least twice (they're flying to/from JFK). Anyone know if there's such a thing as a "multiple entry" visa tourist visa to the US? If so,anyone know how they get one. South Koreans are "favored" so it looks like visas for them are easier to get than for unfriendly countries. Thanks to anyone who has info for me. And yes,I've checked the website but...
