Disney heiress Abigail Disney was arrested after joining climate activists blockading a ritzy New York airport in a protest over private jets - and cops had to use heavy duty power tools to cut her free from thick plastic piping as she lay on the ground. The 63-year-old social activist was among dozens of eco-protesters who on Friday obstructed the regional East Hampton Airport in Wainscott, which services private jets only. The demonstration involved groups including New York Communities for Change, Planet Over Profit and Sunrise Movement NYC. .....

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) Monday called on Democrats to “do something” about antisemitic remarks being made by members of their caucus, after Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) stirred up a firestorm for calling Israel a “racist state,” a comment she later walked back. Asked about Jayapal’s comments — which were made during a progressive conference Saturday — McCarthy noted Democrats who have come under fire in the past for making antisemitic remarks, telling reporters “this isn’t the first person in the Democratic conference that has continued to make antisemitic comments.”

The White House on Monday blasted comments made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about COVID-19 as “vile” amid broader condemnation of the Democratic presidential candidate’s claim that the virus was manipulated to target white and Black people. The firestorm began after The New York Post reported Kennedy Jr.’s comments, in which he said during an event last week that COVID-19 was “ethnically targeted” to attack those groups of people while avoiding Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews.

"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. "And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and...

There will soon be changes to the living accommodations at the White House. Unemployed white trash relatives have moved into the Biden White House causing consternation from the first family but also neighbors. A solution has been hashed out with the offending relatives to keep them close and out of easy subpoena range. A mobile home will be moved onto the South Lawn and hooked up for their new accommodations. The mobile home will be acquired from the FEMA stock and is certified for use as a multi-family dwelling and crack production facility. Blind Secret Service Agents will be assigned...

Robert Bush, 17, suffered sudden cardiac arrest after a 4-minute conditioning drill on July 3. His teammates and coach desperately tried to save him when he collapsed on the field.

Robert's family says he was taken off life support Friday night so that his organs could be donated. The grieving...

The floundering Walt Disney Company’s Disney+ streaming service is expected to record a $800 million third-quarter loss. That’s nearly a billion dollars lost in a single quarter. I tell ya, Disney’s slow-motion collapse is more entertaining than anything these child predators have created in years. Apparently, grooming little kids doesn’t pay. Who knew? In better news, Disney stock took a dive after it was announced disgraced CEO Bob Iger extended his contract to 2026. The smart money knows Groomer Bob is not good for business. Wanna good laugh? The Disney sycophants in the corporate media have been portraying these massive...

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann was nicknamed “Peter” by colleagues — after the bumbling, plodding and sometimes uncouth dad in the popular TV sitcom “Family Guy.” “We called him ‘Peter,’ the ‘Family Guy,’ mostly because of the way he looked — he was goofy,” a Big Apple architect who worked with Heuermann for almost 20 years told Fox News Digital. The former colleague, who asked not to be named, said he was shocked by the ghastly allegations against the Massapequa Park married father of two, whom he described as “really friendly and really nice. “A year ago, my...

Traffic was stopped on the Russian-built Crimean Bridge due to "an emergency" situation, Russia-installed officials said on Monday, while Ukrainian media reported blasts on the bridge.

Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says he thinks it would be a mistake for former President Trump not to attend the upcoming Republican presidential primary debates as the former president threatens to skip it. “[The race] is certainly his to lose right now. He’s an unconventional candidate. When some people talked about him not going to the upcoming debate in August in Milwaukee — I think that would be a mistake,” Walker told CNN’s Dana Bash on “Inside Politics” on Monday.

Mr. DeSantis was always bound to be subjected to more scrutiny as a candidate, rather than a candidate in waiting. His decision to challenge Mr. Trump — who remains a favorite of Fox News’s audience and some of its hosts, including Ms. Bartiromo — was also certain to result in sideswipes from fellow Republicans. But taken together, the signs of skepticism from previously friendly conservative megaphones suggest that Mr. Murdoch’s media empire might now be reassessing him as the early shine comes off his campaign. Even if Mr. Murdoch’s outlets as a whole are less determinative of outcomes in Republican...

A rival of Howard Stern has unearthed allegedly shocking and “evil” behavior the iconic radio host displayed years ago while working in the Chicago market in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Former President Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly said a second term for the ex-president would result in a “nonstop gunfight” with Congress. Kelly was Trump’s second chief of staff and came into the job hoping to instill discipline on the White House. He ended up lasting in the role for nearly a year and a half but had little success in ending the drama and infighting the characterized Trump’s administration. “It would be chaotic,” Kelly said of what a second term might look like in the New York Times opinion piece. “It just simply would be chaotic, because he’d...

On Independence Day, Federal District Court Judge Terry Doughty issued a preliminary injunction in Missouri v. Biden that blocks the White House and numerous federal agencies from communicating with social media companies for “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.” The Government filed a Notice of Appeal, and requested a stay on enforcement of the injunction until its appeal is decided. Doughty denied the stay, though he nominally clarified the injunction’s scope. The Government then filed for an emergency stay with the Fifth Circuit...

An Australian man has been rescued in the Pacific after surviving for two months on rainwater and raw fish in what has been likened to the film “Cast Away” — but his companion was a dog, not a hand-printed volleyball. Sydney resident Tim Shaddock, a 51-year-old cancer survivor, and his pooch Bella set off from La Paz, Mexico, in April on a catamaran journey to French Polynesia, but their vessel was damaged in a storm several weeks later, Australia’s 9News reported. The pair survived by drinking rainwater and eating raw fish as they waited for a miracle while adrift in...

President Joe Biden has agreed to stop funding the construction of United States-Mexico border wall using funds from the Defense and Treasury Departments. On Monday, the Biden administration entered a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to halt funding border wall construction with money deriving from federal agencies approved under former President Trump.
