You just can’t make this stuff up, folks! This video shows an allegedly drunken PA Democrat Rep. Kevin Boyle. He’s yelling at the female staffers, cussing at them, threatening to shut down the bar, and accusing them of being military agents. I don’t know what he had to drink, but I think he’s gotta cross that one of his list of allowed beverages. This jabroni just can’t handle his beverages like a real man. And come on, look at that creepy mustache the dude has. He’s putting too much of that small peen energy out there and no one is...

One of America’s most iconic classic cars is about to come back to the future. DeLorean, the famous name associated with the DMC-12 model famously portrayed as a time machine in the Back to the Future film franchise, is gearing up for the release of its Alpha5 later this year, a modern take on its famous gull-wing door automobile design. “We will continue to apply our rebellious DNA to shape our vehicles and constantly push the boundaries of what’s possible,” reads a page devoted to the new Alpha5 on DeLorean’s website. “We are writing our legacy in real-time,” it reads,...

CNN swiftly cut to a commercial break after anchor Wolf Blitzer looked like he was about to vomit during an interview with House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin on Thursday. As Raskin (D-Md.) talked about the dispute in Colorado over Donald Trump appearing on the ballot, Blitzer made a series of pained expressions as he seemingly tried to stifle himself from getting sick on air.

On a hot August afternoon, I finished a call with a client as I opened the door to the room of my 2-year-old daughter, Alice. She’d slept a little longer than usual, and I needed to wake her so we could retrieve my 4-year-old daughter, Grace, from school. I leaned over Alice in her crib, and she was stiff and blue. Bad, bad, very bad ran through my brain. I started CPR, counting two breaths per 30 chest thrusts, and somehow managed to call 911. Eventually, the paramedics arrived. They told me to stand back. I did. Shortly after, I...

GOP presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley on Friday claimed that Democrats are on the path to retiring President Biden as a candidate for reelection. “I have long said the first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate will win the White House. Democrats appear on their way to doing just that,” Haley said in a statement on the recent release of a special counsel report on Biden’s retention of classified documents posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “[Former President Trump] runs about even with the enfeebled Biden; he would get crushed by a Democrat with a pulse.” The...

The former NFL player - who was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife and her friend in the 'Trial of the Century' in 1995 - was also claimed to have been in hospice care, just weeks after he was spotted looking frail in Las Vegas. Simpson, 76, has since taken to social media to deny the hospice rumors, but did not reference the Local 10 News report that he is undergoing treatment for cancer.

The sunspot group is now facing Earth. The sunspot group is more than 15 times the diameter of Earth.

It was imaged by NASA's Perseverance Rover from the surface of Mars just last week. The sunspot is so big it can be...

KFF Health News — The Covid-19 pandemic would be a wake-up call for America, advocates for the elderly predicted: incontrovertible proof that the nation wasn’t doing enough to care for vulnerable older adults. The death toll was shocking, as were reports of chaos in nursing homes and seniors suffering from isolation, depression, untreated illness, and neglect. Around 900,000 older adults have died of Covid-19 to date, accounting for 3 of every 4 Americans who have perished in the pandemic. But decisive actions that advocates had hoped for haven’t materialized. Today, most people — and government officials — appear to accept...

Former White House aide and CNN contributor David Axelrod on Friday criticized President Biden for snapping at a reporter for the network who earlier asked about concerns regarding his memory and age. “Donald Trump is a gaffe-machine himself, but because he is energetic these questions are not as profound for him,” Axelrod said Friday. More concerning, Axelrod said of Biden, “was the way he reacted to [CNN reporter] MJ [Lee] when she asked a question, that was completely legitimate, which is what are you going to do about the fact that so many people have this question, and he snapped...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As questions continue to mount regarding the lack of fiscal responsibility exercised by lawmakers, U.S. Senators said they are not super worried about running up the national debt since most of them will die of natural causes in the next year or so. "Yeah, we're not too concerned about it," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "If any of us were in any position to be alive when it comes time to pay the piper, we might do things a bit differently. As things stand now, most of us have one foot in the grave already, so...

A senior Hamas terrorist told a Lebanese news outlet, which the allied jihadist group Hezbollah operates, on Thursday that his group would offer “no compromise” on the destruction of Israel, describing the Jewish state as having “no future in the region.” Osama Hamdan, the top Hamas representative in Lebanon, threatened all who support the existence of Israel, telling Hezbollah’s al-Manar news, “Whoever counts on it or attaches their future to it will lose.” Hamdan’s comments echo the ideological provisions of the Hamas terrorist charter and statements made since 2023 by officials in Iran, the world’s premier state sponsor of terrorism...

Vice President Kamala Harris tore into special counsel Robert Hur on Friday for questioning President Biden’s mental fitness in a stunning report on his handling of classified records — with the veep saying Hur lacked “integrity” and was “politically motivated” before saying Biden was focused on Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel when he appeared confused to Hur’s investigators over two days of interviews. Harris, 59, was asked whether she “as a former prosecutor” thought Hur’s report was “fair” to Biden, 81, who is seeking a second term in the November election. *** “Listen, I have been privileged and proud...
