A pro-transgender campaigner and women’s rights activist stunned listeners after revealing she has decided to stop supporting trans rights after being raped and beaten at the hands of a transgender 'woman.' The woman, known as ‘Kay,’ recalled her experience at an Oklahoma Let Women Speak event. “Up until that point I was like everybody else, live and let live,” she said with her voice shaking.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, introduced resolution to censure U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito after an upside-down flag was reportedly displayed on his home after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. “Beyond poor judgment, Justice Alito’s misuse of the American flag is a knowing and shameless demonstration of his political bias. He literally flew a flag in front of his house showing the world he supported the January 6th insurrectionists. What’s more, he continues to participate in litigation directly related to the 2020 election and the Insurrection, in direct violation of the federal...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We are now in alligator mating season, so that means you can expect to see more reptiles out and about. For one local woman, that meant a sighting a little too close for comfort. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office released a video (watch it below) showing Officers Kopp and Johnson removing a small alligator from the 104-year-old woman’s home near Atlantic Boulevard and Art Museum Drive. The officers had a little fun taking the gator away, saying, “We can’t cuff him” and then telling the gator they were going to “take him downtown” so he could “leave the...

Former FBI Director James Comey was on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Tuesday and warned that Trump, if given a second term, would "use the power of the DOJ and the FBI to target his enemies."

An ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin fell for a joke on live TV that circulated in the wake of the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. -snip- Not long after the reports emerged, a reporter for a French TV station mistakenly reported as a rumor a joke on Telegram and X, formerly Twitter, that Raisi's helicopter had been piloted by a Mossad agent named "Eli Kopter." State TV host Vladimir Solovyov, one of the most-prominent figures in Kremlin-backed media, appeared to fall for the joke during a live broadcast on channel Russia-1. The Daily Beast's Julia Davis shared an...

Three of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s top staffers have abruptly resigned. Brittan Specht, Jason Yaworske, and Preston Hill will depart Mike Johnson’s office at the end of May.

In several German states including Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Hamburg, around three-quarters of benefit claimants are either first- or second-generation migrants, suggesting that mass immigration of low-skilled workers is not a net benefit to Europe's largest economy.. Nearly two-thirds of German residents receiving unemployment benefits have a migration background, new figures from the Federal Employment Agency have revealed. The statistics published by the federal agency and cited by the Die Welt broadsheet showed that 63.1 percent of those in receipt of the so-called citizen’s income, or “Bürgergeld,” are of migrant origin, and “most do not have a German passport.” The German...

Norway, Ireland and Spain said on Wednesday they are recognizing a Palestinian state, in a historic but largely symbolic move that deepens Israel’s isolation more than seven months into its grinding war against Hamas in Gaza. The announcements came as the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister and the International Court of Justice is considering allegations of genocide that Israel has strenuously denied.

Organ traffickers exploit vulnerable people in Iran with promises of big bucks for their organs. The life-saving promise of organ transplants is marred by a disturbing reality: international organ trafficking rings. This lucrative criminal enterprise preys on the desperate and fuels a black market catering to wealthy recipients, often oligarchs, seeking a quick fix. Iran, under a criminal regime, has emerged as a suspected hub in this illicit trade. Accusations point to a system where Iranian citizens, burdened by economic hardship, are coerced into selling their organs to foreign recipients. While the extent of the practice remains unclear, reports suggest...

Fifteen incumbent Republican legislators, including Senate President Pro Tem Chuck Winder, R-Boise; Sen. Scott Herndon, R-Sagle; and Rep.

Mike Schmidt, the leftist prosecutor in Portland, Ore., is asking voters to give him the opportunity to serve four more years as head of the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. In an interview with local media last October, he graded himself an “A” for his performance. But if the past four years of record homicides, decriminalized antifa rioting and surging street overdoses represent Schmidt as his best, Portland may not survive another four years with him at the helm. Schmidt’s re-election is being challenged by his subordinate, Nathan Vasquez, a senior deputy district attorney and moderate candidate who promises to...

Three Republican incumbents in the Kentucky General Assembly were knocked off in the primary election Tuesday, including a Lexington moderate who was backed by nearly $300,000 of ads from political action committees. Lexington State Rep. Killian Timoney was defeated by a wide margin in his bid for a third term by Thomas Jefferson, who beat the incumbent by 44 percentage points. Timoney was one of the candidates backed by the Commonwealth Conservatives Coalition, a federal super PAC that bought roughly $1 million of ads to back nine candidates from the establishment wing of the party. The PAC spent more than...

The Secret Service doubled down Tuesday, once again denying that agents attempted to retrieve paperwork from the gun store where Hunter Biden infamously purchased a Colt Cobra revolver that his sister-in-law-turned-lover later tossed in a garbage bin. The agency’s latest denial, however, comes after federal court filings on Monday showed that the FBI interviewed the owner of the StarQuest Shooter gun store in Wilmington, Del., who said that both Delaware State Police and Secret Service agents visited his business the day after the .38-caliber revolver went missing. “There is no change in our statement,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for...

This article might be the most controversial and incendiary but most accurate ever written in the last 120 years regarding the Islamic belief system. All I request from our readers is to judge its contents not based on emotions or perceptions but entirely upon its accuracy grounded upon the Islamic scripture and sources. 20% of humanity is Muslim, and 80% is none Muslim. Both Sunnis and Shia Muslims are the enemies of 80% of humanity, whom they call Kuffar/Infidels. Among the 20% of Muslims, 85% are Sunnis and 15% are Shia. Each considers the other Kuffar. Therefore, according to Islam,...

According to a court brief submitted Monday night, prosecutors will call Kathleen Buhle, Biden's ex-wife; Hallie Biden, the widow of his late brother, Beau, with whom he had a relationship; and Lunden Roberts, an Arkansas woman with whom Hunter Biden has a daughter. "Witness 3 will also establish that the defendant possessed the gun and she discarded it in an outdoor trash receptacle at the Janssen's Market in Wilmington, Delaware after removing it from his vehicle," prosecutors wrote, referring to Hallie Biden, who reportedly is the one who found the Cobra 38SPL and got rid of it. "The government intends...

Hunter Biden, this is your life! The first son’s ex-wife and a pair of his former lovers are slated to testify in Delaware federal court about his crack cocaine addiction as he heads to trial on weapons charges beginning June 3. Hunter’s former spouse Kathleen Buhle, his sister-in-law-turned-lover Hallie Biden and ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan all have memories of the now-54-year-old’s near-constant drug use during the period in October 2018 when he lied about his addiction and purchased a handgun, according to Monday court filings. Hunter deliberately claimed on a federal background check form that he was neither a user of...

KANSAS CITY, KS — In the wake of Harrison Butker's recent commencement speech encouraging college graduates to get married and start a family, feminists around the nation are cautioning young girls not to marry wealthy, successful Super Bowl champions like Butker. "Can you imagine how terrible it would be to marry a ripped, non-feminist football star who loves you so much he gets choked up every time he honors you in a speech?" activist Margery Strecker exclaimed in a Tik-Tok short aimed at 13-year-old girls. "Imagine if you married a guy like that and he started sacrificially loving you and...
