Donald Trump walks into UFC 302 in New Jersey just days after being convicted 10 miles away in New York — Crowd ROARS

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked on CBS News' "Face the Nation" about the $7.5 billion taxpayers have been levied for a nationwide EV charging station network. In the over two years since the funding was announced, the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) has managed to produce only seven, despite the announced plans call for a half million stations being built six years from now by 2030. Buttigieg was unfazed when asked about the numbers.

Paraphrasing Rand: "There was a massive cover-up. They used burner phones.. They used couriers... They said we can't do things electronically instead I can take things to his [Fauci's] house. It sounds more like the CIA than the NIH".

The IDF says it has intercepted a surface-to-surface missile heading toward Israel from the direction of the Red Sea. The ballistic missile, apparently launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, was aimed at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat. The IDF says the missile was downed using the long-range Arrow air defense system. Sirens had sounded in Eilat amid the incident. The Houthis have fired several ballistic missiles and drones at Eilat amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

A few years ago after our monthly meeting with Cardinal Bassetti and with all the priests of the diocese of Perugia, Italy (May 2018), at lunch I talked to a priest from Nigeria, who was helping out in a parish in Perugia (Olmo) on the weekends, while studying at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome for his doctorate. During our conversation, HE INDICATED CLEARLY THAT IT IS FINE AND NORMAL AND RIGHT FOR EACH PERSON TO INTERPRET THE TRUTH AND REALITY AS HE OR SHE BELIEVES WITHOUT ANY REFERENCE TO DIVINE REVELATION summarized in the documents of the Church and...

A Minnesota woman leapt into action when a black bear began to chase her dog, and fearing for his life, ran after them. Bailey Jacobson was leaving her Maple Grove house with the family dog, Zeus, on Tuesday night, when they came face-to-face with a group of unexpected visitors. A home security camera captured the hair-raising moment Zeus began trotting in the direction of a mama bear, who was digging through a garbage can with three cubs at her side. The cubs fled as the German shepherd drew near, with Jacobson trailing behind obliviously. Once she saw the mama bear,...

Yesterday’s attack on the Islam-critical activist Michael Stürzenberger who is a member of the citizens’ movement Pax Europa has cancelled out and replaced the grotesque hype surrounding the allegedly right-wing extremist party singers from Sylt faster than the left-wing state and its propagandists would have liked. The web is overflowing with reports and videos about the latest bloody incident across Europe. As with all the Islamist atrocities of the last ten years, which have met with more or less undivided approval from many supposedly ‘well-integrated’ German Muslims and in some cases (as in the case of Antonio Rüdiger after the...

Just some quick thoughts for anyone who has interactions with democrats in regular life:For all the talk about Trump being a "convicted criminal", I can't help but be reminded of how in the late 1990s, the democrats were quick to circle the wagons around Bill Clinton and defend him against obstruction of justice and perjury charges. The democrats' claim was since the charges arose from Clinton trying to keep his sex life private, he shouldn't have to pay any legal consequences. Now, the democrats are trying to get Donald Trump, a man who will be 78 in less than 2...

The Kansas Supreme Court has ruled that voting is not a fundamental right protected by the Kansas Constitution. The landmark decision on voting rights Friday is likely to weaken legal challenges to future voting restrictions in Kansas. The majority opinion reversed a 2023 appeals court decision that recognized any restrictions on the fundamental right to vote would be subject to the highest legal bar for evaluation, or strict scrutiny. Justice Caleb Stegall wrote for the majority, saying voting is instead a “political right” under the Kansas Constitution that has a lower bar for regulation than fundamental rights.

The Department of Defense is being roasted online for accidentally posting a rainbow LGBTQ pride graphic to recognize PTSD Awareness Month in an embarrassing social media gaffe. The month of June has been designated as PTSD Awareness Month by the federal government since 2014, a year before it also became recognized as Pride Month, Fox News“June is PTSD Awareness Month and the DoD is committed to supporting service members and veterans affected by PTSD,” the department wrote on X. “If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. “You are not alone,” the post’s caption said.Instead of posting...

Other Countries are having rallies for Trump “Donald Trump is needed in this world to bring back peace.”

A saloon in Idaho is drawing both jeers and cheers for its cheeky counter-programming to Pride Month, declaring June “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,” billing it as a celebration of all things straight. “Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” Old State Saloon in the city of Eagle wrote in a Facebook post announcing a month of festivities and drink specials. Every Monday in June will be “Hetero Male Monday,” with a free draft beer given to “any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male,” the bar said. The bar even put...

As my colleague Bonchie covered, college basketball phenom Caitlin Clark is receiving a rough welcome to the WNBA. She’s been receiving hard—dangerous—fouls at an alarming rate. Why? You be the judge. But it certainly seems like jealousy and resentment are the driving forces behind much of the hate she’s received. She’s deserving of her accolades; this is not someone who’s getting attention just for her looks or for her social media profile—she’s the real deal: Top-seeded Iowa, which reached the NCAA title game for the second consecutive season, ended the season at 34-5. Clark finished with 30 points Sunday -...

The leader of Mexico has dramatically ramped up apprehensions of U.S.-bound migrants, providing relief to President Joe Biden as he fights for re-election. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has overseen an unprecedented level of migrant apprehensions in the 2024 calendar year which has, in turn, led to a decrease in migrant encounters for U.S. federal immigration authorities. The drop in migrant flow has helped ease a major headache for Biden as he’s faced poor polling on the migration issue, but questions remain whether the will to crack down on illegal immigration by Mexican leaders will remain after the U.S. election.
