    A Tennessee store clerk was allegedly caught on surveillance footage celebrating after he stole a customer's $1million lottery ticket. Police say the lucky winner purchased two winning Diamond & Gold scratch-off tickets from a Shell gas station in Murfreesboro...Patel then allegedly paid the unidentified Antioch father for the $40 ticket, and told him the other ticket lost and threw it in the garbage - when in reality it was actually a $1million winner, News Channel 5 reports....What he apparently did not realize is that lottery officials vet all of the major winners - including by checking security video from the...

    I am particularly disgusted with her behavior since she has become the presumptive Democrat nominee. First, she has stopped calling Biden Mr. President. She now refers to him as Joe. I am no fan of his, however, he's still holds the office and should be referred as such. That goes for all Presidents regardless of their party. You should respect the office if not the man. Second, I saw a video clip yesterday of her getting off of her plane and then saluting the Air Force Officer. She holds no office as Commander in Chief or second in command for...

    These sweltering summer months are impossible to get through without a little air conditioning. Using cross ventilation can supercharge your cooling setup during milder weather, but during blazing hot spells, only a highly functional AC will do. Air conditioning units need to be cleaned just like other appliances, and putting it off will cause that precious machine to putter along and waste expensive energy while doing so.

    When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton. What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter candidate, then President, then ex-President, and then candidate again, Donald Trump. The nonstop efforts were all justified as “saving democracy”—albeit by nearly destroying it. In 2015-2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign fueled the lie that discredited ex-British spy Christopher Steele had discovered Donald Trump to be a veritable Russian agent. Hillary...
  • Donald Trump Commits to Debating Kamala Harris (maybe twice)

    Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he was open to debating Vice President Kamala Harris, committing for the first time to at least one debate with the new presumptive Democratic nominee for president as he attacked her record on immigration and border security. As Harris held her first official campaign event, Trump dialed into a press call alongside former and current border patrol union representatives, calling out the VP for her role as "border czar". At the same time, Republicans in Congress sought to introduce a resolution condemning Harris for her work on the border during the Biden administration,...

    Billionaire Elon Musk is denying reports that said he is donating $45 million a month to a super PAC supporting former President Trump each month leading up to the November election. "What's been reported in the media is simply not true," Musk said in an interview with conservative commentator Jordan Peterson. "I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump."...The Tesla and SpaceX CEO followed up on his comments by saying on Tuesday that he does plan to make donations to America PAC but at a "much lower level."...Musk said he helped create America PAC, which he said would...

    For parts of three decades, Bob Costas was the television face of the Olympics in the United States, leading NBC’s coverage of 11 Games and talking Americans through celebration, scandal and even a bomb in Atlanta. Eight years after his last Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Costas believes the Games have lost some of the magic that once made them mandatory viewing. Maybe it’s because the past three Olympics were held in distant Asian time zones while America slept. Or perhaps it’s the sense that the two most recent Games, held in pandemic Tokyo and Beijing, seemed to happen less...

    Nearly a week ago President Joe Biden abruptly canceled a speaking engagement in Las Vegas after mingling with voters at a local Mexican restaurant... In light of the Biden administration's poor record of truth-telling when it comes to POTUS' medical condition, many people questioned whether that COVID diagnosis was a convenient way to get Biden out of the spotlight for a few days, or if there was more to the story. Based on the reporting of Charlie Kirk and Jordan Schachtel, portions of which were confirmed independently by RedState's Brittany Sheehan, and exclusive details provided to RedState by a well-placed...

  • Trump team files FEC complaint over transfer of Biden's $91M to Harris campaign: 'Brazen money grab'

    Former President Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday, accusing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of violating campaign finance laws by transferring his $91 million in fundraising cash to her new campaign. Biden bowed out of the presidential race on Sunday following weeks of calls for him to leave following a shaky debate performance. The president endorsed the vice president to run for the Democratic ticket in his place and transferred his millions of dollars in campaign cash over to her. The Trump campaign argued in the complaint, first reported by The...

    Conservatives have a strong case against Vice President Kamala Harris if they can avoid salaciousness and frame the issue properly. On Sunday, according to The San Francisco Standard, former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown held an impromptu news conference outside a restaurant in which he endorsed Harris as President Joe Biden’s replacement at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket. To put it mildly, Harris could have done without Brown’s endorsement. The establishment media, of course, will gloss over important details of his history with the vice president. For instance, the Standard noted merely that Brown “dated Harris when she...

    @brysondechambeau 12 hours ago (edited) I want to thank President Trump for coming on this episode of Break 50! It was an honor to play a round with the former president and raise a ton of money for the Wounded Warrior Project. This was all meant to be about golf, good fun, and supporting a great cause. I’ve also added the Wounded Warrior Project as a fundraiser on this video for those of you who would like to take part in giving back to our nation’s veterans as well! Edit: To confirm and clear any speculation, the Break 50 video...

    Dreams are absurd and unpredictable. However, while we each have our unique dream experiences, there’s a lot of commonality in what we dream about. Many of us share the same feelings of desire, nostalgia, and stress that are often the root cause of so many dreams — but why do we often get the same dream repeatedly? Here are the most common recurring dreams and what they might mean.Credit: shapecharge/ iStock Being ChasedMore than 50% of people experience these unpleasant dreams. Being chased in a dream may mean you’re avoiding something important in real life, or that you’re refusing to...

    The horrifying attack on an Australian tourist in Paris last weekend is just the latest alleged gang rape on the streets of the French capital. In the wake of the shocking news, Parisian women have revealed their safety fears, while police have voiced concerns in the run up to the Olympics. Following the brutal attack which has sent shockwaves through the city, MailOnline spoke to several women in Pigalle. The recurring response was one of disbelief and horror - and concern about the safety of being out on the city's streets after dark. Aurelia Desnot, a 21-year-old student, said: 'The...

    Just one day after the announcement of Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, his Department of Justice reported that it has located a transcript of a Biden interview that it previously said did not exist. The DOJ admitted to a federal judge Monday that there are, in fact, transcripts of Biden’s meetings with his biographer, Mark Zwonitzer, for Biden’s 2007 and 2017 memoirs... ... We don’t have some transcript that’s been created by the special counsel that we can attest to its accuracy,” Justice Department lawyer Cameron Silverberg said during a June 18 regarding a suit brought by...

    The other day, I was tooling around at the grocery store and, in line to check out, I noticed a clothes hamper in the shopping cart in front of me. I thought it was pretty nice. I said so to the person pushing the cart.Yes, I know it is awkward to strike up such conversations but I’m glad I did. I quickly found that the shopper was not buying for himself but for a customer of Instacart, an online ordering service. He was working and shopping as a customer himself.Intrigued, I asked other questions. He has a university degree, recently...

    The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump reminds us of how vulnerable American political leaders are to attacks with guns. In retrospect, all four of the assassinations of American presidents could easily have been avoided.President Abraham Lincoln was sitting in his box with his wife at Ford’s Theatre in Washington with no security at all, at the end of a terrible Civil War in which 750,000 Americans died in a population of 31 million, and the great animosity of that conflict had scarcely begun to subside. This was a particularly dreadful tragedy for the whole country, not only because...

    A month ago Joe Biden, at 81, was fit as a fiddle, sharp as a tack, and able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. Any dissent about these assertions was mere "ageism," you bigot!Now that Biden is out of the race, Trump is far too old to be president and should be rejected on that basis alone. You needn't even think about his supposed admiration for Hitler, plans for reeducation camps, and desire to round up MSNBC hosts. Sadly, Trump is just too old to be president. How times have changed. Very quickly. The mainstream media talking points...
