    Another week of contrasts between the American Giant and the Virtual Candidate. Stifling of free speech remains in full force in Great Britain and attempts continue by the worst power-hungry leaders in Europe to extend their self-serving censorship here. Last Monday, Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the EU internal market, warned Elon Musk that the planned Musk-Trump interview could run afoul of the EU’s overreaching online censorship laws. Musk ignored the warning of Mr. Thierry, a man who is the very avatar of “Eurotrash.” (Musk has been threatened by a variety of autocrats around the world for refusing to bow to...

    the woke DEI disease has claimed yet another victim—this time, it’s the all-American motorcycle company Harley-Davidson. They’ve gone from easy riders to progressive pukes faster than you can say “born to ride,” all thanks to their uber-woke German CEO, Jochen Zeitz. He’s now admitting that he took the job at this legendary American brand in order to turn an iconic symbol into a DEI wasteland. Think Bud Light on wheels .… CEO Jochen Zeitz admits that he took the Harley job because it was an opportunity to transform an American icon into embracing wokeness and DEI. ... He said this...
  • Trump tears into ‘Comrade Kamala’s’ socialist price-control plan: ‘Full Communist’

    Donald Trump on Saturday ripped Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries, saying she’s gone “full Communist.” The Republican presidential nominee compared economic proposals to reduce inflation that “Comrade Kamala” announced a day earlier – which includes cracking down on price gouging – to infamously failed communist plans pushed in Venezuela and the former Soviet Union. “In her speech yesterday, Kamala went full Communist …” Trump told a packed house of supporters at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala...

    In an interview this week, Jimmy Kimmel conceded that the end is nigh for late-night talk shows. “I don’t know if there will be any late-night television shows on network TV in 10 years,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host said. “Maybe there’ll be one but there won’t be a lot of them.” Jimmy’s right. The culling has already commenced. After James Corden departed “The Late Late Show” in 2023, CBS didn’t kick off a dramatic “Late Shift”-style talent search of yesteryear — the network brass replaced it with a comedy game show called “After Midnight.” Nobody shed a single tear....
  • Switzerland offers cash prize to get munitions out of lakes

    Some munitions are at depths of 150 to 220 metres, but others in Lake Neuchatel are just six or seven metres below the surface. Now, the Swiss defence department is offering 50,000 francs (£45,000) in prize money for the best idea to get it out. The munitions pose two risks, he said. First, despite the fact it is underwater, there is still a risk of explosion, because in many cases "the army did not remove the fuses before dumping the munition".

    Sublethal developed the non-lethal remote-control gun that fires standard .68 caliber paintballs with solid nylon bullets or pepper balls. "The remote gun will not autonomously shoot anyone. The gun is controlled either from a control center or from the user's cellphone. Either way, there is a human who decides when to shoot."

    I've been a fan of watching YouTube accounts of Near Death Experiences lately. There are certain common elements: Leaving your physical body and observing people operating on them. In some cases, people were able to leave that location and see other people and places. One young lady left the operating room, travelling through walls, and went to find her father in the hospital.There is, of course, the tunnel you travel through and the bright light at the end of it.There, TO A PERSON, they describe a Life Review of all your significant actions, but not from your perspective, but how...

    There was no ice at Giant. There was no ice at CVS. And Malia Blake was getting anxious. Her new side hustle, intended to help her climb out of debt, was inspired by a woman she saw on TikTok do this to pay for pharmacy school. It depended on four ingredients: ice, water, sweetener and lemons. With her SUV filled with tables, bags of lemons she got from Costco and flavored syrups she bought off Amazon, Blake pulled into a 7-Eleven parking lot in Southeast Washington and ran inside. Tucked in the back of the store was a freezer. “Yay,...

    On August 16, 1977, the devastating news that the King of Rock ’n’ Roll had died. I, although just a wee thing, remember my mother and aunt besides themselves, sobbing over a copy of the Daily Mirror. All over the World his death had a profound impact on culture. He had been, and still remains today, one of the most influential characters in the history of popular culture. Not only was his music groundbreaking (before Elvis, Billy Connolly describes all music as being ‘beige’), but his charm, style and swagger permeated Western Culture and brought out the envy in other...

    Attendees at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago will have the opportunity to receive free vasectomies and abortions blocks away from the proceedings at the United Center. Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which operates in parts of Missouri and Illinois, will park its mobile health clinic near the DNC on Aug. 19 and Aug. 20, according to The New York Times. Medication abortions are reportedly available on both days, with vasectomies being exclusively offered Monday. Appointments on the vasectomy vehicle are in high demand, with eager registrants forming a waitlist, according to the outlet. Those hoping to be sterilized must...

    France has expelled a "radical" imam who made "unacceptable remarks" about the country's flag, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has said. Mahjoub Mahjoubi appeared to call the French flag "satanic" in a video that went viral online earlier this week. Mahjoub Mahjoubi, who hails from Tunisia but came to France 38 years ago, was an imam at the Ettaouba mosque in the small town of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, in the south of France. He was arrested earlier this week after a video circulated online showing him describing a "tricolour flag" as "satanic" and saying it has "no value with Allah". The imam said...

    You’re tripping if you want to visit this tourist hotspot. A Gen Z travel influencer who has ventured to 190 of the world’s 193 countries says Egypt is among the most overrated places on the planet. Luca Pferdmenges, 22, made the bold claim in an interview with the Daily Mail on Saturday, with the declaration sure to dash the hopes of those who have long dreamed of seeing the pyramids and sailing down the Nile. The German explorer has racked up 2.9 million TikTok followers and some serious air miles by filming travel videos around the globe, but he won’t...

    A Texas Monthly article published in 2008 took Reynolds, the incumbent district attorney, to task for a relatively low prosecution rate for cases of drug trafficking, theft, assault and robbery brought to his office by law enforcement. More than a decade ago, he faced scrutiny for letting a sex abuse case at a state-run school languish. It was ultimately taken over by the attorney general at the time, Greg Abbott, who is now the governor. After that scandal, Reynolds faced an opponent in the Democratic primary and won. He has not been opposed since.

    Just a random question, but relevant for some of us older workers. Hypothetical situation, if a business fires you or lays you off, but they realized after that you had knowledge about the business, like a combination to a safety that nobody else had, can they legally make you give it up to them?

    The future of a Montgomery County Republican's position within his party is unclear after he said he is not going to vote for candidate Donald Trump – and encouraged others in the party to not vote for him as well. "I just wanted to do anything that I could that, you know, would prevent another Trump term," Matthew McCaffery, the Republican municipal chair in Upper Merion Township, told NBC10 political reporter Lauren Mayk. McCaffery's words have created some drama in Montgomery County as he said he will be voting for the Democratic nominee in the upcoming election in November. He...
