Democrats and media have been going all in to demonize former President Donald Trump as we count down to the election. We see that in the constant drumbeat of bad press for him and positive press for Kamala Harris, for example. Anything Trump or his running mate, JD Vance, says is somehow twisted into something they didn't actually say to make them look bad. The Dems and legacy media look desperate at this point. It's pretty clear that a lot of the public is able to see around the manic narrative, and that's why Democrats have to be nervous at...

They say we should catch flights and not feelings—but whoever said that probably doesn’t realize how expensive airline tickets actually are. In a clip that has amassed 1.1 million views, TikToker Mandi (@mandi_martinez11) filmed herself booking two sets of flights on the American Airlines website: One as a round-trip, and the other as two separate tickets. She accompanied the video with a caption that read: “POV: You learned that booking flights separately is cheaper than booking them together.” And as the subtitle implies, that’s exactly what her TikTok shows.

For the first time, humans aren’t producing enough babies to sustain the populationFor anyone tempted to try to predict humanity’s future, Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book The Population Bomb is a cautionary tale. Feeding on the then popular Malthusian belief that the world was doomed by high lbirth rates, Ehrlich predicted: “In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death.” He came up with drastic solutions, including adding chemicals to drinking water to sterilize the population.Ehrlich, like many others, got it wrong. What he needed to worry about was declining birth rates and population collapse. Nearly sixty...

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office is investigating the circumstances that led to the arrest of a French Valley woman in the early hours of July 4. The arrest is the subject of a video containing profanity circulating online showing a deputy refusing to leave the woman's residence despite her requests. According to the video, a minor answered the door after the deputy rang the bell. Captions in the video say the minor closed the door after seeing the deputy, only for the deputy to open the door and let himself in. [snip] "Now that I'm inside your house, I own...

WASHINGTON — President Biden was so hellbent on getting out of Afghanistan that he rebuked any advice to the contrary, ignored the pleas of the Afghan government and disregarded objections from US allies. That was the one of the main takeaways from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s more than two-year investigation into America’s chaotic, deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a blistering report released Sunday. “During his decades-long tenure as a Delaware US senator, eight years as vice president of the United States and nearly four years as president, Mr. Biden has demonstrated distrust of America’s military experts and advisors and...

California State Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil is facing a civil lawsuit filed by her ex-chief of staff who alleges the senator forced him to do sexual favors while she was his boss and he suffered a back injury because of it. Alvardo-Gil, who represents parts of Eastern California and the Central Valley, recently changed her party affiliation from Democratic to Republican. Her former chief of staff, Chad Condit, filed the civil lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court on Thursday. The lawsuit includes allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation and violations of other state labor laws.

Baseball Hall of Famer and former Yankee Wade Boggs has prostate cancer. He made the announcement Saturday night on social media and sounded optimistic, saying he will be ready to take part in the ritual cancer patients have of ringing a bell when they’ve concluded their treatment. “With the strength and support of my family and my faith in God, I’m going to ring that damn bell,” Boggs wrote, adding a photo of a prostate cancer patient guide.

There's been an inversion now where the Republican Party has become the party of the common man, of working people, of the middle class, and the Democratic Party has become the party of Wall Street, the Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, BigAg, Big Tech, the Big Banking Systems and all of what @realDonaldTrump calls the Deep State.

The cliché about politics making for strange bedfellows may seem too tired to trot out, but The Babylon Bee reenergized it this week with their headline, “‘Maybe We Took A Wrong Turn Somewhere,’ Thinks Party Whose Candidate Just Got Endorsed By Dick Cheney And Vladimir Putin.” It’s almost as strange and funny as the fact that Republicans now have Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in their corner. But as funny as all this is for those who have been around for a while, what these seemingly odd endorsements give us is a knowledge about how things are shaking out in this...

Earlier, we told you how Tim Walz lied about gay marriage and got wrecked for it. Walz's assertion anyone is going to ban gay marriage is laughable. Donald Trump was pro-gay marriage before Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and Obergefell made it the law of the land in 2015. But Walz didn't stop at gay marriage. At the same dinner, he said it was illegal to be gay in Nebraska, where he grew up and that it's still illegal today. Watch: What a pathetic little man. Because this writer has more integrity than the Democratic nominee for Vice President, she...

James Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony Soprano remains one of the greatest TV performances of the last 25 years, but working on the show day in and day out proved extremely taxing for the gifted actor. James Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony Soprano remains one of the greatest TV performances of the last 25 years, but working on the show day in and day out proved extremely taxing for the gifted actor. "Every other day, we would go to a bar. We would have the exact same conversation,” Van Zandt explained. “We would get drunk. He’d say, ‘I’m done. I’m not going...

Google prohibits ads with the image of Donald Trump. Change the image to Kamala Harris and it works. Election interference. "Google, you guys are nasty people."

A report from the Washington Post, confirmed by the Associated Press, claims the alleged Apalachee High School attacker’s mother warned the school of an “extreme emergency” half an hour before shots rang out. The Associated Press (AP) reported that the 14-year-old attacker’s aunt, Annie Brown, said the boy’s mom “spoke with a school counselor and urged them to ‘immediately’ find her son to check on him.” The Tennessee Star noted that the Post zeroed in on text messages that “show that the school and family were in contact about [the mental health of the 14-year-old].”

Selling Michael Jordan’s ultra-personalized compound has been anything but a slam dunk. The massive home has remained on the market for 12 years and slash its price twice. Jordan made his mark on the Chicago area estate: His name is painted on the basketball court, flags wave with his Air Jordan logo, and his jersey number adorns the gate, according to the Wall Street Journal. Jordan first listed the mansion at 2700 Point Lane in Highland Park, Illinois for $29 million in 2012, chopping it down to $16 million in 2014, and to $14.9 million in 2015, Compass shows.

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has discovered a small planet that displays peculiar orbital motion. The shimmying planet, located 455 light-years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be considerably more complex than researchers have previously thought.The newly discovered planet TOI-1408c has a mass equivalent to eight Earths and circles very close to a larger planet, the hot gas giant TOI-1408b. After starting to study both planets and their star, TOI-1408, in detail, the researchers felt puzzled. The small planet has a very peculiar orbital motion. The interactions between the two planets and their star can...

Former Democrat and Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made the case that the Republican Party has become the party of ordinary American. Kennedy joined Tucker Carlson and Vivek Ramaswamy at Tucker’s Live Tour event on Thursday. Kennedy was given a standing ovation from the pro-American crowd. Posting on the X platform, Kennedy said that the GOP under Trump’s effective leadership had become “the party of the common man” against the elitist Democrats. “There’s been an inversion now where the Republican Party has become the party of the common man, of working people, of the middle class, and...

The image is a composite. 2M1207b orbits the brown dwarf from almost twice as far as Neptune does from the sun, but in the image, the planet appears positioned close to its star. The data used to capture it comes from three near-infrared exposures in different wavebands. It's a technique used to produce images for public consumption, but more importantly, to locate exoplanets around stars. That's because infrared data lessens the huge brightness difference between a star and a planet, making the latter easier to find.It was produced using the 27-foot (8.2 meters) Yepun telescope — part of the Very...

“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo was hoodwinked into dipping into her own pocketbook to pay reparations to a black producer in podcaster Matt Walsh’s upcoming documentary “Am I Racist?” An undercover, man-bun-wearing Walsh, 38, goaded DiAngelo into ponying up cash to his producer named Ben to compensate for the sins of the past by first coughing up the money himself. Walsh, who had been conducting an interview with DiAngelo for a documentary project while feigning anti-racist sentiments and posing as an activist,*** “This is Ben, a producer on the film. I thought it would be a powerful opportunity to speak...
