PITTSBURGH, PA — An apparent miracle occurred today as President Donald Trump, cooking up a McDonald's burger for the people of Pennsylvania, suddenly spotted the visage of President Ronald Reagan in his Big Mac Bun. "I was just about to put the Big Mac sauce on, you know that great sauce everybody loves, but I said wait just a minute -- there's a tremendous face there," said President Trump. "And wasn't it a beautiful face, everybody? Ronald Reagan, the great Ron himself, he was smiling back at me, which I totally expected, I knew he would love me. Good old...

Mayor Eric Adams’ hopes of beating his federal corruption rap could hinge on a unlikely savior: Donald Trump. A Trump win in the 2024 presidential election is viewed by some in Adams’ camp as potential path to legal victory for the mayor against an unprecedented federal indictment, sources close to the case told The Post. The insiders’ hopes are that Trump would quickly replace Attorney General Merrick Garland with a pick who could scuttle the case against Adams, sources close to the case told The Post. “Any adult will see this is a bulls–t case, so a new attorney general...

During her first FOX News interview with Bret Baier on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris responded to Donald Trump disputing her characterization that he is a "threat to democracy." She responded to a clip of Donald Trump's response to her attacks: BRET BAIER: Are they misguided, the [people who thin the country is going in the wrong direction]? Are they stupid? KAMALA HARRIS: I would never say that about the American people. And in fact, if you listen to Donald Trump, if you watch any of his rallies, he's the one who tends to demean, and belittle, and diminish the...

A man paragliding over Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza on Monday spotted the jaw-dropping sight of a barking dog atop the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World. The footage of the Egyptian landmark — built more than 4,500 years ago — shows Marshall Mosher soaring in the desert sky in a paramotor when he zooms in on the top of the pyramid to find a dog casually having his day. “A dog climbed all the way up the Great Pyramid of Giza!” Mosher wrote in amazement, with his clip going viral on Instagram. Many on the platform joked...

COACHELLA, Calif. (KABC) -- The Las Vegas man who was arrested with weapons outside a Trump rally in Southern California is suing for alleged defamation following claims from the local sheriff that his deputies thwarted a third assassination attempt against the former president. After the arrest, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said in a press conference and media interviews that deputies who prevented Vem Miller from entering the event in Coachella over the weekend "probably" stopped a "third assassination attempt." Miller denies those claims. The 49-year-old, who is believed to be associated with a "Sovereign Citizens" group, has since been...

An Albanian criminal who sneaked back into Britain after being deported has won the right to stay under the the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Ardit Binaj, 32, was freed six months into a two-and-a-half year jail sentence for burglary and deported as part of a prisoner transfer agreement with Albania. However, within months he re-entered Britain in breach of the deportation order to be with his Lithuanian girlfriend, who had leave to remain in the UK under the Government’s EU settlement scheme. They subsequently had a baby and married, enabling him to lodge his successful claim that an...

Donald Trump is so dependent on racial and ethnic antagonism that without it, he would be a marginal figure, relegated to the sidelines. Trump’s constant demonization of Black people and immigrants has inured the public to the fact that he is the first — or certainly the most explicit — modern president and party nominee to transparently generate, not to mention exacerbate, fear and white animosity toward people of color. Despite his appeal to a small if potentially crucial segment of Black and Hispanic men, racial bigotry has been central to Trump’s appeal from his initial quest, in 2015 and...

[Catholic Caucus] Australian archbishop: Synod on Synodality cannot ‘reinvent the Catholic faith’We cannot “reinvent the Catholic faith” or “teach a different Catholicism in different countries,” Australian Archbishop Anthony Fisher, OP, of Sydney and a delegate at the Synod on Synodality said in an interview this week.As the synodal assembly debates part 3 of the Instrumentum Laboris on “places,” the bishops and laypeople are considering questions such as the future of synodality and the role and authority of national bishops’ conferences, the archbishop told “EWTN News Nightly” on Oct. 15 in an interview to be broadcast Friday.Should bishops’ conferences “have the...

Metro was a senior at the time.

Vice President Kamala Harris recently sounded the alarm, claiming that Black men are being “brainwashed” by Russian operatives spreading disinformation. According to her, these foreign agents are working overtime to manipulate Black male voters, pushing false narratives to suppress their voices ahead of the 2024 election. If this sounds familiar, it’s because this is the latest iteration of the election interference saga that has dogged American politics since Harris seems convinced that Russian operatives are specifically targeting Black communities—especially Black men—hoping to diminish their turnout or sway their votes through misinformation… However, it’s a big leap to suggest that Black...

Donald Trump has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn’t stop the far-left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are “infected” with a “contagious disease” called “Authoritarian Violence Disorder” and that Trump “is a massive superspreader.” (I don’t link fake news meant to inspire assassins, which is what this obviously is.)

Donald Trump sought to present himself as the "father of IVF" on Wednesday (Oct 16), as he told an all-female audience at an election campaign event he supported a fertility treatment that Democrats say he has put under threat. The Republican candidate did not explain what he meant, but his remarks were the latest in a series of conflicting stances he has taken on reproductive rights, a key weakness in his push for the White House. "I want to talk about IVF. I'm the father of IVF, so I want to hear this question," Trump told Fox News in the...

Wow, Kamal is going for it.

Liam Payne has reportedly died after falling off a hotel balcony in Argentina. Eyewitnesses told TMZ that the Former One Direction star died Wednesday evening after plunging from the 4th floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was only 31 years old. SNIP TMZ published a photo of what appears to be Payne’s arm.

Synod proposal could give ‘doctrinal authority’ to local bishops’ conferencesBishops' conferences could essentially become the doctrine makers of their own local churches, thus completely undermining the unity of the Church.Synod members are discussing a proposal that would give bishops “doctrinal authority,” essentially having the Catholic Church break up into numerous different, often contradictory bodies.As the 300-plus members of the Synod on Synodality’s second session gather in the Paul VI Audience Hall, they began today the fourth of five modules of discussions that form part of the monthlong event.Between October 2 and October 27, the members are working through the Instrumentum...

Speaking with Tucker Carlson, political journalist Mark Halperin believes if Donald Trump wins back the presidency in three weeks, it will “cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.” Near the end of their two-hour discussion (which is well worth listening to), Carlson says, “Let’s say Trump wins three weeks from today. What happens? … As you said, a lot of Democrats believe that Trump becoming president is the worst thing that could ever happen.”

A Lancaster man has been taken into custody, facing allegations that he operated a drone to deliver narcotics, including fentanyl. One of the recipients died from an overdose, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Central District of California. Christopher Patrick Laney, 34, is facing a spectrum of charges, which includes the distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. Laney's indictment was announced today, after a grand jury decision on September 17 that was only recently unsealed. The indictment describes how Laney allegedly utilized an unregistered drone to make drug deliveries from his home to a church parking lot on January 17,...

"...Voting for candidates who are apt to start nuclear wars or depressions because you're afraid of getting pregnant is irrational. And the neocon cabal that has been running our country for the past four years is highly likely to do that. Or did you think that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had actually been running anything??"
