The Democrats “misplaced” yet another 1.9 BILLION DOLLARS of your money, America, but they’re howling at DOGE.👇🏼

The drumbeats of war are getting louder. Recent U.S. intelligence reports suggest that Israel is inching closer to launching strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, particularly the heavily fortified Fordow and Natanz sites. If this happens, it could redefine the balance of power in the Middle East–at least for a while. But why now? What has changed to make such an audacious move not only plausible but, in the eyes of Israeli leadership, necessary?

Wall Street’s defense of its DEI initiatives suddenly got a lot more complicated. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, a longtime advocate of diversity and using bank resources to aid minority communities, told employees this past week during a town hall that he "was never a firm believer in bias training" and had questions about money being spent on certain DEI programs. "I saw how we were spending money on some of this stupid shit, and it really pissed me off," Dimon said, according to a recording of the town hall obtained by Yahoo Finance. "I’m just going to cancel them....

In Britain under moonbat rule, basic public safety is sacrificed for the sake of pandering obsequiously to the Islamic colonists the government has imported to displace the native population yet again: Police released a mugshot of a woman convicted of terrorism offences wearing a niqab – after she complained an earlier custody image showed her without a head covering. The niqab hides her face, completely defeating the purpose of the mugshot. But the proper mugshot caused her “distress” according to her lawyer. Jurors heard Farishta Jami, 36, had been preparing to travel to Afghanistan with her children, planning for them...

Explanation: Here comes Jupiter. NASA's robotic spacecraft Juno is continuing on its highly elongated orbits around our Solar System's largest planet. The featured video is from perijove 11 in early 2018, the eleventh time Juno passed near Jupiter since it arrived in mid-2016. This time-lapse, color-enhanced movie covers about four hours and morphs between 36 JunoCam images. The video begins with Jupiter rising as Juno approaches from the north. As Juno reaches its closest view -- from about 3,500 kilometers over Jupiter's cloud tops -- the spacecraft captures the great planet in tremendous detail. Juno passes light zones and dark...

The entirety of the lower 48 states, the greater Americas, and some regions beyond will witness — weather permitting — a total lunar eclipse the night of March 13 and into the early morning of March 14.

Long, red wavelengths of light pass through Earth's atmosphere and are projected onto the moon in majestic rusty or crimson colors. The coming total lunar eclipse, now less than a month away, is the first to grace Earth since 2022.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Ukraine has little chance of surviving Russia's assault without U.S. support, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday after phone calls this week by U.S. President Donald Trump with Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin."Probably it will be very, very, very difficult.

Egg prices in the United States have reached record highs, with the average price of a dozen Grade A eggs hitting $4.95 in January 2025, the highest on record. This surge in prices is primarily due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, which has significantly impacted the poultry industry. Since the bird flu outbreak began in 2022, over 100 million chickens have been culled to prevent the spread of the virus. This extensive culling has resulted in a significant reduction in the population of egg-laying chickens, leading to a shortage in egg supply and subsequently driving up prices.

Zelenskyy spoke with NBC News in an hour-long interview that covered a range of topics on the war, his thoughts on President Donald Trump's role in ending the conflict, and more. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat down with "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker to discuss potential talks to end Russia's war against Ukraine, his conversations with President Donald Trump, the future of NATO, and more.

Trump is well aware that Zelensky does not want peace, and neither does Europe. They want World War III and have been trying to scheme to invoke Article 5 to try to force Trump to send troops to invade Russia. European officials now realize they will have to cover the cost of postwar security and cannot count on the USA funding their warmongering ways. They will have to cough up the costs Zelensky has been demanding to line his pockets for the reconstruction of Ukraine. The European Press has done nothing but promote war. They constantly claim that if Ukraine...

Anyone watching?? Not a NASCAR fan (i like open wheel) but wanted to see our President. Any and every time they show him or mention his name the crowd and drivers go crazy.

They just showed him saluting the flag during the anthem and the crowd and drivers went nuts. A lot of smiles on the grid when they showed him.

President Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is the congenial dealmaker for the very brash dealmaker-in-chief. -snip- Associates describe Witkoff, 67, as something of a velvet glove when it comes to negotiating — smooth and to the point. Witkoff helped persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to release U.S. teacher Marc Fogel on Monday, after talks in Moscow. Witkoff played a key role in getting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire-and-hostages deal with Hamas last month. He's also Trump's point man for talks the president wants to have with Iran to try to reach a new nuclear deal...
