During a recent appearance on Gavin Newsom’s podcast, failed Democrat VP candidate Tim Walz made the bombastic and ridiculous claim that he could ‘kick the a**es’ of most Trump supporters. One Trump supporter has offered to take Walz up on his challenge. Glenn Jacobs, the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee and WWE legend known as “Kane” has issued a challenge to the diminutive bloviator to a charity wrestling match dubbed “Tennessee Walz” Jacobs shared on X, “All joking aside,@GovTimWalz, let’s put our money where our mouth is…in a charity wrestling match.” “We’ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen...

The Justice Department is in the midst of an urgent and chaotic effort to review sensitive materials from the FBI investigation into the convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, with Attorney General Pam Bondi pushing the FBI and her own department to release more files from the case amid continued pressure from President Donald Trump's supporters, multiple sources told ABC News. As many as a thousand FBI agents, many of whom are usually focusing on national security matters, have been enlisted to help with the effort, sources said.

To some longtime Bay Area residents, El Cerrito is just another bedroom community — the type of suburb with little to distinguish it beyond two BART stations, a large stock of midcentury modern homes and a relatively low crime rate. But in a metro area with one of the nation’s highest percentages of LGBTQ adults, few towns are more queer-friendly than this idyllic burg of about 25,000 just north of Berkeley. At a time when President Donald Trump is waging a culture war on LGBTQ rights, especially those of transgender people, El Cerrito has become a trailblazer in local queer...

3.21.25 Biased PBS News hour interviewed Christopher of Princeton University about Columbia U agreeing to push back on Antisemitism and changes on "research" regarding Israel-Palestine. He wrote in the Atlantic about "academic freedom.: Two main aspects were missing from the conversation: 1. Qatar [Hanas' hosts] bribing universities. 2. Anti freedom atmosphere by violent Arab "palestine" activists intimidating students and professors. (Asides from long record of neo-nazi propaganda pusher Joseph Massad methods).

Teachers unions and Democratic politicians joined in denouncing Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at eliminating the US Department of Education, with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) saying simply: “See you in court.” Trump’s move was long trailed, so much so that Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT – which represents 1.8 million teachers – put out her statement the day before the order was signed. Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers, which represents 200,000 members, teachers and other education workers mostly in New York City, said: “We will join our national union and public education...

When the media omit the facts that matter most, it’s clear that they are more interested in undermining the Trump administration than informing the public about threats America faces.. The propaganda press continues to play fast and loose with the truth, and nowhere is that more apparent than in their coverage of the Trump administration’s efforts to detain yet another terrorist sympathizer living in the United States. This time, it’s Badar Khan Suri, a man with ties to a senior Hamas official — but you wouldn’t necessarily glean that from the deliberately misleading headlines and articles. “Trump is seeking to...

Tesla owners across America are living in fear of having their EVs trashed by activists lashing out at CEO Elon Musk’s controversial DOGE efficiency drive that has cost thousands of federal jobs. But even drivers whose Teslas aren’t targeted by vandals could find themselves with a nasty shock further down the line. Insurers are warning that the attacks could raise premiums for all Tesla drivers and potentially even lead to cars like the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck being blacklisted by insurance companies

President Trump promised Friday to personally cover overtime pay for astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after they were stranded in space for 286 days — spanning both the 47th president and former President Joe Biden’s terms. “If I have to, I’ll pay it out of my own pocket,” Trump, 78, told Fox News’ Peter Doocy when asked about the astronauts who were trapped at the International Space Station since June 2024. Doocy pointed out that NASA had agreed to cover just $5 per day in incidentals for the cosmic crew, amounting to roughly $1,430 in possible back pay.

At his request, I met with Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney today. We had a very frank discussion in which I made it clear that Albertans will no longer tolerate the way we've been treated by the federal Liberals over the past 10 years. I provided a specific list of demands the next Prime Minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis. This includes:....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States, according to a Federal Register notice on Friday, the latest expansion of his crackdown on immigration. It will be effective April 24. The move cuts short a two-year "parole" granted to the migrants under former President Joe Biden that allowed them to enter the country by air if they had U.S. sponsors. Trump, a Republican, took steps to ramp up immigration enforcement after taking office, including a push to deport record numbers of migrants in the...

Fair proceedings free from any suggestion of impartiality are essential to the integrity ofour country’s judiciary and the need to curtail ongoing improper encroachments of President Trump’s Executive Power playing out across the country. In this case, reasonable observers may well view this Court as insufficiently impartial to adjudicate the meritless challenges to President Trump’s efforts to implement the agenda that the American people elected him to carry out. In fact, this Court has repeatedly demonstrated partiality against and animus towards the President. Examples include this Court enabling the improper efforts of disgraced former prosecutor Jack Smith despite a readily...

A Startling AdmissionThe study was meant to debunk "Russian disinformation" by testing how the Ukrainian public perceives certain claims, including the presence of Nazi ideology in Ukraine. But instead of proving such claims to be "false," the survey found that a significant portion of the Ukrainian population itself believes that Nazism is a real and widespread issue in their country.A recent study conducted by VoxUkraine, with support from the International Renaissance Foundation, sought to analyze the Ukrainian public's ability to identify "Russian propaganda narratives." However, in doing so, the survey inadvertently revealed a striking reality: 33% of Ukrainians in cities...

WASHINGTON — Former aides to Joe Biden and other Democratic flacks were aghast Friday following a report that the 46th president recently met with party bosses to offer to put himself back in the spotlight and boost the ailing party’s image and fundraising. Biden, 82, and wife Jill sat down with newly elected Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin last month to pitch themselves for a revamped campaigning effort, according to NBC News. Recent public polling shows Democrats’ support has cratered, with less than one-third of Americans approving of the party’s performance since President Trump returned to the White House...

A new bill requires parents to report themselves to their local school district, and parents who do not will be considered truant.. Homeschool parents would face fines, misdemeanor charges and even jail time if they do not report themselves to local public school officials, under a new proposal from Illinois Democrats. Parents also would be required to provide public school officials with a “portfolio” of their children’s work at any time, at any interval and frequency, until that portfolio meets the public school’s satisfaction. The bill, dubbed the “Homeschool Act,” requires parents to report themselves in writing to local school...

After making a show of deference to Donald Trump in the wake of deadly Los Angeles County wildfires earlier this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom appears to be back to challenging the federal government on climate change policies. Newsom announced Friday that his administration will launch satellite-mounted sensors to track emissions of methane, an odorless gas pollutant that is a major contribution to global warming, making good on a promise originally made by former Gov. Jerry Brown.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared Canada “the most European” nation outside the continent and has identified three foundational “peoples” for Canada — Indigenous, French and British. Carney chose to make his first trip as prime minister to Europe, seeking to strengthen ties with traditional allies, including France and the United Kingdom, amidst rising tensions between Canada and the United States. “I want to ensure that France and the whole of Europe works enthusiastically with Canada, the most European of non-European countries,” Carney said Monday. “Canada is a reliable, trustworthy and strong partner for France.” Carney met with French President...
