In the depths of the ocean, there are countless undiscovered shipwrecks. Ranging from old sailing vessels, to massive cargo haulers. Most of these wouldn't get even a bit of interest. However, when you limit yourself to *warships*, well, that changes. And in today's video, we'll be looking at another five missing wrecks. Consider this something of a sequel to the video I made a couple years back, after Nautilus visited Midway. In light of their upcoming Guadalcanal survey, this felt fitting.

"A Secret Service whistleblower has come forward with a shocking allegation: former President Joe Biden was so mentally impaired during his time in the White House that he would “get lost in his closet,” according to Sen. Josh Hawley. On Friday, Hawley revealed the disturbing claim as part of a broader accusation that Democrats engaged in a deliberate cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline—what he now calls one of the most egregious political scandals in modern presidential history."

Whoever ‘approved this mockery … should be called upon to resign,’ music composer says A doctoral student at the University of Nebraska recently orchestrated a drag performance appropriating the Catholic Mass for the final recital of his musical degree. The performance imitated various parts of the Mass, including the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. It was hosted by Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church of Lincoln, Nebraska. Two Catholic and conservative advocates told The College Fix that this “mockery” of their faith reveals a double standard in singling out Christianity and highlights a significant lack of academic rigor in university...

"Article III Project" founder Mike Davis and "War Room" host Steve Bannon comment on the role the Federalist Society and its chairman Leonard Leo played in the first Trump administration and how this term will be different.MIKE DAVIS: Yeah, when you have Leonard Leo taking over a billion dollars—I think it was like $1.6 billion—from a billionaire who gave him his fortune, Barre Seid, and then Leonard sat on the sidelines with all that money for three years of lawfare and didn’t support groups that were helping President Trump with the lawfare.He actually had guys out there like Ed Whelan,...

I came across this trailer last night for this film staring Neal McDonough. I haven't heard of it and it was released this month. I rarely watch films in theaters these days as there are so few modern films that are worth seeing. But this looks pretty good to me. Has anyone here seen it? Based on the comments for the trailer Neal McDonough is non-woke and is a good guy.

I loved Top Gun Maverick. I know this one is not as good, but is it still worth seeing at the movies?

As the ongoing court case with President Trump over the Kamala Harris pre-election interview continues, CBS and parent company Paramount Global are becoming more mired in trauma. This week, the announcement was that in their desire to end the process, and facilitate a pending corporate merger, Paramount was offering a $15 million settlement. Trump has rejected that outright. He has called for the sum to be $25 million, but that may not be the hitch in getting an agreement, given this is holding up the merger valued at roughly $8 billion. It appears that his demand for full retraction and...

Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has urged Washington’s chief negotiator with Moscow, Steve Witkoff, to consult European leaders before placing trust in Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Witkoff has been part of U.S. delegations leading talks with Moscow and Kyiv since February, after Trump tasked members of his administration to help negotiate an end to Russia’s three-year war in Ukraine. However, he has faced criticism from Kyiv for peddling Russian narratives, including a suggestion to hand over four partially occupied eastern Ukrainian regions to Moscow. In March, Witkoff said that Putin has no intention to “take all of...

The state is taking action against Leo Human Services following a KARE 11 investigation uncovering alleged forgeries and false billing claims.

According to sources, a stern President Trump took the Fed head, Jay Powell, to the woodshed yesterday during their Oval Office meeting.Mr. Trump wants the Fed to lower its target rate. And equally, of course, Mr. Powell has stubbornly avoided any policy changes.You know what? Mr. Trump is right.The latest inflation report out today shows the Fed’s favorite measure, the personal consumption deflator, has risen only 2.1 percent annually over the past three months, and the same 2.1 percent over the past 12 months.The Fed’s target is 2 percent.So, you would think Mr. Powell & Co. would at least be...

It isn’t Trump, it is ‘the people.’ American politics’ great irony is that Democrats hold populism in contempt. Definitionally, historically, and rhetorically, Democrats drape themselves in “the people.” Yet somehow, populism is now a pejorative for their party. The answer lies in the separation that populism implies and the other side of the divide, the elite, whom Democrats now embrace.Populus means “the people.” A populist is one who appeals to the people. In a democracy, being of and appealing to the people is hardly exceptional. It is a political fact of life.Even in a republic like ours, the people are...

Former US President Joe Biden delivered his first public address since the announcement of his Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, participating in a Memorial Day commemoration in his home state of Delaware on Friday. Speaking to reporters following the event, Biden addressed his health and his decision not to seek re-election in 2024. Biden firmly dismissed any concerns regarding his cognitive and physical fitness. "You can see that I‘m mentally incompetent and I can‘t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them," he quipped in response to a reporter's query about discussions surrounding his health during...

The terror group has agreed to a partial hostage release but calls for a permanent truce, aid access, and Israeli military pullout.The Hamas terrorist group said Saturday it had issued a formal response to a U.S.-backed cease-fire proposal that would pause the war in Gaza for at least 60 days and secure the release of about half of the remaining hostages.The group said in a statement issued on its Telegram channel on May 31 that, under the deal, it will release 10 living hostages and 18 bodies in return for Israel’s release of an “agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners.”Hamas’s announcement...

Democrats launch $20 million quest to win over male voters by studying liberal men in their native habitats.The New York Times, a former newspaper, has obtained a document from the Democrat party outlining their plan to spend $20 million in an effort to win back male voters. The effort is being hailed as a continuation of the great Democrat tradition of wasting money without even beginning to solve a problem created by their own stupid ideas. The document, entitled “How to Make Toxic Men Love Us Even As we Castrate their Sons and Turn Their Women into Fractious Whores,” includes...

A pro-energy group scrutinized eight of former President Joe Biden's executive orders which pertained to climate and energy issues, but their research found no evidence that Biden ever spoke publicly about the contents of the climate change-oriented EOs. The group also asserts that the signatures on the EOs match Biden's autopen signature instead of his genuine signature, thus calling into question whether the president ever knew about the executive orders. Power the Future, the organization who examined the orders, is now urging investigations from multiple bodies to determine if Biden knew of the executive orders and, if not, who did,...

How could it not raise eyebrows? Donald Trump is set to invest some $5.5 billion in Qatar, according to news reports, and he’s just received a $400 million jet from the Qataris.This is the same Qatar that unabashedly hosted Hamas leaders, and funds the terror organization into the billions of dollars. It’s the same oil-rich country that is bankrolling Al Jazeera, a channel virtually synonymous with Jihadist propaganda, and that is also being sued for having alleged terror ties. To top it off, Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister has a history of pro-Hamas tweets.Yet, if Qatar’s place in the world could...

If the judicial branch won’t adhere to the Constitution, then Trump must.The leftist-backed effort to effectively nullify the results of the 2024 presidential election via a judicial coup is destroying the country’s constitutional order. But according to the White House, President Trump doesn’t have any actual plans to stop it. During Thursday’s White House press briefing, Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway had the opportunity to ask Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about how the administration intends to rein in “rogue lower court judges” grinding the administration’s policies to a halt with overreaching injunctions and temporary restraining orders. After noting the Supreme Court...

Most people slow down with age, trading suits and deadlines for slippers and daytime TV. Not Dr. Howard Tucker. The Cleveland-born neurologist treated patients for nearly eight decades, earning the Guinness World Record title for oldest practicing doctor just before his 99th birthday. Now 102, Tucker may have hung up his white coat, but he hasn’t hit the brakes. He spends his days lecturing future doctors at Case Western Reserve University and consulting on medical-legal cases — thanks to the law degree he picked up at the age of 67. Oh, and he’s gone viral on TikTok while promoting What’s...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said on Friday she agrees with President Donald Trump’s call to eliminate the debt limit, urging bipartisan action to scrap it permanently. In a post on X, Warren wrote: “@realDonaldTrump and I agree: the debt limit should be scrapped to prevent an economic catastrophe.” “Let’s pass a bipartisan bill and get rid of it forever,” she added. The senator also said “jacking up the debt limit by $4 trillion to fund more tax breaks for billionaires is an outrage,” in an attack on a GOP-backed tax bill to enact Trump’s priorities. Warren’s post cited comments Trump...
