    An Arizona college professor allegedly made his students to strip in front of him and their classmates, flirted with several coeds and forced them to watch orgy porn, all during class, according to a shocking investigative report. Mace Archer, 56, a drama teacher at Mesa Community College, is currently under investigation for the allegations by school officials, according to the damning report written by the Arizona Republic. But students accused the college of ignoring their complaints of inappropriate behavior by the professor for months before the probe was opened

    Paul said he refuses to support "maintaining Biden spending levels," and Musk said the Trump-backed tax bill is "a disgusting abomination."The intra-Republican fight over the future of a major tax and borrowing bill intensified on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump lashed out and former White House favorite Elon Musk offered a sharp criticism of the proposal. The whole thing played out, as today's political dramas so often do, in a series of posts on social media. Trump slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) in a Tuesday morning post on Truth Social that accused the senator of having "very little understanding" of...

    According to the US special envoy for Ukraine, the US is trying to keep risks down and prevent the conflict from expandingNEW YORK, June 3. /TASS/. Ukraine’s recent strikes on Russian military airfields sharply raised the level of risk in the Ukraine conflict, said US special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg. "I'm telling you, the risk levels are going way up," he said on Fox News. "People have to understand, in the national security space, when you attack an opponent's part of their national survival system, which is their triad, the nuclear triad, that means your risk level goes up...

    Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the pardons granted by Joe Biden to family members and death row inmates which were signed by “autopen” in the final hours of his presidency. On Monday, a senior official in the justice department told staff that he was investigating pardons granted by the former president, and whether Mr Biden was “competent” at the time. In an email to staff, obtained by Reuters, Ed Martin, a controversial Trump loyalist, said his investigation would look at whether Mr Biden “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of autopen or...

    A 23-year-old Texas man was arrested early Tuesday morning for trespassing after he scaled the wall at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a federally protected property. Anthony Reyes told police he jumped over the wall so he could “marry” President Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump. President Trump, who was in DC at the time of the breach, has been briefed on the incident. This is the second time Anthony Reyes has been caught trespassing on the Mar-a-Lago property.

    Back in 1969, very close to the Year Zero of the modern "feminist" movement, an activist named Carol Hanisch penned an essay titled, "The Personal is Political," whose neo-communist, collectivist slogan was later weaponized by the former Lady Macbeth of Little Rock, now Dowager Empress of Chappaqua, Hillary Clinton. Although unfocused, unreadable, poorly argued, and couched (of course) in the language of "therapy," it served as the opening salvo of the anti-family, anti-"patriarchy" Left against postwar American society. Hanisch writes:The paper, “The Personal Is Political,” was originally published in Notes from the Second Year: Women’s Liberation in 1970 and was...

    …In the days since special counsel Robert Hur released a report that described Biden’s memory as “significantly limited,” presidential appointees and friendly lawmakers have been stepping forward one by one to attest to his acuity. Biden asks “pertinent questions” and cares about “minute details,” they’ve told news outlets. He is “very engaging” and detail-oriented. The White House went so far as to put out a memo name-checking senior officials from both parties who’ve said they found Biden to be mentally sharp. For all the people vouching for Biden, some prominent Democrats aren’t persuaded that the approach will ease concerns about...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday officially asked Congress to claw back $9.4 billion in already approved spending, taking funding away from programs targeted by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.It’s a process known as “rescission,” which requires President Donald Trump to get approval from Congress to return money that had previously been appropriated. Trump’s aides say the funding cuts target programs that promote liberal ideologies. The request, if it passes the House and Senate, would formally enshrine many of the spending cuts and freezes sought by DOGE. It comes at a time when Musk is extremely unhappy...

    EAGAN, Minn. — When Jim Marshall wrapped his final home game at Metropolitan Stadium in December 1979, he was encouraged to address the fans.He humbly said, "I just hope I've given you as many thrills as you fans have given me. Thank you."Marshall then placed his helmet back on his head and jogged to teammates. They enveloped him with hugs and pats before Scott Studwell and Doug Sutherland hoisted him into the air for another thrill ride off the field.It was the 269th of 270 consecutive regular-season starts for Minnesota by Marshall, whose record-setting career certainly featured thrills over 20...

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized his own party for failing to “handle the border appropriately” and said that thousands of illegal aliens allowed in under the Biden administration was “unacceptable.” During a discussion with Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) at the Senate Project, which was co-hosted by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute and the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation, Fetterman cast support behind President Donald Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill and the “roughly $150 billion” that would be go towards securing the United States southern border, focusing on illegal immigration, the Hill reported. “If I had to find something in that, the...

    Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is up for reelection this year, garnered backlash Tuesday after vetoing a bill aimed at preventing China from buying up land next to strategic assets, such as military bases. Arizona state Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp said the "politically motivated veto" was "utterly insane," blaming Hobbs for being "an obstructionist against safeguarding our citizens from threats." However, Hobbs said the bill, S.B. 1109, was "ineffective at counter-espionage" and did not "directly protect" American military assets in the state. Chinese investment in land near military bases has become an increasing concern for national security hawks....
