U.S. — As the American people sat back helplessly and watched a once-close relationship fall apart, a judge issued a ruling that President Donald Trump would get the nation on weekdays, while Elon Musk would get it every other weekend and on holidays. The tumultuous split of the previously happy billionaires grabbed headlines this week, culminating in both parties going to court to seek a fair custody agreement of the United States of America. "We got a good deal, though I do believe the nation belongs with me," Trump told reporters after the judge's ruling was announced. "A president is...

Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” former President Bill Clinton defended former President Joe Biden’s 2024 debate performance by blaming the staff for his travel schedule. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “Mr. President, I want to ask you, last time you were here, you were actually fiercely defender of President Biden’s when people were questioning whether he should stay in the race and when he decided to step aside. You praised his decision to do so. t]There have now been a lot of reports, books written with Democratic sources talking about what appeared to be decline while he was in the...

President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at Elon Musk as their feud rapidly ramped up, calling him “CRAZY” and suggesting that he may terminate the Tesla CEO’s government contracts. Trump in a bitter Truth Social post wrote that Musk was “wearing thin” by the end of his tenure leading the president’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. “I asked him to leave,” Trump claimed. The angry swipe came after Musk blasted the president amid an escalating clash that stemmed from the mega-billionaire’s vocal opposition to Trump’s massive tax-cut bill. Trump earlier Thursday said Musk was “upset” that the budget...

Space.com reported: “ISpace’s private Resilience Lander will attempt to touch down on the Mare Frigoris region of the moon’s surface on June 5, at 3:17 p.m. EDT (1817 GMT). […]

Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY! The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!

President Trump said Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are similar to children fighting on a playground and that more time may be needed before “pulling them apart.” “Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled,” Trump told reporters while hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office. “Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart. And I gave that analogy to Putin...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer It’s heating up. Will be interesting to see what Republican lawmakers do now. I know law makers who are asking if they should side with President Trump or Elon. I’ve been on the hill all day and it’s all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world. 12:30 PM · Jun 5, 2025

Walmart is reportedly laying off more than 100 employees in its technology offices in Silicon Valley, part of larger corporate layoffs across the country. The company’s tech workers in the San Francisco Bay Area are being axed as part of Walmart’s plan to lay off around 1,500 corporate employees across the country, according to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle. Positions within Walmart’s global technology, U.S. e-commerce fulfillment, and advertising divisions will reportedly also be hit as a result of the company being restructured. The company, however, did not disclose all of the locations that will be affected.

Just going to share this here for the people who think pushing radical gender-theory nonsense is compassionate: He considers transitioning from male to female the biggest REGRET of his life. VERY INTERESTING 3:28 VIDEO AT LINK.................... There are many young men and women like this out there. This guy didn't even get into the significant and dangerous health effects of injecting cross-sex hormones, both for men and women. How many lives have been hurt/ruined by the gender cult?

Since he was sworn in four months ago after an airtight confirmation vote, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has continued to be at the center of controversy. We have seen Hegseth’s use of the Signal messaging app on an unsecure personal phone to discuss sensitive military operations, his firing of three senior aides, and a Pentagon chock-full of internal turmoil. ince he was sworn in four months ago after an airtight confirmation vote, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has continued to be at the center of controversy.

Ukraine has told Russia’s President Vladimir Putin should “stop whining” about the strategic bombers destroyed in an audacious drone attack and agree to a ceasefire. “In response to the complaints of the Russian dictator, we emphasize that Russia once again confuses cause and consequence, black and white,” Ukraine’s foreign ministry said in a statement published on Thursday. It pointed out that, as the attacked party, Ukraine has the right to defend itself and that “No territorial limitations are imposed on the exercise of this right to self-defense.” It added that, unlike Russia, Ukraine does not target civilians but only legitimate...

It takes me about eight minutes to walk across the campus of the New College of Florida, where I just concluded a year as a visiting professor. There are rare sightings of students, a grand total of 800, who dart in and out from under the palm trees like white ibises. The clock bell on the astroturf in front of the library can be heard from the waterfront all the way to the student dorms. The all-faculty email list for the 100 or so scholars emits messages such as: “Is anyone having trouble with the Internet?” Despite its minuscule size,...

An environmental artist created a huge “Free Palestine” message in the sand on the beach backing on to US President Donald Trump’s golf resort in County Clare. Sean Corcoran worked with two friends to create the 106-meter (348-ft) wide installation on Doughmore Strand in Doonbeg on Monday. “I couldn’t just stand by while atrocities are being carried out in Gaza. Like so many of us, I’ve felt helpless for the last few months. I’d like to be on the right side of history. I don’t want to look back in ten years and feel like I did nothing,” he said....

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?

Three British people face the death penalty after being charged with smuggling nearly a kilo of cocaine into Bali, Indonesia. Jonathan Christopher Collyer, 28, and Lisa Ellen Stocker, 29, were detained at Denpasar International Airport after customs officers flagged suspicious items in their luggage. Prosecutors said the contents of 10 sachets of Angel Delight in Collyer’s case and seven desert packets in his partner’s baggage tested positive for cocaine. The 993.56g is worth an estimated six billion rupiah (£270,000). Two days later, Phineas Ambrose Float, 31, was arrested in a sting by police pretending to stage a delivery in the...

Rumours of a serial killer in a major U.S. city are swirling after 38 bodies have been pulled from a lake in three years. The most recent discovery was found by a paddleboarder in Lady Bird Lake in Austin Texas, on Tuesday morning. The discovery has renewed fears that a mass murderer, dubbed the ‘Rainy Street Ripper’, is on the loose in the city with close to a million residents. Austin’s police force has insisted a killer is not roaming the streets, and has said only one of the cases was a homicide. But half a dozen of the bodies...

Martin Köhler, a PhD candidate with the University of Queensland's School of the Environment, said the odd discovery was made while he and other researchers were exploring the southern side of the island of Tongatapu."It was late in the day, and we were talking to some farmers when they directed us to this boulder," ...Köhler says that the massive boulder's location much further inland beyond the team's field work area means that it must have been transported there by some tremendous force...When the first erratics were identified in the 18th century, they were initially considered a major paradox. However, it...

The open acrimony between the two men comes after the billionaire denounced President Trump’s signature domestic policy bill as an “abomination.” President Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance dissolved into open acrimony on Thursday, as the two men hurled personal attacks at each other after the billionaire had unleashed broadsides against the president’s signature domestic policy bill. While meeting with Friedrich Merz, Germany’s new chancellor, in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump broke days of uncharacteristic silence and unloaded on Mr. Musk, who until last week was a top presidential adviser. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve helped Elon...

Joe Biden looked lost at a Waffle House after his bad debate with Trump on June 27, 2024. A man in a beige suit signaled Jill Biden and helped get Joe out fast. That man was Anthony Bernal, 52 years old. He works closely with Jill Biden as her top helper and also helps the president. People now wonder if he had more power than anyone knew, especially as Joe's health got worse. A former Biden aide said Bernal had “the most power inside the White House.” A book named Original Sin said Bernal was rude, strict, and tried hard...

A court ruling on Monday in Britain, if it is allowed to stand, could do nothing less than change the course of that country’s history, and that of the entire world. The U.K. has taken a decisive step away from the principles of free speech that it played a dominant role in formulating and giving to the world. There is serious cause for doubt now about whether the Sceptered Isle will even survive as a free society. Officially, Hamit Coskun was found guilty of a “religiously aggravated public order offence.” His specific crime, however, was that he publicly burned a...
