Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is being mocked mercilessly over a slew of bizarre social media posts that resurfaced as the Israel-Iran war broke out — including his musings about treating a woman right and even being “naughty&playful” as a school kid. The odd posts date back at least a decade and are in stark contrast to the anti-Israel and war rhetoric that now fills the social media feed of the 86-year-old leader and most senior cleric in the extremist Islamic Republic. In one from 2013, Khamenei recalled his awkward school days. “I went 2school w/a cloak since1st days;it...

Federal workers frequently violated work-from-home policies under the Biden administration, a government watchdog revealed in a report released Friday. The “rampant telework abuse” was the result of “compliance failures and weak internal oversight” at former President Joe Biden’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM), according to the agency’s inspector general, which sampled the badging data, timesheets and remote-work agreements of dozens of federal employees. “Under the previous administration, OPMʼs telework and remote work policies were mismanaged and oversight was virtually nonexistent,” OPM Acting Director Chuck Ezell said in a statement. “That era of telework abuse is over,” Ezell declared. “At President...

5.1-magnitude earthquake shook northern Iran, the US Geological Survey says, as Israel pounded the country with repeated waves of airstrikes. The quake, which Iran’s Tasnim news agency says measured 5.2, struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (six miles) some 37 kilometers (23 miles) southwest of the city of Semnan, the USGS says.

What’s another starving BS artist? Cynthia Nixon’s daughter Seph Mozes, who identifies as a man, is going on a hunger strike for Gaza — but really for attention. “He and five of his compatriots are doing a hunger strike in Chicago … ,” a proud Nixon told Newsweek, adding that her 28-year-old child has no “illusions that he’s going to end the war, but I think he wants to do everything he can.” To earn a merit badge in the art of self-congratulations, apparently. Maybe Nixon’s offspring had the misfortune of seeing the actress in bed with Rosie O”Donnell in...

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to stop Harvard University from hosting foreign nationals on student visas. US District Judge Allison Burroughs’s preliminary injunction extends a temporary block she issued last month, which prevented the Trump administration from revoking the Ivy League school’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification. The certification allows Harvard to host roughly 7,000 international students – about 27% of the school’s total enrollment. The injunction will remain in effect until the underlying case is decided, the Obama-appointed judge ruled. The ruling marks another legal victory for the Cambridge, Massachusetts school as...

A pilot study found that the Mediterranean diet may provide symptom relief for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Study participants were randomized into two groups, one following the Mediterranean diet and the other following the low FODMAP diet, a common restrictive diet for IBS. In the Mediterranean diet group, 73% of the patients met the primary endpoint for symptom improvement, versus 81.8% in the low FODMAP group. Irritable bowel syndrome affects an estimated 4–11% of all people, and a majority of patients prefer dietary interventions to medication. The low FODMAP diet leads to symptom improvement in more than half...

Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil lamented leaving behind some “incredible men” on Friday as he left a Louisiana detention facility, which he hopes becomes a museum to what he described as “America’s racist policies.” “I leave some incredible men behind me, over 1,000 people behind me, in a place where they shouldn’t have been in the first place,” Khalil told reporters after walking out of the La Salle Detention Facility in Jena, La. “I hope the next time that I will be in Jena is to actually visit this as a museum on America’s racist policies against immigrants,” the former Columbia...

The Los Angeles Dodgers caved to community pressure and committed $1 million in financial aid to migrant families impacted by ICE raids in the city. The MLB franchise announced the donation Friday — just one day after the reigning World Series Champs crowed about turning ICE agents away from the stadium parking lot over bogus claims of an attempted gameday immigration bust. “What’s happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected,” Stan Kasten, President and CEO of the...

He bit more than the bullet. A Russian soldier on the frontlines in Ukraine murdered his comrade and ate the corpse to survive the grim wartime conditions — only to end up dying anyway, Kyiv’s military intelligence reported. A call between two Russian soldiers who shared the jaw-dropping story of the cannibalistic ‘Brelok’, who killed his countryman ‘Foma’, was allegedly intercepted by Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, according to the Kyiv Post. **SNIP** The ghoulish cannibal was found dead, according to the report. Russia has recruited hardened criminals — including murderers and convicted cannibals — to bolster its ranks during...

Surrounded by metal fences topped with barbed wire, much of the nuclear weapons facility at Aldermaston in Berkshire looks frozen in time from the 1950s rather than ready for war in the 21st century. But a renewed focus on the importance of the UK's nuclear deterrent means the government is giving much of its nuclear infrastructure a facelift as it races to build a new warhead by the 2030s when the old stock goes out of service. Sky News was among a group of news organisations given rare access to the largest of Britain's nuclear weapons locations run by AWE....

A new four-drug combination is highly effective and safe in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, according to dats. The randomized, multi-center trial tests the effects of adding the targeted drug daratumumab to the standard three-part therapy regimen, called KRd (carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone). The new clinical trial has its roots in the MANHATTAN trial. In that, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients were also treated with daratumumab added to KRd, a combination called DKRd. The results of the MANHATTAN trial were "spectacular," said Landgren. Sensitive methods to assess for minimal residual disease (MRD) showed that 71% of patients had no...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom threw on a pair of sunglasses and sipped wine at a ritzy charity event at his sun-drenched vineyard earlier this month – just as chaotic, anti-ICE protests kicked off in Los Angeles. The luxe event dubbed “Vineyard Vibes” was held at the Odette Estate Winery in Napa Valley to raise money for the PlumpJack Foundation, founded by Newsom’s sister, on the afternoon of June 7. One witness was appalled that the Democrat was casually enjoying a glass of vino in a V-neck T-shirt and baseball cap the day after his City of Angels started spiraling into...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer 🚨 RINO Senator @SenThomTillis Thom Tillis’s Anti-Litigation Finance Bill Threatens American Justice, Favors Woke Corporations, Big Tech, and Big Pharma🚨 Senator Thom Tillis’s “Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act” S. 1821) is raising alarms among Americans for its potential to hand massive corporations a shield from accountability while leaving everyday Americans defenseless. The legislation, which imposes a punishing 41% tax on litigation finance, is being slammed as a betrayal of the America First agenda, threatening the ability of hardworking citizens to challenge the elite globalist machine through litigation. Litigation finance is a critical weapon for the little guy—empowering...

About two years ago, Sonar21 released an article detailing how the Biden Administration tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to reduce oil prices and bolster the faltering economy, a move aimed at gaining political advantage during the 2022 midterm elections. Biden released approximately 260 million barrels rapidly, potentially damaging the aging salt caverns through deformation and shrinkage. In 2000, the SPR office estimated that the facilities had a remaining life span of twenty-five years, assuming routine maintenance. Assuming refiling the SPR at three million barrels a month, it would take a staggering seven years to replace the 260 million barrels....

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) says he was deliberately run off the road Thursday morning in what he described as a politically motivated, anti-Israel assault. The Ohio congressman, one of only two Jewish Republicans in Congress, called the incident a “targeted attack.” Miller posted a video message on X shortly after the incident, detailing what happened and condemning the act of politically driven violence: The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control. Today I was run off the road in Rocky River, and the life of me and my family was threatened by a person who proceeded to...
