ATLANTA - Georgia Republican Mike Collins said Monday that he will join the field challenging Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff in the state the GOP has named as their top target to add a Senate seat in 2026. What we know: A second-term member of Congress from a district east of Atlanta, Collins becomes the newest top Republican to get into the primary race. U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter is already running, while state Insurance Commissioner John King dropped out. Also expected to run is former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley .

A pro-Ukraine hacker group claims to have carried out a major cyberattack on Russia’s biggest airline, Aeroflot. Silent Crow has claimed responsibility for the attack on Aeroflot’s IT infrastructure, which caused the airline to cancel dozens of flights on Monday. -snip- Aeroflot, Russia’s national carrier, said it had cancelled more than 40 flights following the IT “failure”, without saying how long it would take to be resolved. This included journeys to airports across Russia, plus the capital of Belarus, Minsk, and the capital of Armenia, Yerevan, the Reuters news agency reported. Aeroflot has not responded to the hacking claims and...

Democrats are once again planning a blitz of town hall meetings in Republican-led communities, though this time they are armed with a new and polarizing topic: Jeffrey Epstein. The issue of the so-called “Epstein files” — including the details of high-profile people associated with the disgraced financier and sex offender — continues to divide the GOP, with some calling for further transparency and others, including the president himself, urging people to move on. “Let them destroy each other. If we have to throw a log on the fire, we’ll do it,” one House Democratic aide told The Hill.

A segment on Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend featured an interview with Kathleen Borgueta, who had lost her job at USAID due to cutbacks by the Trump administration. Substitute host Maria Teresa Kumar called USAID "God's work." At the end of the segment, a deeply moved Jonathan Capehart told Borgueta: "I'm going to stop talking because I'm going to burst into tears."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

@GuntherEagleman 🚨 BREAKING: CIA Director John Ratcliffe just confirmed that John Brennan, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton are likely to be INDICTED over their involvement in Russiagate!

Self-proclaimed "anti-oligarchy" crusader Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is once again showing who he really is by endorsing Rebecca Cooke, a Democrat backed by none other than George Soros and his network of far-left donors. Cooke, who’s running in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, has quietly accepted help from a Soros-funded PAC while claiming to fight for “the little guy.” Sanders’ endorsement exposes the hypocrisy of the progressive movement. In a move that perfectly captures the double standard of today’s progressive elite, Sanders has endorsed Cooke, a candidate with deep ties to dark money and George Soros-backed networks. Cooke, who calls herself...

Our Constitution, perhaps the greatest document in human history behind the Bible, is not quite perfect. In 2025, we can see things that might have been added. Number one is probably term limits. Another would be a prohibition on deficit spending outside of war. And maybe they could have added something about judges being responsible for the results of giving criminals a free pass ... What the Founding Fathers never envisioned, however, was a permanent government, whether elected officials or a bureaucracy. Sadly, today we have both ... for America’s first 50 years, we had a Department of State, Treasury,...

Congress has created several programs to allow illegal border crossers claiming to be minors to remain in the U.S. Despite years of documented abuse of the programs, Congress continues to fund them to the tune of billions of dollars. One is the failed unaccompanied minor program, with decades of documented reports of abuse and neglect of children ... Another is the Special Immigrant Juvenile Petition (SIJP) program that allows illegal foreign national minors already involved in the juvenile court system to remain in the U.S. and obtain a pathway to citizenship. For decades, the SIJP has been exploited by criminal...

A mathematician by training, he acquired a devoted following with songs that set sardonic lyrics to music that was often maddeningly cheerful. Tom Lehrer, the Harvard-trained mathematician whose wickedly iconoclastic songs made him a favorite satirist in the 1950s and ’60s on college campuses and in all the Greenwich Villages of the country, died on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Mass. He was 97. Lehrer’s lyrics were nimble, sometimes salacious and almost always sardonic, sung to music that tended to be maddeningly cheerful. Accompanying himself on piano, he performed in nightclubs, in concert and on records that his admirers...

BREAKING: @BillOReilly, longtime friend of President Trump, just said he believes Barack Obama's CIA Director, John Brennan, will be INDICTED. "The charges against John Brennan... are very powerful."

He can’t stop talking about the Jews. -snip- A survey of Carlson’s programming and rhetoric over the past several years, however, makes abundantly clear that he is indeed very much “obsessed” with Israel and the Jews. Carlson has devoted more time and attention to the Jewish state, which he portrays in a uniformly negative light, than to any other country in the world. He has suggested that Israel and its agents have been behind everything from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the promotion of “white genocide” to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed entrapment of the world’s...

When the Cleveland Indians changed their name to the “Guardians” in 2021, it was supposed to be progress. But for many Native Americans like me, it felt like something else entirely: being canceled. On the Sunday of this past week, President Donald Trump stood up for us when he called on the team in Ohio to bring back its iconic name. “Cleveland should do the same with the Cleveland Indians,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after calling for the Washington Redskins name to also be restored. “The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hammering Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on Sunday as the South American country holds municipal elections to fill hundreds of mayoral positions and thousands of council seats. The municipal contests are happening one day before the one-year anniversary of Venezuela's presidential election, which was widely condemned by the United States and other international observers as illegitimate. The Trump administration, meanwhile, has been escalating pressure against Maduro in recent days, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday accused the foreign head of state of being the leader of an entity aiding terrorism against the U.S. "One...

Few events in all of history have been as maligned and misunderstood as the 1925 Scopes Trial, often called the most famous court trial in American history. The common view of the trial is that it was about religious belief pitted against scientific fact. John Scopes, as a teacher educated in biology, taught evolution [actually his major in geology with a minor in law]. His nemesis was William Jennings Bryan, whom evolutionists portrayed as an ignorant fundamentalist accepting every word of the Bible as literal truth. Bryan purportedly aimed to outlaw the teaching of science in public schools and advocated...

When the well-preserved body of the famous Ötzi the Iceman was recovered from the ice in the Austrian-Italian Alps in 1991, his remains provided archaeologists with a wealth of information about life in Europe more than 5,000 years ago. Surprisingly, sequencing of his genome indicated that he shared a very high proportion of his ancestry with early farmers who lived in Anatolia. Science News Today reports that a groundbreaking new study analyzed the DNA of 47 other individuals who lived alongside Ötzi in the Austrian Tyrol between 6400 and 1300 b.c. to determine if they shared genomic similarities. The research...

Ending months of speculation, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed on Saturday that the Asia Cup will take place this year from September 9 to September 28 in the UAE. It was further confirmed that India and Pakistan have been placed in the same group and could likely face each other thrice in the tournament. This left social media enraged as they called for the BCCI to "boycott" the Asia Cup. The reaction stemmed from the same reason that had delayed the announcement of the Asia Cup dates. On April 22, the...
