In political theory, hypocrisy is often regarded as a minor sin, the unavoidable cost of aligning ideology with the messiness of real life. But sometimes, hypocrisy isn’t incidental. Sometimes, it reveals the true nature of the ideology itself. And sometimes, as with Zohran Mamdani’s recent wedding, it isn’t just hypocrisy, it is performance art. The self-described Islamic Marxist and current Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, Mamdani has built his career upon the aesthetic of struggle. He rails against landlords, billionaires, private property, and what he calls "capitalist theft." He advocates the abolition of prisons, the dismantling of the...

The Traverse City stabbing suspect is eligible for bond. They just want him to promise not to go back to Wal-Mart or do drugs. What in the world are they thinking? Quote Senator Aric Nesbitt @SenAricNesbitt · 16h Eligible for bond? This individual just went on a rampage, and by the grace of God didn’t end anyone’s life.

Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem, who also serves as the Executive Director of the Election Fairness Institute (EFI), and former Tennessee Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor, the Senior Research Analyst for EFI, have been quietly leading a bombshell investigation into what may be the largest money laundering and real estate fraud scheme in U.S. history. According to exclusive evidence shared with Unleashed.news and The Gateway Pundit, suspicious property transactions totaling in the billions are now under review, with the trail pointing directly at top ActBlue leadership, its donor network, and a web of accomplices.

A job role for a sharia court administrative position advertised on a UK Government website has sparked anger as MPs blast it as "incompatible" with the "way of British life". MPs have shared their outrage after discovering the job ad posted on the Department for Work and Pensions' Find a Job platform, for an annual salary of £23,500 at Manchester Community Centre in Didsbury. The position requires candidates to hold a degree in sharia law and demonstrate prior experience working within Islamic courts in Muslim nations. The job also seeks someone to handle administrative and secretarial duties for Manchester Sharia...

Shortly after President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of treason – an epithet that has been thrown at Trump practically every day – Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said: “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.” Distraction from what? Rodenbush didn’t have to say, because the media have been busy filling in that blank. “Trump tries to distract from Epstein by casually accusing Obama of treason,” is how MSNBC put it. CNN’s headline blared that “Trump’s longtime rage at Obama roars back amid Epstein furor.” “Critics say Trump is trying to distract from Epstein by talking about...

WASHINGTON/TAIPEI, July 28 (Reuters) - Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te is set to delay a diplomatically sensitive trip his team had floated to the Trump administration for August that would have included stops in the United States, according to three people familiar with the matter. Such a trip was bound to infuriate Beijing at a time when U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to negotiate a deal on trade with China. China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, a claim Taiwan rejects, and regularly denounces any shows of support for Taipei from Washington. The trip, which could have included...

A team of engineers has unveiled a revolutionary mini-spectrometer that can fit on a fingertip and operate with low voltage, scanning light from UV to near-infrared in under a millisecond. This game-changing device replaces bulky traditional spectrometers and could soon be embedded in smartphones, unlocking powerful tools for material analysis, biomedical diagnostics, and more—right in your pocket. Its tiny photodetector shifts light sensitivity with simple voltage changes, offering speed and precision in a package smaller than a pixel. Breakthrough in Compact Spectrometry Researchers have developed a groundbreaking spectrometer that is significantly smaller than existing models, yet still capable of precisely...

As India retires its last legendary MiG-21 fighters, its air force is shrinking to a historic low of just 29 squadrons, falling dangerously behind a rapidly expanding China. To counter this, New Delhi faces a critical and long-delayed decision for its next 5th-generation fighter. The choice is a high-stakes geopolitical dilemma: the combat-proven but expensive American F-35, or Russia’s Su-57, which offers local production but is seen as a “huge bet” on a “dying” and unreliable defense industry.

...The Russia collusion hoax wasn’t just a political scandal. It was a masterclass in obedience psychology. Americans didn’t believe it because it made sense. They believed it because someone in authority told them to. . ...Fast forward to COVID. A doctor appeared on your television and told you to stay inside. Wear a mask. Take the jab. If you hesitated, you were selfish. A threat. An enemy of the people. The same experiment was being run again, but this time, at scale. And just like Milgram’s results, most people obeyed. Not because they understood the science. Not because they evaluated...

If it feels like something’s changed between your generation and your father’s and grandfather’s, science may back you up. Recent data reveals a startling truth: young men today have significantly lower testosterone levels than their counterparts from just two decades ago. In fact, according to U.S. national health survey data, testosterone levels in men aged 15 to 39 have declined by approximately 25% since 1999. A Shocking Trend Backed by Research The data comes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a long-running program that tracks public health trends. Between 1999 and 2016, the average total testosterone levels...

The Kremlin said on July 29 it had “taken note” of a statement by US President Donald Trump that he was shortening his deadline for Moscow to sign up to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face sanctions. Mr Trump set a new deadline on July 28 of 10 or 12 days for Russia to make progress towards ending the war in Ukraine or face consequences, underscoring frustration with President Vladimir Putin over the 3½-year-old conflict. Asked about Mr Trump’s statement on July 29 during a conference call with reporters, the Kremlin kept its remarks short. “We have taken note of...

A widely circulated video showcasing a gay couple’s “surrogacy journey” has revealed that a baby boy is currently in the custody of a registered child sex offender. The couple, Logan Riley and Brandon Mitchell, gained viral attention after posting a video introducing their newborn son. It has since emerged that Mitchell is a convicted pedophile.

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed in a report published on Tuesday that the United States and the United Kingdom have decided to replace Volodymyr Zelensky as president of Ukraine with ambassador to London, Valerii Zaluzhny. According to the document, the agreement was made during a meeting between the delegates of the US, the UK, and Ukraine in the Alps. Kiev was allegedly represented by Zaluzhny, who was also Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief until 2024, Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR MOU) Chief Kyrylo Budanov, and Zelensky's aide Andriy Yermak.

You guys, the Democrats are desperate to be more masculine. So desperate, in fact, that Rep. Eric Swalwell of California apparently recorded this video of himself in the gym bench-pressing 135 pounds. Bro, if you're trying to appeal to masculine male voters, I don't think 135 is going to do it! Throw a ten on each side there, and maybe we can talk, but 135 is peewee league stuff

In what he mistakenly thought was a winning argument in his campaign for New York City mayor, former Gov, Andrew Cuomo said he "will move to Florida if socialist Mamdani wins in November." Brooklyn resident Luigi Corleone said "I was planning on voting for Sliwa. He's not a communist kook or a crook like the others, but the opportunity to get Cuomo out of the state is very tempting. Mamdani's ideas are stupid, but I don't think he ever murdered anyone. Cuomo, on the other hand, ordered nursing homes to admit covid-infected old folks. Thousands died as a result. Cuomo...

New revelations suggest a conspiracy at the heart of the Obama White House to target Trump as a Russian agent. It’s beginning to look like the Obama administration was all-in on the Russia collusion hoax long before Trump won the 2016 election. On Monday, Fox News reported that before the FBI ever launched its politicized probe of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia in the summer of 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies had “credible foreign sources” indicating the FBI would help spread the Russia collusion hoax, which of course is exactly what happened. It’s the latest twist in a string...
