The public is fed up with having to climb over drug-addled zombies and mumbling, mentally deranged vagrants on the streets and in the subways. But New York City's far-left politicians insist the homeless should be catered to on their own terms, including providing them with clean needles to support their addictions, and medical care wherever they choose to sleep. The public's fears and disgust be damned. Last Thursday President Donald Trump took sides with the public. By executive order, he announced that federal funding for housing and social services would no longer go to the "failed programs" that facilitate the...

President Donald Trump was asked to weigh in on the Sydney Sweeney "great jeans" American Eagle ad controversy. He delivered a reply that demonstrated humor and exposed it for the silliness it deserves. It'd be challenging to imagine readers are unaware of what happened here, but a quick recap, if you will: Sweeney, who is a bombshell by most measures, dared to star in a commercial wearing form-fitting pants, a loosely buttoned shirt, and looking good while talking about her "great jeans." Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign is receiving criticism for a “jeans/genes” pun that some say echoes eugenics and...

AP News reports that ocean swells and shifting coastal sands exposed ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs on a beach in Oahu. The carvings were first seen almost a decade ago near a U.S. Army base in Waianae, an hour outside Honolulu, but were quickly swallowed back up again by the sand. Although sections of the artwork have occasionally become visible, said U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii archaeologist Laura Gilda, this is the first time the entire panel has been exposed. The scene consists of 26 petroglyphs -- 18 of which depict anthropomorphic stick figures -- carved across a 115-foot stretch of sandstone. Experts...

The Secret Service abruptly halted the security clearance renewal for former Director Kimberly Cheatle.

The Trump administration's DOGE developed a new tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to review federal regulations for potential elimination, according a new report. The "DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool" was designed to review about 200,000 federal regulations and assess which can be eliminated, The Washington Post reported after reviewing a PowerPoint presentation about the tool and its findings that was dated July 1. The Post reported that about 100,000 of those rules should be considered for elimination on the grounds that they're no longer required under federal law based on the AI tool's review and some feedback from DOGE...

The United States stands on the brink of an unprecedented transformer shortage that threatens to derail President Trump’s ambitious plans for AI-driven reindustrialization. With wait times for electrical transformers now stretching to 3–5 years—compared to just 4–6 weeks in 2020—manufacturers warn of "catastrophic" grid instability as power demands skyrocket from new data centers, factories, and infrastructure projects. The bottleneck stems from Trump’s aggressive trade policies, including a 25% tariff on India (the world’s largest transformer producer, making 60% of global supply) and looming 100% penalties on China (which produces another 20%). The Transformer Shortage: A Ticking Time Bomb Transformers are...

Across the Western world, governments have opened the floodgates to mass third-world immigration. It is questionable whether such policies have been popular anywhere, and it is hard to identify a country where citizens have ever voted for them. Thus, unrest has been inevitable. The international political class has usually responded to popular discontent over immigration by shutting down speech and criminalizing dissent. Meanwhile, a number of European countries are rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Why this crazed dedication to an unpopular and likely suicidal policy? I wish I knew. Yesterday, there were massive protests across the United Kingdom against the Uniparty’s immigration...

The Senate did not use the pro forma session practices during or after the first session of the 111th Congress.39 Toward the end of the second session, however, the Senate structured its 2010 pre-election break as a series of shorter recesses separated by pro forma sessions. In this case, the use of the practice reportedly stemmed from a lack of agreement between the Senate majority leader and the Senate minority leader regarding the disposition of pending nominations over the break.40 ... 39 When the practice under discussion here was first used, during the 110th Congress, Congress and the White House...

Jimmy Page has settled a lawsuit involving Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused," which was filed back in May by the songwriter Jake Holmes. Holmes' suit was filed against both Page and Sony Pictures film studio, alleging copyright infringement and breach of contract. The suit claimed that two early live versions of the song were included in the 2025 documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin without properly crediting or compensating Holmes. It also claims that Page has released several live renditions of the song as recorded by the Yardbirds that credit Page as the lone songwriter. (They appear on the archival releases Yardbirds...

Slashdot reader ffkom writes: The air around you mostly consists of nitrogen [78%]. And in that air exist happy little monogamous pairs of two nitrogen atoms per molecule, also known as N2. Researchers from the University of Giessen, Germany, recently managed to synthesize N6 molecules, "the first, to our knowledge, experimentally realized neutral molecular nitrogen allotrope beyond N2 that exhibits unexpected stability." And these appear to be pretty angry little molecules, as they detonate at more than twice the energy density than good old TNT: A kiloton of N6 is 1.19×10**7mol, which can release an energy of 2.20×109kcal (9.21terajoules) based...

MAIDENS, South Ayrshire, Scotland — President Donald Trump in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News taped here last week formally defined the term he came up with, “Panicans,” when asked what he and his team at the White House mean when they rip worrywarts freaking out during high-stakes political moments faced by the president and the nation. “In some cases they are good people that really have the best and they want to do things but I call them ‘Panicans’ because maybe they’re not smart because they’re playing right into the enemy’s camp,” Trump said. “And in other types of...

Pacific Palisades fire victim shows there were 2 FULL massive tanks of water not used and says a firemen told him they were ordered to let the area burn... “The fireman told me that we were ORDERED TO LET THEM BURN DOWN” “About a week after, I'm walking my dogs in the morning, you know, I walk them during the day and I see a white SUV truck with California water or something on the side of it.

Roger Daltrey has accused Zak Starkey of character assassination, declaring that the fuss over the Who drummer's recent dismissal was "incredibly upsetting." Starkey served in the band for 29 years before he was fired in April after an onstage incident during the band's performance at Royal Albert Hall. Daltrey is said to have complained about Starkey overplaying during the show, telling the crowd: “To sing that song I do need to hear the key, and I can’t. All I’ve got is drums going boom, boom, boom. I can’t sing to that. I’m sorry, guys.” Less than a week later, the...

Chinese engineers accessed Pentagon systems via Microsoft’s cloud—raising alarms over Big Tech’s ties to America’s top adversary. “When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will vie with each other for the rope contract.” While the statement has been variously (and erroneously) attributed to Lenin, Stalin, and Marx, the point remains as true today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow—if there is a tomorrow for free people and free markets. In the wake of a disturbing ProPublica investigation, Microsoft executives and the United States Department of Defense (DOD) bureaucrats are busy trying to cover their butts and...

Truly glorious irony. The state attorney general has asked a federal judge in Mississippi to explain errors in a recent ruling, which some lawyers speculated were made by artificial intelligence. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate issued a temporary restraining order on July 20 that paused the enforcement of a state law that prohibits diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools. But the order was riddled with mistakes — naming plaintiffs who weren’t parties to the suit, quoting state law incorrectly and referring to cases that don’t appear to exist.
