Jimmy Kimmel is a desperate man looking for a way out, he revealed in a recent interview. The late-night host sees the writing on the wall, including the likely evisceration of his own ABC show. Rather than bear it, Kimmel said he’s giving serious thought to fleeing the U.S. Such a move would be driven by Kimmel’s desire to “escape Trump,” he said on the Sarah Silverman Podcast last week. “I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,” the 57-year-old comedian said about his own career...

All of it is Queer"We are so back" is a current meme indicating how some part of "woke" culture has been pushed back, but even the most anti-woke conservatives stand defenseless against gay culture.One of my favorite homosexuals of all time was Justin Raimondo, founder of Antiwar.com and author of the 2008 book Reclaiming the American Right, who once said that the best thing about being homosexual was all the sneaking around. That was when there was a closet; ahh, the closet. Most people in those days knew who was “that way,” who was “light in the loafers.” But they...

JK Rowling, creator and author of the "Harry Potter" book series, lit up liberals for sacrificing the principle of free speech, stating that the reason they did so was that they were terrified they wouldn't be accepted by "their tribe." This is a very astute observation from Rowling. Fear was, is, and always will be the engine that drives the liberal/progressive movement. This is why they shame those among their group who step out of line with the accepted doctrine of the hivemind. Cancel culture was born from this line of thinking. Cut people off from their tribe, where they...

Unless you are in denial, you probably understand that ice cream isn’t a diet food. Although it is delicious and nothing beats a cool, sweet cone of the frozen dessert on a hot summer day, it isn’t going to help you shave inches off your waistline. However, that doesn’t mean all brands are equal regarding health. Some popular brands found at your local grocery store contain artificial ingredients, flavors, and preservatives. Here are 6 ice cream brands that are mostly air and additives. 1. Edy’s Edy’s ice cream is delicious, but many artificial colors and additives are on the ingredient...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in a Monday letter is urging President Trump to call off the map-drawing arms race, saying he should end a redistricting war that is sparking battles across the country. Newsom warned that GOP pushes to draw more favorable maps ahead of the midterms were “playing with fire” and pledged that California would stand down if red states did the same. “This attempt to rig congressional maps to hold onto power before a single vote is cast in the 2026 election is an affront to American democracy,” wrote Newsom, who has launched a redistricting effort in...

Ravan Jaafar al-Taie is a finalist to be elected to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The Jerusalem Post did a deep dive into her controversial social media history. By Mathilda Heller. August 10, 2025. One of six finalists up for election for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has on several occasions posted the inverted red triangle associated with Hamas and has accused Israel of falsifying claims of rape by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

President Trump on Monday criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the leader’s resistance to cede territory to Russia, saying he disagrees “very, very severely” with Zelensky. “I get along with Zelensky, but, you know, I disagree with what he’s done, very, very severely disagree. This is a war that should have never happened,” Trump told reporters at the White House, referring to Russia’s more than three-year war in Ukraine. In an attempt to broker an end to the conflict, Trump announced Friday he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15. Trump has said the meeting...

The litmus test that a city is preparing for an inevitable siege isn’t just the columns of smoke rising on the immediate horizon, the artillery blasts, or the enemy surveillance drones hovering overhead: it is above all the fact that it’s rapidly emptying out its residents. The NGO Proliska evacuates 200 people from the area every day. Vans, cars, and families loading their belongings onto carts leave for Dnipropetrovsk province. The number of refugees fleeing Dobropillya has multiplied fivefold in two weeks, according to Proliska.

The media brags that the economy grew faster under Joe Biden than it is under President Trump, but they intentionally hide the reasons why. Here’s the mainstream take, from a new item from AP: It’s Trump’s economy now. The latest financial numbers offer some warning signsJob gains are dwindling. Inflation is ticking upward. Growth has slowed compared with last year.The reason the economy grew last year faster than Trump is because Biden masked the weakness in the private sector with massive government spending increases. Here are some easily attained facts from the internet: - FY 2019: Federal spending $4.4 trillion,...

US President Donald Trump has said he will try to get some territory back for Ukraine during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. "Russia's occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They occupied prime territory. We're going to try to get some of that territory back for Ukraine," he told a news conference. Trump said the talks in Alaska would be a "feel-out meeting" aimed at urging Putin to end the war, and that there would be "some swapping, changes in land". It is not the first time he has used the phrase "land-swapping", though it is unclear...

Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the United States. What do Minnesota’s Somali citizens think of us? We know amazingly little about the community, probably because we are afraid to ask the relevant questions. We know they are mostly Muslim — we can see the hijabs, we are familiar with the many local controversies ... over the past 35 years — but are they loyal residents or citizens of the United States? In the conflict between the United States and Muslim terrorists, for example, whose side are they on? Acting United States Attorney Joe Thompson observed at...

When arrests at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally get too high, officials resort to an overflow jail, a quasi-retired 1950s era jailhouse. “When you have 50+ drunk individuals who aren’t happy to be there, haven’t showered in a few days, highly intoxicated, it gets thick back there,” a prison official said. “If you know anything about bikers, we have fun, we party. Sturgis is a giant party. It’s the freedom to do whatever you want, ride a bike naked if you want,” he said, adding an important addendum. “But you might get messed with by the cops.” Rally arrests are so...

This one seems to be playing some kind of crazy shoplifting game while high as a kite on meth. People like her are everywhere in America these days, don't think they're not.

While a new Pentagon policy makes it easier for Marines to acquire and experiment with small drones, the U.S. military faces a catastrophic drone gap with Russia and China. A recent exercise highlighted the poor performance of the few approved, American-made models. The root of the problem is a nearly extinct domestic manufacturing base, leaving the U.S. unable to produce drones at scale without relying on Chinese components.

Once, not too long ago, people with ideas aspired to enter politics by presenting their ideas, which were debated during rallies and speeches. Worthy candidates laid out a map to follow for election, and voters judged the best route. Within the past year, many high-profile Democrats have replaced maps with megaphones and words that would make World War II-era merchant marines proud, remaining confident that their volume equaled clarity, while anger equaled authenticity. Although rhetorical shifts such as these grab attention for a single moment, the speakers never learned the lesson that attention without persuasion turns into nothing but a...

OpenAI’s latest AI models, GPT o3 and o4-mini, hallucinate significantly more often than their predecessorsThe increased complexity of the models may be leading to more confident inaccuraciesThe high error rates raise concerns about AI reliability in real-world applicationsBrilliant but untrustworthy people are a staple of fiction (and history). The same correlation may apply to AI as well, based on an investigation by OpenAI and shared by The New York Times. Hallucinations, imaginary facts, and straight-up lies have been part of AI chatbots since they were created. Improvements to the models theoretically should reduce the frequency with which they appear.OpenAI’s latest...

VIDEOTwo loons. The second one is using the same sick script via voiceover as the first one. It is not certain if the first loon is using someone else's voice since her normal voice does not quite match the sick snarky voice you hear on this video. In both cases they could be in trouble. Not coming right out and saying what they wish but strongly hinting at it while Mozart's Funeral Mass music is playing is more than enough to place both of them on a watch list at the very least. Sick stuff. Oh, and if their not...

'Israeli hostages may be the only people purposely starved in Gaza'. Dan Perry says that there is "clearly hunger in Gaza". You cannot deny that there is hunger in Gaza, according to Dan Perry, former head of the Associated Press Africa, Middle East, and Europe desks. “There clearly is hunger in Gaza,” Perry said last week on the ILTV News Podcast. “Half of Gaza has been flattened, the economy has been destroyed. It's not by any means self-sufficient. It's blockaded from all sides — from the sea and from the air. It's under very severe military assault. I don't think...

Rescue crews raced to save multiple people trapped beneath the rubble after an explosion at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh on Monday, an official said. The blast happened just before 11 a.m. at the Clairton Coke Works. Abigail Gardner, director of communications for Allegheny County, told The Associated Press there are no confirmed fatalities yet.
