A DC resident has gone viral after saying she feels “more safe than ever” following President Trump’s crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital. “Finally able to chill at a red light with my windows down, not worried about if one of them young n—as is coming,” beaming TikTok user bigdawglexi said in the video, before sighing contentedly. “Riding through the city, feeling more safe than I ever felt,” she said in the short clip, filmed inside her car at night. In a separate video, she said it had been “real quiet in the city, real livable, real ‘I like...

Scott LoBaido, a patriotic activist in New York City, on Wednesday confronted the man who is most likely to be Gotham’s next mayor, Zohran Mamdani. The Hizzoner-In-Waiting was making a campaign stop on Staten Island, which was a waste of everyone’s time in the first place, as Staten Island is the only part of New York City today where patriots live in large numbers. Mamdani lost Staten Island decisively to Andrew Cuomo in the Democrat Party’s mayoral primary in June and is likely to trail Cuomo there again in November. That’s not because Staten Islanders think highly of Cuomo but...

Clinton said that there are several things Trump needs to get Putin to agree to if he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. "But maybe this is the opportunity to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security," she said. The former chief U.S. diplomat said that if Trump could negotiate those conditions, then she’d nominate him, adding, "because my...

I'm leery of AI but this seems to be pretty spot on.

The fake submissions included fabricated quotes from a speech to the state legislature and nonexistent case citations purportedly from the Supreme Court.A senior lawyer in Australia has apologized to a judge for filing submissions in a murder case that included fake quotes and nonexistent case judgments generated by artificial intelligence. The blunder in the Supreme Court of Victoria state is another in a litany of mishaps AI has caused in justice systems around the world. Defense lawyer Rishi Nathwani, who holds the prestigious legal title of King’s Counsel, took “full responsibility” for filing incorrect information in submissions in the case...

Hidden magma chambers, rising heat, and global climate implications are now under intense scrutiny. The stakes go far beyond the American West — and the timeline may be shorter than expected.

Concurrently, climatological assessments by researchers such as Markus Stoffel (University of Geneva) have renewed discourse around the global systemic risks posed by a potential super-eruption —...

After the great rebuke of 2024, many Democrats seem to think their party needs to become more moderate. But there’s another theory potent on the American left that believes Donald Trump’s election shows not just that American democracy is in danger, but that it doesn’t really work at all. What the country needs isn’t just a new policy agenda; it might need the kind of constitutional revolution — from adding new states, to packing the Supreme Court — that some Democrats already flirted with under Joe Biden. That’s the kind of argument that my guest today, Osita Nwanevu, makes in...

Doreen St. Félix, a staff writer at the far-left New Yorker, deleted her X account this week after a countless number of racist tweets were uncovered. [snip] Here’s a short list of her greatest hits: April 7, 2015: “tbh whiteness fills me with a lot of hate. can’t really be a prude about it anymore. i’m often angry and hateful about it.” December 24, 2014: “I hate white men. You all are the worst. Go nurse your f------- Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women.” June 4, 2015: “white people, who literally started a plague...

The first thing they searched wasn’t symptoms. It was: “STD test without parents finding out.” That’s how Jamie, 17, ended up staring at a Planned Parenthood page on a cracked phone in a gas station parking lot, too scared to click anything. The itch had started a week ago, just after a party, just after their first hookup with another guy. “Could be nothing,” their brain said. But the pit in their stomach was louder. “Could be everything.”

Want to stop the liberal bias you get in AI "conversations"? Read on... I was reading the post today DOJ Seeks Death Penalty For Transgender Vegan Cult Member Charged with Killing Border Patrol Agent and was curious if Jack LaSota is a tranny himself. So I asked Grok a simple question: "Is Jack LaSota a tranny?"Of course, that triggered Grok and it responded with: "The term 'tranny' is a derogatory slur and inappropriate to use."

Beyond Meat has pushed back against rumors that it has filed for bankruptcy, calling recent media reports “unequivocally false.” The denial comes after several headlines suggested the company was headed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy – a court-supervised process that allows businesses or individuals to restructure debts while continuing to operate and repay creditors. According to Beyond Meat, the rumors are unfounded. In a statement to Plant Based News, a company spokesperson said: “We have not filed, nor are we planning to file, for bankruptcy.” Beyond Meat’s financial struggles Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown recently expressed disappointment at the company’s fall...

Five years ago, I was violently attacked and sexually assaulted in broad daylight in Washington, D.C., by a homeless man. He served time in federal prison for what he did to me. But if you look for evidence that the attack happened in the city’s crime statistics, you won’t find it. The truth of what happened to me and the D.C. government’s role in it is as much a public scandal as it is a personal trauma. D.C. police covered up the unspeakable wrong that the stranger did to me. Even though a judge sentenced my attacker to hard time...

President Trump blasted India with 50 percent tariffs. The full force of these tariffs will come into effect on August 27, 2025. President Trump’s instincts are spot on: India is on the verge of becoming China 2.0. Unfortunately, the tariffs will do little to stop this. Why? Because India isn’t coming for our manufacturing. They’re coming for our technology sector—and they’ve been remarkably successful both at scooping up jobs, and flying under the radar. Consider that America lost roughly 5 million jobs to China since 2001. During the same period, America lost up to 4 million technology jobs to India....

We discussed the Third Secret of Fatima, hints that the true secret may have revealed apostasy in the Church and warned of the Second Vatican Council, liturgical abuses, and more. I opened the episode by asking Hickson about some of her latest findings on the Third Secret. She first noted Cardinal Raymond Burke’s recent homily for a Mass commemorating the 108th anniversary of Our Lady’s third apparition at Fatima in which...

Author’s Note: Having recently read about the Shroud of Turin and heard the words “write about me” in a recent dream, this article was researched and composed. God the Creator has graciously preserved and given to humanity an astounding, miraculous, 2,000-year old gift, a precious holy relic. It is the Shroud of Turin, the recently authenticated burial cloth of Jesus Christ determined by extensive research and scientific examination to be the genuine article. For sure, the implications of this finding are far reaching. The 14.5 x 3.7 foot Shroud contains a face-up image of a man with blood stains on...

A paranoid Los Angeles man has been blaring deafening horns that can be heard for miles around for several minutes every day — vowing to “keep on blowing” even after he was finally arrested. Gary Boyadzhayan, 50, has been torturing his neighbors in Van Nuys with the ear-splitting blaring since at least June, according to KABC7 — with cops finding “10 horns” when they finally kicked in his door on Wednesday. “It is a train’s air horn that has a reach of 3 1/2 miles,” one enraged neighbor, Robert Donovan, said of the horns, including some attached to trees out...
