Tom Brady is coming out of retirement ... sort of.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Deputies are hunting for a man who robbed the Paddlefish restaurant at Disney Springs by swimming up in scuba gear and making off with thousands of dollars. The robbery occurred shortly after midnight on Monday, after the restaurant had closed to guests, WFTV reported. According to a sheriff’s office report, the man entered the manager’s office where cash from the night was being counted. He reportedly forced two employees to the corner of the room and instructed them to close their eyes. Sources familiar with the investigation told WFTV the employees were tied up. The...

Did the Washington Post fire a long-time editor for speaking truth to power? Or did she lose her job because she couldn't do basic research before smearing the victim of a political assassination? Or worse? YMMV, but the way Karen Attiah frames the argument in her newly launched Substack certainly looks sus, as the kids say these days. It takes her an awfully long time to get to the catalyst for her termination .... and for good reason, as it turns out: What "work" would that be? Well, it turns out to be the work of slagging Charlie Kirk in...

A transgender cyclist and Olympic alternate told female protesters to 'suck a sawn-off shotgun' in an epic meltdown just days after celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. Chelsea Wolfe was filmed mouthing off at protesters while preparing for a women's race alongside two friends. Protesters had gathered to condemn Wolfe's inclusion in the race as a transgender woman, sparking the furious bust-up. 'Go suck a sawn-off shotgun,' Wolfe said repeatedly as the women questioned whether she should be competing in the female categories. 'You're a Nazi piece of ****. 'We don't f**k with fascists. That's how we feel about Nazis around these...

Police say that a Salt Lake City man — who was no stranger to the state's political scene — claimed responsibility moments after the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, in an attempt to "draw attention from the real shooter." The arrest also sparked a child pornography investigation. George Hodgson Zinn, 71, was booked into Utah County Jail for investigation of obstruction of justice and sexual exploitation of a minor on Monday, following a few days at a hospital. Newly released police documents also detail more of what happened that led to his arrest at Utah Valley University, which...

As appalling as the murder itself has been the reaction by liberals. Dot Heffron of Virginia is typical: (Image of a publik skool member thinking she knows what a nazi is) Lefties have designated Charlie Kirk as a Nazi. This does not mean that he agreed with Nazis about anything, but only that they hated him. They hate him still: They’re the hordes of Mordor. That’s all that can be said about these people, many of whom teach your children, manage your health care, and maintain law and order. The list goes on—we have doctors, veterinarians, wealth managers, and nurses...

On March 21, 1973, John Dean, Richard Nixon’s White House counsel, alerted the president that his presidency was in serious jeopardy. Dean confronted the president with a stark warning: “We have a cancer within … the presidency, that’s growing. It’s growing daily.” Dean’s words were prophetic. It soon became clear that the Nixon presidency was infected by toxic ideology. Ultimately, it was determined that Nixon had not only failed to prevent the consequences of this pathology but had also encouraged it and sought to cover it up. Some 16 months later, Nixon was forced to resign and left the White...

Certain brands of imported cookware are likely to leach “significant levels” of lead into food, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration said in a consumer warning Friday. Officials tested a number of cookware products made from aluminum, brass and aluminum alloys known as “Hindalium” and “Indalium” and determined that they may release lead into food during the cooking process, the FDA said. No level of lead is safe for human ingestion. Young children, women of childbearing age and mothers who are breastfeeding face the highest health risks in eating food tainted with the toxic metal, officials said. The FDA said...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” MSNBC Senior Reporter Brandy Zadrozny said that there is left-wing extremist content online, “but not that much. It’s pretty hard. On the right, you can find it literally everywhere. It’s just overflowing.” But most of the shooters who came out of these spaces likely “aren’t huge fans of Donald Trump. They’re fans of nothing. They’re fans of extremism. They’re fans of burn it down.” Host Jacob Soboroff asked, “Do you see a common denominator, a common type of politics across or amongst all of these incidents, all of these shooters?” Zadrozny answered, “Yeah,...

Mila Joy @MilaLovesJoe This a**hole attempted to ruin a Charlie Kirk memorial and got bear sprayed for his trouble. And he cried like a little bitch.

Here’s what you need to know: 🔻 Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. 🔻 Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Dept–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the "7 for 17" Award for advancing the UN's 17 Goals 🔻 Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian's presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain. Per the 990 form with Utah Global Diplomacy (EIN 876128308), the nonprofit is a partner with the US State Department to cultivate emerging leaders and diplomacy initiatives. In other words,...

President Donald Trump signed a memo Monday establishing a task force in Memphis, Tennessee, that would mobilize the National Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies to crack down on crime, similar to steps taken in Washington, D.C.

Jaguar Land Rover’s suppliers have been warned that car production may not resume until November as the fallout from a devastating cyber attack grows. The company’s factory lines have already been paralysed for two weeks after hackers compromised its computer systems, a situation that has forced bosses to temporarily send thousands of plant workers home. But with the crisis now in its third week, senior insiders are understood to have told suppliers that production could be knocked out for another seven. One person briefed on the situation said senior JLR figures were divided on how long the shutdown would drag...

Is Great Britain on the brink of a Trump revolution? The president’s visit to the United Kingdom this week coincides with signs Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government is crumbling. Starmer’s own party increasingly thinks he has to go — and if Labour fares as poorly as polls presently suggest it will in local elections next May, Starmer will be out. If he even lasts that long: Scandals have taken out three of his key aides and allies already this month. The British right, meanwhile, is showing new signs of vigor. Up to 150,000 people flocked to London last weekend...

So .... thoughts on the question ... The REAL reason the President is deploying the National Guard in various cities is NOT necessarily to fight existing crime, but to get them into position for when the demonic alliance of Jihadists and "Trans-tifa" are unleashed by the nefarious players .... wishing to start a Hot Civil War in the streets?Kirk's murderer may have been more 'solo' than not. But, I have a sinking feeling he really was not a "lone" actor in all this ... and is a soldier of a bigger force.

This is the wrong kind of book cracking. Two rotten Florida boys allegedly caused over $50,000 in damages to their school library — and were turned in to police by their own moms, according to officials. The alleged bad seeds were identified as 12-year-old Felix Cohen Romero and 13-year-old Bentley Ryan Wehrly, who confessed to the outrageous vandalism of the Friendship Elementary library in Deltona, according to a Facebook post from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. Chaotic bodycam footage posted to Facebook Sunday showed officers responding to a fire alarm at 1 a.m. — guns drawn as they stumbled through a...

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier declared state residents are free to openly carry guns statewide after an appeals court decision that struck down Florida’s nearly 40-year-old ban. Uthmeier, a Republican appointed to the job earlier this year by Gov. Ron DeSantis who is running for the post in 2026, sent out a “guidance” memo Monday to law enforcement agencies and local prosecutors asserting the 1st District Court of Appeal ruling is in effect statewide. “Meaning that of last week, open carry is the law of the state,” Uthmeier wrote on his official X account in a post that included the...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Newsmax on Monday that investigators have uncovered "significant developments" suggesting a broader network of people might have been involved in the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. Bongino told "Rob Schmitt Tonight" the bureau is working to determine whether online chatter that surfaced around the time of Kirk's murder indicates foreknowledge of the plot. He cautioned that investigators are still sorting out a timeline. "The only question is the timeline that other people knew about the incident," Bongino said. "Did they know before? Did they know afterward? … When you read some of the...

A group of GOP senators are working on legislation to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies with policy changes designed to win over conservatives, according to four people granted anonymity to disclose private discussions. This group has gotten “technical assistance” from the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the subsidies, according to two of the sources. The Obamacare subsidies are set to expire at the end of this year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, an Alabama Republican running for governor, said in an interview Monday he was “part of that group that’s working on the wording to make sure we do it...
