The demonstration, which is part of PACMA’s “Abolition Mission,” marched through some...

The mother of a sniper who killed two migrants in a horror shooting at a Dallas ICE facility was a liberal supporter of anti-gun laws who targeted members of the GOP over mass shootings. Sharon Jahn, the mother of 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, kept an active Facebook page where she followed everyone from Kamala Harris and Rachel Maddow to an account representing the U.S. Democratic Socialists. After the tragic mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas in 2022, she posted a lengthy rant to Facebook challenging Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, as well as Governor Greg Abbott for their support of gun...

Hershey received a treat Friday when a judge dismissed a lawsuit claiming the company's Reese's candies tricked customers by depicting spooky Halloween designs on their packaging, while the unwrapped chocolates were in fact featureless. U.S. District Judge Melissa Damian ruled Friday that the consumers who filed the class-action lawsuit failed to show that the lack of confectionary details on the chocolate and peanut butter candies, such as missing mouths and eyes on jack-'o-lanterns, ghosts and other Halloween-themed figures, had cause them economic harm.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced swift criticism for saying that it was not viable to have former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in 2024 due to him being gay. "I guess I’d ask you to just elaborate on that a little bit. It’s hard to hear," MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Monday during an interview with Harris about her campaign memoir."You’re the first woman elected vice president. You’re a Black woman and a South Asian woman elected to that high office, very nearly elected president. To say that he couldn’t be on the ticket effectively because...

A Muslim man who attacked someone burning a Quran outside the Turkish consulate in London has been spared jail. Moussa Kadri, 59, saw Hamit Coskun setting alight the text and shouted: "I'm going to kill you" before slashing at him with a knife. He later told police he was protecting his religion, Southwark Crown Court heard. Judge Adam Hiddleston handed Kadri a 20-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months.

Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared as the Tuesday guest for "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," where he discussed various topics ranging from health care, his social media strategy, the late Charlie Kirk and President Donald Trump. The governor's appearance came shortly after ABC lifted its suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" The show was abruptly suspended following comments made about Kirk, and Kimmel has since clarified in his return episode that he didn't intend to joke about the assassination. Newsom maintained a mostly playful but at times serious conversation with Colbert, who noted that he had not spoken with Newsom since...

President Trump’s dramatic pronouncement Tuesday that Russia is a “paper tiger” is based on new US intelligence that shows the Kremlin is spiraling toward economic ruin and battlefield defeat as a result of its invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Trump’s insistence in the same statement that Ukraine can regain all the land currently occupied by Russia is the president’s latest “strategic move” to try and bring Russia to the negotiating table, sources inside and outside the White House told The Post Wednesday. -snip- “The president is making it very clear that Russia is in a very weak position,” White House press...

Podcaster and MAGA-friendly comedian Theo Von isn’t happy with his image being used in a Department of Homeland Security video touting the Trump Administration’s deportation numbers. Yesterday DHS posted a 31-second video clip on X that claims 2 million illegal immigrants have been deported during Trump’s second term. The video shows Trump saying, “They simply stopped coming. They’re not coming anymore.” But the video also shows a clip of Von saying, “Heard you got deported, dude — bye.” That comment had been recorded by Von when a fan told him her friend got deported and asked him to record a...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised his "productive meeting" with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, after which Trump appeared to jettison his long-held skepticism of Kyiv's battlefield ambitions. Shortly after the meeting, Trump wrote on social media, "After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form." (snip) But on Tuesday, the...

Conversation Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV A woman 23–25 weeks pregnant, is now on a ventilator from liver failure—she was trying to “prove Trump wrong” about Tylenol & autism because of a TT trend. Doctors say they do NOT expect her to survive. It’s sad that someone could be this brainwashed

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Charleston County magistrate judge who is facing charges in connection with sexually explicit images of children has waived his right to a preliminary hearing. James B. Gosnell Jr., 68, faces charges of possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the United States Department of Justice.

A federal judge handed down a stiff sentence to a man who turned political rage into arson, and it matters. Casey Robert Goonan was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison after a string of firebombings and arsons in the Bay Area. The court applied a terrorism enhancement, and the result should remind anyone tempted by violent activism that the system takes these attacks seriously. On June 1, Goonan placed a bag of six incendiary devices under a UC Police Department patrol car near the UC Berkeley campus, an act caught on surveillance video. Ten days later he attacked an...

The High Cost of Easy Credit: How Consumer Debt Distorted the EconomyIn the past five decades, the expansion of consumer credit has transformed the American economy. What began in the 1970s as a convenient financial tool has become a fundamental pillar of daily life for most households. Credit cards, followed by newer lending models like "Buy Now, Pay Later," have fueled consumption, enabled lifestyle inflation, and propped up economic growth. But beneath the surface lies a troubling reality: easy credit has created a disconnect between buyers and sellers, distorted real demand, inflated prices, and built a fragile foundation of debt.In...

A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an update to make the party's longtime insignia more accurate in reflecting its modern platform and constituency, Democrats unveiled a new logo featuring a donkey holding a sniper rifle. Following a rash of violent crimes perpetrated by members of the political left, the Democratic Party held a closed-door meeting that determined adding a sniper rifle to the logo would best depict what the party stands for and who it represents. "It's the perfect illustration of what our party stands for," said Ken Martin, head of the Democratic National Committee. "Everyone has known the donkey as the...

Illegal migrants being given free taxis to health appointments are being treated as “special cases” by the government. Express columnist Carole Malone said the system makes taxpayers’ “blood boil” as they have to make their own way to hospital while funding transport for asylum seekers. One illegal migrant took a 250-mile journey to visit a GP at a cost to the Home Office of £600. Malone told the Daily Expresso news show: “This is what makes people’s blood boil because sick people can’t get free taxis on the government to get to a hospital to see a doctor.”

On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an advisory for pregnant women to refrain from taking Tylenol or at the very least cut back on their intake of it as a precaution due to a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and autism.The reaction to this announcement by the Associated Press that same day displayed an obvious animus that Science was dying. This fury was reflected in the headline of the AP story by Ali Swenson and Lauran Neergaard: "Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism."
