“Who’s The Boss?” star Alyssa Milano revealed Thursday she went under the knife to remove her breast implants to rid herself of her “abused” body. Milano shared a hospital gown selfie on Instagram. “Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me,” she wrote in her lengthy caption. The 80s star continued, “I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized, that was abused, that I believed was necessary for me to be attractive; to be loved; to be successful; to be happy.”

I am looking to borrow dvds for the show Man in the High Castle. Does anyone have them to borrow?

Trump blasted the UN as corrupt, anti-American, and obsessed with “woke nonsense,” vowing to cut funding while pushing it to focus on peace and real security. During his address to the United Nations General Assembly this week, President Trump denounced the UN for its uselessness in ending wars, stating that the world organization is not living up to its potential and pointedly asked, “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” This is a question many Americans have asked recently as they watched President Trump and his foreign policy team try to end wars around the world while the UN...

Earlier this year, a violent lefty attacked a pro-life podcaster on the streets of New York, punching her in the face because that's how it works if you're a lefty. She's being released with no consequences, of course.

Today a grand jury in northern Virginia indicted James Comey on two criminal counts that I take to be essentially the same. The indictment has nothing to do, at least directly, with Comey’s misconduct in connection with the Russia Collusion Hoax. He deserves to go down in history as a betrayer of his office and of the American people for that shameful conduct. Here, he is charged with a single misdeed: lying when he told a Senate committee, in response to a question from Ted Cruz, that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source....

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. In her post, McMath wrote: “Racist dog whistles abound on Jacksonville’s City Council. It was on full display last night (September 9) as the grand wizard who calls himself Rory Diamond attempted to attack every group of people — his constituents — that do not look like him. His MAGA maneuvers are gross and dangerous. Gratitude for the Council people who stood up against this foolishness and walked out… Jim Crow 2.0 in Jax ain’t no lie.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is set to gather senior generals and admirals in Quantico Sept. 30 for a high-stakes, unprecedented meeting shrouded in mystery. Some really big news in the American military community broke this week, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is convening an unprecedented meeting of his senior generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, September 30th. As the proprietor of a somewhat prolific X account that largely focuses on military matters, many people have been asking me what I think this meeting is all about, as the meeting is currently shrouded in mystery. So what...

Nicole Mitchell was sentenced to 180 days on work release for an incident in 2024 when she broke into her stepmother Carol Mitchell’s home, clad in a black cat outfit.

Mitchell will be imprisoned for roughly 6 months, but is allowed to leave each day to work at Dunkin’. INBOX: Former Sen. Nicole Mitchell (D), sentenced...

A Rancho Santa Margarita man suspected of fatally shooting a Carlsbad woman during a carjacking on Friday was later killed in a shootout with Orange County law enforcement, authorities said. Carlsbad police responded to reports of gunfire just before 10 p.m. Friday at an apartment complex in the 2300 block of Rising Glen Way. Officers found an unresponsive woman with gunshot wounds.

Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied to Congress and the American people when he said under oath that there were no FBI agents undercover on January 6. – Congressional video VIDEOS AT LINK.................. It appears that James Comey could have a familiar cellmate when he is finally sent to prison for lying under oath to Congress and the American people. Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021. In a bold statement that directly contradicts multiple official sources, FBI Director...

“‘As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life’” (John 3:14–15). To emphasize for Nicodemus that there was no excuse for him to be ignorant of the way of salvation, Jesus appealed to a familiar incident in the Old Testament (Num. 21:5–9). The event took place during Israel’s forty years of wilderness wandering after leaving Egypt and before entering the Promised Land. As a judgment on the people’s incessant complaining, the Lord sent venomous snakes to infest their camp. In...

Hidden for four years, an after-action report on FBI's involvement in Jan. 6 riot found by Director Patel shows dozens of agents feared that the FBI had become "woke" and "liberally biased." ============================================================= The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four...

The front line on the battlefield in Ukraine has grown in length to nearly 1,250 kilometers (800 miles), stretching Kyiv’s defenses, while Russian forces employ a new tactic of sending swarms of small assault groups to infiltrate Ukrainian lines, Ukraine’s top military commander says. The line of contact has grown by roughly 200 kilometers (120 miles) over the past year, and Ukrainian forces are averaging between 160 and 190 combat engagements every day with Russia’s bigger army, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a review of the battlefield situation. At the same time, Russian tactics have switched since the start of...

I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring...

Former FBI Director James Comey has declared himself "not afraid" of President Donald Trump's Justice Department after being indicted Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way," Comey, who denies the allegations, said in an Instagram video. "We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she's right." "But I'm not afraid,"...

A new study suggests that fetal exposure to acetaminophen significantly increases the risk of ADHD in children, raising concerns about its safety during pregnancy. While acetaminophen has long been considered a low-risk pain reliever for pregnant women, this research—tracking a cohort of over 300 mothers—found that children exposed to the drug had nearly double the likelihood of developing ADHD. The effect was even more pronounced in girls, though researchers are unsure why. Acetaminophen in Pregnancy: A Hidden Risk? A new study published in Nature Mental Health suggests that fetal exposure to acetaminophen may increase the risk of ADHD in children....

Much of America’s youth is in free fall, with the only question being why. On every metric, our kids lag behind the world, are abysmally unhappy and unprepared for a life that’s less kind and forgiving than it was fifty years ago. It didn’t happen by accident, and the divided nature of our country means we are unprepared to make necessary changes. Our society tolerates confrontation and excuses, always finding superficial reasons why Johnny can’t read, and why everyone’s so angry. It’s certainly not about money; we spend more per pupil than anyone else. SNIP During COVID, roughly 31% of...

Tom Wolfe, the celebrated author of The Right Stuff and The Bonfire of the Vanities, famously skewered New York’s cultural elite in his 1970 essay “Radical Chic.” He brilliantly satirized a high-society dinner party where wealthy Manhattanites, dressed in their finest, toasted their own virtue while feigning solidarity with the Black Panthers. The posturing that Wolfe’s original critique targeted has since devolved into something far more chilling: a modern cynical flirtation with violence and extremism, best described as terrorism chic. Mind you, our cultural elite don’t do the actual terrorism. They leave the dirty work to their more fervent devotees,...
