If you’re hurling scalding-hot mashed potatoes at your spouse, chances are you’re not the good guy in the relationship. That’s exactly what Dem. Rep. Katie Porter is accused of in official court documents. During their divorce, Porter’s ex-husband described her as a raving lunatic filled with rage and detailed a really disturbing pattern of domestic abuse and explosive, uncontrolled behavior.Just recently, we covered Katie Porter’s disastrous CBS interview, where she once again lost her temper and threatened to walk off set. Clearly, Katie struggles to control her emotions… just like so many Dems these days, right?A new video making the...

Tough noogies, asthmatics! CNN has officially pinned your breathing tool as the latest climate change threat to the environment. Jen Christensen of the CNN Health & Climate Unit railed against respiratory-challenged individuals’s survival tool in an October 6 story headlined: “Climate pollution from inhalers has the impact of half a million cars per year, study finds.” Apparently being full of hot air is no longer just an idiom for the lefty media. Christensen’s story was utterly ridiculous from the start: “The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to...

President Trump was not a happy camper when he stepped off a faulty escalator on his way to address the United Nations General Assembly recently. By the time he had finished speaking, many in that self-important assemblage were in an even worse mood. Trump was not the only world leader firing bullets into the UN’s climate and environmental policies that heretofore have been deemed sacrosanct but are now exposed as economy killers. While China is not subject to the UN’s meddling scrutiny, Europe and Africa (and the U.S.) are. While Trump devoted the bulk of his address to foreign policy...

If you can’t leave them, sell them or send them to a sanctuary, what do you do? While Marineland doesn’t have any current plans to euthanize the 30 belugas swimming around what's left of the Niagara Falls amusement park, the company threatened to do so last week in a letter to Canada’s federal Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson which was obtained by CBC News. The park would be faced with the “devastating decision of euthanasia” unless the federal government could provide them financial support, Marineland said in a letter. The message came days after the minister denied Marineland’s request for permits...

JANAF said that the company is financially strong and stable, and well-prepared for all market challengesBELGRADE, October 9. /TASS/. JANAF, the Croatia-based operator of the Adriatic oil pipeline, informed that there is no opportunity since October 8 to perform the oil transportation contract with Serbian NIS because it did not secure a required license. "JANAF has received information that the company NIS has not obtained the license required to continue implementing the Crude Oil Transport Contract, meaning that, as of 8 October 2025, further implementation of the contract will no longer be possible," the oil pipeline operator said. "JANAF continues...

New allegations that Texas Representative Sheila Jackson Lee went on a verbally abusive and curse-laden tirade against staff members have prompted backlash on social media.

"Are you aware that James Comey used to be a communist. In a 2003 interview with New York Magazine, James Comey said before voting for Jimmy Carter in 1980, he'd been a communist. He admitted 'I moved from Communist to whatever I am now' ... The CIA Director and the FBI Director [under Obama] both had histories of not just flirtation, but serious immersion into communism. And like the KGB always said, 'No one ever leaves, the KGB,' Nobody ever leaves this way of thinking." SNIP

A small asteroid narrowly missed Earth over Antarctica, passing within the altitude of the International Space Station. Credit: Shutterstock ===================================================================== Asteroid 2025 TF zoomed over Antarctica just 266 miles above Earth, roughly the same height as the ISS. Detected only hours later, the 1–3 meter rock posed no threat but provided valuable data for astronomers. Close Encounter Over Antarctica In the early hours of October 1, Asteroid 2025 TF swept over Antarctica at 00:47:26 UTC ± 18 seconds, passing within just 428 ± 7 km (266 ± 4 miles) of Earth’s surface. That distance places it nearly at the same...

Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is continuing his fight to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with the introduction of HR 114, which would “completely–and responsibly–repeal Obamacare.” Biggs has been fighting for years to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, calling it “a disaster that never worked and only led to increased premiums across the country.” One of the key issues underlying Biggs’ call for complete repeal of the ACA is that it has caused healthcare costs to skyrocket and is only affordable when it is heavily subsidized by...

We need more America First Americans just like this intelligent young man. Don't judge a book by its cover.

What in the Benjamin C. Bradlee is going on with The Washington Post editorial board? After shocking the internet by conceding that Obamacare was really just an expensive mess, the newspaper seems to have red-pilled itself hard again. The Post once again tackled the ongoing political standoff between the GOP and Democrats over the Schumer shutdown, surprisingly chastising liberal lawmakers for being stubborn by continuingly voting down the Republican clean continuing resolution (CR). Then came a jaw-dropping admission from the liberal newspaper: “The government is too big. There is plenty of fat to cut.” But the newspaper even took it...

In a recent article, Emily Wood Hawley passionately remarks, “Marriage does not truly exist outside of what God established — a sacred union between one man and one woman for life — because the state cannot redefine an institution God ordained.” The redefinition Hawley is referring to is the Obergefell v. Hodges decision of 2015. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion which was handed down in a 5-4 vote stating that homosexual marriage was a Constitutionally legitimate right that belonged to all homosexuals in the USA. Justice Kennedy gave three reasons in SCOTUS’ landmark decision why homosexual marriage is...

Tuesday pro-Hamas “peaceful” protests in the Colombian cities of Bogotá and Medellín concluded with numerous acts of vandalism and clashes between violent protesters and law enforcement, leaving several injured. Colombian leftists held a series of pro-Hamas rallies on Tuesday in Bogotá, Medellín, and other cities to mark the second anniversary of Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack on Israel, in which the jihadist group killed, raped, and tortured random civilians, including children and newborn babies, leaving some 1,200 people dead and hundreds taken hostage. The protests appear to have the tacit endorsement of Colombian far-left President Gustavo Petro, who shared footage of...

No criminal charges will be filed in the case of August Borden, the Deshler High School teen who was seriously injured in August.

Van Jones blames “the Jews” for media silence on Nigerian massacres—but the real reason isn’t anti-Semitic conspiracy; it’s the left’s selective outrage and ideological blind spots. Van Jones, the CNN host and commentator, recently complained that neither the global left nor the mainstream media are covering the horrific violence against Nigerian civilians by Islamic terrorists. True, they are not reporting the slaughter. Truer still, they should be. However, Van Jones went completely off the rails when he blamed “the Jews.” Or as he put it, “No Jews, no news”—a stereotyped statement as anti-Semitic as it is untrue. In truth, lots...

An Indiana man accused of stabbing a 69-year-old at a gas station has ignited outrage after records revealed a staggering criminal history – nearly 100 prior arrests – with little to show in the way of punishment. Courtney Boose, 41, was arrested after the alleged gas-station stabbing, according to the Lawrence Police Department and Fox 59, which reported that Boose has been arrested 99 times over the years on charges ranging from theft and trespassing to battery. Despite that record, court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital show he’s never served a day in state prison. Boose’s long paper trail...

Reuters on Monday published a report on InfinitUs Marketing Solutions, a Philippine marketing agency that was allegedly hired by the Communist Chinese government to wage an “infowar” campaign against America’s security alliance with the government in Manila. Much of the activity China paid for consisted of old-fashioned astroturfing — fake social media accounts created by InfinitUs Marketing Solutions to make it look like a groundswell of Filipinos were in love with China, hated the United States, and wanted their own government to stop resisting China’s aggressive territorial claims in the South China Sea. According to documents obtained by Reuters and...

A Texas mother was shot dead outside a PetSmart after confronting a young woman who failed to say 'thank you' when she held the door open for her. Cecilia Simpson, 41, was out shopping with her daughter in Dallas’s Oak Cliff neighborhood on Tuesday when an argument over a woman’s lack of manners exploded into gunfire - leaving the mother dead from multiple bullet wounds. The suspect, 22-year-old Keona Zachyua Hampton, told police she was 'just trying to get Simpson away from her,' according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox 5 News. She was taken into custody at Dallas...
