President Trump accused Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro of being an “illegal drug leader” and announced that his administration is cutting off all subsidies to the Latin American country. Trump further trashed his Colombian counterpart as a “very unpopular leader” and warned Petro to close up alleged drug fields, or else “the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely.” “President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia,” Trump raged on Truth Social. “It has become the biggest...

Trump posts wild AI video showing him flying fighter jet, dropping sewage on No Kings protesters President Trump took a massive dump on his adversaries. The president posted a wild AI-generated video of himself late Saturday as a fighter pilot wearing a crown on his head, unloading sewage on “No Kings” protesters. With “Danger Zone,” the iconic “Top Gun” theme song, blaring in the background, Trump’s fighter jet was shown dropping masses of manure on demonstrators over what appeared to be New York City.

The national body of Students for Justice in Palestine backed Hamas’s grisly public executions of fellow Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, posting “Death to the Occupation, Death to Collaborators” on Instagram. The call for executions followed the murder of “journalist” Saleh Al-Jafarawi, known to critics as “Mr. FAFO” because he would post complaints about Israeli counterattacks after posting happily about Hamas attacks.

Donald Trump aide Harmeet Dhillon, the Indian-origin assistant attorney general for civil rights at the US Department of Justice, reacted to a viral post on an apparent H-1B scam and outrightly rejected it as "illegal". The post claimed that some tech positions are only being advertised in local newspapers so that no one can see them, and they can hire H-1Bs. "A reader from Connecticut shares job listings for tech positions from local newspapers that they intend to fill with Indian H-1Bs," the post said. "None of these jobs can be applied for online. If you want to become a...

"Why do some people who have damage to the lymphatic system get lymphedema while others are perfectly fine?" That's the question Gibson set out to answer in his latest study. Operating on the theory that something in a patient's microenvironment likely makes them more susceptible to lymphatic blockage, the team hoped to gain an understanding of what that might be with the ultimate goal being treatment and, hopefully, prevention. To find answers to his question, Gibson spent more than three years gathering a biobank of 70 patient blood samples to test and, because obesity and being overweight are known risk...

I found a body on the streets of Portland. 911 was called and it took them two hours to arrive. He was clutching tinfoil meaning he died of a fentanyl overdose. I guarded the body because multiple Homeless were trying to go through his pockets. This is not unusual. I find bodies all the time. This is the sad reality of the streets.

A high-sugar, high-fat diet during pregnancy may do more than affect a mom's health—it can also trigger inflammation and gut dysfunction in their children, new research suggests. The study found that poor maternal nutrition impairs intestinal barrier function in the next generation. Researchers studied pregnant nonhuman primates that were fed a high-sugar, high-fat "Western" diet. They analyzed the mothers' blood, RNA and proteins to measure inflammation and cell death. After birth, the researchers examined intestinal tissues from the offspring to evaluate the effect of maternal nutrition on gut health. The offspring of mothers fed a Western diet showed significantly higher...

China is the target. Venezuela is the stage. That is the core claim in OAN‘s Chanel Rion’s latest report about President Trump’s strategy in the Western Hemisphere. If you’re wondering why a drug war narrative is front and center, Rion says it is a cover for a proxy war against China. In her telling, this is Trump’s third straight strike on Beijing’s energy and influence network. If you want to understand the troop movements, the CIA authorities, and all the noise, you have to follow the oil money and the dual-use projects that tie Venezuela to Beijing.Rion frames the past...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is suing Northwestern University on behalf of the school’s Graduate Workers for Palestine, alleging that subjecting students to a mandatory anti-Semitism training violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to a complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The complaint argues that the training violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits any organization that receives federal funds from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin—and says the training bans "expressions of Palestinian identity." Campus CAIR Sues Northwestern, Alleging Anti-Semitism Training a Violation of Civil Rights Act The...

@RepThomasMassie First the British Ambassador lost his job and now the Prince lost his title. Don’t tell us there’s nothing in the Epstein files. The truth is coming out and we will not give up. Repost this and tag @SpeakerJohnson if you want him to quit delaying the vote.

Shame is rapidly becoming a thing of the past in America. But even though the conscience of a nation dies, sometimes things get so bad that shame creeps up again and makes you wish you were a citizen of a different country. Such an example is found on X about a school board in a California school district. Although it’s not much fun or very entertaining to watch, this is the video in which the school board is being questioned by what seems to be a parent. This writer thought at one time that I had seen it all. I...

The so-called “No Kings” protest sweeping the nation, which is organizing nationwide demonstrations on October 18, 2025, across many major cities, is not a spontaneous cry for democracy but the latest orchestrated campaign by Indivisible, a network built by former congressional staffers and funded through George Soros’ Open Society empire. Founded in 2016 by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, Indivisible began as a viral Google Doc that promised to teach progressives how to resist Donald Trump. Within weeks, the founders had transformed it into a professionalized operation flush with cash from the same sources that have quietly shaped left-wing activism...

Connecticut State Senator Saud Anwar (D) who is also a doctor and is from Pakistan, held up this sign at the no kings protest appearing to suggest he hopes Trump gets sick and dies Absolutely disgusting post for a sitting government official and doctor no less! Any comment @CTDems??

... “The capabilities demonstration will feature integrated Navy and Marine Corps operations across air, land and sea,” the statement reads. The statement also indicated “no public highways or transportation routes [would be] closed,” but Caltrans told KTLA on Thursday that they were informed of a potential plan to close the freeway despite their cautioning against it. The department of transportation issued a statement just before 8 a.m. Saturday clarifying details on the shutdown. “Due to safety concerns, a section of Interstate 5 will be closed Saturday due to a White House-directed military event at Camp Pendleton involving live ammunition being...
