There's probably no better indicator of Gavin Newsom running for president than his sudden interest in promoting what he calls 'God's will.'Here's his repulsive media interview with Jake Tapper:Gavin Newsom takes a moment away from doing nothing about the 187,084 human beings suffering on the sidewalks of California and sleeping with his campaign manager’s wife to lecture President Trump on “God’s will” pic.twitter.com/aODh3XDn1m — Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) November 9, 2025A multiple-married serial adulterer, a pro-abortion extremist, and an associate of every kind of anti-Catholic activist, he's been a fallen-away Catholic for years.Now he's got religion. But only as a useful...

Line forms to the left, ladies. Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is back on the market after an alleged affair with an out-of-state elected official put the brakes on his 10-month relationship with progressive activist Nomiki Konst, two sources tell The Post. The couple went public with their courtship in February with de Blasio, 64, saying at the time he and Konst, 41, were “kindred souls” who had known each other for a long time. But 10 months later and the erstwhile happy couple is no more, with sources saying the former “The Young Turks” investigative reporter and Bernie...

The government shutdown is reportedly on the verge of coming to an end, but California Governor Gavin Newsom isn’t happy with the terms, which he shared on X. In a post that went up on Sunday, Newsom reacted to the government shutdown possibly coming to an end, writing: “Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!” The post has received 423K views, 13K likes, 2.2K re-shares, and 519 comments. At first glance, the government shutdown coming to an end would seem like a good thing, but according to Newson, Democrats should hold out. And based on...

Thanks to the good work of Blaze Media’s Steve Baker, we now have a plausible suspect in the January 6 pipe bomb plot, a former Capitol Police officer and reportedly a current CIA associate by the name of Shaun Rae Kerkhoff.“While nothing is 100% certain and everyone is innocent until proven guilty,” Baker posted on X, “gait recognition software identified a 94% match. Video proximity tracking and human analysis by federal intel sources take it to what I’m told is a 96-98% certainty.”For all the reporting on Baker’s discovery—and it’s important to note that Kerkhoff has not been charged nor...

A Washington congresswoman is pointing the finger at daylight saving time for her son’s recent mishap in which he incurred a bad bloody nose, using the incident as a springboard to do away with the semiannual changing of the clocks altogether. “My kid just got his first gusher bloody nose. Thank you Daylight Savings Time for this annual rug pull,” Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, 37, perplexingly wrote on X and Facebook Sunday. “And it’s not just about tired kids bumping into s–t – research shows car and other accidents spike in the days and weeks following the time change,”...

Moved almost to tears, three of US President Donald Trump’s closest confidants stood together…on the stage at Hostages Square – a central Tel Aviv plaza that, since the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre, has become the beating heart of weekly demonstrations calling for the release of Israelis still held captive in Gaza and, increasingly, for an end to the war. It was Witkoff’s third visit to Hostages Square in less than a year, and that compares with not a single visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or most of his ministers. The hostages’ families have described many times their connection...

Diplo is poking fun at his viral joke that he dated both Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. The DJ shared a selfie with the former Prime Minister of Canada on Monday, cheekily captioning the photo with Perry song title, “The one that got away.” In the selfie, Diplo and Trudeau both make comically shocked faces. Diplo’s famous friends were amused by the post. Paris Hilton commented with a crying laughing emoji while Ryan Tedder wrote, “Damn.”

Power will be cut for between eight and 16 hours across most regions of Ukraine on Sunday, state transmission system operator Ukrenergo has said, after Russian attacks targeting energy infrastructure reduced the country’s generating capacity to “zero”.Moscow, which has escalated attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure in recent months, launched hundreds of drones at energy facilities across the country from Friday into Saturday, which killed at least seven people, according to Ukrainian officials.The Russian attacks have disrupted electricity, heat and water supplies in several Ukrainian cities, with state power firm Centerenergo warning generating capacity “is down to zero”.While the situation had somewhat...

https://babylonbee.com/news/man-converts-to-7th-day-adventism-so-he-can-watch-nfl-all-sunday-long FRESNO, CA — Local man Dennis Townsend has converted to Seventh Day Adventism in order to spend all Sunday sitting on the couch watching NFL games. Long frustrated by missing the early slate of games for church, Townsend could hardly believe his luck when he learned of a group that only has church on Saturday. "You mean, you never have church on Sunday? Like, you never once miss kick-off?" asked Townsend. "Well, I'm convinced. The evidence for Seventh Day Adventism is just overwhelming, and I literally have no choice but to convert." Townsend states that his religious conversion has...

The Senate was on track Sunday night to pass a deal that could end the federal government shutdown, which began on Oct. 1.

The historic 40-day government shutdown could soon be a thing of the past with Democrats finally joining Republican rivals to strike a temporary deal to end the chaos. Lawmakers were locked in tense negotiations during a rare Sunday session in an effort to find a solution to the shutdown, which has left 42 million Americans with no access to their SNAP benefits, forced airlines to cancel thousands of flights and left more than a million federal workers without an income. But now there is light at the end of the tunnel after insiders confirmed to CNN and Axios Republicans had...

FBI & DEA Raids Governor’s Office in Massachusetts — 1.2 Tons Drug, 129 Guns Seized | US Military Breaking operation in Massachusetts. FBI and DEA, supported by US Military intelligence units, coordinated with US Military analysts to launch a raid inside the Governor’s Office, uncovering 1.2 tons of narcotics, 129 firearms, and corruption. This was not a street case; it was betrayal inside the seat of power. US Military support teams secured communications and perimeter control. Federal agencies and the US Military acted together when national security and trust were threatened. This case reveals how deep networks infiltrate government institutions.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired or sidelined at least two dozen generals and admirals over the past nine months in a series of ousters that could reshape the U.S. military for years to come. His actions, which are without precedent in recent decades, have come with little explanation. In many cases, they have run counter to the advice of top military leaders who fought alongside the officers in combat, senior military officials said. The utter unpredictability of Mr. Hegseth’s moves, as described in interviews with 20 current and former military officials, has created an atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust...

Believing they’re “winning” the government shutdown, Democrats are playing a dangerous game of chicken, aiming to keep on exploiting the public’s misdirected ire — without it being turned on them. Yet what’s already a record-long federal closure could blow up in their faces if their scheming means millions of Americans can’t see grandma at Thanksgiving. Even though it’s the Dems refusing to let the government reopen, Senate and House Minority Leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries & Co. bet that voters would finger Republicans for gumming up the works. The gamble seemingly paid off Tuesday, as Democrats outperformed expectations in...

Kirill Dmitriev — Vladmir Putin’s special envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund — is suddenly ubiquitous. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has been largely quiet since his maximalist negotiating approach with Team Trump failed. Moscow, presumably largely guided by Lavrov, after winning a concession on Tomahawk missiles, opted to continue Putin’s hardline demands for ending the war in Ukraine ahead of the proposed Trump-Putin summit in Budapest. NATO would have to admit that it was the root cause of the war. Kyiv would have to cede all of the Donbas, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine would...

Sergei Lavrov has been sidelined by Vladimir Putin after his failure to organise a summit with Donald Trump in Budapest, according to reports. The Russian daily Kommersant, a privately owned pro-Kremlin outlet, said that Russia’s long-time foreign minister was “deliberately absent” from a key security council meeting earlier this week. The 76-year-old will also no longer represent Moscow at the upcoming G20 summit, which is scheduled for November 22 and 23 in Johannesburg. Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, did not give any explanation for Mr Lavrov’s absence from the key summit, which will be attended instead by Maxim Oreshkin, Putin’s deputy...

In this video, I explain why my old crew would never back defunding police or Marxist policies, how our neighborhood code demanded law and order, and what would happen if we let a communist marshal our streets. Get ready for an insider’s look at the principles that once ruled the underworld—and why they’d move heaven and earth to stop this mayor.
