F-35 Fighter jets and a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft are seen flying over central Iran, reportedly near the crash site of the F-15E, although the terrain does not match the images of the crash site. Iranian state media is now calling on local tribes to capture any surviving pilots to receive a "valuable reward".

SNIP Just as globalists in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and across Old (and increasingly Islamic) Europe turned the “Reign of COVID Terror” into an opportunity to bilk taxpayers, enrich elites, and grow the totalitarian national security State, the same globalist scum quickly turned the Ukraine conflict into another “emergency” requiring more taxes, censorship, and public sacrifice. All of a sudden, anything criticizing the official public policies of Western governments was labeled “Russian disinformation.” If you disagreed with whatever the West’s vaunted “experts” said, you were dismissed as “Putin’s puppet.” Pro tip for information warfare enthusiasts: When...

Matthew Gallagher took just two months, $20,000 and more than a dozen artificial intelligence tools to get his start-up off the ground. From his house in Los Angeles, Mr. Gallagher, 41, used A.I. to write the code for the software that powers his company, produce the website copy, generate the images and videos for ads and handle customer service. He created A.I. systems to analyze his business’s performance. And he outsourced the other stuff he couldn’t do himself. His start-up, Medvi, a telehealth provider of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, got 300 customers in its first month. In its second month, it...

The war has brought intense uncertainty to the south, a predominantly Shiite Muslim area dominated by Hezbollah for decades. This week, Israeli officials offered their most explicit plan to date to occupy a swath of southern Lebanon from the border up to the Litani River after the ground invasion ends. That would amount to about 10 percent of the entire country. Israeli officials have said they aim to establish a “security zone” to prevent the territory from being used to attack Israel. In March, the Israeli military demolished most of the key bridges across the Litani River, in what...

Demand Justice, a liberal organization, has mounted robust efforts to block President Trump’s appointees to the Supreme Court in the past, but never before a vacancy existed. For now, none of the nine Supreme Court justices have announced plans to retire, and Mr. Trump has no looming opportunity to keep stocking the court with younger conservative justices. That isn’t stopping Demand Justice from preparing a multimillion-dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen — with a warning that Mr. Trump could be replacing two justices this year. The preparations come at a moment when Democrats are...

ET phone IT! The Artemis II crew’s early tasks were disrupted by an issue with the shuttle’s Microsoft Outlook less than a day after blasting off into Earth’s orbit. Reid Wiseman, the mission’s commander, reported the problem with the email app to the Houston-based mission control just seven hours after the rocket’s historic launch. “I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working,” Wiseman could be heard saying over dispatch. “If you want to remote in and check the Optimus and those two Outlooks that would be awesome,” he added. Mission control said...

As thousands of Oracle employees awoke on Tuesday to an email informing them they were being laid off, the workers likely didn’t know the tech company had been busy trying to hire foreign staff. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data, Oracle filed for roughly 3,126 petitions to employ H-1B workers in fiscal years 2025 and 2026. Employers must submit the paperwork when seeking to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations like technology. Some 436 of those petitions were filed this year alone. Amazon, which in January said it would axe 16,000 corporate employees, has filed for some 2,675...

The defiant president of the University of Wisconsin system has resisted calls for his resignation, risking expulsion, but he’s been given no reason for his impending termination. Jay Rothman, the head of the public Badger State higher-education network since 2022, shot back at the board of regents last month for him to resign or retire from the post after a “unidentified majority” had lost confidence in his leadership. The former chairman and CEO for Milwaukee-based Foley & Lardner LLP rejected the board’s threat that they were “prepared to terminate my employment despite all that has been accomplished,” he said in...

Reports of multiple unauthorized drones over Barksdale Air Force Base and Fort McNair should alarm every American. Up until now, no threat has been identified. If this were happening overseas, we’d call it pre-operational surveillance. That’s how I was trained. At home, we’re still calling it, "mystery." It’s only a matter of time until a credible threat presents itself. What’s most alarming is that we cannot definitively answer who is flying these drones. all it’s going to take is one single drone to slip through our defenses and kill an American, to cause massive strategic damage to our country. I’ve...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released additional evidence it says confirms that a staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, lied about being an attorney for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in an effort to meet with them and sneak in smuggled cell phones. In March, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons informed Escobar in a letter about Benito Torres, a senior caseworker on the congresswoman's staff, who Lyons said lied about being a lawyer for detainees in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana center at Fort Bliss in El Paso. Lyons requested that...

Top White House aide Stephen Miller joined Vice President JD Vance to launch the White House anti-fraud task force Friday, pledging to "demolish" the kind of corruption that unfairly burdens taxpayers and gives a free ride to bad actors. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump launched the task force via executive order, saying the administration will "use all available resources and authorities to fight fraud, close loopholes, enforce eligibility rules, and protect benefits for eligible Americans, while ensuring States administering Federal benefits programs do the same." Vance serves as its chairman and kicked off the White House event Friday, while...

**Yes, Grok games are coming.** xAI (through Elon Musk's announcements) is actively working on AI-generated games powered by Grok.

Key details from recent updates: - xAI is hiring for roles like "Video Games Tutor" to train Grok on creating engaging, fun, and innovative games. - The vision involves AI that can generate adaptive, prompt-driven playable worlds, blending real-time generation with interactive entertainment. - Earlier teasers (like in 2025) showed Grok 4 prototypes already coding simple games (e.g., action RPGs with enemies and...

BIG: Iranian state media released images of debris from a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet. Iran initially claimed it had shot down an F-35, but the wreckage shown clearly matches an F-15E.

A Great AwakeningA movie about a preacher who was very influential just before the American Revolution and his friendship with Benjamin Franklin. This is movie is true art, an inspiring spiritual journey though time that is a very uplifting experience to watch.

Immerse yourself in 19th-century writings, and you will discover that Democrat slaveholders and segregationists considered themselves the “Negro’s best friend.” That supposed friendship, of course, required that the “Negro” play a role as grateful recipient of the condescending Democrat’s beneficence. That attitude continues to this day. For instance, in a clip posted to the social media platform X, Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures of Alabama, a black man, asked a group of nearly 100 attendees at a town hall meeting, most of them black, to raise their hands if they did not have an ID, only to discover that not one...
