    Seven people hoping to attend a far-right rally in central London on Saturday have been blocked from entering the country by the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood. Keir Starmer, the prime minister, promised on Monday to block “far-right agitators” hoping to attend the Unite the Kingdom event on 16 May organised by Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Joey Mannarino, a US-based commentator, and Valentina Gomez, a Maga influencer, had their authorisation to enter the UK withdrawn on the grounds that their presence “would not be conducive to the public good”. The identities of the other five banned people...
  • Trump still wants to crack open Fort Knox to personally confirm $700B gold cache has not been stolen

    President Trump believes this is his golden opportunity. The president revealed that he’s still eager to crack open Fort Knox and personally ensure that the nation’s gold reserve — valued at nearly $700 billion — is still in the highly secure bullion depository following an uproar about it last year. “We wanted to go and knock on the door of Fort Knox — a very thick door — and to see whether or not we have any gold in there,” Trump told “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson” in an interview that dropped Sunday. Last year, former Department of Government Efficiency...

    Now, he's back to rethink fast food entirelyWill Young wasn’t even sure his order was possible. He’d heard rumors, of course, but as a kid who’d grown up on the internet of the 1990s, he knew that website whispers didn’t always translate to the real world. He and his buddies, out for a meandering night in Las Vegas, would just have to ask. So, around dinner time on Halloween night in 2004, Young’s laid-back group, including the late Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, stepped up to the counter of a Nevada In-N-Out to test their fate. Would it be possible,...

    US President Donald Trump is intensifying his rhetoric towards Iran and is furious about the proposal it submitted to the US as part of attempts to reach an agreement and end the American war against the Islamic Republic. “Iran’s proposal is stupid. I didn’t even finish reading it. I had an amazing plan after Iran was defeated. They must understand that they will not have nuclear weapons. They are dangerous," Trump declared during an event at the White House today (Monday). He emphasized that “the ceasefire is very weak after the piece of garbage they sent us." Earlier, in an...

    Explanation: These people are not in danger. What is coming down from the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. Luna appears so large here because she is being photographed through a telescopic lens. What is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly disappear behind Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands of Spain off the northwest coast of Africa. The people pictured are 16 kilometers away and many are facing the camera because they are watching the Sun rise behind the photographer. It is not a coincidence that a full moon...

    Fearing mass firings, scientists made a desperate choice that could have lasting repercussionsIt takes a village to preserve the world’s most endangered species, and last year, the team tasked with protecting the Devils Hole pupfish — a critically endangered fish found only in a single pool called Devils Hole in Death Valley National Park — faced an agonizing decision. That March, the number of pupfish had cratered to just 20 individuals, such that the species was facing imminent extinction. At the same time, staff at federal agencies were being laid off en masse by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency...

PHOENIX — The line outside a suburban office building was already 15 people long when Tiffany Hudson showed up with her 7-year-old son cradling his blanket. It was 7 a.m. At the front of the line was a woman hooked up to an oxygen tank who had arrived 90 minutes before the building opened. Like others there, Husdon had come to the Arizona Department of Economic Security office in Surprise, a Phoenix suburb, to find out why the...

    President Donald Trump on Monday stated that the ceasefire with Iran was "on life support" amid a growing diplomatic deadline between Tehran and Washington and the exchange of live rounds across the Persian Gulf. It's unbelievably weak. After reading that garbage they sent over? I didn't even waste my time reading all of it. It's on life support," he told reporters. "I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, 'sir, your loved one has approximately 1% chance of living.'" Trump's remarks came from the Oval Office during an unrelated event. He...

    RedState reported Sunday on the sheer desperation that has set in among Democrats at the state and congressional levels after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the process state Democrats used to put their gerrymander referendum on the ballot was a violation of Virginia's Constitution. Advertisement This effectively nuked the Democrats' plan to implement a new map that potentially would net them another four seats in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, which would have made the congressional delegation 10-1 Democrat-Republican. Perhaps the most extreme of the measures that, per The New York Times, were being considered during a...

    The biggest sporting event in world history might have a less-flattering title soon: the most expensive sporting event in world history. The World Cup, which kicks off June 11 in Mexico City, has become a carnival for the rich so expensive it resembles a monthlong Met Gala. Just last Thursday, FIFA rolled out a $32,970 seat for the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium, triple the cost of its most expensive ticket before then. Even in the group stage, tickets are priced in the hundreds of dollars. So is parking and, in some cities — including New York and Boston...

    Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) has introduced an "Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights" legislation that would dramatically expand government spending for homeless people. "Homelessness is at record levels," she said. "We are morally obligated to do something about it." "Having access to a safe place to live is a human right," Tlaib claimed. "This means that it's the government's responsibility to provide it to the people who need it. Ideally, everyone would be given a real home equivalent to that enjoyed by the average American. However, that would require redirecting the entire annual $1.5 trillion military budget to build and maintain...

    A powerful M5.7 solar flare erupted from the sun on May 10, unleashing an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME) that could deliver Earth a glancing blow later this week and potentially spark northern lights displays at high latitudes. The eruption peaked at 9:39 a.m. EDT (1339 GMT) from sunspot region AR4436, now rotating into Earth's "strike zone" on the sun's northeastern limb. As the active region swings further into view over the next few days, any major flares or CMEs it produces will have a greater chance of being directed toward Earth. While most of the recently launched CME appears...

    WASHINGTON — President Trump called Monday for the temporary suspension of the federal gas tax to give Americans relief at the pump amid surging oil prices caused by the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. “I think it’s a great idea,” Trump told CBS News during a brief phone interview. “Yup, we’re going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas goes down, we’ll let it phase back in.” Gasoline has been taxed at 18.4 cents per gallon since the 1990s to generate up to $40 billion in annual revenue for the Highway Trust...

    Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., cautioned Republicans to be "very careful what you pray for" amid a Trump-backed effort by Republican South Carolina state lawmakers to redraw the state’s map — an effort that would target Clyburn, the lone Democratic member of the state’s U.S. House of Representatives. Deemed a "kingmaker" within the Democratic Party, Clyburn’s endorsement of then–presidential candidate Joe Biden during the 2020 election was widely credited with helping Biden win the presidency. He has been in Congress for more than 30 years, but now faces uncertainty as the South Carolina legislature voted Wednesday to consider redrawing the state’s...

    FRANKLY SPEAKING. By PAT FRANK. WASHINGTON| OF ALL the stories that have come out of Nazi Germany since the unhappy day that Hitler took power, the one that has caused more shivers to run up and down the spine of your correspondent was the news that the Nazis now practice euthanasia to eliminate from their super-state the ill and the aged. This practice isn’t directed against the Jews. It is directed against Hitler’s own people the last, of pure Aryan blood, and it is positive proof that when you deal with Hitler you must not regard him as a human...

    Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and his campaign have put out some brilliant ads as he competes against the failed Democrat incumbent Karen Bass and the far-left democrat socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman (and a host of also-rans), with some saying they are among the best commercials they’ve ever seen.There’s a new spot that debuted Sunday which shows the former reality star, whose house burned to the ground down in the disastrous Pacific Palisades fire in January 2025, that shows he’s got practical ideas to fix the failing city, he understands the pain of regular Angelenos who have seen...
