A Florida woman’s DUI arrest is going viral online after deputies said they found her sitting beside a crashed Hyundai near Streamsong Golf Resort surrounded by dozens of miniature alcohol bottles. According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a single-vehicle crash on May 14 near the resort outside Bowling Green, Florida. When a deputy arrived, they found a red 2018 Hyundai sitting on a sidewalk with 34-year-old Erika Mayer of Palmetto seated nearby. The situation became even stranger after a witness told deputies they had watched the Hyundai being driven across portions of the golf course before...

"Patrick Byrne has just dropped more explosive allegations regarding America’s rigged elections on my TV show. He’s fighting back after Dominion Voting Systems (allegedly!) pushed to destroy key 2020 election discovery evidence."

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who is already facing criticism over past Reddit posts, made graphic sexual comments on his now-deleted account about masturbating in portable toilets and explicit graffiti found in military restrooms. In one March 2017 post on Reddit’s r/Military forum, Platner responded to a discussion about nostalgic military smells by writing: "I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas----er… that blue water smell conditioned me." The archived posts were made under "P-Hustle," a now-deleted Reddit account that Platner previously acknowledged was his. In another post from March 2021 on Reddit’s r/USMC...

The mother of controversial transgender high school track athlete AB Hernandez publicly shared a post slamming California school officials for allowing biological female athletes to receive duplicate podium placements and medals at state track competitions. The post, from the trans active group Rainbow Families Action, included the letter from the California Interscholastic Federation allowing the change ahead of Hernandez’s domination of the long jump, high jump and triple jump at Saturday’s California Interscholastic Federation’s Southern Section championship final. ”All these big, tough ex-athletes at CIF, and the most courage they could muster was to hand this to coaches at AB’s...

As dawn breaks, hundreds of men gather at a dusty square in Chaghcharan, the capital of Ghor province in Afghanistan. They line the roadside with weary faces, hoping someone will come along offering any work. It will determine whether their families eat that day. The likelihood of success, however, is low. Juma Khan, 45, has found just three days of work in the past six weeks that paid between 150 to 200 Afghani ($2.35-$3.13; £1.76-£2.34) per day. "My children went to bed hungry three nights in a row. My wife was crying, so were my children. So I begged a...

This is what a buffoon sounds like. Thomas Massie was a cancer to the Republican Party. He is already being recruited by the Left to join the Democrat Party. The Woke Right is being purged from the Republican Party. While the Democrats continue to elect radical lunatics. After being defeated in the GOP primary, US House Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky tells supporters that he would’ve announced his concession sooner but he first called his opponent “and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.” He also claims in his concession speech that young voters are still...

LOUISVILLE, KY — Representative Thomas Massie has accused the Jewish population of rural Kentucky of being the cause of his primary defeat. After taking the stage to concede the race to Ed Gallrein, an angry Massie squarely laid the blame for his loss on the "dirty Zionists" of the tiny country towns that dot the Ohio River valley. "I couldn't reach Gallrein to concede. He was probably lost with his supporters in yet another small-town Kentucky synagogue," declared Massie. "Yes, the deck was stacked against me by the Hebrew population of rural Kentucky. We ran a great campaign, I'm really...

California’s aggressive push for a $20 fast-food minimum wage was sold as a moral victory for workers, a bold stand against corporate greed that would lift families without consequence. Yet the reality unfolding at Carl’s Jr. locations across the state tells a different story—one of shuttered opportunities, fleeing staff, and franchise operators driven to bankruptcy. What began as political virtue-signaling has delivered economic pain that no amount of union rhetoric can disguise. Friendly Franchisees Corporation, a major operator running dozens of Carl’s Jr. restaurants, filed for Chapter 11 protection last month, citing the wage mandate as a primary driver of...

Five-term Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday. Rabb secured the Democratic nomination for the seat held by retiring Rep. Dwight Evans after securing 44.3% of the vote, according to projections from NBC News. The Pennsylvania state lawmaker’s primary victory comes after he unveiled “parody legislation” in October 2021 to “require all inseminators to undergo vasectomies within six weeks from having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first.” “As long as state legislatures continue to restrict the reproductive rights of cis women, trans men and non-binary people, there should...

We Could, We Should, We MustOn Insects As a Delivery System, and “Beneficial Bloodsucking.”A few summers ago I gave consideration to moving to Florida or Texas. This was 2021 when it felt like there was a collective madness in my hometown of New York City. If you remember that moment, you remember the destinations where people like me were fleeing. I was looking into places like Florida and Texas. The so-called free states, the escape hatches (not my framing but more of a public consciousness in a particular demographic that I had seemed to become a part of). I compiled...

@tetsuoai Henry Nowak was 18 years old. A first year accountancy and finance student at the University of Southampton, walking home from a night out with his football team on December 3rd, 2025. On Belmont Road he was met by a 23 year old named Vickrum Digwa, carrying a 21cm ceremonial blade across his chest. Digwa stabbed him four times. One wound went eight centimeters into his lung. Henry climbed over a fence trying to escape. There was already a blood trail on the street behind him. When police arrived, Digwa told them he had been racially abused. Henry told...

Reason number 999,999,999 why migration is a bad idea. You can’t expect everybody to understand or cater to your religion or your customs. And what happened on a deportation flight from Ireland to Pakistan is a perfect example of that kind of cultural miscommunication. Several Muslim migrants, described as “high risk,” were being removed from the country after previous offenses and bad behavior. During the flight, they were served a full Irish breakfast, which included pork sausage. Irish Times: Catering on deportation flights was changed after pork sausages were included as part of an Irish breakfast served on a forced...

Georgians handed Democrats a decisive defeat on Tuesday by reelecting two Republican-backed candidates in a pair of highly contested state Supreme Court races. In one race, incumbent Justice Charles Bethel is projected to defeat leftist Miracle Rankin. Unofficial results show the former beating the latter by 2.2 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated as of publication, according to The New York Times. Meanwhile, incumbent Justice Sarah Hawkins Warren is projected to defeat left-wing candidate Jen Jordan in a massive landslide. Per the Times, preliminary results show Warren beating Jordan by a whopping 18.6 points, with more than...

Take a walk down memory lane with me. It’s a midterm election, and things are not looking good for the president’s party. A grassroots revolt has erupted among the opposition party, which has infused it with much-needed energy and citizen activism, but has also produced some questionable, untested candidates running for federal office. I’m speaking about 2010, of course. Barack Obama, elected overwhelmingly in 2008, ran into a near immediate backlash to some of his policy initiatives – particularly a federal takeover of the healthcare system – reinvigorating the Tea Party movement among conservatives. The GOP, whose obituary was repeatedly...

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene decried the downfall of her onetime colleague Rep. Thomas Massie following his GOP primary defeat Tuesday night. Greene (R-Ga.), who had allied with Massie (R-Ky.) to force the release of Justice Department files on late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, argued that his defeat by President Trump-supported Ed Gallrein was a death knell to the party. “I am proud and thankful to have served in the US House of Representatives with my friend Thomas Massie, a giant among weak pathetic men. Releasing the Epstein files was our demise,” she moaned on X. “You are...

The preview clip contains the line everyone is already talking about. Hunter looks across at Owens and acknowledges what she has called him for years. Washington Examiner reported on the upcoming interview and the subjects previewed for the episode. Owens is expected to sit down with Hunter Biden for a wide-ranging interview on The Candace Owens Show. The...

Galindo has pushed conspiracy theories involving "billionaire Zionist Jews," human trafficking networks, and claims tying her runoff opponent to them. She's described as a therapist/housing activist with a pattern of inflammatory rhetoric A Democratic candidate in Texas's 35th Congressional District is facing widespread bipartisan condemnation after proposing to convert a federal ICE detention center into an internment camp for "American Zionists" and former ICE officers. Maureen Galindo, who advanced to the May 26 Democratic primary runoff after leading the March primary with about 29% of the vote, made the remarks in a recent Instagram post. She stated she would turn...

Maureen Galindo, who was chosen by Texas Democrats, terrifyingly with about 29% of the vote, to advance to the party's primary runoff for the state's newly redrawn 35th Congressional District, is under fire for inflammatory remarks that include a pledge to send 'American Zionists' to 'internment camps.' In an Instagram post last week, Galindo wrote, "When Maureen gets into Congress, she'll write legislation so that all Zionism and support of Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-Semitic, since it's Zionists harming the Semites." "She'll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officials for human trafficking." "(It...

James Grant @JamesGrantJ6Regarding January 6th from a J6er:You kept us all - from all across the country - in ultra liberal DC… Because you knew we’d get crucified there.. The DC guards spit in our food and didn’t let us outside for recreation, as we watched every other unit go outside. They cooked us in 95° heat when every other floor was comfortable temperature. They left us in jails where sewage flooded the unit and it was so bad, the Marshalls canceled their contracts with themAt the start of it all: 2 feds on either side of me who pushed...

In a Republican-led Congress defined by deference to President Donald Trump, there's a small but steadily growing cohort who have found themselves more willing to break with the White House. Although the president maintains a firm grip on Republican voters, the expanding club could hinder his agenda on everything from the Iran war to immigration funding at a moment when his party holds a tenuous majority on Capitol Hill. Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is the newest member of the club. Just days after losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, Cassidy on Tuesday reversed himself on legislation involving the...
