On May 27th AOC participated in a large gathering for the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. In so doing, she taught us something about her and something about Islam. First among them was that Muslim men couldn't give a damn. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seemingly ignored by attendees at an Eid al-Adha event, with fellow participants loudly talking over her, according to a viral video.The Representative went to a celebration of the Muslim holiday with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the Bronx on Wednesday, during which she wore a scarf as a hijab.Mamdani, the city's first Muslim mayor, wore an...

A new drug for pancreatic cancer is showing promise in early testing. Daraxonrasib is a daily pill designed to block cancer signals linked to the RAS gene. It has now finished an early-stage clinical trial — the first time it was tested in people — to evaluate both its safety and effectiveness. The clinical trial, led by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, tested the drug in 168 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer whose tumors had mutations in the RAS gene. All study participants had previously received at least one chemotherapy treatment.

A charter bus driver has been charged after he allegedly caused a fatal crash in Virginia that left five people dead. Jing S. Dong, a Staten Island, New York-based driver and non-English-speaking naturalized citizen from China who obtained his commercial license in 2024, has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter and has additional charges pending, the Virginia State Police said on Saturday. Dong allegedly slammed into an SUV in front of his E&P Travel bus in the southbound lane of Interstate 95, causing that driver to crash into another vehicle around 2:35 a.m. Friday in Stafford County. A...

A real autopsy from the party would have concluded that voters rejected Democrats in the last election because of their anti-American policies. It was the anticlimax of the year when last week Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin finally released his party’s “autopsy” analyzing what led to its spectacular failure in 2024. It’s almost 200 pages long, but I’ll save you some time: There’s nothing in it about the Democrat Party’s fundamentally anti-American positions and therefore no indication that Democrats are interested in adapting to voters; rather, they’re still dead-set on physically eliminating their opposition. The report’s debut was...

I would have missed this if it weren’t for my brilliant friend Brian Sullivan. Brian texted me the Spencer Pratt video below with the comment: “This is great.” Fact-check: True. Indeed, the ad conveys something like a timeless truth. Whether Pratt wins or loses his race for mayor of Los Angeles, we’ll always have Paris…I mean the Pratt — the rejection of leftist bromides and the aversion to the media diet depicted in the video. As my friend says, this is great.

Getting the location of troops at war might be as easy as buying the data from a legitimate business. America’s foreign adversaries have exploited commercial geolocation data tied to US troops, the Pentagon admits, using it to target or surveil US personnel in the Middle East. Despite that, the Defense Department hasn’t exactly moved fast to secure the information, elected officials say. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), Representative Pat Harrigan (R-NC), and a dozen other Congress critters sent a letter to DoD CIO Kirsten Davies on Thursday, demanding a change in smartphone security posture among US military branches. Included in the...

Graham Platner exchanged sexually explicit texts with multiple women while married to his wife, Amy Gertner, his campaign confirmed to POLITICO on Saturday, the latest scandal he has faced since launching his Maine Senate campaign last year.In a statement, Gertner slammed a former friend for spreading “malicious gossip” in the wake of a Wall Street Journal report that she had informed her husband’s campaign of the texts in late August.“I confided deeply personal details about my marriage to someone I considered a friend,” she said. “In the months since, I have had to watch as she spread malicious gossip to...

President Donald Trump fired back at critics of his health and cognitive abilities just two weeks before his 80th birthday, repeating his new favorite moniker for his Democrat critics, calling out the "Dumocrats." "All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests," Trump wrote in an overnight Truth Social post. "Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it!" Trump is set to become only the second president to serve at the advanced age of 80 after former President Joe Biden. "The results of my Physical Examination, taken at Walter Reed Military Medical Center,...

Riots immediately erupted in the French capital following Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over London’s Arsenal Football Club in the Champions League Final on Saturday. In a press conference on Sunday morning, French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez revealed that a 24-year-old man died after a scooter accident on the Paris ring road, while a 17-year-old is currently in hospital in life-threatening condition after being stabbed in the 16th arrondissement. Nuñez said that a total of 780 arrests were made across the country in relation to the Champions League Final, representing a 30 per cent increase over last year. According to updated figures...

NEWARK, N.J. – As he navigated the crowds in an impromptu appearance at a protest outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker defended figures in the pro-China activist network funded by American Marxist tech millionaire Neville Roy Singham as "wonderful people," while dismissing scrutiny surrounding his Cuba trip. Asked about reporting on Singham's network and its connections to far-left activism, Piker said there is "this environment of suspicion" surrounding Singham and his activities, taking a "sinister shape," but they are "totally above board and totally legal." In recent months, many agitators from the Singham network...

Democrats are building a foundation for the obliteration of the Second Amendment. In the Heller and Bruen decisions, the Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment acknowledges, but does not create, a fundamental, unalienable, individual right. Unalienable rights are bestowed by God; government cannot give or take them. The Court also ruled Americans may carry guns—mostly concealed handguns--wherever they go, with some exceptions such as courtrooms, jails, law enforcement facilities, and other “sensitive” areas. An equally important ruling was that guns in common use are presumptively constitutional. Those decisions made Democrat heads explode and contributed mightily to their cries of Supreme...

A federal judge in New Hampshire on Thursday ruled the state’s 2024 law requiring first-time voters in the state to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote is unconstitutional. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Samantha Elliott on HB 1569 is being viewed as a strong rebuke of the Republican-backed policy, considered by voting rights advocates to be one of the nation’s most restrictive laws regarding U.S. citizenship and the right to vote. “New Hampshire’s interest in election integrity cannot justify the burden on New Hampshire voters based on the evidence in this case,” said Elliott in...

So this is where wokeness has dragged us. Into a moral abyss where a boy is handcuffed by cops as he bleeds to death. Into a wasteland of virtue where an 18-year-old lad, stabbed five times, is treated as a speechcriminal as he gasps his final breaths. Into a sorry, dystopic excuse for a society where the last words a youngster hears are the defamatory cries of the man who killed him. ‘He was racist’, his murderer said. ‘I can’t breathe’, the boy begged.The case of Henry Nowak has shocked the nation. He was a Polish-Briton in his first year...

You might not know his name, but without Carl Vinson, the world, and certainly the US Navy, might have been vastly different.

WOW!!! After violent leftist rioters were cleared outside of Newark ICE detention center by police, the supplies left behind by them are STAGGERING! Who is funding all of this?! It certainly looks like a massively organized operation, not a 'grass roots campaign' that just sprang up... Of course the MSM will NEVER LET YOU SEE THIS................. 1:43 VIDEO AT LINK..........

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who earlier embraced protesters outside a federal immigration detention center in Newark, acknowledged early Sunday that some had engaged in “dangerous actions” against local police as escalating violence forced the city’s mayor to impose an emergency curfew. Protesters grew increasingly aggressive Saturday night as they threw projectiles, grabbed security barriers and set fires outside ICE’s Delaney Hall facility. Mayor Ros J. Baraka admitted some were arrested in possession of weapons, necessitating the curfew. The escalating violence created an embarrassment for Democrats like Sherrill who had embraced the protests just 24 hours earlier and asked ICE...

Record-low trust in institutions, deepening regional and cultural divides, political violence, and a populace increasingly viewing opponents as existential enemies is a warning of worse to come. Rudyard Lynch, the sharp-eyed analyst behind the YouTube channel WhatifAltHist, has issued sobering warnings about America’s trajectory. Drawing on historical patterns of civilizational stress, elite overproduction, cultural fragmentation, demographic pressures, and fading social trust, Lynch argues that the United States faces a high risk of internal conflict or civil war. His theory resonates because the data is hard to dismiss: record-low trust in institutions, deepening regional and cultural divides, sporadic political violence, and...
