  • Ukraine's 'Highway of Death': How drones are strangling Russia's southern supply line

    Russia has a problem it cannot bomb its way out of. For months, Ukraine has been quietly dismantling the one road that keeps Russia's southern war machine alive — a highway so critical that without it, Crimea starves, and the front line goes cold. On May 27th, Kyiv stopped being quiet about it. Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov formalized what had been a covert campaign into a declared strategic program, announcing a $113 million initiative he calls a "logistics lockdown." The target is the R-280 highway — also known as the M-14, renamed by Russian occupation authorities the "Novorossiya" route....
  • NYC Councilwoman and congressional candidate Julie Won ‘squatted’ in luxury Queens condo: landlord (owes $25k)

    An NYC councilwoman running for Congress owes $25,000 in back rent after squatting for five months in a luxury high-rise, according to her ex-landlord and court documents. Councilwoman Julie Won (D-Queens) and her family vacated a one-bedroom condo at swanky Skyline Towers on Long Island City’s waterfront on Monday — three days after being slapped with eviction papers by the condo’s owner, Justin Chae, a top NYC political consultant and former family friend. The gleaming-glass, 67-story skyscraper includes a fitness center with a swimming pool, a sauna and spa, a yoga room, and other A-list amenities. However, Won insisted to...

    Archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority and Cologne University have made an unexpected discovery in Israel's Negev Desert: carved figurines with apparent African origins.The figurines were uncovered during excavations at Tel Malhata, an elliptical-shaped mound located in the eastern sector of the Arad -- Beer-sheba Valley.The site is often identified as Moladah, the biblical town of Simeon, and one of the cities of Judah (although other identifications have been suggested). Previous excavations at the Tel have found occupational layers dating from the Middle Bronze Age to the Byzantine period.According to a study published in 'Atiqot -- Publications of the Israel...

    California is using the Federal mail system to corruptly elect Federal representatives (and state and local officials). So don't recognize their corrupt election/certification system. Don't seat their representatives. There goes 53 seats in the Congress until you stop the corruption.
  • Fetterman vows to ditch hoodie for suit if Graham Platner proves he didn’t send ‘d--- pics’ to minors

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) pledged to wear a suit “every day” if embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner can prove he didn’t send “d–k pics” to minors. The extraordinary hoodie challenge came during Fetterman’s appearance on Fox News Saturday in America, where he referred to Platner, who admitted he had an active Kik account while newly married, as “P-Hustle” – Platner’s user name. The term drew a head-shake from interviewer Kayleigh McEnany. “P-Hustle, here’s a great chance. You can just prove that all these people that you’re dropping those d–k pics and saying these things to were over 18. “I...

    How does the third place candidate win the majority of late arriving ballots? Last time around, Karen Bass lost the mayoral election both rounds and then won it with ‘late arriving ballots’. The way the game is being played this time is even sleazier with an attempt to knock out Spencer Pratt, who finished second on Election Night, in the first round with a whole lot of ‘late arriving ballots’ for the third place candidate, Nithya Raman. It’s not remotely credible for a third place candidate who finished on Election Night in the twenties to be picking up 40% of...

"The "Windsor" were actually The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha until they decided to change names to conceal their German roots.

    Before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, every seat in T-Mobile Arena had a rally towel with Mitch Marner's face printed on it. By the end of the second period, the Vegas Golden Knights star had made it his night with a record-setting hat trick. With his natural hat trick in the second period, Marner recorded the fastest three goals by a single player in Cup finals history. He needed six minutes and 10 seconds to score thrice and give Vegas a 4-0 lead. The previous record was three goals in 6:21 in Game 1 of the 1957 Cup...
  • Vegas Golden Knights Outlast Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3

    Shea Theodore was credited with a goal at 5:38 of the second overtime, avoiding what could have been a potentially devastating loss for the Golden Knights after they blew a four-goal lead, and Vegas defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. Vegas took a 2-1 series lead after Theodore's shot was gathered by Carolina forward Jordan Martinook who banked it in off goaltender Brandon Bussi's skate. Since Theodore was the last Golden Knight to touch the puck, he was awarded the goal. "At that point, you are just trying to get...
  • Receiving the Word in Humility - Evangelical Caucus/Devotional

    Gracetoyou.org ^ | John MacArthur, Grace Community Church
    "In humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls" (James 1:21). A humble heart is a teachable heart. Scripture speaks of a past, present, and future aspect of salvation. You have been saved from the penalty of sin (salvation), are being saved from the power of sin (sanctification), and will ultimately be saved from the presence of sin (glorification). At first glance James 1:21 may sound like it's written to unbelievers, urging them to receive the Word, which is able to redeem them. But the phrase "save your souls" carries the idea that the implanted Word...
  • Social Security faces a 24% cut in 2032—that’s a $345 billion hit to retirees nationwide, watchdog says

    Social Security is barreling toward a 24% across-the-board benefit cut in 2032 that would slash roughly $500 a month from the average retiree's check — a hit that totals about $345 billion a year nationwide, according to a first-of-its-kind report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a Washington fiscal watchdog. Yet as that fiscal cliff draws closer, the Trump administration is simultaneously pushing Wall Street-style Trump Accounts and quietly reshaping the Social Security Administration in ways that already make it harder for millions to access disability benefits. The group warns that without congressional action, "no state would be...

    Daily Readings from the USCCBThe Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of ChristJesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” John 6:51–52 It must have been shocking to Jesus’ listeners the first time He boldly proclaimed that He would give His flesh as spiritual food. Their reaction makes this clear: “How...

    California is still California. Democrats still have the state’s built-in advantage, but the latest unofficial count out of the governor’s primary is the kind of number they usually pretend they never saw. As of the California Secretary of State’s June 6, 2026 update at 6:04 p.m., Democrat Xavier Becerra led with 1,824,635 votes, or 27.0 percent. Republican Steve Hilton sat right behind him at 1,757,533 votes, or 26.0 percent. That is a one-point gap at the top of a statewide governor primary in deep-blue California.
