ABC’s The View celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by literally laughing at the idea that white people could be discriminated against in any way. While they were laughing at the notion and suggesting it wasn’t real, staunchly racist co-host Sunny Hostin defended the idea of discriminating against whites and claimed that President Trump was trying to “erase” black history. Additionally, moderator Whoopi Goldberg openly mocked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for caring about discrimination against white people.

Trump said in the post on Wednesday: "The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil. "Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being 'gouged.'" He added that he had ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to "immediately start looking into this".

France has confirmed its first case of Ebola - a doctor who had returned from a humanitarian mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The doctor was "immediately admitted to a specialised facility" and is in a stable condition, the French health ministry said on Wednesday. DR Congo announced an Ebola outbreak last month, but experts believe the virus had been circulating for weeks previously. More than 260 people are confirmed to have died from the virus in the central African country, while 1,000 people have been infected. This is the first Ebola case to have been confirmed in Europe,...

President Donald Trump abruptly canceled his plans to sign a major, bipartisan housing bill Wednesday, saying he will not do so until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, a sweeping elections bill that has become a focal point of his second term. “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” he posted on his Truth Social account. It was not immediately clear whether he still plans to sign the housing bill or veto it. The White House did not...

Donald Trump's top Army general has abruptly resigned as Pete Hegseth pushes to demote his command and purge the Pentagon's senior ranks, sidelining top officers with little explanation. General Chris Donahue, 56, will step down as head of US Army operations in Europe and Africa, with his retirement expected to be announced as soon as Wednesday. Donhue is a decorated officer who commanded the Army's elite Delta Force and amassed two decades of combat experience. He has long been seen inside the Army as one of its top leaders and a potential future chief of staff. As commander of the...

People are allowed to poison themselves with junk food AND you have to pay for it! At least that's the latest from our federal courts. A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from allowing five states to ban the purchase of sugary drinks and candy with food stamps. The decision is a major setback for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" movement, known as MAHA, which is focused on minimizing the consumption of ultraprocessed foods to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Sorry, taxpayers must continue...

An Indiana University professor who presented the slogan "Make America Great Again" as a form of white supremacy that is "worse than police killing people of color" is no longer employed at the institution. In a graduate-level course, "Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice," instructor Jessica Adams showed a pyramid graphic listing statements and actions that she called overt forms of white supremacy, which included lynching and racial slurs. Alongside these acts was a list of what Adams calls covert white supremacy, which includes the Trump campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and failing to challenge racial jokes. Kalea Benner,...

A flu outbreak at the Air Force's basic training hub in San Antonio is worsening, according to two sources familiar with the situation. As of Tuesday, at least 222 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio, had been diagnosed with the flu and four had been hospitalized, the two people familiar with the matter told ABC News. This marks a sharp increase from the 159 cases and two hospitalizations reported last week. The death of one recruit remains under investigation, though it is not yet clear whether it is tied to the outbreak, the sources...

Federal authorities on Tuesday charged 10 Southern California defendants in a series of healthcare fraud schemes, including one case involving nearly $270 million in fraudulent Medi-Cal claims and another that allegedly defrauded Medicare out of approximately $27 million. The charges were part of the Justice Department's broader "2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown," which resulted in charges against 455 defendants nationwide in schemes involving more than $6.5 billion in alleged fraud. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche described the operation as "the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating healthcare fraud in history."

Elect this man to lead something. LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida. Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama. He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation. pic.twitter.com/kXSlzaLCLI— The Facts Dude 🤙🏽 (@Thefactsdude) June 22, 2026That's Pensacola resident Jacob Rockwell. He was out of town in March and someone else was borrowing his vehicle. Rockwell doesn't dispute that this other individual ran the red light. His problem is the seemingly-insane bureaucratic process to try and prove that he wasn't the...

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) didn’t mince any words Tuesday in calling out what he characterized as the “bulls—” arguments of fellow Republican Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) on social media, revealing the tensions within the Senate Republican Conference over how to push forward on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act. Tillis said Lee’s push for Republicans to force Democrats to actively hold the floor in continuous debate to block the bill — in other words, to force Democrats to employ a talking filibuster — is “goofy.” “I think it’s silly. All of it’s just goofy stuff,” he said. “It’s...

The U.S. Army's commanding general of forces in Europe and Africa is stepping down after roughly a year and a half at the coveted post, Fox News has confirmed. Gen. Christopher Donahue — who also leads NATO's Allied Land Command — will relinquish his command on July 2, according to a statement from the Army. Donahue's deputy, Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, will take over his duties after July 2. Donahue submitted his retirement papers at the request of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has sought to shrink the number of generals and prioritize adding new GI's. He is the latest...

California’s political machine has left Republicans with a simple challenge: convince voters that change is worth crossing the aisle for. A very successful businessman—and a major contributor to Democratic Party candidates and causes—once explained to me why he talked, acted, and thought like a Republican but never considered supporting any Republican candidate, ever. “We’ve already got the Republicans,” he told me. This is the transactional essence behind corporate support for Democrats in California, the one-party state. Republicans have no political power, and whenever the Democrats in the state legislature are surprisingly split on a matter of concern to business interests,...

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Monday evening that she's ditching the Republican Party, following conservative commentator Tucker Carlson out the door. Why it matters: The former Trump loyalist is part of a growing group of conservatives who believe the president's foreign policy has gone astray. What they're saying: "Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party," Taylor Greene wrote in a post on X Monday. "There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we...

New York City's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani did it again. One year after sending political shock waves across the country with his New York City Democratic primary victory on his way to winning election as mayor of the nation's most populous city, Mamdani tested the limits of his political powers. And he easily passed the test, upending the Democratic Party establishment as a trio of Mamdani-endorsed far-left congressional candidates won their primaries over more moderate incumbents and rivals.

A 3-month randomized clinical trial (RCT) assessed the effectiveness of four dietary interventions compared to a calorie-restricted Mediterranean diet in promoting weight loss in adults with obesity. The study enrolled 160 adults aged 18–65 with a BMI of 30–45 kg/m², excluding individuals with diabetes or other major comorbidities. Participants were randomly assigned to one of five diet groups, each designed to create a daily energy deficit of 600 kcal:Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) – control group following a traditional meal plan and schedule.Ketogenic diet (KD) – very low in carbohydrates and high in fat, without time restrictions.Early time-restricted eating (eTRE) – meals...

President Trump cheered late Tuesday, after Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) lost his House primary to former New York City comptroller Brad Lander (D). “Weak and pathetic Congressman Dan Goldman just lost, BIG!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I guess people didn’t like him illegally targeting President TRUMP.” He added, “In any event, this jerk is finally GONE!” Goldman, a former federal prosecutor, was the lead majority counsel in House Democrats’ first impeachment inquiry against the president in 2019. Lander, with support from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), attacked the incumbent from the left....
