    Men's Journal: Breaking News It seemed hard to believe at first. The National Weather Service was really issuing WINTER storm warnings for snow in late June? But it really happened. Three U.S. states were hit with the winter storm warnings, and Yellowstone National Park was seeing snow. That has a lot of people wondering why and what caused the unusual phenomenon. Even stranger, the summer snowfall alerts were coming as the eastern third of the U.S. faced what could be a record-breaking heat wave with the heat index even predicted to reach 115 degrees in some places. According to USA...

    The Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal law allows states to count non-military mail-in ballots received after Election Day. In a 5-4 ruling written by Trump-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the Court held that “federal election-day statutes” do not “preempt” Mississippi’s law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received up to five days later. Barrett was joined by the Court’s three liberals as well as Chief Justice John Roberts. “As we have said before, the federal election-day statutes ‘simply regulate the time of the election,'” Barrett wrote in the Court’s opinion. “By setting the day for...

    Bill Maher just put Vice President JD Vance on notice that his support in 2028 is up for grabs. The “Real Time” host made the admission during Friday’s episode on HBO, telling Vance his vote could swing rightward if Democrats keep drifting toward socialism, as seen on a video clip of the show. “Like, if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher told Vance. Vance, 41, welcomed the...

    Thirteen Democratic House members and candidates have signed onto a new centrist initiative called "Promise to America," explicitly declaring "We are capitalist, not socialist" and calling for secure borders, fiscal responsibility, and national pride. The announcement comes days after Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates won several primaries in New York, bringing to light the ongoing tensions inside the Democratic Party as it prepares for the 2026 midterms under President Donald Trump. What the Pledge Says The full text of the pledge outlines six core principles. Under "Growth, Competition, and Broad Prosperity," it states: "We are capitalist, not socialist." It calls...

    The moment came after Biden delivered one of his sharpest public critiques of President Donald Trump since leaving office. During his remarks, Biden defended his own administration's record while accusing the Trump administration of corruption. He also took aim at what he described as Trump's "vanity projects," including renovations to the White House, changes at the Kennedy Center and the ongoing saga with the reflecting pool on the National Mall. "Whoa, what a loser," Biden said. After pausing several times to cough throughout his remarks, Biden concluded with a call for Democrats to "fight back," saying the country could overcome...
  • George Soros and son Alex have funneled staggering $103M into midterms so far, on track to shatter spending record

    NY Post ^ | June 27, 2026 | Gabrielle Fahmy, Rich Calder and David Spector
    Billionaire Democratic kingmaker George Soros and his son Alex spent a staggering $102.8 million in the midterm election cycle — making the family chief architects of the party’s seismic shift toward the radical left. With the November elections still more than four months away, George Soros could shatter his own spending record of $128 million set during the last midterms four years ago, when he was the biggest single donor. “Money talks, and Soros money says the most insidious, unconstitutional, costly tax hikes in American history are on the table,” said Douglas Kellogg, state projects director for Americans for Tax...

    Investigators have found the remains of 117 dogs in various states of decomposition - many of which were found with gunshot wounds - on the grounds of a purported "no-kill" animal shelter in northern California. Authorities excavated open fields at Miranda's Rescue Animal Sanctuary for evidence of animals believed to be buried in mass graves, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said. About 600 dog collars were also located. Officials had been investigating potential fraud or animal cruelty after hundreds of animals were discovered missing from the facility. The sanctuary owner has asked the public to "consider all the facts before...
  • Bad cybersecurity by Secret Service agents put US officials at risk, inspector general says

    Bad cybersecurity practices from Secret Service agents have left their phones vulnerable to hacking and risked the lives of senior US officials they are charged with protecting, according to a new inspector general report. Foreign “adversaries” — a term that can encompass spies and terrorists — “could have intercepted and exploited Secret Service information, placing at risk our Nation’s leaders, other protectees, and employees,” said the report released Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general (IG). The findings revive longstanding concerns about security practices at the Secret Service two years after the near-assassination of President Donald Trump in...

    Former NFL star Chris Johnson shockingly revealed Monday that he was diagnosed with ALS last year when he was 39 years old. Johnson, the former Titans workhorse and one-time Jets running back, shared the news during an appearance on “Good Morning America.” “There’s no history of ALS in my family,” Johnson, now 40, shared in an interview with Michael Strahan. “My doctors believe my case is what’s called sporadic ALS, which is actually how the vast majority of ALS cases happen.” “That’s one of the reasons this disease can be so shocking,” he added. “It can happen to someone who...

    The remaining Old Guard Democrats should understand that the forces that they have paired with not only seek our destruction, but theirs too. Other than self-loathsome, what would you call Chuck Schumer who coddles Ilhan Omar and courts Zohran Mamdami while both call for the eradication of Israel? The contempt that the youth wing of the Democrat party and the whole of the DSA show for Israel is no longer hidden. It is out in the open—huge and hideous. Yet Schumer and others in his party think that they can ignore, or even co-opt the beast. Of all the Democrats,...

    American voters overwhelmingly support their country’s founding ideals – yet the majority also believe that the U.S. is failing to live up to them, according to new polling. The Center Square’s Voters’ Voice Poll revealed that 86% of registered U.S. voters support America’s founding principles, among which the poll listed “individual rights such as life, liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, equal treatment under the law, and government by the consent of the people.” Only 31% of all voters, however, believed those principles are being practiced well, painting a gloomy picture of voters’ moods...

    EXCLUSIVE: As part of an anti-fraud crackdown that spans the entirety of the federal government, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uncovered millions of alleged fraudsters on the Affordable Care Act rolls, according to a report obtained by Fox News Digital. A Biden-era spike in Obamacare enrollments led to a probe into the veracity of millions of claims, a Trump administration official confirmed. At the beginning of Biden's term, there were 10 million people enrolled in the government's healthcare program, but that number drastically skyrocketed to 22 million at its 2024 peak. Now, the Trump administration...

    According to the video, British Prime Minister Anthony Eden ordered the original British copy of the Protocol of Sèvres—a secret agreement made with France and Israel to justify military intervention in the Suez Canal—shredded because he was "terrified of its existence" and aware on some level that his actions were "indefensible."

    FIRST ON FOX: A federal grand jury is investigating alleged financial crimes by Neville Roy Singham, the China-based tech tycoon whose fortune has funded a sprawling network of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations across the U.S. over the last decade. According to sources familiar with the matter, the grand jury in Manhattan has issued subpoenas as part of a probe launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country's most powerful districts for federal prosecutions. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation as the Trump administration seeks to crack down...

    Austrian Commissioner: protection will not be granted to those whom the Ukrainian authorities did not allow to leave. The European Commission has proposed to revoke the temporary protection status in the European Union for incoming Ukrainian refugees who are fit for military service. This initiative was previously supported by the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, and Sweden. Experts note that under the current losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it is impossible to replenish personnel through mobilization, which is why Kyiv has asked the European Union to take such measures. The EU also finds this beneficial now, as European society is...

    Labour Party leader Keir Starmer got a bit tearful in his resignation remarks, quite a departure from the emotionless, bot-like face he normally presents to the world. But then, he was alluding to his family, people he apparently cares about. He's sad now, but in the days to come, he may realize that he has dodged a bullet – or perhaps a lynching – as the soul-sickening findings published by the Restore Britain Party's leader's Rupert Lowe 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report, released June 16, are bruited in international news. Starmer did not envision facing that particular music so soon....

    GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- For the second time in 2026, the city of Green Bay has accidently sent duplicate ballots to some voters across the city. The city of Green Bay announced early Sunday evening that residents across the city have started to receive their mail-in ballots for the August primary election. However, some of the residents who received one of the 5,084 total ballots also received an additional ballot. The city says its staff became aware of the issue on Saturday that some voters in wards 11a, 12a, 37a, 44-47 and part of ward 43 received a duplicate ballot....
