    Olivia Rodrigo just sold out 86 arena shows in minutes, and she’s about to fill another one with the same trick she’s pulled before. Her brand new music festival, Daisy Chain Fields, comes wrapped in an all-women lineup and a name that sounds like it belongs on a greeting card, and it’s being sold to a fanbase that packed 1.4 million seats on her last tour alone as a celebration of women and girls. But look at where the money actually goes . . . to abortionists. Planned Parenthood is a named beneficiary of Daisy Chain Fields. So is the...

    Daily Readings from the USCCBFeast of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and MartyrJesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.” John 12:24–26Saint Lawrence, whom we honor today, has been highly...

  • Restore Britain’s talk of Gaza ‘genocide’ is as ridiculous as the Left’s. Genocide requires state intent. Instead, Israel deserves praise for the humanitarian care it has taken in its fight against terrorists

    The Telegraph ^ | Aug 9, 2026 | Stephen Pollard
    The accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is the gravest accusation that can be made against any nation – and also, as Howard Jacobson has pointed out, the most sadistic that can be made against Israel in particular, because it deliberately shifts the Jews from historical victims of genocide to being perpetrators. That is why those who use it are either ignorant or malign – or, as in the case of Charlie Downes, campaign director and co-founder of far-Right party Restore Britain, both. Downes has a long history of using anti-semitic tropes (not least in his latest suggestion...

    The Dukes Of Hazzard star Ben Jones passed away at the age of 84 on Sunday, August 9 after suffering a heart attack. The late actor's death was announced by his wife, Alma Viator, in an emotional Facebook post. 'I lost the love of my life today,' she wrote on Sunday. 'Ben passed from a massive heart attack.'

    Arab Islamic "palestine" terrorist Ahlam Tamimi, then 20 years old, disguised herself and Izz al-Din Shuheil al-Masri, the suicide bomber, as Jewish tourists. She chose the target for al-Masri and left the area before the bomb detonated and went to report on the bombing on a Palestinian news channel where she was a part-time journalist. Ahlam Tamimi who helped choose the target, scouting the location to decide when the crowd would be largest, the death count highest, and then dropped off the bomber. She later smiled as she recalled celebrating as the death toll rose from 3 to over a...

    Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism. It might not feel as badly needed as it does now. You enjoy your work; it’s interesting to you, and you’re well trained for it. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed, and you would control your own labor and see it going to good use. It’s not just a job to pay the bills. These are all familiar, everyday activities. A socialist day off could be like any good day now. But what if you were free to spend your time...

    President Trump on Sunday blasted former Olympian David Hearn, labeling him "ActBlue," and shared a screenshot from court filings that reveal the mountain of evidence, including witnesses and photo evidence, that the Department of Justice had when they dropped his case for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Justice Department dropped vandalism charges against Hearn. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who previously accused Hearn of “violently and forcefully” ripping up the sealant, claimed that “flawed installation by the contractor” was responsible for the damage. Trump slammed Pirro during an Oval Office press conference on...

    After envy, the most self-destructive emotion is the desire to be on TV, destroying the reputations of, among others, Michael Avenatti, Andrew Cuomo, Eric Swalwell and—since the release of his diary—Anthony Fauci. Except in Fauci’s case, his fame-mongering was less self-destructive than simply destructive, as demonstrated by David Zweig’s amazing book, “An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions” (MIT Press). As Zweig demonstrates, Fauci had to know the restrictive COVID measures he pushed would do enormous damage to the country—to little kids, dying patients, cancer victims, college students, restaurants, the travel industry, budding...

  • Michael Goodwin: Michigan Senate race displays the radical ‘shift’ the Democratic Party has taken

    New York Post ^ | Aug. 8, 2026 | Michael Goodwin
    In the run-up to Michigan’s hotly contested Democratic Senate primary last week, a slew of headlines declared the showdown a “fight for the party’s soul.” As cliches go, that wasn’t a bad one. Leaving aside the issue of whether a political party has a soul, the framing worked because the candidates represented starkly different positions, backgrounds and styles. The outcome would thus reflect the party’s emerging values and agenda in a key swing state. And so it did, but in a way that simultaneously makes Michigan look bad and illustrates how radicals are gaining the upper hand in the national...

    A controversial Michigan Senate nominee made a wild claim about President Trump’s marriage to first lady Melania Trump, calling their relationship “rocky” during a TV appearance Sunday. Abdul El-Sayed railed on CNN’s “State of the Union,” a day after the president posted a photo of the Trumps alongside a shot of the candidate and his wife, Sarah Jukaku. The side-by-side pics were posted under the caption “Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s (sic).” “Actually, Sarah and I like each other,” El-Sayed told host Jake Tapper. “I don’t know about the first lady and the president, but, from what I have heard, it’s...

    I've been thinking about putting together a small, informal Freeper committee to test the various AI systems—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, and others—and see how they actually differ.Rather than simply asking each AI, "Are you biased?" and getting the predictable answer, I'd like us to design about 10 carefully chosen questions that can reveal differences in reasoning, political framing, factual standards, and capabilities.The questions should be clever enough to make the results interesting.Things we could test: • Political framing — Does the answer change depending on how an issue is presented? • Symmetry — Does the AI apply the same...
