What has happened to masculinity? Saints, I’m looking at these clips and asking a serious question about men, femininity, and what our culture is calling normal. When did strength become toxic and leadership become controlling? I’m talking about men who protect, provide, take responsibility, and stand on something even when the whole room disagrees. On this episode of Saints in the City, we’re having a direct conversation about masculinity, Black men, and the example we’re putting in front of people. We start with Chris responding to a woman who criticized his nails and said he was making Black men look...

Analyzing the teeth of a 25,000-year-old skeleton from Sulawesi, Indonesia, researchers have deduced that this individual habitually sucked on betel nuts, and probably developed an addiction to this popular stimulant. Widely consumed across southeast Asia and the Pacific, betel nuts are the world's fourth most popular drug, behind alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. These days, the nuts are typically mixed with slaked lime and chewed as a "quid" in order to release the psychoactive compound arecoline, triggering mild euphoria and heightened alertness. Although the roots of this practice are poorly understood, it is generally assumed that betel chewing does not pre-date...

Video Transcript Summary This is a segment from ABC’s This Week in which Martha Raddatz questions Attorney General Todd Blanche about the Trump administration’s decision to restrict certain media outlets (notably CNN) from covering presidential travel, including a recent trip to Tennessee.

WASHINGTON — Iran’s beleaguered economy will soon have “nothing to trade” in about two weeks after it makes its final oil deliveries, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed. Bessent assessed that the Islamic Republic is becoming desperate to make a deal because of its collapsing economy, hastened by Operation Economic Outcast, and warned that its problems will get dramatically worse in two weeks. “I am confident, given that there’s only 15 million more barrels of Iranian oil on the water, that Iran will have nothing left to trade for anything,” Bessent told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Probably within the next...

Adding stay-at-home parents to the eligibility list for federal child care subsidies would not require additional funding. It would simply reshuffle who receives subsidies. If every state implemented the administration’s plan and prioritized the newly eligible parents, our simulation estimates that roughly 195,000 children’s subsidies would move from single-parent households that qualify through work to households that qualify because one member is not working. This scenario is politically and legally unlikely. But it illustrates how the proposal treats federal welfare as a tool for winning the culture war without regard for the broader economic damage caused by the policy change.

A dozen teens were shot after gunfire broke out at a chaotic birthday party gone awry inside a Georgia park Saturday night, according to local authorities and reports. The shots broke out around midnight at Carolyn Crayton Park in Macon, where a “large gathering” had congregated following a birthday party at a nearby Airbnb, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said. Two of the victims –- a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old boy — were left in critical condition, while the other 10 were listed in stable condition. The group, which included high schoolers, had been asked to leave that Airbnb...

Major League Baseball is eyeing its next massive showcase, trading concrete jungles and overpriced stadium beer for pine trees and the iconic peaks of Grand Teton National Park. Specialty neutral-site games have been massive hits for MLB, but when word leaked that the league was sniffing around federal land, Washington rushed to pump the brakes. In an official statement, the White House confirmed MLB approached President Donald Trump's administration to ask about hosting a game in a national park, "similar to the Field of Dreams game" in Iowa.

Unlike celebrity influencers with large followings, these creators produce a blizzard of videos for a fraction of the cost of traditional online campaigns and, in the process, shift public conversation. Judging from his TikTok feed, Drew was struggling to get by as a young man living near Dallas. Grocery bills were skyrocketing, he said, and he was looking for thrift stores to help keep costs down. In reality, according to his LinkedIn profile, Drew was a man from Utah named Alex Forrester, who said he was now in Florida. “All of it was paid for,” he said in a video...

Speaks of the deplatforming, debanking, canceling and banning of independent journalists and conservatives like him during Biden's reign, as well as POTUS 45. Explains that CNN, et al., are not prevented from doing their jobs and reporting, just no longer have access to the briefing room, whereas he and his colleagues, as well as POTUS 45 were actually being deprived of 1st Amendment rights, and the same lib "journalists" at the time were squealing with demonic glee.

Moderate Democrat Sen. John Fetterman had a small slip during a panel in Austin, Texas where he referred to himself as a “life-long Republican” when asked why he hasn’t abandoned the Democrat Party to position himself as an Independent. Fetterman’s leftist detractors couldn’t help but to pile on through social media posts after the small slip up. Fetterman’s additional comments indicated that he could contemplate a party switch after the midterm season has passed and Democrats secure control over the Senate by a single vote. Just 37 days remain until Election Day.

As their midterm picture darkens, and gas and diesel prices soar, some Republicans who backed the war for months are now changing their tune. As President Trump warned in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in recent days that he might “annihilate” Iran, a growing number of Republicans were scrambling to find distance from a costly war that has swelled into a midterm crisis for the party.The split screen showed how Mr. Trump and his party’s battleground candidates are increasingly at odds as the November elections approach. With no clear resolution in sight, the war has sent the...

Lord Khan has urged Andy Burnham to start work on rejoining the European Union immediately. The Labour Mayor of London urged the Prime Minister, who has refused to rule out rejoining the EU after the next general election, to do the "heavy lifting" as soon as possible. At Labour's annual party conference in Liverpool, Lord Khan told the i paper: "We've got to start the work now… You can't, a week before a general election, pull out of a hat this rabbit of a manifesto and say we're going to rejoin in six weeks' time. "The heavy lifting, the pitch...

Young voters are financially drowning — and the life raft the Democratic Socialists of America is throwing them is an anchor in disguise. If Americans don’t see past this facade, they’ll be sinking even faster. ========= Young voters are right that the system is failing them. They’re wrong, though, about which system it is. What they’ve experienced isn’t free-market capitalism at all — it’s a quasi-socialist economy that’s let government displace the market in precisely the spending categories that have become least affordable. Turning further toward socialism means embracing the anchor that’s already weighing them down. Just look at where...
