Firefighters extinguished the flames while the activist was standing atop the Black Lives Matter street mural in front of city hall. The person was badly burned and airlifted to a nearby trauma unit, according to police and fire scanners.

    Steve Bannon unloaded on Elon Musk, calling him a “truly evil guy” who must be run out of the MAGA movement. Musk spent more than a quarter of a million dollars to help return President-elect Donald Trump to the White House. The billionaire Tesla CEO and owner of X has been a fixture at Mar-a-Lago ever since, with some reports indicating Musk’s near-constant presence is wearing on Trump. “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon, a former Trump White House adviser, told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview published on Wednesday....

    The theory: a cargo ship with a "dirty bomb" was just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. The notion came to life during a live YouTube broadcast Wednesday evening. During the broadcast, conspiracy theorist George Webb initially claimed a "source" had told him that there was "a dirty bomb planned for a major city." Based on the information from the "source," Webb said he believed Memphis might be the target. The Coast Guard said in a further statement provided to CNN that the source of the threat had been detained by authorities for further questioning. The statement did not mention Webb's...

    here’s this woman on TikTok called Doormat Mom, and she’s stirring the pot with some pretty controversial stuff about her estranged kids. Now, she’s asking if it’s okay to leave them out of her will. “Should I include, axe, or modify? What’s the deal with ungrateful adult children and inheritances?” “What’s the kids’ side of the story?” More than 1200 people answered her. Some viewers are like, “Heck yes, cut them out!” while others are saying, “What about the kids’ side of the story?” A few are even suggesting leaving money to the grandkids, but only if the parents don’t...

    Rev. Al Sharpton plans to hold a rally in protest of President-elect Trump on inauguration day. Sharpton announced the rally on his MSNBC show, “Politics Nation with Al Sharpton,” on Tuesday. The rally and Trump’s inauguration coincide with Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “While Trump supporters will be on one side of Washington watching him take the oath of office, I will be at the nation’s capital working to keep the dream alive,” Sharpton said. “There has never been a more important time to peacefully organize and mobilize.” Sharpton emphasized that the rally will be nonviolent, “unlike the 2021 insurrection.”...

    A weeping New Jersey mom donned a scarlet robe and oversized white hood straight from the dystopian Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale’’ to vote Tuesday morning. “What this outfit means to me is my way of fighting back,’’ said 50-year-old optician Veronica McGrogan after casting her ballot at her polling place, Bloomfield Middle School, in Bloomfield in Essex County. The eerie costume from the acclaimed series has become a protest symbol for women’s rights, particularly involving abortion — and McGrogan said she fears those rights are threatened by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. “I have a blended family. I have...

    Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. The former Republican governor of California shared his shock endorsement on X Wednesday. 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,' the actor wrote. Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward,' and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.' 'We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that...

    A protester who works in the media lit himself on fire outside of the White House during an anti-Israel protest on Saturday evening, disturbing video shows.

Mena holds his left arm — engulfed in flames — high in the air to show others as several people quickly douse him with water and beat out the flames with pieces of...

    Police say a man claimed to have a bomb outside a rally for former President Donald Trump in metro Grand Rapids and that he insisted it was the “real deal” — though it was not. As he appeared in a Grandville courtroom via video linkup from a jail cell Monday afternoon, Steven William Nauta, 65, of Sand Lake, acknowledged he could hear the judge and that he understood the charges against him and his rights. He held his head down for the majority of his arraignment. At one point, he made profane hand gestures, but apologized when the judge warned...

    The actress Kathy Griffin has claimed that Donald Trump is preparing to crack down against comedians and pick them off “one by one” if he wins in November. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Griffin insisted that Trump had prepared a “list” and would target her and many others as a result. She did not specify exactly how Trump intends to punish them. “He’s going to pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins, and I’m not kidding, and I’m not being paranoid,” the 63-year-old said.

    Singer Chappell Roan is calling out what she describes as “predatory” behavior from fans, asking them to respect her boundaries in public after delivering a similar message in videos last week. The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer opened up in an Instagram post on Friday. “I've been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions,” wrote Roan, whose debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” rose to meteoric popularity this year. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose...

    VIDEOI enjoy watching Mark Halperin's channel, 2Way, which features both his analysis of current events as well as the people on ZOOM of various political persuasions weighing in on the state of the political world. However, Halperin blew off a great chance to get to the bottom of something he was talking about namely who was the source of the leak of the Doug Emhoff scandal story in which he knocked up his children's nanny. Who better to answer such a question than the person who broke the story as Halperin himself acknowledged. However, when Laura Loomer, unmuted herself on...

    Alyssa Milano is crying again — this time, the left-wing activist/actress is crying tears of joy over a largely unaccomplished woman of color who has a habit of falling ass-backward into success. That person would be Vice President Kamala Harris, of course, who was tapped to serve in her current role precisely because of her gender and the color of her skin. And now that President Joe Biden, the man who put her there, has fallen victim to a rumored Obama-Pelosi hatchet job and is standing down in the election, Harris finds herself in the right place at the right...

    Cernovich @Cernovich Israel pays for abortions. Gaza banned them. Not one conservative of prominence truly believes, “Abortion is murder.” That’s all big mouth talk. Otherwise they’d confront this head on. It would present a major moral dilemma.
