VIDEOHours after our rather hectic arrival in Portugal we finally got settled down in the Moov Hotel in the Oeiras district of the greater Lisbon area. I asked the person at the hotel desk if there were any restaurants within walking distance and he told us there was a pizza place and a restaurant called Casa Da Silva. Naturally we chose the latter in order to experience Portuguese food. Annnnnd WOW!!!It knocked my socks off including the fantastic house wine. Casa Da Silva would be a big hit in any city in the USA and yet Portugal, as we found...

Who Did It Better: NBA Players or Anti-Ice Rioters?

As President Donald Trump’s military parade rolled through the nation’s capital on Saturday, millions of Americans across the country took part in the largest coordinated protests against the president since the start of his second administration. While Trump’s parade aimed to show America’s military prowess in its new era — remade under the administration’s anti-diversity, equity and inclusion policies — over 2,000 protests planned for major cities and small towns nationwide were expected to outdo the president’s parade in scale. “These are not normal times in America. This is not a normal presidency,” Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.) told thousands of...

Israel may have struck Iran before it could build a fissile nuclear weapon, but the Islamic Republic can still cause tremendous destruction short of a nuclear explosion. If Khamenei wants to make good on his threats, his next step will likely be to hit Israel with dirty bombs to spread radiation over large sections of its urban areas.

The Comintern discarded that name around 1943 but never backed off its aggressive agenda targeting all aspects of American culture, particularly education. As a result, K–12 is a crime wave and a dead zone. Intentionally. American public schools pretend to teach children to read, but somehow they can’t manage. It’s the same story everywhere you look. There is never enough money. The kids don’t try. Parents won’t help. Education professors — I think this is obvious — tend to be ideologues dedicated to allowing as little education as possible. I’m disappointed in the upscale people, as I call them. That’s...

The Arab condemnation for attack in Iran is an automatic response that hides the truth: the Gulf and Jordan states want to see the Iranian nuclear project is destroyed, but cannot admit it publicly for fear of their image in the Arab world and the local street • Israel should not worry about it - if you complete the task • and: Iran's weakness can lead to a change. Prof. Eli Podeh | N12 | Posted 14.06.25 | Russian researcher, Ivan Pavlov, wrote about the tendency of people and animals to respond automatically to external stimuli. This phenomenon, which has...

If you want to see the best football code in the world, you have to visit Australia in April-September. Port Melbourne footballer Maddy “Maddawg” Patterson was a tree planter but now she’s a sparky. (Electrician.) Her focus and concentration on the game and on her team is cool, calm, poised and beautiful. And what is it on the field that drives Maddawg’s commitment to her club and her nation’s native game? It’s wonderful goals like this sublimely skilled evasion of opponents by teammate Kaitlyn O’Keefe.

It was my last night in London before returning to Australia. I was in full makeup and a dress when my female friends took me out dancing at an alternative hub that has always prided itself on being an accepting place. We danced and drank and shouted incoherent enthusiasms to each other. But as the gin and tonics settled in my bladder, I felt my anxiety building. In 15 years of visiting Britain I have been presenting feminine in public without any problem, including using women’s bathrooms. But now I needed to piss, and I was afraid. ...And there she...

As a veteran who frequently rails against what I call “useless, endless wars,” I feel a duty to explain my seemingly contradictory position of supporting Israel’s recent kinetic actions in Iran. First, by “useless, endless wars,” I am specifically referring to the expenditure of American blood and/or treasure in a war that ultimately does not serve the national security interests of the USA. Examples: -Squandering American lives in a futile and unwinnable effort to transform a medieval society of deranged, violent goat herders and opium growers (who also practice actual slavery and bacha bāzī (Google it), and who have an...

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and “Real Time” host Bill Maher agreed on Friday that the optics of Democrats defending the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles will be “good for Trump” as scenes of chaos from the riots continue to go viral on social media. Maher noted that some on the left condemned Fetterman after he denounced the violence happening in the streets of Los Angeles and agreed that “it doesn’t do the Democratic Party any good to defend” the violent protests. Fetterman issued a strong message on X Monday evening denouncing the riots in L.A. and included a now-infamous photo...

By sticking to our money management routine we dug ourselves out of an almost $60 hole and ended with with just over $500 net for the day.In this video you can see how we stick fairly stringently to our money management by frequently cashing out our vouchers

For many decades, Israel was considered the master of deception. Its ability to pull off strikes in unthinkable ways has made Mossad a stuff of legends. Think of Adolf Eichmann’s abduction from Argentina in 1960, or ‘Operation Munich’ to punish the perpetrators of the Munich massacre during the 1972 Olympics. In recent times, Israel’s ‘Operation Pager’ struck the world with its ingenuity and out-of-the-box thinking. Israel penetrated Hezbollah’s supply lines to weaponize pagers used by its cadre for communication. ‘In one stroke of the sword, the battle was won.’ Israel decapitated Hezbollah’s top leadership and cadre, breaking its chain of...

U.S. — Thousands of free Americans gathered in cities across the country today to lament their lack of freedom by holding rallies while shouting "Trump is a king!" and exercising their right to freely protest in a free country. The downtrodden, oppressed, upper-middle-class populace in urban centers throughout the United States boldly made their voices heard to decry President Donald Trump as acting like an all-powerful monarch as they openly protested and displayed their liberties in the freest society on Earth. "Trump is a tyrant! He has taken away our freedoms!" cried Mable Mcclean, a 68-year-old bisexual Episcopalian priest and...
