Disney finally admitted what we all knew...they drove men away. Now they want us back. Sorry Mouseketeers it's too late for that! From Star Wars to ESPN, they spent years mocking men, turning heroes into failures, and lecturing their own audience about “toxic masculinity.” The result? Empty theaters. Disney+ bleeding subscribers. ESPN reduced to a feminist pep rally. And now the company is begging for the very men they said were irrelevant. But here’s the truth: once men are gone, they’re gone. No amount of reboots, apologies, or desperate spin can bring them back. Disney chose to lose men —...

SSN(X) is the Navy’s planned successor to Virginia: a larger, stealthier, longer-legged attack submarine that teams with UUVs, carries more weapons, and is designed for higher availability. Costs will dwarf current boats, and industrial bottlenecks—from single-source suppliers to overloaded yards—are real. Budget trade-offs and shipyard realities have pushed the first procurement to around FY-2040, delaying entry to the fleet.

After years at the bedside of dying patients, a hospice doctor noticed a striking pattern – when the end comes, people don’t cling to fear. In its place come final words that are quiet, powerful, and often shockingly unexpected. While death is one of the most feared and least discussed parts of life, it is a moment of deep psychological transformation for many. Dr. Christopher Kerr, a palliative care physician with over two decades of experience at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo, has studied more than 1,500 end-of-life events. His findings challenge our traditional understanding of dying – not as...

He tried to warn them. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump unveiled a new ceasefire proposal before sending a message to Hamas: "The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well," he said. "I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter." Hamas apparently didn't pay attention to the matter. One of its senior terrorists, Bassem Naim, released a statement on Monday calling Trump's proposal a "humiliating surrender document" and saying Hamas's "right" to...

Qatar’s vocal condemnation of Israel’s operation reveals a deeper, more troubling reality: the Arab-Islamic regime has been a key enabler of the genocidal Hamas leadership. By consistently supporting Hamas, both through direct funding and media manipulation, Qatar has played a dangerous role in perpetuating the cycle of violence. Qatar’s state-backed media outlets, like 'Al Jazeera' and 'Middle East Eye', have been vocal in pushing narratives that fuel anti-Israel sentiment, much like the Turkish Islamist dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan uses 'Anadolu' and 'TRT' to spread Islamist propaganda. But it goes beyond mere media influence—Qatar has actively positioned itself as a “mediator”...

VIDEODon't call Keir Starmer a Muppet when visiting Britain. Why? Because he looks like a Muppet and is very upset if anybody calls him a Muppet. In fact, it is now illegal to call anybody a Muppet in Britain. We laughed and thought it was ridiculous when China arrested people for calling their President, Xi Jinping, Winnie the Pooh yet now calling someone in Britain a Muppet is an offense for which you can be arrested.

On August 22, 2025, a three-judge panel of the Gibson County Chancery Court in Tennessee struck down two Tennessee statutes as unconstitutional under both the Second Amendment and the Tennessee state Constitution. The two statutes were Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1307 and Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1311. Tenn.

n Nepal, citizens storm Communist Party headquarters and tear down hammer and sickle flag.

The black community’s disengagement from ordinary acts of civic responsibility is harming America as a whole, but mostly, it’s harming blacks. To save their communities, blacks need to reengage with what was once normative polite conduct across American society. To appreciate this point, consider the tales told by abandoned shopping carts and litter. Shopping carts were invented in Oklahoma in 1937 and changed the face of retailing. No longer were customers limited to what they could carry around the store, they could now leisurely stroll the store not having to worry about how much they could fit in their cloth...

So strong is the gravitational pull of “wokeness” that it has caused many college and university leaders to approve of appalling treatment of faculty members who dared to question the prevailing leftist orthodoxies. Fortunately, our legal system still protects the rights of professors against such mistreatment, and three high-profile cases recently ended in victory for the plaintiffs. Let’s start with the case brought by Professor Bruce Gilley of Portland State University. In June 2022, the (since-retired) communication manager of the University of Oregon’s Division of Equity and Inclusion, who goes by the name tova stabin—no capital letters—posted a tweet reading,...

2 Timothy 1:13-14 (King James Version) Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. Captain Jeff and our group have been trying to make this fishing trip happen for a couple of months but things just did not cooperate to make it come together. First the water was too warm so he said they have not gotten into the river and were hanging out at the mouth. Then he...

I have written several posts on California Federal District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong’s temporary restraining order more or less preventing ICE from operating in California’s Central District — the district covering the seven counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. The counties’ population of nearly 20 million people is the largest of any federal judicial district in the country. I wrote about Judge Frimpong’s crimping of ICE in posts that are accessible here. It’s crazy, baby. That’s my view. ... By a vote of 6-3, the Supreme Court order has stayed Judge...

The U.S. Navy faces a dangerous shortage of attack submarines, leaving it stretched too thin to meet global demands. While the fleet is already below its 66-boat goal, the reality is worse: about one-third of subs are non-deployable at any time due to massive maintenance backlogs and crew shortages.

Leading Report @LeadingReport BREAKING: Texas A&M student kicked out of class for objecting a lesson about transgenderism. Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison is now referring Texas A&M to the Trump administration for investigation and is calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to fire the officials involved. A&M President tells the student firing the professor is “not happening.”

Sky News host Rita Panahi has blasted CNN’s Brian Stelter for complaining about “racism” following the murder of Iryna Zarutska.

This is the first time the IDF is issuing an official evacuation order like this! It’s over for Gaza city and for the Gaza battalion of Hamas that is currently operating there. .. my 2cents - The world enemies of Jews have falsely accused Israel of being occupies of Gaza. — well they are about to SEE what occupation looks like

The arabists keep claiming that Arab "Palestine" massacres on Jews are a "response" to something - supposedly. Nevermind that racist Arab Palestine began massacring Jews [especially since] April 1920 [Nebi Musa riots], there were cries of "we will drink the blood of the Jews," and "Muhamme's religion was born with the sword." Actually, the genocidal call/aim of "adbakh al yahud," was invented in the 1920s by Haj Amin al Husseini, their leader, over a decade before he rushed to beg Nazis for alliance. Why target religious ultra Orthodox Talmudic Jews, conscientious objectors in their neighborhoods who even refuse to serve...

Every time you think CNN can’t drop any lower, somehow, they manage to do it. In the case of the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, CNN’s Brian Stelter seems to think that the real tragedy in this situation is racism, specifically, the racism of Trump supporters for noticing this crime. This is a new low for him, which is really saying something. Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

Conversation Breanna Morello @BreannaMorello Back in July, a Middle Eastern man followed me while I was walking my dog. He snuck up behind me and entered my apartment complex. After I repeatedly told him to leave, he became coming up the stairs and towards me. He only left after he allegedly saw a “black pistol.” Police questioned me about a potential firearm and I refused to answer without an attorney. He has not been criminally charged. Plano PD waited weeks to investigate even after I pleaded with them to ID him. Obtaining the surveillance footage was a fight. I had...
