"Bass has a real race on her hands, if in fact Raman is the one who advances," he said. "And the Democratic establishment is backing Karen Bass. But versus Spencer Pratt, she was crushing him. She wanted to face Pratt. She wanted nothing to do with Raman. That's why these conspiracy theories simply make no sense, people."

Rosie O’Donnell will not go under the knife again. At Sunday’s Tony Awards 2026, the former talk show host was asked whether she plans to have any more cosmetic work done after fessing up to getting a facelift. “No, I don’t think so,” she told E! News on the red carpet. O’Donnell, 64, told the outlet that she decided to go public with her plastic surgery because she wanted to be genuine. Last month, O’Donnell shared before-and-after photos of her transformation, saying that she felt “shameful” about the surgery because of how much she spent on it.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Sunday slammed the exclusion of LGBT cops from walking in uniform with their guns at Manhattan’s Pride March — before participating with a group in Queens’ version. “Once again, they banned NYPD officers from marching in full uniform later this month,” Tisch said of the Manhattan organizers. “That decision is as hypocritical as it is a slap in the face to the New York City Police Department and to the spirit of pride.”

@ukhomeoffice 🚨 Tech companies like Apple and Google have three months. Activate safeguards on smartphones and tablets to detect and block nude images for children or we will bring forward legislation to force you to do so.

Cops, graduates and parents were seen scuffling after a California high school graduation ceremony – and the melee ended up with four arrests. The aftermath of Kerman High School’s ceremony descended into chaos Thursday over an argument that started between one senior and another boy in the parking lot, KFSN reported. The senior, who was on probation, was detained before the situation escalated. “It should have stopped there, but at some point, they had family members, emotions are high, decided to insert themselves into that situation,” Kerman Police Lieutenant Wil Barcoma said. A teenage girl hit one officer and tried...

@matthewlesh Starmer wants spyware to be installed on every single phone in the country — that’s unlikely to actually protect children but will raise significant risks for your privacy. RE: @Keir_Starmer This government will not stand by while children are put at risk online. Today I am calling on the tech companies to introduce device-level controls to prevent children from taking, sharing or viewing nude images. And if they don’t act, we will.

A federal lawsuit seeks to halt the upcoming UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary. The filing Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents contends the Trump administration’s authorization of the June 14 event was unlawful. The lawsuit says such approval violated National Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands, Congress did not consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space and no environmental review was conducted...

I'm hoping to retire within the next 7-10 years. Maybe even sooner if possible. I have zero interest in living in an assisted living community or anything like that. I'm hoping buy some land in a rural area, at least 10 acres or so. I want to build my own little cabin and basically just be left alone. I honestly don't know if I can truly be off-grid. I will have a vehicle so I'll probably go the nearest town every so often for food and supplies. I can get batteries and power them via solar or a with a...

Four years ago, our Nation and Empire stood alone against an overwhelming enemy, with our backs to the wall. Tested as never before in our history, in God’s providence we survived that test; the spirit of the people, resolute, dedicated, burned like a bright flame, lit surely from those unseen fires which nothing can quench.Now once more a supreme test has to be faced. This time, the challenge is not to fight to survive but to fight to win the final victory for the good cause. Once again what is demanded from us all is something more than courage and...

A few hours after Lionel Messi and the Argentine World Cup team checked into their training base in Kansas City, a series of thunderstorms pounded the area, knocking out power, felling trees and bringing flood and tornado warnings. Hardly ideal conditions for the world’s biggest soccer tournament. Yet that’s likely just the opening salvo of a disruptive weather system that could affect the 38-day competition, which kicks off next week with games in Mexico, Canada and the U.S. “It’s pretty safe to say climate change is going to have a mark on this World Cup,” said Kaitlyn Trudeau, a senior...

Just when you think you’ve seen the bottom of the internet, this happens on a NYC subway. A guy loses it completely, yelling and abusing a mannequin as riders jump up and run for their lives. What in the world is happening to America?

Thousands of people attended the 24th Jerusalem Pride Parade on Thursday, in honor of Pride Month. As part of the opening to the event, former prime minister Yair Lapid announced that in the first 100 days of the next government, they would pass a law ensuring that all couples in Israel would be equal. "Mother and father, father and father, mother and mother, all will have the same rights, all will be equal before the law," he said. "We stand here with the entire gay community today to say: The situation is not a given, reality is not a decree...

My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.Lead them straight and true; give strength...

This being the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, I thought I’d post a story of my experience with a D-Day veteran. Perhaps other Freepers have stories they’d like to share here as well.

It has been a difficult stretch for the NASCAR community, and now it is mourning another loss, as legendary driver and broadcaster Ned Jarrett has passed away. He was 93. Jarrett, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, died of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina. A celebrated driver and broadcaster, he was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998. He raced in the Cup Series from 1953 to 1966, first taking up racing while working on his family's farm and sawmill when Hickory Speedway opened. "I played a little basketball and baseball in high school (and)...
