    Thune spoke directly with Paxton following Tuesday's runoff victory, marking the first reported contact between the two men since the bitter primary contest ended. A person familiar with the conversation described the call as PRODUCTIVE. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, told reporters she was "supremely disappointed" by Trump's endorsement of Paxton over Cornyn.

    Many people are turning to artificial intelligence for help with their diet. Experts weigh the potential pros and cons.When Julie Bernstein’s doctor recently recommended that she start eating chicken and steak to get more protein, she felt a bit irritated. Ms. Bernstein, 76, had been vegan for decades, and she was not about to start eating meat again, she said. Her physician, lacking ideas on how to guide her toward vegan protein sources, suggested she turn to ChatGPT. A few weeks later, Ms. Bernstein typed her goals into ChatGPT on her iPad and marveled at how quickly it churned out...
  • CNN Cherry-Picks Two Texas Republicans Who Say They Won’t Vote for Paxton

    CNN This Morning began its coverage today of Ken Paxton’s decisive victory over John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff by airing Manu Raju's interviews on an Austin street with exactly two Texas Republicans who swore they won’t vote for Paxton. One even declared she will “absolutely” vote for Democrat James Talarico in November. This is what passes for journalism at CNN these days. Hand-picked, cherry-picked, man-on-the-street interviews that conveniently fit the narrative the liberal network wants to push: that Paxton’s win is somehow fracturing the GOP and handing the seat to Democrats. Could anything be less scientific...
  • Gingrich: Clinton Impeachment Over Lewinsky Scandal 'Was a Mistake'

    05/27/2026 7:43:38 AM PDT · by DIRTYSECRET · 62 replies
    Gingrich said the impeachment of Bill Clinton argued that the proceedings became overly focused on sex instead of perjury and obstruction of justice. Gingrich said the effort was undermined because it became publicly associated with Monica Lewinsky rather than the broader legal issues surrounding sworn testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. Ken Starr's investigation later expanded to include allegations surrounding Clinton's relationship with Lewinsky and testimony tied to the Paula Jones lawsuit. The findings led House Republicans to impeach Clinton making him the second president in U.S. history to be impeached. "Is he allowed to commit felonies?'" Gingrich...

    A thong-wearing, 79-year-old Florida man was arrested for allegedly “consistently” exposing himself and making lewd gestures around his apartment complex — and argued to police that it was his “right to walk around naked.” Tyrone James Causey was charged with five counts of indecent exposure at his Hollywood, Fla., apartment on May 22 after neighbors called police, saying they were “increasingly concerned and frustrated with his continued behavior,” Local 10 News reported. Causey wasted no time showing police what neighbors were talking about — answering the door wearing nothing but a “G-string thong” and claiming he had “a right to...

    Texas redistricting claimed a longtime Democratic incumbent Tuesday, as Rep. Christian Menefee defeated Rep. Al Green in a Houston-area runoff that forced two sitting House Democrats into the same race. Rep. Al Green, one of Congress’ most vocal Trump antagonists, lost his Democratic runoff Tuesday to fellow Texas Rep. Christian Menefee after redistricting scrambled Houston-area congressional lines. Green has been among President Donald Trump's fiercest critics in Congress, pursuing impeachment charges on multiple occasions against him during both of Trump's terms. Green has been kicked out of Trump's State of the Union addresses multiple times as well for standing up...

    Remember when everyone thought Ferrari was cool? Not anymore. Yes, even the manufacturer who once furnished Magnum P.I. with his sweet red convertible has gone electric. Here's a video announcement of the car if you want to see the fine details: Needless to say, the internet was not universally excited by the electric Ferrari reveal. Who wouldn't want to shell out (checks notes) $640,000 for an electric sports car? Don't worry, though. This model is sure to die a quick death and be relegated to the dustbin of automotive history. On a positive note, this toy-looking electric Ferrari is almost...
  • As America turns 250, Trump should restore Washington, DC's original borders

    In 1847, D.C. pressed for the abolition of slavery, Alexandria, was officially separated after President James K. Polk issued a PROCLAMATION and the Virginia LEGISLATURE accepted. Virginians were afraid that "slaves" would walk across the boundary into the District and become free. With the Potomac River parting Virginia from the District, slaves would be unable to gain their freedom. As a result slavery EXPANDED in Virginia even after DC abolished it. President Trump should consider issuing an executive order directing the DOJ to EXPLORE the CONSTITUTIONALITY of the 1847 retrocession.

    Three ruffians were busted on hate crime charges Monday for allegedly ransacking Midtown’s Church of Scientology earlier this month – after the NYPD released crazy footage of the photo-obsessed mob. Jaelen Dinkens, 19, and Mohammed Amolegbe, 21, were charged with burglary, criminal mischief and assault – all as hate crimes – more than three weeks after the unruly crew of 31 people barreled through a locked side door of the West 46th Street premises while worshipers and visitors were attending a May 2 seminar, according to law enforcement sources. Tashaun Simms, 28, was charged with obstructing governmental administration and tampering...

    Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old owner of the ‘Trump house’ in Southern California, has died after being brutally beaten by a Navy veteran.

Butler was previously charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats and battery. His charges will be upgraded after Sheron died from his injuries. Deputy District...
