Dr. Jill Biden opened up about a conversation that she had with her husband, Joe Biden, the night of his historic decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.(snip) The former first lady said that her husband’s choice to run for another term — then to later end his campaign — were both entirely his own, despite rumors that she played a role. Recalling a conversation that took place at their Delaware beach house, Jill said that Joe specifically asked for her opinion. “And I said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘You make this decision yourself.’ I said, ‘Whatever decision is...

After the feds raided Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)’s immigration documents in a reportedly years-long fraud investigation into the Somali Congresswoman’s background, even MS Now is admitting the feds likely have evidence. The investigation appears to be focusing on whether she and her father lied on immigration papers filled out when she was a teen, as the statute of limitations on her alleged marriage to her brother has already expired. A former immigration official previously told the New York Post that if Omar’s father lied on citizenship paperwork and she went along with the lie, it “would wipe her out from...

You might have recently seen a political advertisement about Maine’s Senate race. That’s because the advertisement mistakenly played in Portland, Oregon, instead of Portland, Maine. The advertisement, paid for by Republican PAC Defending Main Street, decries “Taxin’ Troy Jackson,” the Democratic candidate facing off against Susan Collins. Sarah Chamberlain, president of the Republican Main Street Partnership, said she was “very unhappy” about the mix-up. “I’m really upset,” she said. “I cannot believe that this happened.”

1:42pm PT -- RJ's reps tell TMZ ... "It is with profound sadness we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte." "RJ Mitte was best known for his role as Walter 'Flynn' White Jr. on AMC’s critically acclaimed, award-winning series Breaking Bad. Drawing from his own experience living with cerebral palsy, Mitte brought authenticity to the role and built a platform on disability awareness and inclusion," his reps continue, "Beyond entertaining friends and family around the world, he served as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s."

One of the latest narratives disseminated widely by abortion advocates is the claim that induced abortion (intentionally killing human beings in the womb) is central to the idea of reproductive and economic 'justice' for women. But killing humans should never be offered as a sort of 'solution' to financial hardship. Key Takeaways: * The Center for Reproductive Rights recently released a flawed, non-peer-reviewed study promoting the message that women need abortion because having children is too expensive. * Abortion advocate Jessica Valenti appeared on Vox Media's "America, Actually" podcast to discuss abortion, which she claims is an "affordability" issue. *...

Nidal Hasan is a savage Islamic terrorist who killed 13 innocent US service members at Fort Hood in 2009. He deserves the death penalty, nothing less. But the idea of broadcasting his execution publicly — livestreaming it — is beyond grotesque. America is supposed to be a model nation, with the highest values, a shining light that leads the world into a civilized future. The spectacle of a publicized, glamorized execution sends us in the opposite direction. It signals a type of gloating and bravado unbecoming a proud, moral country. America is not a medieval caliphate. Our leaders aren’t supposed...

In 2019, Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security simulated a potential nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia. In one series of escalatory exchanges, the United States expended between 930 and 1,080 nuclear warheads.1 These simulated figures represent 65–76 percent of U.S. strategic warheads deployed on missiles and bombers as of March 2023.2 With limited remaining warheads and a degraded NC3 network, could the United States effectively deter China in the aftermath?In a 2024 report to Congress, DoD updated its estimate of China’s stockpile of nuclear weapons to more than 600 operational warheads.4 If this trajectory continues,...

It was his only relief. A whizzing Minnesota college professor allegedly spilled his own urine on a student’s backpack in what authorities believe to be the latest in a disturbing series of the educator’s pee-soaked incidents, according to new court docs. The plot was uncovered after a Macalester College student said biology professor Paul Fischer, 55, had heeded nature’s call on Dec. 5, 2025, after she briefly stepped away while working at the school’s science center – only to return to find her backpack moist with a pungent yellow liquid, CBS Minnesota reported. When local cops in Saint Paul investigated...

Submarine production falters when a fragile industrial base cannot deliver the specialized castings, forgings, ceramics, magnetics, steels, and acoustic coatings that nuclear safety and acoustic stealth demand. Unfortunately, the United States relies on a dangerously thin bench of suppliers. The Naval Foundry and Propeller Center (NFPC) remains the Navy’s organic foundry and design reference for submarine propellers.6 But the NFPC alone cannot carry the load, nor was it designed to. Each propulsor involves long-lead steps—patterns, molds, pours, and machining—that stretch timelines even in the best cases. When quality issues arise, such as pour defects, heat-treatment variability, or radiographic anomalies, delays...

The United States will soon carry out the largest reduction in sea-based strategic launch capacity in its history—at precisely the moment the threat demands more. The November 2024 unclassified nuclear employment strategy report—submitted under 10 U.S.C. §491 and known as the 491 Report—now directs the joint force to “deter Russia, the PRC, and [North Korea] simultaneously in peacetime, crisis, and conflict.The Navy built 14 Ohio-class SSBNs with 24 missile tubes apiece—336 tubes of design capacity, of which 20 per boat remain operational after New START conversion. Twelve Columbias will carry 16 tubes apiece, netting 192 tubes.20 The transition surrenders 43...

I think this is what libs call "California Dreamin'" Nothing says "Oakland" more than a shirtless man with a ciggy between his lips driving a bus around the city, flashing a peace sign at the people videoing him. A shirtless guy with a cigarette and a wrecked city bus made for one seriously bizarre sight on Oakland's streets — and the footage has many doing a double take. The mystery man was filmed driving a retired San Francisco Muni coach through West Oakland, piloting a vehicle that appeared to have seen much better days. The front windshield was missing, the...

WUSF Public Media reported that the state pays contractors up to $18 an hour... Florida does not permit hunters to use firearms to kill the snakes, so capturing them requires close contact... They could also earn $50 for a python measuring up to four feet, followed by another $25 for each additional foot With a $10,000 grand prize for the person who humanely killed the highest number. Aycock recalled capturing one measuring 17 feet... He and his wife had to manoeuvre around the animal before he could secure its head and prevent it from lunging at them.

Don’t livestream jihadi-fascist Hasan. We shouldn't turn justfiable punishmebt into something like a spectacle. We are not Iran, Palestinian Gaza regime, ISIS or narco thugs. We stand for freedom, and human dignity—not the ideologies that crush them. We must be principled enough to reject extremism without becoming extremists ourselves. **Don’t amplify what undermines the values we truly defend.** And we are peope of faith.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who serves as the Senate Pro Tempore, has filed for reelection at the age of 93. Should he win reelection in 2028, Grassley would be 101 by the end of his next term.

It doesn’t happen. That’s what we’ve been told for years. Illegal voting in America is a myth, a fairy tale, a bedtime story conservatives tell themselves after losing. Anyone who asked about it got a pat on the head and a diagnosis. Then the Department of Justice went looking.

it seems like a great example of how JD Vance tries to be everything to everyone. He enthusiastically supports executing Nidal Hasan for committing the worst crime ever, but he is going to keep himself away from the actual execution.
