    NY Post ^ | 7-22-26 | Jasmine Baehr,
    Not all mimes stay silent. One is now accused of terrorizing women. A Massachusetts man known for roaming in a black-and-white mime costume is accused of frightening women for months at a popular state park, where prosecutors say he allegedly stripped to his underwear, slathered himself in cooking oil and worked out near female employees before later collapsing in court as the allegations were read aloud. Hernan Villagran Lux, 29, of Framingham, is facing criminal harassment charges after three female state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) employees had up to over 50 encounters over the past two months at...
  • Soccer, America, ‘Country Roads,’ and the World

    The country roads of America brought the world across our land, as our role hosting the World Cup fittingly coincided with America 250. The sprawling event on a grand stage reminded the world—and us—about important realities of our nation at its quarter-millennial birthday. Now, like most Americans, I hugely prefer our football—which starts soon. We are just culturally biased toward a game that is far higher scoring, much more violent, and far more of a spectacle. We opt for the sports version of opera, with heightened, dangerous drama, rather than the grind and nuance of soccer. ---SNIP--- But the World...

    In a shocking turn of events, the mutant raccoon and viral social media star known as "Jimothy" was eaten this afternoon by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Sources revealed that Kennedy, a longtime wildlife aficionado, methodically hunted down the famous raccoon over the past two days. Victorious over the beast, Kennedy skinned the raccoon, seasoned it with a special blend of spices, and grilled Jimothy to a perfect medium-rare. "Took me many hours of tracking, but I caught the little guy. Got him with my bare hands," said Kennedy. "He was a crafty one, Jimothy....

    This video, presented by Black Conservative Perspective, discusses recent reports regarding the registration of non-citizens in U.S. voter rolls, specifically highlighting a situation in New Jersey. Key takeaways include: New Jersey Voter Registration Issue: Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that approximately 6,600 non-citizens were improperly registered to vote due to a software error in the state's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) system between 2023 and 2024 (1:51-2:16, 6:48-7:03). The state reports that fewer than 400 of these individuals cast ballots in elections (7:54-8:02).

Disturbing details of her brutal murder emerged today as her alleged killer Joshua Kerry appeared in court for the first time.

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia is preparing to host its annual Pride Day event on July 26, promoting it as a “family-friendly” celebration that includes performances by drag queens billed as “LGBTQ+ stars.” The theme park has already disabled comments on its social media posts promoting the event following significant online backlash. According to the park’s official event page, Pride Day will feature “sensational family-friendly entertainment by LGBTQ+ stars” in the Abbey Stone Theatre, along with a DJ dance party, specialty merchandise, a vendor fair, and other activities. All performances are included with regular park admission. Scheduled shows are set...

    Recently, I used the term “Big Abortion” in an article and again during a public discussion. People laughed. Commentators scoffed. Social media critics treated the phrase as proof that pro-lifers had abandoned reason. “Big Abortion?” they sneered. How ridiculous. How dramatic. How conspiratorial. They found the term amusing because they had never bothered to consider the industry behind it. Their confidence rests on ignorance. They have never examined the money, the organizations, the training programs, the pharmaceutical companies, the donor networks, or the international agencies. Yet they felt entitled to ridicule those of us who have. In their absurdity, they...

    What we witnessed yesterday on the Downing Street step was deeply troubling to those who care about our democracy. In the space of just a few short weeks, Andy Burnham has effectively crowbarred his way into No10 without anyone even trying to block his path. He has arrived there unelected, unopposed and with no mandate from the public whatsoever but for a by-election victory in Makerfield. Meanwhile, the rest of the country has been left scratching its head in bewilderment as it faces yet another handover of power to someone it never asked for, nor, frankly, knows very much about...

    An illegal alien killer highlighted by President Donald Trump’s campaign in 2024 wants $75.5 million and “naturalization to this beautiful country,” as well as an apology from the 47th POTUS. “I was put into a category. Who I was as a person no longer mattered! What only mattered was my race, my case, and immigration status. Once again it belittled me, shattered my dignity and what I was as a person,” Mexican national Brandon Ortiz-Vite wrote in a lawsuit filed last week in U.S. District Court. “The shame it brought to my family name is a reality I have to...
