  • "Like an atheist adapting the Bible": This is the only review of "The Odyssey" that you need to watch

    This is nowhere near the worst film ever made, and it's nowhere near a 10/10 masterpiece. If you enjoy it, you go right ahead. I look forward to never seeing it again, and ultimately, if I had to describe Christopher Nolan's 'Odyssey' in one sentence: It plays out like an atheist adapting the Bible. This is why the commies must destroy every statue, defame our Founding Fathers, and replace the founding date of America (remember the "1619 Project"?). It's also why they must sully the religious framework (Christianity) that serves as the foundation for our civilization. But even then, there...

    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...
  • Big Abortion: Planned Parenthood and Abortion Companies Make Billions Killing Babies

    life News ^ | July 20, 2026 | Raimundo Rojas
    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...

    Daily Mail ^ | July 20 | Nigel Farage
    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...

Kerry, who is a political leftist, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, the Crown Prosecution Service announced Monday.

Police believe the attack occurred around 12:30 p.m. the...

    The Midwesterner ^ | 7/20/2026 | Victor Skinner
    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...
  • NFL Owners Expected To Finalize Roger Goodell Extension

    Goodell has drawn criticism on a number of fronts, with inconsistent discipline decisions and a reversal of the NFL’s stance on gambling once it was legalized among the topics which have led to scandals. Nevertheless, ownership has remained willing to extend his tenure on several occasions with minimal opposition emerging. No stumbling blocks to another deal are believed to exist.

    A self-described transgender Florida student freaking out on a campus police officer for “misgendering” him. The footage shows a blue-haired University of Central Florida student, identified as 27-year-old Jarrett Vick, screaming at a police officer after the cop arrived on campus for an unrelated call. “Why do you let those pigs get away with this? They are not supposed to be here,” says Vick at the start of the video, which was filmed in February 2025 — but released Friday by Inside The Blue TV. The officer tells him to lower his voice, or he will be put in handcuffs,...

  • Fired NYC Council unpaid intern who demanded $32-an-hour ‘livable wage’ is just another silver-spoon socialist

    NY Post ^ | 7/5/2026 | Rich Calder
    A 21-year-old socialist and unpaid former NYC Council intern who claimed she was axed after demanding she and her peers get paid $32 an hour with full health benefits — and plans to sue the Council — was born into wealth. Mina Farahmand — who worked voluntarily last year to help get fellow silver-spoon socialist Zohran Mamdani elected mayor – is the daughter of a prominent surgeon and grew up in a palatial six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home on 30 acres in Colville, Wash. Her father, Mehrdad Farahmand, is a general-surgery specialist at Providence, the largest health care provider in Washington State....

    The Hill ^ | 7/17/2026 | Finya Swai
    Former first lady Jill Biden accused the media of applying a “double standard” in its coverage of her husband, former President Biden, when compared with President Trump. While promoting her memoir last month, the former first lady was asked during a Q&A session about media coverage during her husband’s presidency. She said the former president would have been “excoriated” had he been responsible for much of what is happening under the current administration. “You know, if Joe would have done any one of the things that are occurring now, I mean he would have been excoriated,” she told “The View”...

He calls it welfare. In the Senate, I will fight to protect your benefits from career politicians like Rick Scott and Ralph Norman.
