  • Went and saw Supergirl. It’s fine. Pluggedin conservative review site got it right too

    07/02/2026 11:22:09 AM PDT · by Billie Bud · 11 replies
    Went and saw Supergirl with my comic loving teenager. Don’t know why other than the actresses comments in an interview this movie is being dissed around here. Nothing political. Comic loving son said character was pretty accurate. Go see it. Even pluggedin online said it was fine. We should support the efforts toward normality. Last year’s Superman was really good and sort of old school hero. Same with this movie. Nothing woke that I could find in it.

    I just had four F-22s fly over our house in the Silicon Valley area by Mountain View. Very low, probably Here are a couple of stills from the NBC News Bay Area video footage. Turns out figuring out exactly who they were is tougher than it looks. No PA release names a unit, and the F-22 Demo Teams are nowhere near the West Coast right now. They are in D.C. this week and don't hit California again until Fleet Week in October. So this wasn't a demo team stop; it was almost certainly a one-off tasking for the flyover itself....

    As the World Cup goes from strength to strength, millions of visitors from around the world are falling deeper in love with the United States. They came to our great hotels falling asleep with dreams of soccer victories in their heads, but they woke up to something even better than a dream—they woke up to the American Experience, one like no other in the world. One such visitor is Freddy, a great German soccer fan. But to his millions of fans, he is most well known as an exuberant fan of the United States of America. On the highways and...

    Paramedics conducted CPR on an individual experiencing a “cardiac arrest” at a known address for Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on the day his office disclosed he had been hospitalized, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News. According to the audio, the first medic on the scene at the address began performing CPR, according to the dispatchers, and was then joined by an additional EMS team at the same address.

  • The congressman with no record, Byron Donalds

    07/02/2026 7:07:58 AM PDT · by DIRTYSECRET · 43 replies
    Donalds was elected to Congress in 2020. A man who missed 161 congressional votes? A congressman with virtually no meaningful legislative footprint? A politician whose public image appears exponentially larger than his measurable achievements? Then there are growing controversies and scrutiny surrounding entities tied to his wife’s business and political ecosystem, issues that critics argue directly contradict the polished “law and order” image being sold to voters.

    For two weeks, former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized with no update on his condition. And now this: Cocaine Mitch may have had a heart attack in his home and no one on his staff or in his family has said a word about it? This guy isn't a private citizen. He is one of the most powerful politicians in the country. He's 84. He's been falling and glitching out during interviews for several years. Why is he still in office?? This new report from the New York Post comes after they reviewed tapes from District Fire...

    WASHINGTON – President Trump will take his new Air Force One for its first flight on Wednesday when he heads to North Dakota to open the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. The trip is part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations. The president will also take a train ride, boarding the BNSF Freedom 250 Train as part of the journey to the library site. A ceremonial Rough Riders Troop will accompany the presidential motorcade to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. The group on horseback will evoke the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt and the volunteer cavalry regiment that helped define his public...
  • Florida woman claims cocaine found in her butt after arrest must’ve been from ‘intimate encounter’

    A Florida woman picked up an extra felony charge when she wildly tried to smuggle nearly 4 grams of cocaine into a county jail through her “jail purse.” Brevard County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Reagan Cox, 30, on Saturday for resisting arrest during a traffic stop. When she arrived at the Brevard County Jail, staff noticed something abnormal with Cox’s “lower region” — or her “jail purse area if you will.” Corrections deputies escorted Cox to a changing room, where she attempted “to shield” her buttocks with her hand, authorities said. When staff removed her hand, a baggie dropped to...

    X ^ | June 30 | Rand Paul & Glenn Beck
    @RandPaul Months before the Supreme Court ever ruled, I had a feeling exactly this would happen. An executive order was never going to be strong enough to permanently fix birthright citizenship, no matter how good the intentions behind it were. That's why I filed a constitutional amendment early this year instead of waiting around to see how the courts would rule. This decision confirms what I already suspected. If we want real, lasting change, it has to come through the amendment process. @glennbeck The Supreme Court just ruled that, apparently, immigration IS a suicide pact. It has struck down Trump's...

    The Supreme Court has established a new nationwide precedent that allows states to protect women's sports. The justices ruled in favor of West Virginia and Idaho on Thursday against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls' sports. The states were backed by the law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), while the trans athletes were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Cooley Legal. In the highly-anticipated rulings on West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld state laws requiring student-athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond with their biological sex at...

    Eighteen-year-old Leotha Bush thought, allegedly, that he was going to get one up on a group of workmen at a Memphis, Tennessee, home when he pulled a pistol on them earlier this month. In the end, he was the one who ended up tied to the rails of the front porch of the home. According to WREG-TV, Bush allegedly tried to rob the work crew in the Highland Heights neighborhood on June 8 using a BB gun that looked like a semi-automatic pistol. Bush had apparently walked up to the house and asked for a cigarette lighter, the station reported....

    No lies detected here from Mr. Bob Odenkirk. Pretty amazing to hear one of Hollywood's most bankable stars of the past 15 years implicitly refer to the Founders as "a whole bunch of good people." Not something you're apt to see at the Oscars! Even better, it looks like this may be a series, perhaps leading up to the 4th of July. Thanks for showing us how it's done, Saul!
