Facing a $100 million revenue shortfall largely due to federal Medicaid reimbursement cuts, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest affiliate of the national abortion business, has begun selling Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures to generate new income. The affiliate, which serves Northern California and Nevada, is introducing the services amid significant financial pressures. It closed five abortion clinics and laid off nearly 15% of its staff in 2025 after losing substantial Medicaid funding following a July spending bill under President Trump. Stacy Cross, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, said of the funding gap, “We’ll never fill...

TEHRAN — The Iranian government has officially announced a successor to Ayatollah Khamenei, introducing today the new Supreme Ayatollah, Tucker Carlson.

In his opening address, Ayatollah Carlson confirmed that he will continue the hard-line Islamic extremism...

Has there ever been a period in American history in the memory of almost all living people in which there has been so much change in the year since Donald Trump returned to the presidency in 2025? The whirlwind of change, both national and worldwide, is almost beyond comprehension. And in the midst of writing about all that shock over the sudden changes initiated by Trump, it is possible to slip up and make stunning admissions.Such seemed to be the case with Politico senior executive editor Alexander Burns when he appeared to slip up on Monday in "Trump Buries the...

Does any one remember a post from many years ago that fits this description. The Setting: A man is in his study/living room at night, reading by lamplight. * The Visitor: A man appears suddenly. He is gaunt, weary, and dressed in strange or rugged clothing. He reveals he is a descendant of the man he is visiting. * The Warning: He describes a total collapse of American civilization. He explains that there is a way to stop it, but it requires a specific, seemingly mundane change in the present. * The Cryptic Ending: In the final moments, the visitor...

Podcast host and TikToker Leigh McGowan, known as PoliticsGirl on social media, apologized during a CNN appearance on Friday after falsely claiming President Donald Trump said Democrats should be "killed." "I also feel like, to your point, you're saying the government, we vote for the government — they're the ones that would decide if AI gave over, if Anthropic gave over their, you know, ability to hunt us down with machines and kill us at will — and they don't happen to like us," she said. "I am called a domestic terrorist constantly by my government," McGowan continued. "My president...

As President Trump pointed out, it isn’t rare earths that are critical to national security, it's the “rare processing” industry. ...In a Chinese plant, this process requires over 200 workers managing chemical tanks and adjusting valves manually. The Saskatchewan facility was able to reduce this by approximately 80 workers and an AI that receives thousands of data points every second and can make the necessary adjustments that no human team could coordinate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — (snip) Biden, who has rarely made public appearances since leaving office last year, sat, like many of his fellow passengers, awaiting a flight that would take him to Columbia, South Carolina, for an evening event with the South Carolina Democratic Party. Passengers whispered and gaped in wonder: Why would a man who for a time was leader of the free world be, like they were, at the mercy of airport travel delays, even as he sat ensconced in his security detail? (snip) Biden — seated in the third row of the tiny first class cabin on the...

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., claimed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was "unhinged" during part of her closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee on Thursday. "I asked her a very pointed question, and you'll see that in the transcript and the video that comes out, and you'll see how she responded as well, screaming," Mace told reporters on Friday morning. Asked to elaborate, she repeated the word again when telling reporters, "I hope that President Clinton is less unhinged today than his wife was yesterday. You'll see it." (snip) "Yesterday's deposition with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton...

You know the old saying, "Not all sinkholes are created equally?" Of course not, because it's not a saying at all. But it does ring true, and a sinkhole that was recently discovered at a golf club in England proves the point. Davyhulme Park Golf Club, located just west of Manchester, is more than 110-years-old. And seeing what the sinkhole revealed, it's a course that was built on top of a rather impressive wine and port cellar. After a lengthy stretch of severe rain, greenskeepers discovered the appearance of a sinkhole on the 13th hole. The staff got to work...

Iran says it fired four ballistic missiles at the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, which launched many of the strikes on the Islamic Republic Saturday and Sunday. But, contrary to claims in Iran — all the missiles missed, the US said. In response to Iran's claims that it struck the nuclear-powered floating airfield, the US Central Command posted a message on the social media platform X. "The Iranian regime claims to have killed 50 U.S. service members. LIE." CENTCOM said that there have been "no reported US casualties" and that "no US Navy ship has been struck."
