NASHVILLE, TN — While commemorating the film's 20th anniversary, former Vice President Al Gore explained that while An Inconvenient Truth did not prove to be accurate, it did make him incredibly rich. Gore, who wrote and starred in the Oscar-winning documentary, was happy to sit down for an interview with ABC News' Ginger Zee this week to discuss how successful the film was at building his wealth. "I think the film was a great success, actually," Gore said, speaking of the film's numerous failed predictions. "For me, that is. It may not have been true in any way, but...

@DNIGabbard Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth

How would a leadership challenge work and who could stand?MPs unhappy with Sir Keir remaining in post could try to force a leadership election. This would require 20% of the party's MPs to back a replacement candidate. There are 403 Labour MPs, so the support of 81 would be needed. Once a Labour leadership election is triggered, other candidates could join the contest if they also had 81 backers. Sir Keir would not be required to gather support as he would be automatically on the ballot paper if he chose to contest the leadership election. He would continue as prime...

Today's episode: Epic Failure.

A woke Colorado woman who stormed out of a local barbecue restaurant because it was playing the national anthem says she will never return. Autum Trayler, 24, filmed her horrified reaction to the patriotic tune blaring inside Mission BBQ in Arvada. 'I'm not doing none of this,' said Trayler in the June 9 clip, which racked up nearly 8,000 views on TikTok. 'Help me,' she whispered as she gestured to the camera with a fist and mimicked choking herself out of disgust. Trayler, of Denver, also wrote in her caption that she was not in a safe space and added...

"Afrikaner children sell old tires for food. An American tourist gives him $6USD we need to give them asylum. South Africa went from 1st world nation that invented heart surgery, now their people starve on the street. Is this the future for America if we don’t fix immigration?" Rush1776Rush X video

According to recent studies, mandatory voter identification, as outlined in the SAVE Act, is extremely popular, with up to 84 percent of the American public in favor. A very small minority, mostly on the far-left, oppose voter I.D., but with that far-left side taking over the mainstream Democratic Party, including congressional Democrats and their mouthpieces in the liberal media, you’ll hear more unhinged rants against the SAVE Act, like the one from Wednesday’s episode of MS NOW’s The 11th Hour

"They were putting the pride banners above my veterans, and that does not work, sorry," said American Legion Commander William McKenna during a phone interview with Eyewitness News. McKenna said that they have had calls and people showing up to express their concerns about the Pride flag hanging above the Hometown Heroes veterans' banners. "If you put a pride flag by one of my veterans, I'm taking every one of them down," McKenna said. . . "People started complaining about the flag being on the same pole above a veteran's banner," said Jeff Cusick, the treasurer of Northport Pride Fest....

The Trump administration has labeled the algae cleanup operation in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool a "regional and national priority" in an email to staff, urging them to work overtime to scrub the monument in time for July 4 celebrations, according to a report. President Donald Trump's $14 million pet project to resurface the 2,000-foot pool, which was supposed to make the water appear an "American flag blue," has turned green after becoming infested with algae just days after completion. National Park Service employees received an email, obtained by MeidasTouch, urging them to support "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" at...

CBS Television Studios has been sued by a writer on Matlock, who accuses the show’s top brass of directing disparaging sexual and racist comments at him and other Black cast and crew members. The writer, John Lowe, alleges in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in California state court that Matlock‘s showrunner and executive producers created a hostile work environment “permeated by sexually explicit and discriminatory conduct.” He was terminated after allegedly reporting an incident in which his supervisor referred to Juneteenth as “Coonteenth.”

Hunter Biden has asked Joe Rogan to oversee a 'cage match' between him and Donald Trump Jr. The disbarred former attorney made the request on X on Thursday, after making a similar pitch to YouTuber Andrew Callaghan back in April. The lengthy post first sought to explain why he and other Americans were so 'offended' by Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 event.

Well, it's something, I guess. The sheriff in Las Vegas has a plan to end the drag-racing portion of "teen takeovers" in his city, and it just might work. That's quite the deterrent. I mean, yeah, arrests would be nice. Convictions, nicer. Parents being held accountable ... even better. But this is a start. Here's Fox5 in Vegas: The vehicle destructions mark the first use of a new law passed during the last legislative session. Assemblywoman Linda Hunt sponsored the legislation, which allows law enforcement to confiscate vehicles used in street racing and destroy them if they cannot pass a...

Knicks owner James Dolan appeared to throw shade on Mayor Zohran Mamdani when he told revelers “I don’t need your vote” right after Hizzoner pumped out a speech heavy on Knicks history and their playoff run. “I don’t need your vote, I don’t need to quote to you, right, about what happened,” Dolan said, “cause if you’re real Knicks fans, you know it already.” Dolan’s remarks came after Mamdani mentioned dozens of former Knicks and ran back some of the most memorable memories in the franchise’s history, including giving shout outs to random former players like Jared Jeffries and Renaldo...

@atrupar JD Vance ends his press conference by turning on Israel: "What does bother me is you've seen people in Bibi's cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attacked the president. My message to them is Donald J Trump is the only head in the state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.

Left-wing candidate Abdul El-Sayed is now leading Michigan’s Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed is campaigning for the seat held by Democrat Gary Peters. Michigan’s primary is Aug. 4, and the winner will likely compete with Republican Mike Rogers in the Nov. 3 general election.

I'm pretty much a hawk on Iran and certainly don't trust them to hold their part of any deal. Putting that aside for a moment... Note, numbered paragraphs below are not meant to correspond to MOU numbering. 1 - Why do we even need a deal? If, for whatever reason, the US doesn't want to fight anymore, we can stop and leave without ceremony. Let them wonder if we'll hit them again. They know what prompted our attack. The US doesn't owe them a written apology. Iran misbehaved, we b*tch slapped them, so now -Bye! What's wrong with that? Worried...
