El Niño has officially begun, and it is forecast to intensify into a very strong or “Super” El Niño with major shifts in global weather patterns and an even hotter climate, according to a new report released Thursday morning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. El Niño is a periodic weather pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean that alters winds and features unusually hot waters in the central and eastern Pacific. These changes in winds and ocean temperatures have knock-on effects on weather patterns worldwide. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is giving this El Niño a 63% chance of becoming...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump set a new world record this week by winning the same war with Iran for the 27th time this year, shattering the previous record of one.According to White House officials, Trump first won the war with Iran in February. However, the war started again the following week, but was quickly won, and Trump has continued winning the war multiple times since."No one thought we could win the war so many times," Trump told reporters. "We won it very strongly. Then we won it again bigly, and then we won it even more. Frankly, nobody...

@SenLummis Big Banks debanked President Trump—and many others in America—because they didn't agree with their politics. We can never go back to Biden's Operation Chokepoint 2.0 policies. This should be investigated.

“We’re in a nightmare. It doesn’t feel real,” said Anthony’s parents in their first interview following the verdict with Mimi Brown on The Breakfast Club. “We’ve been up all night crying and praying.” “We didn’t know how cruel the world could be,” Karmelo Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, said. “We did everything we were advised and told to do, and look what happened.” . . . “The reality of this is that somebody literally walked into [Karmelo’s] life,” he said, “[Karmelo] did everything by the law and just look at where we’re at.”

Left-wing Texas congresswoman Jasmie Crockett has suggested that she would have stabbed Austin Mecalf just like Karmelo Anthony did. Anthony has been sentenced for first-degree murder and will spend the next 35 years in prison for killing 17-year-old Metcalf during a confrontation at a Frisco, Texas track meet. On the lawmaker's Tuesday episode of "Clock It with Crockett,” she made claims about the murder weapon that Anthony used to kill Metcalf, as well as suggested that she would have done the same thing as the murderer. She first downplayed the size of the knife that was used to stab Metcalf,...

Karmelo Anthony’s grandmother, Toni Hayes, was caught on camera leading chants of “Racist! Biased! Prejudiced!” as she left the McKinney, Texas, courthouse, where Anthony, 19, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. “They sent a MESSAGE that a white person can hit a black boy and get away with it! They can do whatever the **** they want!” she said from her car. She is further seen making hearts with her hands as supporters send her off. Bystanders are seen sending her off, screaming, “Free Karmelo” and chanting, “Racist! Biased! Prejudiced!” as they surrounded her car...

According to KGW, the lawsuits are seeking more than $11 million in combined damages.The bull, named Party Bus, cleared the fence during his first rodeo appearance at the annual event in Sisters, Oregon, and charged into the bleachers and concession area, trampling both plaintiffs before the animal was contained.In the first lawsuit, Allison Hickey is seeking $9.25 million, alleging the bull knocked her to the...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As racial tensions continued to rise in the wake of the verdict handed down in the Austin Metcalf murder trial, a somber former President Barack Obama said if he had a son who stabbed someone in the heart with a knife, he would look just like Karmelo Anthony. Obama made the solemn statement as part of a press release in which he bemoaned the lingering racial disharmony that exploded during his presidency, clearly exemplified by the horrific stabbing of Metcalf at the hands of Anthony last spring. According to the former president, if he had a murderous...

President Trump on Wednesday endorsed a third $350 billion reconciliation bill, urging Congress to “IMMEDIATELY” pass it with the Save America Act included. “I am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to IMMEDIATELY advance and pass the forthcoming $350 Billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0) — which, at the request of our Great Department of War — will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as well,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “No games, no delays, and no weak compromises! Do this ASAP,” he added. His comments come a day after Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Senate...

In a handful of former mining towns and villages in north-west England, there is a lot of frustration with the state of the UK. It is common to hear people say "Britain is broken", "we are forgotten", and calls for "change". This is the Makerfield constituency, where locals are being heard louder than ever before in the most consequential by-election in decades. A constituency that made up 0.1% of voters at the last general election is not only picking a new MP on 18 June. Voters here are also potentially choosing the next prime minister. That is because Labour's candidate,...

but after Tuesday's guilty verdict, the family was flooded with dozens of hateful messages across social media and text messages to their personal phones. TMZ has also learned that people are threatening to show up to Metcalf family homes, taunting them by saying they're soiling Austin's grave.

A glance at her bio shows that Dem Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania is the daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. CNN: "You are the daughter of Holocaust survivors... do you support him as a candidate?" HOULAHAN: " I don’t make that choice for the people of Maine; I am hopeful that his candidacy is successful"

Machine Gun Kelly has revealed his skin turned yellow after rushing to finish his blackout tattoos. The rapper, real name Colson Baker, said he decided to get the full blackout tattoo after looking in the mirror and seeing a mishmash of tattoos, some from periods of his life he’d rather forget about. So, he decided to enlist the help of celebrity tattoo artist ROXX who came up with a ‘dark mode’ tattoo that covers most of his arm, chest, and stomach in solid black ink. But says he was left feeling unwell after refusing to take it slow and steady...

Pritzker dodged, weaved, and then — in a moment of breathtaking gall — pointed the finger at Texas governor Greg Abbott Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker found himself in a tight spot this week when a television reporter asked the obvious question: Why won’t you spend a dime to keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois, but you’ve proudly dropped billions on illegal immigrants? Pritzker’s answer? Blame Texas. In a squirm-worthy exchange, the governor — who’s been quietly eyeing a 2028 presidential run — was pressed on his refusal to use taxpayer funds to help the Bears stay in Chicago. The...

A controversial online fundraiser for Karmelo Anthony has been shut down after his family raised some `$630,000 for legal and living expenses now that he was convicted of murder — but his family may still be able to set up a new one. The GiveSendGo went offline Wednesday afternoon, a day after 19-year-old Anthony was convicted in a Texas courtroom of killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at an April 2025 high school track meet. GiveSendGo – a crowd sourcing platform that differs from GoFundMe in that it allows fundraisers for criminal cases – confirmed the fundraiser closure in a statement to...

The U.S. military has begun launching airstrikes against Iranian targets, a U.S. official told Fox News on Wednesday. “U.S. Central Command forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” CENTCOM added in a statement on X. “The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.” Explosions were reportedly heard in Sirik, Qeshm Island, Minab and Isfahan, key Iranian sites amid the major escalation between the United States and Iran. Blasts reportedly heard near Strait of Hormuz and western Tehran after US strike launch: Sounds...

@RupertLowe10 Farage throwing around more outright lies about Restore Britain on national television just now - I am entirely uninterested in sliding into the filth through responding. He is attempting to deflect from the fact that two of his senior MPs allowed a brutal third world Sudanese savage into our country. A man was almost beheaded. Neck slashed apart. Eye gouged out. In the middle of the street. He was saved from having his head sawn off by brave bystanders. He was welcomed into our country, handed a visa. By who? Who made the call? Reform's Robert Jenrick as immigration...
