    Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama, has spent years cultivating an image as America's most relatable first lady, the warm, down-to-earth mom everybody loves. Yet, it seems like every time she opens her mouth, she proves what a horrible person she is. We’re talking Hillary Clinton-level bad. Last month, we learned that Barack Obama’s wife reportedly made sure Cheryl Hines never got a role in Larry David's new HBO series, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, because Hines is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's secretary of health and human services. Hines...

    Professor Edmund Whitmore takes the stage to make an argument most scientists won't say out loud: that we are probably alone in the universe. Not "we haven't found anyone yet." Actually alone. The only technological civilization that exists, or has ever existed, within any distance that matters.

    Grok AI Analyzed the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film — The Results Are Shocking For nearly six decades, the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film has resisted every attempt to explain it away. Now Grok AI has analyzed the legendary 1967 footage using movement, proportion, terrain, and mask-boundary tests. What the system found challenges the classic man-in-a-suit theory in ways that are difficult to ignore. And one frame in particular may be the most unsettling clue of all.

    Daily Wire ^ | Aug 27, 2026 | Megan Brock•
    Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is quietly trying to erase women and mothers from his state’s health code. The Democrat’s administration has removed female terminology and replaced it with transgender-inclusive language in a proposed overhaul to Pennsylvania’s health code. The terms “pregnant woman” and “mother of a newborn” have been replaced with “pregnant or postpartum individual” throughout the 502-page proposal, which was announced on August 8. Women who have given birth to a stillborn baby are no longer called a “mother” but are instead referred to as a “postpartum individual” in the proposed regulation changes. Shapiro is pushing to give Pennsylvania’s...

    U.S. — A popular dating app announced a new feature that would allow men to filter out women who support accused child murderer Lindsay Clancy. OkCupid developers announced the new addition to the app after men expressed a desire for a product that would allow them to be paired with women who don't empathize with a woman on trial for murdering her three young children. "It's a pretty simple concept, really," OkCupid spokesman Mark Sidwell explained. "There are a lot of men out there who would rather not waste their time with women who think the patriarchy is responsible...

    An enraged Wisconsin parent was cited for tripping a 9-year-old football player during a youth league game when he became “upset over a play,” as the child’s coach declared it the “most cowardly act I’ve ever seen. Shocking footage captured the dad, who was supporting the Milwaukee Colts, taking matters into his own hands when he made the drastic intervention against the Case Eagles in Racine, Wisc., on Saturday, CBS58 reported. The Eagles football player, wearing No. 88, was rushing to score a touchdown when the rogue adult extended his left leg and tripped the athlete. The boy and adult...
