Billionaire media mogul David Geffen has reportedly rekindled his romance with his ex-husband Donovan Michaels, just months after their bitter divorce and an explosive lawsuit. The 83-year-old entertainment titan and his 33-year-old former spouse appeared 'very much back together' during an October outing aboard Geffen's 454-foot superyacht Rising Sun, sources told Page Six. The apparent reconciliation comes as a surprise, given the vicious legal battle that followed their split and the wild accusations Michaels leveled against his billionaire ex. Their reconciliation comes just seven months after their divorce was finalized in April, bringing an end to a marriage that lasted...

I've been looking forward to watching Steven Crowder's coverage of the elections tonight but I haven't been able to log on all morning.

Only 25% of Americans said political surveys correctly estimate votes, according to a new POLITICO Poll, conducted by PF Global. The result reveals that a significant portion of the public lacks faith in the industry as it contends with accusations of consistently failing to reach Republican voters. "Failing" to reach? Or just, you know, intentionally not trying to reach? This mistrust, of course, isn't new. Roughly one in four respondents say that polls showing a blue wave coming in November are wrong, and they expect Republicans to win key races. And 41% of Americans — including voters of both parties...

Swiss adults who took mostly cold showers for 12 weeks reported 26% fewer sick days and 31% fewer days off work.

In Patriot Games, Admiral Greer, played by James Earl Jones, corners Jack Ryan with an ancient question: “What in life can you be sure of?” Ryan doesn’t cite career, country, or gold. He answers without hesitation: “The love of my daughter.” In a world governed by impermanence and calculated risk, Ryan named the one currency that isn’t transactional: unconditional devotion. Greer was probing character, but modern epidemiology suggests the admiral was probing human survival. We spend fortunes on statins, gym memberships, and organic produce, chasing biological certainty. Yet decades of clinical data reveal that one of the most potent life-extending...

When Altman said that you dont need a computer, he's giving you the talking point of the global order. They may not ban computers outright, but it probably wont be long before you cant buy one or get parts to upgrade yours. All that will be available is a 2026 version of the dummy work station, if anything at all.

Texas voter: “I’m a Republican. I’m an old school Reagan Republican, and I believe personal integrity means things. And so I support people that have good personal integrity, and I like James Talarico. He is the kind of guy we need in office.”

A former policy director for First Lady Michelle Obama was paid nearly $700,000 in total compensation last year despite revenue to the taxpayer-funded refugee resettlement organization plummeting by nearly $130 million, an investigation by The Center Square found. Krish O’Mara Vignarajah is the CEO of Baltimore-based Global Refuge, a faith-based nonprofit which received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants from the State and Health and Human Services departments since 2021. In 2025, she made $686,000, a 2% drop from the $699,000 she made the year before. That compares to a 44% drop in the nonprofit’s revenue during the...

During a podcast interview Wednesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized a video from actor Matthew McConaughey encouraging voters to consider independent candidates. On Sunday, McConaughey took to social media and challenged the long-held notion that voting for an independent candidate is a wasted vote, arguing that just a handful of independent lawmakers could dramatically shift the balance of power in Washington. "They've been telling us for years that an independent vote is a wasted vote," McConaughey said in a video shared on Instagram. "Well, a great question for our times is has that unwasted vote been working out...

At least nine people are dead after a $2 million private jet crashed into a South Florida mobile home park — apparently demolishing at least one trailer in a massive fireball. Nine people were on board the Learjet 60 en route from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it crashed into a massive fireball, the FAA said. The plane, which had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, took a sharp right turn before nosediving from 8,000 feet into the ground.

Robert Fulghum’s 1988 book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten sold over seven million copies, staying a best-seller for two years. It adapted simple truths taught to schoolchildren into lessons for grown-ups. One example: An adult might read a kindergarten instruction to “Put things back where you found them” as a reminder to respect orderliness and shared spaces. Other lessons included “Play fair” and “Don’t hit people.” Fulghum’s primer on standards of behavior and values already seems quaint. If you’re old enough to recall those traditional standards, you know they’ve since gone the way of printed...

I noticed a recent article citing that Mosques in Texas were funded and staffed by the Turkish Government. Then ran across these: https://www.meforum.org/mef-online/turkey-uses-mosques-state-employed-imams-to-influence-millions-abroad https://nordicmonitor.com/2026/02/turkey-funds-radical-jihadism-in-gaza-through-govt-run-foundation-under-charity-pretext/ https://en.yenisafak.com/turkiye/severing-ties-with-iran-goes-against-sovereignty-says-erdogan-3437256 Is Turkey becoming the new extension of Iran? Should it be in NATO, if it’s going to support Islamic Conquest? Any experts here, what’s really going on here.

“Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis,‘Get some volunteers and go,fortify the Alamo.’Well, the men came from Texas,and from old Tennessee,And they joined up with Travis,Just to fight for the right to be free…” That’s what TEXANS used to believe. And many of us, hopefully most of us, still do. But I’ll bet my last bottom dollar that James Talarico and his Texas Democrats don’t believe it. The question that forms the title of this article is absolutely ridiculous, of course — ridiculous to think that great men like Crockett, Bowie, William Travis, Almaron Dickenson, and approximately 180 other men,...

Nate Silver is part of the polling corps that’s hedging their bets. He wrote on Sunday that a blue wave looks likely, because that’s what all his colleagues are saying. Some of these projections are wild this year, like predicting Florida will have a Democrat governor. Not going to happen. In 2024, Silver infuriated Democrats with his Electoral College projections because Trump was winning; he swung to the other side slightly when Kamala Harris took over. Trump won. In 2026, he’s saying a blue wave will essentially happen only in blue states and, more importantly, that the GOP has a...

I’ve never owned a dog before. Finding myself retired and harboring a stubborn desire to avoid being alone all day, I decided it was time. Should I have done it sooner? No question. I admit I was unprepared. It felt like the stork had handed me a baby. The first afternoon, I found her sprawled flat across the floor with her back legs splayed out like a frog. I genuinely thought her hips were defective. I learned it’s called a “sploot”. I also insisted on a female under the hopeful impression that she would primp, groom, and not smell bad....

(NewsNation) — A violent brawl at a youth softball game in Houston last weekend left one man with several injuries, including brain bleeds. Attorney Steve Shellist, who represents the unidentified man, told the Houston Chronicle that his client suffered a broken jaw, a fractured skull and three brain bleeds after a metal water bottle allegedly possessed by Kiarious Hall struck him. According to investigators, Hall was cheering for his daughter’s team when he became involved in an argument with another spectator. Hall told investigators that a second man then approached, poked him in the chest and punched him in the...
