NEW YORK CITY, NY — Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the installation of a Muslim foot-washing station at the base of the 9/11 Memorial in preparation for marking the 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks. Mamdani stated that the addition was long overdue, as Muslims repeatedly lodged complaints about not feeling properly accommodated at the site where thousands perished. "So far, the 9/11 Memorial has been a total failure, with systemic exclusion built into its very bricks," said Mamdani. "How can you celebrate — I mean, solemnly observe — 9/11 properly without humbly obliging the religion that propagated these...

However, that wasn't the only costume Target was forced to pull from its shelves. Here are seven other costumes that got the axe:

It’s funny because they don’t seem to realize that each outraged tweet is met with an equal and opposite reaction of MAGA memes. The more flipped out and angry they get, the funnier it is. They have put everything into a war on Donald Trump. They can’t blame those on the other side for loving Trump for giving it right back, hand-delivered on a shining gold platter.

Once again, Florida leads the way in conservative government. Apparently, "fascists" down in Florida don't want taxpayers to be purchasing the neck tattoos and Disney World tickets for people who are on welfare. The takeaway here is that the other 49 states ARE paying for the tattoos and video games for welfare recipients. This is a real thing that goes on everywhere in the United States. Except Florida. From Fox News: Florida is the first state to impose sweeping new limits on how welfare cash can be spent, blocking recipients from using cash-assistance benefits loaded onto EBT cards for purchases...

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...

Wi-Fi sensing is becoming a powerful technology, capable of detecting movement and gestures without cameras, raising significant questions about online privacy.

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.

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...

A woman is drawing massive condemnation on social media after a video surfaced where she said she killed her baby in an abortion because she “loved him.” Describing abortion as supposedly the only way she could protect the baby from a hard childhood, the woman ignore adoption as an alternative or improving the circumstances to welcome a child. “I got the abortion because I loved my baby, and I could not see a better way to love my baby and protect my baby from a childhood in a world that would not be kind to it,” she said. “I knew...
