    Democrats find themselves with a deplorable dilemma – whether to reach into their no-talent “bench” for a 2028 standard bearer or turn to the 78–year-old party matriarch for yet another comeback bid. Saddled with an aging constituency of white, privileged, female boomers who fill up “No Kings” rallies, Democrats are in such disarray that some are looking to Hillary Clinton to come to the rescue. The former Secretary of State is coming to New Hampshire next month to headline a major fundraising dinner – fueling speculation about her White House intentions and generational complaints from progressives who view her as...

    MIAMI, FL — As depicted in an exciting presentation of computer renderings of its breathtaking design, the proposed Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is set to feature a solemn "reflecting pool" filled with liberal tears. The design boasts an impressive lineup of features for the proposed skyscraper-style library, including a ballroom, a replica of Trump's Oval Office, and the luxurious new Air Force One jet gifted to the president by Qatar, but the Liberal Tears Reflecting Pool promised to draw plenty of visitors. "It's going to be the most beautiful thing you'll ever see, and deliciously refreshing, too," Trump...

    This NATO war game went horribly wrong. Ukraine’s drone warfare exposed NATO weaknesses during a major Estonia war game, and the results were brutal. In this video, I break down how just 10 Ukrainian operators simulated the destruction of two NATO battalions, and what that reveals about outdated doctrine and the future of warfare. In May of 2025, NATO ran a major "military exercise" called Hedgehog in Estonia, involving over 16,000 troops from 12 NATO countries. This "wargame" highlighted the critical role of a Ukrainian-Estonian OPFOR unit, leveraging advanced "drones" and the expertise of "Ukraine soldiers" to simulate a mechanized...

    Here's a quick recap if you're just joining us: On Saturday, two Army Apache attack helicopters went to Kid Rock's house (The Southern White House) during a training exercise near Nashville. They reportedly "buzzed" No Kings protesters right before this, with salty old libs saying they flew low over the protest deliberately. Shortly after this, the Army said the air crew had been suspended for their actions and an investigation had been opened. Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸 ----------------------------- KidRock @KidRock This is a level of respect...

MTG: "I hope you do. Then we'll re-plan how to get this country back on track in a real way, & I bet you we would have 10s of millions of Americans with us."

    Interviewer: “Is it a little bit homophobic that we're so focused on the Straights of Hormuz and not the Gays of Hormuz?” No Kings protester, completely serious: “Yes, I agree. For sure.” Interviewer: "Why do you think we are willing to leave the Gays of Hormuz behind?" No Kings protester: “I think it's just history. Historically, like, you know, gays have always been discriminated against which is wrong."

    There's a new twist in the case surrounding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk ... new legal documents claim the bullet used to commit the crime does not match the rifle tied to suspect Tyler Robinson, TMZ has learned. According to the legal docs obtained by TMZ, Robinson's defense team argues there’s a discrepancy between the ballistic evidence and the weapon prosecutors say is connected to Robinson ... who's facing multiple charges -- including aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury -- in Charlie's slaying.

    BBC ^ | March 30 | Rachel Clun
    The month-long closure of a crucial waterway for the global energy supply has sparked warnings the world is heading for problems worse than those caused by the 1970s oil crisis. Lars Jensen, a shipping expert and former director at Maersk, told the BBC the impact of the US-Israeli war on Iran could be "substantially larger" than the economic chaos seen in the 1970s. His comments follow a warning from the director of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, earlier this month that the world is "facing the greatest global energy security threat in history". "It is much bigger than what...

    Car crash-prone Tiger Woods won’t hire a driver to cart him around because he’s too private — and doesn’t want anyone knowing his whereabouts. The 50-year-old golf legend opts to drive himself everywhere because he doesn’t want employees to “watch over him or know what he is doing,” a source told People. “And he thinks he is fine to drive,” the source added. Woods — who is worth $1.5 billion, according to Forbes — was arrested on suspicion of DUI following another rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Fla., last Friday. Woods, who was forced to crawl out of his...

    An 18-year-old contestant at the Miss Grand Thailand 2026 preliminaries has gone viral for a horrible reason, after her veneers dislodged during her on-stage introduction. The contestant handled the awkward moment with remarkable poise. The preliminary round of the pageant took place earlier this week in Bangkok. Kamolwan Chanago, representing Pathum Thani province, was introducing herself to judges and the live audience when her upper veneers began to slip, noticeably affecting her speech. Video of the moment shows Chanago briefly stopping, turning her back to the camera and audience to fix her false teeth, then continuing her intro. Her response...
