    While Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has not been seen publicly since federal agents raided her Washington, D.C., residence on Monday, her political consultant husband was once again spotted emerging from their shared rental home this week. Tim Mynett was seen Wednesday stepping out in the neighborhood to walk their Golden Labrador Retriever dog Teddy, a second time later that same day to take out the trash and a third time to walk out his wife’s staffer. “There are rumors that the congresswoman left the country, is that true?” Mynett was asked while on an evening walk with Teddy. “You guys are...

    The teenage gunman who shot and killed three children and a teacher at an Oregon elementary school on Thursday opened fire at a pickup truck before storming into the school, witnesses say. The unidentified 16-year-old was carrying a shotgun when a man in a red Toyota Tacoma pickup truck idling in Silver Rail Elementary School's parking lot noticed he was heading toward the school, The Source reported. Concerned by what he was seeing, the driver then decided to confront the teenager, who in turn fired numerous shots at the civilian and his truck, shattering a rear window and leaving six...

    Belén, a single mother of three living in poverty, was scrolling through Facebook one day in 2022 when she came across an opportunity she believed could change her life. The then-31-year-old was working as a waitress and struggling to afford food for her children while living in the home of her physically abusive ex-boyfriend. So when she saw a post from a wealthy gay couple who were looking for a surrogate to carry their child, Belén says she ‘saw the way out’ of her situation and immediately contacted them to arrange a meeting. The couple promised to pay her and...
  • Hillary Clinton finally admits 2016 near-fainting episode at 9/11 memorial was a ‘mistake’ (side of beef)

    Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton revisited the video showing her appearing to stagger and nearly faint after a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in 2016, conceding on Wednesday that campaigning while having pneumonia was a “mistake.” The former secretary of state spoke to Kara Swisher on their new joint podcast about Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico’s nine-day absence from the campaign trail after he said he contracted the flu. His absence from public appearances led to a viral online rumor wrongly alleging that he had secretly been admitted to an Ohio mental health facility, which Clinton and Swisher said was...

    “I can literally still see that video in my head,” Stratton recalls in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. In the clip, he says, was what looked like a black triangular craft with orange, white and yellow lights glowing on each corner. It moved silently before seeming to defy the laws of physics by accelerating faster than the eye could follow — and was gone. “That,” says Stratton, “was the moment that changed my world.”

    een from Earth, the Moon looks so bright and peaceful. But on closer inspection, the lunar surface is etched with crinkles that also happen to be active faults—whose appearance and behavior may be more unexpected than scientists thought. In a study published yesterday in The Planetary Science Journal, scientists report the identification of more than 10,000 young faults across the lunar surface. The team referenced images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), specifically its images of ridges and long, curvy structures called lobate scarps. These features form as a result of a celestial body’s contraction, in this case the...

    US move to curtail Ukraine’s access to Starlink triggers ‘kill switch’ fears around Lockheed Martin’s Skynet bidAn American defence giant has emerged as the frontrunner to build British military satellites, just hours after Ukraine’s access to US systems was curtailed.In a prospective deal worth up to £2bn, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is pushing to buy a new generation of Skynet satellites from US giant Lockheed Martin.The Skynet system is a lynchpin of the British military, with the current fleet of satellites produced in the UK by Airbus.The technology allows the Armed Forces to communicate and share information securely anywhere...

    Sadly, and very stupidly, John Cornyn, and his Liddle’ Buddy, Super RINO, Karl Rove, are doing everything possible to make it hard for Ken Paxton, the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and one of the Best in the United States, to win the upcoming Midterm Election against a Radical Left Lunatic, James TalaFREAKO, who is the ANTITHESIS of Texas Values. John Cornyn who, after my Endorsement, lost the Primary to Ken by a very wide margin, and Karl Rove, who shouldn’t be allowed to spew his jealousy on FoxNews, should be ashamed of themselves. They are hurting...

    The battle on Election Day is between the voting booth and the couch, No Kings organizers say. Demonstrators are expected to line Michigan intersections, pedestrian bridges, parks and more on Saturday, Oct. 17, a few weeks ahead of the midterm election on Nov. 3, in an effort to encourage people to make a plan to vote. Multiple mass protests dubbed "No Kings Day" have taken place nationwide since President Donald Trump returned to office in 2025, with the event name serving as an ode to their argument that Trump has increasingly turned toward authoritarianism and that democracy is under attack....

    The OpenAI engineer who was fired after being charged this week with bugging a conference room at the AI giant was nabbed by the FBI only three days before his one-way flight to Saudi Arabia was set to take off, according to court papers. Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35 year-old Saudi national, said he helped advise Saudi Arabia government agencies on technology and gushed in a recent podcast interview about meeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, then the deputy crown prince, during the prince’s 2016 visit to Silicon Valley. Alfozan said he had been looking for guidance on whether to return...

    After six months in hiding, a frantic ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell was spotted scurrying toward a black SUV outside his family home in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday — as the Los Angeles County DA confirmed its reviewing his criminal rape case for charges. The California Post can also reveal Swalwell no longer living in the nation’s capital, and was only there for a fleeting business visit, which happened to fall on his 10th wedding anniversary to wife, Brittany Watts. The 45-year-old appeared harried just before 9 p.m., attempting to disguise himself in a cap and glasses as he hustled toward a...

    Waters didn’t pull any punches when discussing Metallica frontman James Hetfield. The Pink Floyd rocker was a guest on the Katie Halper Show podcast, where the topic of politics’ place in music was brought up. The host pointed to Hetfield’s recent comments during a Metallica show at the Sphere, where he declared: “Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their bull—-, OK? We’re here to forget about all of the outside s—. Metallica's agenda is love, energy, and heavy music, baby In response to those comments, Waters tore into Hetfield. “Can we stop talking about...

    From gas prices to Lindsay Clancy, the left is out of control. If the 2026 midterm campaigns have brought anything to light, it's the chaotic, two-faced nature of the now-Marxist left. We know that they will go to any lengths to protect illegal migrants, no matter how violent. No matter how many crimes they commit, they release them onto the streets of their sanctuary cities and blame ICE for any injuries incurred when these illegal criminals attempt to flee rather than submit to law enforcement. So, there can be no doubt that our so-called progressives care more for these invaders...
