18-year-old Janek Szkaradek, and yes, on Saturday, he drove a lawnmower straight through the entrance of a Target store in Ocala, took a spin around the dollar bin area, and left. He damaged the door in the process. The day before, Szkaradek walked into a nearby Culver's with a leaf blower and apparently turned it on and used it, disturbing all of the guests who were simply trying to enjoy their burgers, curds, and custard. Janek's buddy, Luke Charske, was there to film both stunts for social media. Aaaaaand, they've both been arrested. Aaaaaand, they've both been arrested. From Click...

“The scurrilous left-wing group had to pay for racism to meet demand,” Dan McLaughlin, National Review. Revelations that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center had been funding “hard right” extremist groups raise an important question beyond whether or not it was defrauding donors. The question is: If right-wing hate is so prevalent in America, why does the left have to fund it? We’re still learning what it is, exactly, that the SPLC has been up to, but what we’ve learned so far is pretty damning. The group — whose “hate map” holds tremendous sway with the press, politicians, and corporate...

Everything Barack Obama interjects into public discourse always appears neutral on its face, but in truth is delivered within a systemic context or tone. Throughout his grueling presidency, Barack Obama assigned motives to any incident involving a white person and a black person. From Henry Louis Gates to Trayvon Martin to Jussie Smollett to George Floyd, until further notice, the person with the most melanin was always presumed innocent. By contrast, Caucasians were usually deemed worthy of special mention, especially in Obama’s April 2009 treatise on right-wing extremism, where Christians, prolifers, ex-military, and white people on the whole were suspected...

RunTime 13 m 13 s They told you it was a Billionaire Tax. 5%. One time. Only 200 people. Nothing to do with you. I went to page 26. One paragraph buried in 34 pages of fine print gives Sacramento the power to convert this into a tax on EVERYONE — your house, your 401k, your savings, your retirement — without asking you again. Ever. No ballot measure. No special election. No vote required. This is the same trick they pulled with AB 130. Newsom looked straight into the camera and told reporter Ashley Zavala he would NEVER sign a...

Plenty of people are concerned about the rise of artificial intelligence, or AI. Two of our four kids are freelance graphic artists, and they are (legitimately) worried about their incomes being yanked as more people use AI for simple graphics chores like designing logos, and increasingly for more complicated work, like graphics for television programming and websites. It's a fair thing to be worried about, but as I have advised them both, that genie ain't going back in the bottle, so they'd best figure out how to work with it - or find another line of work. These kinds of...

For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home while, at the same time, stumbling into a continuing catalogue of catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding American citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals... We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own...

Diego Pavia was not drafted over the weekend, but there’s still some potential demand for his services. The undersized Vanderbilt QB accepted an invite to Ravens minicamp on a tryout basis after not being selected during the three-day, seven-round 2026 NFL Draft. “I’m sure that he’s disappointed that he didn’t get drafted, of course,” ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Monday. “The Ravens minicamp is this weekend, but there are other teams that have their minicamps the next weekend. …” McAfee also posited the Heisman Trophy finalist could spend a few weeks in the...

Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby, one of college football's top returning players, is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction, the school announced Monday. Sorsby's decision to seek treatment, according to sources, came in the wake of the discovery of Sorsby making thousands of online bets on a variety of sports via a gambling app, which jeopardizes his eligibility with Texas Tech. The NCAA is investigating Sorsby's gambling, according to sources, as the organization forbids athletes from betting on both college and pro sports. Texas Tech said in a statement that the university "is committed to...

While the world hunts for the elusive Planet Nine, a new gravitational anomaly suggests something much closer is hiding in the dark. This gravitational warp doesn't align with a far-off gas giant, instead, the math points to an Earth-sized rocky planet lurking in the twilight. Something astronomers are calling Planet Y.

“Multiple young men” were allegedly drugged and raped at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, according to an explosive new report which detailed harrowing accusations from murder to babies snatched from mothers at the pedophile’s New Mexico house of horrors.

RT 14 m 57 s .... ...Susan Kokinda links a third assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the Washington Hilton—where a 31-year-old Californian, Cole Tomas Allen, charged a Secret Service checkpoint with firearms and knives—to a broader political struggle she frames as the British imperial system versus Trump’s “American System.” She argues Trump’s own remarks about assassinations point to a pattern of targeting “impactful” leaders, comparing today’s climate to anarchist-era killings around 1900 and the 1901 assassination of William McKinley. Kokinda ties the attack’s timing to King Charles’ Washington visit, a new book, The Queen and Her Presidents, and a...

Bruce Springsteen offered a "prayer of thanks" for Donald Trump at the beginning of his show in Austin on Sunday night. The legendary rocker – who has been embroiled in a war of words with the President for years – offered a moment of civility by acknowledging the shooting at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, which took place the night before. In his message, the Boss gave a “prayer of thanks that our President, nor anyone in the administration, nor anyone attending, was injured” (via Consequence). “We can disagree,” Springsteen continued. “We can be critical of those in power, and...

A hot air balloon slammed into a Sacramento-area casino building Monday afternoon and stayed in the air after the chaotic tumble. Sister station KCRA's LiveCopter 3 captured the moment the balloon slammed into a building as Sky River Casino was celebrating a groundbreaking for a new hotel. The video showed the basket of the balloon hit the side of the building, at one point reaching a 90-degree angle, while there was someone still inside the basket. The balloon kept going, attempting to descend for a landing, then aborting the effort and climbing back into the sky. LiveCopter 3 observed the...

From a "Day On The Green" concert promoted by Bill Graham, 2 July 1977. A brilliant live performance, they also played "Sweet Home Alabama". I was able to replace the audio as this performance was used in "Freebird - The Movie" of which a soundtrack album was issued. Unfortunately there is no track for "Sweet Home Alabama". MtnClimber: I saw the band on October 18, 1977 at the Lakeland (FL) civic center on the next to the last performance before the plane crash. It was the 5th time I had seen them. The devastating Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash near Gillsburg,...
