    Donald Trump has plenty of support from one of the NFL’s top teams.The San Francisco 49ers have the most registered Republican voters, a new study reveals. Albert Breer on Bills Weapons, AFC West Outlook, 49ers Roster San Francisco is one of the most liberal cities in the United States. In fact, the city has voted Democratic in every United States presidential election since 1960. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower won San Francisco over Democratic nominee Adlai Stevenson II, en route to an easy victory in the election. But in terms of players who are registered Republican voters? The San Francisco 49ers...

    Google Deepmind's new framework AlphaProof Nexus has autonomously solved nine out of 353 open Erdős problems it attempted, including two questions that had gone unanswered for 56 years. The system also proved 44 out of 492 open conjectures from the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), settled a 15-year-old question about Hilbert functions in algebraic geometry, and improved a known bound in convex optimization. Inference costs ran just a few hundred dollars per problem, according to the research paper. Unlike (potentially) pure natural-language approaches such as OpenAI's recent solution, the underlying language model in AlphaProof Nexus—in this case Gemini 3.1...
  • As America turns 250, Trump should restore Washington, DC's original borders

    05/26/2026 8:01:18 AM PDT · by DIRTYSECRET · 23 replies
    In 1847, D.C. pressed for the abolition of slavery, Alexandria, was officially separated after President James K. Polk issued a PROCLAMATION and the Virginia LEGISLATURE accepted. Virginians were afraid that "slaves" would walk across the boundary into the District and become free. With the Potomac River parting Virginia from the District, slaves would be unable to gain their freedom. As a result slavery EXPANDED in Virginia even after DC abolished it. President Trump should consider issuing an executive order directing the DOJ to EXPLORE the CONSTITUTIONALITY of the 1847 retrocession.

    Three ruffians were busted on hate crime charges Monday for allegedly ransacking Midtown’s Church of Scientology earlier this month – after the NYPD released crazy footage of the photo-obsessed mob. Jaelen Dinkens, 19, and Mohammed Amolegbe, 21, were charged with burglary, criminal mischief and assault – all as hate crimes – more than three weeks after the unruly crew of 31 people barreled through a locked side door of the West 46th Street premises while worshipers and visitors were attending a May 2 seminar, according to law enforcement sources. Tashaun Simms, 28, was charged with obstructing governmental administration and tampering...

    In another major win for President Trump’s efforts to right the wrongs of the weaponized Biden DOJ and FBI, and to fully restore the rights of all January 6 defendants, the Department of Justice filed a motion late Friday night, May 22, asking D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta to dismiss with prejudice the underlying indictments against the eight innocent Oath Keepers defendants whose sentences were commuted (but not fully pardoned) by President Trump. They were released from prison on Inauguration Night 2025, just as four Proud Boys leaders likewise had their sentences commuted rather than pardoned, and were released...

    Iran’s new supreme leader has declared “Israel will not live to see another 15 years” in a chilling affirmation of the Islamic Republic’s enmity towards the Jewish state.“Death to Israel” and “Death to America” remain the regime’s slogans, according to the statement from Mojtaba Khamenei aired on Tuesday morning by Iran’s state broadcaster.The rhetoric echoes the claim a decade by his father Ali Khamenei, the previous Supreme Leader, that Israel would not survive another 25 years.The comments come as an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander told the JC that the “biggest mistake” of the regime’s enemies was killing the...

    BRAMPTON — Peel Regional Police have arrested 17 men tied to an international criminal network known as For Brothers, targeting what investigators describe as a coordinated campaign of intimidation, threats, and escalating violence aimed at South Asian business owners across Canada and the United States — in what police called one of the largest extortion cases the region has ever seen, and the latest enforcement strike against a crisis that The Bureau‘s investigations have traced to the wholesale exploitation of Canada’s immigration and international-education systems. The network operated mainly out of Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga, touching Surrey, British Columbia,...

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A mother was arrested for D.U.I. after driving 120 miles per hour on I-10 with her three-year-old in the back seat, says the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO).

Officer Ernesto Valerio after he smelled marijuana in the car. An investigation determined that the mother was driving under the influence and found a lit marijuana joint and several empty bottles of alcohol after searching the car. Her three-year-old was in the backseat. In...

    MONTREAL — As Canadian Grand Prix qualifying took place at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on Saturday, a different kind of rally took place in Montreal’s downtown core. Sex workers announced they’d be going on strike during one of Montreal’s busiest weekends of the year. Over one hundred sex workers and allies walked the streets and protested in the name of improved wages and working conditions. “Grand Prix was a good opportunity because our employers make a lot of money,” said Adore Goldman, co-founder of the Sex Work Autonomous Committee (SWAC), established in 2019. “But…often we don’t make that much money because they...

    The son of the billionaire founder of fashion giant Mango has been arrested in Barcelona after his father died falling off a mountain nearly two years ago. Tycoon Isak Andic, 71, was hiking with his son Jonathan, 45, near the Catalan city when he plunged around 500ft down a cliff to his death in late 2024. Having opened and then closed an investigation in to the fatal fall, police confirmed the death was being investigated as a possible homicide in October. Jonathan Andic has always protested his innocence and insisted his father died by accident. But this morning he was...

    Los Angeles firefighters have broken ranks to tear into Mayor Karen Bass over the disastrous state of the department across the city. Officers revealed to the California Post they are trapped in marathon shifts, missing paychecks and going through hell while its budget flatlines despite rising risks of wildfires. They warned response times are climbing and emergency callouts are exploding but City Hall was refusing to pump in desperately needed cash. Fire crews are now pooling together more than $1 million of their own cash to push for a sales tax measure they claim would cover just the basics to...

    The failures of socialized medicine stem not from malice, but from inherent incentives: monopolistic structures, political allocation of resources, and suppressed innovation. I am regularly astonished at how many people -- often younger folks -- praise the supposed benefits of socialism and single‑payer health care. Despite extensive evidence to the contrary, and despite daily tragedies in systems that have adopted these models, the calls for more government intervention never seem to stop. Socialized medicine, exemplified by Britain’s National Health Service (NHS), was founded on noble ideals: universal access to care “free at the point of use,” funded collectively as a...

    Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old owner of the ‘Trump house’ in Southern California, has died after being brutally beaten by a Navy veteran. Sheron, an Army veteran, was violently assaulted by 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler in an unprovoked attack on May 20 outside of Sheron’s home. Kerry Sheron decorated his Escondido home with Trump banners and American flags. The Trump-supporting Army veteran died Sunday night just days after he was hospitalized in critical condition. Butler was previously charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats and battery. His charges will be upgraded after Sheron died from his injuries. Deputy District...

    The Democrats and the media (but I’m repeating myself) are profoundly dishonest, and there are a lot of “experts” they hire, with our tax dollars, who are even more dishonest. I have degrees in statistical analysis and political science. I’m not an expert at anything, except research and eighth-grade math. But I’ve spotted a basic disconnect between the Democrats, common sense and the truth. We had a president issue blanket pre-emptive pardons on his way out the door, to his entire family and his closest political allies, for crimes that nobody even knows about, that may or may not have...
  • NY Dems running for House want fed funding for ‘Drag Story Hour’ as city, state spends $700K

    Two New York Democrats running in a hotly contested congressional primary pledged federal funding for “Drag Story Hour” — as records show city and state taxpayers have paid nearly $700,000 to boost the program. Incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman and his opponent, former city Comptroller Brad Lander, both told an LGBTQ Democratic club that they support dishing out federal money to subsidize the program, which invited drag queens into schools to read to young children. “Unfortunately, the Majority does not allow funding from Members of Congress to support LGBTQIA+ programming,” Goldman wrote in on a questionnaire from the Jim Owles LGBT...

    The book (left) and Martin Johnes (right)This is a review and discussion of the book Wales – England’s Colony?, rather than the two part TV series that will screen on BBC2 Wales tomorrow night (Monday) at 9pm. Although I would presumes of course that the argument put forth by Professor of History at Swansea University, Martin Johnes, will be the same in both book and series, so it may well be a kind of a review of both. It’s something of a feature of books about Welsh history, that they have a lot of questions marks in their titles. We’ve...

    John Cornyn is 74 years old running for another six year term. That means he'll be 80 years old at the end of his next term. 80! Has been in the US Senate for 24 years and wants 30. It also means it will likely be his LAST term. And once free of the people's comeuppance, he'll just do what he wants and be a Democrat handmaiden (which he is already). Cornyn will also vote for John Thune again for Leader. Most importantly, if he's defeated today, Cornyn will be gone from the Senate Judiciary committee (along with Thom Tillis)....
