    Liberal lion Bruce Springsteen led the lineup at the Minneapolis-St. Paul branch of the No Kings rallies taking place in cities across America on Saturday. The events were set up to express left-wing opposition to various Trump administration policies, including the ICE raids and the Iran War. Minneapolis was a nexus of anti-ICE demonstrations at the start of this year, with outrage against the government intensifying after two protestors - Alex Pretti and Renee Good - were killed in encounters with federal law enforcement. Springsteen, a longtime Democrat who opened Joe Biden's inauguration special and has been a vociferous critic...

    Country star Annie Bosko is speaking out about the criticism that she has faced after releasing her new song "Goodbye California" earlier this year. During an interview with Fox News Digital, the 40-year-old singer explained that the bittersweet country ballad has resonated with the majority of listeners but struck a nerve with others, who have tried to frame the song as political, which she insists was not her intention. "I have gotten some backlash on the song, and I'm OK with it," Bosko shared ahead of her March 5 concert at the famed West Hollywood music venue the Troubadour. "I...
  • When Families Fracture: Why Family Estrangement Is Happening Even to Normal Families

    Epoch Times via Baltimore Sun ^ | 03/28/2026 | Armstrong Williams
    Public conversation about family estrangement has intensified following comments by Oprah Winfrey discussing the growing number of adult children who choose to distance themselves from their parents. Critics have accused her of promoting what some call a modern “cut-off culture.” Supporters argue she is simply giving voice to people who feel wounded by their families. But the truth is more complicated than the debate suggests. Family estrangement is not a phenomenon limited to abusive or dysfunctional homes. It happens in families that, from the outside, appear loving, stable and responsible. It happens in homes where parents worked long hours, sacrificed...

    Archaeology Magazine ^ | March 27, 2026 | editors / unattributed
    According to a statement released by the University of Oxford, domesticated dogs were spread across Europe and Anatolia and living with hunter-gatherers by 14,000 years ago. Researchers led by Lachie Scarsbrook and Greger Larson of the University of Oxford analyzed genomes taken from dog remains recovered at Upper Paleolithic sites, including Pınarbaşı in Turkey and Gough's Cave in England, and two Mesolithic sites in Serbia. These dog genomes were then compared with the genomes of more than 1,000 ancient and modern dogs and wolves from around the world. "Not only has this discovery pushed back the earliest direct evidence of...

    NY Post ^ | 3/28/26 | Rich Calder, Gabrielle Fahmy
    Far-left “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) violated federal election and House ethics rules by misusing nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy, a bombshell new complaint claims. DC-based National Legal and Policy Center filed a joint complaint Friday with the Federal Elections Commission and the Office of Congressional Conduct, demanding both enforcement agencies probe Ocasio-Cortez, her congressional campaign committee and its treasurer, Frank Llewellyn. The government watchdog group want authorities to determine whether the money paid to Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle was fraudulently documented in official filings as “leadership training and...

    “Viva la revolución 2.0!” A CUNY Cuba conference in Midtown devolved into an anti-US hatefest, with far-left speakers deriding the “evil empire” as the “No. 1 terrorist in the world” — urging comrades to “speed up” its demise “in every way possible.” But radicals attending the Action Conference for US-Cuba Normalization on March 14, including elected officials, ex-Black Liberation Army members, and reps from the Democratic Socialists of America, spoke glowingly about the 1959 Cuban Revolution as they demanded Uncle Sam lift its embargo and remove Cuba from its State Sponsors of Terrorism list. “Washington is not strong. It is...

    Tiger Woods is paying the price for his humiliating DUI arrest in more ways than one, after going home to face his furious girlfriend Vanessa Trump after eight hours behind bars. The golf legend, 50, stunned the world when he flipped his Range Rover SUV onto its side in a high-speed crash on the millionaire's playground of Jupiter Island on Friday afternoon, clambering out of the passenger window in a daze before being arrested. He passed a breathalyzer test at the scene but refused a urine sample, with drug recognition experts 'believing he was not impaired by alcohol, but on...

Do you believe that? No? And neither does pretty much everybody else.In fact the New York Post's Page Six revealed what is likely the real reason in the Saturday headline of the story by Carlos Greer announcing Alexander's split from his network: "Peter Alexander is leaving NBC after years of being passed over for top anchor jobs: source."

    So I was searching out a school a relative attended in Tuscany in the 30s. The nuns wore a distinctive wimple. As I searched on the wimple, I discovered that according to the first website brought up, that of course wimples were brought back by the Crusaders to the benighted women of the Western culture. Muslims taught western women to use wimples. Because of course Western women were too darned stupid to cover their heads themselves, although they had been doing it for millennia. I have noticed recently that many historical reads say that Islam and Muslims have taught the...

    Florida Highway Patrol launched into high alert this week after a barrage of 911 calls from motorists who swore they’d just spotted a truck hauling a full payload of missiles down the highway. “They were definitely concerned,” FHP Sgt. Steve Gaskins told The Post of the March 22 incident. The situation escalated quickly when a trooper, already locked and loaded with a description of a blue pickup traveling along Interstate 4, spotted the vehicle. Nipper, a longtime rocket enthusiast, explained to cops he’s part of local groups that regularly gather to have fun, put on exhibitions or teach kids about...

    ST. PAUL, Minn. – A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide "No Kings" protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a "revolution," according to a Fox Digital News investigation. According to a copy of the permit for the "flagship" march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest. But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist...
