  • "The only good cr*cker is a dead cr*cker": Things seem to be going well outside the trial for the murder of Austin Metcalf

    I am told that these people can't be racist because they aren't white. Black man 1: 'The only good cracker is a dead cracker! The only good cracker is a dead cracker!' Black woman 1: 'That's right.' Black man 1: 'The only good cracker is a dead cracker!' Black woman 2: 'Right on!' Black man 2: 'Cracker!' Black man 1: 'The only good cracker is a dead cracker!' Yep, for years now, I have been told by our higher institutions that it is impossible for someone to be racist unless they have light skin pigmentation in their skin. I'm not...

    Tough times for ‘Randy Andy’. We have been reporting on how Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is under investigation for Misconduct in Public Office and now also for sex offenses; on how he was arrested and exiled to a property away from the Royal Family; and how he was reportedly targeted by an armed man. And now, a mystery is hounding the British press, as the disgraced former prince has been photographed with a large bruise across his face. 🚨 PICTURED: Former Prince Andrew with a large bruise on his face earlier today pic.twitter.com/ycidUrKcL1 — Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) June 4, 2026 Disgraced ex-Prince...

    American Thinker ^ | 5 Jun, 2026 | Bradley Steffens
    What was once controversial (when Rush Limbaugh said it) is now mainstream. On April 20 of this year, onetime liberal firebrand Alan Dershowitz announced in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that he was officially leaving the Democrat party and registering as a Republican. Discussing his decision the next day with Newmax’s Greg Kelly, Dershowitz stated, “I cannot be associated with the Democrats in any way. I want to see them defeated.” A longtime listener of the late, great Rush Limbaugh, I had to smile. For thirty years, Limbaugh had said the same thing, and been vilified for it. The “reach...

    Eric Peters Autos ^ | June 05, 2026 | Eric Peters
    Well, that headline isn’t exactly right. Stellantis – the parent company of Chrysler (as well as the Dodge, Jeep an Ram truck brands) – just killed Chrysler. As you probably already know, Chrysler has been dying for the past three years. The brand is down to just one model – the Pacifica minivan – because Stellantis decided to cancel the 300 sedan that arguably was the Chrysler brand for many years. It went away at the end of the 2023 model year – which was when Stellantis pulled the plug (so to speak) on the Dodge Charger sedan, which was...
  • Jeffries declines to back Wasserman Schultz as Black leaders revolt over district switch

    Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is facing mounting backlash from some Black leaders over her decision to seek re-election in a majority-minority district, a move that appears to be costing her support from the highest-ranking Black Democrat in Congress. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., declined to endorse Wasserman Schultz's re-election bid Tuesday after she entered the race for the plurality-Black district, where she faces four Black opponents in the Aug. 18 primary. "Haven't made a decision, as it relates to that particular race," the lead Democrat said at a news conference when asked if he supports Wasserman Schultz’s run...

    Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman ramped up criticism of embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner on Wednesday, calling out the Maine progressive over his history of inflammatory remarks while challenging him to release messages linked to a Kik account that has become a flashpoint in his campaign. “This is a guy that had a problem with me, how I dress, but he seemed to have no problem posing in a towel at a disgusting website that consistently had serious problems about that kinds of depravity,” Fetterman told Fox News host Sean Hannity. The Democrat later challenged Platner to make public messages he...

    Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-Mich.) Lebanon war powers resolution was shut down Thursday, with the majority of House Democrats rejecting the “Squad” rep’s effort. In the floor vote, 117 Democrats voted against her resolution, and 91 voted in favor, resulting in a 92-324 defeat of Tlaib’s attempt to limit potential Trump administration military options in Lebanon. Tlaib insisted Israel was carrying out an “ethnic cleansing campaign,” and Congress must intervene to stop the “war crime.” “The Trump administration is helping in greenlighting these attacks,” she said, as Israel seeks to root out the Hezbollah terror threat in Lebanon as a second...

    James Handy, an actor with appearances in “Jumanji,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Taps” was brutally murdered by his girlfriend’s son, police said. Authorities raced to the 19200 block of Erwin Street in Tarzana Wednesday morning after a caller stated “I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin.” When they arrived, cops discovered 81-year-old Handy unconscious in the front yard of a home, suffering from stab wounds, police said. Handy was stabbed multiple times in the chest. Handy was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. A short time later, the suspect, 44-year-old...

    New York times ^ | 4th June 2026 | John McWhorter
    You might think that early Americans sounded like Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, and that the American accent developed after independence. It was probably the other way around. Up until the early 1800s, you couldn’t tell whether a person was British or American from their accents. When naval officers tried to free sailors who had been shanghaied into service in the War of 1812, they said they couldn’t tell for sure who was American or British by the way they spoke. The hallmark of the British accent — pronouncing words like “path” and “fast” as “pahth” and “fahst” or “fah”...

    Less than two years after the "Champagne Problems" singer's estimated net worth was revealed to be $1.6 billion, Taylor's net worth jumped once again to a whopping $2 billion, according to Forbes. Per the business magazine's "Iconoclast 50" list, published June 3, the Grammy winner's net worth doubled since she first became a billionaire in 2023, due to her record-breaking Eras Tour...and the sales of multiple re-recorded albums. In addition, Taylor, 36, has also released two new albums...And not only that: she bought back the rights to her first six albums last year. The "Opalite" singer's financial value is made...

    A slice of NWA 12774.The green circle is an olivine crystal, a magnesium-rich mineral. (Credit: John Kashuba) In A Nutshell A meteorite recovered from the Sahara contains crystals that could only have formed deep inside a large, now-destroyed ancient planet, giving scientists their first direct physical evidence of its enormous size. Using a newly developed pressure-measuring tool, researchers calculated the parent body was at least 1,000 kilometers in radius, far larger than any asteroid previously linked to this class of meteorite. Textural clues in the crystals suggest the planet may have been Moon-sized or even larger, though that conclusion depends...

    The Supreme Court handed down a decisive win for federal enforcement on June 4, 2026, ruling 8-1 against AT&T and Verizon in a fight over how the FCC collects penalties. Two of the biggest telecom companies in the country tried to shut down the FCC’s forfeiture process on Seventh Amendment grounds. They lost almost across the board. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion of the Court. Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissent. The consolidated cases were FCC v. AT&T, No. 25-406, and Verizon Communications v. FCC, No. 25-567. The first outside read was simple: the Court rejected the...

    The Brett Howden shoe is in full swing here. Seconds after Carolina kills a penalty and gets the crowd going, Howden comes in and scores a gorgeous goal, not only beating all-world defenseman Jaccob Slavin to the net, but using his body to shield off his check and then beating Freddy Andersen with a slick move. That's now 13 goals for Howden - yes, you read that right. The guy is on fire. Vegas now has two goals on six shots. Carolina needs a spark here. They look a step behind Vegas.
