A thong-wearing, 79-year-old Florida man was arrested for allegedly “consistently” exposing himself and making lewd gestures around his apartment complex — and argued to police that it was his “right to walk around naked.” Tyrone James Causey was charged with five counts of indecent exposure at his Hollywood, Fla., apartment on May 22 after neighbors called police, saying they were “increasingly concerned and frustrated with his continued behavior,” Local 10 News reported. Causey wasted no time showing police what neighbors were talking about — answering the door wearing nothing but a “G-string thong” and claiming he had “a right to...

The numbers don’t lie. Democrats are staring down the barrel of another midterm cycle where their secular base simply isn’t big enough to win in the places that matter. So they’ve decided to stop pretending and start poaching. Not with policy changes or soul-searching. With collars. With Bibles. With men and women who once stood in pulpits now running for Congress and statewide office as proud Democrats. Progressive faith networks like Vote Common Good are tracking roughly 30 white Christian clergy (mostly from mainline Protestant denominations) seeking Democrat nominations this cycle. That’s no coincidence. It’s a deliberate surge aimed straight...

Judge Nicholas Rowland told the boys: 'None of you need to go to prison today.' He said the boys are 'very young', had low intelligence, a 'limited understanding of consent' and were susceptible to 'peer pressure'. The judge also praised the boys for their conduct during the trial, saying 'I think of you as very young and none of you have been in any big trouble before. 'You have all done very well with the restrictions put in place throughout the trial. (The second boy) and (the third boy) your problems are quite bad.'

Artificial intelligence revolution is meant to bring unprecedented efficiency and boundless productivity for the tech landscape by cutting the costs. But the promise of revolution is currently hitting a stark fiscal reality marked by unexpected AI-related costs, leading to the burning of budget tech companies designed for 2026 year. Of all the companies, Uber and Microsoft are grappling with AI budget overruns. For instance, Microsoft recently has decided to rescind its internal Claude code license along with its Experiences and Devices division ending access by June 30, 2026. The decision to cancel the pilot has been taken only after 6...

Texas redistricting claimed a longtime Democratic incumbent Tuesday, as Rep. Christian Menefee defeated Rep. Al Green in a Houston-area runoff that forced two sitting House Democrats into the same race. Rep. Al Green, one of Congress’ most vocal Trump antagonists, lost his Democratic runoff Tuesday to fellow Texas Rep. Christian Menefee after redistricting scrambled Houston-area congressional lines. Green has been among President Donald Trump's fiercest critics in Congress, pursuing impeachment charges on multiple occasions against him during both of Trump's terms. Green has been kicked out of Trump's State of the Union addresses multiple times as well for standing up...

Take a look at why Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won their elections, and then look at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. undit Bill O’Reilly recently said he was “surprised” that ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lost to Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. “I thought,” he told Cuomo during a May 14 discussion, “you were going to wax them [your competitors].” Do you know when I realized Mamdani would win? The very first time I saw him on TV. No, it wasn’t that Mamdani was promising to rob Peter blind to pay Paul and then...

Sometimes data or information that seems completely disconnected can tell a story when taken together. I experienced that recently. Over the course of a few days I saw a number of posts on X that caught my attention. First was a post stating that “Whites make up only 8% of the world’s population… so in fact, we are the minority.” That 8% is down from a peak of approximately 25% in the 19th century. Next I saw a post that featured a map of the world and showed the average IQ of the citizens. Hong Kong had the highest, with...

WASHINGTON — A sex therapist who vowed to force “American Zionists” into federal immigration detention centers — where many, who she claimed are also “pedophiles,” would be castrated — was soundly defeated in a Texas Democratic primary on Tuesday. Maureen Galindo, whose “insane, antisemitic views” were denounced by members of her own party, lost to opponent Johnny Garcia in the Lone Star State’s 35th Congressional District runoff, 59.5% to 40.5% when the Associated Press called the race at about 10:40 p.m. EST. Either Republican state Rep. John Lujan or Air Force veteran Carlos De La Cruz will face off with...

Iran will play all three of its Group G matches on American soil yet base its operations across the border in Mexico... Mehdi Taj, head of the Iranian Football Federation, announced Saturday that the team's training base would relocate from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana, a border city in Baja California. He cited visa complications and security concerns stemming from the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran that began on February 28. "We will be based in the Tijuana camp, which is near the Pacific Ocean and on the border between Mexico and the United States," Taj said in a video posted...

Project management software company ClickUp laid off 22% of its workforce, replacing hundreds of employees with roughly 3,000 internal AI agents in what CEO Zeb Evans called “a full embrace of AI-driven productivity.” Evans announced the cuts on X, framing them not as a cost-cutting measure but as a structural transformation. Remaining employees now direct AI agents to handle complex tasks and review their output rather than performing the work themselves. Evans described his goal as turning ClickUp into a “100x org.”The company, last valued at $4 billion in 2021, recently deployed the 3,000 AI agents across internal operations. Evans...

Dr. John Gordon, a reproductive endocrinologist, has been a man of faith for years. When he began to have doubts, they were not about his God, but his life’s work... As co-director of a fertility clinic in suburban Washington, D.C., Gordon grew troubled over helping create surplus embryos, which would often languish in storage or be discarded. With the expansion of genetic testing, couples could choose the sex of their baby. They could screen out painful or fatal diseases, but also milder impairments like hearing loss. “It’s too morally problematic,” Gordon thought. “I don’t know where you draw the line.”...

Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon didn't completely back down from her assertion a small player can't lead his team to the NBA championship now that Jalen Brunson has taken the New York Knicks to the NBA Finals. Hammon made her initial comments on ESPN in December 2023, saying the Knicks couldn't win the championship if the 6-foot-2 Brunson was their best player. "If your best player is small, you're not winning," Hammon said at the time. Those comments have generated some buzz after Brunson received the Larry Bird Trophy for MVP of the Eastern Conference finals after the Knicks...

A cold war has broken out between Silicon Valley and the Vatican, as they accuse one another of jeopardizing humanity’s future. In a Monday encyclical letter, Pope Leo XIV warned mankind is facing the “risk of being misled by deceitful goals” in the age of AI and called on regulators to stand up to its creators. The 42,000 word manifesto comes after Peter Thiel has repeatedly argued in a global speaking tour — including in Rome, right outside Vatican City — that a powerful figure trying to stymy technological progress will turn out to be the antichrist predicted by the...

The city’s s worst “super speeders” will be forced to install speed-limiting devices on their cars, under a new state law passed Tuesday. The measure, approved as part of the state’s budget, will require drivers with 16 or more speed camera violations in a year to install a speed-limiting device that uses GPS technology to keep drivers from going faster than posted speed limits. The new law is set to take effect about one year from the date Gov. Kathy Hochul signs the budget — and will apply only to violations that occur after that. “New York is putting these...
