  • U.S. Bases in Israel Will Deter the Next October 7

    Times of Israel ^ | Mar 2026 | Jose Lev Alvarez Gomez
    The State of Israel has proposed that the United States plant permanent military bases on its territory. Jerusalem wants Washington to relocate existing installations from elsewhere in the Middle East... Establishing those bases, especially in southern Israel along the Gaza border, could potentially deliver the ironclad deterrence that has already raised the cost of mass attacks... Critics call it entanglement. The facts say otherwise. October 7 proved that distance breeds weakness. Iran’s war exposed scattered Gulf bases as sitting ducks. Southern Israel offers proximity, partnership, and punch. The United States already has a military footprint in Israel, and CENTCOM personnel...

    The Spectator ^ | 06/01/2026 | Maximillian Garely
    As tensions with Iran once again push the US toward the possibility of further involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts, a novel brand of anti-interventionism has swept American politics. After two decades of costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, both the populist right and progressive left have grown more willing to question the assumptions underpinning American military engagement abroad. Politicians as ideologically diverse as Thomas Massie and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now openly criticize interventionist foreign policy, while public fatigue with the post-9/11 wars has become increasingly visible across the political spectrum. Yet even as Americans tire of foreign interventions, cuts to the...

    Last week, after Google announced its huge overhaul to Search , I overheard a woman on the phone saying she was switching to DuckDuckGo because you can “opt out of using AI.” “Google just isn’t Google anymore,” she said. It seems that others had the same idea. At I/O, Google’s annual developer conference, the company said it would transform its search box into a conversational engine that expands for longer queries, anticipates user intent, and autocompletes searches. Rather than just returning a list of links, it will use AI Overviews to answer questions directly first. Google also unveiled a more...

In addition to the Nazi tattoo, the vile Reddit comments, and now a sexting scandal, the ladies of The View are turning on him. How bad of a Democrat candidate do you have to be to lose the support of the hosts of The View? These people will defend a Democrat for anything, but even they are backing away now. Did a memo go out on the left that it’s time to dump this guy? How else can this be explained? This is what...
  • Trans Fat From Cheese, Butter May Not Raise Heart Disease Risk

    Study Finds ^ | June 01, 2026 | Ian Givens (University of Reading)
    In A Nutshell A major review found no link between naturally occurring dairy trans fats and higher risk of heart disease or type 2 diabetes. Unlike artificial trans fats in processed foods, dairy trans fats appear to behave differently in the body. Some studies found that people with higher blood levels of a dairy-specific trans fat were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, though the evidence is not conclusive. Several of the study’s authors have ties to the dairy industry, a conflict of interest the researchers disclosed and that independent replication would help address. ============================================================================ For decades, “trans fat”...

    This video from The Kerri Lane Show reports on the surprising mayoral race in Los Angeles, where former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is emerging as a top contender against incumbent Karen Bass. The discussion centers on voter frustration regarding crime, homelessness, and city management, which has led many to support an outsider candidate. Key Takeaways: Poll Numbers: A recent California Post poll shows Spencer Pratt leading with 30.1%, followed closely by Karen Bass at 29.5% (2:09 - 2:42). Voter Sentiment: Residents are increasingly prioritizing local quality-of-life issues—like safety and neighborhood conditions—over traditional party politics (3:31 - 3:45). Hollywood Backing:...

    A well-stocked anti-ICE coalition tent outside New Jersey’s embattled Delaney Hall immigration detention center was raided by federal authorities Monday — exposing what activists were keeping inside as mayhem continues to plague the area. Eye-catching photos revealed cases of Spindrift seltzers, puzzles and games, plush toys, books, keffiyeh scarves and assorted signs stuffed into boxes or scattered around the Eyes of ICE mutual aid tent outside the Newark detention center. Planters with wilting flowers were abandoned on foldable tables. Other boxes were overflowing with handwarmers and blankets, while some unused posters reflected Catholic imagery and references to the Virgin Mary....

    The View cohosts have reacted to former panelist Rosie O'Donnell's headline-making facelift — and the actress' comments about feminism as it relates to cosmetic procedures. Days after the entertainer and ex-View moderator revealed that she underwent a facelift procedure, the talk show's current panel broke down the development, with some expressing shock over O'Donnell making a connection between feminism and plastic surgery. "My friend Rosie O'Donnell is sharing how she was racked with guilt over her decision to get a facelift," Joy Behar said at the top of Friday's show. "She says she just wanted to look more rested and...

    Someone complained that either a graduate student or a professor used biologically correct language when referring to women, according to a bias report obtained by The College Fix. Among the more than 100 Bias Response and Referral Network reports filed between July 2024 and March 2026, were three that addressed the same controversy. A graduate student reported someone for complaining about “having to change grant proposal language from ‘mothers’ to ‘lactating individuals,’” according to the October 2025 report. The spreadsheet only labels the alleged offender as a “respondent.” The Fix obtained a spreadsheet of bias reports via a public records...
