mericans are finally learning that, six years ago, Toronto baptized an urban park with a painfully long, awkward name in the Huron-Wendat language. (snip) If you look at what the AWFL person behind the Canadian rename had to say, you’ll understand that leftists aren’t just being silly; they have a goal.(snip) It seems that in 2018, Toronto built a nice urban park, which it intended to call “Woodsy Park,” (snip) However, because this is Canada, which has now decided to lose the war it fought and won against the indigenous people many centuries ago, the chosen park name was considered...

Krystal and Saagar discuss secret code words used in the Epstein files.

A vicious, high-stakes divorce is unfolding in three states between private equity honcho and Jeffrey Epstein acquaintance Jeffrey Leeds, and his much younger wife Elizabeth, with bitter accusations flying about paramours, sex toys and misspent millions. At stake is $100 million in real estate alone — a $22 million, 14-room pad at famed 740 Park Ave. on the Upper East Side; a $23.5 million, 11-bed, 12.5-bath spread in Southampton; and a $35.6 million manse in Palm Beach, records show. Elizabeth Leeds, 43, is accused by her 69-year-old husband of having a long affair with, and being impregnated by, Miami businessman...

Manhattan’s luxury housing market is quietly edging back toward its mid-2010s swagger after a decade marked by excess, collapse and recovery. And this time, the rebound appears to be powered by real money, not just empty supply. New data shows the borough’s priciest homes are nearly back to their 2016 highs, a milestone last seen during the condo boom that reshaped Manhattan’s skyline. By the end of last year, the median price for a luxury home — defined as the top 10% of the market — hit $6.39 million, according to a new report from Douglas Elliman. Manhattan’s luxury housing...

The California Department of Public Health is urging people to avoid mushroom foraging altogether this year because death cap mushrooms are easily confused with safe, edible varieties. Since Nov. 18 there have been more than three dozen cases of death cap poisonings reported, including the four deaths and three liver transplants, according to the health department. Many who sought medical attention suffered from rapidly evolving acute liver injury and liver failure. Several patients required admission to an intensive care unit. They have ranged in age from 19 months to 67 years old. The death cap is one of the most...

JD Vance BOOED at 2026 Milan Olympics Opening Ceremony

‘I just sent a letter to Mitch McConnell asking his committee to stop stalling the SAVE Act,’ Rep. Brandon Gill said. Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing? As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity. “Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top...

American Freestyle Skiers Admit They Have 'Mixed Emotions' About Representing U.S. at Olympics amid ICE Raids

A prediction market company best known for allowing users to bet on world events is stepping into New York City’s food scene — if only briefly — with the launch of what it’s calling the city’s first-ever free grocery store. Polymarket will be open for New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan starting at 12PM from Feb. 12 through Feb. 16, according to the NYC for Free website. It’s being described as the city’s first free grocery store, "fully stocked" and requiring no purchase. Polymarket posted on X, Tuesday, that the idea took "months of planning." In addition to paying for the...

In recent days, the news feed has been flooded with all kinds of headlines like “Starlink was shut down in Iran,” “The regime learned how to jam satellite internet,” “Starlink is broken,” and other similar nonsense. Naturally, many journalists and media outlets were happy to exploit clickbait headlines. As a result, many people perceived this narrative as an actually documented fact. Understandably… when such claims are published by well-known media, they surely cannot be false, right?Is Starlink even available in Iran at all?To begin with, a small historical excursus is needed, one that is absolutely essential for understanding the background...

Iran has supplied millions of rounds of ammunition and shells, according to estimates, which is not the full extent of what Moscow has purchased from Tehran. Tehran has also supplied Shahed-136 kamikaze drones and joint technology that has enabled Russia to produce them domestically under the name Geran-2 as part of a $1.75 billion contract signed in early 2023.... In total, Russia has spent more than the equivalent of $4 billion on Iranian military equipment and weapons since the end of 2021, according to the estimate... Russia is not among Iran’s largest trading partners. China tops the list, with trade...

Since the start of the Trump administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota, federal prosecutors have reportedly charged 158 anti-ICE agitators with federal crimes, including “FACE Act violations, conspiracy charges, and obstruction of federal agents.” Some of the offenses carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that she “expect more arrests to come” as the Justice Department is poised to crack down on similar anti-ICE insurgencies nationwide. Those arrested in Minnesota include nine agitators who disrupted a church service (including Don Lemon, and a number of “ICE Watch” insurgents who “blocked, assaulted,...

Having said that, the claim is going viral on the left, so you need to have your facts lined up to challenge your TDS-suffering friends and acquaintances. esterday, Donald Trump posted an interesting video on his social media about voting machine election fraud in 2020. This is obviously a topic dear to his heart. Moreover, as the investigations in Fulton County, Georgia, demonstrate, it’s still a very hot and important topic (making it all the more bizarre that Senate Republicans will not push the SAVE Act, which aligns with the bipartisan public desire for election integrity). That Trump would post...

@LibertyCappy No one fights for freedom and the constitution better than Thomas Massie

It’s imperative that the people support the President as he faithfully enforces the laws of the United States. We occasionally encounter the notion that America is an experiment, carried out under controlled conditions, in democratic governance. The control for experiments in our democracy is the Constitution and subordinate laws. George Washington advised in his Farewell Address “the Constitution… is sacredly obligatory upon all. The right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.” When Joe Biden took office he refused to enforce U.S. immigration law, allowing millions to enter the country...

As of recent data (reflecting 2024-2025 estimates):Proven global crude oil reserves are around 1.77 trillion barrels (or approximately 1,765 billion barrels). At current consumption levels (roughly equivalent to recent production of about 100-103 million barrels per day), this equates to about 47 years of reserves left. This figure comes from sources like Worldometer, which bases it on 2025 reserve data and 2024 consumption levels.

Amazon told shareholders Thursday that it made nearly $78 billion in net income during 2025 — while workers at its subsidiary Whole Foods Market say they struggle to afford basic necessities due to unlivable working wages. Amazon acquired Whole Foods in 2017 and now employs over 100,000 workers nationwide offering a starting wage of $17 an hour. Philadelphia Whole Foods workers organized a union in January 2025 and its members claim their employer’s parent company —founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos — has violated labor law, illegally retaliated against workers and rejected and delayed bargaining with the union for better wage...
