Carolyn Marvin was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after blocking the path of an Uber delivery robot and refusing to get out of the way. Marvin told Philadelphia’s ABC13 “I know they’re taking the jobs of human delivery workers and so, I have been protesting them whenever I saw them by standing in front of them and preventing them from going forward.” Police responded to the scene and asked Marvin to move out of the robot’s way. When she refused, they placed her in cuffs and arrested her. The incident was captured on video and has now garnered considerable...

New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America. We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America! The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag! Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Explanation: Explanation : What is Treble Clef? This unusual radio structure extends over 2 million light-years and resembles a common musical symbol -- but has its visible light hidden by our own Milky Way Galaxy. Examined in 2004, the nature of VLSS J0318.9+5755, dubbed Treble Clef, remained unknown. Recent observations by the Chandra X-ray Observatory and eROSITA, however, have led to the hypothesis that the Treble Clef central cloud of charged particles was originally expelled by a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. After the radio emission from those particles faded, they may have been reinvigorated by...

On Oct. 18, 1963, a cat went to space! Félicette was a French "catstronaut" who became the first and only feline to fly to space. Here's why it mattered. On Oct. 18, 1963, a cat went to space! Félicette was a French "catstronaut" who became the first and only feline to fly to space. While the U.S. and Soviet Union were busy launching primates, dogs and humans, the French decided to join the space race by launching a cat. Félicette, a stray tuxedo cat from the streets of Paris, was a substitute for another cat named Felix, who somehow escaped...

Washington’s beautiful Reflecting Pool, which was badly damaged by Vandals despite the ridiculous writings of some Radical Left person in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office who got it wrong and obviously didn’t investigate, witness, or see the attached tape, or the very inspiring Jesse Watters show which explained it all, or didn’t inspect the vast area of cut and slashed pool surface, or the grass that was scarred by poison with the numbers “86 47” massively inscribed in font 90 feet tall and encompassing the width of the entire Park (which grass has been fully replaced with new grass), is...

The Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the constitutionality of an 1868 federal law that imposes a tax on distilled spirits but also bans home distilleries – that is, the at-home production of spirits like bourbon and whiskey. The penalties for violating the law include fines of up to $10,000, five years in prison, or both. In a list of orders from the justices’ Oct. 16 conference, the court announced that it had granted review in Department of Justice v. McNutt. The justices will likely hear oral argument in the case early next year, with a decision to...

A “secret pay-for-play” text promising paid access to President Donald Trump is at the center of the latest civil war plaguing the White House, according to a new report from Axios. The Monday report cited a text message received by Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon on May 3, 2025. In the text, the sender claimed that Mildon would be part of “VIP events” and that he would “get close with the administration, even with POTUS,” once he sent money that would be transferred to the Kennedy Center. Mildon claimed the texts were sent by Ric Grenell, a special presidential envoy who...

A sightseer slipped and fell to her death off a 65-foot waterfall in Indonesia while being filmed by horrified friends. Windy Rahma Putri, 25, was bathing in waters above Robo Waterfall in Harau, a protected nature preserve in West Sumatra, on Thursday afternoon when she was swept away by swift currents and plunged dozens of feet down the steep drop, officials said. Putri’s friends were filming her as she was lying on her back on a rock when she lost her grip — showing her desperately trying in vain to grab onto a friend as she slipped and fell off...

A recent report from CNN on the voter sentiment among Jewish Democrats in New York painted a stark picture for Democrats in the Empire State. It noted that in 2018 a generic poll of just New York Jews found they favored Democrats by an unsurprising 40 points. Nevertheless, the same type of survey conducted in 2026 found Jews in New York favoring Democrats by 13 points representing a 27-point fall of support for Democrats. Currently, a group of New York State Rabbis is traveling the state to essentially campaign against Democrats. In Michigan Jews for Republican Mike Rogers groups, something...

You know those weird brown corndog-lookin’ things growing in ditches, ponds, and marshes all over America? The ones you’ve probably driven past a million times without giving them a second thought? Those are called cattails, and apparently, we’ve been ignoring one of nature’s most interesting food sources while spending billions of dollars growing, harvesting, and processing the foods we actually eat. Yes, I went down another rabbit hole, and found something that blew my mind… ready for this one: An acre of cattails has the potential to produce around 6,400 pounds of flour. By comparison, an acre of American wheat...

Vinted says it has removed listings of items believed to have been looted from shops during the ongoing riots in France. The second hand re-selling platform said following the weekend's disorder it had "taken immediate action to identify and remove listings linked to looting". Shops across several French cities were broken into and ransacked during the outbreak of riots over the weekend. "The sale of stolen goods, or soliciting them, is strictly prohibited on Vinted, and we have zero tolerance for it," a spokesperson for the company said. Widespread looting was reported across Paris, Marseille and Lille, as well as...

You can't make it up. No one would have ever associated Halloween body bags with racist lynchings before the current woke stupidity of our current time. You can buy these "corpse kits" at Lowe's, for crying out loud. And yet in Pennsylvania of all places, a local NAACP chapter is getting involved because one guy who loves Halloween too much has decorations that trigger them. From FOX 29: The homeowner told FOX 29 that the decorations are only intended as Halloween displays and there was 'no other agenda' when putting them up. The homeowner also said they are 'sorry if...

The shelves are absolutely ransacked. Glass jars and other items have been ripped off all the shelves and smashed on the ground. Yet the looters didn't steal (or even touch!) the ham, bacon, or other delicious pork options in the refrigerators. The looters also avoided the toilet paper and tissues on the other side of the store. The truly eagle-eyed might have also noticed that a good portion of the wine was left on the shelves. The media tells me that these riots are being carried out by "French students" who want "better schools" and that the riots are "mostly...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump faced heavy criticism on Friday for replacing White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia with Jessica Rabbit. Critics pointed to her prior work as a lounge singer and the fact that she wasn't technically human as two major red flags. "It's obvious that Trump just wanted a pretty face behind the podium, but a lounge singer? How's she going to convey the president's agenda?" questioned MS NOW personality Rachel Maddow. "Press secretary used to be a prestigious role. Who would have thought the position once held by Karine Jean Pierre could sink so low?"...

This book is an absolutely delightful read. It is at once wonderfully entertaining and incredibly informative about the life of one of America's founding personalities. Few men contributed as much to the success of the American Revolution as Lafayette, and yet we scarcely remember him at all. Author Nikos Vlachos brings Lafayette to vibrant, compelling life in an extremely relatable, enjoyable way. The book is at the same time a very well-written micro-biography of this important historical figure. Nobleman, general, revolutionary, hero, leader, patriot, thinker, idealist, Freemason, husband, father and man; all of these titles apply to Lafayette, and each...

Here’s what you can do to help us win; it’s easy effective, fun and costs almost nothing.

Here’s how it works: Get a few friends – the more the better – and take over the busiest intersections in the district. Come with handwritten signs on oak tag or corrugated styrene sheets you can buy at a Dollar store. Using red or black markers, spell out brief messages...
