@LoneStar_PAC John Cornyn compared January 6 to 9/11, and called attendees "white supremacists, domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, rioters, seditionists, anarchists." He then asked then-FBI Director Chris Wray if a new law was needed to charge attendees with "domestic terrorism."

From the beaches of Galápagos to the forests of Cameroon. In the Congo Basin, two groups of wild western lowland gorillas encounter photographer Hugo Hebbe. One group is familiar with humans, reacting with indifference to the attention. The other remains cautious, scamping off when humans approach. The images captured during the encounter (seen below) document “an evolving story of fear, patience and trust,” the photographer explains. The images, part of a series called “Guardians of the Jungle,” were honored at the 2026 Sony World Photography Awards, Professional division.

The traditional understanding is that the center of our galaxy is dominated by a supermassive black hole...Instead of a black hole, there could be...a colossal clump of dark matter, the substance thought to account for 85 percent of all mass in the cosmos.

President Donald Trump is just incredibly lucky. He kept rolling the dice on the economy and somehow the doom-sayers keep losing. All the experts said his tariffs would drastically increase inflation; instead it went down. Democrats projected at the end of 2024 that "Mass Deportations Would Deliver a Catastrophic Blow to the U.S. Economy." It has not.This luck just has to stop at some point. Such is the weird attitude of Politico's economics correspondent, Victoria Guida. She thinks that the economic success of the Trump administration is based just on the sheer luck of making the correct gambles as reflected...

Americans who belong to Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) are far more likely to say they were lonely growing up. A majority (56 percent) of Gen Zers report they felt lonely at least once or twice a month during their childhood. In contrast, only about one in four (24 percent) Baby Boomers say they felt lonely this often as children. ... Americans who had a lonely childhood are much more likely to report feeling lonely or isolated as adults. Two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans who felt lonely every day during childhood say that today they feel lonely or...

The new interim staff report on Minnesota’s fraud describes criminal activity that was enabled by a horrifying pattern of spineless government incompetence and systemic failure. Some say Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. Best guess? Government, both state and federal, is rife with it. According to the March 4, 2026 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,” there was a massive failure in “governance and oversight” that allowed “known fraud and criminal schemes to flourish,” even as resources were diverted away from...

A new study by “progressive” think tank Groundwork Collaborative shows that junk fees and annoyance costs add up to $166 billion per year; here’s a rough breakdown, from USA Today: Here’s how much the ‘annoyance economy’ costs consumers[snip] Junk fees: $90 billion a year Phone scams: $25.4 billion Calls with health insurance administrators: $21.6 billion Waiting for medical services: $19.4 billion Robocalls: $8 billion Waiting for government services: $1.6 billion I get ticked off at this stuff too, but this is a junk report. Some of these things are just made up numbers, such as calls with health insurance administrators,...

merica is alone among the nations in having a Second Amendment. The Founders were among the wisest men—informed by wise women—of any age. They well understood human nature, particularly its dark side, and understood that a disarmed people are not free--can never be free—but are subjects. The Second Amendment was not written to allow sport shooting, target practice, hunting, even primarily protection from criminals. It was written to ensure that should government become tyrannical, Americans could rise against it and restore liberty. Democrats scream bloody murder when anyone speaks that fundamental truth, yet it was one of history’s most famous...

The unidentified teacher was suspended with pay after making the comment on February 24 as outraged parents fumed to the Merrillville School Board. 'This is what he thinks about our kids,' one parent said at the Tuesday board meeting. 'I'm not getting over this... now we see this coming from the president also.' Parents in the school district angrily voiced their complaints at the board meeting, as the Gary branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has launched an investigation, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Far-left “Squad” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) were among dozens of House Democrats this week that voted against reaffirming Iran as the “largest state sponsor of terrorism.” The resolution, introduced by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), passed in a 372-53 vote Thursday, with only Democrats opposing the nonbinding measure – which also declared that Iran “provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.” Lefty Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Summer Lee (D-Pa.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Al Green (D-Texas), along with New York’s Yvette Clarke and Nydia Velázquez, were among...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed his wife Rama Duwaji isn’t a public figure Friday – despite receiving fawning media coverage – after facing uproar for her liking social media posts celebrating Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack. The democratic socialist, 34, was confronted during an unrelated event about his 28-year-old artist spouse liking Instagram posts that shared graphic imagery of the terror group’s murderous rampage — in the hours after the attack — and trumpeted anti-Israel rhetoric, Jewish Insider reported. “My wife is the love of my life, and she’s also a private person who has held no formal position on my...

Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is “a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader. Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence. “If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,” Biden said. “But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place...

🚨🚨BREAKING!!! Busloads of Somali citizens being deported back to their dirt lots and their home countries specifically from the state of Minnesota. Some reports of over 2000 already have been deported with estimates upward of 5000 to be deported before April. Somali citizens who come to America tend to forget where they came from. A lot of Americans feel that Somalis Do not appreciate this country and actively work to hurt it. This perception would become visible after YouTuber turned actual journalist, Nick Shirley discovered massive taxpayer fraud being conducted by the Somali community out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Most Americans...

The BBC "mistakenly" altered a speech by Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth on the war in Iran, making him appear to say the United States was targeting the Iranian "people". This comes only a handful of months since they did the same to President Trump. Defund the BBC!

😲... Interior Secretary Doug Bergum standing next to Venezuela interim President Delcy Rodriquez, as the govt thanks President Donald Trump.... who just forcibly snatched Nicholas Maduro. Um, that's a level of ultimate boss beyond what I ever thought possible. 😀 Wow. Just Wow.

@WesleyHuntTX This is an extraordinarily admirable offer to help solve a serious problem in Texas, and it reflects the kind of service and sacrifice our great state needs. General Paxton wants what we all want, secure elections and a republic that endures. If a deal can be reached that delivers for the American people, then our country wins. General Paxton’s offer has the potential to secure the one thing that can save our country. May God bless Texas.

On Saturday, a fleet of boats filled the waterways of Clearwater, Florida, in an effort to rally for President Donald Trump and break a Guinness World Record. The crowds were attempting to break the world record for the largest boat parade, which is currently held by a 2014 boat parade in Malaysia. Officials are still reviewing the footage from the event to determine if it breaks the current record. The boat parades have quickly become a popular way to rally. Nicknamed 'Trumptillas,' supporters have gathered boats, jet skis, kayaks, and canoes in cities like Delaware, Alabama, and New Jersey.
