WASHINGTON — Speculation is swirling over whether Democrat darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has quietly split with her longtime beau Riley Roberts — following her public announcement this week that she was freezing her eggs to feel “more in control of my life.” The “Squad” star, 36 — who got engaged to Roberts in April 2022 — has been spotted in recent months without her engagement ring and it was noticeably absent in May when the pair was photographed together at a Manhattan burger joint. She also carefully chose her words when asked this week by a reporter about her choice...

So, this black woman moves to a 99% white only town and the black community is pissed cuz she's happy. Check this out. "Now, y'all know I've been talking about leaving the east coast, which I did, and now I'm over here on the West Coast. And I'm going to tell you what's crazy. There are hardly no black people over here. I'm in a 99% white town, white community, and it's quiet. It's clean. It's peaceful. Ain't no interruptions, disturbances, or discrepancies. Why in the hell can't we be like that in the black neighborhood?" She [black woman]...

A hobbyist searching a forest in northern Poland stumbled across an unusual sight: a bronze sword that had been standing upright in the ground for nearly 2,700 years. The remarkably well-preserved weapon was discovered by metal detectorist Marcin Wiśniewski in the Gdańsk Forest District, according to the Pomeranian Provincial Heritage Conservator. Officials say the sword dates to the Late Bronze Age, between 900 and 700 B.C. Photos released by the conservator show the ancient weapon protruding vertically from the sandy soil before archaeologists carefully removed it. Rather than excavating the find himself, Wiśniewski reported it to heritage officials, who recovered...

VIDEO AT LINK.............. The Australian Football League (AFL) is allowing a 6′-3″, 200-pound man pretending to be a woman to play in women’s competitions, despite safety concerns over his physical advantage. Anthony “Freya” Golding, who previously played in the senior men’s division, now plays for the Westminster Old Scholars in the Adelaide Footy League for women. His place on the women’s team drew scrutiny after three different clubs with the league submitted formal complaints and accused him of placing female players at risk. The clubs also said the AFL had a “duty of care” to block him from playing on...

First Responders see some horrific things, but even they were probably shocked by a call that came to the station in late July to rush to a Durham, North Carolina home. Inside, a tiny five-pound baby floated quietly in the bathroom toilet, barely alive. The team raced to do CPR on the newborn, as its 18-year-old mom — the girl who had tried to abort it — looked on. The little survivor miraculously pulled through, and the small bundle — premature at 31 weeks — is only alive today because someone in the house called 911. But for the teen...

Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson claimed Monday that Israeli figures falsely told him Hunter Biden’s laptop contained graphic images of children. Carlson, who once used the laptop story to criticize the Biden family while serving as a Fox News anchor, put to rest conspiracy theories about the laptop’s contents in a wide-ranging interview with the former president’s son – specifically the false allegations that the laptop contained abusive images of children. “Can I just say one thing though, this is what I experienced during that time – the allegation that there was abusive minors proven on the laptop – that came...

Falling fertility on the left as key driver of US birth decline

Jensen Huang built the world’s most valuable company by pioneering the specialized computer chips behind the artificial intelligence boom. To keep his vision for the future within reach, the Nvidia founder is now attempting a different kind of engineering: convincing Wall Street investors that those chips are long-term financial assets akin to commercial real estate or toll roads. His bet hinges on outpacing AI developments in China. This week, Nvidia unveiled agreements with six of the world’s largest asset managers, BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, Brookfield and Goldman Sachs. The goal was to assemble a $500 billion pipeline to finance the...

A lot of attention has been focused on the Commie Hong running in the Democrat primary for governor of Wisconsin. However, I contend that the Minnesota Democrat primary for U.S. Senator is equally, if not, MORE significant. The main contenders are a standard issue Democrat vs Flan Southside aka Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. You might remember her from earlier this year when it was alleged that she was a ringleader of the Antifa Signal Chat that directed the Minneapolis Commie crowd harassment of ICE in an attempt to keep them from performing their duty. During these harassments, 2 people died...

James Bond producer Amy Pascal has dropped a little more intel on what we can expect from the actor who will replace Daniel Craig in the iconic spy franchise. And suffice it to say, it sounds like it’s going to be all change. Since Craig handed in his licence to kill following 2021’s No Time to Die – his fifth outing as the suave MI6 operative – it has become a national pastime to debate who the next actor will be to take on the part, following in the footsteps of Sir Sean Connery, Sir Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan...

Explanation: How many moons does Saturn have? While the total will likely continue to grow, as of June 2026 the ringed gas giant had 293 confirmed moons. That's easily more than any other planet of the Solar System, including ruling gas giant Jupiter with a mere 115 confirmed moons. Most of Saturn's known moons are small, irregular satellites. Many are only few kilometers to a fraction of a kilometer across and grouped in tilted outer orbits. Six of its largest satellites can be seen here, though, in this sharp telescopic Saturnian family portrait taken on August 5. Larger than Earth's...

The bloodthirsty Islamic regime in Iran has once again shown the world exactly what Sharia justice looks like. The Islamic Republic of Iran has reportedly executed a 24-year-old woman after rejecting her claim that she acted in self-defense during an attempted sexual assault. At dawn on August 8, 2026, the mullahs hanged 24-year-old Marziyeh Neyri (also reported as Marzieh Nayyeri/Nayeri) at Qazvin Central Prison, also known as Choobindar or Chubindar Prison, according to reports from the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights and the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. She was executed for “premeditated murder” under...

A woman in Florida has lost her arm following an alligator attack that took place Saturday. A hero boater who was in the area possibly saved her life. With a group of swimmers, the woman was in the Silver River around Ocala when all of a sudden she saw an alligator heading in her direction, and in response, she used a paddle in an attempt to ward it off. The gator instead bit her right arm and pulled her underwater. Not far from the scene, John Gamache and his father were on a boat eating lunch when they could hear...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani threw his staff under the bus Tuesday after an awkward public disagreement between City Hall and NYPD officials over whether the department will send cops to serve as security detail for his wife Rama Duwaji’s upcoming Middle East trip. Mamdani appeared to blame a mistake by his City Hall staff after a high-profile back-and-forth with the police department. “There was a miscommunication. She has not yet taken that trip and when she takes that trip it will be without any NYPD detail,” Mamdani told PIX11. The mayor’s clarification came after The Post reported late Monday that Duwaji...

A new land speed record was set today in Utah by British driver Andy Green, driving a specially designed JCB Hydromax car, which reached 406.320 miles per hour. The milestone was set in the bright yellow tubular vehicle, powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines, which Green calls the “fuel of the future” at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. He easily beat the previous class record for a hydrogen engine, which had stood at 185 mph. The driver is a former Royal Air Force fighter pilot who is the only person to have broken the sound barrier on land,...

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order backing fewer routine vaccines for kids, calling to whittle down the number of recommended childhood shots to 11 while falsely tying immunizations to autism. The order builds on the Trump administration’s efforts to reshape the childhood shot schedule under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic. “This updated recommendation finally aligns the United States with other advanced and developed nations around the world,” Trump said during a briefing on Monday. “More importantly, it aligns us with common sense and knowledge.” - snip - He also...
