Went and saw Supergirl with my comic loving teenager. Don’t know why other than the actresses comments in an interview this movie is being dissed around here. Nothing political. Comic loving son said character was pretty accurate. Go see it. Even pluggedin online said it was fine. We should support the efforts toward normality. Last year’s Superman was really good and sort of old school hero. Same with this movie. Nothing woke that I could find in it.

On Monday, Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui was sentenced by a federal judge to 30 years in prison for defrauding his supporters of over $1 billion dollars. Bob Fu of ChinaAid, a pastor and victim of Guo’s harassment in fall 2020, called the decision “a victory for justice.” While Guo solicited donations for his Rule of Law Society and supposed “anti-communism” cause, Deputy U.S. Attorney Sean Buckley stated that “Guo exploited the trust that thousands had placed in him for his own greed,” according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York. Over several months,...

I just had four F-22s fly over our house in the Silicon Valley area by Mountain View. Very low, probably Here are a couple of stills from the NBC News Bay Area video footage. Turns out figuring out exactly who they were is tougher than it looks. No PA release names a unit, and the F-22 Demo Teams are nowhere near the West Coast right now. They are in D.C. this week and don't hit California again until Fleet Week in October. So this wasn't a demo team stop; it was almost certainly a one-off tasking for the flyover itself....

MAHA Action@MAHA_ActionThe editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening."We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore.""The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem.

The recall involves the Chinese-made Gigglescape Under the Sea Popping Toy, which features a clear plastic dome on a blue, whale-shaped base. When children push a plunger on top, colored balls pop up inside the dome. According to federal safety regulators, the dome can detach from the base, allowing children access to the small balls inside. Target has received nine reports of the dome detaching, including one incident in which a child began to choke on the loose pieces. The recalled toys were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and online from August 2025 through January 2026 for about $10....

As the World Cup goes from strength to strength, millions of visitors from around the world are falling deeper in love with the United States. They came to our great hotels falling asleep with dreams of soccer victories in their heads, but they woke up to something even better than a dream—they woke up to the American Experience, one like no other in the world. One such visitor is Freddy, a great German soccer fan. But to his millions of fans, he is most well known as an exuberant fan of the United States of America. On the highways and...

Temperatures on the ocean surface hit a record high in June, European scientists warned Wednesday, fueling fears of more dangerous heat waves this summer and fanning concerns over the escalating global climate crisis. Two separate services under the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation program — the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernicus Marine Service — announced they had both independently confirmed the record temperatures. Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, warned that the rising temperatures could mark the “beginning of a new phase.” “With ocean temperatures at these levels and El Niño on the horizon, we...

Most people I know are simultaneously excited to meet with and greet new American citizens who are filled with patriotism for their new country, and mad as hell about the illegal immigration and cohort of immigrants (and their children) who openly hate America and are dedicated to destroying it. Many of the most patriotic people I have met are recent immigrants, who often fled authoritarian regimes and appreciate America's promise of freedom and opportunity. A disproportionate number of entrepreneurs and small business owners are immigrants, and it's true that these people inject a vitality that you sometimes don't find in...

Scientific American Sold as Publisher Divests Itself of the Bud Light of Science Journals Hopefully, the new owners will reboot the publication’s priorities. Otherwise, they will find it harder to rebrand the product than Bud Light.I have been following the antics of Scientific American, the Bud Light of science journals, for quite some time now.The low-lights from the magazine’s stack of articles include:Scientific American colluding with other media to normalize “climate emergency” terminology, despite vast swaths of scientific evidence showing the Earth’s climate has continuously changed over 4 billion years. The magazine pushing “birth parent” terminology, which is utter nonsense...

Friday will be the thousandth day since jihadis massacred 1,200 people in Israel. Which means we’ve been wrestling for about 999 days with the appalling fact that the pogroms increased support for Hamas and the other terrorists instead of revolting and alienating world opinion. The jihadis tortured and mutilated their victims, raped and murdered them, burned and starved them, and forced them to watch as they inflicted their horrors on their mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, grandparents and babies. The fact that such evil would draw rather than repel millions of people seems, on the surface, inexplicable. Yet the...

Los Angeles pimps used “horrific” acts of cruelty to keep a vicelike grip on a sleazy stretch of south LA road where perverts can buy sex with children, and women turn tricks for as little as $40, cops and prosecutors said. Vile flesh peddlers maintain a thriving sex business on LA’s Figueroa Corridor by branding prostitutes, recruiting girls from foster homes, forcing them to get abortions, and even biting and punching them with Rolex watches, authorities said. The sickening sex trade secrets of the infamous Hoover Criminals gang’s brutal prostitution ring were revealed in a massive takedown of the Hoovers...

Central bank gold statistics: Central banks remain committed to gold PDF 0.24 mb Central banks were back in buying mode in May – and with a little more spring in their step. Based on the latest reported data, official gold reserves increased by a net 41t during the month, with purchases once again concentrated among a familiar cast of buyers (Chart 1). Much of the activity was driven by Poland (18t) and China (10t), with Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan also continuing their monthly net gold buying activity. Singapore also rejoined the list of buyers, reporting a net purchase of 4t, its...

Donalds was elected to Congress in 2020. A man who missed 161 congressional votes? A congressman with virtually no meaningful legislative footprint? A politician whose public image appears exponentially larger than his measurable achievements? Then there are growing controversies and scrutiny surrounding entities tied to his wife’s business and political ecosystem, issues that critics argue directly contradict the polished “law and order” image being sold to voters.

“. . .a political party doesn’t lose 95 percent of a registration advantage because voters are kinda annoyed. Something much, much deeper is going on.” — Richard Landwirth. Meme credit: Jamie Glazov on X. Okay, convince me that gay-Islamic-race-communism is a “progressive” political program America is going to buy like corn flakes. The Lefty-left wants to think so, as it lurches from one peak of mental illness to an even greater one in the 130 days to the midterms. Look how successful they’ve been with open borders, defunding the police, men in the girl’s swim lane, no cash bail, sex-change...
