“Star Trek: Starfleet Academy,” a new series set in the “Star Trek” universe, is getting review-bombed online after debuting its first two episodes Thursday night, with some anti-”woke” critics targeting the show, including Trump advisor Stephen Miller. The first two episodes of “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” premiered Thursday night on Paramount+, while the first episode is also streaming for free on YouTube. The teen-focused show stars Holly Hunter as the chancellor of the titular “Starfleet Academy,” set centuries in the future but roughly around the time of the later seasons of “Star Trek: Discovery.” Despite decent critic reviews and a...

A Texas fugitive wore an ominous sweatshirt threatening to abduct people as he was arrested in connection with the “suspicious” death of a 37-year-old woman. Kruz Dean Wanser was charged with felony tampering/fabricate physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and parole violation, officials announced Thursday. Wanser was wanted by the Azle Police, the Texas Rangers and the US Marshals after Margaret Pennington was found dead in her Azle home last Sunday. Officials had offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to Wanser’s arrest on...

There are no flotillas on the way to save Iran. No Soros-funded “democracy” groups pressuring Western governments to intervene on behalf of civilians being arrested and murdered. No astroturfing movement demanding economic boycotts. When college students return from winter break this month, they’ll find not a single encampment supporting the Iranian uprising against one of the world’s most brutal regimes. Nor are there any emergency meetings or condemnations from the United Nations — member states have been busy denouncing the United States for removing Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and Israel for its recognition of Somaliland. The more people might be...

Social media has become a driver of information, among many other things, but it’s also provided the single greatest argument toward ending women’s suffrage. I’m sorry, but white, crusty, liberal women have killed the case for the 19th Amendment. Should there be a complete and total shutdown of women’s voting rights until we can figure out what’s going on? Maybe. Look, we know what’s going on, to be honest. We killed their hopes of a Hillary Clinton presidency and obliterated Kamala Harris’ shoddy, inept, and overall shambolic 2024 campaign. With all the whining, ranting, and calls for violence, have you...

For many years now we have all been agonising over the fertility crisis. Why aren’t the kids having kids? It’s become a sort of parlour game, the swapping of the various theories. Is it the cost of living? Micro-plastics? Eco-anxiety? Tight underwear, I heard the other day, and snorted with scorn even as I tipped my son’s stretch-cotton pants into the bin. But now another, rather more fundamental explanation for the baby shortage has emerged. It’s not just that younger generations aren’t having babies – it turns out they aren’t really having sex at all. The Atlantic was first to...

@LindseyGrahamSC I just landed in Israel, the one and only Jewish State, and America’s strongest ally and friend since its founding. If you think I flew all the way to Israel after having not slept much in days to make sure we do not hold the ayatollah’s murderous regime accountable for the slaughter of its own people, being the largest state sponsor of terrorism with Americans’ blood on its hands, and who has an endless quest to cheat and obtain a nuclear weapon to advance their sick religious Nazi beliefs, then you have missed a lot. I look forward to...

Transcript SummaryWell, it’s a great question, Brian, because I think the world is still determining what that order is going to be. And let’s be clear what we’re talking about first and foremost, which is: what are the trading…What is going to govern global trade? What is the role of the WTO going to be? How important are bilateral deals, such as the one we’re developing, plural lateral deals, if I can use that term, Trans-Pacific Partnership, potential linkages between Trans-Pacific Partnership and the EU. Where is financial regulation, payment system regulation going to fit into that? All of these...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court took a break from deliberations regarding individuals competing in sports designated for the opposite sex to bring in an expert five-year-old boy to explain the difference between boys and girls."Boys have wee-wees and girls have vee-vees," said Hunter Plath, a five-year-old boy from Iowa.According to court records, the explanation elicited various responses from the justices. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson were seemingly astonished, saying, "Ohhhhhhhh!" Associate Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh only giggled.Justice Clarence Thomas reportedly rolled his eyes as the two most liberal justices of the court followed up with questions on...

It has been four years since the world was brought to its knees by a virus that many evidence-based reports now indicate leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. You would think the federal government and the “experts” in the public health establishment would have learned their lesson. You would be wrong. Colorado State University (CSU) is moving full steam ahead with a massive, taxpayer-funded “Bat Resource Center.” This new facility, which is bankrolled by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the very same agency that funded dangerous research in Wuhan, will import and breed exotic bats to experiment on...

Mighty Dover Castle commands a view of the shortest sea crossing between Britain and continental Europe, a position of immense strategic importance. But within the walls of the medieval castle stands a much older building, dating from a time when Britain was an outpost of the Roman Empire.Around 2,000 years ago, in the early 2nd century AD, the Romans built a pharos, or lighthouse, here. This would have guided the ships of a Roman fleet into the harbour below.Not only is the Dover pharos the most complete standing Roman building in England, it's also one of only three lighthouses to...

Candace Owens is now pushing that Charlie Kirk was a TIME TRAVELLER - and that he had "AGENTS" (yes, like the Matrix) monitoring him from childhood - and that he was killed because he tried to DISTURB space-time continuum. No, I'm not kidding.

Explanation: These cosmic clouds have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the fertile starfields of the constellation Cepheus. Called the Iris Nebula, NGC 7023 is not the only nebula to evoke the imagery of flowers. Still, this deep telescopic image shows off the Iris Nebula's range of colors and symmetries embedded in surrounding fields of interstellar dust. Within the Iris itself, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star. The dominant color of the brighter reflection nebula is blue, characteristic of dust grains reflecting starlight. Central filaments of the reflection nebula glow with a faint reddish photoluminescence as some dust grains...

Progressive Researchers Claim They Are 15-20 Years From Finding Out What A Woman Is U.S. — Progressive researchers working with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU ) said they were only a mere 15-20 years away from finding out what a woman is. "We're very close," said Dr. Nina Rangleford, a medical doctor and biology expert. "We've studied hundreds of human bodies and cross-referenced those findings with what people feel. We're confident we'll be able to provide an accurate definition of what a woman is in just 15 years. Twenty, max." Researchers said they have left no stone unturned in...
