  • Revisiting the Flight 800 crash...

    My moment of awakening, to the fact that the government lies to us and covers stuff up happened in the Flight 800 crash over Long Island Sound. It was July 17, 1996, and I took a Mental Health day from work. I was tuned to MSNBC. Back in those days, MSNBC had not yet become an asylum for the politically insane, and actually had decent coverage about Clinton's many foibles, to eventually cover his scandals and subsequent impeachment. Suddenly, Norah O'Donnell, who was working there at the time (and actually was a pretty decent journalist back then) cut into the...

    Prosecuting a young mother for her angry words seems poisonously symbolic. ast week, a Minnesota jury convicted Shiloh Hendrix of disorderly conduct for using a racial slur against a Somali man who was harassing and recording her. The “crime” occurred in a public park last year after Hendrix caught a Somali child stealing from her handbag. Hendrix had her hands full with her own toddler at the time, and her protective maternal instincts kicked in. Black Lives Matter (a domestic terror group that Democrats and Mitt Romney enthusiastically support, even after BLM caused more property damage during the 2020 George...

    “. . .there is no saving the Left. There is only saving America from them.” — Sasha Stone. The polycrisis of 2026 whirls like a demon-infested storm overcoming this human project of ours like a medieval panorama of the world’s end. Everything is fraught, tilting toward hazard, menace, ruin. Even under a summer sun, the mind sees only darkness everywhere it looks. Apocalypse now, it seems like. You almost can’t blame the doomers, the black pill-ers, lost in their transports of dread. But I tell you, we will get through this. Is it a surprise that the IRGC has a...

    The Democratic National Committee is a mess. They're so broke that they recently put their headquarters building up as collateral in order to get access to cash. States are openly threatening to defy their new primary schedule. The organization desperately needs new leadership. Enter longtime Democrat strategist James Carville. He recently named the person he wants to take over the DNC and his choice will blow your mind. It's David Hogg. Yes, really. The Hill reports: Carville: Hogg should take over ‘dysfunctional’ DNC Democratic political strategist James Carville on Sunday said David Hogg, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair,...

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 26 Jul, 2026 | Francis Menton
    “Nixonmaxxing” — apparently this is a trendy new term in conservative circles. It refers to a rising level of interest in all things Nixon, particularly among younger conservatives. Philip Wegmann and Vera Bergengruen report on the phenomenon in the Wall Street Journal of July 18: The kids are “Nixonmaxxing.” More than half a century after Watergate, conservative youth are discovering the aesthetic, and adopting the attitude, of the late Richard Nixon. . . . Nixon is being recast as a forerunner of “America First” by a new generation of conservatives: a combative president loathed by the press and besieged by...

    At least his Reddit history isn’t out there. Newly minted Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson frantically deleted almost all of his past social media posts heaping praise on accused rapist Graham Platner, The Post has learned. Jackson, a former lumberjack and onetime Maine Senate president, had been a staunch backer of Platner up until a former girlfriend publicly accused the Marine veteran and dilettante oyster farmer of sexual assault earlier this month. In all, the 58-year-old Jackson appears to have scrubbed at least 20 posts boosting Platner before the allegations emerged, based on information from the Internet Archive’s Wayback...

    Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark were not made available to answer postgame questions about a rally before the Indiana Fever's 105-95 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night in support of Cunningham's recent comments about transgender athletes. A crowd of a few dozen gathered outside Climate Pledge Arena to both support Cunningham and promote statewide Initiatives 638 and 011, which would bar transgender students from participating in girls’ athletics at Washington schools. Cunningham voiced support for barring transgender girls and women from girls’ and women’s sports in an ESPN article published last week. Cunningham was booed by Storm fans...

    In a new disclosure, OpenAI says its agent used exposed logins to gain access to at least four “publicly available services” in its unhinged quest to solve a test. This story continues to grow as the investigation into what actually happened expands. Open AI was conducting a test of its latest AI model, during that test the model hacked into a company called Hugging Face to gain answers to the test, basically it stole the answers to the test instead of answering the questions itself. What was just discovered was the Open AI model, hacked into a 3rd company's infrastructure...

    FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s plan to create a $20 billion company running the World Cup with private investors including the Kushner family was announced Tuesday — and immediately attacked by European soccer body UEFA. “It is not FIFA’s to sell,” UEFA said in a statement. “None of us are the owners of football.” Infantino’s plans to form a commercial subsidiary, which would be called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), running competitions like the World Cup and Club World Cup was first reported by The Times of London. FIFA said in a statement FFE would raise up to $4.2 billion later this...

    Sophie Cunningham appears to be of MAGA mindset. The WNBA star, who created a firestorm over her comments about transgender athletes, has also shared videos promoting anti-immigration and other right-wing sentiments. First reported by MeidasTouch, the Indiana Fever guard reposted a video on TikTok, where she has 3.2 million followers, captioned: “the illegal immigrant conversation confuses me so much.” The re-posted creator, who also included the hashtags “MAGA” and “conservatives,” blasted undocumented people for not “following rules” and argued that those who enter the United States illegally do not deserve sympathy. “You shouldn’t have ----ing came here to begin with,”...

    New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced Tuesday that she will defy a Justice Department request for information about the identities of the 6,600 non-citizens who were erroneously registered to vote in the Garden State. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, had demanded the names, dates of birth, addresses, nationalities and registration dates of the non-citizens on New Jersey’s voter-rolls – 400 of whom are believed to have cast ballots – on July 21 and gave the Democratic governor a five-day deadline to comply with the request. “Today, I informed [Dhillon] that New Jersey will...

    A Wisconsin brewery known for anti-Trump social media posts, including one promising a free beer promotion upon the death of President Donald Trump, has had its permit to operate in the state revoked by state officials. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that liberal activist and brewery owner Kirk Bangstad is “vowing to fight ‘tooth and nail’ after receiving a letter from the state’s Department of Revenue revoking Minocqua Brewing Co.’s permit to operate in Wisconsin, according to a July 26 newsletter sent to his supporters.” “As you can imagine, I’m not taking this lying down,” Bangstad wrote in a...

    Executive summaryAutism is a huge problem in America and other countries. In my state, 5% of the kids are autistic and it keeps getting worse.Even though this is a crisis, we do not really want to know the true cause of autism.Why? Because if we used a time proximity analysis, it would reveal that the parental decision to follow their pediatrician’s advice and vaccinate their kids is the cause.Congress will not investigate because they will lean on large studies which use methods designed specifically not to find a signal to claim vaccines don’t cause autism. But those studies only prove...

    Longtime New Yorkers fume after being hit with massive pied-à-terre tax bills: ‘Is this a witch hunt?’ New Yorkers were seething Tuesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration alerted them they’d be on the hook for the state’s new pied-à-terre tax — which was explicitly sold as a levy targeting wealthy owners of luxury second homes. Longtime residents — some who have called the Big Apple home for decades and own a single abode in the city — told The Post they were shocked to get hit with five-figure tax bills they believe were mistakenly mailed out, and are now being...
