Elisabeth Hasselbeck is singlehandedly shifting the Overton window for what’s acceptable to be said on The View. As the panel was trashing Kristi Noem, she set off a grenade by making ironclad arguments for a closed border. “How many people in the audience had to go through security to get here? Raise your hand.” HASSELBECK: “I think all lives matter to God.” “And we are in uncommon times, so we need to have uncommon sense about things like this.” “Yes, there will be mistakes made, but I think if Kristi Noem were up for promotion right now and she put...

@SaraGonzalesTX Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, I am one of your biggest supporters and I am urging you as someone who is in the Texas grassroots: do NOT endorse Cornyn. It will be one of your biggest mistakes. The majority of Texas voters voted AGAINST Cornyn last night. We don’t want him!

---SNIP--- The New York Times’ Terence Smith, writing about Iran in 1984, described the use of child soldiers by Iran to clear minefields. Young boys, aged 12-17 years, wore red headbands with the words ‘Sar Allah’ in Farsi (Warriors of God) and small metal keys that the Ayatollah declared were their tickets to Paradise if they were martyred in their mission. Many were sent into battle against Iraqi tanks without any protection and bound by ropes to prevent desertion. They were the first wave, making the way for Iranian tanks by clearing barbed wire and minefields with their bodies.

It’s hard for taxpayers to stomach! The Baltimore mayor’s office spent more than $890,000 on lavish meals and parties — including crab feasts, catered “farewell” bashes and massive tabs at Ravens football games, according to a report Wednesday. Mayor Brandon Scott’s administration blew taxpayer cash on over-the-top perks for staffers — including $52,589 on grub in the Mayoral Suite at Ravens and Orioles games — in a gross violation of the city’s “public funds” rules, according to baltimorebrew.com. One of the elaborate meals was served at a $3,636 farewell “office party” for Scott’s former campaign manager Marvin James, which featured...

A brawl during the Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball tournament led to a referee being inadvertently knocked out by a player. South Alabama’s 80-70 win over Coastal Carolina in the second round on Wednesday afternoon descended into chaos in the fourth quarter when players from both sides began exchanging words — and then fists. South Alabama’s Cordasia Harris and Coastal Carolina’s Tracey Hueston briefly chirped at one another before the latter tried to shove and swing at the former. One teammate of Harris grabbed her to restrain her before she could retaliate. Another South Alabama player, along with a ref,...

One of the reasons Thune, McConnell, etc. want to protect Cornyn and get him reelected is so they can pass the Senate Judiciary gavel to him. So they can continue to thwart conservatism and prevent conservatives in executive legal positions. Grassley has been thwarting US attorney nominees with the blue slip nonsense, Tillis stopped Ed Martin and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to support Bondi. Cornyn gone from the committee opens up Mike Lee as chair. With both Cornyn and Tillis gone, and Grassley almost dead, Lindsay Graham will be the only pantywaist left. Cornyn MUST be defeated...

Sen. Tim Sheehy sprang into action Wednesday, helping law enforcement officers subdue an “unhinged protestor” who began “fighting” at a hearing at the US Capitol Building, the Montana Republican explained. Dramatic video of the incident shows the protester — later identified as Green Party Senate candidate Brian McGinnis — resisting multiple Capitol Police officers trying to remove him from a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, is seen jumping into the scrum and trying to yank the 44-year-old McGinnis, who was wearing a US Marine Corps uniform, out of the room. The situation only calmed down...

Kamala, who? A well-known Iranian-American activist who has survived several assassination attempts blasted Kamala Harris after the former vice president criticized President Trump over the deadly US-Israeli strikes on Iran. “Who are you?” asked Masih Alinejad, delivering the stinging rebuke while speaking with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. “I am tired of seeing some politicians here in America, especially Democrats, making this about their own politics, scoring political points like Kamala Harris,” she lashed out. “Suddenly, she kept quiet about the massacre. Suddenly, she found the voice condemning the targeted military strike against the killers. So when ordinary people get...

The popularity of sports worldwide has grown rapidly due to the consistent increase in television rights. With roughly 8 billion people worldwide, it’s very difficult to map which are the most popular—for example, table tennis is most popular in Asia, while the NFL’s following is predominantly based in the U.S.

@rittenhouse2a If Trump endorses Ken Paxton, I'm voting for Ken Paxton. If Trump endorses Cornyn, I'm voting for Ken Paxton. @rittenhouse2a This would be a DISASTER of a decision. A HUGE mistake. Cornyn is a RINO. One of the worst. Paxton is one of the best. He would be a HUGE upgrade to the US Senate.

Dubai expats have been flooding social media with posts insisting the country remains the 'safest place on Earth' - as frightened holidaymakers and British nationals scramble for flights home, with some families paying up to £100,000 for private jets to escape the war-shaken Gulf state. The extraordinary online campaign comes despite Iranian missiles and suicide drones striking across the region, leaving airports disrupted, flights cancelled and thousands of ordinary Britons desperate to get home. While the United Arab Emirates government insists its air defences are successfully intercepting most incoming attacks, the Daily Mail has learned that behind carefully curated Instagram...

Americans are popping pills at a rate that might surprise even their doctors—and most of what they’re taking, they chose themselves.Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults take at least one pill each week, and one in six takes five or more, according to a recent study published in JAMA, highlighting how central medications—both over-the-counter and prescription—are to everyday health.Researchers surveyed 21,000 volunteers aged 18 and older between 2023 and 2024 to discover the most common drugs Americans are taking.Top 10 Drugs Taken by AmericansThe top 10 drugs identified by researchers provide a snapshot of the most common health concerns among Americans.According...

A chief operating officer at a mid-size technology company recently described her return-to-office rationale with unusual candor. “We don’t actually know if the work is getting done well,” she said. “We know it’s getting done. We just can’t tell if it’s excellent or mediocre until something blows up. When people were in the building, I could walk a floor and know within ten minutes which teams were thriving and which were drifting. I lost that.” She didn’t mention culture. She didn’t mention collaboration. She described, with precision, an assessment problem—the inability to distinguish between work that’s adequate and work that’s...

For those who have tons more knowledge than me of the Navy and militaria - Watching the videos of our Navy ships launching missiles, I note each ship is flying a larger than normal American flag up on their top most mast. Some one told me once that when a ship is at war, the flag is flown as high as possible as a warning signal to other ships in the area "This ship is at war, stand clear!" Is that what I am seeing? Thanks

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters on Wednesday that “everybody in America” should watch how their representatives vote on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill expected to come to the floor on Thursday. “You better watch that board. And everybody in America better watch that board. Anybody who votes to block funding for the homeland, it is shameful,” Johnson said. “I don’t know how to describe it. It speaks to a long record of Democrats’ deliberate efforts to undermine America’s safety and the essential operations of DHS.” Democrats have demanded that the White House significantly reform its immigration...

Police in Cleveland, Ohio, are asking the public for tips after two young Black girls were found dead inside separate suitcases buried in shallow graves on Monday. Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said during a news conference that the girls, believed to be between the ages of 8 and 13 and 10 and 14, were found Monday evening. The discovery was made Monday evening after a man walking his dog near East 162nd Street and Midland Avenue, in a field near Ginn Academy, found a partially buried suitcase and called police. Police responded and located a shallow grave and found...

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough swooned over Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico after his primary victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Scarborough said that Talarico had “exploded onto the national stage, a lot like Barack Obama.” Scarborough unapologetically repeated the analogy: “Yes, I will say, a lot like Barack Obama.”Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
