A Democratic congressional candidate in Michigan is being roasted online over a series of unhinged TikTok campaign videos that show her twerking, lip-syncing and posing in front of banners that scream “P—y Power.” Shelby Campbell, a 32-year-old single mom, has flooded her social media with clips of herself dancing, responding to haters and spouting her political views as part of her campaign for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, which includes parts of Detroit and several suburbs. Some of Campbell’s more outrageous clips have exploded online in recent days, racking up millions of views as critics claimed that she’s proof that “Democrats...

Meet the new boss. After months of resisting endorsing a successor, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the former House speaker, officially threw her support behind a fellow progressive, San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Connie Chan, on Monday. She is one of the party’s most successful fundraisers, and Chan is expected to benefit from her fundraising network. Connie Chan is an immigrant from Hong Kong, her politics are well to the left and anti-American, and there have been some questions asked about her ties to Communist China’s propaganda infrastructure. Chan’s 2022 decision, as District 1 Supervisor, to designate Sing Tao...

A driver for ride share company “Lyft” is being closely monitored by the platform after he was accused of using artificial intelligence to claim a rider trashed his car. The rider, a teenage girl who lives in Boca Raton, was accused by the driver of leaving his car with fast-food all over the backseat, as seen in the image above. The driver demanded payment to clean up the car and fix the damage. *snip* She identified the image as being generated by Google Gemini. It turns out she was right.

The alleged gunmen in a shooting rampage that left three people dead outside a San Diego mosque have been identified as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, according to a law enforcement source. At least one of the suspects took a weapon from his parents’ home and left a suicide note that talked about racial pride, a law enforcement source told The Post. Clark attended Madison High School and was a standout wrestler, according to the school’s social media page. His grandfather, David Clark, 78, said: ”We’re very sorry for what happened. We know as much as you do....

America has repeatedly been declared a dying empire, yet every rival—from Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union to China—has ultimately fallen short of US power and resilience. One American view of China—now increasingly popular on the Left and the Right alike, especially among the hate-Trump crowd—is that the communist colossus will be forever ascendant, with continued astonishing levels of food production, ship construction, and industrial output. In this pessimistic view, China will soon replace America as the world’s predominant power. We are, supposedly, like an exhausted British Empire circa 1945, and China is the new version of the postwar American...

Apocalyptic climate-change predictions were box-office gold for Hollywood but they did untold damage to the public psyche, economy and the average man’s pocketbook. Now the United Nations’ influential climate change committee has quietly discarded the dire temperature-rise scenarios used in two previous reports predicting horrific consequences of global warming if greenhouse emissions weren’t curbed. For years, lefty outfits — based on dubious climate science — screamed about the coming climate catastrophe: The New York Times warned that “Climate Change Is Harming The Planet Faster Than We Can Adapt,” “Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe” and “A Hotter Future Is Certain.”...

For years, author Mark Steyn mentioned no-go zones and unassimilated communities. In 2017 Raheem Kassam authored the book No Go Zones: How Sharia Law is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You. A comment about the book included the following: “As I read this book, I had forgotten how many people have been murdered in the West in the name of Islam. The commonness with which these attacks are occurring is frightening and even more so, is how numb we’ve become to it. How much blood will be shed before politicians acknowledge the root cause of the problem? Europe is being...

If I didn't have my garage radio tuned to NPR (my early warning system) I never would have known about the stealth plan to build yet another "professional sports complex" with a price tag of $2.3 billion in Hillsborough County. I don't even know which sports team this one's for. The article featured Tampa's Mayor exclaiming they still had a lot of work to do on it but she hoped the "Commission" wouldn't need to "raise taxes" (hint, hint) to get it done. Excuse me, Ms. Mayor but where the hell have you been? In 2024 the County Commission got...

At a rally in a car park outside his campaign headquarters in Florence, Kentucky, on Saturday, congressman Thomas Massie said that the Republican politicians who joined him had made a brave choice. "I'm sure they'll be punished for coming here today," he said. It didn't take long for Massie's warning to prove prophetic, as Donald Trump took to Truth Social to make his displeasure known. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who had been barnstorming with Massie all weekend, and Rand Paul, the Kentucky senator who endorsed Massie and shares his unorthodox small-government libertarianism, were "parading around like fools for the...

This week, the new Star Wars picture – the first live action film since 2019’s commercially successful but largely ridiculed Rise of Skywalker – will come out in cinemas. Clunkily entitled The Mandalorian and Grogu, it is a big-screen spin-off of the once-successful and now largely passé Mandalorian series. A lot is riding on its success, and Lucasfilm, now controlled by Dave Filoni, will be very relieved if it is a hit.Unfortunately, audiences don’t seem especially interested. Advance word on it has been mediocre for some time now – the words “feature-length television movie” have been used more than once...

Examples of podomorphs interacting with the microtopography of the rock. Credit: Oxford Journal of Archaeology (2026). DOI: 10.1111/ojoa.7002 Etched into the ancient rocky outcrops of southern Scandinavia and large boulders left behind by retreating glaciers are footprints, also called podomorphic petroglyphs. Some are barefoot with every toe visible, while others carry the imprint of strapped sandals. A recent study argues that these human footprints created during the Scandinavian Bronze Age, roughly 3,700 to 2,500 years ago, were not mere art or decorative symbols because the petroglyphs weren't placed at random. They were deliberately arranged around water sources and shallow depressions...

For more than two centuries, scientists have tried to determine one of the most important numbers in physics: the universal gravitational constant, known as "big G." It defines the strength of gravity throughout the universe, influencing everything from falling objects on Earth to the motion of galaxies. Yet despite its importance, researchers still cannot agree on its exact value. That uncertainty weighed heavily on Stephan Schlamminger, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as he prepared to open a sealed envelope containing a crucial secret number. For nearly 10 years, Schlamminger had devoted much of his...

After decades of stigma, researchers are studying cannabis and its compounds like never before. As regulations and restrictions ease in many parts of the world, including the US, this controversial plant and its ancient health claims are finally being put to the test. For many years now, scientists have noticed that some cannabis users tend to have lower body weight and a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who don't use cannabis. That is somewhat unexpected, as cannabis is known to trigger the 'munchies', or an appetite for food, in those who use the drug. Now,...

Speaking virtually Monday at the Samson International Smart Mobility Summit in Tel Aviv, Musk said Neuralink’s work restoring speech, movement, and eventually vision amounts to “Jesus-level technologies.” The comments arrived alongside fresh timelines for Neuralink’s expansion, including a new prediction that the company could implant its vision-restoration device, Blindsight, into a human patient before the end of this year.For investors, this was more than another headline-grabbing Musk appearance. It was a reminder that one of the world’s richest men is trying to build an entirely new medical and computing industry at the same time the AI boom is reshaping capital...

An interview for the ages. IMHO - one of the most important interviews I've ever watched. I HIGHLY recommend you take the time to watch this interview. Tommy explains his battle with Islam, why, and what is wrong with the Church in the UK.

In the dark tunnels of an active mine near Timmins, Ontario, something extraordinary is leaking out of the Earth. Long-term measurement provided evidence of sustained accumulation and discharge of natural hydrogen generated within Earth’s crust. Barbara Sherwood Lollar In the dark tunnels of an active mine near Timmins, Ontario, something extraordinary is leaking out of the Earth. It isn’t toxic gas, but pure energy. For the first time, geochemists have captured and measured sustained bursts of “white hydrogen” emanating directly from billion-year-old rock formations. The discovery was led by researchers at the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa....
