More young men in America are remaining single than ever before, with the rate almost doubling over the last quarter century, according to concerning new data released earlier this week. Statistics compiled by the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) revealed that there were 30.4 million single men aged 18 to 39 in 2025 in the U.S., amounting to almost 10 million more bachelors than there were in 2000 (20.7 million). IFS further estimated that there were 15 million more single men than husbands in this age group in 2025. In 2000, there was only a 2.6 million difference. This rise...

Bud Light Truck Driver Picks a Fight With the Wrong Cops… Big Mistake

Hacking a weak computer system does not equal global doomsday. The news has been full of articles recently about how we’re all going to die by 2030, 2027, or insert your year number. (The piece then quotes from an article from another source... and then continues.) For starters, we can discount the AI supervirus threat. AI doesn’t have to develop a doomsday virus, that world killing doomsday virus was already developed by the Aussie CSIRO in 2001 – who then promptly went on to tell everyone how to replicate their work. Aussie researchers stumbled across a simple genetic hack which...

A former Amarillo, Texas, police officer allegedly weaponized the city’s surveillance system to track a local father dozens of times after developing a personal interest in a female officer the man had previously dated.

Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink made a bombshell admission this morning, disclosing that there are on-orbit weapons deployed right now to protect America’s interests in space. Those weapons support a Space Control mission set, and the U.S. Space Force has now also shared additional details about that directly with TWZ. Meink first made mention of what he described as “on-orbit space control weapons” during his keynote speech earlier today at the Air & Space Forces Association’s (AFA) 2026 Air, Space & Cyber Conference, at which TWZ is in attendance. As head of the Department of the Air Force,...

Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised. It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday - expedited due to her having qualified for Canada's streamlined 'Track 1' pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable. But Donna was not terminally ill, according to her daughters, who insist she was in the midst of a spiralling...

The US actor Sydney Sweeney is facing a backlash from female Olympians and other athletes, who have accused her of demeaning and sexualising women’s sports by appearing in a controversial advert for a sports prediction company. In the viral commercial for Novig, which was viewed more than 22 million times in the first two days of its release, Sweeney’s nude body is covered by footballs, basketballs, and other sports equipment, as she tells users they can bet on “just sports”. After saying “sports” nine times, she appears topless on a pool table, before saying: “You can’t trade this, I just...

Above and beyond the truism that the Abortion Industry opposes anything pro-lifers propose, why are they so dead set against informing women they have a good chance of reversing their chemical abortions if they change their minds early enough and do not take the second of two drugs? Here are three (of many) possibilities. #1. It’s reflexive. If you believe (as abortionists and their media colleagues fervently do) that virtually no woman could ever regret her abortion mid-stream (so to speak), then why bother adding this information to the state’s informed consent language? But if you take the time to...

It’s not just the violent crime, but their disposition while behind the wheel we have to watch out for. Anecdotal evidence is still evidence—which is then almost always backed up by the data. This morning while driving my son to school, I was behind someone who was driving like a total a-hole. He/she was speeding through the school zones (there’s three schools all on the same half-mile stretch of road), and he/she was absolutely riding the person in front. I made an educated guess, and predicted the driver was… black. And it turned out I was right: the driver was...

cannot find the information? Looking for information. Today I found some posts about outdoor security cameras that don't use a cloud. Anyone point me to it? Thank you. I would be most grateful.

DUBAI—The day after the U.S. and Israel launched their opening strikes on Iran, the Islamic Republic shot back with swarms of drones aimed at the Gulf’s newest high-value targets: American data centers. More than six months after the barrage, a damaged Amazon Web Services facility in Abu Dhabi and another one in Bahrain are still mostly offline. The company has told clients to move their data to other regions while it repairs the sites and hasn’t given a date for completing the work. The attacks and lasting damage are complicating the pitch by Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates...

President Donald Trump declared that the White House was a “dump” before he began renovating it, accusing his presidential predecessors of neglecting the historic building and claiming his work has left it “in better shape than when built in 1792.” The president offered the take on Sunday night while posting before-and-after photographs of restoration work at the executive mansion, which has undergone a sweeping and ambitious overhaul during his second term. “The White House was in very bad condition, both inside and out. Frankly, it was a “dump!” Past Presidents did not take care of it. I love renovating it...

Summarise the video This video explores the history of Mar-a-Lago, a massive 110,000-square-foot estate in Palm Beach, Florida, built by Marjorie Merryweather Post in 1927 (0:47-1:54). Despite being a national historic landmark, the estate became a "white elephant"—a property so expensive to maintain that it became a burden rather than an asset (3:02-4:07). Key phases in the estate's history include: Post's failed gifting: Marjorie Merryweather Post attempted to leave the estate to the State of Florida, the Smithsonian Institution, and the U.S. federal government to serve as a winter White House. Each institution ultimately declined or returned the property due...

Gov. Gavin Newsom has revealed one factor that could tank his expected presidential bid: fellow Democrat Kamala Harris. Newsom was asked in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper about his expected White House run, and he didn’t hold back on how the former vice president, his former colleague and rumored frenemy, could change his decision. “I wouldn’t run if she ran,” Newsom said while fly-fishing with Tapper in Montana. “I wouldn’t do that to her … I wouldn’t waste anyone’s time,” Newsom explained, calling it “mutually assured destruction.” The governor, who recently returned from a much-publicized trip to South Carolina...

Tony Lee "TJ" Wiggins Jr., 32, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder, tampering with physical evidence and possessing a weapon as a felon. Prosecutors said Wiggins was the gunman who killed Damion Tillman, Brandon Rollins and Keven Springfield outside a Dollar General in 2020. In his opening statement to the jury on Monday, Assistant State Attorney Ralph Guerra said Tillman went into the discount store on July 17, 2020, to buy a few items before heading out with his friends to go fishing. Guerra said surveillance video showed the defendant inside the store at the same time...

A 21-year-old man barely survived after he was shot three times during an encounter with a ‘street takeover’ in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood last weekend. Matthew Lanske and his friends had just finished dinner in Belltown when they were confronted by a group of armed thugs participating in a ‘street takeover.’ Lanske was shot twice in the stomach and a third time in the pelvis during an attempted robbery as he heroically tried to protect his friend, who tragically died. After being shot three times, Lanske walked two blocks looking for help. Bystanders filmed him rather than calling 911 for help....

Explanation: The hydrogen in your body and present in every molecule of water came from the Big Bang. There are no other appreciable sources of hydrogen in the universe. The carbon in your body was made by nuclear fusion in the interior of stars, as was the oxygen. Much of the iron in your body was made during supernovas of stars that occurred long ago and far away. The gold in your jewelry was likely made from neutron stars during collisions that may have been visible as short-duration gamma-ray bursts or gravitational wave events. Elements like phosphorus and copper are...

President alleges that a conspiracy is undermining support for AI and data centers as industry leaders raise alarms about the technology’s risksPresident Trump pushed back on the need for tighter federal regulations on artificial intelligence and dismissed safety concerns as a hoax that would leave the industry in financial ruin and hand China a competitive edge. The president’s forceful messaging on AI comes as industry leaders sound increasingly urgent warnings about the need for regulation to guard against potential dangers from their own technology, while public backlash builds to the construction of the data centers needed to power it.
