@atrupar JD Vance ends his press conference by turning on Israel: "What does bother me is you've seen people in Bibi's cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attacked the president. My message to them is Donald J Trump is the only head in the state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.

A couple says their five-month-old infant was delivered alive at an abortion clinic in New Jersey — then trafficked for fetal organ harvesting. They named the little girl Clementine. Their allegations are detailed in the Center for Medical Progress’ new documentary, “What Happened to Clementine?” Filmmakers interviewed Tommy Kearns, Clementine’s father, and Clementine’s mother, who has chosen to remain anonymous. Clementine’s parents are wondering: Where is their child? Kearns told the Daily Caller: “If Clementine’s scalp is growing on the back of a lab rat, then the question is not scientific. It is about our child. How long is her...

Joe Rogan has claimed that multiple former US presidents “threw a lot of money” at Spotify to remove his hit podcast over accusations he was spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine. Rogan, 58, made the remarks while speaking with behavior expert Chase Hughes during a discussion about social media and influence on Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “I’m not kissing your ass here, but you’re willing to say s–t that sounds preposterous at the beginning of something, and just make an observation that’s real,” Hughes told Rogan. SNIP Rogan described the pushback he faced during that period, claiming,...

An Arizona woman went on an unhinged rant against a taco restaurant because it is owned by two white brothers. Lily Kaplan torched Poolboy Taco in Phoenix after sampling the Mexican eatery's nachos and soft tacos. She shared a blistering review with her 21,000 TikTok followers earlier this month slamming the quality of the food and taking aim at owners Jared and Aaron Pool.

Top White House officials on Thursday morning bade farewell to a jet that has carried U.S. presidents around the world for 35 years, as the Trump administration prepares to replace it with a Boeing 747 donated by Qatar to serve as Air Force One. As President Donald Trump and his staff returned from France after 3 a.m. on Thursday morning, White House communications director Steven Cheung and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted photos of one of the highly customized, heavily fortified Boeing 747-200B jumbo jets that are called Air Force One when carrying the president. “Well...

A British tourist was attacked and wounded by a sword-wielding martial arts instructor following an alleged confrontation with a local in Thailand. The holidaymaker reportedly went on a rampage following a road rage incident with a motorcyclist on the resort island of Phuket on June 13. He yelled at the motorist and allegedly threatened residents with an iron pipe before Muay Thai and sword-fighting instructor Waikoon Promsuwan, 50, confronted him at 11.30pm. Chaotic footage of the incident shows the shirtless man holding the weapon as he taunted Waikoon and called him a 'p****'. Waikoon then charged at him with a...

As Peter McIlvenna reported earlier, the 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report, released on June 16, 2026, was led by Restore MP Rupert Lowe and survivor advocate Sammy Woodhouse. Funded by more than 20,000 British supporters, this investigation reveals a major failure in child protection. It documents the systematic grooming, rape, trafficking, and abuse of at least 250,000 vulnerable White British girls by mostly Muslim Pakistani gangs throughout the UK. The report’s main finding is clear. Organized groups, with 87-95% of convicted offenders having Muslim names, mostly of Pakistani background, targeted girls as young as 11 from unstable homes and care...

Left-wing candidate Abdul El-Sayed is now leading Michigan’s Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed is campaigning for the seat held by Democrat Gary Peters. Michigan’s primary is Aug. 4, and the winner will likely compete with Republican Mike Rogers in the Nov. 3 general election.

A proposal to impose a one-time 5 percent tax on the assets of California billionaires has qualified for the November ballot. The California Secretary of State’s office announced Wednesday that supporters had gathered enough signatures to place the measure before voters after months of maneuvering and opposition from influential political and business leaders. The proposal, backed by a health care union, would levy a one-time tax on the assets of the state’s wealthiest residents. Advocates of the measure claim the increase in revenue would help offset the effects of federal spending reductions and provide resources to prevent hospital closures and...

The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted and disabled a vessel carrying 25 Chinese migrants who were allegedly attempting to enter the United States illegally by sea, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The encounter occurred June 10 off the coast of Florida after the vessel failed to comply with Coast Guard orders to stop approximately one mile south of Key Biscayne, DHS said Wednesday. According to the department, Coast Guard personnel opened fire on the vessel to disable it after its operators refused commands to halt. No injuries were reported during the incident. Federal officials said the boat was attempting...

La Reconquista is no longer just rhetoric, but a contested network of consulates, NGOs, and advocacy groups reshaping the U.S. Southwest immigration debate. The support network includes NGOs and Mexican consulates. This is Part II of a two-part series analyzing the La Reconquista movement. It calls for the cultural, demographic, or political “reclamation” of the U.S. Southwest, which Mexico lost after the Mexican-American War. Part I discussed the movement’s origins and history, ideological core, and its organization in the U.S. This part covers the movement and Mexican consulates in the U.S., Reconquista goals and tactics employed, the movement’s ties to...

New York waited for a Knicks championship for more than half a century. On Thursday, the drought ends in tons of confetti and a trip down the Canyon of Heroes for what may be the largest parade in the city’s history. The Knicks, NBA champions for the first time since 1973, will roll up Broadway in their first-ever ticker-tape parade in front of an audience that could number in the millions. By 7:30 a.m., the NYPD announced that viewing pens were full and nobody else would be allowed into the area. Police also said no trains would be stopping south...

According to a report in La Brújula Verde, a second intact Etruscan tomb has been discovered in central Italy's San Giuliano necropolis by a team of researchers led by Davide Zori of the San Giuliano Archaeological Research Project (SGARP) and Baylor University. More than 600 tombs have been identified in the area, but most of them have been looted since the Roman conquest of the region in the third century B.C. The slab closing this tomb had remained in its original position, with no signs of tampering. The remains of at least two individuals have been found inside the tomb,...

I have often noted that the climate scam and the associated forced energy transition would of necessity go away at some point because the proposals being advocated to “save the planet” could never possibly work. But the open question has always been, when that happens, what will it look like? Would all the big enviro groups like the Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club all go on national TV one night and admit that the whole thing was a fake scare from the beginning? In the real world, that’s not how these things...

This isn't the kind of news liberals generally see fit to print. The New York Times Magazine this week published a mammoth look at the last days of life for sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, apparently aimed at establishing firmly whether the official finding that Epstein committed suicide actually holds water On that front, the effort is a failure, but the notoriously liberal publication did manage to cement one fact -- and it's not the kind of fact its liberal readership craves when it comes to President Donald Trump. Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with trying to take down Trump before suicide,...

BREAKING: the American "online right" has discovered Reasonable Blackman and are enjoying memes about him. The left will never recover from this. "Oh, this McDonald's is out of sweet and sour sauce? No need to cause a scene, I'll just dip my McNuggets in honey mustard instead." — Reasonable Blackman “Oh this gentleman has asked me to leave the premises. I will do so without causing a scene or violently stabbing him.” - Reasonable Blackman “By heavens, this is a most excellent motion picture. I shall take especial care not to converse during its exhibition, lest I spoil the enjoyment...

President Donald Trump kicked off his Thursday morning by lashing out at critics of his 14-point deal with Iran, calling them “fools.” On Truth Social, Trump bragged about stock market gains this week and average gas prices falling slightly since the announcement of the memorandum of understanding (MOU), which can be read here. The deal has found critics on both sides of the political aisle, with some arguing that the deal is not tough enough on Iran. Others have also red-flagged framework in the deal that would set up a $300 billion reconstruction fund, as well as sanctions being lifted...

Anger and anxiety filled a packed town hall Tuesday as hundreds of Altadena residents pushed back against proposals that could transform single-family neighborhoods devastated by the Eaton Fire. Nearly 450 people attended the meeting, where residents learned that 49% of properties sold in the burn zone since the wildfire have been purchased by developers, a revelation that drew an audible gasp from the crowd. The debate centers on California housing laws, including SB 9 and SB 1123, which can allow developers to build up to 10 housing units, as high as three stories, on a single residential lot. Residents warned...

I’m learning to never underestimate the sores of racial discontent. have now written two essays in which the blacks introduced new social media trends to protest the Karmelo Anthony verdict. The first was where they would randomly attack and violently assault unwitting white people and accuse them of being involved with the “jury” or “jury selection.” The second involved them using AI to photoshop themselves into a picture of Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look like they were urinating all over it. Now, for the third time in two weeks, they’ve got a new one, and this one is called...

In recent years, much has been made of the classic Monty Python “Loretta” scene from the 1979 film Life of Brian. To refresh our memories, the People’s Front of Judea (not to be confused with the Judean People’s Front!) are plotting their overthrow of Roman tyranny. As Reg (played by John Cleese) is moderating the discussion, Francis (Michael Palin) espouses the inalienable rights of every man while Stan (Eric Idle) continually interrupts Francis’ “every man” statements with the addition of “or every woman,” leading Francis to eventually forget what he was saying in the first place. When Francis regains his...
