    Libtards were so desperate to stop President Trump from hosting UFC America 250, they tried to MANIPULATE the weather forecast. The leftist anti-Trump Weather Channel reported: - 30mph winds - Torrential rain - Lightning storms - Swarms of mosquitos I was actually at the White House. I can promise you none of that happened. Now they just look like idiots. Better luck next time, libs.

    Ed O’Keefe, CBS News’ senior White House and political correspondent, spoke with Vice President JD Vance on Monday morning and pushed him on whether or not Iran’s claim that it will have access to $300 billion for reconstruction from the Trump administration’s peace deal is accurate. “Walk through some of this. The Iranians are saying that they’re gonna have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, true or false?” O’Keefe began. “Well, Ed, that’s the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation.

    Prostate-targeted, engineered nanoparticles made of amorphous silica are effective in killing prostate tumors directly while enhancing antitumor immunity, according to a preclinical study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering. The particles, derived from silicon dioxide, a common component of healthy foods or fossilized sedimentary structures from single-celled organisms, induced several complete remissions of aggressive tumors in mouse models, supporting the further investigation of their use in clinical trials. Originally developed for medical imaging applications, these particles – known as ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles, or Cornell Prime dots (C’ dots) – have...
  • Japanese World Cup Fans Just Exposed Everything Wrong With American Sports Culture

    06/15/2026 9:10:26 AM PDT · by DIRTYSECRET · 25 replies
    Japanese World Cup fans put American sports culture to shame over the weekend as videos circulated across social media showing Japanese supporters staying behind after matches to clean up trash throughout the stadium. Many even brought their own trash bags, viewing it as a sign of respect for the host country, the players, fellow fans, and the venue itself. Their display of courtesy was quickly contrasted with the aftermath of the New York Knicks' NBA Finals victory over the weekend, when crowds poured into the streets, smashing vehicles, setting fires, and causing widespread destruction across parts of the city.

    Today, 1:59 am Share 10 The United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy say they are prepared to lift sanctions on Iran in response to steps on its nuclear program after the US and Iran say they reached a deal to end their war. The deal, to be signed on Friday, will reportedly kickstart 60 days of talks over Iran’s nuclear program. “Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. We stand ready to work with the US, Iran and the IAEA to this end,” the leaders of the countries say in a joint statement, referring to the United Nations’ nuclear agency.

    The Daily Caller ^ | June 15, 2026 | John Loftus
    The United Kingdom, the land of ninnies and nannies, made a good call for once, announcing Monday a social media ban for citizens under 16. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was reportedly hesitant to follow in Australia’s footsteps and ban social media for under-16s in 2025, said “a full ban is the right choice” during a press conference at Downing Street. The ban will block Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X and Facebook, and will also clamp down on livestreaming platforms and other social media tools that allow kids to communicate with strangers. “I want this message to be heard...

  • REFORM UK: Government contractor Serco a "threat to national security"

    Reform UK ^ | June 15 | ZiaYusufUK
    @ZiaYusufUK Serco - the government contractor that runs large parts of Britian's immigration and justice operation - has taken the extraordinary position of saying it would oppose Reform's plan to deport illegal migrants from Britain. Having read the Telegraph's report making this claim, I have written to Serco's CEO asking him to urgently clarify their position. Serco is the firm the Home Office uses to deposit unvetted men from Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq into British housing estates without the knowledge nor consent of local residents. Serco is the firm that launches huge bids for rental homes, outbidding local residents...

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 14 Jun, 2026 | Francis Menton
    I often make fun of the federal government as operating with what it thinks is an “infinite credit card,” outside and beyond any budget restraints. And thus all problems, real or imaginary, can be solved by dispensing some of the infinite federal loot. In its partial defense, the federal government does have the ability to print money, although that ability too eventually runs into limits. And then we have New York City. The City has no ability to print money, but nevertheless operates as if there are no constraints on spending. The sky is the limit! Recently I wrote about...

    Anthropic pulled access to its newly released AI models Mythos 5 and Fable 5 over the weekend after the US government imposed sweeping restrictions on who could use them. The AI lab said in a statement that the federal government told it Friday afternoon that it had become aware of a way of "jailbreaking" Fable 5, bypassing limits that Anthropic had implemented to reduce the risk the model could be misused. When Anthropic first announced Mythos, it released the software only to a select group of government agencies and technology professionals because of its ability to uncover cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The...

    It took longer than many expected but 31 races into his Ferrari career, Lewis Hamilton has finally tasted victory champagne after a superb win under hot skies at the MSC Cruises Grand Prix of Barcelona, Catalonia. The seven-time world champion delivered a composed drive, aided by a strong Ferrari strategy, to beat George Russell by 19.4 seconds and claim his first win in red, while also delivering Ferrari its first victory since 2024. Having opted for an alternate tyre strategy at the start, Hamilton was the only one of the front-runners to commit to a three-stop race, with a well-timed...

    Britain will ban children under 16 from using a range of social media apps including Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube to protect young people from harmful content and excessive screen time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday, Starmer told a news conference that he will fight back if technology companies resist the move, and acknowledged some teens would try to find their way around a ban. But he said he is "not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children." "Every parent can see it with their own eyes. Social media is making children unhappy," said Starmer, who...

    Terrified students are fleeing Belfast after homes were named on a rioters' 'hit list' in the wake of an alleged knife attack by a Sudanese migrant that sparked days of unrest across the city. Young people have been packing their bags and abandoning rented accommodation amid fears properties could be targeted in a wave of violence that has seen homes, businesses and vehicles set on fire. Some streets in south Belfast's student district have been left almost deserted as undergraduates head home, while others have sought refuge with friends after addresses circulated online. The exodus follows several nights of disorder...

    Hundreds of Stanford graduates staged a dramatic walkout during a commencement ceremony on Sunday as Google CEO Sundar Pichai took to the stage. The massive protest turned what should have been a celebration of academic achievement into the latest flashpoint in the ongoing battle over Big Tech's ties to Israel. As Pichai rose to deliver the keynote address at one of the nation's most prestigious universities, groups of students stood up and streamed out of the ceremony in protest. Some waved Palestinian flags, blew whistles and unfurled banners condemning Google's relationship with the Israeli government. The demonstration marked the latest...

    The Democrats’ disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy’s inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and...

    Two Detroit sisters, including one who was nine months pregnant at the time, are accused of stabbing a worker at a Detroit chicken restaurant during a wrong-order dispute, with prosecutors alleging one sister stabbed the employee and that the women attempted to throw hot grease, pans and other items at her. Brianna and Kierianna Long now face several charges in connection with the May 30 incident, including assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, according to local reports.

    Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard on Friday declassified evidence showing that the United States government has funded more than 120 dangerous biolabs in over 30 countries, including 40 “especially dangerous” labs in war-torn Ukraine. In a press release, the outgoing DNI stated that biolabs researching dangerous pathogens in Ukraine have been “at risk of compromise” due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Gabbard stressed that risky Gain-of-Function research is continuing in some overseas biolabs despite President Trump banning the practice. Gain-of-function research is a scientific process that genetically alters an organism to give it a new property or enhance...
