Midway through 2026, energy is the issue of the moment. The standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, soaring gas prices, the race to build AI data centers, and intensifying competition with China all point to the same question: Who will produce the energy that powers the modern world? That question is headed to the US Supreme Court. In a few months, the justices will hear arguments in one of the most consequential energy cases in decades, Suncor v. Boulder County. It’s one of dozens of lawsuits brought by progressive state and local governments seeking to make oil and gas companies...

It is absolutely incredible the way democrats, and in particular the AWFUL’s, are treating Platner vs. Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh was a choir boy compared to the total scumbag Platner. The shameless and unconscionable difference is truly amazing to watch. I guess democrats have completely changed their minds on “toxic masculinity “.

Now that the race for U.S. Senate in Texas is solidified between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, there are photos emerging of Talarico, who had famously declared his campaign to be "non-meat," now packing all kinds of meat into his mouth. End Wokeness is highlighting some of the images on X, stating: "James Talarico's team is now forcing him to eat meat in front of reporters "proving he's Texas tough." "He looks like he wants to puke."

"Bass has a real race on her hands, if in fact Raman is the one who advances," he said. "And the Democratic establishment is backing Karen Bass. But versus Spencer Pratt, she was crushing him. She wanted to face Pratt. She wanted nothing to do with Raman. That's why these conspiracy theories simply make no sense, people."

Roseanne Milburn, 61, of Winnipeg, had a routine procedure turn into an amputation — not because the surgery failed, but because Canada’s government-run system couldn’t find her a bed. A surgeon at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre removed dead tissue from her knee, then sent her to Concordia Hospital with the plan to bring her back that same day so a specialist could stitch the wound (CBC News). She was never brought back. There was no bed at HSC. So she sat at Concordia with an 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, waiting for the system to make room. As the...

Rosie O’Donnell will not go under the knife again. At Sunday’s Tony Awards 2026, the former talk show host was asked whether she plans to have any more cosmetic work done after fessing up to getting a facelift. “No, I don’t think so,” she told E! News on the red carpet. O’Donnell, 64, told the outlet that she decided to go public with her plastic surgery because she wanted to be genuine. Last month, O’Donnell shared before-and-after photos of her transformation, saying that she felt “shameful” about the surgery because of how much she spent on it.

Smith, regarding former President Donald Trump's planned attendance at an NBA Finals game in New York City (1:47 - 2:03).

The "Jinx" Narrative: The host critiques the narrative that Trump's presence would serve as "bad luck" or a "jinx" for the...

Explanation: What happens to a comet as it leaves our inner Solar System? Now, the arrival of a comet into the inner Solar System is typically heralded with great fanfare and high hopes that the comet will become bright and photogenic. But on the way out, the comet's nucleus is less warmed by the Sun, less gas and dust are expelled, the bright coma around the nucleus shrinks and fades, and the tail length drops off. Many comets will then return to the outer Solar System and only return in hundreds or thousands of years. In contrast, some comets --...

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Sunday slammed the exclusion of LGBT cops from walking in uniform with their guns at Manhattan’s Pride March — before participating with a group in Queens’ version. “Once again, they banned NYPD officers from marching in full uniform later this month,” Tisch said of the Manhattan organizers. “That decision is as hypocritical as it is a slap in the face to the New York City Police Department and to the spirit of pride.”

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia. Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire. Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections. There’s just one small problem. Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940....

Organizers instructed participants to “Be as loud as you can. Be as obnoxious as you can. Make these people hate us. Make sure they know you hate them.” A group of far-left activists descended on Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit over the weekend, intent on heckling attendees, ridiculing the event, and creating as much disruption as possible. The three-day summit, which began Friday at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, took place under heightened security after months of organizing by activist groups opposed to the event. The security concerns were not merely hypothetical. Just one week before the summit, authorities...

Lawsuit incoming! Lawsuit incoming! Watch the "journalists" at CNN freak out when one of their guests, Veronica Escobar of El Paso, says a verifiably false thing that CNN knows will get them sued into oblivion.

The pro-Trump guest is specifically telling Representative Escobar to watch her mouth and not call Trump "guilty" of rape. And then Escobar charges in, insisting he...

It’s time again for the quadrennial question: Can this be the World Cup that finally converts U.S. sports fans to soccer fanatics? In 2026, the answer might be yes, or at least closer than ever. For the first time since 1994, the FIFA World Cup is being played on (North) American soil, and polling suggests an attitude shift.

YouGov data shows that 43% of U.S. sports fans cite hosting the tournament as a key reason they plan to...

No one believes Satan has prophets, but he does, this is what they are telling us to believe, but worst of all, this is exactly what we are doing. When the prophet Micah began preaching to Israel about their political, social, and economic decline, they accused him of blasphemy, and there are those who would be more than glad to have put him to death. The Golden Age of Israel was at its peak during Micah’s time, and to say that it was going to end suddenly, completely, to the people it sounded like deep blasphemy. They wouldn’t hear of...

President Trump blasted the Los Angeles Mayor election on Monday after Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman overtook highly popular Republican Spencer Pratt in the ongoing total vote count, which remains ongoing six days after the election. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, Nithya Raman was projected to advance to a runoff election with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass after another fraudulent vote result dump gave her a lead over Spencer Pratt. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/breaking-rigged-election-buries-la-mayoral-candidate-spencer/ Raman came back from a roughly 40,000-vote deficit after Los Angeles spent five days counting the late mail-in ballots received after Election Day. With an estimated 146,000 ballots...
