Elon Musk@elonmusk“Best in Show” 🤡Right Angle News Network@Rightanglenews·Feb 26BREAKING - Just days after Senator John Thune said there was no time to debate and vote on the SAVE Act, it was revealed that senators held a dog parade inside the chamber, bringing their pets in for photos and celebration instead of moving forward on the election bill.

Just days after Senator John Thune said there was no time to debate and vote on the SAVE Act, it was revealed that senators held a dog parade inside the chamber, bringing their pets in for photos and celebration instead of moving forward on the election bill.I asked Grok "Is this true"... Yes, the claim in the post is largely true, though slightly misleading in its wording. On February 25, 2026, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) hosted a bipartisan event called the "Bipawtisan Doggi Gras Pawrade" (a Mardi Gras-themed dog parade) in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building in...

In Zoroastrianism, the dog is regarded as an especially beneficent, clean and righteous creature, which must be fed and taken care of. The dog is praised for the useful work it performs in the household, but it is also seen as having special spiritual virtues. A dog’s gaze is considered to be purifying and to drive off daevas (demons). It is also believed to have a special connection with the afterlife: the Chinwad Bridge to Heaven is said to be guarded by dogs in Zoroastrian scripture, and dogs are traditionally fed in commemoration of the dead. Ihtiram-i sag, “respect for...

LAGO DI TESERO, ITALY — Before he became the most famous dog at the Olympics, Nazgul was not known as an escape artist. Still, his owners, Enrico and Alice Varesco, were not taking chances when they left him alone at their apartment alongside the Olympic cross-country ski trails this week. The Varescos were headed out to watch an Olympic biathlon race at another competition venue, a couple hours away over the mountains. Nazgul, a two-year-old, 65-pound Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, was secured inside his spacious kennel, inside the house — with an eight-foot-tall fence separating the Varescos' backyard from the trails where...

On the first Friday of Ramadan, while practicing Muslims will be performing the Tarawih prayer in the center of Times Square, New York dog owners and lovers plan to also take over Times Square for a Pawty of epic proportions. The "Times Square Dog Lovers Gathering" will be hosted from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET, promoted as a sea of Paws and Positivity.To recoin an 80s-ism, New Yorkers are telling Democrat Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani to "Talk to the Paw."This is absolutely glorious. Between the call to prayer that is being blasted around New Yorkistan and Muslims once again...

Tomorrow night in Times Square in New York, Muslims will gather to pray the Ramadan tarawih prayer, and New Yorkers will do this.

Islamists try to show dominance, and the left is going along, except that they picked the wrong issue. ell, that escalated quickly. Islamists are trying to show dominance, and the left is going along, except that they picked the wrong issue. These days, events happen so quickly, it's hard to keep up, but you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard of the left in their red/green alliance stumble into one of the worst 90/10 issues of all time. Along with blaring the call to prayer (noise ordinances, what noise ordinances?), one of New York...

Dogs have graced my life and those of my family and friends immensely. And Muslims? Not so much. New York City is going to the dogs, courtesy of Marxist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Which is ironic as Muslims are not dog lovers. In fact, in response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Muslim anti-Israel activist Nerdeen Kiswani recently tweeted: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam.” She added that dogs “are unclean.” She later claimed her remarks were a “joke.” That pathetic attempt at backpedaling was the real joke, and a bad one. Rep. Randy...

Shocking images and reports of dogs being killed in Morocco have drawn global scrutiny of a campaign linked to the country's 2030 World Cup preparations. (Snip) Animal welfare organizations have released images and testimony alleging Moroccan authorities are using harsh methods, including clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies in mass graves. A report published last month described Marrakech, expected to host World Cup matches, as a 'kill center', where canines were transported in white vans and processed in warehouse facilities fitted with meat hooks and washable flooring....

Apparently, Americans must give up their dogs to avoid appearing “Islamophobic.” Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is the left’s outrage du jour. The rage mob swung into action after Fine wrote: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” Yeah, that was it. He didn’t say “Kill them all” or even “Deport them all.” He didn’t recommend any action at all. He was actually responding to an X post from far-left, pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani. In response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Kiswani...

A wave of Democrats are calling for Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) to be formally reprimanded or to resign over a social media post he made saying he would choose dogs over Muslims. Fine posted on X on Sunday: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in a statement Tuesday called Fine “a disgrace to the United States Congress” and “an Islamophobic, disgusting bigot.” Jeffries called on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Republicans to respond, slamming them for continuing “to remain silent.” “Republican leaders...

Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam’s 7th-century hatred of man’s best friend, dogs.Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani — who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Florida GOP Rep. Randy Fine faced backlash over the weekend for a post on X where he implied dogs were preferable to Muslims. “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” Fine wrote on X Sunday evening. He added context in a second post where he shared a screenshot of a tweet that reads, “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”

A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic. Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.' 'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X. After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'. '[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote. 'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning...

Hugh Pinneo had just gotten home from high school and was dozing on the couch when his mother’s screams jolted him awake. “I think there’s a dog drowning in the pond!” she shouted. Pinneo, 18, rushed to a window and saw a dog struggling to stay afloat on the partially frozen pond behind their home in Chesapeake, Virginia. The top of the dog’s head was covered in ice as he flailed in the pond, which is about 20 feet deep. Pinneo, a senior at Grassfield High School, threw on a jacket and shoes, and ran outside. “My instinct kicked...

Three adult dogs and seven puppies found abandoned near the Gaza border will be flown to the US for adoption by American soldiers who served in the area during the Gaza war. The soldiers discovered the animals and decided they couldn’t leave them behind, according to Israel’s Let the Animals Live association. Let the Animals Live said it was caring for the canines in kennels before they are flown out, while also dealing with the export bureaucracy and ensuring that all shots are up to date. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (International) is funding most of...

A North Carolina veterinary technician has been charged and fired from her job after she rescued a dog that was abandoned in the cold winter weather — but failed to hand the pooch over to animal control. Dason Garner has been left “completely broken” as she faces charges for keeping a stray animal, failure to surrender and interfering with law enforcement over her deed, according to WRAL. Garner says she was punished for her act of compassion in rescuing the pooch from the brutal conditions after a harsh snowstorm barreled across Wilson, NC, over the weekend.

SNIP Yet “personal protection dogs” like Cassidy are bought, sold and trained every day in the UK. At the top end of the market, purpose-bred animals trained to bite, hold and release on command are sold for tens of thousands of pounds, marketed as family pets that double as live-in security solutions. Demand for these dogs, once the preserve of the ultra-rich and security professionals, seems to be growing, fuelled by celebrity endorsements, social media and widespread anxieties about crime. This is also a largely unregulated corner of dog ownership, raising difficult questions about public safety, animal welfare and where...

There is a disturbing report coming out of Minnesota: dogs belonging to an immigration officer are being targeted. Even more ominous was the note left on the kennel's feed chart, where this four-legged friend was being housed. This comes after the January 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, who was killed after she rammed her vehicle into an ICE agent. The incident has jacked up the progressive base, where mayhem has engulfed the city—1,500 troops are reportedly mobilized to deploy if the president should invoke the Insurrection Act. Frankly, if they go after the dogs, order the code...

LOXAHATCHEE, Fla. (CBS12) — Eighty-eight German Shepherds are finally safe after federal agents raided a Texas breeding operation where dogs were reportedly killed.
