The classic rock group known as the Steve Miller Band has announced that they are canceling all remaining dates on their current tour because of the weather, or more specifically, the ‘extreme’ weather conditions brought about by climate change. Rock and roll just isn’t what it used to be, apparently. The group made the announcement on Twitter/X. Variety reports:

Jewish New Yorkers for Mamdani A political ad of Jews in New York who support their own demise.

'I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots,' Jamie Dimon ... JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon panned New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as "more a Marxist than a socialist" and criticized Democrats who he says spend too much time on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Dimon urged voters not to support Mamdani after the New York state representative won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor last month in a campaign that included pushing for a rent freeze and city-owned grocery stores. "He's more of a Marxist than a socialist, and now you...

Zohran Mamdani doubles down on plan to target ‘whiter neighborhoods’ with higher taxes — and says billionaires shouldn’t exist Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” on Sunday — and also asserted that billionaires shouldn’t exist. Mamdani claimed that his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” — despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners. “That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus...

In a rare display of bipartisanship, Representatives Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) have introduced a concurrent War Powers Resolution directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities involving Iran unless expressly authorized by Congress. The measure comes in the wake of Operation Rising Lion — the name given by Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu for Israel’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 13, which has quickly escalated into a tit-for-tat exchange of missiles between the two nations.Massie and Khanna’s resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and asserts that the president must terminate any...

At 11:25 in this video, a protestor who traveled to Egypt with a bunch of other protestors, asks an Egyptian law enforcement officer, “We could do it in America, why can’t we do it here?” I think that’s an excellent question. But I think his timing is horrible. He, as well as all of the other protestors, should have done some research on Egypt’s laws regarding protesting and immigration before they traveled to Egypt. And I’d say the same thing for any other country. Always research the laws in any country that you plan to visit, before you make your...

They should have put this protest on ice. A massive raid on a suspected cartel member found in Arizona with a huge stockpile of drugs and guns was interrupted by “idiots” who thought it was “an ICE raid,” according to a sheriff. Investigators had spent around six months investigating the unidentified cartel member, who had crept back into the country despite previously being deported, according to Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple [snip] “Even when it was explained to them [protesters] that this was a criminal case, where we were taking a criminal drug smuggler, a known felon off the street...

Thirty-two passengers were rescued Saturday evening after a multimillion-dollar luxury yacht started sinking off the coast of Miami Beach. The yacht — a 63-foot Tecnomar for Lamborghini that costs an eye-watering $4 million — was taking on water near Flagler Monument Island, a popular man-made island in Miami's Biscayne Bay.

Over a year ago, the Netherlands reported numerous sperm mega-donors within the country, leading to fears of accidental incest. The number of these mega-donors seems to keep growing, with the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NVOG) now admitting at least 85 men have fathered 25 or more children. The most infamous Dutch sperm mega-donor is Jonathan Meijer, who is believed to have over 1,000 children and was the subject of a Netflix documentary last year. Meijer had been ordered to stop donating sperm, though he appeared not to have complied, just moving his sperm donation business outside of the...

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman was interrupted by shouts from software engineer Ibtihal Aboussad during his speech at the Friday celebration while Vaniya Agrawal, another engineer, interjected during a question-and-answer session with Microsoft founder Bill Gates, CEO Satya Nadella and former CEO Steve Ballmer. Earlier this year, the Associated Press reported that the company’s commercial artificial intelligence (AI) is being used by the Israel Defense Force in Gaza. “How dare you celebrate when Microsoft is killing children,” Aboussad yelled as...

Russian state media outlet RT published a story about the British Navy launching a ‘HMS Prince Andrew’ – not realising it was an April Fools’ joke. On April 1, a satirical article was published by the UK Defence Journal which claimed the navy was building a new supercarrier that could carry “infinity-hundred’ aircraft and would be named after Prince Andrew. The obviously tongue-in-cheek article said the carrier would be armed with Cold War-era Harriers or “naval Typhoons” launched via six catapults, and cost the taxpayer a modest £987.6 billion. The piece also quoted a pretend expert from the ‘Daily Mail...

Woman whose MAGA hat meltdown, subway wipeout went viral is an ‘extremely liberal’ luxury-brand specialist She’s going to need a re-brand! The woman who received “instant karma” after berating a President Trump supporter on the subway — and then face-planting on the platform after trying to grab his “Make America Great Again” hat — is an increasingly “agitated” creative director for several luxury brands, The Post has learned.

Female Democrat politicians uploaded what is being called ‘the cringiest video of the year’.

Jack Schlossberg goes on foul-mouthed tirade against DOGE after JFK Library shuts down over cuts to taxpayer-funded staff Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg unleashed a foul-mouthed rant against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) late Tuesday after his grandfather’s namesake JFK Presidential Library and Museum temporarily closed due to layoffs of taxpayer-funded staff. The 32-year-old grandson of President John F, Kennedy told the cost-cutting DOGE initiative to “eat s–t” after the Boston-based library shut its doors Tuesday afternoon because of staffing cuts. The library blamed the closure on President Trump’s recent executive order overhauling the federal workforce. “Hey, it’s Jack,”...
